Hon. Charles Biney Arrives in Chicago for a Major Fundraiser.

Hon. Charles Biney moved to the US in 1979 and attended Manchester College in
Indiana. After completing his bachelor’s degree in Pre-Medicine and Biochemistry,
Hon Biney moved to Texas and enrolled at University of North Texas, where he
completed a Master’s degree in Biology with concentration in Molecular Biology and
Genetic Engineering.

Later, Charles was made a deacon of the All Nations Charismatic Ministry in Dallas,
and eventually was ordained a Minister of God.

Hon. Biney has always been concerned about environmental pollution, and speaks
against hazardous materials and gases. He is the president and CEO of Proedentek, an
environmental consultancy outfit in Ghana.

In 1979, after the sterling exploits of the Peoples’ Movement for Freedom and
Justice, his path crossed that of Nana Akufo-Addo, a pro-democracy advocate who
influenced Charles in no small measure.

In the early 1980’s, Hon. Biney teamed up with Akyaaba-Addae Sebo in the UK to fight
against JJ Rawlings’ brutality. Charles joined the Democratic Alliance of Ghana
(DAG) and linked up with Prof. Adu Boahen, Kwesi Pratt, and Akoto Ampaw and the
leadership of the Movement for Freedom and Justice (MFJ).

In the late 1980’s, Hon. Biney led night time pamphleteering and poster campaigns
against PNDC and JJ Rawlings, and was eventually arrested and detained at the
Central Police Station in Accra.

He worked tirelessly with subsequent pro-democracy movements until finally, under
the able leadership of Nana Akufo Addo, the Alliance for Change was able to
prosecute the struggle to its logical conclusion.

Hon. Biney continued to write and speak out against military dictatorship in Ghana,
and has been an icon in the democratic dispensation in Ghana.

Hon. Biney believes he can make a change and has given up his lucrative career in
USA to pursue the parliamentary seat of Ablekuma South (Dansoman, Mamprobi, Korle
Bu, Chokor, Korle Gonno and Agege). If you are concerned about hazardous waste in
Ghana support Charles!

If you are concerned about sanitation in Ghana support Charles!
Thinking about Sanitation, the World Bank says Ghana ranks at the bottom in Africa.

Please come and welcome Hon. Charles Biney to Chicago, at the Ramada Inn South Lake
Shore tomorrow Sunday Feb 13th at 2pm.
