AMA Cracks Down on Businesses Defying Sanitation Day Closure in Accra

The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) has launched a judicial crackdown, issuing summons to several commercial entities that defied the mandatory closure order during the National Sanitation Day exercise on Saturday, October 4. City officials described the move as a necessary escalation to enforce compliance, signalling a tougher phase in the capital’s sanitation campaign. The coordinated clean-up exercise—led by the Ministry of Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs—featured active participation from the Mayor of Accra, Michael Kpakpo Allotey, the Minister Ahmed Ibrahim, and the Ga Mantse, King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II. According to AMA Public Relations Officer Gilbert Ankrah, several non-compliant shop owners were swiftly dealt with by sanitation and public health officers. “What we noticed was that there were a couple of shop owners who had opened their shops, and quickly we had sanitation and public health officers moving in […]

Bright Simons Blasts Intermediaries Over GH¢7bn Leak in Ghana’s Gold-for-Oil Programme

Vice President of IMANI Africa, Bright Simons, has sharply criticised the use of intermediaries in Ghana’s Gold-for-Oil programme, following a new report by the think tank that revealed a GH¢7 billion leakage. Speaking on JoyNews’s Newsfile, Mr. Simons said the intended beneficiaries—the Ghanaian public—did not gain from the initiative. Instead, he claimed, a network of brokers and middlemen reaped significant profits from the monetisation process. “The eventual beneficiaries of this case were the brokers and the middlemen,” Mr. Simons stated. “The only people who got any benefit are those who were in the middle during the monetisation, enabling the shipment of the fuel to BOST and others.” He argued that Ghana could have met its objectives through a simpler, more transparent approach—without relying on opaque and costly intermediaries. “Ghana could simply have said, we have our domestic gold purchasing programme, […]

Kwahu Afram Plains DCE Urges Youth to Embrace Agriculture for Better Livelihoods

Kwahu Afram Plains North District Chief Executive (DCE), Kate Mawusi Babanawo, has urged young people in the district to embrace agriculture as a reliable path to improving their livelihoods. During a visit to the district’s 30-acre maize and cassava farm at Donkorkrom, Ms. Babanawo emphasized that agriculture holds strong potential to boost food production and increase internally generated funds for the area. She reassured the youth of government’s commitment to provide farming inputs that will enhance productivity. “Agriculture presents real opportunities for the youth. By investing in it, they can not only support themselves but also contribute to the district’s development,” she said.

Agric Minister Credits Feed Ghana for Bumper Harvest

Minister of Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, has credited Ghana’s ongoing bumper harvest to the government’s flagship Feed Ghana Programme, describing it as proof of the initiative’s success. His comments respond to concerns from farmers in several communities who say they are struggling to find buyers despite producing food in record quantities. Speaking on Citi FM on Wednesday, Mr Opoku said the challenge is not isolated but part of a nationwide outcome driven by the government’s intervention. “The farmers in many parts of the country are complaining that they have produced in quantities beyond the market, and they are not getting buyers. In Asunafo South, for example, the youth who participated in the Feed Ghana Programme told me they have been harvesting rice in large volumes and are looking for a market. What we are seeing is a nationwide bumper […]

UG Scholar Criticises Mahama’s UN Reparations Call, Cites Africa’s Role in Slave Trade

The Head of the Centre for European Studies at the University of Ghana, Dr Kwame Asah-Asante, has criticised former President John Mahama’s call for reparations during his recent address at the United Nations General Assembly, describing the demand as misplaced. Speaking on the AM Show on JoyNews, Dr Asah-Asante acknowledged that many have hailed the ex-president’s speech as bold and visionary. “It is an apt description of a speech from a leader who is visionary, who fears nobody, and a leader worth his salt. I have no problem with that, and I concede to a large extent that yes, the speech had what it takes to be presented at that forum,” he said. However, he disagreed with the focus on reparations for slavery, arguing that Africa cannot be absolved of responsibility in the transatlantic slave trade. “The president touched on […]

Penkye Fish Processing Plant Abandoned, Residents Demand Accountability

A multi-thousand-cedi fish processing facility built under the previous New Patriotic Party (NPP) Nana Addo-Bawumia administration to modernize fish preservation in Penkye has been left abandoned, deteriorating into a sanitation hazard and crippling the livelihoods of fishermen and fishmongers. The plant, meant to replace traditional methods such as smoking and salting, has never been commissioned. Years of neglect have rendered it unusable, forcing the community back to outdated preservation practices ill-suited for Penkye’s humid environment. During a recent visit, Bernard Kwame Dogbey, a level 300 journalism student at the University of Education, Winneba, found a community frustrated and struggling. Beyond piles of refuse and choked gutters, the lack of a functioning preservation system stood out as the central challenge. Fishmonger Ama Asantewaa described the loss:“We lose a lot of our catch to spoilage because we cannot preserve it properly. Smoking […]

Ghana declares forests, rivers Security Zones in galamsey fight

The Minister for Lands and Natural Resources and Acting Minister for Environment, Science and Technology, Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, has declared all forest reserves and river bodies in Ghana as Security Zones, reaffirming government’s uncompromising commitment to the fight against illegal mining (galamsey). He made the declaration at the closing ceremony of a week-long intensive training programme for personnel of the National Anti-Illegal Mining Operations Secretariat (NAIMOS) in Sunyani.

They are victories; victories for our land, for our water, and for our people,” he said. Mr. Buah stressed […]

Ashaiman court remands man for posing as police officer

The Ashaiman District Court has remanded 54-year-old Kofi Boakye Frimpong into custody for allegedly impersonating a public officer by posing as a police chief inspector without lawful authority, contrary to Section 237 of the Criminal Offence Act, 1960 (Act 29). Frimpong’s plea was not taken as investigations continue to determine whether he was previously a police officer. According to the prosecution, led by Inspector Henry Nartey Tetteh, the complainants were officers of the Zenu-Attadeka Motor Transport and Traffic Directorate (MTTD) who arrested Frimpong. On September 17, 2025, at about 9:00 am, the officers encountered him at the Zenu Star Fuel Station dressed in a tactical black police uniform with a chief inspector’s rank badge. Suspicious of his identity, they engaged him briefly, during which Frimpong reportedly jumped onto a motorbike and ordered the rider to speed off. After a chase, […]
