EC to Start Printing Ballot Papers on August 20 for Akwatia By-Election

The Electoral Commission (EC) has confirmed that printing of ballot papers for the upcoming Akwatia parliamentary by-election will commence on Wednesday, August 20, 2025. This was announced following a security-focused meeting convened by the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) with political party representatives to discuss preventive measures against electoral violence and key logistical arrangements. At the post-meeting briefing, EC’s Director of Electoral Services, Benjamin Bano-Bioh, stated: “As of now, we are going to start the printing of ballots from tomorrow... Procurement has already been done. We have procured all the materials required for the election.” The by-election has been necessitated by the passing of Akwatia’s Member of Parliament, Ernest Yaw Kumi, who represented the constituency under the New Patriotic Party (NPP) until his death in July 2025, creating a vacancy in Parliament. During the same meeting, the IGP assured political actors […]

Gov’t Disburses GH¢809M to Pokuase–Nsawam Highway Contractor

Ghana’s Controller and Accountant-General, Mr. Kwasi Agyei, has confirmed that the government has fully paid GH¢809 million to the contractor handling the Pokuase–Nsawam Highway project—Maripoma Enterprise Limited—allowing work to resume on this critical stretch. The payments were disbursed in stages, with the first tranche issued on July 24, followed by another on July 30, and the final installment on August 4, 2025—fully satisfying the contractual request. This confirmation brings relief to frustrated commuters who have endured prolonged delays and congestion. Significantly, the return of the contractor to the site coincides with the Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) suspending its planned strike. The union had threatened to halt services starting August 20 unless repairs began promptly. The government's timely settlement has thus helped avert transportation disruption and underscores its commitment to maintaining critical infrastructure and public confidence.

SEC Warns of Rising AI Fraud and Impersonation in Ghana

In a revealing move, Acting Deputy Director-General of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Mr. Mensah Thompson, has raised urgent concerns about the growing misuse of artificial intelligence (AI) in fraudulent schemes and impersonation across the country. His warning underscores the evolving challenges Ghana’s financial regulators face in safeguarding investors amid the rise of digitally enabled fraud. AI-Driven Fraud: A New Frontier Last month, the SEC issued a public alert drawing attention to a disturbing trend: fraudulent investment platforms are increasingly deploying AI to impersonate trusted public figures. These ploys often feature manipulated images and voice recordings to deceive unsuspecting investors, giving scammers a veneer of credibility. The fabricated endorsements tap into social media platforms, complicating efforts to trace perpetrators. Mr. Mensah Thompson echoed this urgency, emphasizing that such advancements in AI technology are quickly being weaponized. “AI-generated content can […]

Zelensky Leaves White House Unscathed, Buys Time

In a sharp contrast to his tumultuous visit earlier this year, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky departed the White House in high spirits—having navigated diplomatic sharp edges deftly and gained valuable time for Ukraine. A Cooler Reception This Time Around Unlike February’s contentious Oval Office showdown, this gathering had a notably more diplomatic tone. European leaders joined Zelensky at the White House to back his security push, reinforcing unity in the face of ongoing Russian aggression. Progress on Security Guarantees While President Donald Trump still ruled out a ceasefire, he signaled openness to offering Ukraine security guarantees—a shift welcomed by Zelensky and his European allies as a crucial strategic win. These could include U.S.-backed support or multi-nation assurances, even without a formal NATO membership. Europe’s Unified Front High-profile attendees—like French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, and UK Prime Minister […]

Where Did Waka Waka Royalties for Africa Go?

Fifteen years after the electrifying success of “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)”—the official anthem of the 2010 FIFA World Cup—questions are resurfacing about the fate of the royalties meant to benefit African charities. Despite its global smash—garnering over 4.3 billion views on YouTube and almost a billion Spotify streams—evidence of charitable distribution remains unclear. According to Freshlyground, the South African band that collaborated with Shakira on the track, clarity has been elusive. Co-founder Simon Attwell revealed that while the original agreement stated proceeds would aid African causes, the details of the charity beneficiaries have shifted over time from being chosen by artists to being allocated solely by Shakira, then handed over to FIFA’s “20 Centres for 2010” initiative. But here’s the twist—the “20 Centres for 2010” campaign reportedly concluded in 2014. That means royalties have continued flowing ever since, […]
