Driver’s Mate With No Training Caused Fire – NPA Interim Report
The National Petroleum Authority (NPA) has released an interim report about the October 7 gas explosion. According to report, the explosion happened after a driver’s mate with no training in handling LPG was given the task of discharging the highly inflammable substance at a station.
However, the driver’s mate took to his heels after he failed to stop the gas from leaking at the gas station at Madina Atomic Junction in Accra.
This failure to stop the gas from leaking, allowed the gas to spread which led to the tragic explosion that has left seven dead in Ghana’s eighth gas explosion in the past three years.
Kweku Baako read the 8-page preliminary report on Newsfile on Joy News channel on Multi TV. The contents were corroborated by NPA Chief Executive Hassan Tampuli who called into the show to make a submission.
He explained that a driver with the LPG Truck Drivers and Installers Association parked the gas tanker at the Atomic Junction premises of the gas station. For reasons yet to be explained, the driver “moved away and left the exercise of discharging the gas in hands of the mate.”
After encountering challenges with the discharge, the mate whose name is undisclosed, immediately took to his heels.
Hassan Tampuli said the gas-charging truck was not among the recognised Oil Marketing Companies.
What this means is that, the gas station went against the standard operating procedure by engaging a third party without special clearance from the NPA. The revelations could fuel calls for the operators of the gas station to be sued in the wake of accusations of negligence.
Sexual Harassment In The Movie Industry Is Real – Lydia Forson
Award-winning actress, Lydia Forson has spoken about the sexual advances and power play that goes on behind the scenes in the movie industry. She spoke about how as a young and upcoming actress, she was once accosted by a producer. She said the producer demanded to see her breasts during an audition in order to get a role.
She made these statements during an interview on BBC. She said, “Earlier in my career just once, small-time producer who asked to see my breast for a role I was auditioning for and I said no, and walked out.”
Forson’s views were sought in the wake of the sexual scandal involving Harvey Weinstein, heavyweight Hollywood producer. He faces accusations from an increasing number of actresses, younger associates and interns.
Lydia Forson said she stormed out when the producer made that demand on her body. She continued by saying that sexual harassments are common in other professions; and many women face unrequited sexual advances from men in powerful positions.
She stated, “It’s unfortunate that it’s very common but it cuts across everywhere. Women are subjected to unwanted sexual advances from men in powerful positions especially who want to take advantage of their vulnerability. Especially in Africa where there’s a lot of poverty and people are looking for jobs, they know how to feed on peoples desperation.”
Additionally, she spoke about an experience a young lady shared with her about harassment.
“Just last week, an actress walked up to me and said she’s been trying to break up into the industry for several years but every producer wants to sleep with her and they named dropped some big actresses that they slept with before giving them roles. They threaten them, blackball them in the industry if they refuse to cooperate.”
She ended by saying that the abuse in the industry has to end. However, the people who speak up about the abuse are the ones with the means to stop them.

This is our way of remembering them and their wonderful portrayals of the characters they played. This is from the ones who are no longer actively in the movie industry to those who are no longer with us.
Pascaline Edwards
The movie that shot her to fame was ‘A Stab In The Dark’ and the subsequent sequels. Her portrayal as Effe was mesmerising. I remember watching her and feeling that I was watching someone who truly knew her craft. She went on to star in several movies like A Stab in the Dark, Forbidden Fruit, The Mask, House Arrest, My Father’s Wife, Messages, Deadline for Asante, Without Her Consent, and Jewels.
Edinam Atatsi

Popularly known as Maame Dokono (after she played a character as a kenkey seller), she moved on to feature in several Ghanaian movies both Akan and English.

The late Suzzy Williams was popular and good or bad; she had an impact on the movie industry. Even though the reason she is no longer on with the living. Sometimes, we wonder what her career would have been like. This is because she got signed to a South African company sometime before her death.
