K.T. Hammond: Ghana will suffer without Bawumia

Former Member of Parliament for Adansi Asokwa, K.T. Hammond, has cautioned that Ghanaians may face severe hardship if former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is not elected President in the 2028 elections. Addressing supporters during Dr. Bawumia’s campaign tour in the Ashanti Region on September 10, Hammond expressed firm confidence in the former vice president’s leadership qualities, stressing that he has the competence and ability to manage the affairs of the country if given the mandate.

Ghana MP Questions ‘Rushed’ Removal of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo

Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, Member of Parliament for Manhyia South and Vice Chairman of the Subsidiary Legislation Committee, has strongly criticized the removal of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo. He described the move as procedurally flawed, unfair, and rushed. President John Mahama on September 1, 2025, dismissed Chief Justice Torkornoo with immediate effect over alleged “stated misbehaviour,” following recommendations from a constitutional committee established under Article 146 of the 1992 Constitution. The decision came just hours after the President received the committee’s report on a petition filed by Ghanaian citizen Daniel Ofori. Notably, this was only one of three petitions submitted against the Chief Justice. Speaking on JoyNews’ Newsfile, Baffour Awuah questioned the speed and selective handling of the petitions, noting that there is no constitutional requirement demanding such urgency. “In the absence of timelines, what was the committee in a […]

Road Works Continue in Akwatia After By-Election

Road construction works in parts of Akwatia are still ongoing days after Tuesday’s by-election, despite earlier suspicions that the projects were quickly rolled out to influence voters. JoyNews observed active roadworks across the constituency, including in Kusi and Tarkrowase, the hometowns of both parents of MP-elect Bernard Bediako. A day after the polls, tipper trucks and graders were still on site, with construction teams preparing the roads for asphalting. Similar activity was recorded in Tarkrowase.

He explained that the works are currently being executed under a daily contract arrangement. While admitting that construction only began less than a week before the election, he dismissed claims that the timing was politically motivated. Bernard Bediako, the NDC candidate, […]

Bawumia Rejects Tribal, Religious Propaganda in NPP Race

New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential hopeful, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has condemned what he describes as tribal and religious propaganda being used against him by fellow aspirants in the run-up to the party’s 2026 primaries. Speaking to party supporters on Sunday, August 24, the former Vice President warned that such tactics risk deepening divisions within the party while distracting delegates from the real issues behind the NPP’s 2024 electoral defeat. “As we go into the primaries, I am very concerned that some of our presidential aspirants have embarked on religious and tribal bigotry against me,” Dr. Bawumia said. He argued that rather than focusing on evidence-based strategies, certain aspirants are misleading delegates with identity-based propaganda. “In their desperate attempt to win votes, they ignore the data on why we lost the 2024 election and instead mislead delegates with propaganda,” he added.

Health Minister Defends Farming Background

Ghana’s Minister of Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, has strongly dismissed criticisms suggesting that his farming background makes him unqualified to lead the Ministry of Health. The comments originated from Dr. David Tenkorang, General Secretary of the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA), who argued that the Minister lacked a deep understanding of hospital operations because “he is a farmer.” Addressing the matter at a press conference on Thursday, Mr. Akandoh described the remarks as misplaced and a needless distraction. He explained that effective leadership of the Health Ministry does not require a medical degree alone, but rather strategic leadership, policy implementation, and problem-solving capacity. “I have been reminded that I am a farmer. Yes, nobody needs to remind me. I am a proud farmer, and everybody knows it. Until my appointment, I was one of the largest rice farmers […]
