NCA to Recover Fines from MultiChoice Ghana Over DStv Pricing Dispute

The Minister of Communications, Digital Technology and Innovation, Samuel Nartey George, has reaffirmed that the National Communications Authority (NCA) is fully empowered to recover fines imposed on MultiChoice Ghana for failing to comply with regulatory directives. At a press briefing, Mr. George disclosed that the pay-TV operator had delayed in submitting a detailed breakdown of its bouquet pricing structure. This delay triggered penalties of GH¢10,000 per day for 24 days, in line with the Electronic Communications Act. “The NCA still has the mandate to collect what is due—10,000 cedis a day, over 24 days—from MultiChoice for failing to provide the requested information within the stipulated time,” the Minister stated. The dispute stems from concerns over the cost of DStv subscriptions in Ghana and a suspension notice earlier issued to the company. On August 4, the NCA requested detailed cost build-up […]

Burkina Faso, Niger and Mali Are Building a New Rail for the Sahel’s Future

Burkina Faso, Niger and Mali are building a new rail that could change the future of transportation in the Sahel. More than just steel tracks, this project represents a bold vision of unity, development, and opportunity for three landlocked nations that have long faced challenges with connectivity. For decades, the Sahel has relied heavily on roads for trade and travel. These routes are often overburdened, expensive to maintain, and vulnerable to seasonal disruptions. A modern railway linking Ouagadougou, Niamey, and Bamako would ease these burdens while creating faster, safer, and more reliable ways to move goods and people. The economic benefits would be significant. Farmers in Mali could deliver fresh produce across borders without delay. Mining exports from Niger could reach ports and international markets faster, reducing costs and boosting revenue. Traders in Burkina Faso would gain smoother access to […]

Western Region Minister Vows Accountability in Ghana’s District Road Improvement

The Western Regional Minister, Hon. Joseph Nelson, has assured that the Western Regional Coordinating Council will ensure the proper use of equipment provided under the District Road Improvement Programme (DRIP). He gave the assurance during an orientation programme for District Coordinators from the Western, Western North, and Central regions, held in Takoradi. Nelson highlighted that good roads are essential for connecting communities, facilitating trade, and supporting social interaction. He stressed that the poor condition of many roads in the region has slowed development, making DRIP a crucial intervention.

This approach, he explained, would create thousands of jobs for the youth while ensuring that local expertise sustains the programme. Nelson also urged Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Chief Executives […]

Angela Rayner Resigns Over £800,000 Tax Row

Angela Rayner has resigned as deputy prime minister, housing secretary, and deputy Labour leader after admitting she failed to pay the correct amount of tax on her £800,000 flat in Hove. Her departure comes after the prime minister’s ethics adviser, Sir Laurie Magnus, concluded she had breached the ministerial code, despite acting “with integrity.” He said Rayner did seek legal advice during the purchase but failed to obtain specialist tax guidance, as recommended. In her resignation letter, Rayner said she accepted she “did not meet the highest standards,” adding: “I deeply regret my decision not to seek additional specialist advice given my role as housing secretary and my complex family arrangements. I take full responsibility for this error. It was never my intention to do anything other than pay the right amount.” The controversy stems from her purchase of the […]

Africa’s Youth and Startups Drive New Era of Growth

Africa’s business landscape is undergoing a transformation, led by young entrepreneurs who are redefining growth across agriculture, technology, and sustainability. From Dakar to Casablanca, the continent’s innovators are proving that Africa is not just adapting to global trends — it is setting them. Youth Lead Agricultural InnovationAt the Africa Food Systems Forum 2025 in Dakar, youth took center stage. The message was clear: Africa’s food future rests in the hands of its young farmers and innovators. With agriculture still employing the majority of Africans, youth are moving the sector beyond subsistence farming into a technology-driven engine of growth. Precision farming apps, access to digital finance, and climate-smart practices are reshaping the way smallholders produce food. “Smallholder farmers face barriers to finance, technology, and markets,” said Alvaro Lario, President of IFAD. “But when youth bring innovation into the picture, farming becomes […]

The Central African Republic is taking new steps to rebuild its armed forces after years of instability, collapse, and repeated crises.

Trump to rename Department of Defense as Department of War

US President Donald Trump is set to sign an executive order on Friday that will temporarily rename the Department of Defense as the Department of War, reviving a title last used more than seven decades ago. The text of the order, reviewed by the BBC, states that the purpose of the change is to “project strength and resolve.” According to the document, the new designation will initially serve as a secondary title while the administration works with Congress to secure approval for a permanent rebranding. Until then, official documents, communications, and branding will carry both names. The potential cost of such a sweeping rebrand remains unclear. The White House has not released estimates, but US media reports suggest the overhaul could cost taxpayers billions of dollars. The change would involve redesigning hundreds of agency seals and emblems, updating email systems, […]
