Audit Exposes GHS427m Payroll Scandal at Defence Ministry

A shocking audit report has uncovered a massive payroll scandal involving a senior government official who allegedly received over GHS427 million in unearned salaries over 29 months.

Millions Paid for No Work Done According to findings by the Auditor-General of Ghana, the payments were made between January 2023 and June 2025.

Ransford Gyampo Defends Reparations Comments, Backs Mahama’s UN Efforts

The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Shippers Authority, Ransford Gyampo, has pushed back against criticism over his recent comments on reparations.
