  A Deputy Mayor in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, Councilor Dr. Dominic Mbang has called on successful Ghanaians to make philanthropy a part of their lives. According to Councilor Mbang, who has been elected for the second time, it is imperative for people to give back to the communities they come from as a way of bringing development to the doorsteps of every community and village in Ghana. In what could be described as walking the talk, Councilor Mbang said he had to pull down the old dilapidated Kuka-Sulli Primary School which was constructed by the erstwhile Dr. Kwame Nkrumah's government and has since begun constructing a new one. That structure, he explained had become a death trap to pupils and teachers of the community and needed replacement, adding, his decision to rebuild the school was an act of philanthropy and has nothing to do with a desire to enter into politics. He was speaking in an interview with GBC news at Bugri Corner, a suburb of Bawku Municipality in t

  Gone are the days when the Sisaala enclave could boast of being the haven or a hub for the Northern cocoa Shea tree and the Dawa Dawa tree. The Shea nut processing into Shea butter has been a source of livelihood for many households in the Sisaala enclave and Upper West Region at large. The ugly menace of commercial charcoal burning or production in the Sissala enclave despite several measures put in place to stop it has seen no results.  Now, is the time we have to enact and gazette by-laws and strengthen their enforcement at the various District and Municipal levels to curb the voracious and indiscriminate felling of the Shea and dawadawa trees for commercial charcoal production.  One is usually greeted with heaps of charcoal burning sites on community travels especially during the dry season since there is no more economic work to engage in by community folks.  Sisaala West District has by all indications been seen as the World Bank for commercial charcoal production and hence ind
