Police arrest a female tutor of Agona senior high (Ashtech) for answering questions on board for students to copy.

There was a news circulating that indicated that a senior high school girl was nearly kidnapped by some unknown individuals who went to her school to visit. According to the news that was monitored by Ahomka.News, Judith who was in school got a new friend who promised to visit her in school. When she called that she was coming to visit, Judith told her to stop but she was still insisting she will come. Truly, she went to the campus in addition two other ladies.

Judith upon monitoring the call and what the lady was doing, sensed danger so she tried and reached her mother on phone and explained everything to her. Her mother whose name was given as Madam Alberta told her daughter not to go anywhere with them but can find a way to lure them to the house if possible. After giving her daughter the required advice, she went and also told the community members what her daughter told her. Judith managed to lure the alleged kidnappers that was a lady and two other guys at the passenger side of the vehicle. They drove to the area where she lives and on arrival, the community members gathered and pounced on them.

They tried to lynch them but Madam Alberta calm their nerves down. When they asked Judith whether she knows them, she said no but the lady amongst them told her she wants her as a friend and decided to visit her but she told her to stop coming. She didn’t agree and still came. They were handed over to the police. Nana Fynn who was reporting the case to Angel News revealed that, when these alleged kidnappers per intelligence were interrogated by the police it was found out that they weren’t kidnappers but rather wanted Judith to practice lesbianism with her. So it was a targeted plan to initiate her into that act. They are still in the Police custody and will be arraigned before the court of law for legal proceedings.

The evolvement of Corona virus has caused a lot of Deaths Nationwide and continues to kill people. Coronavirus spreads  very fast and has hit every country hard, the fights for Corona virus is still ongoing but another disease which is also becoming pandemic is the Parkinson’s disease.

Research shows that Parkinson’s disease does not spread like coronavirus but present in almost every nation globally, it’s a long-term disease and the rate at which people are suffering from Parkinson’s disease is alarming.

It is caused by genetics( the cells that make up a person can in a way may  have some abnormally ) Muhammad Ali suffered parkinsonism as a result of is genetic makeup but this is not really common.

Head injury or prolong exposure to pesticides in our communities. The most common cause which is recorded almost Nationwide is exposure to pesticides, insecticide and fungicide for farming. This means that our farmers who use this chemical for farming and  individuals also leaving around this farming community have greater risk of getting  Parkinson’s disease in future. Using these chemicals to spray it’s in our homes also poses a challenge to us all.

A research done in California affirms  that individuals who live in places near where a lot of pesticides are used normally so far from parkinsonism in later stages life.

When these chemicals get in contact with our face or they are inhaled they end up destroying the nerve cells in the brain.

When this happens it affects the work of a neurotransmitter called dopamine, dopamine transport impulses through the nerve cells to the brain for movement and coordination so if the nerve cells are damaged dopamine’s cannot work hence the individuals movement and coordination becomes impaired.

Some countries have made it into the constitution that Parkinson’s disease is an occupational hazard and hence anybody who suffers from it especially farmers will be catered for for the rest of their lives.

Signs of Parkinson’s disease include tremors (shaking hands), working slowly, dementia (forgetfulness),  difficulty sleeping, difficulty in movement, unable to stand straight in later stages etc. This shows clearly how Parkinson’s disease is very deadly.

The only way to prevent Parkinson’s disease in Ghana is by the use of organic farming,organic farming does not use chemicals and does not pose any health challenges to our Farmers and those who live near farming communities.

We don’t need to think about how we can change from our inorganic  farming methods to organic  farming because kantanka organic farms  does organic farming and has organic chemical for our crops.

Let’s come together to prevent Parkinson’s disease in Ghana.

Convener of the Fixing the Country movement, Ernest Owusu Bempah has accused the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) and former President John Dramani Mahama of being behind the lie told by 28-year-old Takoradi woman Josephine Panyin Mensah that she was kidnapped and and was also pregnant.

At a press conference in Accra on Sunday, Owusu Bempah indicated that the current National Chairman of the NDC is caught on tape allegedly plotting with some bigwigs of the party regarding how they are going to destabilise the country and make it ungovernable through actions such as kidnapping.

Panyin Mensah who was found a few days after reportedly going missing.

Earlier official complaints lodged by Panyin Mensah’s husband at the police station on Friday, September 17 indicated that she was heavily pregnant and had been kidnapped.

But after being found at Tolanu, a suburb of Axim, exactly five days later, she was without her supposed nine-month pregnancy.

This heightened fears about the turpitude of her alleged kidnappers in the Western Region.

The Ghana Police Service announced that Panyin Mensah pleaded not to be prosecuted after confessing she was not pregnant and not kidnapped.

The Police in a statement on Friday September 24 said “The suspect, Josephine Panyin Mensah, 28, has confessed to the Police during further investigations and stated that neither was she pregnant nor ever being kidnapped. The public will be updated with further details.”

“Ladies and gentlemen of the media, isn’t it interesting to note that these occurrences are happening in a fashion akin to the directives contained in the Ofosu Ampofo tape? The Fixing The Country Movement is not unaware of the political machinations of the NDC and how they are desperate to plunge this country into chaos. It is quite clear that this is the handiwork of those who are desperate for power and will do and employ any tactic fair or foul to achieve their selfish ambition. And this their latest shenanigan has back fired.

“As a matter of fact, we have been told by former NDC Flagbearer aspirant, Stephen Atubiga that the lady in the centre of this fraudulent hoax is a member of the NDC. Indeed, a careful reading of the history would point to the establishment of certain incontrovertible facts that underscored the culpability of the Mahama led NDC in this fake abduction/kidnapping story even before the conclusion of Police investigations. It was meant to cause dissatisfaction for the ruling regime and to incriminate the government for electoral advantage.”

Below is the full statement…

STATEMENT BY FIXING THE COUNTRY MOVEMENT AT A PRESS CONFERENCE HELD ON SUNDAY 26TH SEPTEMBER, 2021 IN ACCRA ON MAHAMA AND NDC’s INVOLVEMENT IN TAKORADI HOAX KIDNAPING SAGA

Ladies and gentlemen of the Press, it is my pleasure to once again welcome you to yet another edition of FIXING THE COUNTRY MOVEMENT media interaction.

Today our searchlight is focused on the issues surrounding the fraudulent hoax of the kidnapping of a so-called pregnant woman in Takoradi. Over the last couple of days, the airwaves have been inundated with claims and counter claims of an abduction of a pregnant 28 years old Josephine Panyin Mensah in Takoradi.

As it were, the police response to the matter has been very swift, and it is no surprising that the pregnancy and the kidnapping turned out to be a fraudulent hoax.

Ladies and gentlemen of the press, the latest police report on the matter indicates that, Josephine Panyin Mensah, the woman currently being detained in the Western Regional police command alleged kidnapping, has confessed that she was neither kidnapped nor pregnant.
This was announced in a brief statement released by the Ghana Police Service on Friday, September 24, 2021.“The suspect, Josephine Panyin Mensah, 28, has confessed to the Police during further investigations and stated that neither was she pregnant nor ever being kidnapped.

The public will be updated with further details,” police added in the statement.Ladies and gentlemen, this Takoradi incident is coming at the back of the Ofosu Ampofo leaked tape.

The National Chairman of the NDC, Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, in the run up to the 2020 elections was caught on tape hatching an evil plot against the state. Per the voice on the tape, Samuel Ofosu Ampofo is allegedly heard talking about planning a road-map of criminal activities targeted at the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC) and the Chairman of the National Peace Council, among others.
Excepts: “People will start capturing their mothers and fathers and keeping them hostage till they show up”.The voice also stated, “The EC chair, we must wage a relentless war against her. We need to take her to the cleaners.”It is further heard saying, “We will go after them. We will not go after them face to face. We will target some people to make them feel their lives are in danger. We should also not spare the CSOs and religious groups. Especially the peace council chairman. For the first time, I will endorse insults”

Ladies and gentlemen of the media, isn’t it interesting to note that these occurrences are happening in a fashion akin to the directives contained in the Ofosu Ampofo tape? The Fixing The Country Movement is not unaware of the political machinations of the NDC and how they are desperate to plunge this country into chaos. It is quite clear that this is the handiwork of those who are desperate for power and will do and employ any tactic fair or foul to achieve their selfish ambition. And this their latest shenanigan has back fired.

As a matter of fact, we have been told by former NDC Flagbearer aspirant, Stephen Atubiga that the lady in the centre of this fraudulent hoax is a member of the NDC. Indeed, a careful reading of the history would point to the establishment of certain incontrovertible facts that underscored the culpability of the Mahama led NDC in this fake abduction/kidnapping story even before the conclusion of Police investigations. It was meant to cause dissatisfaction for the ruling regime and to incriminate the government for electoral advantage.

Ladies and gentlemen of the media, as a student of Cicero, Machiavelli, Plato and all the 16th century political philosophers, we believe in white and black propaganda as a tool for gaining electoral advantage. However, when the largest opposition party in the country become neck-deep in realist partisan political strategies, we ends up being in a state of political dystopia and zombie apocalypse.

Even when the woman herself finally finds her tongue and confess she was never pregnant, sections of the media still insisted she was pregnant. Indeed, the entire kidnap scenario looked too contrived and yet the NDC and its media collaborators were on rampage.It’s inevitable that media outlets will make mistakes on complex stories. If that’s being done in good faith, one will give them the benefit of the doubt in terms of the agenda served by the false stories. That is most definitely not the case here, and it is very disheartening.

This fake abduction story has once again highlighted another monstrous media failure in this country.The confession statement of this woman should be a lesson to unprincipled journalists and politicians in the NDC. To this end, we call on the Inspector General Of Police (IGP) to cast his investigative tentacles wider to ensure a criminal investigation process is activated in a prompt and impartial manner to fish out all the NDC politicians behind Josephine Panyin Mensah and her fake abduction, kidnapping and pregnancy story.
Criminal misdemeanour should be accorded the seriousness it deserves by allowing the criminal justice system to interpret and assess its social impact and apportion punishment as prescribed by law. The impression of impunity may encourage others to take the same route and it may ultimately lead to the destruction of the fabric of the State.Let the skeptics and cynics have their day. It is their right to remain skeptical and cynical about governance.

President Akufo-Addo will continue to fix the Country regardless. Thank you for your time.

(Signed)

Ernest Kofi Owusu Bempah
