Ghana Prisons Service Explains Amnesty Selection Process

The Ghana Prisons Service has clarified the detailed and rigorous procedures used in granting amnesty to inmates, emphasizing that the initiative is not arbitrary but based on strict evaluation. In an interview with Adom News, the Public Relations Officer (PRO), Chief Superintendent Abdul Latif, explained that a dedicated committee of medical professionals and prison officials thoroughly screens candidates before any amnesty is approved. Chief Supt. Latif outlined that the evaluation process considers three key factors: Health Status – Medical professionals assess whether an inmate’s health condition warrants early release. Behavior in Prison – Prison officials review conduct, rehabilitation progress, and evidence of reform.

PAC Orders OHCS to Refund GH¢175k in Audit Probe

The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of Parliament has directed the Office of the Head of the Civil Service (OHCS) to refund GH¢175,000 within 30 days into the recovery accounts of the Auditor-General (AG). This follows the OHCS’s failure to provide payment vouchers covering the said amount during the 2024 audit. During its sitting last Tuesday, the PAC, chaired by Abena Osei-Asare, emphasized that failure to provide documentation was a recurring issue in OHCS audits. She stressed the need for immediate reforms to ensure compliance and prevent future infractions. “Failure to show documentation runs through all the infractions you have been cited for,” Mrs. Osei-Asare said. The PAC insisted that the GH¢175,000 must be refunded, citing long-established accountability protocols, despite OHCS later presenting partial acquittals without the required supporting documents. The PAC session examined the 2024 Auditor-General’s Report, which flagged multiple […]

Health Minister Defends Handshake with Activist

Ghana’s Minister of Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, has defended his decision to shake hands with Ralph St. William, the social media activist accused of assaulting a health worker at the Greater Accra Regional Hospital.

Fake Diapers Seized and Destroyed in Kumasi

A major consignment of counterfeit diapers has been seized and destroyed in Kumasi by the Ashanti Regional Security Liaison, following intelligence-led operations by National Security.
