Parliament gave Ghana the green light for another massive cash injection from overseas lenders Tuesday. Lawmakers signed off on 360 million dollars from the World Bank after heated debate about the country's spending habits. The money will help pay back road builders who have been waiting for their cash and give support to families struggling with poverty. Finance Committee Chairman Isaac Adongo pushed hard for members to back the deal during the vote. He told them the funds would help fix the broken economy and protect people from hardship.
This latest windfall makes up the second chunk of a huge 900 million dollar bailout package that officials requested from international money lenders. Ghana already received 300 million dollars...

Dr. Ekua Amoakoh from the NPP communication team has slammed the current government for breaking tax promises.

The government removed a motor insurance tax that the NPP never actually used. Instead they created a massive 21.9 percent tax on non-life insurance policies that hits regular people hard. Amoakoh thinks this tax rate could jump to 60 percent before the NDC...
