The bailiff of the Koforidua High Court, on Tuesday, February 25, served a substituted order compelling Frank Annoh-Dompreh, the MP for Nsawam Adoagyiri, the Electoral Commission and Clerk of Parliament to appear before the Court in Koforidua.

They are compelled to hear the matter of an election petition by the National Democratic Congress over what they term as a wrong declaration done in honour of Annoh-Dompreh by the EC.

The case, brought by National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate Fummey Selorm Philibert and his legal team, challenges the Electoral Commission’s declaration of Annoh-Dompreh as the MP-elect for Nsawam Adoagyiri.

The places served include: the High Court, NPP office, Electoral Commission, the police station, the Main Lorry Station, Fawe FM, and Selected information centres

The next court date is scheduled for March 14, 2025.

On February 21, the Koforidua High Court granted an order for substituted service, directing that a writ of summons be served on the 1st respondent, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, through various public channels.

The order was issued after court bailiffs were unable to serve the Member of Parliament for Nsawam Adoagyiri with the court summons.

Despite a previous directive for all possible means to be used, neither Annoh-Dompreh nor officials of the Electoral Commission at the Nsawam Adoagyiri Constituency appeared in court on January 23, 2025.

The Arab Rugby Sevens Championship 2025, held on 14-15 February at the historic Alexandria Stadium in Egypt, marked a significant milestone for rugby in the Arab world and Africa, according to Rugby Africa President, Herbert Mensah.

This year’s tournament, the 10th men’s and 5th women’s edition, featured 12 men’s teams and 7 women’s teams from across the Arab region, showcasing the sport’s growing prominence.

Herbert Mensah who attended the event, highlighted its importance on the African continent and noted the strong African presence, with teams from Libya, Morocco, and Tunisia participating alongside Egypt, which recently achieved full membership in World Rugby.

The tournament received official sanctioning from World Rugby, with Rugby Africa as the recognised governing body.

He said the two-day event in Alexandria provided valuable competition time for African teams, featuring a mix of seasoned players and emerging talent.

He noted that the Saudi Arabian women’s team made history by participating without wearing hijabs, reflecting the sport’s inclusive progress.

Tunisia’s women’s team emerged victorious, demonstrating superior skill, while the men’s competition saw the United Arab Emirates clinch the title, with Morocco delivering commendable performances.

Herbert Mensah emphasised the significance of Egypt’s role in hosting the championship, noting the country’s substantial infrastructure and ambition to host future Olympic Games.

The successful organisation of the tournament, adhering to World Rugby standards—including comprehensive medical protocols and logistical management—shows Egypt’s capability to host international sporting events.

Looking ahead, Herbert Mensah advocated for Egypt to organise quarterly tournaments, fostering regional cooperation among nations such as Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria, and Libya.

This initiative aims to enhance the quality of rugby, provide more competitive opportunities, and position Egypt as a central hub for the sport in the region.

He said the Arab Rugby Sevens Championship 2025 not only celebrated athletic excellence but also symbolised the unifying power of sport, bridging cultural divides and promoting inclusivity across the Arab world and Africa.

Minister for Roads and Highways Kwame Governs Agbodza

Minister for Roads and Highways Kwame Governs Agbodza has disclosed Ghana is not currently ready to enter into a partnership with the private sector for the construction of Roads.

According to him, the strength of the country’s economy does not make it prudent for Public-Private Partnership (PPP) arrangements.

The Adaklu MP disclosed projects such as the expansion of the Tema Motorway and the Boankra Inland Port Projects approved by Parliament as Public Private Partnerships now have only the government funding them.

Contributing to a statement on PPP by MP for Ofoase Ayirebi, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, Agbodza disclosed that there is so much interest from the private sector in partnering with the government in executing projects.

He, however, indicated that ways to recover investments are missing from the PPP conversation.

The Ofoase-Ayirebi MP and former Works and Housing Minister Kojo Oppong Nkrumah however insists the best way to get projects executed in the country given dwindling funds of the state is through partnership with the private sector.

Pep Guardiola and his wife, Christina

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola and his wife Christina have commenced legal proceedings to officially divorce after 30 years of marriage.

According to Lorena Vazquez, a well-respected Spanish showbiz reporter, the couple are using the same lawyer to ensure that the issue is settled peacefully.

The journalist also indicated that, because of their children, both Guardiola and his wife are determined to resolve the case in the most amicable way possible.

“The divorce is being prepared conscientiously, and they have left it in the hands of people they really trust. What surprises me the most is that both of them have the same lawyer, who is arranging the whole thing.

“They want it to be amicable for the sake of their children. As you can imagine, money is not going to be an issue, and they are now agreeing on the initial terms to make sure this separation is as cordial as possible,” she said.

Lorena Vazquez noted that the reason Guardiola continues to wear his wedding ring is unknown, but it may signify that he is open to continuing the marriage if possible.

“It’s surprising he’s still wearing his wedding ring, and I wouldn’t be able to tell you if it’s a symbol he wants to carry on wearing as a homage to his marriage or as an open door to reconciliation, because what we’re being told is that he would perhaps be more open to that than his wife,'” she added.

Reports indicate that Guardiola’s decision to extend his contract with Manchester City contributed to the separation.

The Spanish coach met Cristina Serra in 1994, when he was 23 and she was 20. They married in 2014, but it is reported they have been together since 1994.

The couple have three children: Maria, 24; Marius, 22; and Valentina, 17.

Guardiola, who has had a difficult start to the 2024/2025 season, will likely focus on his managerial career and aim to revive Manchester City’s performance.
