Kevin-Prince Boateng to play for Milan
Genoa set to sign Portsmouth star Kevin-Prince Boateng and farm him out on loan to Milan - report
According to a report in Corriere dello Sport, Ghana international Kevin-Prince Boateng is close to joining Italian powerhouse Milan on a one-year loan deal. The Rossoneri won't have the option to make Boateng's stay permanent.
New Milan coach Massimilano Allegri is eager to add another midfielder to his squad this summer and he has supposedly made Boateng his primary target on the transfer market.
The 23-year-old midfielder is reportedly set to leave his current club, Portsmouth, for Serie A side Genoa and the Grifone are ready to farm the former Hertha Berlin star out on loan.
Boateng is expected to sign a four-year deal with Genoa in the near future before moving on to Milan on a temporary basis.
Boateng had also attracted the interest of Lazio and Newcastle United with his good performances at the 2010 World Cup, but Genoa's offer for the midfielder proved to be the most interesting one for Portsmouth.

Government rolls out plan for take-off of STX housing Projectater Resources, Works and Housing has rolled-out an elaborate plan to facilitate what sector Minister, Alban Bagbin, calls “a smooth take off of the STX Housing Project nationwide”. It comes just a week after Parliament approved three important agreements covering the project, namely: The Off-take Agreement between the Government of Ghana and STX Engineering and Construction Ghana Ltd., the Joint Venture Agreement between the Government of Ghana, STX Engineering and Construction Ghana Ltd. and Home Finance Company Ltd., as well as the Suppliers’ Credit Agreement between the Government of Ghana and STX Engineering and Construction Ghana Ltd. At a representative stakeholders’ meeting on Tuesday, August 10, 2010 “key decisions were taken on various aspects of the 1.5 billion dollar project, which will provide 30,000 Housing units for the nation’s security services countrywide.” For instance, the meeting approved a “detailed plan for the setting up of a special purpose company - which will be the Project Company in line with the STX Housing Agreement approved by Parliament on Tuesday August 3, 2010 - to execute the entire project.” A government statement released on Wednesday and signed by Honourable Alban Bagbin said, “the location of the sites of the houses and the number of housing units to be built on each designated site, were firmed-up”.

At a representative stakeholders’ meeting on Tuesday, August 10, 2010 “key decisions were taken on various aspects of the 1.5 billion dollar project, which will provide 30,000 Housing units for the nation’s security services countrywide.”
For instance, the meeting approved a “detailed plan for the setting up of a special purpose company - which will be the Project Company in line with the STX Housing Agreement approved by Parliament on Tuesday August 3, 2010 - to execute the entire project.”
A government statement released on Wednesday and signed by Honourable Alban Bagbin said, “the location of the sites of the houses and the number of housing units to be built on each designated site, were firmed-up”. The meeting also “discussed and validated” the designs and drawings of the houses submitted by the College of Architecture and Planning, consultants to STX Engineering and Construction Ghana Ltd.
“Having put these plans in place for the smooth take-off of the biggest ever housing project for our security personnel, who are in dire need of houses, it is my hope that the Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning will, within the shortest possible time, execute the Suppliers’ Credit Agreement between the Government of Ghana and STX
Engineering and Construction Ghana Ltd. for the project to begin.”
At the meeting, the College of Architecture and Engineering, consultants for STX Ghana presented a comprehensive plan of execution on the project.
“Per the plan of the consultants, the Tesano Police Training School will be the first to host the construction of the first 1,980 housing units to be built by STX Engineering and Construction Ghana Ltd.,” Hon Bagbin said.
“The Ministry has therefore started arrangements to move police personnel occupying old structures on the sites earmarked for the project to allow for smooth construction works to begin in the coming months.”
The meeting, which took place at the Ministry of Water Resources, Works and Housing was attended by representatives of STX Engineering and Construction Ghana Ltd., the Ghana Police Service, the Ghana Armed Forces, the Ghana Real Estates Developers Association (GREDA), Home Finance Company (HFC) Ltd, State Housing Company (SHC), and the Architecture and Engineering Services Ltd.

Wyclef Jean to Run for President.
Wyclef Jean to Run for
President of Haiti By Tim Padgett / Port-au-Prince UPDATED: 08/04/2010
Wyclef Jean, photographed in New
York City on Aug. 2, 2010 Hip-hop, more than most pop
genres, is something of a pulpit,
urban fire and brimstone garbed in
baggy pants and backward caps. So
it's little wonder that one of the
music form's icons, Haitian-American superstar Wyclef Jean, is the son of
a Nazarene preacher - or that he
likens himself, as a child of the
Haitian diaspora, to a modern-day
Moses, destined to return and lead
his people out of bondage. Haiti's Jan. 12 earthquake, which ravaged
the western hemisphere's poorest
country and killed more than
200,000 people, was the biblical
event that sealed his calling. After
days of helping ferry mangled Haitian corpses to morgues, Jean
felt as if he'd "finished the journey
from my basket in the bulrushes to
standing in front of the burning
bush," he told me this week. "I
knew I'd have to take the next step." That would be running for President
of Haiti. Jean told TIME he is going
to announce his candidacy for the
Nov. 28 election just days before
the Aug. 7 deadline. One plan that
was discussed, loaded with as much Mosaic symbolism as a news cycle
can hold, called for him to declare
his candidacy on Aug. 5 upon
arriving in Port-au-Prince from New
York City, where he grew up after
leaving Haiti with his family at age 9. "If not for the earthquake, I
probably would have waited another
10 years before doing this," Jean
says. "The quake drove home to
me that Haiti can't wait another 10
years for us to bring it into the 21st century." Jean sees no contradiction
between his life as an artist and his
ambitions as a politician. "If I can't
take five years out to serve my
country as President," he argues,
"then everything I've been singing about, like equal rights, doesn't
mean anything." It's tempting to dismiss this as flaky
performance art, a publicity stunt
from the same guy who just a few
years ago recorded a number called
"President" that included the refrain
"If I was President." But Jean's chances as well as his motives
seem solid. And there are good
reasons for Haitians - and the U.S.-
led international donor community,
which is bankrolling Haiti's long slog
to the 21st century - to take this particular hip-hop politician seriously.
Pop-culture celebrity hardly
disqualifies you from high office
today. (The last time I looked, an
action hero was still running
California.) And in Haiti, where half the population of about 9 million is
under age 25, it's an asset as
golden as a rapper's chains. Amid
Haiti's gray postquake rubble, Jean
is far more popular with that young
cohort than their chronically corrupt and inept mainstream politicians are,
and he'll likely galvanize youth
participation in the election

Accra, July 8, GNA - Former President John Agyekum Kufuor has launched a 'Toolkit' for the training of journalists and media practitioners in Africa with a call for the continued education of journalists and communicators to enable them to better inform their publics. He said the fast changing pace of events in the world called for constant upgrading of knowledge, especially, for people tasked with the responsibility to inform and educate the public.
A statement from his Spokesperson, Mr Frank Agyekum, said the launch of the toolkit formed part of activities at the ongoing 14th Annual Highway Africa Conference and the 2nd African Education Journalists and Journalists Trainers at Rhodes University in South Africa.
The Toolkit' titled: "Communication for Education and Development," has been developed over the past two years by the Association for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA), based in Cotonou, Benin. About 25 experts from across Africa worked on the 450-paged 'trainer of trainers' document meant to improve the standards of information sharing, reporting and advocacy in education on the continent It will help to develop and enhance professional skills of communication, public relations officers and media practitioners specializing in education and make them aware of how to complement one another in order to improve communication in Africa. The document will also provide trainers with the basics which will be the starting point for drawing up and organizing training in education as well as be a comprehensive source for the different target groups on global, regional, sub-regional treaties, legal instruments and national policy linkages and share best practices on education in Africa, among others. About 400 delegates including 10 Ghanaians are attending the conference under theme: 'African voices - In the Global Space,' at the four-day conference from 4th July to 7th July, 2010 Former President Kufuor said Information Communication Technology had made the world a truly global place.
"Newly emerging economic powers are probing all the time, finding ways not only to make their mark on the world scene, but even upstage the traditional powers as we have known them."
He said there was competition in all facets of life that posed an even greater challenge to professional journalists because today, information could be had just with the click of a button. Some of this information are even put out by people who a not professional journalists. He said for professional journalists to make their mark they needed to deepen their knowledge so that they could stand out from the crowd and become a more reliable and credible source of information. Former President Kufuor re-affirmed his belief in the freedom of the press but asked that this must be exercised with responsibility in order not to erode the benefits that are intended to be derived from it. "One of the first acts of my government was to repeal the criminal libel law which had been on our country's statute books since the colonial days. With the media freed we saw a phenomenal rise in the number of media houses that sprung up."
He expressed regret that not all of them exercised their mandate with the discretion that was required but added that he believed with time and proper education and the understanding of the immense responsibility that they carry the media would come around to be really appreciated as the Fourth Estate of the Realm.
Former President Kufuor was Special Guest at the opening of the conference and participated in panel discussion on "African Media and the Global Development Agenda." He was Guest of Honour at a dinner hosted by the ABSA bank for him. 08 July 10
