‘Wontumi is seriously sick; let nobody lie to you’ – Abronye reveals

Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC, the Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has alleged that the party’s former Ashanti Regional Chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, is unwell in prison.

According to Abronye, Chairman Wontumi is seriously sick in prison, but the party’s leadership is reluctant to disclose his health condition to supporters.

He alleged that the NPP party leadership is deliberately withholding information about Chairman Wontumi’s alleged ill health to prevent supporters from becoming worried about his condition.

Abronye further claimed that Wontumi is suffering in prison because of what he described as false allegations against him.

Speaking on his Ohia TV show, excerpts of which have been shared on social media, Abronye stated, “I am telling you today that Chairman Wontumi is sick. If anybody tells you that he is fine, that is a lie. NPP followers and supporters, if any of the party’s leaders tells you that he is well, it is a lie. Chairman Wontumi is sick.

They don’t want to say it because supporters will get worried, so don’t let anybody lie to you. Even if the prison authorities say he is fine, it is a lie. He is suffering because of lies that were fabricated against him”, he stated.

However, Ken Kuranchie, a Private legal practitioner who claims to be a longtime friend of Chairman Wontumi, has provided an update on his condition at the Nsawam Prison.

The private legal practitioner revealed that Wontumi looks absolutely well, strong, and clean.

According to Ken Kuranchie, he is pleased that Wontumi looks well despite being in custody.

Dressed in a white shirt and black trousers, Wontumi appeared cheerful as he exchanged pleasantries with his counsel and supporters who had gathered at the court to show solidarity.

Speaking to Citi News after the proceedings, Ken Kuranchie expressed excitement about Wontumi’s condition, saying, “He looks well, strong and clean. When you are in prison, that is the best thing you can hope for. He looks absolutely well. I am glad I saw him”.

His comments follow a conversation lasting more than 30 minutes with Wontumi before the EXIM Bank case was called in court.

Meanwhile, Dr Justice Srem-Sai, the Deputy Attorney-General, has told the Accra High Court that Chairman Wontumi, is a high flight risk and should not be granted bail.

According to Srem-Sai, Wontumi’s own lawyers have shown he is a flight risk.

He further argued that the appellant’s conduct during the trial could not, on its own, serve as a reliable basis for determining whether he would abscond if granted bail.

The Deputy AG told the court that the prosecution has exhibited a video recording in which Wontumi’s own lawyer was seen on television describing his client as unruly.

The Deputy AG is quoted to have said, “It is a fact, and the affidavit in support in paragraph 15 has confirmed that the prisoner is standing trial in two other criminal courts, each of those trials staring the prisoner in the face with substantial prison terms which, as the law prescribes, would be served consecutively instead of concurrently”.

“We have also deposed and exhibited a video recording, and in that video recording, counsel for the accused was seen on television telling the public that his client, that is the prisoner, is unruly and that but for his exceptional personal management skill, the prisoner at the time of arrest would have run his car over law enforcement agents to avoid arrest,” he submitted.

“This is not the prosecution’s account of the prisoner’s character. It is the prisoner’s own lawyer giving a vivid account of what transpired on the day of arrest,” the Deputy AG said.

“That was even when nothing was at stake. Not even one day of prison sentence. When the accused person was absolutely innocent and had not been proven guilty. So my lady can imagine today when he is facing a 20-year jail term and has been declared guilty,” Dr Srem-Sai argued.

However, Atta Akyea in court on Thursday argued that the circumstances of the case warranted the grant of bail pending appeal.

He argued that temporary release would be essential to enable him to prepare his appeal and participate effectively in two other criminal cases Wontumi is facing.

According to Atta Akyea, Wontumi was not a flight risk, citing his compliance with previous bail conditions before his conviction, asking the court to consider the 19 grounds of appeal outlined in the notice of appeal.

Meanwhile, Justice Audrey Kocuvie-Tay, a High Court Judge, has set November 4, 2026, to deliver a ruling on a bail application filed by Bernard Antwi Bosiako, known as Chairman Wontumi, pending appeal.

‘I fully support anyone who is engaged in galamsey’ – NDC Fomena chairman

Ibrahim Atipilleh, the newly elected Fomena Constituency Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Ashanti Region, has pledged his support for individuals engaged in illegal mining, popularly known as galamsey, in the constituency.

According to the NDC Fomena chairman, galamsey remains the primary source of livelihood for many residents in the area, arguing that it is necessary for him, as constituency chairman, to support those involved in galamsey.

Speaking to the media after his election during the recently concluded NDC constituency executive elections, Ibrahim Atipilleh stated, “I know that in Fomena, the only work we do here is galamsey, so I am standing firmly behind anybody who wants to engage in galamsey in this area. I will allow you to do it the right way, but if you are not doing it the right way, I won’t allow you to do it”.

He further expressed his willingness to collaborate with his predecessor, Eric Opoku, to promote unity and development within the party.

In related news, Sammy Gyamfi, CEO of the Ghana Gold Board, has clarified his earlier comment, which he disclosed has been mischievously cut by members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

According to Sammy Gyamfi, the widely circulated video in circulation leaves out the important details of his explanation of what the government is willing to do to support the formalisation of unlicensed artisanal and small-scale miners (ASMs).

Sammy Gyamfi maintain thst formalising unlicensed artisanal and small-scale miners (ASMs) ‘galamseyers’ is a better approach to fighting illegal mining than chasing them with soldiers.

He argued that the Responsible Cooperative Mining and Skills Development Programme (rCOMSDEP) is an ASM formalisation initiative aimed at transforming such unlicensed ASMs into licensed and responsible ASMs to promote sustainability in the sector.

He argued that the Goldbod holds the view that properly organised small-scale mining offers one of the clearest pathways from mineral ownership in law to indigenous ownership in practice.

His comment follows an earlier cut video where he shockingly stated that miners can now mine with or without a licence in Ghana.

According to Sammy Gyamfi, miners can now mine with or without a licence provided they are not mining in water bodies, forest reserves, or close to a road.

In a video shared on X, Sammy Gyamfi disclosed that all District Chief Executives (DCEs) had been tasked with compiling lists of areas where mining activities were currently taking place.

Sammy Gyamfi explained that the Mahama government’s approach is to allow mining in areas outside the restricted locations, regardless of whether the operators held licences.

Speaking at an event, Sammy Gyamfi, in a video shared on X, stated, “As we speak, all DCEs have been tasked to make a list of areas where miners are working. Places miners are working: once it is not a water body, it is not a forest reserve, or a roadside; whether the person has a license or not, the government says that person should be allowed to mine”.

Read Sammy Gyamfi’s full statement below:

“1. There are three (3) forms of unlicensed artisanal and small-scale mining operations that are irredeemably wrong and can neither be tolerated nor reformed.

* Mining that impacts water bodies

* Mining in forest reserves

* Mining in obscene places in communities such as road sides, school lands, bedrooms etc. that pose dangers to society and public health

2. Once artisanal and small-scale miners (ASMs) are not mining in a forest reserve, a water body or an obscene place that negatively impacts the environment, that mineralised area, even if unlicensed, meets the eligibility requirement of FORMALIZATION and can be declared as fit for cooperative mining under the government’s “Responsible Cooperative Mining and Skills Development Programme (rCOMSDEP). I maintain that formalising such unlicensed ASMs is a better approach than chasing them with soldiers. The rCOMSDEP is an ASM formalisation initiative aimed at transforming such unlicensed ASMs into licensed and responsible ASMs to promote sustainability in the sector.

3. The small portion of the video that has been mischievously cut and is being circulated leaves out important details of my explanation of what government is willing to do to support the formalisation of such unlicensed ASMs to ensure that they have the appropriate legal documentation, certifications, permits and training for sustainable small-scale mining.

4. ASM formalisation and traceability is the new paradigm shift of Ghana’s quest towards sustainability in the ASM sector. The provision of formalisation, training and financing support for ASMs whose activities do not negatively impact water bodies, forest reserves or obscene places in our communities to bring them into the formal and responsible mining economy, is a crucial imperative for the fight against irresponsible mining and our national quest to promote sustainability in the mining sector.

5. As I noted in my keynote address at the just-ended Mining in Motion summit on “ASM Formalisation; the new paradigm”;

“…….regulation must be firm, but also practical, inclusive and commercially sound. Reform will endure only when compliance becomes a pathway to opportunity rather than hardships. Mining regulations must therefore do more than police miners; they must formalise, build capacities and create opportunities for young Africans in the mining and trading ecosystem. I believe that with proper formalisation, financing support and training, Artisanal and Small-scale mining can support livelihoods, generate foreign exchange, strengthen reserves, grow indigenous enterprise and advance national development sustainably.”

“We at the GoldBod hold the view that properly organised small-scale mining offers one of the clearest pathways from mineral ownership in law to indigenous ownership in practice. Supported by modern technology and sound engineering, the sector can optimise recovery rates, reduce waste, improve safety, preserve the environment and create productive opportunities for young Africans.”

“This is why the GoldBod will next year roll out an ASM Formalisation and Financing Support Program (FFSP), in close collaboration with the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources, the University of Mines and Technology and Rand Refinery, with the aim of sustainably ramping up gold production, mineral revenue and job creation, while reducing operational costs and environmental risks.”

TRAGIC – Woman dies after electric sex toy malfunctions during use

A 23-year-old woman has reportedly died after an electric shock involving a sex toy she was allegedly using, according to a report by Kasapa News.

The Kasapa News report indicated that neighbours heard a loud explosion coming from the unidentified woman’s room and rushed to investigate.

The neighbours, upon reaching her room, reportedly found her in a critical condition, with the electrically powered device allegedly still plugged into a wall socket.

According to the account, the woman was not in a romantic relationship and had reportedly used sex toys before deciding to try an electric vibrator for the first time.

Her neighbours allegedly heard sounds from her room before an explosion prompted them to check on her.

They reportedly discovered her lying in a pool of blood, with injuries said to be around her genital area.

She was subsequently taken to a hospital for treatment but is said to have died two days later.

The circumstances surrounding the reported incident remain unclear, and the cause of the woman’s death has not been independently confirmed.

In related news, Yudah Brown, lawyer and content creator of TheLawgh on TikTok and X, has said the use of sex toys, blowjobs and head could land an individual 25-year jail term in Ghana.

According to the lawyer, Section 104 of ACT 29 of Ghana’s laws criminalised the use of sex toys, blowjobs and head.

He noted that the laws in Ghana only recognised the natural form of penetration.

Speaking in a viral short video, Yudah Brown detailed, “Using toys for sexual intercourse in Ghana is an offence. Anyone who gives head, head of departments, called blow jobs, also commits an offence according to section 104 of the criminal anyone who does this will be jailed for 25 years maximum.

The only permitted act is the natural form of penetration, the male gbola to the female kpekus”.

He further added, “As funny as this may sound, unnatural canal knowledge is an offence, directing the penile organ to another hole, the penile organ to the mouth or the mouth to a female organ is an offence and you will be jailed for not less than five years and not more than 25 years”.

The lawyer further cited a Supreme Court case: “The Supreme Court in the case of Dr Prince Obiri versus the Attorney General expressly stated that sexual intercourse with a person or animal other than the penetration from the male’s to the female organ is unnatural and has been criminalised by section 104 of ACT 29.

“They are just not good for your health”, he boldly reiterated.

The case cited by Yudah Brown in his short video highlighted the Supreme Court of Ghana on 24 July dismissing a case which had been brought by Dr Obiri-Korang in 2021, challenging section 104(1)(b) of the Criminal Offences Act 1960, which criminalises ‘unnatural carnal knowledge’.

Dr Korang claimed that the provision violates the rights to liberty, non-discrimination and privacy as guaranteed under the Constitution.

However, the Apex Court dismissed the case on all grounds, holding that section 104(1)(b) is constitutional. The Court held that the right to privacy can be compromised for the prevention of a crime.

The Supreme Court also held that, as the provision also applies to ‘unnatural’ conduct between a man and a woman, not just to the LGBT community, it is not discriminatory.

Also, the court rejected the submission that the provision breached the right to liberty, holding that this right applies solely to free movement within a state, not personal decisions or autonomy.

The Apex Court placed a strong importance on the particular traditions, values and morals of Ghanaian society, which, it held, reject homosexuality.

The Court therefore highlighted that foreign developments and legal philosophy on this issue cannot be used to legalise same-sex sexual conduct, and to override Parliament and the moral structure of Ghanaian society.

‘Kwame Dzokoto died from NDC neglect’ – Stephen Atubiga says; leaks private chat

Stephen Atubiga, the Founder and Leader of the National Liberation Congress (NLC) and a former NDC member, has alleged that the late actor and politician Kwame Dzokoto died from NDC neglect.

According to Stephen Atubiga, political neglect after victory can kill one quickly if they are not strong.

He explained that the late Kwame Dzokoto had complained that he was still waiting to be assigned a role since the party won power.

In a Facebook post, Stephen Atubiga stated, “The late Kwame Dzokoto died from NDC neglect after victory. As a victim speaking from a lot of experience, political neglect after victory can kill you quickly if you are not strong.

It starts with heart problems, leading to other complications due to pain and frustration. Keeping the pain of party neglect inside has killed many politicians.

My health has never been the same after the 2012 victory neglect to date.

Some few months ago, not being able to get JDM on the phone to inform him about my state of health and conditions, I decided to send him an emergency message through one of his special aides. To inform JDM, I am not doing well health-wise.To try outside Ghana.

I don’t know if he has been informed or not to date. But as a man, you move on till I meet him personally.

Political betrayal, neglect pain, is kept in you. You don’t share it with the public. You must die with it as a good politician to show loyalty to the party for others to do the same.

Below is evidence of my conversation with the late Kwame Jokoto when I realised that NDC neglect after victory was affecting his health”.

His comment follows, Kwame Dzokoto, a veteran Ghanaian Actor and popular TV personality, has reportedly died.

According to reports, Kwame Dzokoto died after collapsing during a panel discussion on Owass Radio in Tarkwa.

The information gathered disclosed that the late Kwame Dzokoto was rushed to a hospital in Tarkwa, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.

Kwame Dzokoto, a politician and actor, was well known for his role in Effiewura and Edziban TV Show.

The late politician’s death was confirmed by a close source of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

However, further details surrounding the circumstances of his death are yet to be made public.

Meanwhile, some months ago, Kwame Dzokoto recounted how First Lady Lordina Mahama intervened when he was battling health complications.

He disclosed that Lordina Mahama helped secure support from business mogul Ibrahim Mahama for his treatment abroad.

Speaking to media personality Blakk Rasta, Kwame Dzokoto stated, “I was battling with BP related to the heart and all sorts of things, but by his grace, the First Lady got to know of it, and then she pressured Ibrahim Mahama. He took me outside for the surgery and all. In fact, I am healthy and doing well”.

“I’m proud of the Mahama family. Their political side is there, but then when it comes to serving humanity, if we have about eight people who decide to take charge to help people in their philanthropic way, I think the world will be a lovely place to live,” Dzokoto noted.

‘Your people still sh!t in the bush’ – A Plus BLASTS Asiedu Nketia over his presidential ambition

Kwame A Plus, Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central, has criticised National Democratic Congress (NDC) National Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketia over his reported presidential ambition.

A Plus questioned Asiedu Nketia’s long involvement in politics, arguing that despite the natural resources in his region, many communities continue to grapple with underdevelopment and poor living conditions.

In his remarks, the Gomoa Central MP pointed to what he described as persistent sanitation challenges, poverty and a lack of basic amenities, saying some residents still resort to open defecation while children go to bed hungry.

He argued that the presidency is a solemn responsibility that demands vision, leadership, accountability, and measurable results.

The Gomoa Central MP challenged Asiedu Nketiah to explain why his home region continues to struggle with underdevelopment despite its abundance of natural resources.

He further questioned whether Ghanaians should elect another elderly president, highlighting that Asiedu Nketiah would be 72 by the time he was inaugurated in 2029 if he won the presidency.

In a strongly worded statement on Facebook, Kwame A Plus stated, “You were in politics long before all this Dubai business began. Your own region, blessed with gold, timber, fertile soil, and enormous natural resources, continues to struggle with underdevelopment. Communities lack basic sanitation, people still sh!t in the bush, and children go to bed hungry.

And now you want to become what? President of Ghana?

We came out of a similar situation less than two years ago, after electing a 72-year-old “painti ma mentɔ” man who eventually left office at 80. Now, you are 69. By the time you are inaugurated in 2029, you will be 72! And if you are President for two terms like Okukuseku, you’ll leave office at 80. Ah! What did we do to deserve this? Why? Is it a curse or what?

What guarantees do Ghanaians have that, after your Akufo Addo lookalike presidency, your family will not also become fugitives who desperately attempt to renounce their Ghanaian citizenship, like Ken Ofori-Atta?

The presidency is not a retirement package or a reward for spending decades in politics engaging in sarcasm. It is a solemn responsibility that demands vision, leadership, accountability, and measurable results.

You and your fanfoolers can be angry and say things about Gomoa. F*ck off. I’ve been in office for less than two years but have achieved more than this man. These days, I’ve adopted a certain lifestyle: when I say things you don’t like, and you get angry, I say even more. I love getting under your skin, and your insults give me orgasm!

You may now proceed to vent your frustrations in the comments section while I sit back, relax, and play with my hairy balls”.

A Plus comment follows the incumbent National Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, not picking up nomination forms to contest the party’s upcoming national executive elections.

Mahdi Gibril, the NDC Director of Elections and IT, disclosed that Asiedu Nketiah, popularly known as “General Mosquito”, had not picked forms by the close of nominations and had not indicated an intention to contest.

“These are those I know that did not pick. In any case, they did not indicate to us that they will pick,” Mr Gibril said.

Although Asiedu Nketia has not formally declared his presidential bid, the speculation comes amid rumours he intends to contest the NDC’s presidential primary ahead of the 2028 general elections.

The NDC National Chairman on numerous occasions refused to rule out contesting for the flagbearership position of his party.

According to Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, he would make his intentions known when the time was right, adding that his political options remain wide open.

He argued that ambition was an essential part of politics, adding that politicians without ambition are in the wrong profession.

Speaking on JoyNews’ PM Express on Tuesday, August 4, 2026, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah stated, “Ambition is a very useful thing in politics. If you are a politician and you have no ambition, you are in the wrong profession”.

“I have told you how I would clearly declare it when the time is up for me to do so,” he said.

“How do you hide pregnancy? If you hide your intention to contest for a position, how do you campaign?” he asked.

When directly asked by the host whether he personally aspired to become President, the NDC Chairman stated, “Is the time up? That is the question I’m asking you. Wait till my time is up, and then I will let you know”.

Dr Bossman Asare was smart to resign as Deputy EC chair – Prof Charles Marfo explains

Prof Charles Marfo, a former Provost of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), has said Dr Bossman Asare’s resignation from the Electoral Commission(EC) Deputy Chairperson position was a smart decision.

According to the Professor, Dr Bossman Asare’s resignation was a sensible decision.

He disclosed that Dr Bossman Asare would have faced sustained pressure had he remained in office.

Prof Charles Marfo argued that Dr Bossman Asare made the right move by stepping down, highlighting that his continued stay at the Electoral Commission would have attracted persistent criticism and scrutiny.

Speaking on Oyerepa TV, Prof Marfo stated, “He did well because he would not have known peace. We would have really worried him, whether there was a deal or whatever; he was smart to resign and might have even enjoyed some resignation packages”.

“I think it was also a realisation that he made a mistake in even accepting the position,” he added.

It will be recalled that Felix Kwakye Ofosu, the Government Spokesperson, earlier disclosed that Deputy Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC) in charge of Corporate Affairs, Dr Bossman Asare, has resigned.

According to Kwakye Ofosu, effective July 31, 2026, Dr Bossman Asare would no longer be the Deputy Chairperson of the Electoral Commission.

The Government Spokesperson made the announcement when he addressed the Government Accountability Series on Monday, June 15.

Felix Kwakye Ofosu further disclosed that Bossman Asare, in his resignation letter, stated that he is stepping down to return to academia and continue his work at the University of Ghana.

He also disclosed that EC’s Deputy Chairperson in charge of Operations, Samuel Tettey, has retired from his position.

In related news, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, the Government Spokesperson, has disclosed that Deputy Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC) in charge of Corporate Affairs, Dr Bossman Asare, resigned of his own volition.

Kwakye Ofosu argued that the resignation was entirely voluntary and was carried out in accordance with established procedures.

According to Kwakye Ofosu, Dr Bossman’s resignation was not influenced by political pressure.

Speaking on Citi FM on June 15, 2026, Kwakye Ofosu stated, “First of all, there is no basis for giving any assurance because nothing of that sort has happened. The process for removing a member of the Commission is clearly spelt out by law.

“Dr Bossman Asare himself, of his own volition, wrote to the President indicating his desire to leave at the appointed date, and that is what happened,” he stated.

Six BNI officers sacked, one demoted after internal probe

Reports gathered disclosed that six officers of the Bureau of National Intelligence (BNI) have reportedly been dismissed, while another has been demoted.

The development follows investigations into allegations of misconduct involving suspects held in the agency’s custody.

Reports by 3News detailed that the affected officers were implicated in an illegal arrangement through which detained suspects allegedly gained access to mobile phones and other unauthorised services in exchange for money.

According to the report, the scandal came to light following a security breach on February 16, 2026, when an officer during routine inspections at one of the detention facilities caught a suspect making a phone call.

The discovery triggered an internal probe after concerns emerged over how prohibited items had found their way into the premises.

During searches of two holding facilities, investigators reportedly found at least six mobile phones, phone accessories and a screwdriver, which was deemed a potential security threat.

The investigation subsequently uncovered suspected links between some officers of the Bureau of National Intelligence (BNI) and individuals held in custody.

According to the report, a telephone number was found written on the reverse side of a playing card used by detainees. Investigators traced the number to a BNI officer, prompting further scrutiny of possible unauthorised dealings between personnel and suspects.

Further inquiries allegedly revealed that some officers had been facilitating the provision of mobile phones and other prohibited services to detainees in exchange for money.

Investigators also found that food was being delivered to certain suspects through arrangements involving their relatives and some BNI officers, bypassing the agency’s established procedures.

The food deliveries reportedly provided a channel through which mobile phones and accessories were smuggled into the facilities, enabling detainees to maintain contact with people outside.

The findings led to disciplinary action against eight BNI officers. At the end of the process, six were dismissed, one was demoted, while the remaining officer was cleared of any wrongdoing.

Meanwhile, sources cited by 3News say the agency has moved to strengthen security and prevent a recurrence of similar incidents.

The new measures reportedly include polygraph tests for personnel, closer supervision and stricter disciplinary controls to improve accountability and ensure officers comply with internal regulations.

Former NDA CEO, three others convicted over procurement breaches

Former NDA CEO, three others convicted over procurement breaches

A Tamale High Court, presided over by Justice Eric Ansah Ankomah, has convicted four individuals, including former National Development Authority (NDA) Chief Executive Officer Sumaila Abdul Rahman, for breaching procurement procedures in a case prosecuted by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP).

The other convicts are Stephen Yir-Eru Engmen, a former Deputy Chief Executive in charge of Operations at the Northern Development Authority; Patrick Seidu, a former Deputy Chief Executive in charge of Finance and Administration at the authority; and Andrew Kuundaari, Chief Executive Officer of private firm A&QS Consortium Limited.

The four were found guilty on seven of the 11 counts brought against them on Friday, October 23, 2026.

The court fined each convict 1,000 penalty units for every count on which they were convicted. Failure to pay the fines will attract a four-year prison sentence on each count, with the sentences to run concurrently.

However, the Tamale High Court acquitted the accused persons of the corruption-related charges while finding them guilty of offences relating to procurement breaches.

Each of the four convicts was fined 1,000 penalty units for every count on which they were convicted, with the fines imposed on each individual to run concurrently.

The court, in delivering its decision, said it had considered the mitigating circumstances presented by the defence lawyers and decided to impose fines instead of immediate prison sentences.

The court explained that the convicts had not benefited financially from their actions, noting that the OSP had intervened promptly to halt the payment and prevent a financial loss to the state.

It also considered the advanced ages of two of the convicts, identified in the proceedings as A1 and A4.

Under the sentence, A1 was fined 1,000 penalty units each on counts one and two. Failure to pay the fines will result in four years’ imprisonment with hard labour on each count, with the sentences to run concurrently.

A2 received fines of 1,000 penalty units each on counts one, four, five and six. If the fines are not paid, the individual will face four years’ imprisonment with hard labour on each count, with the sentences running concurrently.

A3 was fined 1,000 penalty units each on counts one and eight. Failure to pay will attract four years’ imprisonment with hard labour on each count, with the sentences to run concurrently.

Similarly, A4 was fined 1,000 penalty units each on counts one and ten. Non-payment will result in four years’ imprisonment with hard labour on each count, with the sentences also running concurrently.

The ruling means the four individuals will avoid immediate imprisonment if they pay their respective fines. Custodial sentences will apply only if they fail to meet the court’s financial penalties.

Meanwhile, the OSP has shared some details following the conviction of accused persons in the Republic v. Sumaila Abdul-Rahman; Stephen Yir-Eru Engmen; Patrick Seidu; and Andrew Kuundaari.

The OSP in an update stated, “On 23 October 2026, a High Court in Tamale convicted Sumaila Abdul-Rahman (former Chief Executive of Northern Development Authority); Stephen Yir-Eru Engmen (former Deputy Chief Executive in charge of Operations of Northern Development Authority); Patrick Seidu (former Deputy Chief Executive in charge of Finance and Administration of Northern Development Authority); and Andrew Kuundaari (the Chief Executive of A&QS Consortium Limited, a private entity) of seven out of eleven counts of corruption and corruption-related offences comprising conspiracy to directly or indirectly influence the procurement process to obtain an unfair advantage in the award of a procurement contract, directly or indirectly influencing the procurement process to obtain an unfair advantage in the award of a procurement contract, corruption by a public officer, and corruption of a public officer in respect of procurement contracts of Northern Development Authority under the Infrasctructure for Poverty Eradication Programme (IPEP) of the Government of Ghana.

The prosecution was initiated and conducted by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) after it investigations following a complaint filed by a legal practitioner, Martin Kpebu.

The Court declined to impose custodial sentences on the convicts on the ground that the convicts are of advanced age and that the OSP had acted swiftly to prevent unlawful payments under the contract, and so no loss was caused to the Republic. The Court imposed 1,000 penalty units for each count.

The OSP affirms its commitment to protecting the public purse and holding officials in the public sector and their collaborators in the private sector accountable”.

Citizen chases Police for answers over delay in prosecuting NDC’s Ashie-Moore over alleged $800,000 theft

Citizen chases Police for answers over delay in prosecuting NDC’s Ashie-Moore over alleged $800,000 theft

A Ghanaian citizen, P.K. Sarpong, is chasing the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) and the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) to explain the delay in prosecuting the Greater Accra Regional Chairman of the NDC, Emmanuel Nii Ashie-Moore, over an alleged theft involving a Singaporean national.

P.K. Sarpong, in a statement addressed to the IGP and the CID Director-General, COP Lydia Yaako Donkor, noted that the Office of the Attorney-General had advised the police to charge Moore with stealing, but there had been no visible progress towards his prosecution.

The Ghanaian citizen questioned why the directive had not resulted in the suspect being brought before a court.

The dispute stems from claims by Singaporean businessman Toh You Kang, who alleges that he paid Emmanuel Nii Ashie-Moore US$800,000 in exchange for assistance in securing contracts with the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) to supply electric cables.

In a case brought before the High Court in 2025, Kang accused the Greater Accra NDC Regional Chairman of making representations that he could facilitate the contracts. He further alleged that his rights were violated during the dispute, citing his reported detention and the removal of his personal belongings.

Ashie-Moore has rejected the accusations. Through his lawyer, Gideon Tettey Tetteh, he denied receiving the US$800,000 and maintained that the claims against him were unfounded. His legal representatives, in turn, accused Kang of defrauding Ashie-Moore and his business associates.

According to the Ghanaian citizen, the Attorney-General’s Department reviewed the case docket, numbered R.O. No. 204/2025, and allegedly found sufficient evidence to support a charge of stealing against Ashie-Moore, questioning the IGP and CID to explain the delay in prosecuting the NDC chairman.

Read his full statement below:

“The Inspector-General of Police (IGP)

Ghana Police Service Headquarters, Cantonments, Accra

The Director-General, Criminal Investigation Department (CID)

COP Faustina Agyeiwaa Kodua Yaako Donkor

CID Headquarters, P.O. Box 505, Accra

SUBJECT: INQUIRY AND DEMAND FOR ACTION REGARDING THE FAILURE TO PROSECUTE EMMANUEL NII ASHIE MOORE DESPITE THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL’S DIRECTIVE

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to formally inquire about and express grave concern regarding the delay in the criminal prosecution of Emmanuel Nii Ashie Moore (1st Suspect) in connection with the criminal complaint filed against him by Toh You Kang, a Singaporean national.

According to official records and correspondence from the Office of the Attorney-General and Ministry of Justice (Ref: GR/PD/161/26, dated 16th March 2026), signed by Senior State Attorney Nana Ama A. Prempeh, a thorough review of the case docket (R.O. No. 204/2025) established sufficient evidence to support a charge of stealing against Emmanuel Nii Ashie Moore pursuant to Section 124 of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29).

Furthermore, on 8th April 2026, the Legal/Registry unit of the CID Headquarters forwarded this advice (Ref: CID/AR.18/2026/89) to the Assistant Commissioner of the Special Investigations Unit (SIU) for strict compliance and execution.

Key Investigative Findings & Legal Advice Summary:

1. Unlawful Detention and Seizure of Property: The complainant, Toh You Kang, arrived in Ghana on 28th May 2025 for business discussions. Emmanuel Nii Ashie Moore confiscated the complainant’s Singaporean passport at Kotoka International Airport under the guise of facilitating VIP clearance and subsequently orchestrated the complainant’s detention at the Accra Central Police Station.

2. Removal of Personal Belongings:

While the complainant was in police custody, CCTV footage and records from Fiesta Residences, Cantonments, established that Emmanuel Nii Ashie Moore checked the complainant out of his apartment/hotel room without authorisation and removed his personal belongings.

1. Stolen Items: The missing personal effects include a Singaporean passport, USD 10,000 in cash, designer luggage (Louis Vuitton duffle bag, Bugatti luggage), credit/debit cards, four mobile phones, an iPad, vehicle and house keys, clothing, and essential medication.

2. Attorney-General’s Explicit Advice: The Office of the Attorney-General explicitly advised the Police Service to obtain a charge statement for stealing from Emmanuel Nii Ashie Moore and proceed with prosecution, noting that the SIU case docket had been retained for prosecution.

Outstanding Questions and Request for Clarification:

Despite the unambiguous directive from the Attorney-General’s Department issued in March 2026, there appears to be no visible progress in arraigning Emmanuel Nii Ashie Moore before a court of competent jurisdiction. In light of the above, I respectfully request responses to the following:

1. Why has the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) not formally charged and prosecuted Emmanuel Nii Ashie Moore as instructed by the Attorney-General?

2. What specific administrative or procedural bottlenecks have delayed compliance with the AG’s advice dated 16th March 2026?

3. What steps are being taken by the Ghana Police Service to ensure the recovery of the complainant’s stolen property and cash?

The public and international business community rely on the Ghana Police Service to uphold the rule of law without fear, favour, or undue delay. I trust you will treat this matter with the urgency and seriousness it demands.

I look forward to your prompt response and action.

P.K.Sarpong, Whispers from the Corridors of the Thinking Place.

‘I forgive you for trying to destroy my political career’ – Koku Anyidoho to Asiedu Nketia

Koku Anyidoho, a former Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has told Johnson Asiedu Nketia he forgives him for deliberately seeking to destroy his political career.

The former Deputy General Secretary wished his former boss, Johnson Kwadwo Asiedu-Nketiah, the best of luck as he exits the NDC Headquarters after 21 years of service.

Koku Anyidoho made this known in reaction to Johnson Asiedu Nketiah’s decision not to seek re-election as party National Chairman.

According to Koku Anyidoho, Asiedu Nketia’s 21-year era at the NDC headquarters is coming to an end.

Koku Anyidoho, in a post on X, reminisced about how Asiedu Nketia was elected in 2005 to replace the then-embattled General Secretary, Dr Nii Armah Josiah Aryeh.

He disclosed that Asiedu Nketiah has been the longest-serving General Secretary of the party and the first person to move from GS to National Chairman.

Mr Anyidoho argued that there is more that unites them than divides them, adding that he has chosen to look at the positive sides of life rather than dwell on the negatives.

He stated, “I believe that there is more that unites us than divides us. Besides, I have chosen to look at the positive sides of life rather than dwell on the negatives, and that’s why the enemies don’t see me walking around dejected, and it hurts them more.

I honestly had no issues whatsoever working with him as his Deputy, so when he got bitter that I contested him and took a unilateral decision to say he had suspended me based on his whims and caprices, I was taken aback.

As it is, that supposed suspension holds no water as I remain a member of the NDC who CANNOT be suspended nor sacked by any flimsy line of thought.”

I thank God He did not create me with a petty mind nor petty heart, so I say to Johnson Kwadwo Asiedu-Nketiah, Ayekoo.

“Onipa be ye bi ..”, I forgive you for what you sought to do to just destroy my political career by deliberately provoking me to get angry and say things that would have been haunting me today. Ultimately, you wanted me to get angry and say I have resigned from the NDC, but because I was your Deputy and know your modus operandi, I did not fall for your bait, and I have said consistently that I remain a bona fide member of the NDC.

I have moved on in life and wish you well as you also move on in life”.

“A 21-year era is coming to an end at the NDC HQ.

In 2005, @ Koforidua, we elected him as General Secretary to replace the then embattled General Secretary, Dr Nii Armah Josiah Aryeh (may his soul RIP).

He has been the longest-serving General Secretary and the first person to move from GS to National Chairman.

Of course, I served as his Deputy and the first & only Deputy to have contested him as a boss.

He knows, and most people know, I contested because he had assured me that he would not contest again. As it is, the rest is history.

He is leaving the NDC HQ and shall never again be in charge the way he has been, and that will certainly be a new terrain for him.

From the Paloma HQ to the Adabraka HQ, he created a colossus out of himself.

Of course he has intentions of moving up to become Flagbearer – we will see how that pans out for him.

I recently (about 2 months ago), met him by chance at the Kumasi airport and he shouted “The Bull” 🐂. I responded “General”; we shook hands and cracked a few jokes. We sat on the same plane; arrived in Accra; had a little chat and parted ways.

I believe that there is more that unites us than divides us. Besides, I have chosen to look at the positive sides of life rather than dwell on the negatives, and that’s why the enemies don’t see me walking around dejected, and it hurts them more.

I honestly had no issues whatsoever working with him as his Deputy, so when he got bitter that I contested him and took a unilateral decision to say he had suspended me based on his whims and caprices, I was taken aback.

As it is, that supposed suspension holds no water as I remain a member of the NDC who CANNOT be suspended nor sacked by any flimsy line of thought.

Let’s see how he climbs up the political ladder with some of the people he conspired with against me, now his ardent enemies.

We live by God’s grace to watch how the future unfolds.

He has certainly written some history politically within the NDC and Ghana.

I thank God He did not create me with a petty mind nor a petty heart, so I say to Johnson Kwadwo Asiedu-Nketiah, Ayekoo.

His comment follows, Mahdi Gibril, the NDC Director of Elections and IT, who disclosed that the party’s National Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, popularly known as “General Mosquito”, is not seeking re-election.

According to Mahdi Gibril, Asiedu Nketiah had not picked forms by the close of nominations and had not indicated an intention to contest.

Following Asiedu Nketia’s skipping the NDC chairmanship contest, speculations about his presidential ambition have reemerged.

Although Asiedu Nketia has not formally declared his presidential bid, the speculation comes amid rumours he intends to contest the NDC’s presidential primary ahead of the 2028 general elections.

The NDC National Chairman on numerous occasions refused to rule out contesting for the flagbearership position of his party.

According to Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, he would make his intentions known when the time was right, adding that his political options remain wide open.

He argued that ambition was an essential part of politics, adding that politicians without ambition are in the wrong profession.

NDC chairman Ashie-Moore in trouble as AG recommends prosecution over $800k ECG contracts

Reports disclosed that the Office of the Attorney General and Ministry of Justice has reportedly recommended that Emmanuel Nii Ashie-Moore, the Greater Accra Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), be charged with stealing in connection with a case involving a Singaporean businessman.

According to a report by thelawplatform.com, the Attorney General’s Office, recommendation followed a review of an investigation docket containing witness statements, CCTV footage from Fiesta Residences and a cybercrime analysis report.

The document identifies Ashie-Moore as the first suspect and says the evidence gathered is sufficient to support a charge of stealing under Section 124 of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29).

Thelawplatform.com, in a news article, stated, “The Office of the Attorney-General and the Ministry of Justice, by an advice, a copy of which may be read/downloaded below, has recommended the prosecution of prominent politician and former Member of Parliament, Emmanuel Nii Ashie-Moore for stealing properties belonging to one Toh You Kang, a Singaporean businessman who paid huge sums of money to Mr Ashie-Moore, who represented to him that he can assist him acquire multimillion dollar contracts with the Electricity Company of Ghana.

The Office of the Attorney-General and the Ministry of Justice, by an advice, a copy of which may be read/downloaded below, has recommended the prosecution of prominent politician and former Member of Parliament, Emmanuel Nii Ashie-Moore, for stealing properties belonging to one Toh You Kang, a Singaporean businessman who paid huge sums of money to Mr Ashie-Moore, who represented to him that he could assist him acquire multimillion dollar contracts with the Electricity Company of Ghana.

Per the advice under the hand of the learned Senior State Attorney, Nana Ama Prempeh, to the Director-General of the Crime Investigations Division of the Ghana Police Service, “Upon careful review of the entire docket, including the statements of the complainant, the 1st suspect, investigating officers, the CCTV footage from Fiesta Residences, and its accompanying cybercrime analysis report, it is my considered view that there is sufficient evidence to support a charge of stealing against the 1st suspect, Emmanuel Nii Ashie-Moore.”

In the letter of the A-G containing the advice dated the 16th day of March, 2026 wherein the A-G informs the Police of prosecution of Mr Ashie-Moore by the office of the Attorney-General directly, the recommendation for the prosecution of the former MP and current Chairman of the National Democratic Congress who is also the Chair of Prestea Sankof Gold Ltd., was contained in the following words:

“The evidence shows that the 1st suspect proceeded to Fiesta Residences, checked the complainant out of the hotel while he was in police custody, and removed the complainant’s luggage and personal belongings. The CCTV footage corroborates the removal of the luggage by the 1st suspect and other unidentified persons. Statements also reveal unexplained circumstances regarding the 1st suspect’s possession of the complainant’s medication and how the passport came to be deposited at the High Court Registry, suggesting prior control of the complainant’s property. His conduct in taking and removing the complainant’s belongings without lawful justification supports the inference of dishonest appropriation of property belonging to another, satisfying the essential elements of stealing.

From the foregoing, you are advised to charge the 1st suspect with stealing contrary to Section 124 of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29). Kindly obtain a charge statement from him and forward same to the Law Office.

Your Special Investigation Unit (SIU) duplicate case docket with R.O. No.204/2025 is hereby retained for prosecution.”

Background

The dispute stems from claims by Singaporean businessman Toh You Kang, who alleges that he paid Emmanuel Nii Ashie-Moore US$800,000 in exchange for assistance in securing contracts with the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) to supply electric cables.

In a case brought before the High Court in 2025, Kang accused the Greater Accra NDC Regional Chairman of making representations that he could facilitate the contracts. He further alleged that his rights were violated during the dispute, citing his reported detention and the removal of his personal belongings.

Ashie-Moore has rejected the accusations. Through his lawyer, Gideon Tettey Tetteh, he denied receiving the US$800,000 and maintained that the claims against him were unfounded. His legal representatives, in turn, accused Kang of defrauding Ashie-Moore and his business associates.

Formalising galamsey better approach than chasing them with soldiers – Sammy Gyamfi

Sammy Gyamfi, the Chief Executive Officer of GoldBod, has said formalising such unlicensed artisanal and small-scale miners (ASMs) ‘galamseyers’ is a better approach to fighting illegal mining than chasing them with soldiers.

According to Sammy Gyamfi, the Responsible Cooperative Mining and Skills Development Programme (rCOMSDEP) is an ASM formalisation initiative aimed at transforming such unlicensed ASMs into licensed and responsible ASMs to promote sustainability in the sector.

He argued that the Goldbod holds the view that properly organised small-scale mining offers one of the clearest pathways from mineral ownership in law to indigenous ownership in practice.

In a statement on his social media page on X, Sammy Gyamfi wrote, “1. There are three (3) forms of unlicensed artisanal and small-scale mining operations that are irredeemably wrong and can neither be tolerated nor reformed.
