GTEC orders UCC Vice-Chancellor to step aside

The Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) has directed Professor Johnson Nyarko Boampong, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cape Coast (UCC), to step aside for exceeding the mandatory retirement age. In a statement issued on September 19, 2025, GTEC announced the appointment of Professor Denis Worlanyo Aheto as acting Vice-Chancellor. The Commission explained that Prof. Boampong, who remains in office despite being over 60, is in violation of Article 199(1) of the 1992 Constitution. “Article 199(1) states that a public officer shall, except as otherwise provided in this Constitution, retire from the public service on attaining the age of sixty years,” GTEC noted. It added that the Vice-Chancellor’s role is considered part of the public service under the University of Cape Coast Act, 1992 (PNDCL 278), and must therefore comply with the retirement provision. The Commission also referenced Statute 8.2 of […]

Kantamanto Market boss denies leadership confusion

Kantamanto Market Coordinator Kakari Mensah has rejected claims of leadership confusion, stressing that the market functions under established rules and recognized leadership structures. During an interview on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem while visiting the market, Mensah clarified that no executives had secretly elected a new chairman, countering recent rumors. “The Kantamanto Market has leaders, and we have rules and regulations governing us. It is not true that some executives have colluded to elect a chairman. The market leaders are in charge of traders’ affairs,” he said. Mensah further explained that a disciplinary committee is in place to manage disputes and ensure order without violence. “If you flout the law, there is a disciplinary committee to handle the issue. We don’t fight in this market, and we don’t invoke curses,” he stressed. He assured both traders and the public that the […]

Gold Board CEO denies galamsey claims, backs anti-mining fight

Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), Sammy Gyamfi, has dismissed suggestions that the newly established body is promoting illegal mining, popularly known as galamsey. “Let me clear some misconceptions that GoldBod is promoting galamsey. And my simple question to them is: how can a five-month-old statutory corporation be responsible for an age-long problem?” he said on Joy FM’s Super Morning Show, during a discussion on the government’s fight against illegal mining. Mr. Gyamfi emphasized that galamsey existed long before GoldBod and had already reached alarming levels before the institution was set up. “Last year there was no GoldBod, but we saw widespread protests against galamsey because the problem had reached unprecedented levels. So how can you say that a corporation established barely five months ago is to blame?” he asked. He clarified that GoldBod’s legal mandate is […]

Gold Board CEO denies buying galamsey gold, pushes reforms

Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), Sammy Gyamfi, has rejected claims that the newly established institution is encouraging illegal mining by purchasing galamsey gold. “To create the impression that nobody was buying galamsey gold and all of a sudden GoldBod is now giving it a market is clearly wrong,” he said on Joy FM’s Super Morning Show during a discussion on the government’s fight against illegal mining. Mr. Gyamfi explained that GoldBod does not buy gold directly. Instead, licensed private buyers—based mainly in district and regional capitals—purchase gold brought to them. These buyers, he noted, have no technology to verify whether the gold was mined legally or illegally, a challenge that has existed since colonial times. “It is this five-month-old corporation called Gold Board that has now been given the mandate to find a solution to that […]

Fire razes 15-bedroom house, GH₵100k at Gomoa Dominase

A raging fire has destroyed a 15-bedroom house and cash amounting to GH₵100,000 at Gomoa Dominase in the Gomoa East District of the Central Region. The property, owned by the Abusuapayin of Gomoa Dominase, Nana Kweku Botwe, was completely consumed by the blaze along with several valuables. Speaking to Adom News, Nana Botwe expressed frustration that the tragedy could have been avoided if nearby fire stations in Winneba, Apam, and Swedru had functioning fire tenders. “We called all the fire stations, but they told us their machines have not been working for months. If they had responded on time, the house and money could have been saved,” he lamented. Patrick Abeka, the Assembly Member for Gomoa Dominase Electoral Area, has since appealed to government to urgently repair and re-equip the fire service vehicles in the three towns. “This is not […]

Mampong MCE hails NDC on galamsey fight progress

The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Mampong in the Ashanti Region, Yakubu Issifu, has commended the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government for its early steps in addressing illegal mining, widely known as galamsey. Speaking on Nhyira FM’s morning show, Mr. Issifu argued that it is too early to criticize the government after only nine months in office. He stressed that some water bodies in the Ashanti Region have already shown signs of recovery under the NDC administration. “Some of our water bodies have regained their natural state in just a few months,” he said, urging patience and support for the government’s policies. Touching on Mampong’s local situation, the MCE recalled that the late Mamponghene had banned galamsey in the area despite its rich gold deposits. He emphasized that the fight against illegal mining cannot succeed without the active involvement of […]
