Chairman Wontumi Remains in Custody Despite Meeting Bail Conditions

Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi and the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), continues to be held in custody by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) despite meeting stringent bail conditions. A new legal application has emerged, preventing his immediate release. BackgroundChairman Wontumi was arrested on May 27, 2025, by EOCO on allegations of fraud, money laundering, and other financial crimes. He was granted bail set at GH₵50 million, requiring two justified sureties. Initially, his legal team struggled to meet these conditions, securing only one surety until May 30.

Bawumia Dismisses NDC’s Claim Over Cedi Gains

Former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has challenged the National Democratic Congress (NDC)'s assertion that their policies have led to the recent appreciation of the Ghanaian cedi. Speaking at the Young Executive Forum in London, Dr. Bawumia emphasized that the NDC has not implemented any concrete policies to influence the currency's performance. Bawumia's Perspective Dr. Bawumia highlighted that the NDC's budget was only passed in March, with no significant expenditures or projects initiated that could impact the cedi's value. He attributed the currency's gains to strategic initiatives undertaken during his tenure, notably the gold purchase program, which increased Ghana's gold reserves from 8.7 tons to 30 tons over two years. This accumulation provided a substantial backing for the cedi, enhancing investor confidence. NDC's Counterpoint In contrast, Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson credited the cedi's appreciation to synchronized fiscal and […]

Mahama’s Government Shows Promise but Faces Looming Challenges – Experts

President John Dramani Mahama's return to Ghana's highest office has been met with both optimism and caution. While his administration has initiated several reforms and fulfilled a significant portion of its early promises, experts highlight persistent challenges that could impede sustained progress. In his first 120 days, President Mahama claims to have fulfilled 72% of his pledges, including the launch of a code of conduct for government officials and the initiation of investigations into unresolved murders and financial scandals . These actions underscore a commitment to transparency and accountability. However, analysts point out that some of these achievements may be overstated, noting that systemic issues like corruption and bureaucratic inertia remain deeply entrenched . The administration's economic reforms, while ambitious, are still in their infancy and face execution challenges, particularly in creating sustainable job opportunities . Furthermore, Ghana's economy, though […]

Kwakye Ofosu: Presidency Restructuring Saves Ghana Over GH₵400 Million

In a recent statement, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, Ghana's Minister of State in charge of Government Communications, announced that the government's restructuring of the presidency has resulted in savings exceeding GH₵400 million.

He also addressed and refuted claims that his office had been allocated GH₵78 million, clarifying that the mentioned funds were designated for operational budgets of agencies such as the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC), […]

Bawumia: NDC Had No Campaign Message, Only Used NPP’s Internal Criticisms in 2024 Elections

Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, a key figure in the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has sharply criticized the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), claiming that their 2024 election campaign lacked any original or coherent message. According to Dr. Bawumia, the NDC merely amplified internal criticisms and comments made by NPP members, using them as their main political weapon. Speaking during a post-election strategic review session with party members, Dr. Bawumia said: "The NDC had no solid campaign message of their own. They simply took what we said against each other and made it their entire election strategy." He emphasized that instead of articulating a clear policy agenda or vision for the country, the NDC relied on highlighting divisions, grievances, and mistakes within the ruling party. This approach, according to Dr. Bawumia, resonated with a public already disillusioned by economic hardship and governance […]

Dr. Bawumia Attributes 2024 Election Defeat to High Cost of Living and Arrogance of Power

Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Ghana’s Vice President and a leading figure in the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has openly acknowledged that the party's defeat in the 2024 general elections was largely due to the high cost of living and a perception of arrogance among those in power. Addressing party members during a recent internal review meeting, Dr. Bawumia referenced multiple post-election reports and independent assessments that pointed to widespread public dissatisfaction with the government's economic management and attitude. According to him, these two critical factors—soaring living expenses and a disconnection from the ordinary citizen—played decisive roles in shaping voter sentiment. "Every single report we have received, both internal and external, points to the fact that the high cost of living weighed heavily on the electorate," Dr. Bawumia said. "Added to that was the perception that we became arrogant in our governance, […]
