Ken Agyapong mocks Bawumia for conceding too early in 2024 elections

Kennedy Agyapong, a New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer aspirant, has once again 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”.

However, things are still not looking good for Kennedy Agyapong in the NPP race as the Global InfoAnalytics latest poll has revealed that former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia continues to dominate the New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential primaries.

The Global InfoAnalytics revealed that the poll was conducted between 17th and 21st November 2025 among 3,500 delegates across all 16 regions.

The poll, however, shows that Dr Bawumia and Kennedy Agyapong’s support has slightly declined since October.

Global InfoAnalytics’ likely voters’ model indicated that, “Dr Bawumia: 42.7%, Kennedy Agyapong: 17.7%, Dr Bryan Acheampong: 4.6%, Dr Yaw Adutwum: 0.3%, and Kwabena Adjei Agyapong: 0.3%”.

With 14.9% of delegates not disclosing their voting intentions, while 19.3% remain.

Also, committed voters, Dr Bawumia’s lead widens: “Dr Bawumia: 63.3%, Kennedy Agyapong: 28.6%, and Dr Acheampong: 6.9%”.

The poll revealed that Dr Bawumia leads in 13 regions, with Kennedy ahead only in the Volta region, with the Central region tied.

Also, Mussa Dankwah, the Executive Director, Global Info Analytics, has made a bold call that Kennedy Agyapong will win the Volta Region in NPP’s presidential primaries, Dr. Bawumia will win in the Eastern Region.

Meanwhile, Kennedy Agyapong’s campaign team has cried out over the errors in the NPP’s Provisional Delegates Album ahead of the presidential primaries in January 2026.

According to the Ken Agyapong team, 2,664 dead persons are still on the NPP’s  Delegates Album ahead of the January 31 primaries.

Charles Cromwell Bissue, in a statement signed and released on November 22, 2025, called for a swift rectification of errors over the discrepancies in the album.

Ken’s team noted that after an audit of the constituency albums nationwide, they found several errors in the albums.

Parts of the statement read, “A nationwide audit of constituency albums was undertaken across all 276 constituencies, during which our campaign deployed two agents per constituency and duly submitted discrepancy forms for consideration.

“Regrettably, our scrutiny of the updated album reveals that names of deceased persons and other ineligible entries remain, indicating that certain constituency-level corrections were not incorporated into the final compilation,” it stated.

The statement added, “We have compiled a consolidated list of 2,664 deceased persons whose names still appear in the album. This list is attached for your review and necessary action”.

“We noted PEC’s assurance that a committee has been established to resolve these issues. While we appreciate this intervention, time is of the essence.

“All discrepancy forms currently lie in the bosom of PEC, and we respectfully request that the required corrections be carried out promptly to allow for the swift removal of all ineligible names and the re-issuance of a corrected Provisional Delegates Album,” the statement said.

“I am still the MP for Kpandai” – NPP’s Nyindam, barred from acting as MP speaks

Matthew Nyindam, the Member of Parliament barred by the Tamale High Court from holding himself as MP for Kpandai, has boldly stated he is still the lawmaker for Kpandai until the Appeals Court decide.

According to Matthew Nyindam, his legal team noted that something was wrong with the NDC in Kpandai, already speaking about a rerun.

Speaking in an interview, Matthew Nyindam stated, “We realised that something had already gone wrong because a week before today, the NDC in Kpandai were all over talking about a rerun in Kpandai. Even this morning, before the judgment on the social media handles, they had already posted that there’s going to be a rerun in Kpandai”.

He boldly added, “We vehemently disagree with what we have seen. We have already filed our stay of execution and filed the appeal at the courts too”.

He further alleged that the NDC parliamentary candidate in the 2024 election attacked the coalition centre, forcing the police and military to intervene.

Matthew Nyindam,“He mobilised his supporters, brought them in a pickup, and they came and attacked the coalition centre. So, the police and then the military, and that particular plan advised that the EC should move to the regional office so that the declaration can be done”.

“If you take a police station where the verification is done, maybe 200 people, and then at the parliamentary level, the votes cast were maybe 199. They printed it out as an inequality, which means that the person might have voted for president and did not vote parliamentary elections,” he remarked.

He added, “I just want to let my people know that I am still the MP for Kpandai until the appeal court decides otherwise. We are fighting the case after this logical conclusion. It’s not that we are afraid of a rerun, but if it is a genuine rerun, we don’t have a problem. But this kind of rerun, we don’t even know where it is coming from. Nobody should be afraid. Let’s all stay together and see what God will do”.

Meanwhile, Matthew Nyindam has filed an appeal seeking a stay of execution against the ruling of the High Court in Tamale.

The Tamale High Court, today, 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.

The NDC Parliamentary Candidate for Kpandai alleged irregularities in the voting and collation processes that undermined the credibility of the outcome.

Daniel Nsala Wakpal filed the suit challenging the election of Matthew Nyindam as MP for Kpandai.

According to him, the parliamentary election held in the Kpandai in the 2024 election was invalid.

He cited “irregularities and inconsistencies in FORM 8A (Regulation 32(7) and 39(2) Statement of Polls for the Office of Member of Parliament — Pink Sheet) for 41 polling stations out of the 152 polling stations in the constituency”, reports suggest.

The NDC Parliamentary Candidate for Kpandai stated, “The parliamentary election held in the Kpandai constituency on 7th December 2024 was not conducted in compliance with Regulations 39 of the Public Elections Regulations, 2020 (CI 127) and the principles laid down by Regulations 39, and that the said non-compliance affected the results of the elections.

“The declaration and publication of the parliamentary election results held in the Kpandai constituency on 7th December 2024 were not made in compliance with Regulations 43 of the Public Elections Regulations, 2020 (C.I 127) and the principles laid down by Regulations 43, and that the said non-compliance affected the entire results of the parliamentary elections in the Kpandai constituency.”

Wakpal, therefore, sought an order setting aside the declared results affecting the 41 polling stations. He further requested: “An order directed at the 2nd and 3rd respondents to conduct a re-run of the parliamentary elections in the affected 41 polling stations out of the 152 polling stations in the Kpandai constituency on a date determined by the court.”

His Lordship Emmanuel Brew Plange, in his judgment, upheld the petition and ordered the Electoral Commission to organise a new election to determine the rightful winner of the Kpandai constituency election.

The legal team of Mr Nyindam is now seeking the court’s verdict and temporarily halting the execution of the rerun pending the outcome of the appeal.

Meanwhile, the NPP’s Matthew Nyindam in the 2024 elections secured 27,947 votes representing 53.47%, whereas the NDC’s Daniel Nsala Wakpal got 24,213 votes representing 46.33% with a third contestant, Donkor Eric Nipani of the APC, polling a meagre 104 votes representing 0.20%.

The gap between the NDC and NPP, the vote difference was 3,734.

“When we get to Court, we will say what we have to say” – Col Damoah on OSP’s 78-count

Colonel Kwadwo Damoah, the former Commissioner General of the Customs Division of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), has broken his silence following the Office of the Special Prosecutor charging him and seven others with 78 counts.

According to the Member of Parliament for Jaman South, Col Damoah, when they get to court, they will say what needs to be said.

Col Damoah, who was at the court today expecting to be arraigned before the court in the Strategic Mobilisation Limited (SML) revenue assurance contract with the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), case was adjourned to a later date.

Col Damoah, the sixth accused person speaking to the media stated, “We have been summoned to come to Court and we have made ourselves available, so if they say the case has been adjourned to another day, we will just wait patiently until that day comes,” Col Damoah, who is the sixth accused person, spoke to EIB Network’s Legal Affairs Correspondent in Court.

“When we get to Court, and we are told of the charges, we will say what we have to say,” the Member of Parliament for Jaman South added.

Col Damoah has been charged with eight counts by the OSP in the SML-GRA scandal case.

The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) made the adjournment known in a statement on X on Monday, 24 November 2025, stating, “CR/0106/2026 Kenneth Nana Yaw Ofori-Atta & 7 Ors.

This case has been adjourned as the Court would not sit on the originally scheduled date of 24 November 2025.

A new date will be communicated to the Republic and the Accused Persons”.

The OSP had earlier announced that the eight suspects would be arraigned before the court today, Monday, November 24, 2025.

The eight suspects were supposed to be arraigned before the court in connection with the 78 charges filed against them in connection with the Strategic Mobilisation Limited (SML) revenue assurance contract with the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA).

In a post on X on Thursday, November 20, the OSP revealed it will seek necessary court orders for the service of the charge sheet on the fugitives who are outside Ghana.

The OSP in a statement on X stated, “Court case update.

The Republic v Kenneth Ofori-Atta & 7 Ors.

Accused persons will be arraigned before the court on Monday, 24 November 2025.

The Prosecution will seek the necessary court orders for service of the charge sheet on the fugitives who are outside of the jurisdiction”.

The OSP formally last week charged Kenneth Nana Yaw Ofori-Atta and 7 others with 78 counts of corruption and corruption-related offences

Meanwhile, Private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu has said the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) is gambling with charges levelled against former finance minister Ken Ofori-Atta and seven others in the SML case.

Lawyer Kpebu raised concerns over the charges filed by the OSP, describing the charges as questionable.

According to Lawyer Kpebu, he does not trust the Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng after he allowed Ofori-Atta to escape the country.

Speaking on Eyewitness News with Umaru Sanda Amadu on Tuesday, November 18, Kpebu stated, “Kissi Agyebeng allowed Ofori-Atta to escape, so I cannot trust him. If you look at some of the charges he has filed, he’s deliberately gambling with financial loss. Financial loss is not part of the OSP’s mandate.

“Now you’re going to use this case to gamble. If you get to the court and it says no, as for financial loss, it’s too huge. What are you going to do? Is it part of the ploy to gamble?”

He added, “I don’t trust the charges at all. I cannot trust Kissi Agyebeng; he once worked for Ofori-Atta. Ofori-Atta is his formal client. Kissi worked for Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko. Same circle. Ask if Kissi Agyebeng ever attended a meeting with Ofori-Atta, and that man is going to prosecute Ofori-Atta, aaahbaai, what a joke.”

“He’s not a Professor, yet earns GH¢6,000 every week” – Galamseyer shares

An Illegal miner (galamseyer) has shared a video of a young school dropout, who reportedly left school in class 6 and is now operating an excavator at an illegal mining site.

The galamseyer in the viral video compared the young man earning to that of the earnings to those of teachers.

According to the galamseyer, the boy is a school dropout but earns GH¢6,000 as an excavator operator at an illegal mining site.

The narrator in the video stated, “This is the kid who earns more money than teachers, he did not attend school, he dropped out of school in class six. He is just trying the machine; that is his master standing there, Mussa, you have taught the child a better work. He is not a professor, but every week he earns GH¢6,000”.

The video has since sparked a heated debate under the post, with some netizens saying, “we all know he’s never paid 6k a week, but well….. and even if he does, is that enough reason to render the rest of the citizens prone to several deadly consequences”.

Another netizen added, “This alone shatters the argument that the gov’t must first provide alternative livelihoods before tackling galamsey. What legitimate job is going to pay a class 6 dropout GH¢6,000 a week? Clearly, the issue isn’t a lack of alternatives; rather, it’s the unchecked greed of a few”.

One more X user added, “6k weekly, meaning 24k monthly, 288,000k yearly. Ebi like the gala man for enter for at least 5 years then come back”.

“Money over environmental safety,  wow. He didn’t even give education a chance,  and who said becoming a Teacher is the only way after school?”, one more Ghanaian added.

Additionally, a netzine added, “Don’t let anyone deceive you with this deception – the guy went there and learn technical skills, and he is being paid for the skill he has developed.

He has to try to get a certificate for it; if not, he will only remain in the illegal field”

Meanwhile, President John Dramani Mahama has announced that the Cabinet has approved the Public Tribunals Bill.

According to John Mahama, the approval of the Public Tribunals Bill is aimed at fast-tracking the prosecution of galamsey cases.

President Mahama explained that the Public Tribunals Bill will strengthen the country’s resolve to clamp down on galamsey activities.

He highlighted that the measure forms part of the government’s broader efforts to curb environmental destruction and protect Ghana’s forests and water bodies.

Speaking during a meeting with the Christian Council at Jubilee House on Tuesday, November 18, 2025, John Mahama stated, “What the Cabinet did was to pass the Public Tribunals Bill so that we will push issues related to illegal mining to the public tribunals. They will adjudicate faster and ensure that justice is seen to be done”.

“If this comes into effect, we will be able to process cases against illegal mining even quicker,” he added.

“False, misleading and defamatory” – UG refute Foh Amoaning’s claims of promoting LGBTQ+ activities

The University of Ghana has refuted claims made by Moses Foh Amoaning over claims that the School has amended its statutes to promote LGBTQ+ activities.

According to the University of Ghana, Moses Foh Amoaning’s claims are false, misleading, and defamatory.

UG management, in a statement, revealed that the University’s recent review of its Statutes (2024) was conducted strictly in accordance with the governance procedures.

The statement read, “ The University wishes to state emphatically and without ambiguity that the allegations made by Mr Foh-Amoaning are entirely false, misleading and defamatory.

Clarification on changes in the University’s Statutes

The University’s recent review of its Statutes (2024) was conducted strictly in accordance with the governance procedures prescribed by national laws and University regulations, and we wish to state as follows:

• The University of Ghana operates strictly within the legal and regulatory framework of the Republic of Ghana

The revised Statutes of the University do not depart from national law; nos 1o the statutes introduce any provision that endorses, promotes, or “admits” LGBT+ activities as alleged.

• The changes in the Statutes merely involved replacing gender specific pronouns such as “he”, “him”, “she” or “her” with gender- neutral terms such as “they” and “their”, and additional linguistic adjustments made to represent both male and female in order to eliminate the need to continuously state he or she/him or her etc.it the Statutes.

The revisions are consistent with developments in the English language over the past two decades, where the singular “they/their/them” has become widely accepted in reputable academic, legal and religious texts. For instance, the 2011 New International Version (NIV) of the Bible uses “they/them” to refer to a singular antecedent, as in James 4:17: “If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them”, the statement clarifies.

The University further revealed it had responded to the National Coalition for Proper Human Sexual Rights and Family Values inquiries and condemned Mr Foh-Amoaning n “unwarranted” and “disrespectful” attempt to personalise an institutional governance matter through an attack on the vice-chancellor.

They further demanded an immediate retraction of the statements made by Mr Foh-Amoaning, as well as a public apology to the vice-chancellor and the university community; failure will lead to appropriate legal action under Ghanaian law.

UG’s statement follows: Moses Foh Amoaning, a private legal practitioner and Executive Secretary of the National Coalition for Proper Human Sexual Rights and Family Values, has blown an alarm on the University of Ghana.

According to Foh Amoaning, the University of Ghana has changed its admission policy to accommodate LGBTQ+ activities.

He further accused the UG Vice Chancellor and her council of ignoring their letters concerning the school’s change in its admission policy.

Speaking on Onua TV, Moses Foh Amoaning alleged, “The University of Ghana, which is a public university, has accepted transgenderism as part of its statutes.

The Vice Chancellor, a female, who goes to church and her council have changed their University statutes to admit transgenderism and LGBTQ+ activities, we will not understand it”.

Foh Amoaning added, “When we wrote a letter to her, she did not even show us the respect of responding to our letters. When we issued a press conference, I heard she called my office, saying they are going to respond to our letter.

This is the University of Ghana. Look at the student there, you want to change the perception in the University of Ghana. The things going on in the Secondary schools, if we speak to them, we will not have time”.

Foh Amoaning also highlighted that parliament passing the anti LGBTQ bill and President Mahama assenting to it will strengthen Ghana’s fight against those promoting and advocating for LGBTQ activities. 

He added, “When the bill is passed and the president assents to it, it will help, because it will make it easier for the police to enforce the laws against those promoting and engaged in advocacy”.

It will stop the advocacy and the sponsorship, and it will stop the recruitment of our children and the grooming”.

Agradaa’s appeal against her 15-year jail term adjourned to December 4

The founder of the Heavenway Champion International Ministry, Patricia Asiamah, popularly known as Mama Pat, alias Agradaa, appeal against her 15-year jail term has been adjourned to December 4.

Agradaa’s court appearance on 20th November was adjourned as the appeal records were not ready.

According to her lawyers, the trial was flawed, the judgment unreasonable, and the judge biased.

The High Court in Amasaman will now hear Agradaa’s appeal against her 15-year jail term on 4th December.

She was convicted in July 2025 for defrauding church members through a money-doubling scheme.

Her team seeks to have the conviction and sentence overturned.

 Agradaa is serving a 15-year jail term after she was sentenced for two counts of defrauding by false pretences.

She was sentenced by Her Honour Evelyn Asamoah of the Circuit Court.

Agradaa was also fined GH¢300 for one count of charlatanic advertisement, with a 30-day custodial sentence in default of payment.

Her charges stem from a televised advertisement she aired in 2022.

In the ad, Agradaa claimed she has the power to double the money for her congregants at the Godsway International Heaven Church, misleading them into surrendering their money during an all-night church service at her Weija-based ministry in Accra.

According to the Judge, Evelyn Asamoah, Agradaa skilfully executed the offences and showed no remorse during proceedings.

Meanwhile, Osofo Appiah Biblical  has offered a striking account of Nana Agradaa, also known as Evangelist Mama Pat current condition, describing her as visibly transformed and ‘pitiful.’

Sofo Appiah Biblically revealed that his case with incarcerated Rev. Patricia Asiamah is not yet concluded.

He further expressed deep sadness for Agradaa, whom he claims has changed significantly and become very withdrawn.

According to him, all three of her lawyers failed to appear in court today, preventing her plea bargain from taking place, and as a result, the case has been adjourned to December 2nd.

Speaking to the media, Osofo Appiah Biblical stated, “Agradaa was in court today. When you see her, you will be shocked. Her whole body has changed. We were stunned by her physical appearance in court today.”

Soldier caught on tape assaulting a pharmacy attendant and a female customer granted GH¢70,000 bail

WO1 William Mensah, a Soldier with the Ghana Armed Forces who was caught on tape physically assaulting a pharmacy attendant and a female customer, has been granted a GH¢70,000 bail.

According to reports, WO1 William Mensah has been granted GH¢70,000 bail with two sureties.

In a post shared by SIKAOFFICIAL, read, “The Ghana Armed Forces soldier WO1 William Mensah, who was caught on CCTV physically assaulting a pharmacy attendant and a female customer, after a brief confrontation about a GH¢65 refund at the e-Pride pharmacy near Burma Camp, has been granted GH¢70,000 bail with two sureties”.

His arrest comes after he assaulted a drugstore attendant and a female customer at a pharmacy in Burma Camp in civilian clothes.

In the CCTV footage going viral on social media, the alleged military man is seen slapping both the woman and the pharmacy attendant.

The information gathered suggests, the military officer demanded a refund of about ₵65 after rejecting the medication he had sent a boy to purchase on his behalf.

The pharmacy attendant reportedly informed him that the drugs sold are not returnable, which irritated the man and led him to assault both the attendant and the woman.

In the viral video, the military officer pushed the female customer on the chest when the phone pull out her phone to record him. He then slapped the female twice before taking his aim at the pharmacy attendant.

Meanwhile, the owner of the Burma Camp Pharmacy, where a military officer assaulted a Pharmacy attendant and a female customer, has shared details on their conditions.

According to the pharmacy owner, the pharmacy attendant in the viral video is complaining of severe migraine and a ringing sensation in his ear.

He also added that the female customer is also traumatised.

The Burma Camp Pharmacy owner is quoted by GHOne TV to have stated, “The pharmacy attendant in the viral video is complaining of severe migraine and a ringing sensation in his ear, the lady is also traumatised”.

Also, Retired Ghana Air Force officer and Chairman of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), Patrick Nelson Sogbodjor, has said that while the police may charge the officer with assault, the military would handle the case differently.

He stated, “The military cannot charge a Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO) for assault; that’s a civil matter. However, after internal investigations, the military may charge him with conduct unbecoming of a senior MCO. If found guilty, he could be demoted or summarily dismissed. The police will handle the assault charge, and the military will follow up accordingly, but he cannot be dismissed instantly for assault alone,” Sogbodjor explained.

“It’s unfair to tag the military as undisciplined. The men we train are disciplined. What we saw on television was unacceptable, but it reflects an individual’s actions, not the entire force. There will always be exceptions, but the military as an institution upholds discipline.”

“My wife has changed her name to Evangelist Josephine Asiamah” – Angel Asiamah

The husband of incarcerated Nana Agradaa, commonly known as Patricia Asiamah or Mama Pat, Angel Asiamah, has announced to her congregation that their former leader has changed her name to Josephine in prison.

According to Angel Asiamah, the change of name to Josephine is a reflection of Joseph’s imprisonment in Egypt from biblical times.

He added that the new name signifies a transformation in her life and character.

Speaking about his visits to Mama Pat, to the congregation of Heavenway Champion International Ministry, Angel Asiamah stated, “My wife told me that her name has been changed to Josephine Asiamah, a.k.a. Mama Pat”.

Ofori-Atta, seven others, SML-GRA scandal case adjourned

The former Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta, and seven others’ case regarding the Strategic Mobilisation Limited (SML) revenue assurance contract with the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has been adjourned to a later date.

The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) made this known in a statement on X on Monday, 24 November 2025, stating, “CR/0106/2026 Kenneth Nana Yaw Ofori-Atta & 7 Ors.

This case has been adjourned as the Court would not sit on the originally scheduled date of 24 November 2025. 

A new date will be communicated to the Republic and the Accused Persons”.

The OSP had earlier announced that the eight suspects would be arraigned before the court today, Monday, November 24, 2025.

The eight suspects were supposed to be arraigned before the court in connection with the 78 charges filed against them in connection with the Strategic Mobilisation Limited (SML) revenue assurance contract with the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA).

In a post on X on Thursday, November 20, the OSP revealed it will seek necessary court orders for the service of the charge sheet on the fugitives who are outside Ghana.

The OSP in a statement on X stated, “Court case update.

The Republic v Kenneth Ofori-Atta & 7 Ors.

Accused persons will be arraigned before the court on Monday, 24 November 2025.

The Prosecution will seek the necessary court orders for service of the charge sheet on the fugitives who are outside of the jurisdiction”.

The OSP formally last week charged Kenneth Nana Yaw Ofori-Atta and 7 others with 78 counts of corruption and corruption-related offences.

Meanwhile, Private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu has said the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) is gambling with charges levelled against former finance minister Ken Ofori-Atta and seven others in the SML case.

Lawyer Kpebu raised concerns over the charges filed by the OSP, describing the charges as questionable.

According to Lawyer Kpebu, he does not trust the Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng after he allowed Ofori-Atta to escape the country.

Speaking on Eyewitness News with Umaru Sanda Amadu on Tuesday, November 18, Kpebu stated, “Kissi Agyebeng allowed Ofori-Atta to escape, so I cannot trust him. If you look at some of the charges he has filed, he’s deliberately gambling with financial loss. Financial loss is not part of the OSP’s mandate.

“Now you’re going to use this case to gamble. If you get to the court and it says no, as for financial loss, it’s too huge. What are you going to do? Is it part of the ploy to gamble?”

He added, “I don’t trust the charges at all. I cannot trust Kissi Agyebeng; he once worked for Ofori-Atta. Ofori-Atta is his formal client. Kissi worked for Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko. Same circle. Ask if Kissi Agyebeng ever attended a meeting with Ofori-Atta, and that man is going to prosecute Ofori-Atta, aaahbaai, what a joke.”

NPP’s Nyindam, barred from acting as MP, files appeal against court rerun decision

Matthew Nyindam, the previously declared winner of the Kpandai parliamentary election, has filed an appeal seeking a stay of execution against the ruling of the High Court in Tamale.

The Tamale High Court, today, 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.

The NDC Parliamentary Candidate for Kpandai alleged irregularities in the voting and collation processes that undermined the credibility of the outcome.

Daniel Nsala Wakpal filed the suit challenging the election of Matthew Nyindam as MP for Kpandai.

According to him, the parliamentary election held in the Kpandai in the 2024 election was invalid.

He cited “irregularities and inconsistencies in FORM 8A (Regulation 32(7) and 39(2) Statement of Polls for the Office of Member of Parliament — Pink Sheet) for 41 polling stations out of the 152 polling stations in the constituency”, reports suggest.

The NDC Parliamentary Candidate for Kpandai stated, “The parliamentary election held in the Kpandai constituency on 7th December 2024 was not conducted in compliance with Regulations 39 of the Public Elections Regulations, 2020 (CI 127) and the principles laid down by Regulations 39, and that the said non-compliance affected the results of the elections.

“The declaration and publication of the parliamentary election results held in the Kpandai constituency on 7th December 2024 were not made in compliance with Regulations 43 of the Public Elections Regulations, 2020 (C.I 127) and the principles laid down by Regulations 43, and that the said non-compliance affected the entire results of the parliamentary elections in the Kpandai constituency.”

Wakpal, therefore, sought an order setting aside the declared results affecting the 41 polling stations. He further requested: “An order directed at the 2nd and 3rd respondents to conduct a re-run of the parliamentary elections in the affected 41 polling stations out of the 152 polling stations in the Kpandai constituency on a date determined by the court.”

His Lordship Emmanuel Brew Plange, in his judgment, upheld the petition and ordered the Electoral Commission to organise a new election to determine the rightful winner of the Kpandai constituency election.

The legal team of Mr Nyindam is now seeking the court’s verdict and temporarily halting the execution of the rerun pending the outcome of the appeal.

According to the Deputy General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), the appeal was filed at 10:04 am, immediately following the court’s announcement.

Speaking to Channel One TV, Haruna Mohammed stated, “Before the proceedings began, I was there along with the other lawyers. Immediately, the computer was opened, and the judgment was already there. I was surprised because we had not even argued the case in court. What we saw outside was all the bigwigs of the NDC jubilating before the judgment came out”.

“All the pink sheets had been signed by all party agents, and there were no issues with the remaining polling stations aside from the 41. If anything, the rerun should only cover those polling stations,” he noted.

Meanwhile, the NPP’s Matthew Nyindam in the 2024 elections secured 27,947 votes representing 53.47%, whereas the NDC’s Daniel Nsala Wakpal got 24,213 votes representing 46.33% with a third contestant, Donkor Eric Nipani of the APC, polling a meagre 104 votes representing 0.20%.

The gap between the NDC and NPP, the vote difference was 3,734.

“Afenyo-Markin crying louder, because he has an interest in Torkornoo being CJ” – Sory

Thaddeus Sory, a private legal practitioner, has said the Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, is crying louder than everyone else in the removal of former Chief Justice Gertrude Araba Sackey Torkornoo because he has a personal interest.

It may be recalled that Afenyo Markin, at the vetting of Justice Baffoe-Bonnie, stated former Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo was cloaked in unacceptably opaque circumstances.

According to Afenyo-Markin, the process of the removal of Justice Torkornoo was a travesty of justice.

Afenyo-Markin highlighted that Justice Torkornoo’s removal breached constitutional procedures.

Speaking at the vetting of Justice Baffoe-Bonnie, Afenyo-Markin, giving his preliminary comment, stated, “It is our [minority] contention that the removal of Torkornoo didn’t adhere to any constitutional procedure.

Never should any Ghanaian suffer such a fate. The removal of Torkornoo was cloaked in unacceptably opaque circumstances”.

According to Thaddeus Sory, new revelations suggest Afenyo-Markin was rendering services for the Judiciary under Torkorno and was getting huge commercial profits from them.

He highlighted that Afenyo-Markin made it look like he was fighting for the national public interest and sold it out to his colleagues to believe that it was a collective position, but it was for his personal interest.

He further highlighted that Afenyo-Markin was one of the reasons why his client petitioned President Mahama for the removal of the Chief Justice.

Speaking in an interview with KSM, Thaddeus Sory detailed, “The Minority Leader was one of the reasons why my client petitioned for the removal of the then Chief Justice. There was a huge count which mentioned his name and mentioned the acts that formed the basis of our petition.”

“We said he had set a precedent, in fact, a record in the court by being the only party, or being the only person who, within two hours, was able to get a full panel of the Supreme Court, presided over by the former Chief Justice Gertrude Araba Torkornoo, to give him orders that by the scope of the application before the court, no court in the world of the common law jurisdiction will give him.”

He added, “In the course of all of those proceedings, and after people who knew the two of them spoke to me, and said, ‘Don’t you understand that is his sister’.”

KSM then asked, “Sister, in terms of what?”

Mr Sory responded: “That they come from the same place. Two, when her father died, the Minority Leader hosted her visitors, and people who were there called me.”

“If I had attended the next proceedings, the next person against whom I was going to raise that objection was the Chief Justice.”

Thaddeus Sory continued, “I said, you know, all of these arguments we are having back and forth, and you are literally descending into the arena of conflict is because somebody that you are close to is the plaintiff in this particular matter. Who was the plaintiff? It is Alexander Afenyo-Markin.”

The private legal practitioner also alleged, “Also, there is now information coming out that services are being rendered in the judicial service which are linked to Afenyo-Markin. He’s rendering those services and getting commercial profits from them, and huge ones.”

“And so at this point in time, when Afenyo-Markin is making it look like there’s a national public interest aspect of all of this nomination process, and there’s some dispute and all of that, it has nothing to do with a minority position.”

“He sold it out to his colleagues to believe that, well, we all have to take a collective position against this, but it is a personal interest.

“And so the facts that we have show that he has an interest in her being there. And so he’s crying louder than every other person, because he has an interest in the woman being there.”

Mahama petitioned by EC staff to sack Jean Mensa and deputies

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

Reports suggest this is not the first petition received by President Mahama for the removal of Jean Mensa and deputies.

It will be recalled that some months ago, a civil society organisation calling itself Positive Transparency and Accountability Movement Africa (PTAAM Africa) was putting pressure on President John Dramani Mahama to take action on a petition seeking the removal of Jean Mensa and deputies.

According to the civil society organisation, they have petitioned John Mahama to remove Electoral Commission (EC) Chairperson Jean Mensa and her deputies, Eric Bossman Asare and Samuel Tettey.

They revealed the petition was submitted on January 8, 2025, a day after President John Mahama assumed office.

PTAAM Africa is accusing the Jean Mensa-led Electoral Commission of causing financial loss to the state, creating a constitutional crisis, and engaging in mismanagement and abuse of funds.

PTAAM Africa’s Vice President, Rashid Isah, has expressed frustration over the lack of response from the Presidency despite sending follow-up reminders in April.

Speaking on Joy FM on Wednesday, September 3, 2025, Rashid Isah stated, “As a matter of fact, we’ve not had any clear communication on what action the President intends to take on our petition. We have sent reminders, and we are prepared to follow up if nothing is done”.

“While we recognise that the new administration may need time to settle, our patience is wearing thin. We are keeping our fingers crossed, but we have also taken note of certain actions by this government that appear to be geared towards the same goal. As a team, we will soon decide on our next line of action,” Isah noted.

Rashid Isah cited the EC’s decision to compile a new voters’ register for the 2020 elections, which cost over US$80 million, as an example of mismanagement and also referenced incidents of electoral violence and the disenfranchisement of an entire constituency in 2020 as evidence of a constitutional crisis.

Also, Prof Baffour Agyeman-Duah, a former United Nations Senior Governance Adviser, has revealed that Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC), Jean Mensa, and her two deputies, Dr Eric Bossman Asare and Samuel Tettey, are next in line to be removed from office.

Afenyo-Markin fingered for allegedly profiting hugely from judicial services under Torkornoo

Thaddeus Sory, a private legal practitioner, has exposed the Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, for allegedly profiting hugely from judicial services under former Chief Justice Torkornoo.

“If NDC brings nkoko nkitinkiti, we will also import nkoko diseases” – NPP communicator 

A New Patriotic Party (NPP) Ashanti Regional Communication member has revealed the party’s shocking plan to counter the ruling NDC government’s nkoko nkitinkiti initiative.

According to the NPP communicator, if the  NDC introduce their nkoko nketenkete initiative, they in the NPP will also bring in poultry farm diseases to ruin the project.

Speaking on Wontumi TV, the NPP Ashanti Regional Communication member boldly stated, “I was telling an NDC member the last time, if they bring in the chickens, we will also import chicken diseases to Ghana and hawks, the project will not hold”.

However, President John Dramani Mahama has officially launched the “Nkoko Nkitinkiti” initiative.

The flagship NDC nationwide programme aimed at transforming household poultry production and revitalising Ghana’s poultry industry.

President Mahama, at the launch in Kumasi on Wednesday, November 12, described the initiative as a bold and practical step towards achieving food self-sufficiency.

Mahama stated, “The project was more than just a government intervention. A national movement, a courageous step towards restoring food self-sufficiency, strengthening household resilience, and fostering sustainable livelihoods for tens of thousands of Ghanaians, especially women, youth, and vulnerable families across our country.”

“In 2023 alone, Ghana spent over $350 million importing poultry products. That is a drain on our foreign exchange and a missed opportunity for our farmers and entrepreneurs. We must, and we will, reverse this trend.”

He further added, “Each of these 50 anchor farmers will receive 80,000 birds, housing, logistics, and technical support. Together, they are expected to produce 4 million birds. This will boost local feed demand and establish direct market connections between producers and processors.”

“We are supporting 500 small and medium-scale poultry farmers across all regions to produce 3 million birds, bridging the gap between large-scale farmers and community-based producers.”

Mahama added, “This initiative is designed to bring poultry production directly to the doorsteps of every Ghanaian in homes, in schools, and in communities across the country. Vulnerable households will receive pullets and starter packs to initiate production, transforming subsistence into self-sustaining livelihoods.”

“Each household participating in the programme will receive 50 birds, field support, and technical guidance to ensure the sustainability of their project. The breeds, pullets, and cockerels have been selected for their resilience, adaptability, and high productivity under local conditions.”

Meanwhile,  the Minister of Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, has revealed that the John Mahama government’s flagship project, the ‘Nkoko Nkitinkiti‘, will cost Ghana approximately GHS 200 million.

He detailed that three million birds will be procured under the government  ‘nkoko nkitinkiti’.

According to the Agric Minister, each constituency will receive 10,000 birds.

Speaking on Hot Issues with Keminni Amanor on Sunday, September 28, 2025, Minister for Food and Agriculture Eric Opoku stated, “ We are procuring 3 million birds; each constituency will receive 10,000. This will not cost Ghana beyond GHS 200 million”.

The Agric Minister revealed that an additional 80,000 birds will be supplied to 50 existing commercial-scale farmers, with medium-scale farmers receiving between 1,000 and 3,000 birds each.

Eric Opoku revealed that Ghana imports more than 80% of its poultry needs, which is unsustainable.

“Ghana consumes a lot of poultry compared to a country like Nigeria. With this initiative, we can change the narrative and stop excessive importation,” Eric Opoku stated.

“We have not conducted any DNA test” – Elder brother of the late Samuel Aboagye

Nana Kwabena Gyamera Oyiakwan II, the Chief of Adansi Kwapia and elder brother of the late Samuel Aboagye, has debunked media reports that suggest that a DNA test has been conducted to validate the paternity of his child with Abigail Aboagye.

There were rumours on social media which claimed that a test had confirmed the former NADMO Deputy Director, Samuel Aboagye, one of the 8 victims of the helicopter crash, as the father of his wife’s infant daughter.

In a post shared by Ghana Chronicles stated, “DNA test confirms late Samuel Aboagye is father of Abigail’s infant daughter”.

However, according to the elder brother of the late Samuel Aboagye, no DNA test has been conducted, and the media reports are untrue.

Speaking to Adom News, Nana Kwabena Gyamera Oyiakwan II stated, “We have not conducted any DNA test. These stories in the media are untrue because, for now, we haven’t conducted any tests. If we conduct the DNA and the child is Samuel’s child, that will clear our doubt, so if it is done, we will update the public”.

“The DNA test will only be done after the court concludes its proceedings. Any information circulating now is pure speculation,” he stressed.

The rumpus follows: the family of Samuel Aboagye, who is requesting a DNA test to confirm the paternity of a child he shared with his wife, Abigail Aboagye.

The family has sued her for obstructing the investigation, but she’s also asking the court to stop the DNA test mission.

However, Abigail Aboagye has refused to consent to the test and has filed a petition in court to stop the family from proceeding with it.

Rumours suggest, Abigail Aboagye was allegedly having an affair with an Ashanti Region MP (name withheld), even before he passed away.

In court, Mrs Aboagye’s legal representatives have reportedly filed a motion asking the court to reject the family’s request.

The Obuasi District Court has adjourned the case to December 23, 2025.

Meanwhile, Stephen Amoah, the Member of Parliament for Nhyieso, has debunked the allegation linking him to the child of the former NADMO Deputy Director, Samuel Aboagye, one of the 8 victims of the helicopter crash.

According to Stephen Amoah, he met Abigail Aboagye seven years ago, but had not seen her for the past seven years until he was invited to her husband’s funeral.

He argued that he only met her again during the funeral of her husband, which makes it impossible for him to be the father of the three-year-old daughter of the widow.

The Nhyieso MP further argued that he is not crazy to father a child with someone’s wife.

“Trump’s 15% imposed tariffs on Ghana’s Cocoa, others lifted” – Ablakwa

Ghana’s Foreign Affairs Minister, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has announced that the United States has officially lifted the 15% tariffs that were imposed on cocoa and certain agricultural products from Ghana.

It may be recalled that there was an executive order by President Trump which placed reciprocal tariffs on a number of countries, including Ghana, at 15%.

Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, in a social media post on X, revealed that the decision took effect on November 13, 2025, following an executive order from President Donald Trump.

Ablakwa, in his post, wrote, “The United States Administration has officially informed the Government of Ghana that President Trump’s 15% imposition of tariffs on Cocoa and certain qualifying agricultural products from Ghana has been rescinded.

US diplomats confirm to me that the 15% tariff reversal came into effect on November 13, 2025, following President Trump’s new Executive Order”.

He further listed other agricultural products exempted, “Other agricultural products from Ghana now exempted include cashew nut, avocado, banana, mango, orange, lime, plantain, pineapple, guava, coconut, ginger and assorted peppers.

With an estimated annual Ghanaian cocoa beans export to the US averaging 78,000 metric tons, and at the current spot price of $5,300/MT, Ghana stands to raise additional revenue of US$60 million (GHS667million) each year, resulting from Trump’s tariff rescission”.

Ablakwa post added, “Ghana welcomes this positive development from the US, which is the world’s leading importer of chocolate and cocoa products.

Ghana and the USA will continue to forge closer and mutually beneficial relations,” the post concluded.

Some netizens reacting to the news stated, “This is how our commercial gold ought to be traded, so Goldbod is welcoming news, now extend it to all mining companies in Ghana and reduce reliance on commercial loans. We can truly build Ghana without borrowing. God gave us so much gold”.

“What does this mean to the farmers? Please,  increase the price per bag? Some, please educate me”, a netizen added.

One more X user added, “Good news. Trump isn’t a conventional politician. He ignores geopolitical norms and deals strictly on a transactional basis. He has no personal issue with any nation, just bring a clear deal, and he’ll listen”.

An X user added, “We didn’t really have a problem with the tariff since the cocoa beans would still be bought because chocolate must be had. They goofed and corrected themselves, no need to celebrate this one”.

Additionally, an X user wrote, “Sure, we had to do some dirty work to get this, facilitating the deportation of some brothers, but it’s cool, at least we got something more substantial than eswatini”

Court sentenced Man to 15 years for defiling a 13-year-old girl

The Amasaman Circuit Court has sentenced 35-year-old Daniel Darkwa to fifteen(15) years in prison.

According to reports, Daniel Darkwa has been sentenced to fifteen years in prison with hard labour for the defilement of a 13-year-old girl at his home in Amasaman.

Reports suggest the convict, who is a close friend of the victim’s father, lured the 13-year-old into his home.

In court, the prosecution revealed that Daniel Darkwa, after having sex with the 13-year-old girl, gave her 10 cedus for school; however, the girl confided in her teacher, leading to the arrest of the convict.

In a post shared by SIKAOFFICIAL on X wrote, “The Amasaman Circuit Court has sentenced 35-year-old Daniel Darkwa to fifteen(15) years in prison with hard labour for the defilement of a 13-year-old girl at his home in Amasaman.

The convict, a close associate of the victim’s father, reportedly lured her into his home after she passed by his neighbourhood to greet her grandmother, who also lived nearby.

According to the prosecution, the convict, after having sex with the victim on November 7, 2025, gave her GH¢10 and allowed her to leave for school. The victim, however, confided in her school teacher and reported the incident, leading to the arrest of Mr Daniel”.

Also, in another defilement case, Eric Asamoah, 26, has been sentenced to 16 years’ imprisonment with hard labour after defiling a 7-year-old boy.

“We need to ask Akufo-Addo what he was doing while his ministers were looting our coffers dry” – Dr Kennedy

Dr Arthur Kennedy, a Physician and Political activist, has said former President Akufo-Addo needs to be questioned about what he was doing while his ministers and appointees were looting Ghana’s coffers dry.

According to Arthur Kennedy, the sins of Ken Ofori-Atta cannot be talked about without mentioning Akufo-Addo because he was reporting to him.

Speaking on JoyNews’ Newsfile, Dr Arthur Kennedy stated, “We seem to be practising a serial one-party dictatorship that lasts a four or eight-year term. Once that system is over, the other comes and makes noise. Where was parliament when these things were happening? There are a lot of people who have questions to answer.

Remember how a lot of NPP MPs wanted Mr Ken Ofori-Atta removed, and for a whole year, all of them could not get one person removed.

 “If we are talking about the sins of Ken Ofori-Atta, he was reporting to somebody. I think that, at some point, we need to be asking the former president (Akufo-Addo) what he was doing while his ministers were looting our coffers. He has a moral responsibility to address some of these sins”.

He further added, “It seems as if, as long as the Akufo-Addo government remained in power, Ken Ofori-Atta was untouchable. We need to move towards a Justice system where, regardless of who is in power, whichever your position is, independent agencies like the OSP can go after people”.

Dr Kennedy highlighted that Ghana needs to move from the system where the government in power see their appointees as immune from judicial processes. 

“The Attorney General’s office in a country that is serious ought to be able to go after people, which is why the United States brought the idea of Special Council. We need to move away from this system where being an incumbent insulates you from judicial processes and you can do whatever you like with impunity, in effect”, he added.

Meanwhile, President John Mahama has noted that Ghana’s problems in the corruption fight have always been post-regime corruption, with the incumbent government failing to deal with corrupt appointees once a scandal emerges.

President Mahama delivered a strong message to his appointees, reinforcing his dedication to combating corruption within his administration.

According to President Mahama, the first person who brings a scandal to his government will be hanged on a cross.

Speaking to leaders of the Christian Council of Ghana in Accra on Tuesday, November 18, 2025, President Mahama stated, Before I became president, I had indicated that we’re going to take the fight against corruption to a whole new level. And it’s not anything personal against anybody”.

“Our problem in the fight against corruption is that it is always post-regime corruption that we fight,” he noted.

He added, “And when we start investigating the cases of corruption, the previous government states that, ‘You are witch-hunting us; this is political persecution’”.

“I have served notice to my ministers, every day at Cabinet meetings: woe betide any of my appointees who brings a scandal. I will hang them on a tree,” he declared.

“Ghanaians did not elect Mahama to pray for them” – Pratt lashes out over Christian Council’s Cathedral plea

Veteran broadcaster Kwesi Pratt has lashed out over the Christian Council of Ghana’s plea to President John Mahama to complete the stalled National Cathedral project.

According to Kwesi Pratt, the people of Ghana did not elect President Mahama to pray for them but to use the country’s resources to ensure that resources are used sensibly to resolve their concrete problems.

He boldly asserted that Ghanaians can pray for themselves in their numerous religious centres.

Kwesi Pratt expressed his disappointment with the  Christian Council, which admitted that the people of Ghana are going through excruciating hardship, but asked the President to continue building the National Cathedral.

In a post on X, Kwesi Pratt wrote, “I DISAGREE. Many things appear to have happened when the leadership of the Christian Council called on the President at the @flagstaffhouse1 Flagstaff House.

It is interesting that the Christian Council could ask the President to continue building the so-called National Cathedral even as they admitted that the people of Ghana are going through excruciating hardship”.

He added, “What worries me is not the insensitivity of the men and women in cassocks. It is the response of the @JDMahama President, who said that after the audit on the cathedral is finished, he will sit down with them to discuss how to build a fitting place of worship.

The point must be made that the Government has no business building any place of worship with anybody.

The people of Ghana did not elect President Mahama to pray for them. They can do that for themselves in their numerous religious centres. They voted for Mahama and the NDC to ensure that national resources are used sensibly to resolve their concrete problems of unemployment, poor national infrastructure, limited access to social services and neo-colonial exploitation”.

His comment comes on the back of the Christian Council appealing to the Mahama administration to consider completing the contentious National Cathedral project.

Meanwhile, President John Dramani Mahama has told the Christian Council it is excessive at this time to spend 400 million dollars on a National cathedral.

According to John Mahama, the 400 million cost for the National Cathedral is excessive, citing that Nigeria built an ecumenical centre at $40 million.

Speaking during a courtesy visit by the Christian Council of Ghana to the Jubilee House on November 18, 2025, John Mahama stated, “I believe that at this time and age, with all the problems we have, $400 million to build a cathedral is excessive. I know Nigeria have built an ecumenical centre and I’ve been there.

It’s a decent, beautiful place, and they built it for $40 million. And so, maybe some of the things are excessive, you know. Let’s find somewhere, all of us, on the National Day of Thanksgiving and worship. We can all go there and worship God and thank him for what he has done for us,” he said.

President John Mahama further added that after the forensic audit into the National Cathedral, he will engage the Christian community to see how Ghana can build a place that is decent for worship.

“When that forensic audit is over, our intention is to have a broad-based consultation with the Christian community to see how we can build a place that is decent for us to worship. But apart from that, make it a centre where people can come and, I mean, look at its architecture and all that and find that Christ, you know, has a place in our hearts, in our nation. And so, when the time comes, we’ll do that consultation and we’ll decide together how we want to go forward,” he added.

Also, Rev Stephen Adom Kyei Duah, the Founder and Leader of the Believers Worship Centre, has cautioned President John Mahama and the NDC to remain focused.

The man of God urged the John Mahama-led NDC government to remain focused on managing Ghana and to disregard the Christian Council’s appeal for the completion of the National Cathedral.

According to Rev Stephen Adom Kyei Duah, the National Cathedral project is the biggest swimming pool in the country.

He highlighted that if the government is not a church, to is building a Cathedral, arguing that if God needs a Cathedral, it would not have anything to do with the government.

Rev Adom Kyei further cited the Muslims building their mosques without the government’s support.

Speaking to his congregants during a church service, Rev Adom Kyei Duah explained, “I am advising the NDC government and President John Mahama to remain focused. The biggest swimming pool… if God wants a cathedral, would it have anything to do with the government? Is the government a church? When Muslims build mosques, do you see any of them going to the government?”

OSP drags Ken Ofori-Atta, 7 others before court today

The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) will today, Monday, November 24, 2025 will arraign former Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta and seven others before the High Court.

The eight suspects will be arraigned before the court in connection with the 78 charges filed against them in connection with the Strategic Mobilisation Limited (SML) revenue assurance contract with the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA).

In a post on X on Thursday, November 20, the OSP revealed it will seek necessary court orders for the service of the charge sheet on the fugitives who are outside Ghana.

The OSP in a statement on X stated, “Court case update

The Republic v Kenneth Ofori-Atta & 7 Ors.

Accused persons will be arraigned before the court on Monday, 24 November 2025.

The Prosecution will seek the necessary court orders for service of the charge sheet on the fugitives who are outside of the jurisdiction”.

The OSP further gave a breakdown of the counts facing the 8 suspects in the SML prosecution. Kenneth Ofori-Atta (A1)is facing 28 counts, Ernest Darko Akore (A2) is facing 12 counts, Emmanuel Kofi Nti (A3) is facing 39 counts, Ammishaddai Owusu-Amoah (A4) is facing 10 counts, Isaac Crentsil (A5) is facing 19 counts, Kwadwo Damoah (A6) is facing 8 counts, Evans Adusei (A7) is facing 19 counts, and finally SML (A8) is facing 18 counts

Part of the suit filed at the High Court in Accra under case number CR/0106/2026, reads, “Conspiracy to commit the criminal offence of directly or indirectly influencing the procurement process to obtain an unfair advantage in the award of a procurement contract, contrary to section 23(1) of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29), and section 92(2)(b) of the Public Procurement Act, 2003 (Act 663).”

The OSP in another post further detailed the case titled “The Republic V Kenneth Ofori-Atta and 7 others”.

The post read, “All you need to know;

Kenneth Ofori-Atta (A1) was the Minister of Finance at all material times in relation to him.

Ernest Darko Akore (A2) was the Chef de Cabinet of Kenneth Ofori-Atta (A1) in his capacity as the Minister of Finance at all material times in relation to him.

Emmanuel Kofi Nti (A3) was the Commissioner-General of the Ghana Revenue Authority at all material times in relation to him.

Ammishaddai Owusu-Amoah (A4) was the Commissioner-General of the Ghana Revenue Authority at all material times in relation to him. Isaac Crentsil (A5) was the Commissioner of the Customs Division of the Ghana Revenue Authority at all material times in relation to him.

Kwadwo Damoah (A6) was the Commissioner of the Customs Division of the Ghana Revenue Authority at all material times in relation to him. Evans Adusei (A7) is the Chief Executive, beneficial owner, and controlling mind of SML (A8).

SML (A8) is a company registered in Ghana (formerly known as Strategic Mobilisation Enhancement Limited).

The Accused Persons conspired to set up and did perform acts in furtherance of the conspiracy to set up a criminal enterprise of directly and indirectly influencing the procurement process to obtain unfair advantage for SML (A8) in the award of procurement contracts for transaction audit services, external price verification services, measurement audit of downstream petroleum products, upstream petroleum audit services, and minerals audit services purportedly by the Government of Ghana, acting through the Ministry of Finance and Ghana Revenue Authority.

The criminal enterprise was commenced in 2017 by Kenneth Ofori-Atta (A1), Emmanuel Kofi Nti (A3), Evans Adusei (A7), and SML (A8), with the other Accused Persons joining the adventure at various times. The criminal enterprise was characterised by no genuine need for contracting SML (A8) for the obligations it purported to perform, and the contracts were secured for SML (A8) through self-serving patronage, sponsorship, and promotion by Kenneth Ofori-Atta (A1), Ernest

Darko Akore (A2), Emmanuel Kofi Nti (A3), Ammishaddai Owusu-Amoah (A4), Isaac Crentsil (A5), and Kwadwo Damoah (A6) based on false and unverified claims.

Also, the contracts were attended by the commission of egregious prohibited acts as mandatory statutory prior approvals by Parliament, and the Procurement Authority were wantonly disregarded by Kenneth Ofori-Atta (A1), Emmanuel Kofi Nti (A3), Ammishaddai Owusu-Amoah (A4), Isaac Crentsil (A5), and Kwadwo Damoah (A6), who acted with increased emboldened impunity as they freely abused their public offices by using the offices for private benefit.

Further, Kenneth Ofori-Atta (A1), Emmanuel Kofi Nti (A3), Ammishaddai Owusu-Amoah (A4), Isaac Crentsil (A5), and Kwadwo Damoah (A6) ensured that there was no established financial management system of monitoring and verification to assure that the Republic was obtaining the value for the money it was paying to SML (8), and the channels of payments of public funds to SML (8) were set on automatic mode by Kenneth Ofori-Atta (A1), Emmanuel Kofi Nti (A3), Ammishaddai Owusu-Amoah (A4), Isaac Crentsil (A5), and Kwadwo Damoah (A6) detached from actual performance and based on false and unverified claims in wilful oppressive injury to the public.

The actions of Kenneth Ofori-Atta (A1), Emmanuel Kofi Nti (A3), Ammishaddai Owusu-Amoah (A4), Isaac Crentsil (A5), and Kwadwo Damoah (A6) created the opportunity for SML (A8) to largely pretend to perform the services under the various contracts – leading to immense financial loss to the Republic of about One Billion Four Hundred and Thirty-Six Million Two Hundred and Forty-Nine Thousand Eight Hundred and Twenty-Eight Cedis Fifty-Three Pesewas (GHC1,436,249,828.53).

And had they not been halted by the actions of three petitioners who lodged a complaint with the Office of the Special Prosecutor in December 2023 against the criminal enterprise; corruption and corruption-related investigations conducted by the Office of the Special Prosecutor between 20 December 2023 and 3 October 2025; Government intervention of temporarily suspending performance of the purported services in early January 2024; and a directive by the President of the Republic on 31 October 2025 for the termination of all the public contracts awarded to SML (A8) by the Ministry of Finance and Ghana Revenue Authority – the Accused Persons also intended that a further estimated Two Billion Seven Hundred and Ninety-Nine Million Six Hundred and Four Thousand Eight Hundred and Sixty-Four United States Dollars Seventy-One Cents (US$2,799,604,864.71) be paid to SML (A8) for a period of five(5) years without the mandatory statutory prior authorisation by Parliament.

The Accused Persons based their actions on their false claims that SML (A8) possessed technical expertise and capability in revenue assurance, and that the technical expertise and capability of SML (A8) had greatly increased revenue for the Republic; and further that  SML (A8) exclusively possessed the only patented and proven technology systems in the world for value chain transaction audits, external price verification, and measurement audit services in the downstream petroleum, upstream petroleum, and minerals sectors.

Based on the above, the Accused Persons have been charged before the Criminal Division of the High Court”, the post concluded.

All recruitment centres in Accra closed except El-Wak – GAF

The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) has announced effective Monday, November 24, 2025, all of its recruitment centres in Accra will be closed except the El-Wak Sports Stadium.

In a post by the Ghana Armed Forces on X on Monday, November 24, 2025, read, “GAF Recruitment Update. All recruitment centres in Accra for the 2025/2026 exercise, except El-Wak Sports Stadium, will be closed on Monday, 24 November 2025.

All potential recruits yet to undergo documentation and body selection screening should report to El-Wak Sports Stadium for the continuation of the documentation and body selection process”.

Meanwhile, one individual was arrested with a forged document during the ongoing military recruitment exercise at the El-Wak Stadium.

The Ghana Armed Forces confirmed the news of the arrest.

The Director of Protocol for the Ghana Armed Forces, Colonel Evelyn Asamoah, revealed on Thursday, November 20, 2025, that the suspect will be dealt with in line with established procedures.

Also, Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), William Agyapong, together with members of Parliament’s Defence and Interior Committee, led by James Agalga, have visited the El Wak Stadium to monitor the recruitment exercise.

This comes after GAF, in a press statement on Monday, November 17, 2025, signed by Captain Veronica Adzo Arhin (Ghana Navy), Acting Director General of Public Relations, also announced the resumption of its recruitment exercise in the Greater Accra Region.

Furthermore,  Captain Veronica Adzo Arhin, the Acting Director-General of the Department of Public Relations of the GAF, has provided an update on the victims of last Wednesday’s stampede at the El-Wak Sports Stadium.

According to Captain Veronica Adzo Arhin, three out of the five patients initially admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU)  have been moved to another ward.

Speaking in an Interview on Citi Eyewitness News on Monday, November 17, Captain Arhin explained, “The injured are doing well, they are at the hospital, and they are receiving the best of care. On the day of the incident, we had five people in the ICU. As we speak, three of them are doing well and they have been moved to another ward”.

“On the day of the incident, 29 people were brought to the hospital. As we speak now, we have about 16 currently there. Others are all receiving care, some have been discharged, and they have gone home, and they are getting the best of care. We are praying that we do not lose another life, so we are giving them all the best that we can,” she added.

She further revealed that GAF is taking all the financial burden at the 37 Military Hospital, covering the full medical cost of all victims with support from the government.

“37 Hospital is taking the full bill of anybody that comes there with any form of accident related to the stampede, and for that matter, the government,” Captain Arhin assured.

“Afenyo-Markin is not sitting pretty; there have been attempts to remove him” – Kwesi Pratt

Veteran broadcaster Kwesi Pratt has claimed there have been attempts to remove Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin from his position as Minority Leader in Parliament.

According to Kwesi Pratt, Afenyo-Markin is not sitting pretty as a minority leader in parliament.

He highlighted that Patrick Yaw Boamah confirmed this on Asempa FM’s “Ekosii Sen” programme on Monday, November 17, 2025.

In a post on X, Kwesi Pratt wrote, “There are very strong indications that the Minority leader in Parliament, the Honourable @AfenyoMarkin.

Afenyo-Markin is not sitting pretty, and there have been attempts to remove him.

In an effort to distance himself from a plot to remove Afenyo-Markin, Patrick Yaw Boamah, a respected NPP Member of Parliament, has confirmed that there were serious moves to take the Efutu MP out as Majority leader in the 9th Parliament”.

Kwesi Pratt further went on to quote Patrick Boamah’s words during the interview in his post on X.

Kwasi Pratt comments follow, Patrick Yaw Boamah, the Member of Parliament for Okaikwei Central, who has refuted claims that he is eyeing the minority leader position in parliament.

According to Patrick Yaw Boamah, he has been friends with Afenyo-Markin for so many years, and he has no interest in becoming the minority leader.

The Okaikwei Central lawmaker recounted how he stood by Afenyo-Markin when some of his colleagues attempted to plot a coup to remove him as minority leader for the 9th Parliament.

Speaking in an interview on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen on November 17, 2025, stated, “There is nobody in Ghana’s Parliament who knows Afenyo-Markin more than I do. We’ve been friends for years, and we’re still very close. We share ideas all the time”.

“I was one of the people who defended him when some individuals tried to unseat him. We are grooming young leaders in the party, so there was no need to change him. At that point, he hadn’t even served a full year as Majority Leader before we lost the election,” he said.

Patrick Yaw Boamah added, “I’m not interested in the Minority Leader position. But that does not mean the caucus does not have other ideas because we are building a caucus as a minority and as a party to win the next general election, and we must be very strategic. What we discuss internally shouldn’t be discussed outside. It doesn’t help unity”.

When asked if he was nursing presidential ambition, Patrick Boamah did not outrightly rule it out, nor did he show keen interest. He stated, “God has His time for everything. I am qualified to run for the presidential primaries, but I believe everything must happen at the right time,” he said.

Patrick Boamah asserted that his priority is helping to reorganise and strengthen the NPP as it seeks to reposition itself to move the country forward.

“We’re working on fixing the party. We believe we have strong policies that can help the country,” he added.

Meanwhile, Afenyo-Markin has voiced strong confidence in the work being done by the minority caucus in Parliament.

According to Afenyo-Markin, the majority caucus having sleepless nights tells him that his caucus is doing something right.

The minority leader asserted that he might not like the way the majority leader is doing things, but that is the method that he has adopted.

He further highlighted that while the majority holds the numerical advantage, the minority excels in terms of content and consistently delivers high-quality submissions.

Speaking on Asaasepa FM, Afenyo-Markin stated, “Seeing the heat from us, I think it is his own strategy of also keeping up. I don’t see it personally. I have been a majority leader before, and I wouldn’t have adopted that approach, but it is his style. I can sit here and condemn him.

I don’t need to be comfortable with it, but I also don’t give him comfort because what he is doing tells me and my caucus that we are effective. The fact that the Majority is having sleepless nights tells me that we are doing something right”.

He further boldly declared that the NDC majority cannot match them when it comes to debate on the floor of parliament.

“In the chamber, strength exists only in numbers; in favour content favours us. I am saying that in the chamber, when a headcount is being conducted, they have the numbers, but when it comes to the work in parliament and sharing ideas, they cannot compete with us; they know that.

When it comes to debating, they do not come to our level”, he added.

“People of Kyebi were drinking water with pigs” – NDC MP claims

Yusif Sulemana, the Deputy Minister for Lands and Natural Resources and Member of Parliament for Bole, has caused a stir, claiming the people of Kyebi in the Eastern Region were drinking water with pigs.

According to the NDC MP, if President John Mahama has not done anything for Kyebi, at least he provided them with portable drinking water when they were drinking water with pigs.

He made these remarks when he was responding to claims of the decline of water bodies due to illegal mining.

Speaking on the floor of parliament, Yusif Sulemana boldly stated, “If John Mahama has not done anything for the people of Kyebi, he provided them with portable water when they were drinking water with pigs”.

In a sharp rebuttal, Annoh-Dompreh, the Minority Chief Whip, described the deputy minister’s remarks as unfounded, offensive and disrespectful.

He further called on the Deputy Minister to provide evidence to back his claims or withdraw the comment and apologise.

He said the people of Kyebi were drinking water with pigs; he made that definite statement.

“Granted that he want he wants to stand by that statement, then he must provide evidence for that statement. Otherwise, the comment must be withdrawn and expunged from the records and must apologise to the good people of Kyebi and the people of Eastern Region,” Mr Annoh-Dompreh said.

According to reports, Bernard Ahiafor, the First Deputy Speaker, later ordered the statement struck out of the Parliamentary Hansard.

However, Yusif Sulemana’s remarks have ignited debate on social media. A netizen who shared the video stated, “Such a lunatic is representing people in Ghana’s parliament! This country would’ve been up in flames if this silly comment had come from an Akan MP. The NDC continues to erase any fibre of decorum and wit in our democracy!”

Another Ghanaian wrote, “This was a strategic decision aimed at igniting a debate. It’s acceptable to say that Northerners drink the same water as cattle, but the same cannot be said for the people of Kyebi. You all are not being serious”.

“Recently, an Akan regional minister claimed that Northerners are not human and suggested that they need to be bathed before entering Kumasi. Do you see nothing wrong with such nonsense? Now, the tables have turned, and you all are crying and sweating like fish out of water”, another X user added.

Another X user added, “So the speaker saw nothing wrong with the deputy lands minister and went on to ask what was the offensive word…herrrrh ndc watch out oo.. lil things like this led the NPP out… ghana is watching”.

One more Ghanaian added, “So insensitive. Imagine if this had come from an Akan person directed at people living in the north of Ghana, it would raise a lot of concern. The double standards toward Akans are so wrong. Akans have suffered a lot of tribal insults, but when it’s the other way around,notyn is said”.

“If Southern made this statement, u would ve heard tribal sentiments from the NDC. Mutala Mohammed once said in parliament that JB Danquah and his group were traitors. Nobody in NDC rebuked him, but when someone said JJ was a murderer, u saw the reactions. We shouldn’t encourage the”, one more netizen noted.

Additionally, a netizen recounted, “My father had had an accident in the last 2 years, and he was sent to a village in Old Ningo they drink water with cows.  But Sam George is always here making noise.  Even in Mahama’s hometown, how many people drink potable water?”.

Galamseyers using juju to fortify themselves – Forestry Commission

Nana Poku Bosompim, the Western Regional Head of Forestry Commission, has revealed that illegal miners, commonly known as galamseyers, are using juju to fortify themselves.

According to Nana Poku Bosompim, galamseyers are using “spiritually fortified” armed groups who believe they are immune to bullets and machetes, making the fight against illegal mining even more challenging.

He further revealed that sometimes, during an operation, the galamseyers outnumber them, and they sometimes have to retreat to save their lives.

Nana Poku Bosompim further noted that galamseyers often receive alerts of their operations before they get there.

Speaking on TV3’s Key Points, Nana Poku Bosompim detailed, “Oh yes, exactly. There are times they get information and mobilise, bringing their armed groups and their own security. You see heavily built men; I don’t even know where they come from or whether they are Ghanaians. They look well fortified and have weapons. We’ve seen their masks, pump actions, and some AK-47 rifles with them. These are the guys who come with heavy so-called spiritual fortifications”.

“In fact, if you see the talisman and other objects in their hands, they look so fierce and not open to any dialogue. Sometimes their sheer numbers alone are enough to make us retreat, because we move in a convoy of about 15 to 20 officers and meet 800 to 1,000 people standing there waiting for us. Sometimes it’s better to retreat, because we believe retreat is another phase of war,” he explained.

He further added, “I don’t know where they come from, but all of them are in dreadlocks; they look so fierce. They seem to wear dirty clothes with fugu, charms and talismans all over their bodies. It is believed that when you shoot these people, they may not be harmed. They are said to be fortified against gunshot wounds, machete attacks and the like”.

“There was one incident where one of them was arrested and resisted. About five of my men could not even pull him down until someone told us the talisman he was wearing was in his singlet.

“Can you imagine? A singlet. And when we looked closely at it, we saw some Arabic writing all over it. You wouldn’t notice unless you looked carefully. Someone asked us to cut it. So we cut through the singlet, and that was how the man became weak and was arrested,” he added.

Meanwhile, President John Dramani Mahama has announced that the Cabinet has approved the Public Tribunals Bill.

According to John Mahama, the approval of the Public Tribunals Bill is aimed at fast-tracking the prosecution of galamsey cases.

President Mahama explained that the Public Tribunals Bill will strengthen the country’s resolve to clamp down on galamsey activities.

He highlighted that the measure forms part of the government’s broader efforts to curb environmental destruction and protect Ghana’s forests and water bodies.

Speaking during a meeting with the Christian Council at Jubilee House on Tuesday, November 18, 2025, John Mahama stated, “What the Cabinet did was to pass the Public Tribunals Bill so that we will push issues related to illegal mining to the public tribunals. They will adjudicate faster and ensure that justice is seen to be done”.

“If this comes into effect, we will be able to process cases against illegal mining even quicker,” he added.

A video has gone viral of one of the high-value properties of the seized properties of former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), Kwabena Adu-Boahene.

In the viral video, the narrator in the video revealed that the seized property is situated in Asokore Mampong.

The man driving by the car stated, “Herh in Ghana, people have misappropriated funds. Look at this building around Asokore Mampong, it is not easy, it’s not a small house. EOOCO has seized it. It states the “Property frozen BY EOCO”.

“It’s not a small house, big house. It has been seized”, he added.

Meanwhile, Kwabena Adu Boahene, his wife Angela Adjei-Boateng, and one other have been charged by the state for stealing, defrauding by false pretences, money laundering, and conspiracy to commit a crime.

According to the charge sheet, Kwabena Adu Boahene and his wife stole state funds to the tune of GHc 49 million.

The Attorney General, Dr Dominic Ayine, filed 11 charges against Kwabena Adu-Boahene and three others at the High Court in Accra.

In court some weeks ago, the Supreme Court dismissed Adu Boahene’s legal team’s motion to prohibit Justice John Eugene Nyante Nyadu from presiding over the $49 million case.

The apex court unanimously dismissed the application to prohibit the presiding judge in the Kwabena Adu-Boahene trial from further hearing the case on grounds of bias.

The 5-member panel of justices of the apex court held that the application was without merit and did not meet the requirements to prohibit the trial judge.

It will be recalled that Samuel Atta Akyea, in court before the Supreme Court ruling, walked out of the High Court in Accra after the trial judge, Justice Eugene Nyadu Nyantei, refused to grant an adjournment.

Adu Boahene, lead counsel, had informed the court that his team had filed an application at the Supreme Court seeking to prohibit Justice Nyantei from continuing with the trial.

Atta Akyea requested that the proceedings be halted until the Supreme Court ruled on the matter.

However, his request was opposed by the prosecution, led by Principal State Attorney Esi Dentaa Yankah, who stated, “There is no rule of law that says that proceedings must be halted in order for counsel for the accused to be excused to pursue an interlocutory injunction”.

She highlighted that the defence had repeatedly used such tactics to delay the case.

Ms Yankah added, “It seems that the trend is developing that at every given step of this case, one motion or another is filed and a request for stay is made”.

“And you have made it abundantly clear and in accordance with established case law that the pendency of an interlocutory matter doesn’t justify the stay of proceedings. In counsel’s instant oral application for stay, he hasn’t made any effort to convince the court of any special reason why today’s proceedings should not continue. I pray that his request, though made, be disregarded so that the case can proceed.”

Justice Nyantei, after hearing from both sides, ruled that the filing of a prohibition application at the Supreme Court was not enough reason to suspend the ongoing proceedings.

The Judge’s ruling made Atta Akyea visibly displeased, and he gathered his team and walked out of the courtroom.

The Judge, unfazed, ordered the prosecution’s second witness to take the stand and continue her testimony.

Justice Nyantei also instructed Mr Adu Boahene to either recall his lawyers to court or proceed to represent himself. Following a brief recess, the former NSB Director informed the court that he had been unable to reach his legal team.

The judge subsequently granted Adu Boahene’s request for an adjournment,

“Nigeria is a disgrace, they are killing Christians at will” – Donald Trump lashes out

Donald Trump, the President of the United States, has lashed out at the mass killings of Christians in Nigeria.

According to the US president, Nigeria is a disgrace over the killing of Christians.

President Trump further described the situation in Nigeria as a “Christian genocide”.

He further hinted at stopping all aid to Nigeria over the Nigerian government’s failure to protect Christians.  

Speaking in an interview with Fox News, President Trump stated, “I think Nigeria is a disgrace; the whole thing is a disgrace. They are killing people by the thousands. It is a genocide, and I am really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria, we are going to end up stopping. The government has been very ineffective. They are killing Christians at will”.

He further slammed some American media outlets for not reporting on the matter.

“And you know, until I got involved two weeks ago, nobody even talked about it. The New York Times does not write stories about it,” he said.

Donald Trump had earlier labelled Nigeria as a ‘Country of Particular Concern’ over the Christian genocide claims.

He threatened military action in Nigeria to stop the killings, branding the country a disgrace.

The US President also accused the Nigerian government of failing to protect Christians from violence perpetrated by the Islamic extremists.

Trump further warned once again of his threat to take military action against Islamist militants in Nigeria if the government does not stop attacks on Christian communities.

Meanwhile, Nigeria for years have been struggling with the terrible atrocities being committed against Nigerian Christians, with “Churches being burned down, pastors and church leaders being killed, women and girls being kidnapped and subjected to sexual violence, and often forced into marriages with Muslim husbands”.

Some commentators under Trump’s comment shared by TheCable stated, “USA too is a disgrace. You can say all you like about our politicians, but you have no right to talk down on our country. Enough of this nonsense. I think ALL Nigerians should stand up to this rubbish rhetoric from this orange man”.

Another wrote, “All sane, sensible, responsible, right-thinking, well-meaning, peaceful, decent and patriotic Nigerians are earnestly yearning for the US Government’s intervention via its military actions against those Islamic Fulani terrorists, since BAT is unwilling to do the needful”.

Another wrote, “Trump’s narratives are always “in their thousands.” He is always exaggerating when reeling out his stats, whether immigration or war casualties. Such a reckless leader”.

See viral photos of a Catholic Priest in Nigeria captured with an AK-47 during Mass

Following the recent incident in Nigeria, with Churches being attacked and the mass killing of Christians, a viral photo has surfaced of a Catholic Priest with a gun.

According to some reports, the photo of the Catholic Priest with a firearm during his celebration of Holy Mass was from some 4 or five years ago and has resurfaced following the alleged mass killing of Christians in Nigeria.

In the viral photo, the Catholic Priest was at the sanctuary with an AK-47 rifle hanging on his back.

The State News, which shared the news on X, wrote, “In the wake of the recent tragic incident in Nigeria, a concerned Catholic Church member has shared an image showing a priest with a firearm secured at his back while conducting Mass.

The gesture, according to the member, reflects heightened security awareness within the community”.

Meanwhile, a netizen has claimed the photo is from  2021, during the Ozubulu massacre. The netizen wrote, “Stop this misinformation. This video is from 2021, during the Ozubulu massacre, a clash between two billionaires that resulted in a church attack because one had built the church with his money. Stop misleading the public”.

“This is a military chaplain carrying a rifle. During service, not a civilian priest. It is standard for personnel on duty to be armed either in the barracks or mission field(which is probably the case here). For proof, notice the NA chaplaincy emblem on his cassock”, a netizen added.

Nestlé exposed over alleged double standards putting African children in danger

A Swiss watchdog group, Public Eye, has exposed multinational corporation Nestlé over an alleged double standard on the African market, putting African children in danger.

According to the Public Eye, Nestlé is adding sugar to baby food tailored to the African market.

They accused Nestlé of double standards by not following to health standards applied to richer nations.

The Public Eye revealed the examined nearly 100 samples of Cerelac purchased in over 20 African countries, adding that 94 per cent contained added sugar, noting that Nestle products sold in Africa contain 6 grams of added sugar per serving.

In a post shared by a veteran journalist, Kwesi Pratt stated, “The multi-national corporation, @Nestle NESTLE, is allegedly applying double standards, which puts African children in serious danger.

According to “Public Eye”, a Swiss  Non-Governmental organisation, Nestlé adds sugar to baby food prepared for the African market against guidelines from the World Health Organisation.

“Public Eye” claims that in Switzerland, where the food and drink multinational is headquartered, and other European countries, NESTLE’s main baby cereal brand is sold with zero added sugar.

A report by “Public Eye” said most of the samples of NESTLE’s Cerelac Infant cereals on sale in African countries contained added sugar, while equivalent products sold in Europe do not”, his post concluded.

Also, Public Eye’s food and agriculture expert, Laurent Gaberell, speaking during a hybrid meeting in Lagos, noted a formulation gap between Nestlé’s African markets and wealthier continents.

According to him, the differences in composition are not technical but a strategic business choice.

Laurent Gaberell stated, “Parents cannot make informed choices because they are not told what’s inside.

“Sugar-free Cerelac variants dominate markets in Switzerland, Germany and the UK, while India transitioned to 14 redesigned sugar-free products in 2024 following public pressure”, he added.

Also, Nestlé, Corporate Affairs Manager, Nestlé Nigeria Plc, Toju Egbebi, has rejected the claims.

According to her, Cerelac products with and without sugar are sold in Europe.

She highlighted that in South Africa and Ghana, there are sugar-free Nestle products.

Toju Egbebi stated, “This is not true. Cerelac products with and without sugar are sold in Europe. In Africa, sugar-free variants are already available in South Africa and Ghana. The variant without refined sugar will be rolled out in Nigeria very soon.”

“Our Cerelac infant cereals in Africa do not contain the levels of refined sugars mentioned in this report. The levels of added sugars are well below Codex standards, which we apply everywhere,” she said.

“We offer variants with and without added sugars in the same price range in both Africa and Europe. We are fully transparent about the composition of our products. Depending on regulations, we declare total and/or added sugars. In Nigeria, sugar is listed as an ingredient on our labels.”

Meanwhile, reports suggest there is a growing Childhood obesity on the rise in Africa, with children under five overweight nearly doubling since 1990.

“Greatness is rarely born in comfort, don’t wait for perfect conditions” – Sam Jonah advises youth

Sir Sam Jonah, a Ghanaian business mogul, has advised Ghanaian youths that greatness is rarely born in comfort.

The business titan urged Ghanaian youths not to wait for the perfect conditions but to start now, when they have an idea or a dream.

According to him, greatness is born out of discipline and courage, not comfort.

Sir Sam Jonah, in his acceptance speech at the EMY Africa after winning the prestigious Ultimate Man of the Year Award on Saturday, November 22, 2025, Sam Jonah stated, “To the young people listening tonight, let me say this plainly: don’t wait for perfect conditions. Greatness is rarely born in comfort.”

“If my journey has taught me anything at all, it is that excellence is not an episode. Excellence is a habit. Excellence is a discipline. It is a standard we must insist upon daily, even when no one is watching…”

“If you have an idea, start. If you have a dream, protect it, and if you want to lead, lead first with integrity. For in a world overflowing with noise, it is character that speaks the loudest.”

Sam Jonah further challenged the current leaders to create a pathway for the youths to soar high.

He added, “…creating pathways so that the next generation can run faster, soar higher, and dream bigger than we could ever do.”

“I am the beneficiary of mentors who expanded my ambition, colleagues who matched my commitment and ordinary, hard-working Ghanaians whose toil forms the bedrock of every enterprise I’ve been privileged to lead.”

In separate news, Sir Sam Jonah has said Africa’s long-standing economic model of shipping out raw materials and importing finished products is virtually exporting jobs and importing unemployment.

According to Sam Jonah, African countries prioritising the sale of raw materials over local industrialisation are effectively exporting jobs and importing unemployment.

He challenged African leaders and the private sector must move beyond primary commodity exports and focus on producing finished goods that meet world needs.

Speaking at the launch of the Africa Trade Summit 2026 in Accra on Tuesday, November 18, Sir Sam Jonah stated, “For more than half a century, we have exported cocoa, gold, timber, oil, and bauxite. Yet the jobs, the technologies, the real value—those have been created elsewhere.

Every time we ship out raw materials and import finished products, we effectively export jobs and import unemployment. And we cannot industrialise if we continue feeding other nations’ factories instead of building our own”.

Sir Sam Jonah further stated that the transformation Africa needs will happen through business: through factories operating consistently, through entrepreneurs solving problems.

He added, “The transformation we seek will not happen in ministry conference rooms. It will not happen in communiqués, nor in reports that gather dust.

It happens—in the real world—through business: through factories operating consistently, through entrepreneurs solving problems, through investors taking long-term bets, through regional supply chains linking producers to markets.

That is why the private sector must be at the very centre of Africa’s industrial and trade transformation. Governments set the stage, yes. But it is the private sector that performs the play”.

“In 2027, there’ll be a crack in NDC” – Nigel Gaisie

Prophet Nigel Gaisie, the founder and General Overseer of the Prophetic Hill Church, has said there would be cracks within the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) in 2027.

According to Nigel Gaisie, the NDC will experience an internal rift in 2027, but the party will not be affected but only the individual who exits the party.

He highlighted that what the New Patriotic Party (NPP) experienced in the past with Alan Kyerematen’s exit from the party will happen to the NDC if they do not pray and negotiate.

Speaking in an interview with Bola Ray on StarrChat on November 21, 2025, Nigel Gaisie stated, “In 2027, there is going to be a crack in the NDC prophetically, but it is not going to affect the party; but it will affect the person who will leave the party.

When I talk right now, they will box me somewhere, so I a being careful, I am being measured. But what I have seen clearly is that they were in a room, the NDC were having a meeting, and one very influential person didn’t understand himself. He opened the door, slammed the door, and he didn’t come again,” he narrated.

He added, “So, from 2027, if they don’t manage things well, just like what happened with Alan Kyeremanten, but if they can pray, if there can be negotiation, these things will be averted”.

Also, Nigel Gaisie in that same interview revealed he will drop a prophecy on December 31 about New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential aspirant Kennedy Agyapong.

According to the man of God, the prophecy will shock the entire nation of Ghana.

Speaking on StarrChat, Nigel Gaisie stated, “On 31ST December, the prophecy I will give about Kennedy Agyapong will shock the entire nation”.

In the meantime, Nigel Gaisie has dropped a prophecy ahead of the events scheduled for December in Ghana.

The man of God issued a stern warning to event organisers within the Ghanaian entertainment industry concerning programs this December.

According to Nigel Gaisie, in his revelation, he saw fire breaking out during a large event, leading to the tragic deaths of several event attendees.

Nigel Gaisie urged event organisers, the IGP, and National Security to prioritise safety, crowd control, and emergency preparedness.

Speaking to his congregants on Sunday, November 16, Prophet Nigel Gaisie detailed, “From now to December to the 7th of January, the hand of the Lord picked me I saw in the realm of the supernatural that they have plotted especially for the entertainment industry of the Republic of Ghana. This is what I saw when the spirit of the Lord carried me.

I saw that the people of Ghana majority of them, were at an event centre, and all of a sudden, I saw something like fire; there was disorder, then I saw chaotic order in my vision. All of a sudden, I saw hundreds and thousands dying.

So this December, the organiser of the entertainment industry must hear the voice of God, and National Security should hear the voice of God, and CDS should hear the voice of God, IGP should hear the voice of God, and the participant of this program should hear the voice of God”.

Nigel Gaisie added, “Demons are looking for blood, to embarrass this government. If we do not pray, it will be a national cry. So I will pray at my level and let the prayer warriors also pick it up. If you get this video, let’s pray for the Republic of Ghana and let us take precautions. 

Don’t insult from the internet, I hear from God, the Lord said I should tell the nation so that intercessors will pray, so that our mothers will pray, so that those organising this event will take precaution measures.

They have plotted death, and it’s going to be massive deaths, it will come through events”.

“I didn’t mean to insult or look down on Fulanis” – Ambulance Service officer apologises over viral video

Philip Kwame Twumasi, an officer of the National Ambulance Service (NAS), has issued an apology to the Fulani community.

According to the Ambulance Service officer, he did not mean to insult or look down on the Fulanis.

He asserted that the video was to encourage everyone that one can make it in the World irrespective of their background.

Speaking in a brief video released after the backlash, Twumasi apologised, saying, “This is Commander Twumasi, I’m here to apologise to my dear Fulanis wherever they’re in West Africa and the World. The video I made with my recruit was just a video was to encourage him to tell every other person that you can make it in life when focused.

“So, behind the video, you could see that we were laughing together and he was giving me some slow match. I didn’t mean to insult Fulanis. I didn’t mean to look down on Fulanis or show disrespect. I respect you people a lot. I’m very sorry, I apologise to the world, all the security services, all the Fulanis.

“I apologise that some of you will let bygone be bygone, and forgive me. He’s my friend and he comes to me if he needs anything. All the chiefs in all the countries in the world, forgive me. Former Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia and your wife forgive. It will never happen again,” he said.

His apology has since sparked debate, with some critics questioning the sincerity of the apology, insisting they had some reservations about Ambulance Service officer tone.

The officer’s apology comes after a viral video that captured him in an alleged unprofessional conduct toward a recruit at the National Ambulance Training School in Nkenkaasu.

The Officer was captured in an inappropriate interaction with a recruit, Karim Latif.

Citi FM and Channel One Journalist Umaru Sanda, reacting to the viral video, stated, “This is the saddest thing I’ve seen on the Internet today. The actions of this officer are not only stereotypical and discriminatory, they are stupid, uncouth, backward and unprofessional. I am not able to tell if this is the Ghana Armed Forces or any of our Internal Security”.

Meanwhile, the National Ambulance Service (NAS) has launched an investigation into a viral TikTok video.

In a statement signed by Deputy Director of Public Relations, Simmons Yussif Kewura read, “We strongly condemn any form of bullying, harassment, or discriminatory behaviour,” the statement said.

“NAS added that disciplinary action would be taken if the allegations are confirmed. “We are investigating the incident and will take immediate disciplinary action against Philip Kwame Twumasi if found guilty of the allegations.”

It added, “The safety and well-being of our recruits is our top priority,”

“NAS is committed to maintaining a culture of respect, inclusivity, and professionalism, and we will not tolerate any behaviour that undermines this.”

“I’m here for my own future” – Kotoku Sabama Chief tells GAF recruitment officer

Nii Adjetey Donkor, the Chief of Kotoku Sabama, was spotted at the Eastern Naval Command in Tema for a medical screening in the Ghana Armed Forces.

According to the Chief of Kotoku Sabama, he is at the GAF recruitment screening to fight for his own future.

The Chief of Kotoku Sabama in the Greater Accra Region was spotted at the screening on Friday, November 21, 2025, as he underwent medical screening.

He joined hundreds of Ghanaian youths seeking to qualify for enlistment into the military.

The Chief of Kotoku Sabama has highlighted that being a chief does not prevent him from pursuing his personal ambitions.

Speaking during an interview at the screening grounds, he stated, “I’m just here to fight for my own future”.

When asked about the physical demands of the military might conflict with the traditional restrictions placed on chiefs, he stated, “I’m a man of authority…If I command, people can do it. But as far as I’m here, if you command me, I’ll also do it”.

He further told his people of Kotoku Sabama to take opportunities in the security services seriously.

“If me being the chief, I’m here, then they should also try to engage themselves in the security services”, he added.

Some netizens reacting to the video stated, “Everybody pick mind for this country oh”.

“The land finishes so Nii is ‘fighting for his own future…”, a netizen added.

“There are paramount chiefs serving in the military, so why are these recruiters asking such questions. Many of the soldiers are elders and leaders of their villages as well”, one more X user added.

“I know what this chief is up to, war on those lands guards who took his father’s lands”, a netizen added.

“Normally, a chief should have some military experience. Even heads of state should have it so that they can experience the system before they become its Commander-in-Chief, but in Africa, it’s easy to abuse these things”, a netizen added.

Nii is trying to look sharp because his grandfathers and fathers have sold all the land, leaving nothing for him. He has to secure his future and his children’s. Nii, all the best and good luck. People should free Nii Donkor.

One more netizen wrote, “You don’t even have to have any lineage or ties to the Nii Saban Kofi family, and you are parading yourself as Sabanman Chief. You better go and tell your father, who installed you to find a place for you as chief, coz you perfectly know Sabanman is hot. Your father couldn’t even stand”.

Additionally, a Ghanaian added, “If this man eventually runs for office, I will be in full support. He is ready to come down to the level of his subjects to achieve greater things mad May Allah grant him good success and keep him a good man for our future”.

Court sentence Mason to 48 months in prison for stealing 17 cattle

The Amasaman Circuit Court has sentenced 46-year-old mason Kwame Obeng to 48 months in prison.

Kwame Obeng was sentenced to 48 months in prison for stealing 17 cattle valued at GH¢228,000.

In court Obeng admitted taking the animals, explaining that he acted out of hardship.

He further claimed his employer had failed to pay an agreed GH¢700 salary, and he had to support two children as well.

The information gathered suggests, the incident happened on October 30 when the accused took 21 cattle out to graze and never returned.

Kwame Obeng later sold 17 cattle for GH¢96,000, receiving an initial payment of GH¢30,000.

However, the buyer, upon realising the cattle were stolen, reported the accused to the police, leading to his arrest.

The State News in a post on X wrote, “Amasaman Circuit Court has sentenced 46-year-old mason Kwame Obeng to 48 months in prison for stealing 17 cattle valued at GH¢228,000.

Investigations revealed that Obeng sold 17 of the cattle for GH¢96,000, receiving an initial payment of GH¢30,000. The buyer later became suspicious after realising the animals were stolen and alerted the police, inviting Obeng to collect the remaining money. He was arrested upon arrival”.

In a another court case, Eric Asamoah, 26, has been sentenced to 16 years’ imprisonment with hard labour after defiling a 7-year-old boy.

“Ignore Christian Council’s plea for the completion of the biggest swimming pool” – Adom Kyei tells Mahama

Rev Stephen Adom Kyei Duah, the Founder and Leader of the Believers Worship Centre, has cautioned President John Mahama and the NDC to remain focused.

The man of God urged the John Mahama-led NDC government to remain focused on managing Ghana and to disregard the Christian Council’s appeal for the completion of the National Cathedral.

According to Rev Stephen Adom Kyei Duah, the National Cathedral project is the biggest swimming pool in the country.

He highlighted that if the government is not a church, to is building a Cathedral, arguing that if God needs a Cathedral, it would not have anything to do with the government.

Rev Adom Kyei further cited the Muslims building their mosques without the government’s support.

Speaking to his congregants during a church service, Rev Adom Kyei Duah explained, “I am advising the NDC government and President John Mahama to remain focused. The biggest swimming pool… if God wants a cathedral, would it have anything to do with the government? Is the government a church? When Muslims build mosques, do you see any of them going to the government?”

The man of God further fired shots at the Christian Council of Ghana for labelling him as an anti-Christ.

“If your prayers are answered, you will not be going to the Jubilee House to go and beg. Since you have declared me anti-Christ, you will then abandon Jesus and start to follow me”, he added.  

His comment comes on the back of the Christian Council appealing to the Mahama administration to consider completing the contentious National Cathedral project.

Meanwhile, President John Dramani Mahama has told the Christian Council it is excessive at this time to spend 400 million dollars on a National cathedral.

According to John Mahama, the 400 million cost for the National Cathedral is excessive, citing that Nigeria built an ecumenical centre at $40 million.

Speaking during a courtesy visit by the Christian Council of Ghana to the Jubilee House on November 18, 2025, John Mahama stated, “I believe that at this time and age, with all the problems we have, $400 million to build a cathedral is excessive. I know Nigeria have built an ecumenical centre and I’ve been there.

It’s a decent, beautiful place, and they built it for $40 million. And so, maybe some of the things are excessive, you know. Let’s find somewhere, all of us, on the National Day of Thanksgiving and worship. We can all go there and worship God and thank him for what he has done for us,” he said.

President John Mahama further added that after the forensic audit into the National Cathedral, he will engage the Christian community to see how Ghana can build a place that is decent for worship.

“When that forensic audit is over, our intention is to have a broad-based consultation with the Christian community to see how we can build a place that is decent for us to worship. But apart from that, make it a centre where people can come and, I mean, look at its architecture and all that and find that Christ, you know, has a place in our hearts, in our nation. And so, when the time comes, we’ll do that consultation and we’ll decide together how we want to go forward,” he added.

“Ofori-Atta, through his son, has applied for permanent residence in the US” – Kpebu blows alarm

Martin Kpebu, a private legal practitioner, has once again blown an alarm on embattled former Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta.

According to Martin Kpebu, his sources tell him that Ken Ofori-Atta, through one of his sons, has applied for permanent residence in the US.

Speaking on The Key Points on TV3 on November 22, 2025, Kpebu stated, “It turns out that in the interim, Ken Ofori-Atta is trying to get permanent residence in the US. You know, this work we do, if I had to disclose all my sources, my sources would dry up. It’s credible, but I have to keep citizen journalism. I have the right to keep it”.

“So right now, the key thing is that, and that’s why it’s really aching me more. As the OSP was being reluctant, Ofori-Atta, through one of his sons, applied for permanent residence in the US. So that complicates his return”, he added.

He further explained, “I look at where the source is coming from. I believe it. And of course, if push comes to shove, we’ll go into the US system, which is there, and they’ll say, Okay, we’ll do an RTI request to the Department of Homeland Security and the State Department in the US”.

“So the key thing is that, as we’re here, from January [2025] we started asking for trial in absentia. The OSP came and gave us ridiculous, ludicrous answers, that, no, you cannot do a trial in absentia. Eleven months! The fugitives, as described, are not in the country, obviously. So the trial is going to go on,” he fumed.

However, the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has issued a public notice regarding the news of INTERPOL dropping a red notice against former finance minister Ken Ofori-Atta.

According to the OSP, the process initiated by the lawyer of Ken Ofori-Atta to get their client removed from the  INTERPOL red notice is still pending.

The OSP, however, argued that the Commission for the Control of INTERPOL’s Files is still studying the case, adding that during the proceedings, the Applicant’s name, image and details are often removed from public view until a final determination.

In a post on X, the OSP stated, “In October 2025. The Commission for the Control of INTERPOL’s Files notified Ghanaian Authorities that the Accused Kenneth Nana Yaw Ofori Atta had applied for the removal of his name from INTERPOL’s Red Notice. The Commission requested Ghana’s response to Mr Ofori Atta’s application. Ghana’s response was duly submitted on 22 October 2025.

By communication dated 7 November 2025, the Commission for the Control of INTERPOL’s Files notified Ghanaian Authorities that Accused Kenneth Nana Yaw Ofori-Atta had filed additional arguments in an addendum, and the Commission requested Ghanaian Authorities to file their response to Mr Ofori-Atta’s additional arguments by 21 November 2025.

The proceedings are still pending, and the Commission for the Control of INTERPOL’s Files is still studying the case. During the pendency of the proceedings, the Applicant’s name, image and details are often redacted from public view until a final determination is made.

The public is urged to disregard all publications to the contrary as borne of mischief and misinformation”.

Additionally, Martin Kpebu has boldly told the Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, that his game as a double agent is over.

According to Martin Kpebu, the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) is engaged in double agent work, which Ghanaians cannot continue to deal with.

He boldly claimed that Kissi Agyebeng appears to be working for the people of Ghana, and at the same time serving the former finance minister Ofori-Atta’s interest.

Speaking in an interview with GhanaWeb, Martin Kpebu stated, “This double agent work, we cannot continue to deal with double agency. You are either working for the people of Ghana or you are not. But to be working, to appear to be working for the people of Ghana, and also be serving Ofori-Atta’s interest, we can’t accept that”.

He added, “Because he said, ‘I intercepted the letter, I intercepted the letter,’ and you sat down and you allowed him to go.”

It’s wrong because it’s a cigarette, but it’s a common thing that parents do when the kid is disturbing them”.

Additionally, a netizen added, “The fact that the girl was crying because they haven’t given her the cigarettes clearly indicates that this is not the first time they have allowed her to smoke…..

In another disturbing news, the Ghana Police Service has confirmed the arrest of Isaac Adonteng, a 54-year-old, following the tragic death of his 13-year-old daughter, Celestine Adonteng, at Kokrobite.

A statement issued by the Weija Divisional Police command indicated that preliminary investigations show that the suspect, Isaac Adonteng, allegedly physically assaulted his deceased daughter with a cane, a metal pipe, and other objects after accusing her of taking food meant for her younger sibling.

The police statement further revealed that despite the child suffering multiple injuries, he reportedly failed to seek medical attention and confined her in a room, where she was later found unconscious.

She was rushed to the Police Hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival.

The statement added that the Police have recovered a cutlass and a metal pipe believed to have been used in the assault.

“Prophets of my calibre have private jets, I pray I buy one soon” – Nigel Gaisie

Prophet Nigel Gaisie, the founder and leader of the Prophetic Hill Chapel, has said that Prophets of his calibre own private jets.

The man of God speaking to Bola Ray on StarrChat revealed he prays he can buy a private jet soon.

According to Nigel Gaisie, when he acquires the private jet, he will use it for his crusades and business as well.

Nigel Gaisie is quoted by Starr FM to have said, “Prophets of my calibre have private jets, I pray I buy one soon for crusades and business”.

Also, Nigel Gaisie, in that same interview, revealed he will drop a prophecy on December 31 about New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential aspirant Kennedy Agyapong.

According to the man of God, the prophecy will shock the entire nation of Ghana.

Speaking on StarrChat, Nigel Gaisie stated, “On 31ST December, the prophecy I will give about Kennedy Agyapong will shock the entire nation”.

Meanwhile, Nigel Gaisie has dropped a prophecy ahead of the events scheduled for December in Ghana.

The man of God issued a stern warning to event organisers within the Ghanaian entertainment industry concerning programs this December.

According to Nigel Gaisie, in his revelation, he saw fire breaking out during a large event, leading to the tragic deaths of several event attendees.

Nigel Gaisie urged event organisers, the IGP, and National Security to prioritise safety, crowd control, and emergency preparedness.

Speaking to his congregants on Sunday, November 16, Prophet Nigel Gaisie detailed, “From now to December to the 7th of January, the hand of the Lord picked me I saw in the realm of the supernatural that they have plotted especially for the entertainment industry of the Republic of Ghana. This is what I saw when the spirit of the Lord carried me.

I saw that the people of Ghana majority of them, were at an event centre, and all of a sudden, I saw something like fire; there was disorder, then I saw chaotic order in my vision. All of a sudden, I saw hundreds and thousands dying.

So this December, the organiser of the entertainment industry must hear the voice of God, and National Security should hear the voice of God, and CDS should hear the voice of God, IGP should hear the voice of God, and the participant of this program should hear the voice of God”.

Nigel Gaisie added, “Demons are looking for blood, to embarrass this government. If we do not pray, it will be a national cry. So I will pray at my level and let the prayer warriors also pick it up. If you get this video, let’s pray for the Republic of Ghana and let us take precautions. 

Don’t insult from the internet, I hear from God, the Lord said I should tell the nation so that intercessors will pray, so that our mothers will pray, so that those organising this event will take precaution measures.

They have plotted death, and it’s going to be massive deaths, it will come through events”.

“Ato Forson will win the 2028 election for the NDC” – Isaac Adongo

Isaac Adongo, the Chairman of the Finance Committee, has said that if the Minister of Finance, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, stays on his current path, he does not see the next president going beyond him.

According to Isaac Adongo, Ato Forson will win the next election for the NDC if he keeps focus as he had started.

Speaking on GHOne on Isaac Adongo explained, “Privately, I told him (Ato Forson). I said if you continue on the path that you are continuing, I don’t see the next president beyond you. I told him personally because to has done the things that he has done in this short period, and don’t forget that he has the full backing of His Excellency [Mahama].

“If you have a finance minister who doesn’t have the backing of the president, he will be a failure because there are certain difficult decisions that you take that even your colleagues are not comfortable with, but that is what is required to swallow the bitter pill and heal”.

He continued, “I’m not by this saying that Ato Forson wants to contest for president, but it is just to let him understand how I situate the work that he has done. He’s a young man; I don’t think he may even be having that contemplation.

But just to let him understand that we are sitting back, we are impressed with the work that he’s done and that he should keep the focus. And if he keeps the focus, he will win the next election for the NDC. There’s no two ways about that. And I do believe that his biggest strength was placing Ghana first,” he explained.

Isaac Adongo further revealed, “Yesterday, we looked at a couple of agreements that were signed before he came. Agreements that required parliamentary approval under Article 181 (5) were not brought; required approval under the public financial management at Section 33, they were not brought; tax exemptions that were over-bloated, but he was able, with his team, to renegotiate and give Ghanaians $9 million of benefits, lower than what he came to inherit.

“But also said, ‘Look, this thing requires the approval of the people of Ghana. So, I’m going back to Parliament. I want to be transparent. I want the people of Ghana to give me the mandate to implement the agreement that I have renegotiated. ’ That financial governance mentality will go down as one of his best.”

Meanwhile, Paul Adom-Otchere, a Ghanaian broadcaster and the host of Good Evening Ghana, has said Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson is President John Mahama’s anointed choice to succeed him.

He claimed President John Mahama has identified Ato Forson and John Jinapor as his preferred NDC candidates for the 2028 elections.

According to Adom-Otchere, John Mahama is backing Ato Forson following his performance in handling the Ghanaian economy as Finance Minister.

Adom-Otchere described the ticket of Dr Cassiel Ato Forson and  John Abdulai Jinapor as the president’s ticket.

Speaking on his Good Evening Ghana show on October 31, 2025, Adom-Otchere alleged, “This is President Mahama’s ticket, from what we are hearing, Cassiel Forson, the finance minister… He’s been told that if he continues doing what he’s doing until the end of next year, he will be the anointed choice of John Mahama as the next flagbearer of the NDC”

Who is going to be his running mate, our good friend John Jinapor, member of parliament and minister for Energy. The two ways the NDC want to say they are doing well in government are one of them, energy, and the other is finance”.

He added, “Ato Forson will tell you that the cedi was 17, it is now 10, it’s a feather in his cap. He will tell you gold reserves have improved and petroleum prices have been stabilised”.

He further alleged that Cassiel Ato Forson has his eyes set on becoming the leader of the NDC.

“Cassiel Ato Forson is firmly focused on becoming the leader of the NDC, the presidential candidate of the NDC, going forward to the 2028 election, and his running mate is John Jinapor.

“John Jinapor, they call him ‘JJ’ in Parliament, and he’s the deal. The two of them, Ato Forson and Jinapor, are the president’s ticket. Forget about everything else,” Adom-Otchere asserted.

“It been five weeks, still no reintroduction of anti-LGBTQ bill” – Rev Ntim Fordjour

Reverend John Ntim Fordjour, the Member of Parliament for Assin South, has stated that it has been five weeks since Speaker Bagbin assured parliament of the reintroduced anti-LGBTQ bill, but there is still no show.

The lead sponsor of the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, widely known as the anti-LGBTQ bill, asserted that Speaker Bagbin assured that the reintroduced bill was undergoing final fine-tuning for a smooth passage and implementation.

However, despite the assurance, the bill is yet to be seen for reconsideration in parliament.

According to Ntim Fordjour, the bill must be reprogrammed on the order paper next week for deliberation.

Speaking on the floor of Parliament on Friday, November 21, Rev Ntim Fordjour stated, “It is five weeks since Mr Speaker gave that ruling, and since then no attempt has been made by this House to have the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill addressed, even as the cancer of LGBTQ continues to devastate our norms and culture and threaten our family values in this country.

There seems to be complete silence on this. The House must not create the impression that what was a priority in the Eighth Parliament has suddenly been thrown under the carpet.

The Speaker declared that it should be on the order paper, but this attempt by the government to block the bill from being featured is a big disappointment to the people of this country. We demand that if it was an oversight or error, it must be corrected, and the bill added to the order paper so that it will be laid and presented for first reading,” he said.

However, Mahama Ayariga, the Minority leader, refuted his claims, arguing that the Mahama government has no plan to hinder the reintroduction of the bill.

Meanwhile, President John Dramani Mahama has made a definitive statement on the pending anti-LGBTQ bill legislation, declaring that he will assent to the bill if it is passed by Parliament.

According to John Mahama, a person’s gender is determined at birth, adding that the family is the foundation of our nation.

He added that there is no question what Ghanaians believe in.

Speaking to leaders of the Christian Council of Ghana in Accra on Tuesday, November 18, 2025, President Mahama stated, “We agree with the Speaker to relay the bill and let Parliament debate it, and then if there are any amendments or whatever that have to be done. If the Parliament of the people of Ghana endorses the bill, votes on it, and passes it, and it comes to me as President, I will sign it”.

“A person’s gender is determined at birth, and the family is the foundation of our nation. That is our position. So, there are no questions or equivocations about what we believe,” President Mahama noted.

He added, “We agree with the Speaker to relay the bill and let Parliament debate it, and then if there are any amendments or whatever that have to be done”.

“NPP fears going extinct by the time 2026 budget is executed” – NDC MP

Kofi Benteh Afful, the NDC Member of Parliament for Sefwi Wiawso, has mocked the NPP Minority in Parliament as the One Corner Minority.

According to the NDC MP, the minority are failing to see the distinction between economic growth and development.

He asserted that the NPP minority fears that when the 2026 budget is executed, they will become extinct.

Kofi Benteh Afful further mocked the NPP minority, saying that their best score in the December 2024 election was 87 out of 276.

Speaking on the floor of parliament, Kofi Benteh Afful stated, “Before I became a parliamentarian, I heard that this House had two sides, your left-hand side and your right-hand side. But ever since I came here, I’ve seen a median. However, what I have seen are four ‘connects,’ one of which is occupied by the NPP, which was in the previous government.”

“Our friends in one corner are trying to tell us that they have forgotten the basic economics of the distinction between economic growth and economic development. If this is what you did, then I’m not surprised that you went into the examination in December 2024, and your best score was 87 out of 276.”

“We would not want to be like you. We are treading cautiously. The Minister for Finance is not only a finance expert, he is also an accountant and has taught us how to prudently manage an economy,” he said.

“Today, we are presenting a budget that is not only seeking to grow the economy but to develop it. Even though we have stepped up to grow the economy by 4.8%, Mr Speaker, in this 4.8%, 800,000 jobs are going to be created to solve some of the problems they left behind,” he said.

The MP added, “That is why he is not running his mouth. He doesn’t want to run away. He doesn’t want to be a fugitive of justice. He wants to be able to come back home and attend the funerals of relatives.”

“Their only fear is that by the time the programmes in this budget have been executed, they will become extinct.”

The NDC in the ninth parliament of Ghana has a two-thirds majority in Parliament with 184 out of 275 seats, along with four independent MPs, while the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) holds 86 seats.

Also, Patrick Yaw Boamah, the Member of Parliament for Okaikwei Central, has described the planned Accra-Kumasi expressway as unnecessary and a misplaced priority.

The lawmaker lambasted the Mahama government for failing to add to the existing road project, but rather seeking to undertake what he describes as a far-fetched project that lacks funding.

Speaking on the floor of parliament, Patrick Yaw Boamah stated, “Mr Speaker, if you look at the cover page of this year’s budget, you can see a clear Photoshop of a certain express road that the minister spoke about.

Mr Speaker, what is the crime of the people of this country, especially most of us who travel that road to our villages, especially from Accra to Paga and to Bawku, for eight years from 2009 to 2016, not a single kilometre was added by the NDC government.

You come into government instead of prioritising the completion of the dualization of the Accra-Kumasi road, you are telling us that you are going to construct an express road with what funds?”

The lawmaker added, “It is a completely misplaced priority. What the Ghanaian want to see is the completion of the dualization project that was started by the Akufo-Addo Kufuor administration, then you can look at that. Even the financial muscle does not help you, how are you going to construct this?”.

He further added, “In 2025, only, death on the Accra-Kumasi highway is 525 for the Eastern Region, Ashanti 570, and Greater Accra 331. A reasonable government will take the completion of the dualization program as a priority, complete it and save Ghanaian lives rather than taking another step of constructing an expressway way which I believe is not a priority for Ghanaians”.

“Majority having sleepless nights tells me we are doing something right” – Afenyo-Markin

Afenyo-Markin, the minority leader in Parliament, has voiced strong confidence in the work being done by the minority caucus in Parliament.

According to Afenyo-Markin, the majority caucus having sleepless nights tells him that his caucus is doing something right.

The minority leader asserted that he might not like the way the majority leader is doing things, but that is the method that he has adopted.

He further highlighted that while the majority holds the numerical advantage, the minority excels in terms of content and consistently delivers high-quality submissions.

Speaking on Asaasepa FM, Afenyo-Markin stated, “Seeing the heat from us, I think it is his own strategy of also keeping up. I don’t see it personally. I have been a majority leader before, and I wouldn’t have adopted that approach, but it is his style. I can sit here and condemn him.

I don’t need to be comfortable with it, but I also don’t give him comfort because what he is doing tells me and my caucus that we are effective. The fact that the Majority is having sleepless nights tells me that we are doing something right”.

He further boldly declared that the NDC majority cannot match them when it comes to debate on the floor of parliament.

“In the chamber, strength exists only in numbers in favour content favours us. I am saying that in the chamber, when a headcount is being conducted, they have the numbers, but when it comes to the work in parliament and sharing ideas, they cannot compete with us; they know that.

When it comes to debating, they do not come to our level”, he added.

Some netizens reacting to the video stated, “Ei this one dier the Minority say, ‘we might be few, but we worry you pass your own thoughts.”

If the Majority can’t sleep, then the debate bed is too hot. Quality over quantity has entered Parliament proper”.

“In a system where 2 sides must agree on almost everything before they can proceed, the one who seeks to antagonise will ALWAYS seem to be more powerful. Also, to be fair to the Majority, their hard hitters are ministers and virtually absent. But let the focus be NATION BUILDING”, another netizen added.

One netizen added, “Sleepless nights shouldn’t come from political rivalry but from working to solve real problems. Ghanaians don’t care about who is outshining who; they want accountability, solutions, and results, not soundbites”.

Another X user noted that the minority work is to keep the government on its toes, but the NPP minority keeps throwing tantrums. The X user stated, “That’s the work of the minority, to keep the majority on their toes, but Afenyo and his cohorts are only good at throwing tantrums”.

Meanwhile, Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin has recounted his time as Minority Leader and challenged claims that he behaved the same way as the current Minority Leader, Afenyo-Markin.

According to Speaker Bagbin, the actions taken by Afenyo-Markin were not influenced by him, as he did not engage in the same behaviour that the Minority Leader is currently displaying.

He asserted that Afenyo-Markin claims he took inspiration from him, but he never raised his voice, arguing that his records are there for people to read.

He, however, admitted that he lost his composure on only one occasion when Speaker Peter Ala Adjetey made a personal attack against him.

Speaking in a video shared on X, Alban Bagbin stated, “What the Minority Leader is doing now is not what I did. He has referred to you people several times, saying he took inspiration from my record. Please go and read my record. I never raised my voice or tried to show grandeur on the floor. No!”

In another disturbing news, the Ghana Police Service has confirmed the arrest of Isaac Adonteng, a 54-year-old, following the tragic death of his 13-year-old daughter, Celestine Adonteng, at Kokrobite.

A statement issued by the Weija Divisional Police command indicated that preliminary investigations show that the suspect, Isaac Adonteng, allegedly physically assaulted his deceased daughter with a cane, a metal pipe, and other objects after accusing her of taking food meant for her younger sibling.

The police statement further revealed that despite the child suffering multiple injuries, he reportedly failed to seek medical attention and confined her in a room, where she was later found unconscious.

She was rushed to the Police Hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival.

The statement added that the Police have recovered a cutlass and a metal pipe believed to have been used in the assault.

Meanwhile, it was earlier reported that the incident happened at Kokrobite in the Ga South Municipality of the Greater Accra Region.

Reports suggest the 13-year-old girl was allegedly beaten to death by her parents, who accused her of eating her younger brother’s food.

The 13-year-old victim has been identified as Celestine and was assaulted by her father, Issah Mohammed, and her stepmother, Yaa Grace.

According to reports, Yaa Grace, the stepmother, informed him of the alleged incident which led to the alleged beating.

Eyewitnesses revealed Issah used a cane, shovel, and cutlass to beat the young girl, resulting in severe internal injuries and locked her in a separate room without food or water, leading to her death the next day.

Reports suggest neighbours reported the suspicious incident to the police, resulting in the couple’s arrest.

Celestine’s biological mother’s relative, Justina Acquah, has revealed that Issah has a long history of abuse.

The body of the victim has been deposited at the Police Hospital for autopsy.

Afenyo-Markin highlighted that while the majority holds the numerical advantage, the minority excels in terms of content and consistently delivers high-quality submissions.

According to Afenyo-Markin, the majority caucus having sleepless nights tells him that his caucus is doing something right.

The minority leader asserted that he might not like the way the majority leader is doing things, but that is his method that he has adopted.

Speaking on Asaasepa FM, Afenyo-Markin stated, “Seeing the heat from us, I think it is his own strategy of also keeping up. I don’t see it personally. I have been a majority leader before, and I wouldn’t have adopted that approach, but it is his style. I can sit here and condemn him.

I don’t need to be comfortable with it, but I also don’t give him comfort because what he is doing tells me and my caucus that we are effective. The fact that the Majority is having sleepless nights tells me that we are doing something right”.

“In the chamber, strength exists only in numbers in favour content favours us. I am saying that in the chamber, when a headcount is being conducted, they have the numbers, but when it comes to the work in parliament and sharing ideas, they cannot compete with us; they know that.

When it comes to debating, they do not come to our level”, he added.

Family of murdered 10-year-old Janet Ntiamoah Owusu demands Justice

The family of 10-year-old Janet Ntiamoah Owusu are demanding Justice following their daughter’s sudden disappearance and later found dead.

The slain 10-year-old Janet Ntiamoah Owusu’s family is seeking justice and urging authorities to expedite investigations after the tragic loss of their daughter.

The State News in a post on X stated, “Janet was last seen on September 6, 2025, at Gbetsile near Pawpaw House in the Greater Accra Region. She was reported missing shortly afterwards.

Recently, her body was found, sparking public concern and renewed calls for a thorough inquiry.

The heartbreaking development has left her community, friends, and schoolmates in deep shock as security agencies work to determine what happened and ensure those responsible are held accountable”.

In related news, the Ghana Police Service has confirmed the arrest of Isaac Adonteng, a 54-year-old, following the tragic death of his 13-year-old daughter, Celestine Adonteng, at Kokrobite.

A statement issued by the Weija Divisional Police command indicated that preliminary investigations show that the suspect, Isaac Adonteng, allegedly physically assaulted his deceased daughter with a cane, a metal pipe, and other objects after accusing her of taking food meant for her younger sibling.

The police statement further revealed that despite the child suffering multiple injuries, he reportedly failed to seek medical attention and confined her in a room, where she was later found unconscious.

She was rushed to the Police Hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival.

The statement added that the Police have recovered a cutlass and a metal pipe believed to have been used in the assault.

Meanwhile, it was earlier reported that the incident happened at Kokrobite in the Ga South Municipality of the Greater Accra Region.

Reports suggest the 13-year-old girl was allegedly beaten to death by her parents, who accused her of eating her younger brother’s food.

The 13-year-old victim has been identified as Celestine and was assaulted by her father, Issah Mohammed, and her stepmother, Yaa Grace.

According to reports, Yaa Grace, the stepmother, informed him of the alleged incident which led to the alleged beating.

Eyewitnesses revealed Issah used a cane, shovel, and cutlass to beat the young girl, resulting in severe internal injuries and locked her in a separate room without food or water, leading to her death the next day.

Reports suggest neighbours reported the suspicious incident to the police, resulting in the couple’s arrest.

Celestine’s biological mother’s relative, Justina Acquah, has revealed that Issah has a long history of abuse.

The body of the victim has been deposited at the Police Hospital for autopsy.
