Isaac Adongo is calling for a national discourse on the Attorney-General’s discontinuation of the UniBank criminal case, questioning the decision to spend over GH₵30 billion when the problem appeared manageable. What We FoundMember of Parliament for Bolgatanga Central Isaac Adongo made his remarks on JoyNews Newsfile on July 26, 2025. He criticized the decision to discontinue prosecution of former Finance Minister Dr. Kwabena Duffuor and seven others after a nolle prosequi, stressing that Ghana spent more than GH₵30 billion to resolve banking sector issues that could have been handled with far less—about GH₵2 billion for a GH₵6.9 billion problem. He also emphasized the importance of public accountability and transparency given the magnitude of resources expended. Expert InsightObservers note that while the Attorney-General cited a 60% recovery of GH₵5.7 billion owed to the state as justification for discontinuation, Adongo views this as insufficient justification without broader public […]

Ato Forson: Akufo‑Addo Govt Mismanaged Devastating DDEP

Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, Ghana’s Finance Minister and Minority Leader, alleges that the Akufo‑Addo/Bawumia government mismanaged the Domestic Debt Exchange Programme (DDEP), creating a legacy of crippling debt, inflated advisory fees, and banking sector collapse. 🔍 What We Found Forson warned that Ghana inherited GHS 150.3 billion in domestic debt obligations under the DDEP, with repayments looming between 2027 and 2028 that significantly strain fiscal capacity. He described this fiscal burden as having devastating economic consequences. He also revealed that the DDEP eroded Ghanaian banks’ capital, hampering credit flow to businesses—a clear indicator of the programme’s destabilising financial impact. Forson accused the administration of awarding transaction advisory contracts worth over US$159 million to a select few, while national debt soared—suggesting systemic mismanagement and profiteering. Expert Insight Analysts highlight that strategic missteps in implementing DDEP inflicted long‑term damage on Ghana’s banking sector and credit availability. […]

Two Die in Car During Cyprus Wildfire as 44 °C Heat Hits

A devastating wildfire near Limassol, Cyprus, trapped two individuals in a car, killing them as extreme heat up to 44 °C fuelled the fast-spreading blaze. What We Found Police and fire officials reported that two charred bodies were discovered inside a burned-out car, believed to have been trapped in the flames that erupted Wednesday afternoon in the Malia/Souni region, about 100 km² burned in wine- and forest-rich terrain outside Limassol. At least 10 people were injured, two severely, and over 100 residents evacuated from 14 villages as the fire raged across multiple fronts. The fire coincided with a severe heatwave, with temperatures peaking at 43 °C and an amber alert forecast of 44 °C, creating “unprecedented” conditions that hampered firefighting efforts. Over 250 firefighters, 75 vehicles, and foreign air support from Spain, Jordan, Egypt, Israel, the UK, and Greece were deployed. Authorities suspect possible […]

Zelensky Announces New Draft Law to Restore Anti‑Corruption Agency Independence

Following widespread protests and international criticism over a law curbing the independence of Ukraine’s anti-corruption agencies, President Zelensky has announced a new draft bill designed to restore autonomy to NABU (National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine) and SAPO (Specialized Anti‑Corruption Prosecutor’s Office). What We Found On July 22, 2025, Ukraine’s parliament passed, and Zelensky signed into law, legislation that significantly increased the authority of the prosecutor general—an appointed ally—over NABU and SAPO, undermining their independence. This sparked the largest wartime protests since Russia’s invasion, with demonstrators across Kyiv, Lviv, Dnipro, and Odessa demanding the bill be vetoed. Thousands took to the streets with banners reading “We chose Europe, not autocracy,” warning that the law tilted Ukraine back toward authoritarianism and jeopardized EU aspirations. Local and international bodies—including Transparency International Ukraine and EU officials—criticized the reform as a major setback. In response, […]

White House Rejects WSJ Claim Trump Named in Epstein Files

The Wall Street Journal reports that Attorney General Pam Bondi informed President Trump in May that his name appears multiple times in Justice Department files related to Jeffrey Epstein—suggesting potential association. What We Found WSJ reported Trump was briefed in May by AG Pam Bondi that his name appeared among many high-profile individuals in Epstein-related DOJ files. The mention was described as "unverified hearsay".

UN: 6,000 Lorry Loads of Aid Ready for Gaza, Israel Must Allow Access

The United Nations says it has stacked up 6,000 lorry‑loads of aid supplies—enough to feed Gaza for two months—ready at border crossings and is urging Israel to allow access to distribute it to civilians in need. What We Found According to the UN and WFP, more than 140,000 tonnes of food—equivalent to about 6,000 truckloads—are assembled at crossings for entry into Gaza. This stockpile could feed the enclave’s population for two months if allowed. However, Israel continues to restrict access, causing a bottleneck and widespread shortages. As of 22 May 2025, only around 90 trucks had been allowed in post‑blockade, far short of daily needs. When allowed, aid moves slowly due to Israeli-imposed security checks and limited access routes. UN aid chiefs have warned that delaying approvals means UNRWA and WFP must rely on emergency interim systems, while malnutrition and […]

UNICEF Lauds Ghana’s $24 m Vaccine Payment

UNICEF has commended the Government of Ghana for completing its $24.5 million vaccine co‑financing obligation for 2025, describing the payment as vital for sustaining national immunisation efforts and protecting children’s health. What We Found UNICEF Representative Osama Makkawi Khogali confirmed Ghana fulfilled the 2025 vaccine co‑financing payment of $24.5 million, restoring the government's strong pre-pandemic track record. The payment ensures no vaccine stock-outs, protects herd immunity among children, and strengthens Ghana’s broader health system—making immunisation more sustainable as Gavi support phases down. UNICEF noted Ghana's past delays (since 2022) were due to COVID-related economic challenges, but acknowledged this full payment signals a renewed commitment to domestic vaccine funding. Expert Insight UNICEF described the payment as a strong demonstration of political resolve to prioritise child health and reduce vaccine-preventable diseases. As development aid wanes, Ghana's move aligns with its “Transition Roadmap: Towards Self-financing of […]
