A Ghanaian minister in the uk has been sacked...

 


KWASI KWARTENG



Kwarteng was born in London to Ghanaian immigrant parents and was educated at Eton College and Trinity College, Cambridge. He worked as a columnist for The Daily Telegraph and as a financial analyst before standing as an MP. In November 2018, Kwarteng was appointed Under-Secretary of State at the Department for Exiting the European Union. Following the election of Boris Johnson as Prime Minister in July 2019, Kwarteng was promoted to Minister of State for Business, Energy and Clean Growth, attending Cabinet as part of the role. In January 2021, Kwarteng was promoted to Business Secretary, becoming the first black person to serve as a Secretary of State.

RESIGN LETTER



Akwasi Addo Alfred Kwarteng (born 26 May 1975) is a British Conservative Party politician who has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for Spelthorne in northern Surrey since 2010. He was Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy from 2021 to 2022, before serving as Chancellor of the Exchequer under Liz Truss from September to October 2022

After Johnson resigned in 2022, Kwarteng supported Liz Truss's bid to become Conservative leader. Following Truss's appointment as Prime Minister, she appointed Kwarteng as Chancellor of the Exchequer. On 23 September, Kwarteng announced various tax cuts in a "mini-budget" that was widely criticised and which briefly caused sterling to fall to its lowest-ever level against the US dollar. Kwarteng was dismissed as Chancellor on 14 October after only 38 days. This made him the second shortest-serving post-war Chancellor. Only Iain Macleod served fewer days than Kwarteng but he died in office in 1970 rather than being dismissed by the prime minister. He was succeeded by Jeremy Hunt.

HOW TO STUDY EFFECTIVELY AT HOME. Numerous students can testify that studying at home during vacation or break is as difficult as a Greek puzzle.   However, one can successfully put the pieces together with a resolved mind. It is said that a way can be found where there is determination. I wish to share with you a few strategies to help you study at home. Firstly, let your "why" for studying be strong. Your greatest source of inspiration as a student is your desired future. Being passionate about your goals and purpose invokes a sense of responsibility in you and hence inspires you to get to work.

   Michelle Obama Calls Out Donald Trump on TikTok: "He's Wrong for the USA In a surprise move, former First Lady Michelle Obama took to TikTok today to share her thoughts on Donald Trump's presidency. And she didn't mince words. In a brief video posted on her official TikTok account, Obama stated unequivocally that Trump is "wrong for the USA." But she made it clear that she wasn't speaking out as a politician, but as a woman of color. "I'm not speaking out against Donald Trump because I'm a politician," Obama said. "I'm speaking out because I'm a woman of color, and I know what it's like to be marginalized and oppressed. I know what it's like to have my voice silenced and my rights ignored." Obama's comments come as no surprise to many, given her long history of advocating for women's rights, civil rights, and social justice. Trump's divisive rhetoric and policies, she argued, are antithetical to t
