Onion Farmers Urge Government to Regulate Imports

Onion farmers in Asante Akyem North are calling on the government to regulate the importation of foreign onions in order to protect local produce and ensure a stable market for Ghanaian farmers.

Donkor: Treat Ridge Hospital Assault as Crime, Not Political Matter

In the wake of the disturbing assault on a nurse at Ridge Hospital, former Sekyere Afram Plains District Chief Executive (DCE) Fuseini Donkor has called for a grounded, legal response—urging that the issue be treated as a criminal matter handled by security agencies, not politicized or thrust onto the Health Minister.

RTI Commission Flags Staffing, Logistics Gaps at 5th Anniversary

At the launch of its 5th-anniversary celebration in Accra, the Executive Secretary of Ghana’s Right to Information (RTI) Commission, Genevieve Shirley Lartey Esq., raised pressing concerns about the Commission’s limited capacity to effectively fulfill its mandate due to significant staffing and logistical constraints. Despite operating four regional offices—in Accra (head office), Bono, Ashanti, and Upper East—the Commission continues to operate with a small team and scant resources, relying heavily on external partners to sustain its functions. Lartey emphasized the urgent need for additional resources, including logistics and financial support, to ensure continued functionality and efficiency across all offices. Plans are in progress to open additional regional branches in the Northern and Central regions, with another yet-to-be-named region slated before the end of 2025.
