Ghana Could Import Water if Galamsey Continues, Says Nana Yaa Jantuah

esidential Staffer and Head of the Utility Review Hearing Committee, Nana Yaa Jantuah, has warned that Ghana could face the possibility of importing water in the future if illegal mining, widely known as galamsey, is not curbed. Speaking at a public hearing on utility tariff proposals in Accra, she cautioned that unregulated galamsey activities are heavily polluting the nation’s rivers and lakes, threatening water security for both domestic and industrial use. “We have an issue at hand, and everybody knows what it is, and that is galamsey. Because of galamsey, the Ghana Water Company faces major challenges in treating water for public use. If the situation is not checked, Ghana could soon become water-poor,” she said. Jantuah further explained that such a development would drive up costs for households and businesses, disproportionately affecting the poor. “Water poverty means Ghana might […]

Ghana Scholarships Secretariat Probed Over Alleged Misuse of Funds for Spouses and Dependents

The Registrar of the Ghana Scholarships Secretariat, Alex Kwaku Asafo-Agyei, has raised serious concerns about questionable practices in the administration of scholarship funds during the tenure of his predecessor, Dr. Kingsley Agyemang. Speaking in an interview on Nhyira FM’s Kuro Yi Mu Nsem, Mr. Asafo-Agyei alleged that, beyond covering tuition and living expenses for students abroad, the Secretariat also extended full financial support to the spouses and children of some beneficiaries—a move he described as highly problematic. “What happened at the Secretariat was that when a student was awarded a scholarship, their wife and children were also added as dependents,” he explained. “The Secretariat paid for their visa processes, air tickets, and even allocated stipends. There are memos with official approval confirming these payments.” He cited a specific case involving Mr. Peter Mensah, who received a scholarship in January 2022 […]

Ghana’s small-scale gold sector has posted a record-breaking performance, with exports between January and August 2025 reaching 66.7 tonnes, valued at approximately $6.3 billion. The figures, announced by the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), Sammy Gyamfi, surpass the entire small-scale output for 2024, which stood at 63 tonnes worth $4.6 billion. Mr. Gyamfi made the announcement at the maiden Mining and Minerals Convention in Accra on Tuesday, September 9. He credited the achievement to GoldBod’s collaboration with the Bank of Ghana and reforms designed to strengthen accountability, reduce smuggling, and ensure fair pricing for small-scale miners. “From January to the end of August 2025, small-scale gold exports facilitated by GoldBod, in close cooperation with the Bank of Ghana, hit a record 66.7 tonnes, valued at approximately $6 billion.

AAMUSTED Launches Academic Journals to Bridge Research and Policy in Ghana

The Akenten Appiah-Menka University of Skills Training and Entrepreneurial Development (AAMUSTED) has launched two academic journals to promote research and innovation for national development. The journals, titled the Journal of Technology Education and Applied Science (JTEAS) and the Journal of Applied Social Science & Entrepreneurship Education (JASSEE), are designed to make research accessible to policymakers, educators, and entrepreneurs. Speaking at the launch in Kumasi, Professor Isaac Boateng, Pro Vice Chancellor of AAMUSTED, emphasized that these journals aim to close the gap between academics and policymakers. He noted that many valuable research works end up in paid international journals or in university libraries, making it difficult for politicians and decision-makers to access. “These journals will create a free platform where findings can be shared to guide development,” he said. Prof. Boateng added that the initiative will also help preserve indigenous technical […]

Assembly Members vs Chief Justice: Who Has More Legal Protection in Ghana?

On September 1, 2025, the President of the Republic signed a warrant removing the suspended Chief Justice, Her Ladyship Gertrude Araba Esaaba Sackey Torkoono. Her removal has sparked widespread debate over the legality of the process. Article 146 of the 1992 Constitution has become the subject of heated discussions, with lawyers, politicians, civil society, and even “pocket lawyers” arguing for or against its proper application. In my earlier article, I explained why the removed Chief Justice could not return to serve as a Justice of the Supreme Court. In this piece, I argue that an elected Assembly Member is, by law, better protected from removal than even the Chief Justice, who heads the Judiciary—the third arm of government. Article 146(1) clearly sets the grounds for removing a Justice of the superior courts or a tribunal chairman: stated misbehavior, incompetence, or […]

Illegal Miners Seize $168m Gold Mine Concession in Adansi, Ashanti Region

he future of what could become the second-largest mine in the Adansi enclave of the Ashanti Region is now in jeopardy after illegal miners forcibly seized over 200 acres of concession land. The site, secured by Mining and Construction Services for underground mining, has been overrun by groups allegedly led by the NDC Vice Chairman for Obuasi West, Alhaji Zamba. The illegal operators, equipped with excavators, are conducting unsustainable mining and digging trenches, leaving staff of the legal operators threatened and driven away. Managing Director Andy Amoah recounted how his team was forced to stop operations despite holding valid documentation. He explained that although the company had secured all necessary licenses and even gained clearance from National Security operatives, the illegal miners refused to vacate the concession, insisting the land was allocated to communities under the John Mahama administration. In […]

Abossey Okai Spare Parts Dealers Issue 3-Day Ultimatum to Foreign Traders

The Abossey Okai Spare Parts Dealers Association has given foreign traders operating in the enclave three days to close their shops or face enforcement action. According to the Association, the activities of these traders violate Ghana’s investment laws, distort fair competition, and threaten the survival of local businesses. Speaking at a press conference in Accra, the General Secretary, Gifty Lovelock Naana Fianu, explained that if authorities fail to act, the group will enforce Section 27(1) of the GIPC Act, 2013 (Act 865), including through citizens’ arrest if necessary. “We are giving them three days. Today, we will go round and speak with them politely to ensure they understand. On Wednesday, we will engage their leaders. If they refuse to listen, we will involve the authorities,” she said. She added that letters would be sent to the police and other relevant […]
