Amidu rips into Ghana CJ over impeachment bid
Former Special Prosecutor Martin Amidu wrote a public letter regarding the suspension of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo. He warns that her efforts to stop the impeachment could hurt people's trust. Amidu says she faces tough legal challenges. The Supreme Court has ruled against halting impeachments once they have begun. He pointed to three major court cases that support this view. The highest court stated that Article 146 of the 1992 Constitution renders the process unstoppable once it begins. Amidu stressed that respondents cannot request the cancellation of a petition. Once the President accepts the petition, the impeachment moves forward. No other methods can interrupt the constitutional process. The system does not allow for...
Zimbabwe Drivers Fume at Crazy Radio Tax for Insurance
Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa has approved a new law that requires drivers to obtain a radio license before purchasing car insurance. The annual fee costs $92 for each vehicle owner. Officials want the money to help fund the struggling state broadcaster. Critics argue the price hits families hard during tough economic times.

Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation needs the license money to stay afloat alongside government funding and advertising revenue. The broadcaster faces accusations of favoring the ruling party during election coverage. ZBC denies...
