Pedri… #WeAreWatching

Hon Sammi Awuku @sammiawuku writes : Good Evening Ghana AN IMPORTANT QUESTION FOR PRESIDENT MAHAMA AND THE GHANA TOURISM AUTHORITY Section 4(1) of the Tourism Act, 2011 (Act 817) is unambiguous: the Chairperson of the Board of the Ghana Tourism Authority must come from the private sector. So, how does Ms. Gertrude Emefa Donkor, the Managing Director of GoldBod Jewellery, a state-owned institution, qualify as a private sector representative? This is not about personalities. It is about compliance with the law. If a person heads a public institution, exercises public authority and manages public resources on behalf of the state, can that person still be considered a private sector representative under the Tourism Act? That is the question Ghanaians deserve an answer to. Is there a shortage of qualified Ghanaians for these important national assignments? Why should multiple strategic appointments be concentrated in the hands of one individual when many capable professionals remain available to serve? This is particularly difficult to reconcile with the government’s own promises. We were told about a 24-hour economy and the 1:3:3 formula—one job, three people, three shifts to create more opportunities for more Ghanaians. Yet what we are witnessing appears to suggest the opposite: fewer opportunities being shared among more people and more appointments being concentrated among a select few. Are there no competent professionals within the tourism, hospitality, travel, events, and creative arts sectors who can chair the Board of the Ghana Tourism Authority? Are there no qualified NDC members still awaiting appointment? If indeed government prefers to appoint from within its own ranks? Article 70 gives the President the authority to appoint, but that authority must be exercised in accordance with the laws governing our public institutions. The Tourism Act did not simply require a Chairperson; it specifically required one from the private sector. Government may argue that the appointment to the Ghana Tourism Authority preceded Ms. Donkor’s appointment as Managing Director of GoldBod. But if circumstances have changed and she now heads a state institution, should the legal requirement not still be respected? Mr. President, we cannot claim to be strengthening institutions while appearing to overlook provisions deliberately enacted to protect and strengthen those same institutions. The Ministry of Tourism owes Ghanaians a clear explanation. Until then, this appointment raises more questions than answers. #TheStreetIsHot #TheBoysAndGirlsAreTalking #WeAreWatching #AndWeShallJudge

Are you all that fucking stupid? Palestine is under occupation. Since 1948, Palestinians have been violently displaced from their land, their homes destroyed, their families wiped out, and entire communities and towns erased while you weak, sold-out idiots watch. Mass death. Mass displacement. Collective punishment. Starvation. Torture. Rape. Organ harvesting. Child abduction. Unimaginable horror! Israel doesn't want a two-state solution. They want it all. Look up "Greater Israel." Israel will not stop! Your pathetic statement means nothing. Nearly three years into a genocide, illegal invasion of Iran, and the land grab of Lebanon, you are still offering empty words. The worst thing is, you know it. Your little statement means nothing apart from giving yourselves a "see, we tried" moment. Revolting. You are complicit in these atrocities, and you know it. History will remember who spoke out, who remained silent, and who enabled it. Your weasel words are insulting. Sanction and condemn Israel for crimes against humanity. #Palestine #Gaza #WeAreWatching #HumanRights #CeasefireNow #InternationalLaw

26 days. And still no good news. A 2-year-old who should be home. Students who should be in class. Teachers who should be at their desks. All still waiting for a government that promised to act and has yet to deliver. Don’t let this fade. Share. Tag. Trend. Keep the pressure on until those 46 people walk through their front doors. #BringBackOurOyoStudents #Day26 #OriireKidnapping #WeAreWatching #BringThemHome

#wearewatching Perfectly said.

Day 19. Still waiting. Still demanding answers. No rescue. No breakthrough. No good news for 46 families who have cried every single day since May 16th. Nigeria has a habit of forgetting. Of moving on. Of letting the noise die down until the next tragedy strikes. Not this time. Be the reason this stays alive. Share. Tag. Trend. Refuse to let Nigeria forget. Be the reason this stays alive. Share. Tag. Trend. Refuse to let Nigeria forget. #BringBackOurOyoStudents #Day19 #OriireKidnapping #WeAreWatching #BringThemHome

Alot of @AsanteKotoko_SC fans has received treat or insulted at for standing against bad treatment given to by @kurtokraku and his people and this the reward our beloved club is giving to it's fans....woow #WeAreWatching

Today marks exactly 16 days since armed bandits walked into three schools in Oriire and stole 46 lives in broad daylight. 16 days since a 2-year-old baby was torn from her classroom. 16 days since teachers who showed up faithfully to work were dragged into a forest. 16 days since families had a full night of sleep. And what has changed? Nothing. The politicians have given their speeches. The hashtags have trended and faded. The news has moved on to the next story. We owe them more than a post. But if a post is what keeps this alive then post. Tag Nigeria Police Force. Tag Gov. Seyi Makinde. Flood their comments. Make them uncomfortable. #BringBackOurOyoStudents #Day16 #OriireKidnapping #WeAreWatching #BringThemHome

Well, the "Diddy Bellevue House" strikes again. Kids with money, fancy cars, and a mansion for entertaining. No harm, right? Wrong. @bellevuewa - your code compliance department is understaffed we understand that, but why are they so lazy? Why are they telling residents this is a police matter? You have a 3–4 million dollar mansion being used for entertainment. They're literally selling tickets. That home and neighborhood is not zoned for this. DO YOUR JOB. This video is audio of all the chatter regarding the house overnight. If it's hard for you to listen to, which is understandable, here's the chatter that was documented. 5/29-5/30 5:37 pm - order violation reported at the party house, caller has a restraining order against his landlord, then said his landlord was driving away in a white Tesla 9:47 pm - disturbance reported at the “Bellevue Diddy House”, 16458 SE 44th Pl, several reports of a party, now landlord is calling in saying they think an argument is going on or a disturbance with intoxicated subjects, at least 50 people on site About 10:10 pm an officer said they needed to get tow trucks due to cars blocking the roadway and can barely get a patrol car through Then they requested 4-5 tow trucks and blocked more cars from arriving A dark colored PT Cruiser ignored an officer's commands multiple times, female drove around the lit-up patrol car, they stopped her further down the road and started doing field sobriety tests, she said she had some warrants too 10:33 pm - announcements made that if they don’t move their cars, they will be impounded 10:38 pm - first tow truck has arrived 10:40 pm - homeowner was walking towards the house and wanted to film what was going on, then they said it was the landlord… it’s still unclear who owns this house They were running plates on lots of vehicles 11:15 pm - sounded like subjects were running from the house and yelling 11:59 pm - a disturbance was reported back at the party house, now a physical fight with a person on the ground, at one point two people were on the ground, 10-15 people near the gate with 4 vehicles parked blocking the roadway, officers were headed back 12:00 am - physical fight has stopped, verbal only 1:26 am - a call came in for a 15-year-old female that snuck into the party house Neighbors reported hearing another fight around 2 am, but that was not on the scanner. Ramy, Von, Nikita, and everyone else... we don't give up. We will continue to dig and investigate if you continue to be a menace to our community. We. Are. Not. The. Ones. #Bellevue #BellevueWA #PartyHouse #NoAccountability #WasteOfResources #ContentHouse #Juveniles #RichKidProblems #Entitled #WeAreWatching #WeDontGiveUp #WeCanPlayThisGameToo

Hey Ramy and Von - we’re still paying attention. Location TBD… it’s in your best interest to stay out of Bellevue. Hilarious you used the word respect, you guys don’t respect anyone or anything. Also real funny that you say security strictly enforced when you have a high schooler from Hazen doing security. 😂 #Von #Ramy #BellevueWA #OutOfControl #Juveniles #PartyHouse #WeAreWatching

Spring Ball Week 2 Update 🚨 Compliance investigators have confirmed multiple cases of athletes changing schools DURING spring ball. At one stop, a player reportedly practiced for two teams in the same week. The Oklahoma transfer portal remains undefeated. #WeAreWatching

@SenLummis To your point: I have seen No public information regarding committee reconciliation meetings since the 14th. What they agree on. What needs to be worked out. And I clear timeline to do so, with deadlines. #keepworking #wearewatching #accountability #clarity

Serious question… If a head coach is pictured with a college DC while the assistant coach says they’re “in pursuit of a stud”… Which one is doing the recruiting? 🤔🍿 #ComplianceAlert #RecruitingSeason #WeAreWatching

Nobody talks about the Nigerians who are too tired to be angry anymore. Not the ones tweeting. Not the ones protesting. The ones who wake up at 5am, join a long fuel queue, get to work late, sit in darkness because there's no light, eat one meal to save money, come home exhausted and just… Lie down in silence. No fight left. No tears left. Just survival mode every single day. These are the people our leaders never see. These are the people our politics never reaches. These are the people this country has quietly broken. 💔 They deserve more than our silence. 🔁 RT for every quiet Nigerian who is suffering without making noise about it. #QuietNigeria #NigeriaHardship #WeAreWatching

🚨 SOMETHING DOESN'T SIT RIGHT HERE. 🤔 My Opinion 👇 After two full recounts in Glebe Farm & Tile Cross, The Workers Party of Britain won a seat. Reform took the other. Then, at the last moment, the counting authorities announce discrepancies in 50 something votes due to errors made by their own counting officials. And now, conveniently, the result is suspended until Monday. Let me be clear about what makes this suspicious. Out of every single ward across Birmingham City Council — This is the one seat the Workers Party was on course to win. The only one. And this is the one count where suddenly — after two full recounts — errors are discovered that need a third recount on Monday. The @WorkersPartyGB will be watching Monday's recount very closely. And so should every person in Birmingham who believes in free and fair elections. 🔍 We are watching. #GlebeFarm #TileCross #Birmingham #WorkersParty #ElectionCount #Transparency #WeAreWatching #BhamCityCouncil
