Mahama Warns Unregulated AI Threatens Global Information Integrity

President John Dramani Mahama has warned that the rapid and unregulated expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) poses a serious threat to global information integrity, cautioning that it could fuel misinformation and distort public discourse if left unchecked. Speaking at the International Conference on Information Integrity in Paris, Mahama said AI-powered tools such as deepfakes and algorithmic manipulation are reshaping how people perceive truth, making it increasingly difficult to separate fact from fiction. “If we’re to build a sustainable planet, we must also build an informed public,” he said. “The dawn of artificial intelligence has transformed the information landscape. While AI offers immense opportunities for innovation, it also amplifies the risk of misinformation and economic disruption.” The Ghanaian leader emphasized the need for collective global action to ensure that technology serves humanity rather than undermines it. “Deepfakes, synthetic media, and algorithmic […]

Agbogbloshie Residents Endure Extreme Heat and Toxic Air Amid Ghana’s Climate Push

As Ghana accelerates efforts to tackle climate change, national attention has largely focused on flood control and improved drainage systems. Yet, in Agbogbloshie—one of Accra’s most vulnerable and densely populated communities—residents are facing another silent but equally deadly threat: extreme urban heat compounded by toxic air pollution and overcrowded housing. Despite initiatives like the Greater Accra Resilient and Integrated Development Project (GARID), which aim to enhance climate resilience in the capital, many argue that low-income neighborhoods like Agbogbloshie remain excluded from meaningful intervention. In Agbogbloshie, heat is not just an inconvenience—it’s a matter of survival. Narrow pathways, corrugated metal roofs, and poorly ventilated rooms trap unbearable temperatures, creating oven-like conditions that persist throughout the day and night. “My children have heat rashes every day. We pour water on the floor to cool the place, but it still feels like we’re […]

Unequal Climate Resilience: Odawna Residents Left Behind as Accra’s GARID Project Expands

As Ghana intensifies its efforts to combat climate change, the Greater Accra Resilient and Integrated Development Project (GARID) is transforming parts of the capital with upgraded drainage systems, cleaner waterways, and better living conditions in flood-prone communities such as Nima, Alajo, and Akweteman. However, residents of Odawna, just a few kilometers away, say they have been overlooked. Recurrent floods and rising heatwaves continue to disrupt daily life there, exposing deep inequalities in the country’s climate resilience drive. GARID, supported by the World Bank and the Ministry of Works and Housing, was launched to protect vulnerable urban communities from flooding and climate-related shocks. In areas like Nima and Alajo, its impact is clear: new concrete drains, raised walkways, and improved waste management systems have reduced waterlogging and improved sanitation. Residents report safer neighborhoods and a visible decline in flood damage. In […]

Ghana Imposes Moratorium on Independent Biometric Systems to Strengthen Data Security

The Office of the President has placed an immediate freeze on the procurement and use of independent biometric Automated Fingerprint Identification Systems (AFIS) across all government institutions. The directive, issued by the Secretary to the President, Callistus Mahama, marks a significant shift in how Ghana manages biometric and identification data. This decision isn’t just administrative — it’s a push toward efficiency, data protection, and digital standardization in government operations. Why the Ban Matters For years, different Ministries, Departments, Agencies (MDAs), and Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs) have operated separate biometric systems, often running parallel databases for verification and identity management. This fragmented approach has been expensive, inconsistent, and a serious risk to data integrity. The new moratorium prohibits all MDAs and state institutions from: Developing or deploying independent biometric platforms. Running parallel biometric databases. Verifying identities using only visual […]

ISSER Urges Government to Treat Waste Management as an Economic Growth Strategy

Experts from the University of Ghana’s Institute of Statistical, Social and Economic Research (ISSER) are calling on government to redefine waste management as an engine for economic growth, rather than treating it solely as a public health challenge. In a new policy paper titled “The High Cost of Improper Waste Management and Poor Sanitation on Ghana’s Economy,” the ISSER team argues that effective sanitation systems could generate billions in economic value, create new employment opportunities, and improve environmental outcomes. According to the report, every US$1 invested in sanitation could yield up to US$5.50 in economic returns, based on data from the World Health Organization (WHO). The researchers estimate that if Ghana were to dedicate just 1% of its GDP — approximately US$883 million — to sanitation and waste management, the country could generate as much as US$4.86 billion in overall […]

65-Year-Old Woman Beheaded by Nephew in Central Region

A 65-year-old woman, Madam Abena Gladys, has been brutally murdered and beheaded by her nephew in Breman-Benin, a community in the Asikuma-Odoben-Brakwa District of the Central Region. The suspect, identified as Kojo Sam, allegedly attacked his aunt in what witnesses described as an unprovoked and horrific assault. According to a Ghana News Agency (GNA) report, the incident occurred around 12:15 p.m. on Monday, October 20, 2025, when the suspect forced his way into the victim’s room armed with a pestle. He reportedly struck her multiple times, dragged her outside, stabbed her repeatedly, and eventually beheaded her. Relatives and residents revealed that the suspect had previously threatened to kill the victim during family disagreements. Despite these warnings, the family chose to handle the situation privately without reporting it to the authorities. After committing the gruesome act, the suspect fled the scene […]

Cape Verde and Ghana Qualify for 2026 World Cup

Cape Verde and Ghana have both qualified for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, turning disappointment into celebration after missing out on the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. Cape Verde, an island nation of around 550,000 people, achieved a historic milestone by becoming the smallest African country to qualify for the World Cup. Ghana, a four-time African champion, also secured its spot after a strong qualifying campaign. Their qualification brings joy to fans who had been frustrated by their earlier failures. The two nations now join Algeria, Egypt, Ivory Coast, Morocco, Senegal, South Africa, and Tunisia as the nine African teams automatically heading to the 2026 tournament in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Four more teams — Cameroon, Gabon, DR Congo, and Nigeria — will compete in a mini-tournament in November for a chance to reach intercontinental play-offs in March. […]

Group Sues Ghana Government to Void U.S. Deportation Deal of West Africans

A Ghanaian civil society group, Democracy Hub, has filed a lawsuit at the Supreme Court seeking to nullify the deportation agreement between Ghana and the United States government, describing it as unconstitutional and inhumane. The legal challenge follows President John Mahama’s recent disclosure that Ghana had entered into an arrangement with Washington to accept deportees from across West Africa as part of U.S. President Donald Trump’s broad deportation programme. According to lawyers and affected migrants, at least 28 deportees have so far been flown into Ghana, with some subsequently transferred to their countries of origin or sent to third countries without proper documentation. In its court filing, Democracy Hub accused the Mahama administration of violating constitutional provisions by implementing the U.S. deportation deal “without a parliamentary resolution or ratification.” The group is asking the Supreme Court to declare the reception, […]

Le Togo mise sur l’énergie régionale pour sa stabilité

Créé en 1999 sous l’impulsion de la CEDEAO, le West African Power Pool (WAPP) – ou Système d’échanges d’énergie électrique ouest-africain – joue un rôle clé dans l’intégration énergétique régionale. Sa mission : renforcer la production, le transport et les interconnexions électriques entre pays, afin d’assurer aux populations un accès stable, fiable et abordable à l’électricité. Un enjeu stratégique pour le Togo Pour Lomé, le WAPP représente un levier essentiel de sécurité énergétique. Au-delà des efforts nationaux de production, la coopération régionale permet de compenser les déficits, d’absorber les pics de consommation et de limiter les coupures. « Une électricité continue et fiable ne peut pas reposer uniquement sur les capacités locales », rappellent les autorités. Grâce à ce mécanisme, le Togo peut importer de l’énergie depuis ses voisins comme le Ghana ou le Bénin, garantissant une meilleure continuité du […]
