Severe Food Shortages Lead to Repetitive Meals in Ghana’s Senior High Schools.

Senior High Schools (SHS) in Ghana are facing a serious food shortage, forcing students to eat the same meals multiple times daily. Since August 16, 2024, schools have been struggling to access funds, which has led them to buy essential perishables like tomatoes, onions, and fish on credit. Yet, items like ginger, sausages, and cooking salt remain difficult to obtain due to mounting debts.Salamatu Braimah, National Chairman of the Teachers and Educational Workers Union (TEWU), expressed concern over the lack of meal variety, with some schools providing rice for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The shortage has also affected other staple foods like maize, leading to monotonous diets that worry both students and staff.The ongoing crisis echoes a similar shortage reported in March 2024, where a documentary by JoyNews highlighted the challenges SHSs face under the Free SHS policy.

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%. This depreciation is intensifying concerns over rising inflation and the cost of living as import costs and essential goods prices surge. Experts attribute the cedi’s sustained weakening to several factors, including high demand for foreign currency to support imports, reduced foreign exchange inflows, and ongoing economic challenges. The depreciation pressures the Bank of Ghana, which has intervened in the past by injecting dollars into the forex market, though this approach has seen limited success in stabilizing the currency. Businesses and consumers alike are feeling the impact, with imported goods becoming more expensive. Many companies are adjusting prices upwards, which could drive inflation even higher. The cedi’s depreciation is a critical issue ahead of the December elections, as […]

Security Expert Opposes Military Presence at Polling Stations.

Security analyst Dr. Adam Bonaa has spoken out against the deployment of military personnel at polling stations during Ghana’s upcoming December 7 elections, arguing that their presence could potentially undermine the fairness of the electoral process. Speaking at a democracy lecture in Accra, Dr. Bonaa suggested that stationing soldiers near polling areas might be interpreted as an attempt to intimidate voters, which could be "tantamount to stealing the elections." He emphasized that the police, who are already equipped and trained for election-related duties, should be the primary force handling security at these venues.Dr. Bonaa urged authorities to strengthen existing institutions, arguing that the military should only be deployed in extreme situations, such as during a state of emergency, rather than standard electoral activities. His comments were part of a broader discussion on Ghana’s security protocols for the elections, organized by […]

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

As Ghana approaches its December 7 general election, the National Media Commission (NMC) has launched the "Media Watch" app to combat misinformation. The app allows citizens to report suspected fake news, which the NMC will then verify and take action on if necessary. 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. The NMC and CSA are collaborating to ensure credible information flows and to provide educational initiatives to help citizens recognize fake news.
