“The IGP is trying to disgrace you” – Pampaso Chief tells Mahama 

Okyeame Gyamfi, the Chief of Kumasi Pampaso, has sent a strong warning to President John Dramani Mahama over the conduct of the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Christian Tetteh Yohuno.

According to the Pampaso Chief, IGP Yohuno is trying to disgrace President John Mahama with his involvement in Pampaso Palace lands under Otumfuo.

The Chief cautioned President John Mahama to tell the IGP to stay away from  the ongoing land dispute between the Pampaso Palace lands under Otumfuo and the Kumasi Central Police Station.

Speaking in a video shared by Abusua FM on TikTok, the Chief of Kumasi Pampaso stated, “I want John Mahama to know that we fought hard before he became President of Ghana, so I want him to invite the IGP because he is trying to disgrace him. I am not happy with what the IGP is doing.

“How can we come to the palace and be surrounded by police officers? What crime have we committed? This is the place where the Asantehene swears his oath before we all recognise him as Asantehene,” he said.

“Do they want the sword, or do they think this is a place where just anybody, including prostitutes, can walk in freely? That will never happen. Tell the IGP that Pampaso Okyeame Gyamfi says we are not happy with what he is doing.

“This is a palace. He does not own any land here, and we are unhappy with his actions,” he added.

In related news, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has government appointees against using political power to interfere in chieftaincy matters.

According to the Otumfuo, power is transient, and government appointees must stay out of chieftaincy matters.

The Outumfuo expressed concern over disregard for judicial decisions in communities such as Sampa, Nkyeraa, Amantim, and parts of Asante Akyem, where rival claimants continue to assert authority.

Speaking at a meeting of the Asanteman Council on Monday, April 20, 2026, Otumfuo stated, “Your government is in power, so you think you can do whatever you please. Know that power is transient. Of course, you can go ahead and use that power for whatever you want now”.

“There is a court ruling in favour of Amantimhene, yet someone is exerting his authority as chief, resisting the legitimate chief. The same is taking place in Nkyeraa, which has been adopted as a Divisional Council in the House of Chiefs,” he said.

Otumfuo added, “Despite court rulings, an Ivorian is in Sampa carrying himself out as a royal and chief. Sampahene Gyafla will not die. The town belongs to him, and he will assume his rightful authority.”

He further recounted the legacy of historic figures such as Tweneboa Koduah and Yaa Asantewaa. Otumfuo urged traditional leaders to defend the dignity of the kingdom.

“Why are our men sitting aloof for two people in Bono to misbehave? You are all waiting for Otumfuo to act. We are all silent. You want to protect your names… Now we have all turned into women,” he added.

NITA Bill 2025, the biggest anti-tech bill Ghana has seen in years – Lawyer

Lawyer Hubert Tieku Esq has described the National Information Technology Agency’s (NITA) bill as the biggest anti-tech bill Ghana has seen in years.

He disclosed that the bill seeks to tax IT  companies on revenue, Jail unlicensed tech founders for up to 10 YEARS, and restricts IT licences to companies wholly owned by Ghanaians.

Hubert Tieku Esq argued that the move will drive away potential foreign investment to other African countries like Rwanda & Kenya.

In a post shared by Hubert Tieku Esq, he wrote, The NITA Bill 2025 mandates EVERY IT worker in Ghana licensed before they can work, even in private companies.

It also:

  • Taxes IT companies on revenue (not profit)
  • Jails unlicensed tech founders for up to 10 YEARS
  • restricts IT licences to companies wholly owned by Ghanaians, potentially driving away foreign investment to other African countries like Rwanda & Kenya.

The Bill does many other awful and archaic things

This may be the biggest anti-tech bill Ghana has seen in years”.

Also, the NITA bill, being considered by parliament, has been described as dangerous, which could lead to the killing of Ghanaian tech startups if passed into law.

The bill seeks to decide who can build Ghana’s digital future, who can work in it, and who can go to prison for touching a keyboard without permission.

Section 35 of the NITA bill says you cannot “engage in a business or related activity in the ICT sector” without a licence from NITA.

In a detailed post shared by BlackStarPatriot on X, he wrote, “Parliament is about to vote on a bill that decides who can build Ghana’s digital future, who can work in it, and who can go to prison for touching a keyboard without permission. This is the real threat picture in the NITA Bill.

Section 35 says you cannot “engage in a business or related activity in the ICT sector” without a licence from NITA. That sweeps in everyone from a one person dev shop in Kumasi to a cloud provider in Accra. Operate without a licence and the law treats you as a criminal, not a startup.

The penalty is not a slap on the wrist. The bill puts fines of 2,000 to 5,000 penalty units and up to two years in prison on the table for running an unlicensed ICT business. We are not talking about fraud or cybercrime. We are talking about writing code and shipping products without a government permission slip.

Now add section 46. No public or private institution can appoint an “ICT professional” unless that person is certified by NITA. If you run a fintech, a hospital, a logistics startup or even a church IT desk, every systems admin and developer is supposed to queue for one Authority’s certificate before you can legally hire them.

Layer section 90 on top. Providing ICT services without a valid licence, or claiming to be a certified professional when you are not, carries the same criminal penalties. You have just turned self taught devs and student freelancers into a compliance risk that can carry jail time.

Section 37 closes the trap. Only Ghanaian citizens and entities “wholly owned” by citizens may even apply for ICT licences. That is not gentle local content. It is a full lockout of foreign or mixed ownership from the licensed ICT space. The same government that markets Ghana as a digital hub is writing “locals only” into law.

If you have ever sat in a combat information center or a continuity/control war room, you know what this kind of design does. You create a single point of failure by handing one Authority control over who can operate, who can work, and who can be punished. When that Authority is slow, captured or simply wrong, the whole ecosystem pays the recovery cost.

NITA should exist. We need standards for public ICT, a national digital architecture, and real oversight of critical systems. What we do not need is a digital command economy where every ICT business and professional sits behind a gate that opens only when a central office says so.

A sane fix is on the table. Limit compulsory licences to clearly defined critical infrastructure. Limit compulsory certification to people working on those systems. Replace the citizens-only rule with minimum local equity plus strong local content and skills transfer. Strip criminal penalties out of ordinary licensing failures.

If Parliament passes the bill in its current form, the recovery time for the damage will be measured in years of lost investment and talent flight. The House still has a window to correct course. MPs on the Communications Committee should not treat this as another routine bill. It is a structural change to how Ghana’s digital economy lives or dies”.

Meanwhile, NITA issued a press statement on May 22, 2026, disclosing that the proposed NITA Bill seeks to modernise Ghana’s digital governance architecture in response to emerging technologies and cybersecurity concerns.

NITA, in the statement, acknowledged concerns raised by technology startups, young entrepreneurs and innovation-focused businesses regarding affordability and the possible impact of the fees on digital innovation.

They described those concerns as legitimate, adding that government remained open to constructive stakeholder engagement on fee calibration, phased implementation, startup exemptions, SME protections and innovation incentives.

NITA, however, cautioned against inaccurate claims portraying existing regulatory instruments as unconstitutional.

“Public discourse on digital governance is welcome and necessary,” the statement concluded.

“However, such discourse must remain grounded in legal accuracy, constitutional facts and responsible civic engagement.”

Watch Ex-armed robber expose how Ghana’s biggest criminal network operates

An ex-armed robber in a viral video has exposed how Ghana’s biggest criminal network operates.

According to the ex-armed robber, they do not even know their boss’s home or family.  

He disclosed that before one joins an authentic criminal group, they will open an ethics book for you to know the dos and don’ts, adding that a new person joining the network is made to bring an image of his or her love and location before joining the group.

Speaking in an interview shared on TikTok, the Ex-armed robber narrated, “The one who sponsors us, you can work with him for 20 years, you will never know their wife or children. They know the work is dangerous, you will only get to know their girlfried even with that, unless you are close to him.

Even with the house where we held our meetings, the documents of the house are not in their name; they use different names. He gets to the meeting ground with a lot of people with numerous cares before you will get there, so you will not even know the car he drove to the meeting. They are experts.

If you are arrested and you want to expose him without concrete evidence, he will even bribe people to kill you in prison. They are experts with connections”.

He further added, “When you get there, they open an ethics book for you, which shows the rules and regulations. When you join the authentic criminal group, they will tell you to bring one of your family members whom you love picture and the location before you will be accepted, so any mistake you make, they will go after your loved one”.

The Ex-armed robber also disclosed that the boss of the group will also conduct a background check on you while you are working for them.

He added, “Every former criminal, if you like, interrogate them, they will not reveal their master, because they know you will take them to court, and even if they die, their squad will take revenge for their death”.

The Ex-armed robber added that before one joins the criminal group, they are tortured to know how it feels when they are caught by the Police.

“They can electrify you, and tell you that the Police can do this to you ten times for you to vomit the truth”.

In related news, a former notorious armed robber has shared chilling details about one of his robbery operations.

The ex-armed robber, during the interview, revealed the tactics and motivations behind his criminal past.

He further recounted the dangers they faced and the lessons learned after turning away from crime in the emotional interview.

In the viral video on X, the ex-armed robber revealed that they robbed a woman of her money successfully, but one of his associates shot the victim’s child.

Speaking during the interview, he recounted, “We went into a house to steal. We saw the money just like the intel we got, and it was packed in a medium jute bag. I was the captain leading the robbery team. After we successfully got hold of the money, one of my people shot the leg of the victim’s child, breaching our orders. Before we proceed into the houses, we give orders to our team members not to fire their guns or shoot unless something happens”.

“The woman began crying and calling out the name of God. Due to that, I felt pity for her and informed my team to leave the money behind. That even became an argument among us.

I still can’t explain why it happened that way, even though I am a spiritual person. My boss ended up suspending me for six months,” he added.

He further revealed the tactics behind his criminal past, “When we monitor the house to see there’s a vehicle or we get intel that there’s money in the house, we storm there at night to operate.

We carry along a big cutter used by steam burners to cut through the burglar-proofing mostly in the estates. Once we cut through the burglar-proofing, we get easy access to the apartments because most people don’t lock their rooms at night.

The ex-notorious armed robber continued, “So, we study the rooms to identify which ones have noises or which ones have people who are asleep. We go straight to the master bedroom with a gun, and we round up the people in the room and tie them up. People who prove stubborn are given a knife cut because sometimes we mostly don’t intend to kill them.

We also shoot them in the knee or thigh since we know it won’t kill them. We do that so they can lead us to where the money is kept in the house. We also threatened them with the lives of their wives and children just to get them to bring out their valuables,” he explained.

Ghana’s NITA Bill 2025: How a gov’t that cannot fix potholes wants to certify your keyboard strokes

There is a particular brand of Ghanaian governance that operates on a simple, well-rehearsed logic: identify the one sector in which ordinary young people, without connections, without family money, without a politician uncle, are actually building something for themselves, and then erect a magnificent bureaucratic tollbooth right in the middle of it.

The National Information Technology Authority Bill, 2025 currently making its way through Ghana’s legislative machinery with the quiet confidence of a document probably written by a majority of people who have never debugged a line of code in their lives  is precisely that tollbooth. It is, in its 105 sections and accompanying Schedule, one of the most breathtaking exercises in regulatory overreach this country has produced in recent memory. And given our regulatory track record, that is genuinely saying something.

The ICT sector is the one industry where a boy from Ashaiman, or, like my friend from Pulima, Aliu Wahab, with a second-hand laptop and a YouTube tutorial, can compete with someone whose father went to Achimota. It is the one space where talent, not tribe; skill, not surname; output, not old-boy network, still carries meaningful weight. It is, bluntly, the only functioning meritocracy left in Ghana’s economic life.

And our government, with the NITA Bill 2025 has decided that this is precisely the sector that requires the most elaborate regulatory architecture since the tale of Moses coming down from Sinai with the Ten Commandments.

The Absurdity of Section 46: Certifying Everyone, Everywhere, Always

Let us begin with what is, without competition, the most extraordinary provision in this bill. Section 46(1) states, in plain and unambiguous terms:

“A person shall not be appointed as an ICT professional in a public or private institution unless that person is certified by the Authority.”

Read that again. Public or private.

This is not a provision that limits itself to government systems handling national security data. This is not a narrow carve-out for critical infrastructure. This is a provision that means the software developer at a startup in Osu, the data analyst at a logistics firm in Tema, the web designer freelancing from her bedroom in Kumasi, all of them, every single one  must first obtain certification from a government authority before they can lawfully be employed.

Who dreamed this up? Under what theory of governance does it make sense for the government of Ghana which cannot consistently process a DVLA licence within six months, which spent years and hundreds of millions on a national identification system that still cannot talk to the health insurance database to position itself as the certifying gatekeeper for an entire profession across the entire economy?

And here is the delicious irony that the framers of this bill seem constitutionally incapable of perceiving: the government’s own ICT record is the single most compelling argument against giving it certification authority over anyone. You do not hand the keys of the wine cellar to the person who has been drinking the wine.

Politicians: The One Profession That Needs Certification Most, and Gets It Least

Since we are on the subject of certification, let us pause to consider who in this country is not required to demonstrate any competence whatsoever before being handed consequential power over millions of lives.

A Member of Parliament faces no certification requirement. A District Chief Executive faces no certification requirement. A minister  including the very Minister responsible for Communications and Digital Technology who will exercise sweeping powers under this bill faces no certification requirement. A president who will assent to this legislation, who will appoint the board, who will set policy direction for the entire ICT ecosystem, faces no certification requirement beyond winning an election.

These are the people who design the economic policies that determine whether businesses survive. These are the people who approve budgets, execute procurement, negotiate international agreements, and occasionally with great fanfare and very little technical understanding announce digital transformation programmes that quietly expire before the next election cycle. They craft the policies that affect every single Ghanaian citizen. They make decisions with consequences that dwarf anything an ICT professional will ever be responsible for.

And yet it is the developer, the systems administrator, the cybersecurity analyst — people whose professional errors, at worst, bring down a website  who must be certified by the Authority.

The logic here is not merely inverted. It is upside down, inside out, and spinning.

The 1% Gross Revenue Levy: A Tax Dressed in Regulatory Clothing

Section 23(d) of the bill provides that the funds of the Authority shall include “one percent (1%) of regulatory fees on gross revenue of all ICT businesses.”

Gross revenue. Not profit. Gross revenue.

For those unfamiliar with how businesses particularly technology startups and small ICT firms actually operate: gross revenue is the top-line figure before costs, salaries, infrastructure expenses, server fees, software licences, and everything else is deducted. Many technology businesses, particularly in their early and growth stages, operate on thin or negative margins precisely because they are reinvesting in growth.

A levy on gross revenue means a company that turns over GHS 1 million but makes GHS 50,000 in profit will pay GHS 10,000 to the Authority — effectively handing over 20% of its profit to fund the bureaucratic apparatus that regulates it. A company that is loss-making but growing will still pay, because it has revenue. This is not a regulatory fee. This is a tax. And it is a particularly poorly designed one, targeted at exactly the stage of business development, early growth, where businesses are most vulnerable and most in need of breathing room.

Meanwhile, the bill simultaneously establishes an e-government ICT infrastructure company under Section 31 — a state-owned entity that will compete directly with the private sector while the same Authority that licenses private competitors also oversees the public company. The regulator creating and supervising its own commercial competitor. In any serious regulatory jurisdiction, this would be called a conflict of interest. In Ghana, we apparently call it governance.

Licensing Absurdities: Citizens Only Need Apply

Section 37 of the bill restricts licence eligibility to Ghanaian citizens aged 18 and above, or companies “wholly owned by a citizen.”

Wholly owned. Not majority-owned. Not substantially Ghanaian-controlled. Wholly owned.

In a global digital economy where technology firms raise capital internationally, form joint ventures with foreign partners, attract diaspora investment, and participate in multinational development programmes, this provision would disqualify the vast majority of serious technology companies from operating in Ghana’s ICT

We are, at this very moment, competing with Rwanda, Kenya, and Senegal for ICT investment and for the continent’s emerging technology talent. Kigali has just become a regional headquarters for technology multinationals. Nairobi’s Silicon Savannah attracts billions in venture capital. Dakar is building digital infrastructure at a pace that would make Ghanaian planners blush.

And Ghana’s legislative response is to require that ICT licences be held only by wholly citizen-owned entities.

This is not economic nationalism. Economic nationalism, at least, is coherent. This is economic self-sabotage dressed in a flag.

The Licensing Regime: A Bureaucrat’s Paradise

Section 35 makes it an offence to “engage in a business or related activity in the ICT sector” without a licence. The penalty for doing so, under Section 35(4), ranges from a fine to two years’ imprisonment.

Two years’ imprisonment for running an unlicensed ICT business.

The definition of ICT under Section 102 is helpfully broad to the point of uselessness, covering essentially all digital hardware and software systems, all information systems, all cloud-based infrastructure, and all digital innovation platforms. In other words: almost everything any modern business does.

Read alongside Section 46 which requires certification of all ICT professionals in private institutions  and Section 35 which requires licensing for all ICT sector activity–what emerges is a picture in which it is essentially impossible to run any technology-adjacent business in Ghana without first obtaining the Authority’s blessing, paying its fees, and surviving its inspection regime.

The bill even requires, under Section 52, that public institutions obtain technical clearance from the Authority before undertaking any major ICT procurement. Given that the Authority itself has not yet demonstrated the capacity to deliver consistent, competent, well-governed ICT services in its current form as NITA, the prospect of this body becoming the mandatory gatekeeper for all public ICT procurement should concern everyone who has ever watched a public sector ICT project dissolve into delay, litigation, and loss.

The Penalties: Maximum Punishment, Minimum Logic

The offences and penalties provisions of this bill deserve special attention for their creativity.

Under Section 42(2), transferring a licence without the Authority’s prior written approval attracts a fine of up to 200,000 penalty units or imprisonment of up to ten years, or both. Ten years. For an administrative licensing technicality involving the paperwork around a business transfer.

Under Section 93, where a body corporate commits an offence, every director, manager, officer, and shareholder is deemed to have committed the offence unless they can prove they exercised due diligence. This reversal of the burden of proof — treating corporate officers as guilty until they prove their own innocence — sits uncomfortably against every principle of criminal justice that Ghana’s legal system is supposed to uphold.

And Section 95(k) provides that anyone whose “gross negligence leads to data breaches or system failures” is liable to a fine of up to ten thousand penalty units or ten percent of annual turnover, whichever is higher, plus mandatory third-party audits.

Ten percent of annual turnover. For a cybersecurity incident. In an industry where breaches happen to the most sophisticated organisations in the world including governments, banks, and military institutions– the bill proposes to treat negligence-adjacent security failures as events warranting penalties that could existentially destroy a small company overnight.

This is not consumer protection. This is a regime under which the Authority accumulates enormous discretionary power to punish, and companies accumulate enormous incentives to avoid operating in Ghana altogether.

The Government’s ICT Competitor: Regulatory Capture Dressed as Public Interest

Perhaps the most structurally troubling provision in the entire bill is Section 31, which requires the Minister to incorporate a government-owned e-government ICT infrastructure company within six months of the Act coming into force.

The object of this company, per Section 32, includes managing government data centres, cloud hosting environments, national digital identity services, shared government systems, and enterprise software solutions.

This is, to put it plainly, a government-owned technology company that will offer services — hosting, cloud infrastructure, enterprise software that private ICT companies also offer, and in some cases, currently provide to the government.

The same Authority that licenses private ICT companies will conduct technical audits of this government company under Section 34. The same Authority whose funds come partly from levies on private ICT businesses will oversee a public company that competes with those same businesses for government contracts.

No serious regulatory framework anywhere in the world permits the regulator to simultaneously own and audit a commercial competitor to the entities it regulates. This is not a technical concern. It is a fundamental conflict that undermines the credibility of the entire regulatory architecture.

What This Bill Actually Does

The government of Ghana wants to create a powerful, well-funded authority with broad discretionary powers to license, certify, audit, fine, suspend, and imprison participants in the ICT sector. It wants to fund this authority partly through a levy on the gross revenue of the very businesses it regulates. It wants to simultaneously establish a government-owned company to compete in the same sector. And it wants to extend its certification requirement to private businesses that have no connection to government and no particular reason to submit to state oversight of their hiring decisions.

This is not a regulation designed to protect consumers, promote innovation, or ensure interoperability. This is a regulation designed to expand the state’s footprint into the one sector where the state has not yet managed to make itself indispensable.

There is nothing wrong with regulation per se. Thoughtful, proportionate, outcome-focused regulation of ICT infrastructure–particularly where it touches government systems, public data, and national security is legitimate and necessary. Ghana needs clear standards for government ICT procurement. It needs enforceable data protection mechanisms. It needs accountability for public digital projects that regularly go over budget and under-deliver.

But that is not this bill. This bill is a maximalist assertion of state authority dressed in the vocabulary of modern digital governance. It will burden the entrepreneurs who cannot afford compliance costs. It will advantage the incumbents who can. It will drive away foreign investment and talent. It will give a government agency enormous discretionary power with inadequate checks. And it will do all of this while the politicians who designed it remain, as ever, the one professional class in Ghana that answers to no certification board, no licensing authority, and no competency standard of any kind.

If the government of Ghana is genuinely serious about regulating for public benefit, perhaps it might begin with a simple pilot programme: certify Parliament first.

Show us that works, and we will talk about certifying the developers.

Surely, Hon. Samuel Nartey George and his people have to look at the compass again and change navigation.

Phone repairers, software developers without a license could spend up to 10yrs in jail, NITA’s new bill

The National Information Technology Agency’s (NITA) new bill has proposed a jail term for Phone repairers and software developers without a license.

According to the NITA Bill 2025 cited, proposed a 10-year jail term for Phone repairers and software developers without a license.

NITA disclosed that the bill aims to address issues including artificial intelligence, cloud infrastructure, digital identity ecosystems, cross-border digital transactions and digital trust services.

According to them, the legislative process remained transparent and constitutionally compliant, adding that the bill is still undergoing stakeholder consultations, would require Cabinet consideration, Attorney-General review, parliamentary scrutiny under Article 106 of the Constitution and eventual presidential assent before becoming enforceable law.

Meanwhile, NITA issued a press statement on May 22, 2026, disclosing that the proposed NITA Bill seeks to modernise Ghana’s digital governance architecture in response to emerging technologies and cybersecurity concerns.

NITA, in the statement, acknowledged concerns raised by technology startups, young entrepreneurs and innovation-focused businesses regarding affordability and the possible impact of the fees on digital innovation.

They described those concerns as legitimate, adding that government remained open to constructive stakeholder engagement on fee calibration, phased implementation, startup exemptions, SME protections and innovation incentives.

NITA, however, cautioned against inaccurate claims portraying existing regulatory instruments as unconstitutional.

“Public discourse on digital governance is welcome and necessary,” the statement concluded.

“However, such discourse must remain grounded in legal accuracy, constitutional facts and responsible civic engagement.”

Cracks in NDC as Haruna Iddrisu mocks Asiedu Nketiah over “Thank you tour”

The NDC flagbeareship race is already heating up, with President John Mahama barely in his second year in office, with cracks already emerging within the ruling NDC government.

Haruna Iddrisu, the Minister of Education, in a video that has gone viral on X, was seen mocking the National Democratic Congress (NDC) National Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, over his ongoing “Thank You” tour.

According to Haruna Iddrisu, President John Mahama’s ‘Thank You Tour’ is the proper one, not Asiedu Nketia’s curtain raiser one ‘Thank You Tour’.  

Speaking in Sawla in the Savannah Region on Friday, May 22, 2026, Haruna Iddrisu remarked, “I recall when President Mahama came for his thank you tour, not the other thank you tour, the proper thank you tour of President Mahama as President and flagbearer.”

He added, “What cannot be said? We can say it. A proper thank you tour of President Mahama, not the curtain-raiser one.”

Haruna Iddrisu’s comment drew laughter from the audience whom he was addressing.

Netizens reacting to the comments by Haruna Iddrisu stated, “This man has just shot himself in the foot because he will make people start visiting his archives, especially in President Atta Mills’ regime, and it is not going to be good for him. Picking a fight with the chairman is digging ur own grave. This is needless and low of his standard”.

A netizen added, “I’ve always said if Asiedu Nketiah makes himself up to contest for the flagbearership position, the damage it will cause will be more than what we saw in NPP”.

“U alone have at most the northern section of the country, and behaving like this will only make you lose more, especially in the Akan-dominated areas”, one X user added.

Also, Kwesi Pratt Jnr, a Veteran journalist and political commentator, has said he feels very sad for President John Dramani Mahama.

According to Kwesi Pratt, the betrayal of President John Dramani Mahama is monumental.

He recounted that President Mahama came to solve Ghana’s problems, but many of the people he appointed do not care about the Reset Agenda.

Kwesi Pratt highlighted that President Mahama is being politically undermined by people within his own government who are more focused on succeeding him.

Meanwhile, Mustapha Gbande, the Deputy General Secretary for the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), has dropped an explosive bombshell concerning the relationship between the John Mahama government and the NDC party.

According to Mustapha Gbande, the relationship between the NDC and the John Mahama government is not the best. 

He disclosed that since the NDC won back power, the relationship between the party and the government has been strained. 

Speaking on Channel 1 TV, Mustapha Gbande stated, “The last time I checked, the national chairman said he was doing his thank-you tour. My opinion has always been that we could have done it together, but the national chairman is doing it because everyone is busy doing something else.

As stakeholders, since we won elections, the relationship between the party and the government hasn’t been the best, and it is not about jobs. I am saying the relationship between the party and the government to ensure that we succeed together has not been the best”.

Mustapha Gbande acknowledged that the strained relationship may not be deliberate since the government had a lot to do after taking over power,

He, however, stressed that the danger is that they are leaving the party behind, and as the officer in charge of operations, “I am concerned that we have to go back into conclave and assess what we have done and what we have not done so that we move,” he said.

Mustapha Gbande stressed that some elders of the political party have decided to be silent, which is not a good thing for the party.

“We have elders of the party, and we need to run back to them because they have decided to keep quiet and that is dangerous for every political party. So should want to bring everybody back, sit as a party and government, move concurrently and make sure we succeed together,” he stated.

Asiedu Nketiah details how Haruna Iddrisu and Muntaka landed BIG positions in Mahama gov’t

Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Chairman, has disclosed that he played a key role in the appointment of Haruna Iddrisu and Mohammed Mubarak as ministers.  

According to Johnson Asiedu Nketia, he told President Mahama they cannot ignore Muntaka and Haruna in setting up our government, adding that they need big positions.

He disclosed that President Mahama agreed with him and gave them the positions of Education Minister and Interior Minister, respectively.

Speaking in Tamale on Friday, May 22, 2026, Asiedu Nketiah explained, “After we won the election, I told President Mahama that we cannot ignore Muntaka and Haruna in setting up our government, so they needed to be given big positions. President Mahama agreed and gave them the positions, and we are working together and enjoying ourselves”.

Also, Asiedu Nketia detailed how he challenged John Mahama to remove the entire NDC parliamentary leadership structure.

The NDC Chairman revealed internal discussions that led to the removal of former Minority Leader of Parliament, Haruna Iddrisu and Minority Chief Whip, Mohammed Mubarak-Muntaka, from their leadership.

It will be recalled that ahead of the 2024 general elections, the NDC in 2023 reshuffled its parliamentary leadership.

The entire Minority leadership team, led by Haruna Iddrisu, was changed with the party describing the move as s a broader restructuring exercise from the grassroots to the national level.

 A letter dated January 23, 2023, communicated to Parliament, announced Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, MP for Ajumako Enyan Essiam, as Minority Leader, replacing Haruna Iddrisu, while Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, MP for Ellembelle, took over as Deputy Minority Leader from James Klutse Avedzi. Kwame Agbodza was also appointed Minority Whip, with Ahmed Ibrahim and Comfort Doyo Ghansah serving as First and Second Deputy Whips.

According to Asiedu Nketia, the NDC won the 2024 elections because the Minority leadership changed.

He disclosed that he told the then-former President Mahama that they needed to change the forward line of Parliament, but he disagreed with me.

According to him, he had to assume the role of a “coach” of the party heading into the polls, adding that there was initial disagreement from President John Dramani Mahama over the proposed changes.

Speaking during his “Thank You” tour in a viral video, Asiedu Nketiah explained, “I said we had to change the forward line of Parliament; otherwise, it would be difficult for us to win the election. President Mahama disagreed with me, but I said, ‘Look, you elected me as chairman of this party. I am the coach of the party going into the election, so allow me to make the changes that will help us win. When we win, we will all enjoy together”.

“Then I made the changes. I made my brother, Haruna, and Muntaka step aside, and people started thinking that someone who has been my friend for more than 20 years had suddenly become my enemy. He can never become my enemy. But I am a coach, and I must study how our opponents are playing so I can properly arrange my team for victory.

“When we made the rearrangement and went into the election, the victory the NDC achieved in 2024, have you seen such a victory in Ghana since the beginning of the Fourth Republic? We won.

He further urged party members to avoid internal factionalism, saying, “And now we are all working together. So if people in Tamale are forming groups such as Haruna group, Asiedu Nketiah group, and so on, that is your own issue in Tamale; it is not our issue”.

“Mahama came for his proper ‘Thank You Tour’, not the curtain raiser one” – Haruna Iddrisu jabs Asiedu Nketia 

Haruna Iddrisu, the Minister of Education, has jabbed the National Democratic Congress (NDC) National Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, over his ongoing “Thank You” tour.

According to Haruna Iddrisu, President John Mahama’s ‘Thank You Tour’ is the proper one, not Asiedu Nketia’s curtain raiser one ‘Thank You Tour’.

He added, “What cannot be said? We can say it. A proper thank you tour of President Mahama, not the curtain-raiser one.”

Haruna Iddrisu’s comment drew laughter from the audience.

It has been alleged that both Haruna Iddrisu and Asiedu Nketia are among the front-runners jostling to contest the NDC flagbearership to succeed President Mahama.

The video has surfaced at a time Kwesi Pratt Jnr, a Veteran journalist and political commentator, has said he feels very sad for President John Dramani Mahama.

According to Kwesi Pratt, the betrayal of President John Dramani Mahama is monumental.

He recounted that President Mahama came to solve Ghana’s problems, but many of the people he appointed do not care about the Reset Agenda.

Kwesi Pratt highlighted that President Mahama is being politically undermined by people within his own government who are more focused on succeeding him.

Speaking in an interview shared on Facebook, Kwesi Pratt fumed, “To be honest, I feel very sad for President John Dramani Mahama; the betrayal of President John Dramani Mahama is monumental”.

“This is a gentleman who came to the people of Ghana and said, ‘ Look, there are problems with the country, and I want to solve the problems in the educational sector, health sector and so on. He proclaimed a reset agenda,” he stated.

He added, “And he appointed people to assist him to realise that objective. Many of the people he appointed to help him realise that objective don’t just care. They don’t care about reset. They don’t care about restructuring the economy. All they care about is replacing him”.

“Poor Mahama. Poor Mahama. And he’s sitting there being held hostage,” he said.

“He’s not been able to crack the whip. They’re dancing around him in circles and making nonsense of all the proclamations he has made. It’s unbelievable,” Pratt added.

“Visit the NDC social media platforms and see what is happening there. Who is talking about how to achieve the 24-hour economy? That’s not their concern. It’s about who is going to replace Mahama,” he said.

“So the people he appointed to help him leave a legacy are saying to us, ‘Oh, don’t worry, very soon you’ll become a lame duck. That’s what they say. They say, ‘By next year, you’ll be a lame dog. You have no power. We don’t have to respect him. So let’s start our campaign,” he added.

Mahama agreed, and they were given those positions,” he stated.

He further urged party members to avoid internal factionalism saying, “And now we are all working together. So if people in Tamale are forming groups such as Haruna group, Asiedu Nketiah group, and so on, that is your own issue in Tamale; it is not our issue”.

If there had been STEM when I was in school, I would’ve been an… – Mahama

President John Dramani Mahama has revealed that he would have become an engineer if the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education had been available during his time in school.  

According to John Mahama,  a harsh maths instruction discouraged hom with led to him experiencing a lasting impact and contributed to his decision to pursue arts and humanities.

John Mahama recalled the harsh methods used in teaching mathematics during his childhood, with teachers using mental and whipping them.

Speaking at the launch of the National STEM programme for basic schools at Sawla D/A Primary and JHS, as part of his “Resetting Ghana” tour of the Savannah Region, President John Dramani Mahama stated, “Maybe if there had been STEM at the time I was in school, I might now be a civil engineer, or I’ll be a mechanical engineer or something”.

“At that time, we used to do mental. They’ll come with a whip — nine times nine, nine times nine, whip! Eighteen times twenty-four, whip! I mean, you just scared the child. How can a child learn mathematics in that kind of atmosphere?” he stated.

“But that is how we grew up. And so if I drifted to the arts and humanities, it was only natural because I was traumatised by the way it was taught. Today, our children have a better opportunity,” he added.

In other news, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, the former Education Minister under the Nana Akufo-Addo-led New Patriotic Party (NPP) government, has explained why some top schools continue to dominate the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).

According to Dr Adutwum, students at top schools like PRESEC benefit from teachers who serve as examiners and markers.

He explained that these teachers provide their students with a deeper understanding of how to answer questions to meet WAEC standards.

Speaking in an exclusive interview on Hot 93.9FM’s ‘Hot Morning Drive’, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum stated, “Top schools like PRESEC, their teachers are examiners, so they had the insight that propelled them to do better than those whose teachers were not”.

Also, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum has disclosed that he was not surprised that the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) results were bad compared to previous years.

According to Dr Adutwum, the Akufo-Addo government used to pay teachers for extra classes to prepare WASSCE candidates, but the current Mahama government discontinued it.

Dr Adutwum further highlighted that claims that the 2025 WASSCE results were bad due to the Ghana Education Service and other authorities stopping exam malpractices are not factual.

He disclosed that in 2025 6000 subjects were cancelled compared to 4000 in 2024.

Speaking during an interview on JOYNEWS, Dr Adutwum explained, “We used to pay teachers to teach extra classes to prepare the students, but this government discontinued paying the teachers for that aspect. So, to me, I  was not surprised that we got the results that we got. What I was surprised by was when I heard in the news that somehow the students didn’t do well because they had stopped cheating.

Then I went to check the number of exams that were cancelled, and this year, 6000 subjects were cancelled compared to 4000 in 2024, so it could not be true”.

“If Sammy Gyamfi wants a debate, he should come to parliament” – Oppong Nkrumah

The Member of Parliament for Ofoase-Ayirebi, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, has told Sammy Gyamfi, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), that if he wants a debate, he should come to parliament.

Oppong Nkrumah disclosed that Sammy Gyamfi has been invited to parliament as part of a probe on the GHS 2.5 billion loss, which has now risen to GHS 9.6 billion on gold sale.

Speaking on Good Morning Ghana, Oppong Nkrumah stated, “Sammy Gyamfi has been invited to parliament as part of a probe on how come we’ve made over GHS 2.5 billion loss, which has now risen to  GHS 9.6 billion on gold sale; if he wants a debate, he should come to parliament”.

However, earlier, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah replied to Sammy Gyamfi, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), after he challenged him to a debate.

Oppong Nkrumah on Facebook insisted that the BoG losses exceeded the amount cited, claiming that the BoG recorded a total loss of GH¢34.9 billion.

He argued that the Bank of Ghana used a combination of artificial revenue recognition and accounting treatments to obscure the full extent of the losses.

According to him, evidence of this can be found on Page 16 of the financial statements, where the bank reports consolidated income.

Oppong Nkrumah detailed that, in addition to the GH¢15.6 billion headline figure, an additional GH¢19.3 billion in other comprehensive income brings the total to GH¢34.9 billion, adding that when adjustments are made for sold gold, the total loss rises to about GH¢44 billion.

However, Sammy Gyamfi has told Kojo Oppong Nkrumah to render a public apology over his misleading claims regarding the Bank of Ghana’s (BoG) 2025 annual report.

He argued that Kojo Oppong Nkrumah’s attempt to justify the falsehoods he peddled about the 2025 audited financial statements of the BoG by shifting the goal post is rather exposing his dishonesty.

Sammy Gyamfi further challenged Oppong Nkrumah to stop responding to him on Facebook, demanding he select any media platform of his choice and a date and time of your convenience for a debate.

In a social media post shared on X, Sammy Gyamfi wrote, “ I maintain that the “operating loss” recorded in the audited financials of the BoG for the year 2025 is GHS15.6 billion. And that, the audited income statement (P&L) is what is relevant in assessing the financial health of the Bank, and not the Other Comprehensive Income statement, that mainly captures unrealised revaluation gains/losses and exchange differences.

My brother KON, you lied! Apologise and let’s move on. But if you want to litigate this matter further, stop responding to me on Facebook. You are welcome to select any media platform of your choice and a date and time of your convenience for a debate”.

However, Oppong Nkrumah rejected Sammy Gyamfi’s challenge for a debate, arguing that Bank of Ghana’s 2025 accounts are not the responsibility of GoldBod’s CEO or the NDC’s National Communications Officer.

He stressed that if a debate is necessary, Ato Forson should step forward, not Sammy Gyamfi.

Oppong Nkrumah wrote, “The Bank of Ghana’s 2025 accounts are not the responsibility of GoldBod’s CEO or the NDC’s National Communications Officer. They belong to the Minister for Finance, who must present them to Parliament. Since you are aware of the mess you have caused, you have chosen to evade official probes and hide behind sponsored platforms where you can have a field day.

If a debate is necessary, Ato Forson should step forward. He has the responsibility, integrity, and competence to do so. Not you, my friend. Until he does, answers are only required from you in a Parliamentary inquiry on the record and under oath. Stop wasting our time and show up.

If you are as confident of your case as your posts suggest, be the loudest voice in your party today, demanding that the inquiry I initiated on March 27th be allowed to proceed. Then we will see who is telling the truth and who is lying”.

“NDC honeymoon is gradually wearing off” – Dr Bawumia

Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, has said the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) honeymoon is gradually wearing off.

The NPP flagbearer asserted that Ghanaians are beginning to ask harder questions about the administration’s ability to deliver on its campaign promises.

In a news card shared by TV3, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia stated, “The NDC honeymoon is gradually wearing off”.

Netizen reacting to Dr Bawumia’s remarks stated, “I don’t side with any of these two parties, NDC & NPP, because they’ve kept lying to our fathers and mothers and are still doing this shit..If I were this man, I would just shut the fuck up and retire from politics…but paranoia and greed would not let him be”.

A netizen added, “Why can’t we work together to build our country instead of working against each other, why?

What brain or what side of it are we using? All we think of is Power.

The same leaders who did a party, Danced, and cut a cake. And were robbing from the ordinary Ghanaian through E-Levy”.

One X user added, “Does a honeymoon last forever? We are now coming to start the marriage proper with NDC, make love, have kids, make more love, watch the kids grow and celebrate anniversaries. This will be a happy marriage, and the NPP can only wish they were us”.

“Just reading the comments below the post makes my day. The stupidity that engulfed Ghanaians in 2016 has been exorcised.

I’m now convinced that anyone who voted for Nana Akuffo-Addo in 2016 regretted it and couldn’t wait to vote NPP out.

Bawumia must understand that we saw him”, a netizen added.

One last X user added, “You’re so confused! Those who led you to achieve the biggest electoral defeat in our history are still in post. With all the ideas you claim to have, you could only deploy Abronye, your campaign manager, to insult prominent people in our country, including Archbishop Duncan Williams. Now, he bit the wrong meat, and that has landed him in custody.

The laws that got many people into trouble, including Bongo for speaking out against your government, haven’t changed. Why are you suddenly complaining?

Bawumia, Bawumia, Bawumia, how many times did I call you?? Behave yourself!!”

Meanwhile, Senyo Hosi, a Finance and economic policy analyst, has told President John Dramani Mahama that his honeymoon period back in government is over.

According to Senyo Hosi, the Mahama government must focus on substantive issues that affect our people, like production and employment for our youth.

He detailed that the Ghanaians will soon stop discussing the sins of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as they start to demand accountability from the Mahama government.

Senyo Hosi is quoted to have said, “People now are going to stop discussing what Nana Addo was like. People are now going to hold this government accountable for their own aspirations as human beings, as Ghanaians and their expectations of governance.

Real lives are at stake, and real questions will start being asked. Nana Addo is fast becoming history in people’s expectations and people’s problems about governance. People have accountability issues. Are you really delivering accountability beyond the press conferences and saying…Who has become accountable after over a whole year in office?

We were having conversations with the transport minister about the efficiency of procurement, about you still doing single sourcing. People are seeing these things and will start judging you on its own merit”.

He added, This is the defining year for John Mahama; the real state of his government will be evaluated after this year. Next year is campaign mode, and there will be a lot of disruption, but this is an indication that your honeymoon is over, so please get focused on the substantive issues that affect our people. Production, employment for our youth, we are looking clearly about accountability”.

We have debts to settle – Ghanaian man in South Africa explains why they cannot return home 

A Ghanaian man identified as Pkay has explained why some Ghanaians living in South Africa cannot return home despite the xenophobic attacks targeting foreign nationals.

According to Pkay, many Ghanaians living in South Africa are working mainly to settle debts owed to individuals who sponsored their travel to the country.

Pkay detailed that before travelling to South Africa, a woman called “madam” paid for his trip, together with several others, and they are now required to work and repay the money spent on them.

Speaking in an interview with Gossips24 Avenue Pkay disclosed, “It’s not a deliberate attempt to stay here, even though the government wants to help us. I have been in this country for close to four years. When I was coming, nobody told me the reality of what people are facing here.

“I have been here for three years, and what do I even have to show for it to return to Ghana? When I was travelling, my madam paid for my ticket. At the time, I only knew how to trim hair, but I had to learn how to do dreadlocks because barbering alone cannot sustain you.

“Immediately you arrive, you have to work for the first year just to settle your debt with your madam. Some of us even borrowed money in Ghana before travelling, so how can we return home without settling those debts, not to mention the responsibilities waiting for us back home?” he said.

PKay also shared details about how saying, “Those of us who have finished paying our debts to our bosses are now into susu. Assuming everyone contributes 1,000 every month, by the time it gets to your turn to collect the money, you end up spending it on rent, family responsibilities, and other utilities. You can barely save anything, so life here is very difficult,” he added.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced a temporary postponement of the planned evacuation of Ghanaian nationals from South Africa.

In a post shared by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sam Okudzeto Ablakwa, revealed that more than 800 Ghanaians have registered to be evacuated.

He disclosed that Senior Government Officials on both sides are engaging on South African legal conditions, passenger screening, managing the high numbers and multi-institutional coordination as they work on a new date for the evacuation.

In a May 21 statement, issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated, “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs wishes to provide an update on the evacuation of Ghanaians from South Africa, which was scheduled to commence today, 21st May, 2026.

The Government of Ghana notes that more than 800 Ghanaians have registered with our High Commission in Pretoria seeking to be evacuated due to the latest wave of xenophobic attacks”.

“Considering the numbers involved and the South African legal conditions that have to be met, including mandatory passenger screening, multi-institutional coordination, and flight permits, the planned evacuation has been deferred by a few days to enable our High Commission to meet these evacuation conditions.”

“Ghana is a virgin country, the US is an old woman; Do not destroy your future” – Ayariga to youths

Ghanaian politician and Group Chairman of Hasnita Travel Consult, Hassan Ayariga, has labelled Ghana a virgin country, while referring to the U.S. as an old woman.

Hassan Ayariga urged Ghanaian youths not to go to the U.S. to destroy their future, as there are better chances for growth in Ghana.

He argued that many foreigners are actually coming into Ghana for opportunities, but Ghanaians are rather job hunting in the U.S.

Speaking in a video shared on X by The 1957 News, Hassan Ayariga stated, “It is easier to make a million dollars in Ghana than to make $100,000 in the US.“Do not destroy your future by going to the US”.

“Your country is where there are a lot of opportunities. That is where your classmates, schoolmates and colleagues can help you grow,” he said.

“In a no man’s country, you don’t know anybody. You cannot just jump and expect success,” he stated.

He added, “Ghana is a virgin country. The US is an old woman. What is there to get from an old woman?”

“It is because we don’t know what we have in this country,” he added.

He further added that travelling abroad should be for tourism or short visits, not job hunting.

“You go there to spend money, not to look for jobs,” Hasan Ayariga stated.

In other news, the Chief Executive Officer of the McDan Group of Companies, Dr Daniel McKorley, popularly known as McDan, has said the Volta Region can generate $9 billion annually.

Speaking passionately at the Volta Economic Forum under the theme “Harnessing the Volta Corridor Economic Potential for the 24-Hour Economy Take-off,” McDan stated, “Everybody is talking about investment, but I was talking about revenue. The Volta Region can generate nine billion dollars. Is it our attitude, or are we just not deliberate?”

“I’m developing the biggest salt mine in Africa,” he said. “Yes, there are challenges, but we’re scaling through. I’m moving into the Volta Region to start operations and develop it.”

He added, “You can have the longest cable car in the world near Afadjato Mountain. This region can be a tourism powerhouse,” he said, referencing the area’s “health tourism” potential, including traditional waterfalls believed to have healing powers.

“I want to see private jets flying here into the Volta Region with investors. Let’s take this region seriously,” he stated.

McDan further described the Volta Region as a “sleeping giant” with a youth population exceeding 70 percent.

He stressed the need to empower young people through entrepreneurship, innovation, and vocational training.

McDan added, “We have to be creative. We have the youth, and we must develop them,” he said. “The 24-hour economy is a good concept, but it only works if we start acting.”

“We are waiting for the government to come to our aid, but we have what it takes as the private sector to take a move in our own small way,” he said. “If we start, I believe the government will step in.”

“Ofoso Ampofo appeared in court 88 times” – Ako Gunn recounts how the NPP treated NDC’s National Chairman

Godwin Ako Gunn, the NDC Deputy National Communications Officer, has recounted how the former NDC National Chairman, Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, was treated under the former Akufo-Addo government.

Ako Gunn disclosed that Ofosu Ampofo was taken to court 88 times under the NPP government.

According to Ako Gunn, Ofosu Ampofo’s treatment by the NPP was one of the most painful political episodes he had witnessed.

Speaking on JoyNews, Ako Gunn recounted, “A whole national chairman of our party was hauled to court 88 times”.

He further recounted an incident when Ofosu Ampofo was in the United States recovering from spine surgery.

“He pleaded that the next court date be postponed for one month because of the surgery on his spine”.

“He could not even take a direct flight because of the pain. He had to use three different airlines so he could have breaks intermittently before getting to Ghana,” he alleged.

The NDC communicator added that the situation became even more frustrating when the Attorney General at the time allegedly failed to file documents expected in court.

“If he knew he was not ready, at least postpone the date for a month,” Ako Gunn argued.

“Punishing people’s hard-earned image is not a joke,” Ako Gunn stressed.

His comments come on the heels of the criticism being faced by the ruling NDC government over the increasing trend of arrests of individuals, particularly members of the NPP, for their comments made on social media.

Meanwhile, the Ghana Police Service have arrested TikToker Bawumia Ba, whose real name is Mahama Aminat, also known as Akosua Serwaa Minat.

“We don’t put anything on the Quran” – Headmistress of Islamic Girls’ causes stir at PAC hearing, sparking debate

The Headmistress of Islamic Girls’ Senior High School, Suhum, Mrs Safia Salifu, has caused a stir at the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) when she pleaded for the Quran to be placed in a separate box.

According to her, Muslims do not put anything in the Quran, but it has been mixed with other books or documents and handled only by a Muslim during committee hearings.

Speaking at the PAC hearing, Mrs Safia Salifu stated, “I have a plea, honourable chair. Please can you put Honourable Miss Bao in charge of our Quran because we don’t put anything on the Quran, and it is being mixed up with some other documents. Thank you”.

“No, we have to get a separate box to keep the Quran in … and probably get a Muslim to serve it to me because we perform ablution before touching it. I see that it has been mixed with some other documents. Thank you,” Salifu firmly stated.

However,  the Chairperson of the Public Accounts Committee, Hon. Abena Osei-Asare, responding to a request, rejected her request.

Abena Osei-Asare stressed equal treatment for all religious texts used in the committee’s proceedings,

She described both the Bible and the Quran simply as tools for the work at hand.

“We place all the Bibles and Qurans on the table. When you come… You pick one. They are treated as instruments of work and used as such,” she said.

Some Ghanaians reacting to the viral video stated, “ What kind of absurd demand is this?

“They should get a Muslim to handle ur quran because a non-Muslim is too dirty to touch it”!!!

That nonsense book, whose toilet paper is even better than?

Ahhh, mmom paaa Ghana, like play like play, Boko Haram go land for Ghana ooh, wake up”.

One X user added, “Is she implying that the Islamic scholars who place the Bible, which they call injeel and other manuscripts together for references and comparison have committed something unholy? And why couldn’t she say remove the Bible, but called it other documents?”.

A netizen added, “Ghanaians, don’t ever make a Muslim president in this country. You wouldn’t like it. Listen to this woman who does not much political power fighting for her religion in an account committee. This is who they are. For them, their religion first. I have been warning you, people”.

Additionally, a netizen added, “My sis schooled at Suhum Islamic Girls, and she’s been forced to go th the mosque, consistently forced to cover her head.

Even tho dad is a pastor, we never complained. These kinds of attitudes of the so-called dirty Islamic of bloody! I hate it when I see them. Regarding others’ dirty”.

“Interesting

Maybe if our leaders practice their piety in the service of the country and stop stealing from us, such things may be tolerated.

Let us see the values and virtues of whatever you believe in, and people would accord some courtesy”, a netizen added.

One last X user stated, “I’m glad the chairperson put her in her place. We all know the kind of stupid demands they’d be making if they had a majority in Ghana. Always looking for division. Ghana is peaceful because Christians are more. That book came 600 years after the Bible from an unverified random guy”.

“Then they’ll turn around and ask Wesley Girls to allow all sorts of things. Ghanaians will understand soon enough. The Bible is “other documents,” a netizen added.

Tragic – Husband, wife, and their infant baby killed in a road accident

A husband, wife and their infant baby have lost their lives following a tragic accident.

Reports suggest the tragic incident occurred at Buduatta Junction on the Kasoa-Winneba Highway in the Central Region.

The tragic road accident involved their private car with registration number DV 9546, a fuel tanker with registration number GN 4328-15, and a tipper truck with registration number GT 9026-26.

The information gathered suggests that the family were travelling from Winneba to Kasoa when their private vehicle lost control after a pickup vehicle made a dangerous overtaking manoeuvre, leading to a head-on collision with the tanker.

Reports suggest the husband and wife died at the scene, while the baby succumbed to injuries later at St. Gregory Catholic Hospital.

The news shared by askghmedia on X read, “A husband, his wife, and their four-month-old baby were killed in a road accident involving their private car (DV 9546), a fuel tanker (GN 4328-15), and a tipper truck (GT 9026-26) at Buduatta Junction on the Kasoa-Winneba Highway in the Central Region.

The family was travelling from Winneba to Kasoa when their private vehicle lost control after a pickup vehicle made a dangerous overtaking manoeuvre. This led to a head-on collision with the tanker, after which a tipper truck crashed into the rear of the tanker.

The husband and wife died at the scene, while the baby succumbed to injuries later at St. Gregory Catholic Hospital”.

Netizen reacting to the tragic news wrote, “The rate at which people are dying  by road accidents, particularly this year, is alarming

Before the election, things went on”.

A netizen added, “If the reports are true, the pickup driver should be charged and sentenced to prison for manslaughter.

People need to take responsibility for God’s sake!

People need to be held liable for their actions.

We see a lot of stupid driving on the roads.

Licenses are easy to get”.

“It’s raining heavily, the road is slippery, but somehow drivers still drive at top speeds.

Where’s the common sense?”, one X user added.

A netizen added, “It’s always about the speed, always about speed, overtaking to where? To go and do absolutely nothing!”.

“I’ve been using that stretch since the construction began, and I can confidently say that most drivers disregard the speed limit signs on the road.

I’m not surprised about the recent accidents because the rains have set in, and drivers will always disregard these signs”, one X user added.

“Such matters should be taken to court and the prosecution made live on TV to set up a deterrent to idiots who drive carelessly on our roads and highways.

Life imprisonment with hard labour for everyone involved who is at fault

What is all this?”, a netizen added.

“Ghana here, our roads are bad, but if you’ve been using the Accra -Kumasi very often, u will be surprised how drivers move on that road. Sometimes u will ask yourself if they are immune to accidents cos eei”, an X user added.

“It is easier to make a million dollars in Ghana than to make $100,000 in the U.S.” – Hassan Ayariga

Ghanaian politician and Group Chairman of Hasnita Travel Consult, Hassan Ayariga, has claimed it is easier for one to make a million dollars in Ghana than to make $100,000 in the U.S.

According to Hassan Ayariga, Ghana offers better chances for growth, arguing that migrants often struggle more outside.

Hassan Ayariga detailed that in one’s home country, there are a lot of opportunities from classmates, schoolmates and colleagues who can help.

Speaking in a video shared on X by The 1957 News, Hassan Ayariga stated, “It is easier to make a million dollars in Ghana than to make $100,000 in the US.“Do not destroy your future by going to the US”.

“Your country is where there are a lot of opportunities. That is where your classmates, schoolmates and colleagues can help you grow,” he said.

“It is because we don’t know what we have in this country,” he added.

He further added that travelling abroad should be for tourism or short visits, not job hunting.

“You go there to spend money, not to look for jobs,” Hasan Ayariga stated.

Hassan Ayariga made these remarks while advising fans travelling to the US for the 2026 FIFA World Cup to return after the tournament.

He revealed that some embassies refuse to issue visas because some applicants are unwilling to return home after the tournament.

In other news, Hassan Ayariga has detailed three things he described as cardinal principles to becoming rich in life.

Speaking to 1957 News in an interview shared on social media, Hassan Ayariga highlighted prayerful, hardworking, and sincere as the three things one needs to become rich.

Hassan Ayariga stated, “The way is three things: prayerful, hardworking, and being sincere and honest. If you follow these three cardinal principles, there’s no way you will be poor. You have to be prayerful; even the devil cannot stop you.

“If you’re not prayerful, the devil will interrupt; if you’re not hardworking, you’ll become lazy; and if you’re not sincere, people will do business with you and run away,” he stated.

“School is a gateway to knowledge, to understanding, to being in the world. You educate yourself not because it’s going to give you money, but because it’s going to open your mindset and let you understand the figures. Business, however, is the way.

“For business, you don’t have limited resources; you can make money unlimited. But school has some limitations. That is why we believe that empowerment must come with job creation,” he explained.

“You cannot continue to oppress the people” – Mahama’s 2022 letter to Akufo-Addo bites him

Amid the recent criticism being faced by the ruling NDC government over the increasing trend of arrests of individuals, particularly members of the NPP, for their comments made on social media, a letter written by President John Mahama in opposition has surfaced.

In the said letter on February  11, 2022, John Mahama told the then-President Akufo-Addo that he cannot continue to oppress the people, criminalise speech when these matters are essentially civil in nature, when he feels offended by them.

John Mahama recounted that Akufo-Addo, who was the Attorney General at the time, led the repeal of the criminal libel law, in order that citizens could freely express their views.

He asserted that it is unconscionable to suppress the rights and criminalise the speech of citizens and journalists, adding that it is even more worrying when the power of the state is used as a pliant tool in this intimidating endeavour.

Mahama in opposition cited Radio and TV presenter Captain Smart, who was dragged from court, and although he had been granted bail, was sent into detention.

Also, Oheneba Boamah Bennie, another radio presenter, was incarcerated for statements he allegedly made.

Read President Mahama’s full letter below:

“Dear President Nana Akufo-Addo,

I am appalled at the growing criminalisation of speech and journalism in Ghana, under your watch, in this 21st century.

An investigative journalist was murdered, under very troubling circumstances. Yet, while the Ghanaian people and the international community have demanded justice, Government’s inability or unwillingness to act is obvious to all. The police have virtually shelved the investigations into this brutal murder.

There have also been several disturbing incidents of harassment of journalists in the line of duty; we have witnessed media establishments closed down on your instructions, despite many appeals to you.

Now, in a space of less than two weeks, four people have suffered police action, criminalizing their right to free speech. As Attorney General, at the time, who led the repeal of the criminal libel law, in order that citizens could freely express their views, it is unconscionable to be suppressing the rights and criminalising the speech of citizens and journalists. It is even more worrying when the power of the state is used as a pliant tool in this intimidating endeavour.

Radio and TV presenter Captain Smart was dragged from court, and although he had been granted bail, sent into detention. Another radio presenter, Oheneba Boamah Bennie has been incarcerated for statements he allegedly made. A civil society activist was arrested, detained, sent to court on criminal charges, granted bail and yet detained again for making a statement against you, President Akufo-Addo.

As if to suggest insincerity behind the serious decriminalization of speech that you led, another radio presenter, Bobie Ansah, has been arrested, detained and charged– criminalized for speaking and making allegations against your wife.

Again, last week, security personnel linked to your party brutalized a radio presenter and producer in the city of Takoradi. Such lawless attacks have today become common occurrences in our country.

President Akufo-Addo, you cannot continue to oppress the people, criminalize speech when these matters are essentially civil in nature, if you feel offended by them.

It is even more sad that the Journalists Association and its senior members, many of our clergy and other moral leaders, scared because of the oppressive and dictatorial regime you are running, have remained quiet in the face of this disturbing development in our maturing democracy.

This is a dangerous blueprint you are fashioning for our dear nation and it must not be encouraged. Your actions as President have totally discredited your self-acquired accolade as a human rights lawyer and activist. Ghana has long emerged from the unfortunate past where journalists were cowed by incarceration and brutalization.

I fear that if you do not take immediate action to arrest this unfortunate trend, when you exit the high office of President in January 2025, freedom of speech and a free media will certainly not be counted as part of the legacy you leave behind.

Your brother,

John Dramani Mahama”.

“Keep your cool; nobody is above the law” – Bagbin speaks on the arrest of Asante Akyem North MP

Alban Bagbin, the Speaker of Parliament, has for the first time broken his silence following the arrest of the Asante Akyem North MP in the Netherlands.

On May 21, 2026, addressing parliament,  Alban Bagbin disclosed that efforts are ongoing through diplomatic channels to ensure justice is served.

He further appealed to the MP’s family, constituents and the public to keep cool while parliament works with the government to ensure the MP is treated with dignity and respect under international law.

Alban Bagbin further reminded members of parliament that no one is above the law.

Speaking to members of Parliament, Alban Bagbin stated, “Parliament is working with governments to ensure justice is done in this matter. I will, in due course, keep the House updated with developments in the matter”.

“So please, keep your cool and leave those who are involved. I’m happy that voluminous information has been given to you as to the steps that have been taken by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, together with our mission in Holland,” he added.

Speaker Bagbin added, “Honourable members, it is very important for us to always remind ourselves that we are here as servants of the people, and it is important to keep uppermost in our minds that the power and authority we exercise as Members of Parliament are delegated”.

“The guardians have made it clear in the Constitution that nobody, and I repeat, nobody, is above the law. Not even the Ghanaians that we represent. They are not above the law,” he said.

Sources familiar with the arrest of the Member of Parliament for Asante Akyem North, Ohene Kwame Frimpong, have shared details concerning his arrest at the Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam.

Reports suggest that the Asante Akyem North MP was dramatically arrested by Dutch security officials at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam shortly after a KLM flight from Accra landed in the Netherlands.

According to CitiNewsroom, “the lawmaker departed Kotoka International Airport in Accra on Saturday, May 9, aboard KLM Flight 590. The flight reportedly left Ghana through Gate C7 at about 10:10 p.m. and arrived at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam at approximately 4:36 GMT on Sunday”.

The information gathered from sources detailed that the incident happened moments after the aircraft touched down at Gate F3 when passengers were prepared to disembark, the pilot announced that all passengers should remain seated for what was described as a security check.

Sources revealed that a team of Dutch security officials subsequently boarded the aircraft and proceeded directly to the Business Class section where the Asante Akyem North MP was seated with another senior government official travelling on the same flight.

The Dutch security officials reportedly identified the MP, read him his rights, and placed him in handcuffs before escorting him off the aircraft into a waiting security van.

Meanwhile, Abena Fosuaa, the mother of Asante Akyem North MP, Ohene Kwame Frimpong, has broken down in tears, appealing to President John Mahama and relevant authorities for his immediate release following his arrest at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport in the Netherlands.

The family maintains his innocence, describing the detention as an attempt to embarrass him.

They also cited previous alleged assassination attempts on his life during his last election campaign.

According to the mother of the Member of Parliament for Asante Akyem North, his son is a hustler who has done everything except stealing.

Speaking to Ohene Media on May 14, 2026, the woman who described herself as the MP’s mother’s direct sister described him as a kind and hardworking person.

Abena Fosuaa stated, “For his character, he is a good man. Since childhood, he has never fought with anybody before. Even if he comes around and sees a child eating, he will join the person to eat. He does not discriminate. Just last Saturday, he came to distribute clothes to widows and mothers”.

She continued, “He has been supporting me with money to farm maize, rice and other agricultural products. I was on my way to the farm when I was informed that he had been arrested…I have stayed with him for a long time, and he is not lazy. He is a hustler and can even carry water for money.”

“He has done everything before except stealing,” she added amid tears.

“Mahama was elected as president, show him respect” – KOKA advises TikTokers

Kwaku Osei Korankye Asiedu, popularly known as KOKA, a staunch NPP member, has advised TikTokers to abstain from issuing derogatory remarks directed towards President John Dramani Mahama.

KOKA noted that John Dramani Mahama was legitimately elected as President of the Republic and should be accorded due respect regardless of their political or personal differences.

According to KOKA, criticism levelled at John Mahama must be measured and responsible.

KOKA, however, called security agencies to exercise some restraint, encouraging them not to overdo it in dealing with individuals expressing controversial opinions.

Speaking in a recent interview shared on social media, KOKA advised, “There is one fundamental thing we need to get right, no matter what, John Dramani Mahama was elected as president… No matter the circumstances, show him that respect. He didn’t come there with a gun. He is the president.”

“You can criticise him, you can say what you want, but you should be guarded, say things that tomorrow, when a foreigner repeats them, you will not feel guilty.”

His comments follow the wave of arrests involving social media commentators accused of spreading hate speech, inciting violence, and targeting public officials online.

In related news, the United States Government, through the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Ohio, has published a full list of Ghanaian nationals indicted for romance fraud scams.

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, 9 more Ghanaians have already pleaded guilty and been sentenced in connection with these romance fraud.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Ohio, in a detailed report, wrote, “CLEVELAND – Two brothers from Ghana and a woman from the U.S. have been indicted for allegedly being a part of a criminal network that devised romance fraud schemes to obtain money from victims by mostly targeting the elderly in the United States.

An indictment was recently unsealed in United States v. Jamal Abubakari, et al., charging the following three individuals with Conspiracy to Commit Wire Fraud and Money Laundering:

Jamal Abubakari, aka Jamal Abubakar, aka Arrangement, 22;

Kamal Abubakari, aka Kamal Abubakar, aka Lancaster, 22; and

Amanda Joy Opoku-Boachie, aka Amanda Joy Glum, aka Amanda Joy Kessei Bierman, 53.

All three defendants were arrested in Virginia and remain in custody pending further court proceedings.

According to allegations in the indictment, from about July 2024 to April 2026, the defendants targeted older Americans on dating websites and social media platforms to engage in romance fraud schemes. The defendants conspired with others to use fake personas to establish close personal relationships with the victims which were often romantic in nature. After being misled by false stories, the victims sent money via wire transfer to financial accounts controlled by conspiracy members. Portions of the funds were further provided to co-conspirators in Ghana and elsewhere.

A series of cases related to this matter, which have also charged conspiracies tied to Ghana for targeting elderly victims, have been assigned to one U.S. District Judge to coordinate proceedings. While many defendants in those matters are pending trial or sentencing, nine defendants have already pleaded guilty and been collectively sentenced to approximately 50 years of imprisonment.

Any student whose hostel fees have been increased should report to my office – Rent Commissioner

The Acting Rent Commissioner and Head of the Rent Control Department, Frederick Opoku, has informed University students to report to his office if their hostel fees have been increased despite his directive.

The Rent Commissioner asserted that no hostel manager is bigger than the laws of Ghana.

Speaking on Bullet TV, Frederick Opoku stated, “Any student across the country whose hostel fee has been increased after my directive should report to my office with the receipt.

Any hostel operator, if you think you are bigger than the law and that you have invested, and so we should throw the laws out is that not matter who is behind the hostel? It does not matter who you think your boss is. That your boss is not above the law, and if I am not able to arrest your boss, I will name and shame your boss.

 No matter your pedigree in society, you are not above the law. The laws of Ghana will be implemented equally for the poor and the rich”, he added.

His comments come following the  Office of the Rent Commissioner and the Rent Control Department have issued a statement directing all private hostel owners, facility managers, operators, and stakeholders within the student accommodation sector to place a TEMPORAL HOLD on all or any intended or proposed increment in hostel accommodation fees.

On Tuesday, May 19, 2026, the statement signed by the Acting Rent Commissioner and Head of the Rent Control Department, Frederick Opoku, announced the directive follows public concern concerning the hostel fees for tertiary institutions.

According to the statement, repeated hikes in accommodation charges are placing a heavy financial burden on students, parents and guardians.

Parts of the statement read, “These persistent increments have become a matter of urgent public concern due to the economic burden placed on students, parents, and guardians”.

“The situation, if not properly regulated and managed, may adversely affect access to accommodation and the general welfare of students pursuing higher education,” the statement said.

“The Office of the Rent Commissioner, together with the Rent Control Department, hereby directs all private hostel owners, facility managers, operators, and stakeholders within the student accommodation sector to place a TEMPORAL HOLD on all or any intended or proposed increment in hostel accommodation fees for the 2026/2027 academic year until further notice,” it directed.

“All stakeholders are strongly encouraged to attend and cooperate fully with the directive in the interest of students, parents, educational institutions and national development,” the statement said

“Your assumption that people migrate only because of poverty exposes your limited view” – Lydia Forson tackles SA activist

Ghanaian actress Lydia Forson has tackled a South African activist identified as Queen Vee after yet another video of her accosting another Ghanaian in South Africa.

According to the South African activist, she can promise that there won’t be peace if Ghanaians don’t leave their country, adding that they will be chased away. 

She further fired shots, describing Ghanaian leaders as failed leaders who only helped Emmanuel Asamoah to make themselves look like heroes.

Queen Vee asserted that Ghana is now one of the largest gold producers, adding that Ghanaians are not supposed to suffer, but due to poor leadership, Ghanaians are struggling.

Speaking in a viral video shared on X, Queen Vee stated, “I can promise you, there’s not going to be peace. You will be chased away. Let me be clear. We’re going to ensure that all of us in Africa, we are all in our respective countries and fixing them. Ghana is now one of the largest gold producers. Ghanaians are not supposed to be suffering, but we have left it in the hands of the wrong leaders”.

“Now see what they did, what your leaders did with Emmanuel. They made it seem like they are heroes, but they forgot that the reason why Emmanuel and your kind are here is because they have failed. Now they love Ghanaians; they will love you guys, because if you love your own children, you are not going to let them go look for food next door, you’re going to ensure that you provide for them”.

“Even now, once they hear us complaining again, they will say xenophobia. No, your leaders have failed. Ghana’s leadership has failed,” she said.

However,  Lydia Forson, reacting to her remarks, noted that Queen Vee’s assertion that people migrate only because of poverty, exposes her limited view and exposure of the world.

In her post, Lydia Forson wrote, “If you’ve never been to South Africa, you’d think from this video that their country is so perfect, they have no need to move anywhere.

It isn’t.

Like any country, there’s the good, bad and ugly.

Also, the assumption that people migrate only because of poverty exposes her own limited view and exposure of the world.

We have South Africans living in Ghana; are we to assume they’re only here because their country needs fixing and their leaders have failed?

So many undocumented immigrants are in SA, but they get a pass because they’re not black.

The prejudices we have amongst ourselves are so internalised that it’s sad.

You can’t fight for better for your country without reducing the fight to condescension”.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced a temporary postponement of the planned evacuation of Ghanaian nationals from South Africa.

In a post shared by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sam Okudzeto Ablakwa, revealed that more than 800 Ghanaians have registered to be evacuated.

He disclosed that Senior Government Officials on both sides are engaging on South African legal conditions, passenger screening, managing the high numbers and multi-institutional coordination as they work on a new date for the evacuation.

In a May 21 statement, issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated, “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs wishes to provide an update on the evacuation of Ghanaians from South Africa, which was scheduled to commence today, 21st May, 2026.

The Government of Ghana notes that more than 800 Ghanaians have registered with our High Commission in Pretoria seeking to be evacuated due to the latest wave of xenophobic attacks”.

“Considering the numbers involved and the South African legal conditions that have to be met, including mandatory passenger screening, multi-institutional coordination, and flight permits, the planned evacuation has been deferred by a few days to enable our High Commission to meet these evacuation conditions.”

Would Ghanaians bank with GN Bank? – Financial analyst quizzes

Toma Imirhe, a Financial analyst, has cast doubt on the ability of GN Savings and Loans Company Limited formerly known as GN Bank to succeed despite the restoration of its operating licence.

According to the Financial Analyst, GN Savings and Loans Company Limited’s bigger challenge lies in rebuilding the institution from the ground up and regaining the trust of the public.

Toma Imirhe cited Unicredit and other financial institutions that have gone through similar situations with their licences reinstated, but often struggle.

The Financial Analyst quizzed whether the GN Savings and Loans Company Limited would be able to attract depositors after the experiences many customers faced during the clean-up exercise in 2019.

Speaking on Eyewitness News on Thursday, May 21, the financial analyst stated, “They have got their licence back, but you remember Unicredit also got their licence back some years back and what came of it? You see, getting your license back is one thing; being able to resume business is another thing entirely. First of all, you have to now get sufficient share capital. You need to regain the confidence of depositors. You have to get your staff back.

“These are all very high hurdles that GN Savings and Loans will have to overcome. So, I already have my doubts. Would you go and put your deposits with GN Savings and Loans right now after all that happened since 2019?”

His comments follow, the Bank of Ghana (BoG) have been ordered by the Court of Appeal to restore the licence of GN Bank.

The appeal court ruling follows an earlier High Court ruling that upheld the revocation of the financial institution’s operating licence.

The Court of Appeal three-member panel directed that all assets of the bank be returned to its original owners.

The receiver has also been ordered to hand over management of the company to its previous management team.

The Court of Appeal ruling marks a major development in the long-running legal battle between GN Bank and the Bank of Ghana.

GN Bank, which officially commenced operations in 1997 as First National Savings and Loans (FNSL) Company Limited, was upgraded to a universal bank on September 4, 2014.

It expanded rapidly across the country, establishing one of the largest branch networks in the banking sector.

The central bank, however, at the time argued that its regulatory assessments revealed that GN Bank’s expansion was not supported by adequate capital buffers and sound risk management practices.

BoG discovered that GN Bank regularly breached key prudential requirements, including capital adequacy and liquidity ratios.

Meanwhile, Papa Kwesi Nduom, the Founder of GN Savings and Loans, has said the past seven years have been ‘difficult, very, very difficult’.

He further expressed gratitude to God for sustaining him and his team. 

 According to Papa Kwesi Nduom, Ghana is now in a very good political environment, adding that with the wind of restoration of their license, they are ready to play their role for Ghana to achieve the prosperity it needs.

Speaking to the media following the Court of Appeal has, by a unanimous decision, restored the licence of GN Savings and Loans Company Limited, Papa Kwesi Nduom stated, “It’s been a difficult, very, very difficult seven years. We want to thank the family. We want to thank all of our employees. We’ve had some very loyal, hardworking employees who have stood with us all these years”.

“And definitely, we give thanks to the Almighty for keeping us healthy enough to be where we are because this has been a very, very tough, very difficult time that we have gone through. It’s just unimaginable,” he added.

“We are in a very good political environment, and that environment has brought about a wind of change. We are expecting that with the licence restored, we will now play our part in making sure that this country achieves the level of prosperity that is needed,” he stated.

He further disclosed that GN Savings and Loans would, at the appropriate time, hold a press conference to brief Ghanaians”.

“As politicians, we sometimes think we’re bigger than this country” – Mahama admits 

President John Dramani Mahama has admitted that, as politicians, they sometimes see themselves as bigger than Ghana.

According to President Mahama, Ghanaians must always remind politicians that Ghana will exist long after they are gone.

He urged Ghanaians to cut politicians down to size when they think they are bigger than the country.

In a news card shared by GHOne TV on X, Mahama was quoted to have said, “As politicians, we sometimes think we’re bigger than this country. You must always remember to cut us down to size and remind us that Ghana will exist long after we’re gone”.

Some Ghanaians reacting to President John Mahama’s remarks stated, “But Mr President, some of us are less privileged people in the community, even after hard years in university, how to get a job is very difficult in this country because we don’t know or have any politicians, why is the system so hmmmm many structures must change”.

“That’s a way to go, but this contradicts your government’s posture today. You can say one thing and do another. Call your guys to order if you don’t subscribe to their actions”, an X user added.

One X user added, “Reason you should crack the whip to restore sanity and integrity. Ghana will exist regardless. It is not the duty of the people to threaten the peace of Ghana nor politicians to sell the future of generations unborn”.

A netizen added, “Unimpeachable observation.  I would add that, as politicians, some of us are thrust into leadership by happenstance.  And that if others had been put in the same situation, the would have performed just as well or even better.  We are not “extraordinary” or bigger than life”.

One last netizen added, “When we do, LISTEN to us!

We don’t enjoy or care abt politics, but rather good Quality of Life &, high Standards of Living & respect/honour for our ancestors who created a great civilisation for us

We DON’T open doors for foreigners to destroy our culture & overshadow us @JDMahama”.

In related news, Dr Stephen Amoah, popularly known as Sticka, the Member of Parliament for Nhyiaeso, has shockingly revealed the hard truths about Ghanaian politcians .

According to Dr Stephen Amoah, whether NPP or NDC politcians car more about cars, houses and women than about citizens.

He asserted said Politics has become an enterprise, adding that from his observations, both his party and the incumbent NDC are incapable of transforming Ghana into a developed nation.

He asserted that he is not convinced that even 10% of politicians, whether NDC or NPP, are genuinely interested in developing the country.

Stephen Amoah noted that many politicians are driven more by personal gain, seeking to afford their own homes, cars, and taking women to Dubai.

Speaking in an interview on Angel FM, Stephen Amoah stated, “Politics has become an enterprise. From my observation, in my opinion, I’m not convinced that even 10% of politicians, whether NDC or NPP, are genuinely interested in developing the country; many are driven more by personal gain, seeking to afford their own homes, cars, and taking women to Dubai”.

Are you sure NPP and NDC know the number of street children in Ghana? Citizens don’t look at some things. Let me ask you the two parties do they have any research institutions that look into Ghana’s problem?

I am NPP. To me, NPP is better than the NDC, but the two have problems. NPP is better than NDC in terms of our social issues for Ghanaians, but for almost 35 years are we been solving our problems? We don’t even know the number of street children in Ghana; we haven’t had any research institution for about 35 years or 40 years to look into our problems of unemployment, cedi, corruption”.

NPP runs to CJ, demanding the removal of the Judge in Abronye case

Justin Kodua Frimpong, the General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has revealed the party will petition the Chief Justice for the removal of Circuit Court Judge His Lordship Joseph Yenuban Kunsong, who was handling the case of Abronye DC.

According to Justin Kodua, the NPP finds the Circuit Court Judge’s conduct of the trial judge unacceptable.

Speaking to journalists after Abronye was granted bail,  the NPP General Secretary stated, “We find the conduct of the trial judge unacceptable. To some extent, it’s misconduct, and it’s not something we’re going to let go”.

“We are filing a petition to the Chief Justice for Justice Yenuban Kunsong to be removed from the case of the Republic vs Abronye because we believe he has taken a stand in the case, and he cannot be a judge in his own case”.

 Therefore, justice will be well served when the case is handed over to someone else”.

Meanwhile, Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC, has been granted bail by the Accra High Court after he was earlier remanded into custody.

Abronye’s lawyers, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, who were led by former Attorney-General Godfred Yeboah Dame, moved a motion for bail pending trial.

Counsel for the applicant submitted, “We move in terms of the motion paper and pray that the applicant be granted bail pending trial.”

Deputy Attorney-General Dr Justice Srem-Sai, who represented the prosecution, indicated that the Republic was not opposed to the application.

The High Court subsequently granted Abronye bail in the sum of GH¢100,000 with two sureties.

Part of his bail conditions is to report to the Police CID once every fortnight, surrender all travel documents, and refrain from travelling outside the jurisdiction without permission.

It will be recalled that Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin, the Minority Leader and Member of Parliament (MP), also launched yet another attack on a judge, this time around the circuit court judge handling the case of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Bono Regional Chairman, Kwame Baffoe, commonly known as Abronye DC.

The minority leader, speaking at a press briefing on May 17, 2026, fired shots at the circuit court judge, alleging that he doubts whether the judge passed his law exams.

According to Afenyo-Markin, he will continue to disrespect the circuit court judge until he upholds the law, alleging that the judge has no respect for his own judicial oath.

Speaking at a press briefing on May 17, 2026, Afenyo-Markin stated, “That judge has no respect for his own judicial oath. I don’t think he read the law. That circuit court judge called Niger. I have no respect for him. For a judge to say that he’s remanding him into BNI custody until the case is finally determined, such a judge can never have my respect.

“I pray that he summons me for contempt. I will continue to disrespect him until he upholds the law. He’s gone beyond his judicial function, and it is not his first time. It’s as if he has been selected purposely to achieve this. He doesn’t talk law. I don’t know whether he ever passed his law exams. He’s a shame,” he fumed.

Afenyo-Markin added, “It’s a shame on the judiciary, and my Lord Baffoe must pay attention to this, for whatever it is, it’s about his legacy. I’m told that by December, he will be 70, and he will be gone. Is that the legacy he wants to leave after Torkornoo was booted out of office and all manner of accusations levelled against Torkornoo? Is that the judiciary?

“The judiciary, they said, they were going to reset. Is that a reset? Where a judge will say he is remanding an accused person because if he allows him to go home, if he grants him bail, he’s likely to talk again, so he should remain in custody?” he said.

List social media commentators arrested since Mahama became president

Following the return of President John Dramani Mahama to office on January 7, 2025, there has been a wave of arrests involving social media commentators accused of spreading hate speech, inciting violence, and targeting public officials online.

At his first media briefing on Wednesday, September 10, President Mahama called for stricter regulation of social media platforms, warning that apps such as TikTok, X, Facebook, and WhatsApp are increasingly being used to spread dangerous and inflammatory content.

Citing the ongoing Bawku conflict, Mahama expressed concern over incendiary online comments that he said were deepening divisions and fuelling violence.

According to John Mahama, some social media posts connected to the conflict were encouraging hatred among citizens and threatening national security.

John Mahama further issued a strong warning to individuals using social media to promote hate speech and incitement, stressing that Ghanaian authorities have the ability to trace offenders through their digital footprints to arrest them.

“So, I’m sending a signal to Ghanaians that we can find you, you those doing hate speeches and things, we’ll use your IP numbers, we’ll trace you and deal with you under the criminal law, violence for inciting. But I think that beyond that, we must start making regulations for this new media because it’s unregulated, so everybody takes a phone and says anything”.

True to his remarks, several social media commentators have since been arrested over allegations of hate speech, threats, incitement, and attacks on public officials.

In this article, we take a look at some of the social media commentators who have been arrested since President Mahama returned to office.

“Security agencies don’t need my permission to arrest you” – Speaker Bagbin tells MPs 

Alban Bagbin, the Speaker of Parliament, has told Members of Parliament that security agencies do not require his permission to arrest or invite them for questioning.

Speaker Bagbin noted that security agencies are only obligated to formally inform his office of such actions.

According to Alban Bagbin, there is a growing misconception that security agencies must first seek approval from the Speaker before acting against lawmakers.

He explained that his office’s role is limited to being notified of any incident involving an MP, and to assess whether parliamentary privilege or immunity applies in each case.

Speaking to Members of Parliament during the Second Meeting of the Second Session of Parliament on Thursday, May 21, Alban Bagbin explained, “It’s not for the security agents to seek my permission before arresting or inviting a member of parliament for questioning. It’s not. It’s for them to inform me and include the circumstances or the allegations that have created the suspicion”.

His comments follows Justice Abdulai, a Private legal practitioner, has demanded that the Minority Leader in Parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, be cited for contempt for his comments against a circuit court judge.

According to Justice Abdulai, Afenyo-Markin is fully aware that parliamentary immunity cannot shield him from contempt proceedings.

He described the Minority leaders’ comments against the circuit court judge as inappropriate and amounted to contempt of court.

Speaking to GHOne TV, Justice Abdulai stated, “The Minority Leader is very much aware of this. The Minority Leader is a senior lawyer. He knows very well that contempt of court is part of the process and that he cannot rely on his parliamentary immunity”.

“Historically, parliamentary immunity was designed to protect members of parliament from abuse by the executive. Today, we no longer have that kind of situation because we have systems in place to check abuses by the executive against parliamentarians,” he explained.

“And so, if a parliamentarian relies on his immunity to abuse the court, I would insist that the appropriate authorities in this particular case, unfortunately, it can only be the court, invoke its authority to cite him for contempt. And I would strongly urge that to happen,” he added.

Justice Abdulai comments follows, the Minority Leader and Member of Parliament (MP) who launched yet another attack on a judge, this time around the circuit court judge handling the case of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Bono Regional Chairman, Kwame Baffoe, commonly known as Abronye DC.

The minority leader, speaking at a press briefing on May 17, 2026, fired shots at the circuit court judge, alleging that he doubts whether the judge passed his law exams.

According to Afenyo-Markin, he will continue to disrespect the circuit court judge until he upholds the law, alleging that the judge has no respect for his own judicial oath.

Speaking at a press briefing on May 17, 2026, Afenyo-Markin stated, “That judge has no respect for his own judicial oath. I don’t think he read the law. That circuit court judge called Niger. I have no respect for him. For a judge to say that he’s remanding him into BNI custody until the case is finally determined, such a judge can never have my respect.

“I pray that he summons me for contempt. I will continue to disrespect him until he upholds the law. He’s gone beyond his judicial function, and it is not his first time. It’s as if he has been selected purposely to achieve this. He doesn’t talk law. I don’t know whether he ever passed his law exams. He’s a shame,” he fumed.

Afenyo-Markin added, “It’s a shame on the judiciary, and my Lord Baffoe must pay attention to this, for whatever it is, it’s about his legacy. I’m told that by December, he will be 70, and he will be gone. Is that the legacy he wants to leave after Torkornoo was booted out of office and all manner of accusations levelled against Torkornoo? Is that the judiciary?

“The judiciary, they said, they were going to reset. Is that a reset? Where a judge will say he is remanding an accused person because if he allows him to go home, if he grants him bail, he’s likely to talk again, so he should remain in custody?” he said.

Wontumi given 7-day ultimatum to file witness statement, or face judgement

The Accra High Court has given the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, commonly known as Chairman Wontumi, a 7-day ultimatum to file witness statement or face judgment.

In court on Thursday, May 21, Wontumi mounted the witness box to testify in his trial under cross-examination by the Deputy Attorney General for his alleged illegal mining operations on his Samreboi concession.

Wontumi, among other things, claimed that he was unaware that the prosecution’s second witness, Henry Okum, was undertaking mining activities on his concession because he had an agreement with him to carry out reclamation exercises.

“I didn’t give him permission to mine. He came to reclaim the land and plant coconut trees so that when the coconuts mature, we would share,” he told the court.

Wontumi further denied allegations that he assisted witness Henry Okum (PW2) to engage in mining activities on the concession of Akonta Mining by acquiring excavators or other earth-moving equipment for mining operations.

“That is not true. I do not know the kind of work he carried out beyond reclamation and planting trees. I did not assist him in purchasing any earth-moving equipment,” he stated.

Part of the cross-examination by the Deputy Attorney General and Wontumi is as follows.

“Srem-Sai: I am putting it to you that it is because you knew that he is a small-scale miner that you gave him permission to enter A3’s concession and to mine.

Wontumi: My lady, that is not true. Akonta Mining, our interest is gold. And that you have to pay millions of dollars before you acquire a mining license. And if the reason why we acquired the license is gold, why would we give the profit that we will gain from mining to another person to mine, while Akonta Mining will not gain anything from it? So, it is not true.

He (Henry Okum) came that he wanted to reclaim the land and plant coconut so that when it matures, we share. Akonta Mining never had any mining contract with him, and he is also not part of Akonta Mining.

“Srem-Sai: I am putting it to you that because you knew the purpose of allowing him to enter A3’s concession was to mine you helped him to purchase heavy-duty earth-moving equipment to use on the land for mining.

Wontumi: That is not true. From the beginning, when I was called at the police station, they told me that Mr Martin Kpebu says I have gone to do galamsey. And that they have arrested people with guns, cars and gold, which they said was mine. When the time came for evidence to be taken, the one who reported me did not avail himself for me to question him. The guns, the ammunition, the gold, the cars are not mine.

Martin Kpebu and co. who made a report that they have arrested PW2 and PW1 that they when done to see gold, guns, ammunition’s and cars and they said they were not doing galamsey and I was not arrested at the scene where I have not given permission to any one neither has A3 given permission to anyone to go and mine on the concession and all the items they confiscated at the scene and I do not know anything about them, I rather has been brought to court and the people who claimed the items belong to them have been left and brought to court as witnesses against me.

Srem-Sai: I am putting it to you that you chose not to visit A3’s concession and to be seen there simply because you want to avoid any physical connection which with what PW2 and his employees were doing for you.

Wontumi: My lady that is not true. Now that I have been brought here, what they are charging me with is that a land that belongs to Akonta Mining, I have assigned it to PW2. My Lady, I cannot do that. It is only the minister who has that power to do that.”

Wontumi, after being discharged, the court directed defence lawyers to file their remaining witnesses before May 28.

Presiding Judge Audrey Kocuvie-Tay ordered the defence to file their witness statements in 7 days, failure of which would result in final addresses and judgment in the case.

Meanwhile, the case has been adjourned to May 28 for continuation.

NDC did not promise automatic gov’t appointments for all youths – Asiedu Nketiah

The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, has clarified that the party did not promise automatic government appointments for all young people.

According to Asiedu Nketia, the NDC job promise is focused on skills training and entrepreneurship support.

He disclosed that youth unemployment remains the country’s biggest challenge; however, he noted that there is a misunderstanding of the NDC’s campaign message.

Speaking to supporters in the Nandom Constituency on Wednesday, May 20, Asiedu Nketia explained, “It is true that when we were campaigning, the biggest problem in the country then and is still the biggest problem now is youth unemployment. So we promise that when we come into power, we will implement initiatives that will address the unemployment issue”.

“Some of you have interpreted that to mean that everybody will be given an appointment letter to work in government service. Please, that is not what we mean,” he said.

“What we mean is that when a country is growing, it gets to a point where other means of employment become more rewarding than government work,” he said.

“So what the government does is to train the youth in their talent, their respective talents, and provide them with facilities and seed capital to start businesses that will grow the economy.”

He further added, “But we seem to be thinking that if you are not given a government appointment letter, then you don’t have employment. Please, it is not going to be possible for the government to write appointment letters for every youth in the country”.

“That was why when we were campaigning, we told you that you don’t need a certificate to be able to work. And so we will implement policies like the free apprenticeship program, like the entrepreneurship program, the youth in enterprise program, and then we will implement the 1 million quotas program,” he added.

In related news, Dr John Abdulai Jinapor, the Member of Parliament for Yapei Kusawgu and Minister for Energy, has told disgruntled supporters of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) to exercise patience with the government.

The Yapei Kusawgu MP acknowledged growing expectations for jobs and economic support but urged supporters not to resort to violence.

Speaking to NDC party faithful during the NDC Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketiah’s thank-you tour in the Savannah Region, Dr John Abdulai Jinapor stated, “I will plead with you to be patient with the government. We are barely two years in office. We know you need jobs, we know you need businesses”.

John Jinapor highlighted that the Mahama government has already begun implementing interventions to support farmers and improve livelihoods.

He stated, “This year, I have funded the purchase of 2,000 bags of fertiliser and 2,000 bags of weedicides to help farmers. So please exercise patience for the party”.

“If we are sharing while in office, it is just a matter of time, everybody will get some, but when we use violence, and it lands the party in opposition, it will be our loss,” he added.

“Our wife” – Watch a light moment at PAC when MP Davis Opoku Ansah welcomed Tema Mayor Ebi Bright

There was a light moment at the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) on May 21, 2026, when Tema Mayor Ebi Bright took her seat.

The Mpraeso MP, Davis Opoku Ansah, playfully referred to Tema Mayor Ebi Bright as “my wife” and also extended belated birthday wishes to her.

In the viral video shared by TV3 on X, the MP welcomed the mayor during proceedings, saying, “This is our wife,” which prompted laughter and comments from colleagues.

The light moment follows South Dayi MP and NDC Majority Chief Whip, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, who publicly acknowledged Ebi Bright as his wife in a birthday message some days ago.

In related news, Ebi Bright, the Mayor of Tema, in an old video which has resurfaced, following Ghanaians’ expressed surprise over revelations that she is married to South Dayi Member of Parliament, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, has been explaining why she kept her marriage private.

According to Ebi Bright, she chose to keep her family life private to protect her home and children from public scrutiny, adding that she had always wanted to build a family while pursuing her career.

In the old video, Ebi Bright revealed she understood the demands of public life and decided not to expose her family to unnecessary attention.

The Mayor of Tema asserted that her decision gave her peace and protected her family from unwanted attention.

Speaking in an old video shared by Joy Prime, Ebi Bright detailed, “As a woman, you know how we’re raised? Each one of us knows who we are before we get to where everybody else knows us. You have to decide early on, are you a slay queen or you’re going to be leaving the space with your mind and with thoughts”.

“Do you want a family? And do you want to be a responsible homemaker, or do you just want to be out there? What price is too big for what you want? For me, I stepped into the political space, but even as an actress, the character was constant,” she stated.

“I always knew at every step of the way, what I was willing to pay for where I wanted to get to, I determined that my marriage and my family, my children, were paramount and that I did not have what it took to protect my family, if I thrust them into the public space. So, I kept my marriage private,” she added.

She further added, “I kept my children private. I was not all over social media. Immediately, I changed my polish, I snapped a picture, and I posted. I didn’t do all of those things”.

“It allowed me the space to grow. It allowed me the space to protect myself and my family from some of those fears. It protected me from some of the advances that might have been more offensive,” she stated.

“So, I wasn’t all over the place because I knew who I was. So, even if I wasn’t a politician, I knew that I still wanted to be a family person. It’s the character, and it’s knowing who you are and being steadfast with who you are… And for me, I protected my family,” she concluded.

Some Ghanaians reacting to the video stated, “Smart lady.

She’s extremely rare.

Not many women value privacy.

Not many women enforce boundaries.

She did well in protecting her family from fame”.

Another netizen added, “This is what we call WOMAN, not the fame-hungry slay queens with body edition deceiving young girls online. Hon. Ebi one in a million”.

“It’s been a difficult, very, very difficult seven years” – Papa Kwesi Nduom

Papa Kwesi Nduom, the Founder of GN Savings and Loans, has said the past seven years have been ‘difficult, very, very difficult’.

He further expressed gratitude to God for sustaining him and his team.  

 According to Papa Kwesi Nduom, Ghana is now in a very good political environment, adding that with the wind of restoration of their license, they are ready to play their role for Ghana to achieve the prosperity it needs.

Speaking to the media following the Court of Appeal has, by a unanimous decision, restored the licence of GN Savings and Loans Company Limited, Papa Kwesi Nduom stated, “It’s been a difficult, very, very difficult seven years. We want to thank the family. We want to thank all of our employees. We’ve had some very loyal, hardworking employees who have stood with us all these years”.

“And definitely, we give thanks to the Almighty for keeping us healthy enough to be where we are because this has been a very, very tough, very difficult time that we have gone through. It’s just unimaginable,” he added.

“We are in a very good political environment, and that environment has brought about a wind of change. We are expecting that with the licence restored, we will now play our part in making sure that this country achieves the level of prosperity that is needed,” he stated.

He further disclosed that GN Savings and Loans would, at the appropriate time, hold a press conference to brief Ghanaians”.

His comments follow, the Bank of Ghana (BoG) have been ordered by the Court of Appeal to restore the licence of GN Bank.

The appeal court ruling follows an earlier High Court ruling that upheld the revocation of the financial institution’s operating licence.

The Court of Appeal three-member panel directed that all assets of the bank be returned to its original owners.

The receiver has also been ordered to hand over management of the company to its previous management team.

The Court of Appeal ruling marks a major development in the long-running legal battle between GN Bank and the Bank of Ghana.

GN Bank, which officially commenced operations in 1997 as First National Savings and Loans (FNSL) Company Limited, was upgraded to a universal bank on September 4, 2014.

It expanded rapidly across the country, establishing one of the largest branch networks in the banking sector.

The central bank, however, at the time argued that its regulatory assessments revealed that GN Bank’s expansion was not supported by adequate capital buffers and sound risk management practices.

BoG discovered that GN Bank regularly breached key prudential requirements, including capital adequacy and liquidity ratios.

Also, the BoG, in its statement, showed high levels of non-performing loans (NPLs), significant exposure to related-party transactions, and poor corporate governance structures, which weakened the bank’s financial position over time.

Reports suggest that despite several directives and corrective measures issued by the BoG, comprising capital restoration plans and restrictions on certain banking activities, GN Bank was incapable of raising the required additional capital or restructuring its operations to restore solvency.

The bank was deemed severely undercapitalised and technically insolvent, prompting the BoG to ask the bank to downgrade to a savings and loans company, using the name GN Savings and Loans Company Ltd.

GN Bank’s license was then revoked in 2019 as part of the central bank’s efforts to protect depositors’ funds and stabilise the country’s financial sector.

“Your daughter, one of JM’s appointees, making nonsense of the Reset Agenda” – Kwesi Pratt told 

Samuel Koku Anyidoho, the former Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has told veteran journalist Kwesi Pratt Jnr that his daughter is one of President John Mahama’s appointees, making a nonsense of the ‘Reset Agenda’.

It will be recalled that Kwesi Pratt Jnr fired shots at President John Dramani Mahama’s appointees, accusing them of making a nonsense of Mahama’s Reset Agenda.

According to Kwesi Pratt, Mahama’s appointees are dancing around him in circles, making nonsense of all his proclamations.

He stressed that President Mahama’s appointees don’t care about the Reset agenda of his supposed legacy term, adding that they are more focused on succession battles than helping him deliver on his promises to Ghanaians.

He recounted that President Mahama came to solve Ghana’s problems, but many of the people he appointed do not care about the Reset Agenda.

Kwesi Pratt highlighted that President Mahama is being politically undermined by people within his own government who are more focused on succeeding him.

Speaking in an interview on PanAfrica TV, Kwesi Pratt argued, “To be honest, I feel very sad for President John Dramani Mahama; the betrayal of President John Dramani Mahama is monumental”.

“This is a gentleman who came to the people of Ghana and said, ‘ Look, there are problems with the country, and I want to solve the problems in the educational sector, health sector and so on. He proclaimed a reset agenda,” he stated.

He added, “And he appointed people to assist him to realise that objective. Many of the people he appointed to help him realise that objective don’t just care. They don’t care about reset. They don’t care about restructuring the economy. All they care about is replacing him”.

“Poor Mahama. Poor Mahama. And he’s sitting there being held hostage,” he said.

“He’s not been able to crack the whip. They’re dancing around him in circles and making nonsense of all the proclamations he has made. It’s unbelievable,” Pratt added.

“Visit the NDC social media platforms and see what is happening there. Who is talking about how to achieve the 24-hour economy? That’s not their concern. It’s about who is going to replace Mahama,” he said.

“So the people he appointed to help him leave a legacy are saying to us, ‘Oh, don’t worry, very soon you’ll become a lame duck. That’s what they say. They say, ‘By next year, you’ll be a lame dog. You have no power. We don’t have to respect him. So let’s start our campaign,” he added.

Reacting to Kwesi Pratt’s comments, Koku Anyidoho took to X, arguing that Kwesi Pratt’s daughter is among the appointees in the Mahama-led government “making nonsense” of the Reset agenda because ‘she just talks rubbish’.

In a post shared on X, Koku Anyidoho wrote, “Kwesi Pratt’s daughter is one of the JM appointees making nonsense of the ‘Reset Agenda’ because she just talks rubbish. Kwesi Prat himself is a BIG liability to this JM Administration because of his gross hypocrisy”.

“Who is Kwesi Prat blaming? He should blame himself first. Is he not the one who thinks he has hijacked the NDC for his personal parochial gain? Is he not the one messing up our Foreign Policy with his surrogate?

He is the biggest existential threat to our survival as NDC. Kwesi Prat: Go and rebuild your CPP and leave us alone to rebuild our NDC – you have never been NDC so just leave us alone. Hypocrite and parasite. We shall flush him out of the NDC very soon,” he said.

“I want to talk about dumsor, but I fear I will be arrested” – Collins Adomako-Mensah

Collins Adomako Mensah, a former. Deputy Minister of Energy, speaking on Adom TV, has said he had wanted to talk about the power outages commonly known as dumsor being experienced in the country, but expressed that he might be arrested.

According to Collins Adomako Mensah, the recent arrest and detention of Agona West NPP Organiser, David Essandoh, who was picked up for allegedly saying “dumsor”, is back, making him now feel constrained in commenting on dumsor.

He further cited that the conduct of security agencies has created a climate of caution among politicians.

Speaking on Adom TV’s Badwam on May 20, 2026, Collins Adomako Mensah stated, “As a member of the Energy Committee, I even wanted to talk about dumsor, but I can no longer do so because I will be arrested. Coming from my constituency on Tuesday morning, there was no light. But once I talk about it, I fear I will be arrested,” he stated.

“One thing I fear most is the police. So, now, we are all quiet,” he said.

“David Essandoh was arrested for writing that dumsor is back and we had to intervene to bail him. So, now, I prefer to keep quiet,” the MP remarked.

In related news, Manasseh Azure Awuni, an award-winning investigative journalist, has penned a letter calling out President John Dramani Mahama over the constant arrest of opposing NPP members for publishing false news.

According to Manasseh Azure Awuni, when Mahama became president again, he expected nothing less, but he had seen Mahama change in that aspect as if Ghana had returned to the era of military governments.

Manasseh disclosed that the constant arrest of opposing NPP members is a blot on the Mahama presidency.

The award-winning investigative journalist noted that even though the president might not have a hand in the arrests, he must take action as they are affecting his reputation.

Part of his write-up read, “When you became president again, I expected nothing less because I hadn’t seen you change in that aspect of your character. That is why I feel so ashamed about what is happening now. It is as if we are in a military regime. Ghanaians, especially members of the opposition NPP, are constantly harassed under the widely abused law of publishing false news.

“Aside from Abronye, others have spent weeks in custody for no crime other than making harmless comments. Someone was arrested and detained for posting about power outages. Mr President, this is a blot on your presidency, a severe dent in your high reputation as a friend of the media and a guardian of free expression,” he said.

He added, “This is not the John Mahama I know, the Mahama whose high level of tolerance I could vouch for without batting an eyelid.”

His post added, “Why have I left the police and the judiciary to focus on you? An elder who sits at home and watches children eat the forbidden snake will not be left out when a roll call of the snake’s eaters is taken. So said the sages of old. And it remains true to this day.

“You appointed the IGP. You appointed the Director of the BNI. The political officeholders whose complaints have led to the arrest and detention of citizens are your appointees.

Calling your appointees and security agencies to order is not an interference in their lawful duty. It is safeguarding the integrity of our democracy, protecting the constitutionally guaranteed freedoms of the people”, he added.

He added, “There’s a reason members of the governing party are not the target. The security agencies and some judges have resorted to these shameful actions because they are too eager to please the political authority headed by you. As we experienced in the past, members of the incumbent party do worse and get away with it.

Mr President, you mustn’t sit down and watch. It is your presidency. It is your legacy. Defend it. Don’t put those of us who trust in your tolerance to shame.

Free speech is not a crime, even if it is laced with stupidity, as is the case in many of these instances. The law against publishing false information that causes fear and panic is being abused. It is being used to settle political scores, and the head of state must be concerned”.

Police arrest TikToker Bawumia Ba for issuing threats against President Mahama

The Ghana Police Service have arrested TikToker Bawumia Ba, whose real name is Mahama Aminat, also known as Akosua Serwaa Minat.

The police statement disclosed that Akosua Serwaa Minat was arrested for allegedly issuing threats and making offensive remarks against President John Dramani Mahama in videos circulated on social media.

According to the police, the suspect appeared in TikTok videos allegedly insulting the President, threatening his life, and inciting others to attack both the President and his wife.

The Police revealed a joint operation involving the CVET and the Surveillance Unit of the National Operations Department led to the arrest of the suspect on May 20, 2026, at Sekyere Zongo in the Sekyere Kumawu District of the Ashanti Region.

The Ghana Police Service, in a Facebook post, wrote, “IGP’S CYBER VETTING AND ENFORCEMENT TEAM ARRESTS SUSPECT OVER THREATS AGAINST THE PRESIDENT IN VIRAL VIDEOS

The IGP’s Cyber Vetting and Enforcement Team (CVET) has arrested suspect Mahama Aminat, also known as Akosua Serwaa Minat, for offensive conduct and issuing threats against the President of the Republic, His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, in videos circulated on social media.

The suspect was captured in some videos posted on TikTok making insulting remarks about the President, threatening the life of the President and inciting others to harm both the President and his wife.

Following the circulation of the videos, on 19th May 2026, a joint operation team involving the CVET and the Surveillance Unit of the National Operations Department, arrested the suspect on 20th May 2026 at Sekyere Zongo in the Sekyere Kumawu District of the Ashanti Region.

The suspect is currently in Police custody and will be put before the court”.

Some Ghanaians reacting to her arrest stated, “One video can destroy years of peace and freedom….. Know the online games you play, you gon win a stupid prize”.

“The things she said were unpleasant, but she wasn’t asking people to do that; she said God, water, something.  This is becoming too much.  She’s wrong, but this shouldn’t be criminalised.  It’s absolutely unnecessary…!!!!  Listen to the whole video on less, it’s not the same video we’re talking about”, a netizen added.

“Good news! We must sanitize the system. The fooling is becoming too much. Only 16 months and you’re all bleeding… The opposition de3 e go long give you menners”, a netizen added.

NDC stealing our roads – Dr Bawumia

Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, has levelled an allegation that the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC).  

According to Dr Bawumia, the NDC is stealing the roads constructed and commissioned by the former NPP government under the Akufo-Addo government.

He disclosed that the NPP have now compiled videos of all the roads they completed while in office to ensure that the NDC does not steal their roads.

Speaking to the Minority Caucus in a closed-door briefing on the eve of Parliament’s resumption, Dr Bawumia stated, The Yendi to Tatale road, it’s amazing they had the audacity to claim, it is obviously clear those like that we have commission.

Thankfully, now we have put together all the videos of roads that we completed when we were in office, and we will make them available to our communicators and to all of you so that they cannot steal any roads,” he added.  

Some Ghanaians reacting to the viral video shared on X wrote, “Is the road belongs to them or all Ghanaians to benefit from eeiish this guy is not presidential material aswer what’s this nonsense eno be him talk say Ghanaians no go chop road”.

“Hrrrr @MBawumia, are u sure you want to become the president of Ghana? Paa, what nonsense are u talking abt the Ndc is stealing ur roads. S3 s3n does the roads benefit Ghanaians, including u or it belong to ur family members only? Are you the same guy who said we’re not going chop roads, you, eh?”, one X user added.

A netizen added, “Now it’s confirmed that Bawumia does not speak from what he knows and believes, but some people are just giving this innocent man some speech to go read for the public to vilify him”.

“A man cannot just make any reasonable statement that depicts someone who is mentally sound to be president. Anytime he speaks, people hate him more. Maybe they should be writing speeches for him. He is just not a good speaker”, one X user added.

“They can’t steal what belongs to Ghana as a country. We don’t care who fixed the road; we just need it fixed.

And the fact that you first think about NDC stealing the roads is so telling about the NPP party’s character”, a netizen added.

In related news, Dr Bawumia has made a decisive signal that the party has finished the period of introspection following their defeat in the 2024 elections.

According to Dr Bawumia, the NPP’s posture going into the new parliamentary session must be that of a “government-in-waiting” ahead of the 2028 general elections.

Dr Bawumia highlighted that the minority should no longer view itself as a wounded political group.

He stressed that the action in Parliament, public statement and constituency engagement must reinforce the perception that the NPP is ready to govern again.

Dr Bawumia stated, “Let every Ghanaian who watches this session come away thinking: the NPP is ready, and the NPP is on our side.

“The road to 2028 will not be won in one rally or one manifesto launch,” he told the Caucus. “It will be won day by day, question by question, statement by statement, community by community, and constituency by constituency. And in that work, you, the Minority Caucus, are indispensable.”

“We have finished the period of introspection. We must now position ourselves credibly as a party preparing to govern from 7th January 2029,” he stated.

Dr Bawumia added, “We must always project this posture, that we are a party preparing to govern. This will send a strong and well-meaning message to the people of Ghana and emphasise our belief that it is only the NPP that can move this nation on a glorious path”.

“I will be directly involved in supporting you to achieve this. The entire party is also building a strong architecture to support you through the sector committees, so that we sing from the same hymn sheet and act with a coordinated strategy at every point in time,” he added.

Evacuation of Ghanaians from South Africa postponed as over 800 register

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced a temporary postponement of the planned evacuation of Ghanaian nationals from South Africa.

In a post shared by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sam Okudzeto Ablakwa, revealed that more than 800 Ghanaians have registered to be evacuated.

He disclosed that Senior Government Officials on both sides are engaging on South African legal conditions, passenger screening, managing the high numbers and multi-institutional coordination as they work on a new date for the evacuation.

In a May 21 statement, issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated, “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs wishes to provide an update on the evacuation of Ghanaians from South Africa, which was scheduled to commence today, 21st May, 2026.

The Government of Ghana notes that more than 800 Ghanaians have registered with our High Commission in Pretoria seeking to be evacuated due to the latest wave of xenophobic attacks”.

“Considering the numbers involved and the South African legal conditions that have to be met, including mandatory passenger screening, multi-institutional coordination, and flight permits, the planned evacuation has been deferred by a few days to enable our High Commission to meet these evacuation conditions.”

Earlier, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa announced plans to evacuate the first batch of 300 Ghanaians from South Africa on May 21, 2026.

The Government of Ghana moves to follow Ghanaian citizens in South Africa who have been affected by recent incidents of xenophobia and violence.

Announcing the evacuation effort, Sam Okudzeto Ablakwa, reiterated that the welfare and safety of all Ghanaians is a non-negotiable priority of the current Administration.

He disclosed that the evacuation exercise approved by President John Dramani Mahama will be fully funded by the state as part of efforts to protect affected citizens.

Reports suggest the evacuation will take place through the O.R. Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg.

In a post shared on X, Ablakwa wrote, “The first batch of 300 Ghanaians will be evacuated from South Africa on May 21, 2026.

The welfare and safety of all Ghanaians is a non-negotiable priority of the Mahama Administration”.

Meanwhile, a South African activist identified as Queen Vee and her team have once again fired shots at Ghanaian leaders.

According to the South African activist, Ghana’s leadership has failed, adding that they only helped Emmanuel Asamoah to make themselves look like heroes.

Queen Vee argued that Ghana is now one of the largest gold producers, noting that Ghanaians are not supposed to be suffering, but we have left it in the hands of the wrong leaders, who are making them suffer.

Speaking in a viral video shared on X, Queen Vee was once again captured confronting yet another Ghanaian, saying, “I can promise you, there’s not going to be peace. You will be chased away. Let me be clear. We’re going to ensure that all of us in Africa, we are all in our respective countries and fixing them. Ghana is now one of the largest gold producers. Ghanaians are not supposed to be suffering, but we have left it in the hands of the wrong leaders”.

“Now see what they did, what your leaders did with Emmanuel. They made it seem like they are heroes, but they forgot that the reason why Emmanuel and your kind are here is because they have failed. Now they love Ghanaians; they will love you guys, because if you love your own children, you are not going to let them go look for food next door, you’re going to ensure that you provide for them”.

“Even now, once they hear us complaining again, they will say xenophobia. No, your leaders have failed. Ghana’s leadership has failed,” she said.

“if we had not named, we would have been accused of a cover-up” – Prof Akosa replies GMA over Amissah’s death report

Prof. Agyemang Badu Akosa, the Chairman of the committee that investigated the death of engineer Charles Amissah, has responded to concerns of the Ghana Medical Association (GMA).

Professor Akosa defended the reasoning behind the decision to disclose the names of Health workers, arguing that transparency and public accountability must take precedence in healthcare investigations.

According to Professor Akosa, if they had not named the health workers, the committee would have been accused of a cover-up.

Speaking on Channel One TV on May 20, 2026, Professor Akosa stated, “The association of which I have been president could have called these doctors, and even found out what actually happened. I think they would have changed their tune.

“Let’s be honest, if we had not named, we would have been accused of a cover-up. These are the professionals; they cover it for their own colleagues,” he stated.

“I still insist on proper patient care. You, the doctor, introduce yourself to the patient. My name is Professor Akosa, I am so-so and so, and I’m coming to see you. That is the proper way of patient care,” he explained.

“Yes, it’s a union, and you are there to protect the welfare of your people, but for Christ’s sake, if your people do things, particularly in healthcare delivery and their professional life, you should be able to call them to question,” he said.

“This is a public interest and public accountability issue,” he stressed.

Professor Agyemang Badu Akosa also clarified that the committee deliberately used the phrase “medical neglect” instead of “medical negligence,” adding that negligence is a legal term.

He added, “When you said Charles Amissah did not die from trauma, but from medical neglect… that’s a very big thing to say.

“This gentleman bled all the way from 22:32 right down to his death, and there was nowhere where there was an intervention to stop the bleeding,” he said.

“The Emergency Medical Technicians did not pack the wound properly to stop the bleeding,” he alleged.

“If they had intervened and packed properly and set up an IV line, this patient would not have died. So for me, that is where the medical neglect starts,” he stated.

His comments follow, Dr Ernest Yorke, the President of the Ghana Medical Association, has said the decision to publicly identify the doctors in the investigative report into the death of Charles Amissah as “unfortunate”.

The GMA president raised strong concerns over the handling of the investigative report into the death of Charles Amissah.

According to the GMA president, the naming of medical professionals in the findings has exposed them to public hostility and personal risk.

Meanwhile, the family of the late engineer Charles Amissah has filed a lawsuit against three hospitals, several medical professionals and the Attorney General following the death of their brother.

According to the family, the suit follows a chain of negligent acts that led to her brother’s death after a road accident in Accra.

Dr Matilda Amissah, acting as administratrix of the estate of her late brother, Charles Amissah, is seeking GH¢20 million in damages, alleging negligence across multiple health facilities led to his death at the High Court in Accra over the February 2026 incident.

The Ghana Police Hospital, Greater Accra Regional Hospital, Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, several doctors and nurses attached to the facilities, as well as the Attorney General’s Department, have all been named in the suit.

“We are in a very good political environment” – Nduom speaks on the restoration of GN Bank licence

Papa Kwesi Nduom has broken his silence following the restoration of the licence of GN Savings and Loans, formerly known as GN Bank.

According to Papa Kwesi Nduom, Ghana is now in a very good political environment, adding that with the wind of restoration of their license, they are ready to play their role for Ghana to achieve the prosperity it needs.

Speaking to the media following the Court of Appeal has, by a unanimous decision, restored the licence of GN Savings and Loans Company Limited, Papa Kwesi Nduom stated, “We are in a very good political environment. That environment has brought about a wind of change, and with our licence now restored, we are ready to play our part in ensuring that this country achieves the level of prosperity it needs”.

His comments follow, the Bank of Ghana (BoG) have been ordered by the Court of Appeal to restore the licence of GN Bank.

The appeal court ruling follows an earlier High Court ruling that upheld the revocation of the financial institution’s operating licence.

The Court of Appeal three-member panel directed that all assets of the bank be returned to its original owners.

The receiver has also been ordered to hand over management of the company to its previous management team.

The Court of Appeal ruling marks a major development in the long-running legal battle between GN Bank and the Bank of Ghana.

GN Bank, which officially commenced operations in 1997 as First National Savings and Loans (FNSL) Company Limited, was upgraded to a universal bank on September 4, 2014.

It expanded rapidly across the country, establishing one of the largest branch networks in the banking sector.

The central bank, however, at the time argued that its regulatory assessments revealed that GN Bank’s expansion was not supported by adequate capital buffers and sound risk management practices.

BoG discovered that GN Bank regularly breached key prudential requirements, including capital adequacy and liquidity ratios.

Also, the BoG, in its statement, showed high levels of non-performing loans (NPLs), significant exposure to related-party transactions, and poor corporate governance structures, which weakened the bank’s financial position over time.

Reports suggest that despite several directives and corrective measures issued by the BoG, comprising capital restoration plans and restrictions on certain banking activities, GN Bank was incapable of raising the required additional capital or restructuring its operations to restore solvency.

The bank was deemed severely undercapitalised and technically insolvent, prompting the BoG to ask the bank to downgrade to a savings and loans company, using the name GN Savings and Loans Company Ltd.

GN Bank’s license was then revoked in 2019 as part of the central bank’s efforts to protect depositors’ funds and stabilise the country’s financial sector.

High Court grants Abronye DC GH¢100K bail

The NPP Bono Regional Chairman, Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC, has been granted bail by the Accra High Court after he was earlier remanded into custody.

Abronye’s lawyers, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, who were led by former Attorney-General Godfred Yeboah Dame, moved a motion for bail pending trial.

Counsel for the applicant submitted, “We move in terms of the motion paper and pray that the applicant be granted bail pending trial.”

Deputy Attorney-General Dr Justice Srem-Sai, who represented the prosecution, indicated that the Republic was not opposed to the application.

The High Court subsequently granted Abronye bail in the sum of GH¢100,000 with two sureties.

Part of his bail conditions is to report to the Police CID once every fortnight, surrender all travel documents, and refrain from travelling outside the jurisdiction without permission.

The news follows, Manasseh Azure Awuni, an award-winning investigative journalist, has penned a letter calling out President John Dramani Mahama over the constant arrest of opposing NPP members for publishing false news.

According to Manasseh Azure Awuni, when Mahama became president again, he expected nothing less, but he had seen Mahama change in that aspect as if Ghana had returned to the era of military governments.

Manasseh disclosed that the constant arrest of opposing NPP members is a blot on the Mahama presidency.

The award-winning investigative journalist noted that even though the president might not have a hand in the arrests, he must take action as they are affecting his reputation.

Part of his write-up read, “When you became president again, I expected nothing less because I hadn’t seen you change in that aspect of your character. That is why I feel so ashamed about what is happening now. It is as if we are in a military regime. Ghanaians, especially members of the opposition NPP, are constantly harassed under the widely abused law of publishing false news.

“Aside from Abronye, others have spent weeks in custody for no crime other than making harmless comments. Someone was arrested and detained for posting about power outages. Mr President, this is a blot on your presidency, a severe dent in your high reputation as a friend of the media and a guardian of free expression,” he said.

He added, “This is not the John Mahama I know, the Mahama whose high level of tolerance I could vouch for without batting an eyelid.”

His post added, “Why have I left the police and the judiciary to focus on you? An elder who sits at home and watches children eat the forbidden snake will not be left out when a roll call of the snake’s eaters is taken. So said the sages of old. And it remains true to this day.

“You appointed the IGP. You appointed the Director of the BNI. The political officeholders whose complaints have led to the arrest and detention of citizens are your appointees.

Calling your appointees and security agencies to order is not an interference in their lawful duty. It is safeguarding the integrity of our democracy, protecting the constitutionally guaranteed freedoms of the people”, he added.

He added, “There’s a reason members of the governing party are not the target. The security agencies and some judges have resorted to these shameful actions because they are too eager to please the political authority headed by you. As we experienced in the past, members of the incumbent party do worse and get away with it.

Mr President, you mustn’t sit down and watch. It is your presidency. It is your legacy. Defend it. Don’t put those of us who trust in your tolerance to shame.

Free speech is not a crime, even if it is laced with stupidity, as is the case in many of these instances. The law against publishing false information that causes fear and panic is being abused. It is being used to settle political scores, and the head of state must be concerned”.

“Release Abronye DC immediately” – Franklin Cudjoe demands 

Franklin Cudjoe, President of IMANI Africa, has demanded the release of the NPP Bono Regional Chairman’s Abronye DC.

The IMANI President highlighted that it is not the duty of police officers to sheepishly appease politicians by arresting anyone who freely expresses an opinion.  

Franklin Cudjoe further cited a case in South Africa where a Judge once considered the comment “President Zuma is a thief” to be fair comment.

In a post on X, Franklin Cudjoe wrote, “Please release Abronye DC immediately. It should not be the duty of police officers to sheepishly appease politicians by arresting anyone who freely expresses an opinion on another person’s perceived political association, or who simply questions why certain projects have stalled.

A judge in South Africa once considered the comment “President Zuma is a thief” to be a fair comment. People insult us all the time. I have learned that not every barking dog requires attention—and there are far too many stray, rabid dogs everywhere. Avoid them”.

In related news, Dr Joshua Jebuntie Zaato, Senior Lecturer and Political/Policy Analyst at the University of Ghana, has said that if the NPP’s Bono Regional Chairman, Abronye DC, dies in police cells, a thousand more will rise.  

According to Dr Zaato, governments should focus on performance rather than targeting critics, adding that public criticism cannot be stopped through arrests or intimidation.

Speaking on New Day on TV3, Dr Joshua Zaato stated, “Don’t pour out your failures on innocent communicators. They are not the cause of your problems”.

“If your economy is that robust and strong, if what you are doing is that good, let it speak for itself,” he stated.

“You don’t need to arrest Abronye because even if Abronye dies in police cells, a thousand Abronyes will rise up,” he said.

“Even if others are arrested, a thousand more will rise up because you cannot prevent people from speaking,” he added.

Meanwhile, the Accra Circuit Court has given its reasoning behind the denial of the Bono Regional Chairman of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwame Baffoe, commonly known as Abronye DC.

Reports suggest Abronye appeared before Judge Joseph Yennuban Kunsong on May 13, where he pleaded not guilty to charges. 

Abronye’s lawyer, Daniel Martey Addo and Eugene Ansah pleaded with the court to grant their client bail, citing earlier cases were he was granted bail.

However, the state prosecutors led by DSP Emmanuel Nyamekye and ACP Alex Odonkor opposed the application.

They argued that the accused allegedly committed the current offence while already on bail in a separate case.

Judge Kunsong stated: “The court is of the view that when granted bail, the accused will commit further offences. This court specifically relies on Section 96(5)(c) and (d) of Act 30 of 1960.”

The court refused the bail application and ordered that Abronye DC be remanded into the custody of the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) until his next court appearance on May 27, 2026.

The Judge further directed prosecutors to complete their investigations and file all disclosures within 14 days.

“Even now, once they hear us complaining again, they will say xenophobia. No, your leaders have failed. Ghana’s leadership has failed,” she said.

Some Ghanaians reacting to the video stated, “As it is now, someone is trying so hard to travel to SA. This country is suffocating… see its people…why are you people still going there … like how?? And those, why are you not coming home … you want them to bring your corpse right ?? Look at how they are smh”.

One X user added, “ Even if every Ghanaian leaves your country, it will still be a pit hole. You are the reason why the white man will never respect blacks. Shame on you”.

A netizen added, “What I don’t understand about this is, are they sacking everyone? Even African foreigners with the right documentation, visas and legitimate tax-paying businesses or jobs? Or just the ones they believe are not doing anything and are selling in places like on the streets?”.

“This is actually going to put pressure on most African governments to use their resources to build the country without giving away those minerals and resources to foreign companies like Goldfields, etc. to loot them away. Goldfields is from South Africa so game on!!!”, an X user noted.

A netizen added, “I’ve come to realise that the people who have been colonised the most are Africans, not just physically but mentally. Mentally, many Africans are enslaved, the same Europeans they welcome also feel like they are the saviours, but yet welcome don’t welcome their own neighbours”.

One more netizen added, “Why are South Africans making it look like it’s a crime to work in another country?

I don’t encourage illegal entry into countries, especially within Africa, but when that happens let’s not treat them like they’re not humans. There are soo many SA’ns living illegally elsewhere’.

Meanwhile, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, has announced plans to evacuate the first batch of 300 Ghanaians from South Africa on May 21, 2026.

The Government of Ghana moves to follow Ghanaian citizens in South Africa who have been affected by recent incidents of xenophobia and violence.
