    Why can't the government of Ghana see how annoying the e-levy is? Where is the money from the IMF?

    Welcome to another edition of Another Perspective.  Kojo Mensah is looking at the e-levy that the government is pushing for Ghanaians to pay. He looks at the promises that the NPP made to the people of Ghana, and the promise they had the men to sustain the economy.  Are Ghanaians ready to pay the e-levy, or do they just find it annoying?

    The church and betting: Will the church reject money earned from betting because it preaches against that activity?

    In this episode, Kojo Mensah is looking at the Church and its persistent message against sports betting. With the church taking this stance, is it ready to reject every cedi or pesewa earned from betting?  What about other 'unsavoury' ways of earning, like bribery? Why does the church not reject tithes from these people?

    What's all the noise about Alban Bagbin's military guards? Why is it a big issue?

    Kojo Mensah talks about the issue that has recently risen about the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin's, military guards being withdrawn by the military command. Is it a big deal? Should the Speaker of Parliament even have a military guard? Is that not something that the Ghana police service can do?

    Is it democratic to train journalists at a chief's palace, where democracy isn't the strongest factor?

    Kojo Mensah talks about the recent scholarship given to 250 journalists to be trained on journalism.  The scholarship was launched by Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu, and the first of the forums was held at the Manhyia Palace.  Symbolically, does it make sense to hold a training forum for a group that is supposed to uphold democracy on the premises of an institution that is not known to support democracy?

    Ghana's 'fake prophesy' ban: Did God really give a prophecy about a fake place called Umofia

    COP26: After 26 Climate Change conferences, what have we achieved?

    Kojo Mensah takes a look at the United Nations Climate Change Conference, which is popularly known as COP, with the last conference named COP26. That was arguably one of the organisation's most popular climate change conference.  Kojo is asking what the previous COPs have achieved, and what it meant symbolically to host it in Glasgow, with its nuclear plant closing down after 46 years.  He also touches on the Western misdirected notion of indirectly referring to Africa as a country.  Listen to this episode, share and comment on whichever platform(s) you listen.

    When will Ghana's shambolic parliament grow up?

    Welcome to the first episode of Another Perspective.  Kojo Mensah takes a look at the eighth parliament in Ghana's fourth republic.  The parliament, on the night it was inaugurated, broke into a fight over the election of its speaker. Interestingly, to end its first year, the MPs fought, once again, over the government's proposed electronic transactions levy.  Do the politicians really care about Ghanaians? Do the MPs really know their mandate?
