UK Considers Removing Prince Andrew from Succession

The UK government is examining possible legislation to remove Prince Andrew from the royal line of succession, a move that would permanently bar him from becoming monarch. Defence Minister Luke Pollard said the proposal was “the right thing to do”, though he stressed that any formal step should follow the conclusion of the ongoing police investigation. Andrew, the brother of King Charles III, is currently eighth in line to the throne despite having stepped back from public duties and losing several royal titles amid longstanding controversy over his association with Jeffrey Epstein. He denies wrongdoing. Pollard confirmed that ministers have been working with Buckingham Palace on the matter, describing it as an issue that could attract cross-party backing once legal processes are complete. Chief Secretary to the Treasury James Murray cautioned that the situation is legally complex and should not […]

UK justice minister to unveil major court reforms

UK Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood is set to announce a sweeping package of court and sentencing reforms aimed at tackling crime and easing pressure on Britain’s overcrowded prisons.​ The plan will tighten early release rules for serious offenders, reduce the scope for automatic release, and expand the use of longer sentences for repeat and dangerous criminals.​ At the same time, the reforms will encourage alternatives to custody for low‑level, non‑violent offenders, including community sentences and rehabilitation programmes, in a bid to reduce reoffending and free up prison space for high‑risk inmates.​ The proposals are also expected to include measures to speed up court processes, cut case backlogs, and make greater use of technology such as remote hearings to improve efficiency across the justice system.​ Mahmood is due to present the reform package to Parliament, stressing that the changes are designed […]

Ghana’s PAC urges EPA to shut down petrol and gas stations in residential areas over safety concerns

The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of Ghana’s Parliament has called on the Ministry of Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to take decisive action against individuals and companies operating petrol and gas stations within residential communities. The Committee warned that these practices pose severe safety hazards and could have catastrophic consequences in the event of a fire or explosion. During a recent committee session, Acting Chair Samuel Atta Mills described the situation as both “alarming and unacceptable,” urging the EPA to strengthen enforcement and protect lives and property. “The dangers in siting petrol and gas stations within residential communities are real and deadly in times of emergencies. Such actions must not be entertained,” Atta Mills stated. He further called on the EPA to tighten its licensing procedures, noting that some operators exploit loopholes and allegedly […]

Minority Yet to Decide on Vetting of Acting Chief Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie

The Minority in Parliament says it has not yet decided whether to participate in the vetting of Acting Chief Justice, Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie, amid ongoing controversy over the removal of former Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo. Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin stated that his caucus is “keeping all options open” as it closely observes developments related to what he described as serious procedural breaches by the Justice Pwamang Committee, which recommended Justice Torkornoo’s removal. “To deal with the issue of the CJ’s removal, whether or not we are going to participate in any process — for us, all cards are on the table,” Afenyo-Markin said. He accused the committee of undermining due process and delivering what he called “a travesty of justice.” “What that committee has done — the purported recommendation — should prick their own conscience, all the committee members,” he […]

Minority accuses government of ‘appropriating Akufo-Addo legacy on e-Passport rollout’

Jinapor, Ranking Member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, the Minority described the recent launch of the nationwide rollout as a “purported re-launch” of a completed project. “It is through the hard work and dedication of the Akufo-Addo Government which oversaw the planning, procurement and execution of the Project that has led to Ghana issuing electronic chip-embedded passports,” the statement said.The Minority detailed the origins of the project, tracing it back to the International Civil Aviation Organisation’s (ICAO) 2013 directive on electronic Machine Readable Travel Documents (eMRTDs).

IDEG Calls for 120-Day Limit on Election Dispute Rulings to Strengthen Ghana’s Democratic Processes

The Institute for Democratic Governance (IDEG) has urged Ghana's Judiciary and Parliament to enact legislation mandating that all election-related disputes be resolved within 120 days. This initiative aims to enhance the efficiency and credibility of the country's electoral system by ensuring timely adjudication of electoral disputes. Rationale Behind the 120-Day Limit IDEG's proposal stems from concerns that prolonged election dispute resolutions can undermine public confidence in democratic institutions and potentially destabilize the political landscape. By instituting a definitive timeframe, the organization believes that electoral justice will be delivered more promptly, thereby reinforcing the legitimacy of election outcomes. Proposed Legislative Framework The recommended legislation would require that: All election petitions and related legal challenges be filed within a specified period post-election. The Judiciary prioritizes these cases to ensure resolution within the 120-day window. Mechanisms be established to monitor compliance and address […]

Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson made the announcement on April 23 2025, during a session on the Ghana Energy Compact under Mission 300, organised by the World Bank.
