ECG Explains Rising Electricity Bills: Lifestyle, Tariffs & Faulty Wiring

Amid growing public concern over surging electricity bills, the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has provided clarity on the main contributors: approved tariffs, household energy habits, inefficient appliances, and poor electrical installations—not meter malfunction. Dr. Charles Nii Ayiku Ayiku, ECG’s General Manager for External Communications, stressed that the public must also take responsibility for their consumption behaviors. Dr. Ayiku reiterated that ECG does not determine electricity tariffs—it applies rates approved by the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC). The charges include energy consumption fees, streetlight levies, and service costs, all based strictly on usage. High-powered appliances such as air conditioners, water heaters, and fridges significantly drive up bills. Additionally, so-called “vampire loads” — power drawn by devices like TVs, chargers, and gaming consoles in standby — quietly inflate consumption. Dr. Ayiku explained: “Sometimes we blame the meters, but often our own […]

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. His views were shared during an appearance on Adom FM’s morning show, Dwaso Nsem/ Key Position: De-politicize and Prioritize Security Mr. Donkor questioned the calls for the Minister to make arrests, arguing: “Why are we calling on the Minister to go and effect arrests? It makes it look as though it was a government official who assaulted the nurse. He emphasized that hospitals should immediately report such incidents to the police. The core issue, he noted, is a breakdown in security at Ridge Hospital—how did the perpetrator gain entry […]

Ghana Prioritizes Flood Mitigation Efforts in Kumasi

The Ghanaian government, under the direction of Minister Kenneth Gilbert Adjei of the Works, Housing, and Water Resources Ministry, has unveiled a firm plan to address the persistent flooding issues in Kumasi. Speaking at a stakeholder validation workshop, he emphasized that this will be a multi-sectoral effort—integrating agencies, local assemblies, and public-private partners—to deliver sustainable flood control solutions. The Government’s Strategy and Funding Plan In his speech, Minister Adjei stressed that Kumasi’s flooding cannot be resolved by a single institution. A holistic strategy involving the Ministry itself, Metropolitan and Municipal Assemblies (MMDAs), and other relevant agencies is essential. Key components of the government’s approach include: Emergency Drainage Interventions: Immediate desilting and cleaning of drains in flood-prone areas. Strict Enforcement: Demolition of unauthorized structures on waterways and reinforcement of development controls. Public Education & Behavior Change: Campaigns aimed at sanitation, proper […]

Grace Ayensu-Danquah’s ‘Professor’ Title Disputed by GTEC

A fierce debate has erupted following parliamentary vetting of Dr. Grace Ayensu-Danquah as Deputy Minister of Health, where she claimed the title “Professor.” Award-winning journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni has since scrutinized her academic designation, while the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) disputes her claim. This article unpacks the developments and why the truth matters. During her vetting, Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin questioned the use of the “Professor” title, prompting Dr. Ayensu-Danquah to insist she was “a full Professor of Surgery” at the University of Utah, citing prolific research output and multiple defended theses. However, scrutiny of her credentials reveals a different picture: Her CV lists just 13 research works (including her master’s thesis), mainly orally presented, raising doubts about her “too numerous to count” claim. A letter from the University of Utah to GTEC dated August 7, 2025, explicitly identifies […]

NAIMOS Arrests Four Soldiers for Illegal Mining Raids at Simpa Junction

The National Anti-Illegal Mining Operations Secretariat (NAIMOS) has arrested four soldiers for conducting unauthorized raids at Simpa Junction in the Tarkwa Nsuaem District of the Western Region. During a targeted operation on Monday, August 18, 2025, the NAIMOS taskforce seized the suspects’ weapons and equipment. Reports indicate that the soldiers were allegedly involved in illicit anti-mining activities under the guise of official National Security operations. Following their arrest, the four military personnel were handed over to the 2nd Infantry Battalion of the Ghana Armed Forces at Apremdo in Takoradi for investigations and disciplinary measures. The crackdown brings relief to legitimate mining operators and law-abiding businesses within the Tarkwa Nsuaem area. NAIMOS affirmed its commitment to intensifying operations alongside other state agencies to eradicate the galamsey menace, while the government reaffirmed its resolve to tackle illegal mining and its destructive consequences.

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. To guarantee nationwide coverage, areas without an RTI office will be grouped under existing zonal structures. Speaking […]

Assemblies of God Bans Use of Honorary Doctor Titles by Clergy

The Assemblies of God Church in Ghana has formally instructed its clergy to refrain from using honorary doctorate titles—such as “Dr.”—during official or public functions. The directive, issued via a circular dated July 11, 2025, follows a resolution passed by the church’s Executive Presbytery in May 2024. This move aligns with regulations issued by the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC), which does not recognize honorary doctorates—whether from accredited or unaccredited institutions—as equivalent to earned academic degrees. Under the directive, pastors who hold honorary degrees are explicitly barred from appending “Dr.” to their names. Clergy with earned academic degrees—be it bachelor’s, master’s, or Ph.D.—must submit their certificates to GTEC for verification before being formally recognized by the church. The Assemblies of God warned that non-compliance with the directive or GTEC’s requirements could lead to disciplinary action, including suspension from office. To […]

EC to Start Printing Ballot Papers on August 20 for Akwatia By-Election

The Electoral Commission (EC) has confirmed that printing of ballot papers for the upcoming Akwatia parliamentary by-election will commence on Wednesday, August 20, 2025. This was announced following a security-focused meeting convened by the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) with political party representatives to discuss preventive measures against electoral violence and key logistical arrangements. At the post-meeting briefing, EC’s Director of Electoral Services, Benjamin Bano-Bioh, stated: “As of now, we are going to start the printing of ballots from tomorrow... Procurement has already been done. We have procured all the materials required for the election.” The by-election has been necessitated by the passing of Akwatia’s Member of Parliament, Ernest Yaw Kumi, who represented the constituency under the New Patriotic Party (NPP) until his death in July 2025, creating a vacancy in Parliament. During the same meeting, the IGP assured political actors […]
