NDC Accused of Seizing Lands & Mass Dismissals

Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, MP for Assin South and Ranking Member of Parliament’s Defence and Interior Committee, has laid out serious allegations against the ruling NDC. He accuses them of illegally seizing state lands and mass firing public sector workers—acts he warns erode public trust and fuel widespread discontent. Alleged State Land Grabs Former Defence Minister Dominic Nitiwul previously claimed that the NDC “has sold more state lands to private individuals than the NPP,” suggesting widespread cronyism and irregular transactions during past administration periods—all tied to the party’s entrenched practices. Fordjour builds on that narrative, warning that land sequestration under NDC rule isn’t a thing of the past—it’s continuing with impunity. Though he hasn't named specific sites, his broader charge positions the party at the center of a legacy of state land misuse. Mass Terminations at Play Alongside land grievances, […]

Dr Apea Defends Ato Essien Over GH¢90 M Capital Bank Loan

Dr John Apea, a respected figure at the Commonwealth’s human rights office, recently made waves by questioning the narrative around William Ato Essien—the founder of the now-defunct Capital Bank. According to Dr Apea, the controversial GH¢90 million wasn't stolen—it was a loan, and Essien was wrongly painted as a thief. What Dr Apea Is Saying He challenged the story that Essien misappropriated GH¢90 million. Instead, he says that figure refers to liquidity support disbursed by the Bank of Ghana—a loan the bank repaid diligently. Essien earned a finder’s fee of GH¢27.5 million, a standard arrangement for facilitating such loans—not illicit income. The bank continued paying monthly dues of GH¢14.4 million without default, even repaying over GH¢308 million before being closed. Dr Apea also points to a strange irony: the Managing Director of Capital Bank, who approved the fee payment, was acquitted, yet Essien was convicted for simply receiving it. How […]

ECG Sees Significant Revenue Growth

On July 16, 2025, Energy Minister John Jinapor brought encouraging news: ECG’s monthly revenue is up about 47.3% compared to the previous year. That’s a big lift—driven by billing reforms and stronger financial discipline. But Jinapor also reminded Ghanaians that while things are looking better, there’s still a long road ahead. Why It Matters Fair billing: ECG recently introduced the “Zeos” billing system, replacing a flawed one. This has helped them collect what’s truly owed. Trust in payments: A single Treasury account and a clean, predictable payments flow—called the cash-waterfall mechanism—means money finally goes where it should. Bright Numbers That 47.3% growth isn’t just hype—it shows concrete progress. In June alone, ECG pulled in GHS 1.6 billion—a solid year-on-year gain. A Cautious Tone Despite the good news, the Minister stressed that ECG still faces big debts and structural challenges. He urged innovation—like […]
