ISSER Urges Government to Treat Waste Management as an Economic Growth Strategy

Experts from the University of Ghana’s Institute of Statistical, Social and Economic Research (ISSER) are calling on government to redefine waste management as an engine for economic growth, rather than treating it solely as a public health challenge. In a new policy paper titled “The High Cost of Improper Waste Management and Poor Sanitation on Ghana’s Economy,” the ISSER team argues that effective sanitation systems could generate billions in economic value, create new employment opportunities, and improve environmental outcomes. According to the report, every US$1 invested in sanitation could yield up to US$5.50 in economic returns, based on data from the World Health Organization (WHO). The researchers estimate that if Ghana were to dedicate just 1% of its GDP — approximately US$883 million — to sanitation and waste management, the country could generate as much as US$4.86 billion in overall […]

overnment to announce gun amnesty to curb proliferation of illicit arms

The Government of Ghana, through the Ministry of the Interior, is set to declare a Gun Amnesty Programme in the coming days to help reduce the growing number of illicit firearms and gun-related violence across the country. According to a statement from the National Commission on Small Arms and Light Weapons (NACSA), the amnesty will allow individuals in possession of unregistered or illegal firearms to surrender them without fear of arrest, interrogation, or prosecution. The initiative, being implemented in collaboration with the Ghana Police Service and other security agencies, aims to promote peace and security by removing illegal weapons from circulation. Executive Secretary of NACSA, Dr. Adam A. A. Bonaa, urged all Ghanaians to prepare to hand in any unregistered weapons once the amnesty is declared.

Chamber of Mines tightens supervision of miners’ safety as workplace injuries rise

The Ghana Chamber of Mines says it is tightening supervision of large-scale mining operations to ensure communities within their catchments are actively involved in safety initiatives. It follows the worrying increase in workplace injuries recorded at most mining companies across the country. The Chamber believes extending safety standards beyond the mine’s boundaries will reduce the scale of damage in the advent of disasters. Available data from the Chamber of Mines suggests a mixed picture of the mining sector’s safety performance in 2024. While there were gains in some areas, reportable injuries rose by six percent, with first aid cases climbing from 162 in 2023 to 172 last year. Severe injuries which led to more than 14 days of worker’s absence saw a sharp increase from 17 to 43. Conversely, fatalities dropped from seven to four within the same period, representing […]

The National Anti-Illegal Mining Operations Secretariat (NAIMOS) has intensified its nationwide crackdown on illegal mining, achieving another major success during an intelligence-led operation at Hiawa Koofrom in the Amenfi Central District of Ghana’s Western Region. The operation, conducted after credible intelligence was received from an informant, led to the arrest of three Chinese galamsey operators, the seizure of a pump action shotgun with four cartridges, and the impounding of two excavators used in destructive mining along the Ankobrah River. According to NAIMOS, the taskforce departed for the site around 0910 hours after receiving GPS coordinates pinpointing the illegal mining activity.

Afaglo Urges Mahama to Extend ORAL Mandate to Probe NPP Corruption Cases

A senior member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Novihoho Afaglo, has called on President John Dramani Mahama to extend the mandate of the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) task force to further investigate corruption cases linked to former officials of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration. Afaglo praised the joint work of ORAL and the Attorney-General’s Department, calling their partnership vital in exposing alleged financial irregularities and misuse of state resources meant for national development. He stated that without ORAL’s vigilance, “Nana Akufo-Addo’s appointees could have stolen millions from the state unnoticed.” According to him, ongoing investigations initiated under Mahama’s administration have already revealed “significant wrongdoing that cannot be ignored.” Afaglo stressed that the current wave of revelations should serve as a warning to all serving public officials, urging them to remember that their roles are meant to uplift […]

Firefighters rescue two after car plunges into ditch on Kwahu–Abetifi–Abene road

Firefighters from the Mpraeso Fire Station spent nearly six hours rescuing two men after their vehicle skidded off the Kwahu–Abetifi–Abene road and plunged into a deep ditch late Wednesday evening.
