Our manifesto: This is what YEN.com.gh believes in
The late former president, Jerry John Rawlings, has since the uprising on June 4, 1979, been synonymous with the day and its events.
The June 4th Revolution or June 4th Uprising was an uprising in Ghana in 1979 that arose out of a combination of corruption, bad governance, frustration among the general public, and lack of discipline and frustrations within the Ghanaian army.
Rawlings who is now late and therefore cannot be present to give his popular June 4 addresses has been remembered by many especially members of his party.

According to HE George Ayisi Boateng, the only way to win the fight is by shooting to kill those found on illegal mining sites.
“…They should…shoot to kill the recalcitrant ones who have defied the government’s order and constantly engaging in illegal mining,” the former High Commissioner stated on Okay FM's 'Ade Akye Abia' programme, monitored by YEN.com.gh.
