The latest campaign promise  to be added to the ‘’one-district-one  factory of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is ‘’one constituency one  million dollar annual fund’’.

The former Presby PRO said these in Twi: Today marks a sad day for the Christian religion, the statement from Prof Martey is one of the most unfortunate that I
