Speaker Bagbin refers Afenyo-Markin to Privileges Committee for ‘embarrassing’ Ghana’s parliament in Nigeria

Alban Bagbin, the Speaker of Parliament, has referred Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin to the Privileges Committee for further investigation after embarrassing Ghana’s parliament in Nigeria.

Speaker Bagbin’s decision follows Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga’s petitioning him after the minority leader was excluded from Ghana’s ECOWAS delegation, but still showed up at the ECOWAS parliament in Nigeria.

Speaking on the floor of parliament on Thursday, November 27, the Speaker told the House, “I refer the complaint against the Minority Leader to the Privileges Committee and report to the House.”

“I urge the Committee to discharge its mandate with decorum and impartiality. I urge MPs to refrain from public commentary,” he added.

It will be recalled that in July 2025, Parliament adopted the composition of Ghana’s delegation to the Parliament of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).

The Majority Leader moved the motion and proposed amendments, including the replacement of the Minority Leader, Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin, with his deputy, Patricia Appiagyei, to meet the 30% female quota specified by ECOWAS.

He also changed Dr Bryan Acheampong as observer and made Millicent Yeboah Amankwah a member of the delegation.

Speaking on the floor of parliament on Tuesday, November 11, 2025, Ayariga recounted, “Mr Speaker, I think somewhere on the 22nd of July [2025], this House passed a resolution constituting the delegation of Ghana to the ECOWAS Community Parliament. Mr Speaker, if you recall, we had removed the name of the Minority Leader, Honourable Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin, Member for Effutu, from the list of Ghana’s delegation to the ECOWAS Community Parliament,” he said.

“Mr Speaker, this resolution of this Parliament was communicated to the ECOWAS Parliament by, I believe, your good self. The ECOWAS Community Parliament convened to sit in Port Harcourt in the River State of Nigeria from the 25th to the 28th of September 2025,” he said.

Ayariga continued, “Our Parliament’s delegation, as constituted by our resolution, went to Port Harcourt and found the Honorable Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin sitting there, refusing to give way as directed by this Parliament.”

The Majority leader noted that when it was time for the new delegation to be sworn in, the ECOWAS Parliament initially refused, citing the conduct of Afenyo-Markin as disobedience.

He recounted, “Indeed, whilst our nominated delegation was there and it was time to swear in members, the ECOWAS Parliament refused to swear in Ghana’s delegation. They refused to swear in Ghana’s delegation and said that they will not (sic) …. They caved in and swore in four members of our delegation. Mr Speaker Afenyo-Markin was at that session of the ECOWAS Parliament, attended the session of the ECOWAS Parliament in clear defiance of a resolution of this Parliament”.

He further petitioned the Speaker to refer Minority Leader Afenyo-Markin to the Privileges Committee.

According to Mahama Ayariga, it is time that the Honourable Afenyo-Markin be put in his proper place.”

He added, “The provisions of Order 31 state that any act or omission which affronts the dignity or authority of the Parliament of Ghana, or produces any such effect, constitutes contempt of Parliament and a breach of parliamentary privilege.

“Mr Speaker, by defying this Parliament’s resolution removing him from the ECOWAS Parliament and actually going to Port Harcourt and attending the session, he has clearly affronted the dignity and engaged in an act that constitutes an affront to the authority of this Parliament. And it is time that the Honourable Afenyo-Markin be put in his proper place”.

Mahama Ayariga added that Afenyo-Markin’s action is contempt of parliament and a breach of parliamentary privileges.

See the full MoU signed by mission schools amid SHS-religion brouhaha

Following the President of the Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference, Most Rev. Matthew Kwasi Gyamfi, revelation of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between mission schools amid the SHS-Religion brouhaha, the document has surfaced.

Most Rev. Matthew Kwasi Gyamfi revealed that a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between all major religious groups, including Muslims, Catholics, Protestants, SDAs, and even the Police Service, on how religious tolerance should be handled in schools.

According to the Most Rev. Matthew Kwasi Gyamfi, Catholics will not abandon their principles so that every religion is practised, adding that when a Catholic child goes to a Muslim or Presbyterian school, they must also respect that school’s rules.

The MoU, which was agreed and adopted by Government-Assisted and Private Mission Schools and validated on April 15, 2024.

Parts of the MOU read, “The schools shall state that no student is forced to select/choose a school against their will, hence the said student must be abreast with the culture, values, ethos, and the rules and regulations of the school of choice.

“… Rules and regulations of the schools should be made readily available and accessible to the general public. Pupils/students, parents, and guardians should be taken through orientation on all rules and regulations, including fasting, religious place of worship, and dress code”.

It added, “On the issue of fasting, students should be allowed to fast; however, permission should be sought by parents/guardians from school authorities, and requisite counselling provided before the period of fast commences. Students will, however, abide by all school rules and regulations. Any health-related effects of the fast, on the other hand, are not the school’s responsibility”.

“Only the prescribed uniform and/or mode of dressing of the particular mission-based school must be respected, and parents together with their wards must abide by the given directives.”

The debate has been ignited following Dominic Ayine, Attorney General and Minister for Justice, responding to a legal challenge over religious rules at Wesley Girls’ Senior High School (SHS).

According to the Attorney General, Wesley Girls is not a public school in the ordinary sense. It is a school owned by the Methodist Church but managed and funded by the government of Ghana.

in December 2024, Shafic Osman, a Ghanaian lawyer and PhD candidate at the London School of Economics, sued Wesley Girls’ Senior High School and the Government at the Supreme Court.

The case filed cited Wesley Girls’ restricting Muslim students from wearing the hijab, fasting during Ramadan, and practising other aspects of their faith.

Shafic Osman argued that a public school cannot lawfully restrict the religious rights of Muslim students nor compel them to practise a faith they do not subscribe to.

He grounded his case in the Constitution and international human rights principles, arguing that Wesley Girls’ rules violate Ghana’s constitutional protections for religious freedom.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has ordered the Wesley Girls Senior High School to formally respond to allegations that it prevents Muslim students from practising their religion in the school.

Kpandai MP remains MP until December 1 – Speaker Bagbin

Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, the Speaker of Parliament, has declared that Matthew Nyindam, the Kpandai Member of Parliament, remains an active MP despite the Tamale High Court’s annulment.

According to Speaker Bagbin, though the high court invalidates the earlier declaration of Matthew Nyindam as MP, it cannot take immediate action.

He explained that the law provides for a mandatory seven-day stay of execution in all appealable High Court rulings.

Speaker Bagbin noted that since the ruling was delivered on November 24, 2025, the stay remains in force until December 1, 2025.

Speaking in Parliament on Thursday, November 26, Alban Bagbin explained, “The effect of the order, to my understanding, is that the EC is to conduct a rerun election within 30 days, implying that the original declaration of Hon. Matthew Nyindam as winner is invalid and the member is no longer an MP”.

“During this period, the High Court ruling cannot form the basis for the Speaker to instruct the Clerk to notify the Electoral Commission that the Kpandai seat is vacant,” he said.

“I, however, bring to the attention of the House the provisions of the Court of Appeal Rules, 1997 (CI 19) as amended by CI 132, rule 27(3). It provides that there shall be a stay of execution of the judgment or decision appealed against for a period of seven days immediately following the giving of notice of the judgment or decision.”

“Honourable Members, this is not a declaratory order; it is an executive order delivered by the High Court,” Speaker Bagbin added.

Speaker Bagbin’s declaration follows, the Majority in Parliament demanding that Alban Bagbin declare the Kpandai seat vacant following the Tamale High Court’s annulment of the 2024 parliamentary election results of the constituency.

According to the Majority Chief Whip, Rockson Nelson Dafeamekpor, precedent was set and laid by how Honourable Gyakye Quayson was treated following a court ordering a rerun in his constituency.

Rockson Nelson Dafeamekpor highlighted that Kpandai MP Matthew Nyindam must also step aside from parliamentary duties until the rerun of the election is concluded.

Speaking on the floor of Parliament, the Majority Chief Whip, Rockson Nelson Dafeamekpor, stated, “Mr Speaker, I’m not raising these matters whimsically because precedent will guide us. Mr Speaker, when the Honourable Gyakye Quayson was ordered by the court that he should go through re-run, Members of this side at the time, mainly led by the now Minority Leader, spoke vociferously against the fact that the Honourable Gyakye Quayson cannot be entertained in this house.

“Eventually, he had to leave. This is a path that we have travelled. Precedent has been set and laid. Nobody can tell us in this house today that the Honourable Nyindam must have a voice today. It won’t happen,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Tamale High Court, on November 24, 2025, ordered the rerun of the Kpandai parliamentary election within 30 days.

According to the High Court, the Electoral Commission has within 30 days from today to conduct the rerun.

His Lordship Emmanuel Brew Plange made this declaration following the legal challenge of the 2024 parliamentary election by the former Member of Parliament (MP) and the NDC, Daniel Nsala Wakpal.

“US didn’t want Gaddafi to resign; they wanted to kill him” – Former US congressman

“US didn’t want Gaddafi to resign; they wanted to kill him” – Former US congressman

Curt Weldon, a former US congressman who led three delegations to Libya, has revealed that the United States of America did not want the Libyan dictator Muammar al-Gaddafi to resign but wanted to kill him.

In 2011 video that has resurfaced the U.S. Congressman Curt Weldon recounting how he hand-delivered Muammar Gaddafi’s resignation offer to U.S. officials.

He claimed the U.S. rejected it to pursue regime change for control over Libya’s oil and sovereign wealth fund.

However, the Obama administration dismissed his claims, leading to NATO-backed intervention that ended in Gaddafi’s death later that year.

Speaking in the resurfaced video, the former US congressman stated, “I hand-carried a letter back from Gaddafi offering to resign. The US didn’t want him to resign; they wanted to kill him.

I met Gaddafi three times. I took Biden on my second trip to Libya, by the way, he went with me when I spoke to the country, and every meeting I had with Gaddafi, he wanted two things: he wanted to unite the African continent into a group of nations economically, like the European standard economy.

He wanted the gold standard, and the US and Europe didn’t want that. The other thing is that they wanted control of his oil and wanted control of his sovereign wealth, so Gaddafi had to go”.

Britannica narrating the event that led to the Libyan revolt of 2011 wrote, “In February 2011, after anti-government demonstrations forced Presidents Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali and Hosni Mubarak from power in the neighbouring countries of Tunisia and Egypt, anti-Gaddafi demonstrations broke out in the Libyan city of Benghazi”

“As the protests spread throughout the country, the Qaddafi regime attempted to violently suppress them, directing police and mercenary forces to fire live ammunition at protesters and ordering attacks by artillery, fighter jets, and helicopter gunships against demonstration sites.

Foreign government officials and international human rights groups condemned the regime’s assault on the protesters. Qaddafi’s violent tactics also alienated senior figures in the Libyan government”.

“In August 2011, Gaddafi’s hold on power appeared to break when rebel forces entered Tripoli and took control of most areas of the city. Rebel fighters achieved a major symbolic victory on August 23 when they captured the Bāb al-ʿAzīziyyah compound, Gaddafi’s headquarters in Tripoli.

Jubilant crowds ransacked the compound, destroying symbols of the Gaddafi regime. Gaddafi’s whereabouts remained uncertain, although he released several audio messages urging the Libyan people to resist the rebels.

As rebel forces solidified their hold on Tripoli, they intensified their efforts to track down Gaddafi, offering a $1.7 million reward for killing or capturing him. Gaddafi was killed in Sirte on October 20 as rebel forces took control of the city, one of the last remaining loyalist strongholds”.

Watch man of God pray for Wontumi ahead of court proceedings

A viral video has surfaced of Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, the Ashanti Regional Chairman, receiving prayers ahead of his court proceedings on Thursday, November 27, 2025.

Chairman Wontumi, arriving at the courthouse in his car, was met by a man of God who was captured praying for him while he was seated in his car before stepping out to enter the courtroom.

Wontumi was dressed in his usual casual outfit of a white Lacoste shirt, blue jeans, and white sneakers.

He was later captured, greeting a lawyer believed to be part of his legal team.

The viral video has since ignited debate on social media, quizzing why prayers should be offered for someone accused of destroying Ghana’s natural resources and environment with his galamsey activities.

Some netizens wrote, Faith is not a performance for the courts or the cameras. Prayer is meant to humble, not to decorate power. When justice calls, accountability should lead, not theatrics. If your conscience is clear, you don’t need a spiritual spectacle at the gates of the law. The courtroom is for truth, not public relations”.

One more Ghanaian wrote, “Reasons why people are getting tired and angry with churches. Making people leave Christ in Ghana. As a pastor, you need to distinguish yourself from politicians”.

A netizen added, “Praying for someone who is under investigation for spoiling your water bodies? Man of God deserves more prayers!!”

“Somebody steals money, destroys your vegetation, pollutes your water, shows it in your face, the stolen money, but yeah, see some pastor trying to pray just because he will get an envelope of 5k before he leaves”, one more X user wrote.

A netizen added, “Inside life, when the rich do evil deeds and face trials in the court of law because of their wealth, they still get men of God to embrace and pray for them, INTERESTING. Poverty is a disease. Just hustle and get rich”.

Meanwhile, in court, the Wontumi’s legal team has accused the prosecution team in his mining case of withholding key documents.

According to Wontumi’s legal team, the key materials needed to prepare their case were absent from the disclosures filed by the State prosecutors.

Appiah-Kubi told the court their intention to apply for a court order compelling the prosecution to release further documents.

Wontumi and Akonta Mining are standing trial over allegations that they permitted mining operations in Ghana’s forest in their Samreboi concession without the requisite approvals.

The case was adjourned to December 8, 2025, at 10:00 a.m., with the defence’s application for additional disclosures expected to be heard.

In the 36-second video shared the mother, who was willing to go get her daughter in the blazing fire, was asked where she was heading, and she stated, “My child is inside”.

According to reports, the woman left their home at the market to get food and was told the market was on fire, adding that her home is in Kasoa, but she stays in the market as she is learning a trade.

The 8-year-old girl died in a devastating fire at the Dansoman Market.

According to reports, the 8-year-old girl has died after being trapped in a devastating fire that swept through Market.

Video – Miss UG winner exposes Guru over gifting her a ‘broken car’ as grand prize

Winner of Miss University of Ghana (UG) under Guru’s administration, Jazmine Saaka, has exposed the organisers of the pageant for gifting her a broken car package as a brand new car as her grand prize.

In a viral video shared on social media, the 2025 Miss University of Ghana has shared the condition of the ‘brand-new car’ that was given to her by Guru, the 67th SRC President.

According to her, the vehicle is completely immobile, so she had no choice but to abandon it on campus.

Speaking in a viral video shared by Voice of Legon, the Miss University of Ghana 2025 detailed, “Right now it is parked behind these cars because when you move it, it does not start”.

Jazmine Saaka, the pageant queen, further showcase the interior of the vehicle as even worse condition, with loose and detachable panels, a broken glove compartment, and missing grab handles, which is unideal for a brand-new vehicle.

She further revealed that electronic features, like the central control and locking system, were not functional, with one window permanently shut.

Jazmine Saaka further exposed Guru’s administration that her promised trip to Dubai has not been fulfilled.

Speaking in an interview on Hitz FM on November 26, 2025, Jazmine disclosed, “Just yesterday, I was at work, and I received an email from EgyptAir thanking me for using their service from Cairo to Dubai.

“They were supposed to do EgyptAir, then they would transit you through Cairo, so they sent me that email thanking me for using their service, and I was like Wow, this is interesting,” she said.

The 2025 Miss University of Ghana added, “They’ve not sent me details, yet this is happening. I noticed they sent me the Women’s Commissioner’s letter, too, which she also used the service. That’s when I found out that with the Miss UG money, they had also booked a trip and ticket for the women’s commissioner”.

She continued, “They claimed they didn’t even have money to make sashes for the 4th and 5th Runner Up, but somehow, they were able to book a trip for the Women’s Commissioner who had blocked me and refused to account for the trip, the money and the car.”

“This will be like my 20th attempt to reach them through calls, texts, emails, and I even begged them for assistance an email, but he never sent it to me. We wrote countless letters, we’ve asked this person to ask that person, but still no answer,” she shared.

She further disclosed that bloggers were misinformed that she had voluntarily refused to go on the trip, “There was a time when they would speak to bloggers and make it seem like I decided not to go on the trip, even though they had blocked me. It was very interesting”.

“My parents didn’t stop me from going on the trip. They haven’t even told us where I will be staying, and when I’m going, so how will they know what to do? They sent me a ticket, and my name was spelt wrongly, and on that ticket, we were still asking where we would stay, the date and other details. For safety, we need to have this discussion to know these things so nobody interferes in anything,” she added.

‘Melting moment’ as Napo ‘plays’ with school pupil

A video has emerged of Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, the NPP’s running mate in the 2024 elections, sharing a moment with some school kids playing with them.

In the viral video, Napo was captured in a heartwarming moment with children at the Kumasi Children’s Home.

Reports suggest, the former lawmaker was there during a visit to donate essential items to the Kumasi Children’s Home.

Napo was surrounded by some little children of the Kumasi Children’s Home as he was seated.

The information gathered adds that Dr Prempeh has been doing philanthropic activities for over 2 decades now.

Within the period, he’s supported more than 20 homes.

Yesterday, November 27, 2025, Napo donated food items to support 3 homes in Kumasi, namely the Kumasi rehabilitation centre ⁠, Cheshire Home and the ⁠Kumasi children’s home.

It has also come to light that Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh supports the three homes three times within the year, with the donation yesterday a Christmas present and also the third time Napo is donating to the homes for the year 2025.

Meanwhile, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, in recent times, has touched on what he has been doing for the past 10 months out of government.

According to Napo, the last 10 months he has been enjoying life, labelling his last 10 months as his best time in the last 16 years.

Speaking on JoyNews’ PM Express on November 18, 2025, Napo stated, “In the last 10 months, I’ve been enjoying life. I have been reading and enjoying life, my brother. I’ve been going around the country on a listening tour. I’ve been reconnecting to my roots and establishing my foot firmly on the ground”.

“I’ve been mostly listening, reflecting, doing a soul search on what’s the purpose going forward”.

He boldly declared, “So, it’s been the best time in the last probably 16 years,” he indicated.

Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, in the same interview, admitted that the NPP’s defeat was partly due to a loss of trust between the government and the people.

According to Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, after ten months of political reflection, he has realised that the Akufo-Addo government simply did not listen enough.

He asserted that the government had broken the trust between citizens, which led to the NPP’s humiliating defeat.

Napo explained that the government had to navigate severe global economic and health crises, which affected many countries and, consequently, the financial stability and savings of the citizens.

“My trips were approved” – Kow Essuman slams JoyNews over MIIF board blowing GH¢11m on unapproved trips

Counsel to former President Nana Akufo-Addo, Kow Essuman, has come out fighting, JoyNews reports, claiming the Minerals Income Investment Fund (MIIF) board in 2024 blew over GH¢11 million on foreign travels without government approval.

According to Kow Essuman, as a Board Member of MIIF, his trips were duly approved by the Chief of Staff, and he has documentary evidence to back his claims.

Kow Essuman further expressed his disappointment with JoyNews, basing their publication on claims based on what they describe as “intercepted documents”, claiming that the documents were clearly incomplete and misleading.

He further urged that Ghanaians should focus on celebrating and protecting the success achieved by MIIF, which posted a profit of GHS 1.9 billion in 2024.

In a post on a social media page on November 26, 2025, Kow Essuman wrote, “While preparing this application, I woke up to a Joy News report alleging unapproved foreign travels by Board Members of MIIF. Let me state categorically that every trip I undertook as a Board Member of MIIF was duly approved by the Chief of Staff, and I have documentary evidence to support this.

It is disappointing that a reputable media house would publish such claims based on what they describe as “intercepted documents”, documents which were clearly incomplete and misleading, given that:

1. MIIF itself has repeatedly stated publicly that it has not published the 2024 audited financial statements;

2. ⁠That is precisely why I filed my RTI requests;

3. ⁠The current MIIF CEO confirmed before Parliament and publicly justified the official travels;

4. ⁠Any documents relied upon by Joy News, without the full financial statements, cannot present a fair or professional picture”.

His post added, “Journalism must serve the public interest without distorting facts.

Nevertheless, let’s look at the bigger picture.

As a country, our energy should be directed toward celebrating and protecting the successes achieved with MIIF – an institution that posted an impressive profit of GHS 1.9 billion in 2024. A fund built from scratch is now a significant national asset.

Rather than tearing down what has been built, we should support the current management to continue strengthening the institution for the benefit of all Ghanaians”.

Kow Essuman further revealed that he has filed a formal Application for Review before the Right to Information (RTI) Commission under section 65 of the Right to Information Act, 2019 (Act 989) against the Minerals Income Investment Fund (MIIF).

According to him, the application was filed as the current MIIF’s refusal, both express and deemed, to determine or respond to multiple RTI requests and internal review applications he submitted since September 2025.

Kow Essuman’s remarks follow, a 2024 audit report exposing how the Minerals Income Investment Fund (MIIF) blew over GH¢11 million on foreign travels without government approval.

It will be recalled that in 2020, the Ministry of Finance issued a directive that no public servant shall travel on official business without clearance through the Chief of Staff.

The audit service reports revealed board and key management of MIIF spent more than GH¢11 million on foreign travel in 2024 without approval from the Chief of Staff, the sector minister, or the Chief Director.

The MIIF’s Head of Human Resources, responding to the findings, stated that all travels requiring approval from the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Director were duly cleared.

Edward Nana Yaw Koranteng, the former MIIF CEO, however, claimed the Chief of Staff at the time was notified of all the trips.

Acting MIIF CEO Justina Nelson, who appeared before the Public Accounts Committee, argued that “spending was necessary to give the Fund the visibility and capacity needed to operate its new office”.

Kow Essuman files RTI against MIIF following JoyNews GH¢11m “unapproved travel” report

Counsel to former President Nana Akufo-Addo, Kow Essuman, has announced he has filed a formal application for review before the Right to Information (RTI) Commission against the Minerals Income Investment Fund (MIIF).

According to him, the application was filed as the current MIIF’s refusal to respond to multiple RTI requests and internal review applications he submitted since September 2025.

It will be recalled that a 2024 audit report shared by JoyNews exposed how the Minerals Income Investment Fund (MIIF) blew over GH¢11 million on foreign travels without government approval.

In 2020, the Ministry of Finance issued a directive that no public servant shall travel on official business without clearance through the Chief of Staff.

The audit service reports revealed board and key management of MIIF spent more than GH¢11 million on foreign travel in 2024 without approval from the Chief of Staff, the sector minister, or the Chief Director.

The MIIF’s Head of Human Resources, responding to the findings, stated that all travels requiring approval from the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Director were duly cleared.

Edward Nana Yaw Koranteng, the former MIIF CEO, however, claimed the Chief of Staff at the time was notified of all the trips.

Acting MIIF CEO Justina Nelson, who appeared before the Public Accounts Committee, argued that “spending was necessary to give the Fund the visibility and capacity needed to operate its new office”.

Kow Essuman, who was appointed a board member of MIIF under the Akufo-Addo government, in a social media post stated, “This morning, I filed a formal Application for Review before the Right to Information (RTI) Commission under section 65 of the Right to Information Act, 2019 (Act 989) against the Minerals Income Investment Fund (MIIF).

This application arises from MIIF’s refusal, both express and deemed, to determine or respond to multiple RTI requests and internal review applications I have submitted since September 2025. These requests sought straightforward information about the 2024 audited financial statements of MIIF. As a former Board Member, this information is not only of significant public interest but directly relevant to my tenure, under which the matters contained in 2024 statements transpired”.

He added, “My application sets out several constitutional breaches and violations of both the RTI Act and the MIIF Act, particularly regarding transparency, accountability, and statutory reporting obligations. I have duly served MIIF with a copy of my application. See copies attached.

During this period, I also submitted similar requests to the Auditor-General of the Ghana Audit Service and the Ministry of Finance.

The Audit Service has been exemplary – professional, transparent, prompt, and helpful. The Information Officer confirmed that the 2024 audited financial statements were completed, signed on 27 June 2025, and submitted to MIIF and the Ministry of Finance. They further explained that due to timing differences – ensuring a complete and accurate audit – the 2024 report could not be included in the 2025 Auditor-General’s report to Parliament and will instead be included in the 2026 report.

Unfortunately, the Ministry of Finance has not responded to any of my RTI requests, in clear breach of Act 989”.

Kow Essuman further revealed, as a Board Member of MIIF, his trips were duly approved by the Chief of Staff, and he has documentary evidence to back his claims.

He added, “While preparing this application, I woke up to a Joy News report alleging unapproved foreign travels by Board Members of MIIF. Let me state categorically that every trip I undertook as a Board Member of MIIF was duly approved by the Chief of Staff, and I have documentary evidence to support this.

It is disappointing that a reputable media house would publish such claims based on what they describe as “intercepted documents”, documents which were clearly incomplete and misleading, given that:

1. MIIF itself has repeatedly stated publicly that it has not published the 2024 audited financial statements;

2. ⁠That is precisely why I filed my RTI requests;

3. ⁠The current MIIF CEO confirmed before Parliament and publicly justified the official travels;

4. ⁠Any documents relied upon by Joy News, without the full financial statements, cannot present a fair or professional picture”.

“Mahama’s extension of IGP’s term does not augur well” – Former Deputy Minister

Kofi Amankwah-Manu, the former Deputy Defence Minister, has said President John Mahama’s decision to extend the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Christian Tetteh Yohuno’s tenure does not augur well.

According to him, Mahama’s move could unsettle senior officers who were waiting in line for the IGP role.

He explained that Police officers work with the hope that their dedication could lead to promotion to the highest office in the Service.

Speaking in an interview on Joy News on November 25, 2025, Kofi Amankwah-Manu stated, “This really does not augur well for the full commitment of people. You need people to work for something, and by way of doing that, when they work, knowing very well that tomorrow, they can be recognised and be made IGP. But then, you know, you just cut it off because you have one person who probably will do your bidding. Well, I think it’s, for me, if you ask me, it’s a sorry state”.

“It will even kill that spirit of wanting to work hard to see the police grow. Because after all, there will be nothing to look up to, nothing to fight for. So if I am there, and I have about three years, and I know that, look, if I do so well, commit myself to doing that, to move the police forward, I will be recognised and probably be made an IGP, if I happen to be the second in line. And then you have this IGP having his tenure extended. What it means is that I don’t have anywhere going. I am completely locked up. So what do I have to do? It’s going to be business as usual,” he added.

His comments come following Mahama’s approval of a two-year contract extension for the IGP, allowing him to stay in office beyond his statutory retirement date in December 2025.

The decision was signed by Callistus Mahama, Secretary to the President, following a recommendation from the Police Council.

The re-engagement takes effect from 28 December 2025, during which Yohuno will remain in office.

According to the presidency, the extension is meant to ensure continuity, stability and the consolidation of ongoing reforms within the Service.

The approval allows IGP Yohuno, who was appointed earlier this year, to continue leading the Ghana Police Service for the next two years.

IGP Yohuno has been lauded for improving police visibility, improving crime response strategies, and advancing community policing.

Meanwhile, reports had earlier tipped that Commissioner of Police (COP) Lydia Yaako Donkor, Director-General of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), has been tipped to replace the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Christian Tetteh Yohuno.

Reports suggest, COP Lydia Donkor is tipped to replace IGP Yohuno, who is near his retirement age in December 2025.

“Charlotte Osei brought her removal on herself; she wanted her deputies out” – NPP MP details

Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Manhyia South, has dropped a shocking revelation concerning the removal of former chairperson of the Electoral Commission of Ghana, Charlotte Osei.

The Manhyia South revealed that Charlotte Osei brought her removal on herself when he went to former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to get her deputies out.

According to Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, Akufo-Addo did not touch Article 146 of the 1992 Constitution for the removal of Charlotte Osei, with her deputies turning on her with all that they knew.

Speaking in an interview on Adom FM, Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah explained, “Nobody touched Article 146; there is a misconception out there. Our mother Charlotte Osei brought her removal on herself. She wanted her deputies removed.

“She had a very good relationship with Nana Addo. And she thought that she could leverage that relationship to get her deputies out”.

The Manhyia South lawmaker added, “But the deputies turned on her with all that they know, including the procurement officer at the EC.”

It will be recalled Charlotte Osei was removed from her position together with two other deputies for varied reasons including “stated misbehaviour.”

The lawmaker made these claims while commenting on a petition filed for the removal of the current EC boss, Jean Mensa and her deputies.

The EC staff member in his petition cited alleged misconduct that he claims threatens the credibility of Ghana’s electoral system.

According to Joseph Blankson Adumadzie, his petition was submitted in line with Article 146 of the 1992 Constitution.

He, however, refuses to provide details in the petition, adding that it is anchored on 12 counts of stated misbehaviour.

The allegations include “cronyism, abuse of office, and gross incompetence”.

The petitioner added that the conduct of the three senior officials has eroded public confidence in the EC and poses a risk to the integrity and independence of Ghana’s electoral process.

He also argued that his actions are driven solely by the need to safeguard the Constitution and strengthen accountable governance.

Meanwhile, Government Spokesperson Felix Kwakye Ofosu has revealed that the presidency has not yet received the EC staff petition for the removal of Jean Mensa and her two deputies.

Felix Kwakye Ofosu highlighted that petitions are normally routed through the Secretary to the President, adding that the Secretary has not sighted it yet.

Speaking on Joy News’ PM Express on Tuesday, Felix Kwakye Ofosu stated, “Normally, it will go to the Secretary to the President if it is addressed to the President. I’ve engaged him.

He has not sighted it yet, but I’m sure that if he does, there’s a process, a long-standing process, that this goes through, and any information on that will be conveyed to your public before this one,” he stated.

He further added that he is not aware of any other petition for the removal of the Electoral Commission Chairperson, Jean Mensa and her two deputies.

“I’m not aware of any other petition. At the very least, I don’t have a briefing that there’s any other such petition. But if such a petition exists, and it comes to the attention of the secretary’s office, the public will know, in the same way that the Chief Justice became a matter of public commentary because we put it out first, of course respecting the constitutional processes, the same thing will be done if indeed such a petition has come.”

Watch member of Philadelphia Movement adorns herself with Adom Kyei spiritual products

A viral video has emerged of a member of the Philadelphia Movement(Believer’s Worship Centre) adorning herself with Prophet Stephen Adom Kyei’s spiritual products.

In the viral video shared by SIKAOFFICIAL on X, the elderly woman was captured proudly adorning herself with the packaging of various spiritual products she has purchased from the church’s leader over the years.

The video has since caused a stir on social media with netizens commenting, saying, “I had an emergency and was admitted at Ridge Hospital, and one of her church member told me not to depend on the hospital but rather buy spiritual products from Philadelphia Church… the following week I pass by her shop and the only thing I saw was her Obituary Banner”.

Another netizen added, “It is this type of mommy that no matter how sick you are, whether it be malaria, ulcer, headache, skin rashes, gonorrhea, hiv and so on and so forth, she never goes to take you to the hospital, even when you’re on death bed”

One X user also shared her experience, “I remember a woman was in a troski that crashed with another car, and she was bleeding from the nose. Instead of her to go to the hospital, she was eating the powder some, and she replied to me nkɔ hoapital biaa me ho bɛ tɔ me”

“So, as she has purchased all these, what has really been the general impact or improvement in her life and that of her family?

How can you really convince an atheist with this kind of Christian practice?”, one more netizen added.

A netizen added, “There is nothing anyone can tell this woman to change her mind. She is locked in hard no matter what”.

In related news, Godsbrain Smart Nkansah, popularly known as Captain Smart, has quizzed Prophet Stephen Adom Kyei Duah, the founder of Believers Worship Centre, on why he will be selling Yesu Mogya in church.

Captain Smart noted that Adom Kyei Duah is exploiting his congregation for profit by selling ‘Yesu Mogya’ in church.

He highlighted that the man of God is doing business in his church and must be taxed by the government.

Captain Smart further recounted how a woman who was suffering from high blood pressure abandoned her prescribed medication to rely on ‘Yesu Mogya’ for miraculous healing.

According to Captain Smart, if he were president, such acts would not be tolerated.

He argued that religious leaders who profit from their congregations under the guise of spirituality should be held accountable.

Speaking on his show Onua Maakye, Captain Smart stated, “Physically, Adom Kyei-Duah is older than me, but spiritually, he knows I’m older. How can you be selling Yesu Mogya in church? There’s a woman I knew who was a BP patient. Instead of her taking her medicine, she was taking Yesu Mogya.

“If I were president of Ghana, this nonsense wouldn’t be allowed. Nobody would be able to sell oil in church. If a pastor sold ‘Yesu Mogya’ during services, I would treat it like a business and make them pay tax,” Captain Smart stated.

“Kangaroo judicial system” – Afenyo-Markin blasts judiciary

Alexander Kwamina Afenyo-Markin, the Minority Leader in Parliament, has labelled Ghana’s judiciary a kangaroo judicial system following the Tamale High Court’s ordering a rerun of the Kpandai parliamentary election.

The minority leader launched a scathing attack on a Tamale High Court Judge, Justice Emmanuel Brew Plange, over his decision for a rerun in the Kpandai.

The minority leader has alleged that Justice Emmanuel Brew Plange concluded with the NDC candidate and his supporters, as they were aware of the judgment before the day.

Afenyo-Markin quizzed the kind of kangaroo judicial system Ghana now has as the judge walked out, claiming that his judgment would be ready on Friday; however, in less than 24 hours, a court order was being sent to Parliament and Honourable Nyindam.

According to Afenyo-Markin, the minority is not will not mince words as they are not afraid and are ready to be in Nsawam over contempt of court accusations.

Speaking to journalists in Parliament on Wednesday, November 26, 2025, Afenyo-Markin cried out, “He’s fixed a date for judgment, no matter what; he’s supposed to deliver a judgment, yet he decided to stay away from determining the matter because a party decided belatedly to file a notice of withdrawal of the case”.

“The NDC candidate and his supporters were aware of the judgment before the day, to the extent that on the day of the set judgment, the regional minister led a team of NDC party faithfuls into the courtroom, anticipating the expected results, the result that they were going to have judgment in their favour. The judge, who spent minutes, walked out of the courtroom claiming that his judgment would be ready on Friday. Meanwhile, in less than 24 hours, a court order was being sent to Parliament and Honorable Nyindam,” Afenyo-Markin claimed.

He further quizzed,“What kind of kangaroo judicial system do we have now in Ghana?”

“The judiciary must know that their actions and inactions to serve the interests of whoever their paymaster is have the tendency of destroying our peaceful republic,” he said.

“We will not mince words. They can conspire to call us one by one for a so-called contempt of court. We are criticising their shameful conduct. We are not afraid. We are ready to be in Nsawam for their so-called contempt. The world will see their disgraceful conduct. We will not sit aloof and allow them to undermine the very rule of law that they are supposed to protect. How can a judge who calls himself a judge sit in court and misconduct himself in such a manner?” he added.

The minority leader also alleged that Justice Emmanuel Brew Plange handling of the Kpandai election petition amounted to judicial irresponsibility.

He added, “The judgment can only be described as breathtaking in its reach and alarming in its implications. His Lordship Justice Emmanuel Bart Plange Brew has ordered nothing less than a wholesale rerun of the entire Kpandai parliamentary election. This is not routine judicial intervention. This is something far more troubling.

“For a judge to casually void an entire constituency’s election without first ensuring that a complete, reasoned judgment was prepared and published is not merely irregular. It is judicial irresponsibility of the highest order,” he said.

His remarks follow the Tamale High Court’s, on November 24, 2025, ordering the rerun of the Kpandai parliamentary election within 30 days.

According to the High Court, the Electoral Commission has within 30 days from today to conduct the rerun.

“GoldBod not being candid about its financial performance” – Bright Simons

Bright Simons the IMANI Africa’s Honorary Vice President, has said Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) is not being candid about its financial performance.

According to Bright Simons, GoldBod is refusing to publish its actual trading margins.

The IMANI Africa’s Honorary Vice President, in a post on X, quizzed the Goldbod with some key issues concerning its operations.

Bright Simons, in his post, wrote, “Ghana’s GoldBod, the State-owned monopoly on gold trading in the small-scale and artisanal mining sector, is NOT being candid about its financial performance. It is refusing to publish its actual trading margins.

Look closely at the numbers (attached) in its quarterly report. Nothing about the value of gold is actually traded on behalf of the Bank of Ghana (BoG) and the net margin. It is as though it is merely a service provider to BoG and the gold aggregators. (That is not how its law describes it.) It reports <$60m in fees, and that’s it. It also refuses to publish its advances from BoG and merely posts its bank’s balance to reflect fees accumulated since inception”.

His post added, “How much gold did it buy with how much money from & on behalf of BoG and how much was that gold sold for over the period and to whom? Which of the aggregators actually sold gold to it and from which producers?

That’s the most important performance data. Not how much it charged gold aggregators and producers to assay their gold!

The almighty ruler of gold affairs in Ghana, the CEO of GoldBod, aka the GoldBossu, must be pursued for answers. Namaste”.

Meanwhile, Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), in a statement to refute media reports by Accra-based Asaase Radio, revealed it will publish its quarterly financial statements soon on its official website as a statutory corporation.

Asaase Radio had earlier claimed the GoldBod recorded losses exceeding GH¢3 billion in its first year of operations.

However, GoldBod, in a statement issued on Monday, November 17, 2025, rebutted the allegations, describing them as false and contrived.

The Goldbod statement read, “The attention of the Ghana Gold Board (“GoldBod”) has been drawn to a publication by “Asaaseradio” alleging that the GoldBod has recorded losses in excess of GHC3 billion in its first year of operations.

The GoldBod wishes to put on record that the publication under reference is entirely false and deliberately contrived to undermine the successes and significant contributions of the GoldBod to the revitalisation of Ghana’s economy”.

The statement added, “Contrary to the mischievous claims contained in the said publication, the GoldBod has been making significant surpluses/profits since its establishment. Quarterly financial statements of the GoldBod, which will soon be published on the official website of the statutory corporation, will bear this fact out”.

The Goldbod further urged Asaaseradio to retract and render an unqualified apology to the general public for such misleading publication.

“The Ghana Gold Board urges the general public to treat this false publication by ‘Asaaseradio’ with utmost contempt and calls on the management of the station to retract and render an unqualified apology to the general public for such misleading and unethical publication”, the statement added.

“Ken Agyapong helped me with economics” – Atta Akyea throwback video emerges following motherf**ker remarks

A throwback video has surfaced of Samuel Atta Akyea, the former Minister for Works and Housing and senior lawyer, after he cautioned the New Patriotic Party (NPP) delegates not to gamble and elect a leader who will go to the UN and insult World leaders.

According to Atta Akyea, Kennedy Agyapong was very good in economics and helped him back in the day when they were at Adisadel College.

Speaking on Good Evening Ghana, Atta Akyea stated, “One of the things people did not know, Ken is indeed a colleague of mine in Adisadel College, Ken was very good in economics and I was very strong in literature so like two village biys who have come to a very strong school we use to compare notes whiles I will help him with literature, he also helped me with economics. We have a long-standing bond”.

However, in recent times, Atta Akyea in the camp of Dr Mahamudu Bawumia had led to him warning NPP delegates not to vote for Kennedy Agyapong, who will go and embarrass the country on the International stage during the United Nations Assembly.

He boldly told the NPP delegate not to vote for someone who would insult world leaders when he travels.

Speaking at a gathering of party faithful at Mpraeso in the Eastern region, Atta Akyea stated, “Someone just reminded me, if you gamble and vote for this man (Kennedy Agyapong) and he goes to the United Nations, you will hear motherfucker, Ghanaians will hear motherfucker, Ghanaians will hear a President saying motherfucker.

Have you heard Dr Bawumia ever say motherfucker before? I beg of you, don’t go and gamble”.

However, Kwasi Kwarteng, the spokesperson of the campaign team of Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, has bitten back at Samuel Atta Akyea, the former Minister for Works and Housing and senior lawyer, following his recent comments.

Kwasi Kwarteng, the spokesperson of the campaign team of Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, in a sharp rebuttal, asserted that the UN and the international community prefer a bold, honest leader to an unrepentant liar with zero credibility.

Kwasi Kwarteng, replying to Atta Akyea, fired stray bullets at Dr Bawumia, labelling him as an unrepentant liar who has zero credibility in economic management and leadership.

In a post on X, he wrote, “Indeed, the UN and the international community will prefer a bold, honest leader who occasionally uses the word ‘motherf**ker’ to an unrepentant liar who has zero credibility, in both economic management and leadership”.

Furthermore, Kennedy Agyapong has said he has endured all the insults and attacks in silence because of party unity.

The former Assin Central MP warned that the day he chose to speak, Ghanaians would know that there are real men in the NPP.

Ken Aggyapong further mocked former vice president Dr Mahamudu Bawumia and the 2024 flagbearer of the NPP for conceding defeat too early in the December polls.

According to Kennedy Agyapong, Dr Bawumia rushed to concede defeat in the 2024 elections, leaving members of parliament high and dry to lose their seats.

Speaking to NPP delegates ahead of the January 31 presidential election, Kennedy Agyapong stated, “A lion may remain calm for the sake of unity, but it fears no one. I have endured the insults and attacks in silence, but the day I choose to speak, you will know there are real men in this party.

You cannot rush to concede defeat before the counting is done and cause our MPs to lose seats, then expect leadership again. Not today, not tomorrow”.

Meanwhile, the NPP goes to the polls on January 31 to elect a flagbearer for the 2028 election, with Dr Mahamudu Bawumia and Kennedy Agyapong being the main contenders.

“The tone of the current debate is worrying” – Shamima Muslim on Wesley Girls’ religious rights debate

Shamima Muslim, the Deputy Presidential Spokesperson, has bemoaned the tone in which Ghanaians are debating the ongoing national debate over religious rights in mission schools.

The Deputy Presidential Spokesperson called for calm and dialogue, noting that the confrontational tones threaten to derail constructive engagement.

In a Facebook post on Wednesday, November 26, Shamima Muslim shared her own experience as a Muslim student at Holy Child School.

Shamima Muslim, in her post, wrote, “We can be authentic and still be progressive. When I first got to Holy Child School in 1995, I was told the school schedule wouldn’t allow me to pray. I prayed anyway. And I attended all compulsory Mass and participated in many school activities.”

“Years later, my cousin became the first ever Muslim Head Girl—Raahat Moomen. Today, Holy Child has a Muslim Teacher Patron for the Muslim girls. No, there are no five times daily congregational prayers, but they pray. And they fast during Ramadan.”

She added, “The tone of the current debate is worrying. We must all recognise that no one wins if we don’t allow cool heads to prevail in this matter and choose confrontation instead of dialogue”.

“To Holy Child School and many others who, on their own, have recognised the needs of all members of their community—keep it up. Educating all citizens secures all of us ultimately,” she concluded.

It will be recalled that, in December 2024, Shafic Osman, a Ghanaian lawyer and PhD candidate at the London School of Economics, sued Wesley Girls’ Senior High School and the Government at the Supreme Court.

The case filed cited Wesley Girls’ restricting Muslim students from wearing the hijab, fasting during Ramadan, and practising other aspects of their faith.

Shafic Osman argued that a public school cannot lawfully restrict the religious rights of Muslim students nor compel them to practise a faith they do not subscribe to.

He grounded his case in the Constitution and international human rights principles, arguing that Wesley Girls’ rules violate Ghana’s constitutional protections for religious freedom.

Meanwhile, Haruna Iddrisu, the Education Minister, speaking on the floor of Parliament on Tuesday, November 25, 2025, emphasised that the rights of every Ghanaian child must be respected and protected.

He stated, “There is some ongoing debate on restrictions on Muslim students in Wesley Girls, which conflicts with international human rights standards and even standards expected of us in Ghana’s Constitution and under Article 33(5) and 26(1) of the Constitution.

“We have a duty to uphold the rights of every Ghanaian child and to uphold the rights of every Ghanaian citizen. No right is divisible. We will not countenance any action by any person to deny any Ghanaian girl the opportunity to practice any religion,” he said.

Also, the President of the Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference, Most Rev. Matthew Kwasi Gyamfi, has questioned the Minister of Education, Haruna Iddrisu what he seeks by resurrecting issues that have already been settled.

Most Rev. Matthew Kwasi Gyamfi revealed that a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between all major religious groups, including Muslims, Catholics, Protestants, SDAs, and even the Police Service, on how religious tolerance should be handled in schools.

According to the Most Rev. Matthew Kwasi Gyamfi, Catholics will not abandon their principles so that every religion is practised, adding that when a Catholic child goes to a Muslim or Presbyterian school, they must also respect that school’s rules.
