Minority in Parliament Demands Payment of Outstanding Salaries for Nurses and Midwives

The Minority in Parliament has urged the government to immediately release funds for the payment of salaries owed to nurses and midwives, insisting that financial provisions for the payments were already approved. At a press conference, the Minority accused the government of politicizing public administration and misleading the public about the delays.

Francis Adenyo Calls for Responsible and Sustainable Mining Practices in Ghana

A respected voice in Ghana’s small-scale mining sector, Francis Adenyo, has called on miners to adopt responsible and environmentally friendly mining practices to safeguard the future of the industry. He emphasized that miners should make land reclamation a central part of their operations and actively monitor nearby mining sites to prevent environmental degradation. According to Mr. Adenyo, these actions are essential for reducing the environmental impact of mining while promoting sustainable development within mining communities. Reacting to proposals for a national state of emergency to tackle illegal mining, he disagreed with the idea, describing it as counterproductive. Instead, he called for stronger monitoring systems and targeted enforcement to distinguish between illegal miners and legitimate operators. “What we need is stronger oversight and effective enforcement, not sweeping measures that may harm those who are working within the law,” he said. Mr. […]
