Press Release
AFAG
October 30, 2014
NATIONAL SANITATION
DAY: LAUDABLE
Cleanliness they say is next to Godliness.
The Alliance for Accountable Governance (AFAG)
over the past few months have been concern
about the frequent outbreak of Cholera and
other health related issues of public health
significance.
There is no doubt that, our attitude as a
people has contributed to the frequency and
persistence of these health hazards plaguing
various communities in the country. What we
need is behavioral change through education
and the willingness to put this knowledge
into action.
Death has no boundary. It has no respect for
color, tribe, religion or political
affiliation. However, when it strikes, we
can recognize the pain and irreplaceable
lost of a dear one.
It is in this light that, AFAG deem fit the
introduction of the National Sanitation Day
by the ministry of local government. We
support the kick off, of the maiden edition
on Saturday the 1st of November. It is a
laudable initiative and we urge all and
sundry to participate. It's our hope that,
other Civil Society can show support for
this programme in the best interest of the
public.
AFAG commends the Ministry for such a
positive initiative. Hope it is not
politicized.
Let us join hands by cleaning our environs
because health is key to happy living.
Signed:
AFAG Leadership

WE ARE ON THE SIDE OF
GHANAIAN WORKERS
Release,
Oct 29, Ghanadot - For the avoidance of doubt,
the National Pensions Act 2008 (Act 766) clearly
describes the second tier pension scheme as a
mandatory fully funded and privately managed
occupational pension scheme. Thus, we members of
this coalition regard the seeming interference by
government as not only undermining the spirit of the
pensions Act but also marks a clear breach of the
Act and should therefore not be countenanced in the
slightest sense by all well meaning Ghanaians........More
