One of Ghana's top local comedians Samuel Kwadwo Buabeng aka Bob Okala has passed away, Starrfmonline.com can confirm. Okala, a veteran comedian who was a pioneer of the popular Key Soap Concert Party in the 90s, collapsed on state while performing at a programme organised by Joy Industries at Koforidua Jackson Park on Saturday. The spokesperson and Managing Editor of Dady Media Solomon Nuwodu confirmed the news to Starrfmonline.com. According to him, 'Bishop' Okala, as he was affectionately called, has been part of the Joy Industries' programmes over the years, but he was never invited for this Saturday's event due to ill-health. "Okala pleaded to perform briefly but he realised he couldn't continue and the bouncers had to come on stage to hold him because he began to lose stamina," Nuwodu said. He was confirmed dead at the hospital Sunday dawn. He died at age 59. Source: Ghana/starrfmonline.

Staff of the Information Service Department say they played no role in the production of an error-ridden Independence Day brochure, which has embarrassed government. They are angry for being made to take the blame for the errors that included addressing the Kenyan President, Uhuru Kenyatta as President of the Republic of Ghana. Hooting, shouting, and chanting minutes before a press conference, the workers say they cannot accept responsibility for the errors. This sharply contradicts that of the department�s acting director Francis Kwarteng Arthur who issued an apology Monday for what he called "misrepresentations." Angered by the decision, the workers abandoned work Tuesday and were engaged in a meeting with management and their Director. �ISD was not involved in the printing. We don�t know anything about it. We don�t know how it was printed�.so whoever did the job must come out to apologise�. �We cannot apologise for what we didn�t do� a female staff screamed at Joy News� Ma...

The Medical Superintendent of the Hospital, Dr. Owusu Fosu told Adom FM reporter Wiafe Akenteng the bodies were going bad. Inadequate space in a mortuary with a capacity of 15 persons, weak refrigeration system, low voltage and the resultant stench has forced the Hospital to arrive at this decision. Last Friday, the Hospital met with the District Assembly authorities and security agencies regarding their plan to carry out the mass burial. Earlier, bereaved families had begun moving to various mortuaries in the Brong Ahafo Region to find deceased family members. Wiafe Akenteng, reports that, as at Thursday most families were unable to convey the bodies of their identified relations, as it was late in the night to complete the necessary paperwork. The road carnage claimed 63 lives. Source: sunc...
