This week has been a feisty one as the Montie trio were jailed on Wednesday but it ended on a gloomy note with the passing of Ghana's outstanding High-life artiste, Daasebre Gyamenah.
Before all that, Finance Minister Seth Terpker presented a supplementary budget to parliament on Monday, and sought approval for Ȼ1.8 billion to support the budget after huge revenue shortfall.
Mr. Terkper touted progress in various sectors including education, health, agriculture and the economy.
Later on that day, a Lance Corporal with the Rapid Deployment Force (RDF) in Tema did the unthinkable when he allegedly murdered his children, his mother-in-law and committed suicide. Many wondered where his wife was at the time and what may have motivated the Lance Corporal to commit such a dastardly act. Well she showed up eventually and with explanation.

Wilfred Amuzu’s wife said she suspects some forces compelled her late husband to commit the crime.
On Tuesday, former Nkoranza North Member of Parliament, Eric Amoateng, heaved a sigh of relief after he was acquitted of charges of possessing forged documents.
In a twist of fate, his colleague former Member of Parliament Maxwell Kofi Jumah was fined 1,200 cedis by a Kumasi Circuit Court for causing unlawful damage to the electoral material.
Then on the much awaited Wednesday, July 27, the Supreme Court sentenced a presenter and two panelists on Montie FM to four months in prison and fined them 10,000 cedis each for threatening to kill judges.
The directors of the radio station were fined 30,000 and the owner of the frequency, Harry Zakuor was also fined 30,000.
