127 Spelling Mistakes and 33 Grammatical Errors Found in NDC’s Newly Launched Manifesto Including President Matamata—Will Someone Be Sacked For This?

The NPP has accused the NDC on multiple platforms of stealing their ideas–the reason why the former has been reluctant to launch its manifesto so that the latter does not get the freeway to plagiarise it.
With NPP’s manifesto not coming, the NDC has been forced to put together something which they’ve launched today at Sunyani in the Brong Ahafo Region in a hot scorching sun.
According to a quick glance through by the guys are FACT CHECK who are even working with minimal staff this week, 127 spelling mistakes and 33 grammatical errors have so far been spotted. 
Apparently, Vice President Amissah-Arthur’s name was spelt several times wrong and on page 4, President Mahama’s name was spelt as President Matamata.
It’s still unclear how many mistakes are in there–and whether someone will be sacked for this.
But then, the person who did the job would have a good defence that–the main manifesto he copies from all the time was not around so he had to do extra work this time

Police alerts public on latest brand of scam

The Ghana Police Service has called on the public to be cautioned of the latest brand of scan perpetrated by criminals.
In a statement issued in Accra by the Director of Public Affairs, Cephas Arthur, he said scammers are now operating under the guise of the police where they create accident scenarios to draw in unsuspecting members of the public.
According to the Statement, victims receive a surprise call to the effect that some supposed relation of theirs has hit the rear of a police vehicle, and that the occupant police officer(s) is/are demanding money instantly through a given mobile money transfer line, to drop the matter.
The punch line is when the scammers add that the failure to do the transfer, the officer will threaten to process the suspect for court. The Statement said when the said money is paid, the case is dropped and the scam would have been completed.
The Service is therefore advising the public to be wary of this recent scam and also desist from the temptation of having to pay money to save one’s relations.
It further advised the public to report all such incidents immediately to the Police or call Police hotlines MTN and Vodafone 18555 or 191 on all networks for prompt action.
