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.

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 […]

Titus‑Glover Accuses EC of Fueling Rerun Confusion

On July 14, 2025, former Greater Accra Regional Minister Daniel Nii Kwartei Titus‑Glover publicly accused the Electoral Commission (EC) of sowing confusion by unexpectedly expanding the Ablekuma North parliamentary rerun from three to nineteen polling stations, undermining the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) confidence in contesting the election. Focus Keyword Titus‑Glover accuses EC of fueling confusion in Ablekuma North rerun Core Allegations Titus‑Glover claimed the NPP initially chose not to contest because NPP candidate Nana Akua Afriyie had “clearly won” the December 2024 vote and feared that the mid-rerun shift from three to nineteen stations suggested that key evidence had been tampered with. He highlighted the inconsistency: "If the NDC knew they had won, why destroy evidence?" adding that the party’s eventual decision to participate was spurred by Afriyie’s conviction—but labelled the EC’s role as disruptive and unhelpful to the electoral process.
