Ghana Foreign Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa went to Accra streets Friday to personally give people their new chip passports. He aims to speed up passport services through a team effort with Ghana Post, which sent out 5000 passports across the country this week. Applicants received their documents just two weeks after they applied for them. The minister wore traditional white clothes as he surprised people at their jobs with personal deliveries. He wanted to see how happy citizens felt when they got good service without problems.
The government hopes to end the frustration of making many trips to passport offices. The home delivery plan came from changes suggested by the Passport Reforms Committee, which started when Ablakwa first...
James Agalga says lawmakers never took money for passing the National Signals Bureau Act. He responded Sunday after claims that GH¢960,000 went to committee members as bribes. The Defense Committee chair called these accusations false because the agency did not exist before the law was passed. Committee leaders worked directly with National Security Minister Kan Dapaah during the bill process. The Bureau came into being only after lawmakers approved the legislation.
Agalga states he first met Adu Boahene almost a year later when he appeared as the new Bureau director. The former Bureau chief could not have paid money from accounts of an organization that had not been created. Agalga emphasized that all legislative work happened through...
Kids from St. Theresa and Our Lady of Nativity parishes brought gifts to children at St. Joseph Orphanage in Jirapa. They gave soft drinks, biscuits, and GHC300 cash to help care for 22 children living there. The orphanage takes care of 10 boys and 12 girls, with four sets of twins among them. Sisters Pia, Judith, Sylvia, and Monica led the young visitors during their trip. Father Gregory Dongkore helped gather supplies for the mission.
St. Anne Technical Institute lent a vehicle to carry everyone safely to Jirapa. The children also stopped at Royal Cosy Hills Hotel and Safari, known as Jirapa Dubai, for fun after their good deed. This visit teaches young church members about caring for others less fortunate than themselves. The...
The Eastern Regional House of Chiefs told Owusu Daniel Dickson to stop calling himself the Anum chief. The court decided that Okusiaku-Brempong Kumi Sasraku VII is the real leader of the area. Nana Kolihue XI asked for legal help against people who backed Dickson. The three judges agreed that Dickson must step back from all chief duties. They also banned his supporters from saying he leads the traditional area.
The real chief took his place on May 5 last year after the previous leader died. Officials welcomed him to the Regional House of Chiefs on July 13, 2023. The former chief had served for 46 years before his death. This case shows how seriously Ghana takes traditional leadership roles. The House of Chiefs works hard to keep these...
Dr. Emmanuel Akwetey from IDEG praised President Mahama for changing how Ghana enforces asset declaration rules. The president created a March 31 deadline for officials to declare assets instead of waiting six months as allowed under the law. Officials who miss this deadline lose their salary or face dismissal from their jobs. Dr. Akwetey spoke about this on Joy FM radio last Saturday. He said no other leader had taken such strong steps during 32 years of Ghana's Fourth Republic.
President Mahama set an example when he publicly submitted his asset forms first. Many officials feared declaring assets because extended family members might learn about their wealth. Some critics say the president might be going beyond legal limits with...
The government began sending money to first-year students at public colleges last week. Communications Minister Felix Ofosu Kwakye shared this news during a radio program on May 10. Students must sign up through an online system that opened three weeks ago. The system checks their information before sending cash straight to their bank accounts. Everyone already enrolled at their school needs to register on this new website as well.
Only students from public universities, technical schools, and nursing colleges can receive this help. The Student Loan Trust Fund provides the money for this program. Officials compare data with education authorities to ensure only real students receive payments. Students who have already paid their fees...
Chido Obi stands ready for a possible first start at Old Trafford against West Ham United today. The young striker played his first full match during last weekend's 4-3 loss at Brentford.
