Cedi Weakens, Now GH¢17.10 to the Dollar

The Ghanaian cedi has continued its decline, now trading at GH¢17.10 to the US dollar, marking a significant year-to-date loss of nearly 29%.

Ghana Prepares for Election 2024 with New AI-Focused Media Watch App to Counter Fake News.

This initiative addresses fears around artificial intelligence (AI) being used to create fake media, such as cloning election officials to falsely declare results. The Cyber Security Authority (CSA) warned of possible hacking risks, urging the Electoral Commission (EC) to fortify its IT systems. Dr. Eric Bossman Asare, Deputy EC Chairman, emphasized the Commission's largely manual vote-counting process to maintain transparency and reduce cyber threats.
