PAC Orders Arrest of Ex-Energy Staff Over GH₵120k Bond

The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of Parliament has directed the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition to collaborate with the Foreign Affairs Ministry and the police to arrest Ms. Yaa Serwaa Gyan, a former staff member who allegedly absconded after benefitting from a fully paid study leave worth over GH₵120,000.

The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of Parliament has directed the Office of the Head of the Civil Service (OHCS) to refund GH¢175,000 within 30 days into the recovery accounts of the Auditor-General (AG).

Minority leader calls for end to political retaliation in Ghana

The Minority Leader in Parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has called on Ghana’s two dominant political parties—the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP)—to end the entrenched cycle of political retaliation, warning that it is undermining democratic stability and eroding public trust. Speaking on Joy FM’s Super Morning Show on Friday, May 2, 2025, the Effutu MP described the decades-long practice of political vengeance as a “vicious cycle” that yields no meaningful progress for the nation. “All we have as a country is our democracy,” he said. “Since 1992, we’ve witnessed cycles of retaliation in governance. But I believe the time has come for us to look beyond that and focus on legacies that safeguard our democratic future.” Mr Afenyo-Markin’s remarks come amid concerns over partisan interference in public institutions, including the judiciary and state-owned enterprises. He accused both […]
