Manasseh Azure Awuni: Why you can’t be Despite, despite your hard work
The Chairman of the Despite Group of Companies, Osei Kwame Despite, knows how to get tongues wagging. They share the videos and photos and praise him for his hard work and what he has been able to do with his life. The fact that Jeff Bezos is worth $183billion does not make Despite poor because Despite’s net worth may not be up to a billion. That was what Martin Luther King Jnr conveyed in his 1967 speech at the Barratt Junior High School in Philadelphia titled, “What is your life’s blueprint?” In that speech, he said:“If it falls your lot to be a street sweeper, sweep streets like Michelangelo painted pictures, sweep streets like Beethoven composed music, sweep streets like Leontyne Price sings before the Metropolitan Opera. Sweep streets like Shakespeare wrote poetry.

Don’t Look At Momo For Lost Taxes – Kwaku Azar Tells Govt
Prof Stephen Kwaku Asare, otherwise known as Kwaku Azar, has urged the government to look into tax avoidance, tax evasion and tax exemption for the lost taxes of the country and not Mobile Money (Momo). Kwaku Azar on his Facebook timeline wrote, “the problem is not that most Ghanafuo (Ghanaians) do not pay taxes. The problem is that most Ghanafuo who should be paying taxes are not doing so, unlawfully, and in some cases are even being exempted from doing so. But that is not a good reason to be looking there for our lost tax revenues. He added that the 1.75% tax is also to enhance financial inclusion and protect the vulnerable in the country.
