The President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, is establishing ranches in some parts of the country, aimed at finding an amicable, lasting solution to the “Fulani herdsman” menace.<br />

<br />
According to the President, “everybody in this country has been very disturbed by the activities of ‘Fulani herdsmen’. We hear about the fights that have been going in different parts of the country Ashanti, Volta Region, Eastern Region. They are very disturbing. Therefore, finding a solution is one of the big concerns of my government.”<br />
<br />
President Akufo-Addo made this known on Wednesday 14th March, 2018, when a delegation from the National Council of Fulani Chiefs in Ghana paid a courtesy call on him at the Flagstaff House, in Accra.<br />
<br />
Making reference to the work undertaken by the 2nd President of the 4th Republic, His Excellency John Agyekum Kufuor, and his government, in resolving the issue of the herdsmen, President Akufo-Addo lamented the discontinuation of the work by successive governments.<br />
<br />
“But, we (NPP) are back, and we are determined to find a solution. We want to have a solution that will protect everybody, the herdsmen, their cattle and the communities in which they work. Because, if we do not have that understanding, having to work together becomes very difficult,” the President said.<br />
<br />
He, nonetheless, commended the Chiefs for their sense of responsibility, adding “you have shown yourselves to be Chiefs who are responsible for their people and their communities.”<br />
<br />
Continuing, President Akufo-Addo said he was “very encouraged by the offer of the taskforce, that we work together through your community and with the law enforcement agencies to make sure that anybody who wants to misbehave is appropriately dealt with as the law prescribes.”<br />
<br />
The President requested that some of the Chiefs from the Fulani National Council be made part of the Joint Committee, under the Ministry of Agriculture, that is seeing to the establishment of Kraals.<br />
<br />
“This will ensure that we are a co-operative that can go about making sure that, in future, we have peace,” he added.<br />
<br />
On his part, Alhaji Idriss, spokesperson for the Council of Fulani Chiefs, expressed gratitude to the President for the invitation, which, according to them, is the first time any President has met the Chiefs and leadership of Fulanis in Ghana, to deliberate on issues that affect the security of Ghana.<br />
<br />
He expressed worry about the loss of lives and properties in areas where there has been confrontations between Fulanis and the community.<br />
<br />
He said the “continued occurrence and re-occurrence of the confrontations between nomadic herdsmen and crop farmers and other crimes that has been associated with Fulani and the Fulani ethnic groupings is giving us sleepless nights. These activities have portrayed the Fulani in a very negative light, thus, making it look like the Fulani community is in conflict with Mother Ghana. We do not support these blatantly criminal activities”.<br />
<br />
He, however, appreciated the effort thus far by government to ensure peaceful co-existence with Fulanis.<br />
<br />
Concluding, the National Council of Fulani Chiefs pledged to co-operate with Government to ensure peaceful co-existence in Ghana.<br />

Former President John Mahama has said Vice-President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has brought embarrassment to President Nana Akufo-Addo vis-à-vis the $2.5million (GHS9.9million) GhanaPost GPS application which local IT firm Vokacom was contracted to develop for the country, since, in his view, the application already existed on all mobile phone.<br />

Speaking to a crowd of National Democratic Congress supporters after a Unity Walk in the Central Region on Sunday, 5 November, Mr Mahama, who lost the December 2016 elections, said even though he wanted to restrain himself from commenting on national issues so as to give the new government ample time to settle, he felt the Akufo-Addo government was frittering its goodwill period by making mistakes.<br />
<br />
“I’ll refrain from commenting on national issues because I think that when a new government comes into power, you give it a honeymoon so that it can settle in but unfortunately it looks like NPP is wasting away its honeymoon period with the mistakes that it is doing.<br />
<br />
“Otherwise, how can you launch a whopping GPS system that is freely available on our mobile phones and say it is the best national addressing system?” Mr Mahama wondered, adding: “It’s such a pity.”<br />
<br />
“Why would you embarrass the president so much?” he said.<br />
<br />
Prior to the launch of the application, Dr Bawumia has said: “It is more advanced than [those in] the United States or the United Kingdom or Germany because they are stuck to old technology and we are leap-frogging.”<br />
<br />
“We are going to a new technology; we are going to GPS-based technology”, Dr. Bawumia said on Wednesday, 4 October when he delivered a lecture titled: Developing Stronger Economies for the African Continent: the Missing Link’ at the 3rdAdvancement Lecture Series 2017 organised by the Institutional Advancement Office of the University of Cape Coast.<br />
<br />
The digital address system, he noted, has unique postcodes for every location in Ghana, adding that: “We have been able to put together 16.1 billion addresses: every five by five metres square apart in Ghana has a unique address.”<br />
<br />
Mr Mahama, however, told the crowd that President Akufo-Addo must hold somebody accountable for giving state funds away for something that already existed free of charge.<br />
<br />
“… And when you talk about accountability, this is where the president should show that he is serious about corruption. Somebody must account for GHC15 million given away free of charge.”<br />
<br />
Contrasting the digital addressing application issue with the bus branding corruption saga that happened during his tenure of office, Mr Mahama said, “When I was in office, there was a bus branding incident, GHC3.6 million, a minister of state resigned because of GHC3.6 million. When you come into office and you want to cover up, you can cover up. When things happen you just refuse to investigate them.<br />
<br />
“The toughness of the fight against corruption is that you are able to take action against your own people and that is what we did when we were in office. Here the NPP seems unable to take, the president seems unable to take self-action in anything,” Mr Mahama added.<br />
