Ghana raises cocoa farmgate price to GH¢3,228.75/bag (~US$5,040/t)

The Government of Ghana has unveiled a major revision to the cocoa producer price for the 2025/2026 season, announcing a jump from US $3,100 to US $5,040 per tonne—a 62.58% increase—in dollar terms, effective August 7, 2025, ahead of the new crop season’s opening. At an exchange rate of approximately GH¢10.25 = US $1, the new rate translates to GH¢51,660 per tonne, or GH¢3,228.75 per 64 kg bag—up from GH¢3,100 using the previous peg of GH¢16/US $1—marking a 4% local-currency rise but a dramatic increase when measured in foreign earnings. The decision was taken by the Producer Price Review Committee, chaired by Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, following stakeholder consultations and technical review. The revision realigns Ghana with President John Mahama’s pledge to pay farmers at least 70% of the FOB (Free-On-Board) value, estimated at around US $7,200/tonne for […]

Ghana Approves rCOMSDEP to Reform Mining, Create Jobs

The Government of Ghana, under the leadership of President John Dramani Mahama, has launched a sweeping new initiative—the Responsible Cooperative Mining and Skills Development Programme (rCOMSDEP)—intended to reshape the artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) sector while creating sustainable employment opportunities. Approved by Cabinet on August 4, 2025, rCOMSDEP combines the existing Community Mining Scheme (CMS) and the National Alternative Employment and Livelihood Programme (NAELP) into a single, integrated framework to deliver far-reaching economic, environmental, and social benefits. At its core, rCOMSDEP seeks to establish regulated, community-owned mining cooperatives across Ghana. These cooperatives will receive legal concessions, professional training in geological surveying and mine safety, as well as access to shared processing centres compliant with international standards—including mercury-free gold recovery technologies and water treatment systems. Health and environmental risk mitigation is a central emphasis of the programme. A major push area is […]

14 Arrested and 5 Discharged After Agona Abodom Chieftaincy Violence

The Central Regional Police Command has confirmed that 14 individuals have been arrested in connection with a recent chieftaincy dispute in Agona Abodom, with five victims of the violence treated and discharged from the hospital. The incident unfolded during the annual Akwanbo Festival when rival factions—fueled by the long-standing contest over the local stool—clashed in the farming community. According to Central Regional Deputy PRO Chief Inspector Isaac Entie, the police evacuated and provided medical care to five individuals who sustained injuries, all of whom have since been discharged. The suspects, including their alleged leader Akwesi Asare, were transferred to Accra to assist in investigations. This confrontation is linked to an earlier violent clash that left four people dead and dozens injured, with extensive property damage reported—including vandalism to two vehicles and the chief’s palace furnishings.

ARCC Rejects Military Withdrawal in Tontokrom Mining Dispute

The Ashanti Regional Coordinating Council (ARCC) has officially rejected all calls to remove military and police forces stationed in Tontokrom, deep inside the Amansie South District, while a long-standing dispute over a mining concession remains unresolved. In a statement issued on August 2, 2025, ARCC declared the deployment necessary to maintain order amid escalating tensions between Asanko Gold Ghana Ltd. and local youth mining illegally on contested land. Traditional authorities, district officials, and residents had earlier demanded that security forces withdraw immediately; ARCC refused, citing the risk of violent clashes without adequate supervision. Located near Manso Tontokrom town in the Amansie South District, the disputed concession has been the scene of recurring unrest. The Minerals Commission has never formally gazetted the land for large-scale mining, according to community leaders; they claim local residents have mined there for decades—long before Asanko […]

Ama Pratt Slams Critics on Veep’s Alleged Chartered Flight Use

The Press Secretary to the Vice President, Ama Pratt, has fiercely dismissed claims that Vice President Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang used a chartered private jet upon her return to Ghana, calling the speculation baseless and irrelevant. Speaking on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem show on August 1, 2025, Pratt stated there’s no confirmation a private jet was used—only that standard governmental travel protocols were followed. She questioned why critics are fixated on the flight type, especially given that the Vice President was on medical leave in the UK and recently returned home for service. “At the end of the day, our Vice President was sick […] she returned home to serve. What did they expect her to come with?” Pratt probed. She noted that critics who previously supported extravagant charter flights now object to a flight reportedly “without a bath”—calling for […]

Agyapong Says Party Used His Words Against Him Over ’10 Sins’

Former NPP flagbearer hopeful Kennedy Agyapong revealed that he stayed silent during a critical phase of the last campaign because his own party weaponized his past criticisms of the NDC—calling them his “10 sins”—to undermine his presidential ambition. Agyapong explained that remarks once celebrated when directed at the opposition became political liabilities when he sought office. Party insiders reportedly flagged these as sins, prompting him to apologize publicly to President John Mahama as tensions mounted. In humor-laced reflection. Agyapong likened the labels to the Biblical Ten Commandments and joked that he refused to let people add an eleventh or twelfth “sin” to his name—leading to his deliberate campaign silence.

Akyem Boadua Queen Mother Calls for Peace Ahead of Akwatia Vote

The Queen Mother of Akyem Boadua in the Denkyembour District of the Eastern Region, Obaapanin Akua Bosompemaa Kyeraa, has called for peaceful conduct ahead of the Akwatia parliamentary by-election, scheduled for later this month. In her address on August 1, 2025, she urged residents, political parties, and security agencies to cooperate to ensure a free, fair, and transparent electoral process, stressing that harmony is central to safeguarding Ghana’s democratic norms and fostering national development. She appealed for unity and mutual responsibility among stakeholders, noting that every voter, party, and official shares in electoral outcomes. Her appeal comes amid rising tensions following the death of NPP MP Ernest Yaw Kumi in July, which triggered the by-election. Concurrently, the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC) has also warned against election-related violence, urging preemptive security deployment—especially given recent unrest during reruns in constituencies […]

Ilorin Islamic Cleric Sentenced to Death for Ritual Student Murder

The Kwara State High Court in Ilorin has sentenced Islamic cleric Abdulrahman Mohad (also known as Mohammed A. Bello) to death by hanging for the ritual murder of Hafsoh Lawal Yetunde, a final-year student at the Kwara State College of Education. The victim, aged 24, disappeared after answering a phone call during a naming ceremony on February 10, 2025, and was later found dead—having been killed and dismembered for ritual purposes. Investigators traced the last call on her phone to Mohad, who confessed to belonging to an occult group and carrying out the crime. The presiding judge, Justice Hannah Ajayi, condemned the act as an extreme case of human wickedness and rejected Mohad’s defense claims as fabricated. Four co-defendants were acquitted due to insufficient evidence linking them to the offense. This ruling represents a rare execution-level conviction in Nigeria, underscoring […]
