We Declare Paul Adom-Otchere An Enemy – Says Asogli State Council
Paul Adom-Otchere, the host of Good Evening Ghana on Metro TV, has been declared an enemy of the Asogli State. "The Asogli State is a respected Traditional Area and will not allow evil-hearted people like the kind of Paul Adom-Otchere to denigrate our KING and the “Rising Star of this country. "We are therefore declaring Paul Adom-Otchere, as a result of his recalcitrant behaviour, an enemy to Asogli State,” the statement read in parts. The Asogli State Council, further expressed their displeasure with the Council of State, for not releasing records of the Council meeting to them, despite having done the same to Paul Adom-Otchere, to aid in his 'touchscreen' analysis about Togbe Afede XIV attendance during the Council of State meetings. This shows that the Council of State is biased and wants to tarnish the high-earned reputation of Togbe Afede XIV”, the Council stressed.

Ghana: Tuobodom tomato farmers faced with low sales
Tomato farmers in Tuobodom in the Techiman North district of the Bono East Region are faced with low sales. Harvested tomatoes are going to waste as the farmers wait impatiently by the roadside for prospective buyers.

One affected farmer said that if the current situation persists, they will be unable to repay their loans and appealed to buyers to visit Tuobodom to purchase fresh and quality tomatoes.
