Ghana Government Needs GH¢500 Million to Tackle Food Glut, Says Agriculture Minister

Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, has revealed that the government will require approximately GH¢500 million to address the current oversupply of farm produce, commonly referred to as a food glut. Speaking on the Citi Breakfast Show, Mr. Opoku emphasized the need for a coordinated, data-driven approach to tackle the challenge, warning that inaction could discourage farmers from reinvesting in agriculture. “You do not just get up and move into a farm because there is a glut. You need to move there with your technical team to ascertain the amount of farm produce to be procured. From the figures we are receiving, we will need about GH¢500 million to be able to clear it,” he said. The Minister noted that the Ministry is engaging the World Food Programme and other development partners to explore strategies for managing the glut […]

Ghana’s Health System in Crisis: LHIMS Shutdown Paralyzes Patient Care Nationwide

Ghana’s healthcare faces chaos after the Lightwave Health Information Management System (LHIMS) shutdown. Doctors lose access to patient data dating back to 2020, crippling hospitals nationwide. Major Digital Health Breakdown Hits Ghana Ghana’s healthcare delivery has been thrown into disarray after the Lightwave Health Information Management System (LHIMS) — the digital backbone of public hospitals — abruptly went offline.

Government Responds With New Digital Platform Health Minister Kwabena Mintah Akandoh has confirmed that the government will roll out a new Ghana Health Information Management System (GHIMS) to […]

Expectant Mothers Forced to Deliver on Floor at Yeji Matthias Hospital Amid Overcrowding

Expectant mothers at Yeji Matthias Hospital in the Pru East District are reportedly being forced to deliver their babies on the bare floor, due to severe overcrowding and a lack of space in the hospital’s labour ward. The disturbing situation has sparked public outrage and urgent appeals from healthcare workers, residents, and local authorities for immediate government intervention. According to Adom News reporter Daniel Tachie, the hospital’s medical team says the current labour ward is too small to accommodate the growing number of deliveries. This leaves midwives and doctors overwhelmed, compromising both maternal and neonatal safety. “We are doing our best to save lives, but the environment is not conducive. Sometimes women in labour have to lie on the floor because all beds are occupied. It breaks our hearts as health workers,” said Dr. Evans Narh Dotcher, Acting Medical Director […]

George Sarpong Warns Against Rising Hate Speech and Misinformation in Ghana

George Sarpong, Executive Director of the Media Foundation, has warned that the spread of hate speech and misinformation is fast becoming a grave threat to democratic stability and national cohesion. Speaking at a three-day journalist training workshop in Tamale themed “Hate Speech, Misinformation, and Disinformation,” Sarpong said unchecked false narratives and divisive rhetoric are eroding public trust and undermining the foundations of democracy. The workshop was organized by the ECOWAS Peace and Security Group (EPSG) in partnership with the Ghana National Peace Council (NPC). Sarpong explained that hate speech, often driven by inflammatory or discriminatory language, can fuel violence and widen social divisions, while misinformation distorts truth and manipulates public perception. “Misinformation is not merely about spreading falsehoods; it is a calculated assault on factual integrity,” he said. “It confuses the public, manipulates perception, and ultimately undermines informed decision-making.” He […]

Coalition Against Galamsey Condemns Attack on Anti-Mining Officers in Asutifi North

The Coalition Against Galamsey, Ghana, has strongly condemned the violent attack on members of the National Anti-Illegal Mining Operations Squad (NAIMOS) and other security personnel during a recent enforcement operation in the Asutifi North District.

PFAG Questions NAFCO Over GHC 100 Million Grain Purchase Fund

The Peasant Farmers Association of Ghana (PFAG) is urging the government to clarify how the GHC 100 million released to the National Food Buffer Stock Company (NAFCO) was utilized for purchasing surplus grains from farmers across the country. The fund, announced earlier this year, was meant to stabilize food prices and help farmers offload excess maize, rice, and other staples. But several months later, many farmers say they have not seen any evidence of direct purchases or financial support. PFAG’s Executive Director, Bismark Owusu Nortey, voiced concern about the situation: “I have not had any report from farmers saying they have sold their produce to NAFCO, which is why we are worried about where the GHC 100 million went.” Nortey acknowledged that some NAFCO-branded rice has been seen on the market but noted the lack of transparent data identifying which […]
