CID launches special task force to curb stolen vehicle influx

The Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service has launched a special intelligence-led task force to clamp down on vehicles stolen overseas and smuggled into Ghana, as part of a broader crackdown on organized transnational car theft syndicates. At a press briefing on August 4, 2025, CID Director-General COP Lydia Yaako Donkor underscored the urgency of the operation, revealing that criminal groups were routinely exploiting international car rental services—particularly in Canada—to rent luxury vehicles using fake or stolen identities, ship them abroad while the rental agreements remained valid, and then default on payments before cutting off contact with rental companies. So far, the task force has impounded six vehicles believed to have been rented fraudulently and shipped into Ghana. The seized models include four Toyota Tundras, one Toyota RAV4, and one Range Rover, all traced back to Canadian […]

Kevin Taylor faces GH¢2.95m defamation judgment enforcement

Kevin Taylor, the social media activist behind Loud Silence Media, is now facing enforcement of a GH¢2.95 million defamation judgment, after the Accra High Court granted lawyer Ace Anan Ankomah permission to use substituted service—a one-time page in the Daily Graphic—to serve notices related to the default verdict. The judgment stems from a 2020 ruling that Taylor made false allegations claiming that Ankomah was part of a clandestine plot involving a Dubai-based firm and top members of the NPP government to discredit Nana Appiah Mensah (NAM1), CEO of the Menzgold company. Taylor’s absence at multiple court proceedings left Justices no choice but to issue a default judgment, awarding a total of GH¢2.95 million against him and Loud Silence: GH¢2 million for general damages, GH¢500,000 aggravated, GH¢400,000 in special damages for reputation loss, and GH¢50,000 in legal costs. The court also […]

Vehicle prices in Ghana expected to fall in 2026

The Automobile Dealers Union of Ghana (ADUG) has forecast that vehicle prices may fall significantly by 2026, citing a combination of strong macroeconomic trends that suggest the current high pricing environment could ease before the end of next year. ADUG’s July 31 statement notes two key drivers: the Bank of Ghana’s historic 300‑basis‑point cut in the Monetary Policy Rate (MPR)—from 28% to 25%—which lowers borrowing costs, and a marked strengthening of the Ghanaian cedi against the US dollar, which reduces import expenses. These fundamentals have prompted cautious optimism among car dealers, even as they warn that current stock remains tied to past exchange‑rate levels, limiting near‑term price cuts. Why 2026—and not now? About 90% of vehicles in Ghana are imported second‑hand units, and most were acquired when the cedi was much weaker (often above GH¢18/USD). As a result, many dealers […]

UNICEF Ghana urges legal and systemic support for breastfeeding

UNICEF Ghana joined the global community in observing World Breastfeeding Week (1–7 August 2025)—this year themed “Breastfeeding: Building Systems for Lifelong Health”—issuing a renewed call for sustainable support frameworks and stronger legal protections to ensure mothers can initiate and continue breastfeeding safely. Exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months is globally recommended by UNICEF and WHO, yet in Ghana only 52.6% of infants under six months are exclusively breastfed, while 41.8% of newborns are not breastfed within the first hour of life. Nationally, the median duration of exclusive breastfeeding stands at just 2.9 months, far short of the six-month recommendation. These figures vary sharply by region: in the Western North Region the average is just one month, while in the Savannah Region it reaches only 4.9 months. UNICEF Ghana reaffirmed that progress remains fragile and inequitable. More than half of […]

NAP beneficiaries to receive monthly stipends under new Ghana programme

In a bold move to ease financial barriers and boost completion rates, the Minister for Youth Development and Empowerment, George Opare Addo, announced that all beneficiaries of Ghana’s newly launched National Apprenticeship Programme (NAP) will receive monthly stipends throughout their hands-on training. The announcement came during the Government Accountability Series held at Jubilee House on August 4, 2025, where Mr Opare Addo emphasized that the stipend is more than just a financial incentive—it is intended to ensure that “unpaid chores and transport costs do not force capable youth to drop out”. NAP: New Skills, Monthly Support and Real-World Impact Launched by President John Dramani Mahama on April 30, 2025, in Tamale, the NAP is targeting 10,000 trainees across all 261 districts in its first phase (graphic.com.gh). With a GH¢300 million budget allocation, the programme is designed to cover both the […]

Goaso Queen Mother Calls Assembly to Provide Bins

The Paramount Queen Mother of Goaso, Nana Afia Serwaa, has publicly appealed to the Asunafo North Municipal Assembly to urgently install refuse bins at strategic locations across the town, warning that Goaso’s lack of public waste containers is heightening unsanitary conditions in the Ahafo regional capital. During a community clean‑up initiative held by the Goaso Traditional Council and the Assembly—organized ahead of the funeral of Paramount Chief Nana Kwasi Bosomprah—Nana Serwaa expressed deep concern over the rising trend of indiscriminate littering. She described the situation as a public health hazard directly linked to the absence of rubbish receptacles at “vantage points” throughout the town In response, the Asunafo North Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), Joseph Akparibo, pledged that the Assembly would swiftly address the sanitation challenge. He stated that environmental health officers have received instructions to begin enforcement of local sanitation […]

Blood test triggers murder charge in immigration officer’s death

The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service, led by Director-General COP Lydia Yaako Donkor, has confirmed that Bright Aweh—also known as Robert or Highest Bright—is now facing a formal murder charge in the death of Immigration Officer Stephen King Amoah, following the results of a blood test on items recovered from his residence. The case against Aweh hinges on forensic evidence uncovered during police operations on July 24. Investigators found bloodstains in a living room, newly painted walls, and an empty spray-paint can, all suggesting an attempted cleanup; alongside that, a blood-soaked fufu pestle wrapped in polythene and bloodied camouflage fabric were recovered near Aweh’s home. Aweh’s vehicle was also impounded after officers detected traces of blood, which sent investigative teams for DNA matching. Amoah, aged 38, disappeared on the evening of July 3, 2025, after leaving […]

Ghana raises cocoa farmgate price to GH¢3,228.75/bag (~US$5,040/t)

The Government of Ghana has unveiled a major revision to the cocoa producer price for the 2025/2026 season, announcing a jump from US $3,100 to US $5,040 per tonne—a 62.58% increase—in dollar terms, effective August 7, 2025, ahead of the new crop season’s opening. At an exchange rate of approximately GH¢10.25 = US $1, the new rate translates to GH¢51,660 per tonne, or GH¢3,228.75 per 64 kg bag—up from GH¢3,100 using the previous peg of GH¢16/US $1—marking a 4% local-currency rise but a dramatic increase when measured in foreign earnings. The decision was taken by the Producer Price Review Committee, chaired by Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, following stakeholder consultations and technical review. The revision realigns Ghana with President John Mahama’s pledge to pay farmers at least 70% of the FOB (Free-On-Board) value, estimated at around US $7,200/tonne for […]

Ghana Approves rCOMSDEP to Reform Mining, Create Jobs

The Government of Ghana, under the leadership of President John Dramani Mahama, has launched a sweeping new initiative—the Responsible Cooperative Mining and Skills Development Programme (rCOMSDEP)—intended to reshape the artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) sector while creating sustainable employment opportunities. Approved by Cabinet on August 4, 2025, rCOMSDEP combines the existing Community Mining Scheme (CMS) and the National Alternative Employment and Livelihood Programme (NAELP) into a single, integrated framework to deliver far-reaching economic, environmental, and social benefits. At its core, rCOMSDEP seeks to establish regulated, community-owned mining cooperatives across Ghana. These cooperatives will receive legal concessions, professional training in geological surveying and mine safety, as well as access to shared processing centres compliant with international standards—including mercury-free gold recovery technologies and water treatment systems. Health and environmental risk mitigation is a central emphasis of the programme. A major push area is […]

The Central Regional Police Command has confirmed that 14 individuals have been arrested in connection with a recent chieftaincy dispute in Agona Abodom, with five victims of the violence treated and discharged from the hospital. The incident unfolded during the annual Akwanbo Festival when rival factions—fueled by the long-standing contest over the local stool—clashed in the farming community. According to Central Regional Deputy PRO Chief Inspector Isaac Entie, the police evacuated and provided medical care to five individuals who sustained injuries, all of whom have since been discharged. The suspects, including their alleged leader Akwesi Asare, were transferred to Accra to assist in investigations. This confrontation is linked to an earlier violent clash that left four people dead and dozens injured, with extensive property damage reported—including vandalism to two vehicles and the chief’s palace furnishings.
