Nana Yaa Jantuah: DStv overpriced with outdated content

Nana Yaa Jantuah, a presidential staffer and former executive secretary of Ghana’s Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC), has strongly echoed calls for MultiChoice Ghana to cut its DStv subscription prices—arguing that the current fees are unjustified and the content increasingly stale and outdated. Speaking on JoyNews’ AM Show on August 5, 2025, she declared: "They should reduce their prices because their content is even horrible." She further added that besides African Magic programming, most foreign shows DStv airs are old, which falls short of expectations given its charges. Jantuah highlighted her own viewing habits: she keeps DStv at home solely for her male household members who enjoy it; otherwise, she'd prefer Netflix. In her view, DStv’s price point is disproportionate compared to the perceived value of its offerings. Her comments come amid mounting political pressure led by the Minister of […]

John Boadu alleges NDC condemned galamsey publicly, endorsed privately

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has faced allegations from its critics for publicly condemning galamsey—illegal small-scale mining—while secretly failing to take firm action in government, effectively endorsing the menace in private, according to political insiders and minority lawmakers. Although there is no record of General Secretary Johnson Asiedu Nketiah or other NDC frontline figures directly admitting this, the accusation is rooted in a broader critique of hypocrisy and policy failure as Ghana struggles with escalating environmental damage. The Minority in Parliament, acting through Ranking Member Kwaku Ampratwum-Sarpong, sharply condemned the government—led by NDC—as engaging in a “grand deception.” Despite publicly decrying galamsey, the Minority claims the administration has, in reality, allowed the crisis to deepen through inaction and selective enforcement. They claim that at least GHS 50 million was allocated in the 2025 budget for anti-galamsey efforts, yet measures remain mostly symbolic […]

Miracles Aboagye urges gov’t to deliver the promised cocoa price

Dennis Miracles Aboagye, an aide to former Vice-President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has issued a heartfelt plea to the government to honour its campaign promise of GH₵6,000 per tonne and ensure cocoa farmers receive fair payment for their labour. Speaking on Channel One TV on August 6, 2025, he described the price of GH₵3,228.75 per 64 kg bag—equivalent to US $5,040 per tonne—as grossly inadequate, urging authorities to “give them what you promised them”. Miracles Aboagye emphasised that farmers endure hardship, disease, and income uncertainty long before their beans reach international buyers. He called for a non-partisan approach, stressing that cocoa pricing must transcend party rhetoric: “Forget about NPP” and focus on the farmers’ well‑being. While the new producer price represents a 62.6% increase from the previous US $3,100/tonne rate, it fulfills only part of the 70% FOB (Free‑on‑Board) policy the government cited in setting […]

GWL reveals 73 million gallons lost daily in Accra

The Managing Director of Ghana Water Limited (GWL), Adam Mutawakilu, has sounded a stark alarm: the company is losing a staggering 73 million gallons of treated water every single day—equivalent to half of what is produced in the Greater Accra Region. Speaking on the Citi Breakfast Show on August 6, 2025, Mutawakilu disclosed that although 140 million gallons are produced daily, only 67 million gallons can be accounted for by the utility—leaving a massive, unexplained deficit. This crisis is compounded nationwide: GWL reports that only 48% of its total water production is accounted for through legitimate channels, meaning more than half is lost to a combination of theft, illegal connections, tampering with meters, and faulty infrastructure. Mutawakilu characterized the situation as “very terrible,” warning that persistent losses are “undermining the company’s ability to fund operations or sustain service delivery”. A […]

Deputy Trade Minister calls 1D1F a failure and white‑elephant scheme

The Deputy Minister for Trade, Agribusiness & Industry, Sampson Ahi, has delivered a candid assessment of Ghana’s One‑District‑One‑Factory (1D1F) programme, branding it a failure and warning that many of its projects have degenerated into “white elephants”—facilities built but never delivering meaningful production or employment. During a radio interview in early April 2025, Ahi rejected claims by the previous administration that the scheme still had vitality. Instead, he argued that structural flaws—especially chronic shortages of raw materials and capital—had rendered most 1D1F factories virtually non-functional. He pointed to Bokaso’s rice processing factory as emblematic of the problem: the plant was constructed under 1D1F but has rarely processed even a single tonne of rice—due to lack of supply. Similarly, Minister Elizabeth Ofosu‑Adjare confirmed to Parliament in July that the government had officially cancelled the 1D1F programme, and that none of its incentives […]

CID launches special task force to curb stolen vehicle influx

The Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service has launched a special intelligence-led task force to clamp down on vehicles stolen overseas and smuggled into Ghana, as part of a broader crackdown on organized transnational car theft syndicates. At a press briefing on August 4, 2025, CID Director-General COP Lydia Yaako Donkor underscored the urgency of the operation, revealing that criminal groups were routinely exploiting international car rental services—particularly in Canada—to rent luxury vehicles using fake or stolen identities, ship them abroad while the rental agreements remained valid, and then default on payments before cutting off contact with rental companies. So far, the task force has impounded six vehicles believed to have been rented fraudulently and shipped into Ghana. The seized models include four Toyota Tundras, one Toyota RAV4, and one Range Rover, all traced back to Canadian […]

Kevin Taylor faces GH¢2.95m defamation judgment enforcement

Kevin Taylor, the social media activist behind Loud Silence Media, is now facing enforcement of a GH¢2.95 million defamation judgment, after the Accra High Court granted lawyer Ace Anan Ankomah permission to use substituted service—a one-time page in the Daily Graphic—to serve notices related to the default verdict. The judgment stems from a 2020 ruling that Taylor made false allegations claiming that Ankomah was part of a clandestine plot involving a Dubai-based firm and top members of the NPP government to discredit Nana Appiah Mensah (NAM1), CEO of the Menzgold company. Taylor’s absence at multiple court proceedings left Justices no choice but to issue a default judgment, awarding a total of GH¢2.95 million against him and Loud Silence: GH¢2 million for general damages, GH¢500,000 aggravated, GH¢400,000 in special damages for reputation loss, and GH¢50,000 in legal costs. The court also […]

Vehicle prices in Ghana expected to fall in 2026

The Automobile Dealers Union of Ghana (ADUG) has forecast that vehicle prices may fall significantly by 2026, citing a combination of strong macroeconomic trends that suggest the current high pricing environment could ease before the end of next year. ADUG’s July 31 statement notes two key drivers: the Bank of Ghana’s historic 300‑basis‑point cut in the Monetary Policy Rate (MPR)—from 28% to 25%—which lowers borrowing costs, and a marked strengthening of the Ghanaian cedi against the US dollar, which reduces import expenses. These fundamentals have prompted cautious optimism among car dealers, even as they warn that current stock remains tied to past exchange‑rate levels, limiting near‑term price cuts. Why 2026—and not now? About 90% of vehicles in Ghana are imported second‑hand units, and most were acquired when the cedi was much weaker (often above GH¢18/USD). As a result, many dealers […]

UNICEF Ghana urges legal and systemic support for breastfeeding

UNICEF Ghana joined the global community in observing World Breastfeeding Week (1–7 August 2025)—this year themed “Breastfeeding: Building Systems for Lifelong Health”—issuing a renewed call for sustainable support frameworks and stronger legal protections to ensure mothers can initiate and continue breastfeeding safely. Exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months is globally recommended by UNICEF and WHO, yet in Ghana only 52.6% of infants under six months are exclusively breastfed, while 41.8% of newborns are not breastfed within the first hour of life. Nationally, the median duration of exclusive breastfeeding stands at just 2.9 months, far short of the six-month recommendation. These figures vary sharply by region: in the Western North Region the average is just one month, while in the Savannah Region it reaches only 4.9 months. UNICEF Ghana reaffirmed that progress remains fragile and inequitable. More than half of […]

NAP beneficiaries to receive monthly stipends under new Ghana programme

In a bold move to ease financial barriers and boost completion rates, the Minister for Youth Development and Empowerment, George Opare Addo, announced that all beneficiaries of Ghana’s newly launched National Apprenticeship Programme (NAP) will receive monthly stipends throughout their hands-on training. The announcement came during the Government Accountability Series held at Jubilee House on August 4, 2025, where Mr Opare Addo emphasized that the stipend is more than just a financial incentive—it is intended to ensure that “unpaid chores and transport costs do not force capable youth to drop out”. NAP: New Skills, Monthly Support and Real-World Impact Launched by President John Dramani Mahama on April 30, 2025, in Tamale, the NAP is targeting 10,000 trainees across all 261 districts in its first phase (graphic.com.gh). With a GH¢300 million budget allocation, the programme is designed to cover both the […]
