The Daily Graphic banner story: “I’ll uphold Africa’s cause”, quotes, President Jerry Rawlings as saying African countries pursuing individual development agenda will fail unless there is a co-ordinated effort by all in that direction. The President, the paper says, promised to continue advocating for intra-Africa co-operation and will “champion this cause where ever he goes.” President Rawlings, who was hosting Ivorian President Konan Bedie through his ambassador Amon T. Emmanuel, said he stressed the need for support to end conflicts in Africa and de-mine Angola during his recent visit to the United States. He commended the Ivorian President for recently initiating a summit on the buruli ulcer scourge and his efforts towards Africa integration. In a centre page story, the Graphic reports that Constable Kwamena Quartey refuted in a Sunyani Court, the assertion by his wife that his step-son, Nathaniel Kojo Quartey died as a result of suitcases falling on him. “My wife is a liar”, says Quartey who said there had not been any quarrel between him and Rosemary, his wife as alleged by her, on the night before the incident. Rosemary has been charged for murdering Nathaniel when she used a hammer belonging to the husband to hit her step child several times on the head. Mr. P. K. Gyaeseyor is presiding over the case at Sunyani high court.
