Afenyo‑Markin Alleges DRIP Machinery Used for Galamsey

On July 14, 2025, Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo‑Markin told Parliament that machines meant for the District Road Improvement Project (DRIP) are being hijacked for galamsey, with the government turning a blind eye to the misuse. What He Said The DRIP machinery, intended to build and repair roads, is being used illegally in mining pits. He accused authorities of doing nothing to stop this, describing it as blatant impunity. He warned that this theft of state property worsens environmental destruction and threatens Ghana’s economic recovery through agriculture. Why This Matters Public property theft: DRIP is funded by taxpayers and donors. Misusing the equipment undermines public trust.

Environmental damage works directly against that goal. MP’s Call to Action Afenyo‑Markin urged […]

Law to Regulate Shipping Charges in Pipeline

On July 15, 2025, Professor Ransford Gyampo, Acting CEO of the Ghana Shippers’ Authority (GSA), announced plans to introduce a Legislative Instrument (L.I.) under the newly enacted Act. This instrument will legally empower the Authority to oversee and approve or reject shipping line charges, aimed at stopping arbitrary fee hikes and protecting traders and consumers.

Approval Authority Charges will be reviewed and either approved or rejected; shipping lines are prohibited from implementing fees without prior authorization . Pending approval, demurrage fees must be suspended, with the Authority stepping in to prevent illegal billing. Resistance and Enforcement Some shipping lines have resisted regulation, but Prof. Gyampo emphasized that non-compliance will not deter GSA from enforcing the law. Broader Legal and […]

Ghana Link Refutes Claims of Broken‑Down Scanners at KIA

On July 14, 2025, Ghana Link Network Services Ltd., which operates the Integrated Customs Management System (ICUMS) at Kotoka International Airport’s Cargo Village, publicly denied reports that its scanners had failed—reports which claimed that only sniffer dogs were being used to inspect goods. Core Clarification Ghana Link stated categorically that all five scanners are fully operational and maintained: four Smiths Heimann models for exports and one Rapiscan Eagle A25 for imports. The company emphasised that, however, sniffer dogs are used occasionally as supplemental screening, based on credible intelligence by the Narcotics Control Commission—not due to scanner breakdowns. Standard Operating Procedure Ghana Link clarified the standard workflow: Inbound cargo moves directly from aircraft to scanners before customs clearance. Outbound cargo undergoes document checks, mandatory scanning, secure storage, and then loading. Sniffer dog deployment occurs selectively, based on specific intelligence—never as a substitute for […]
