Gov’t Disburses GH¢809M to Pokuase–Nsawam Highway Contractor

Ghana’s Controller and Accountant-General, Mr. Kwasi Agyei, has confirmed that the government has fully paid GH¢809 million to the contractor handling the Pokuase–Nsawam Highway project—Maripoma Enterprise Limited—allowing work to resume on this critical stretch. The payments were disbursed in stages, with the first tranche issued on July 24, followed by another on July 30, and the final installment on August 4, 2025—fully satisfying the contractual request. This confirmation brings relief to frustrated commuters who have endured prolonged delays and congestion. Significantly, the return of the contractor to the site coincides with the Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) suspending its planned strike. The union had threatened to halt services starting August 20 unless repairs began promptly. The government's timely settlement has thus helped avert transportation disruption and underscores its commitment to maintaining critical infrastructure and public confidence.

In a revealing move, Acting Deputy Director-General of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Mr. Mensah Thompson, has raised urgent concerns about the growing misuse of artificial intelligence (AI) in fraudulent schemes and impersonation across the country.

Ghana Nurses Midwives Protest Over 8-Month Unpaid Salaries

A coalition of more than 7,000 nurses and midwives working in public health facilities across Ghana has staged a protest to demand the immediate release of eight months’ worth of unpaid salaries. The group, known as the Coalition of Unpaid Nurses and Midwives, says they have not received any pay since January 2025, leaving many in severe financial distress. Despite being granted financial clearance by government—a process meant to authorize their salaries—no payments have been made to date. During the protest, the convener of the coalition, Stephen Kwadwo Takyiah, expressed the deep frustration and emotional toll the situation has caused. “We are emotionally drained from working with no assurances of payment anytime soon,” he lamented, describing the toll on both morale and daily survival. The health professionals argue that the salary delays have forced them into what they call an […]

Ramseyer Credit Union Marks 25 Years, Urges Stronger Regulations

The Ramseyer Cooperative Credit Union has celebrated its 25th anniversary with a strong appeal to government to strengthen financial regulations to safeguard the operations of credit unions across Ghana. Speaking at the milestone event in Kumasi, Chief Executive Officer Kennedy Yeboah highlighted the crucial role of credit unions in expanding financial inclusion, especially for low- and middle-income earners who often lack access to mainstream banking services. Mr. Yeboah stressed that despite remarkable progress in the cooperative sector over the past decades, weak regulatory frameworks and emerging risks in the financial landscape continue to pose challenges. “Government must look at the legislation that requires credit unions to be efficient, so that the unions can work hand in hand with government to achieve the results we want,” he urged. He emphasized that stronger financial oversight would not only protect members’ hard-earned savings […]

Assembly Members Decry Poor Quality of Government-Provided Motorbikes in Asunafo North

Assembly members in the Asunafo North Municipality of the Ahafo Region have expressed dissatisfaction with the poor quality of motorbikes provided to them by the government for official duties. Speaking to Adom News in Goaso, Samuel Antoh, the Assembly Member for the Akrodie Manhyia Electoral Area, lamented that the motorbikes supplied over the years have weak bodies, frequently break down, and fail to meet the demands of their work. Mr. Antoh further revealed that the government pays significantly more for each motorbike than the prevailing market price, raising questions about procurement practices and value for money. He urged the government to consider providing funds directly to assembly members to purchase their own motorbikes or, alternatively, ensure that suppliers deliver stronger and more durable vehicles that can withstand regular use. According to the assembly members, improved mobility is crucial to effectively […]

The Director-General of the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC), Professor Ahmed Abdulai Jinapor, has rejected a two-week ultimatum from the lawyers of Deputy Minister of Health, Dr. Grace Ayensu-Danquah, over her use of the title “Professor.” Speaking on Joy FM’s Midday News, Prof. Jinapor criticized the ultimatum, accusing Dr. Ayensu-Danquah’s legal team of giving “poor advice” that has worsened the controversy.
