A startling disclosure by Alexander Afenyo-Markin has ignited public debate after he revealed that Ken Ofori-Atta gave him $5 million without any signed agreement. The statement, as brief as it was bold, raises significant questions about governance, transparency, and the role of trust in public financial dealings.

If accurate, the claim suggests a transaction rooted entirely in personal or institutional confidence rather than written safeguards. In the private sector, large sums sometimes move on the strength of relationships and…

Prolonged exposure to elevated heat can negatively affect sperm production, reduce sperm count, and impair sperm motility (movement). Over time, this may contribute to fertility challenges, especially…
