Opinions of Monday, 20 September 2021Columnist: Amanda ClintonThe new entry rules for travelling into the U.K (that applied from July 26, 2021) and traveling into the United States (that will apply from November 2021) means that double vaccinated people who got vaccinated in the U.S, E.U, or the U.K can enter the U.K without quarantine. Therefore the rules appear to suggest that if you are British or Ghanaian etc. but double vaccinated elsewhere, that is outside the U.S, U.K, or E.U, the standard 10-day quarantine still applies as a blanket rule. If that is the case, should different rules apply depending on which country you got vaccinated in? U.S, U.K, and E.U representatives should shed more light on these new quarantine rules to be applied and clarify why such a distinction exists.

A Ghana Police Service statement signed by ACP Kwesi Ofori, Acting Director General for Public Affairs, said police were pursuing three persons believed to have been involved in the incident. “The police in Accra are seriously pursuing three persons for allegedly robbing a 33-year-old woman off GH¢29,000 today, Monday, September 20, 2021, at gunpoint at Apenkwa. “The victim escaped unhurt, however, a bystander sustained some injuries and is responding to treatment,” the statement added. GhanaWeb’s earlier report citing a UTV journalist who was at the scene said the robbery happened around the Achimota Old Station, which is a few meters from Apenkwa. The UTV report mentioned a loss of GH¢20,000, which the police have clarified to be GH¢9,000 more.

However, he questioned whether Psalm Adjeteyfio’s cry for help is a failure of the pension system in the country. “That being said, can we view TT’s cry for help as a failure of our pension system in the country? If so, the questions that comes to mind will be: Is TT receiving pension? “From my perspective, addressing TT’s cry for help is like trying to fix one pothole on a highway with thousands of potholes. “Therefore, this the time for policy makers to reflect on our current pension system and redesign it to meet current living conditions, and if possible, make it mandatory for all working citizens to contribute to a national pension scheme as it’s done in America with the social security system,” he said.

Recounting his fond memories of the female politician, he said the late politician was a pillar of late Prof. John Evans Atta-Mills’ victory in 2012.

He said the umbrella family should not write its history without the contributions of Benyiwa-Doe. Yes the NDC gave her enough wings to fly to higher heights”.
