Stanbic Bank Ghana gave more than GHS 500,000 to three places that help Ghana grow. Harry Opoku Agyeman said they want to help people build the country. The bank sent computers, tablets, TVs, and cameras to UHAS for teaching future doctors. They handed GHS 141,251 to police trainers because safe streets matter for everyone. Mawuli School got GHS 100,000 to fix classroom roofs where students learn.
The bank teaches money skills through its free Financial Fitness Academy. Mr. Agyeman explained that this helps people manage cash better without pushing bank products.

Afenyo-Markin sees danger signs as fewer voters show up at the polls. Last Wednesday, he spoke at a Winneba court opening about the problem. The leader told officials that Accra saw just half its people vote recently. Both Ashanti regions, with 64 percent voting rates, alarm him.
Young voters might rise against leaders if changes fail to happen. The MP helped create this new courthouse with eleven offices. Each room has its own bathroom for workers to use. Police can hold suspects inside a special cell built there. The building stands on land that will later house many government agencies.
Voter interest keeps falling as years pass, making Afenyo-Markin worried about the future. He remembers a 60 percent turnout during the Kufuor...
IMANI Africa leader Franklin Cudjoe thinks some new job programs might waste money. He talked about President Mahama finishing four months as the leader. The Adwumawura plan, the One Million Coders project, and the National Apprenticeship Program need better planning. These efforts cost about GH₵200 million but might not help the economy grow.
Cudjoe believes jobs must clearly contribute to making the country richer. He wants officials to check how these programs affect business growth before spending. The government should create work that fits into existing business needs. Many people need jobs, but throwing cash at quick fixes solves nothing. Jobs must add real value instead of just keeping people busy during the day.
Acting Chief Justice Baffoe-Bonnie told 123 new lawyers to change how courts work in Ghana. He wants these fresh legal minds to help people who cannot pay for lawyers.

They heard this message at the Accra conference center during their swearing-in event.
Family members watched proudly as each person became an official lawyer. The head judge made them promise to follow all legal rules forever. Each new lawyer got a certificate from three important legal leaders. Justice Baffoe-Bonnie asked them to teach younger students about law careers. He said being honest matters most when working with clients...

Suzzy reached England on May 10 for eye treatment after her classmate shot her accidentally. Her brother came with her as caretaker, along with Rafik Mahama, who helps businessman Ibrahim Mahama.

Dr. Bawumia told NPP members he gave up fast after losing to keep Ghana safe. The former vice president made peace with the election results to prevent fights between parties. He talked about this choice when meeting supporters during his thank-you trip across the Oti Region. Dr. Bawumia wants everyone to trust how elections work in Ghana.
The NPP flag bearer praised party workers who knocked on doors during the campaign season. He called their hard work important for the party's future. His early surrender helped stop anger from spreading through the country. Ghana stayed calm because it accepted what voters decided. Dr. Bawumia keeps visiting local groups despite losing the national vote last year.
Experts want Ghana leaders to show what they really have. Lawyer Martin Kpebu said officials must tell everyone about their money. The International Monetary Fund asks Ghana to make asset reports public. People worry nobody checks if leaders tell the truth about cars or houses. The country needs clear rules with real punishments.
Susan Adu-Amankwah from the National Interest Movement asked President Mahama to punish rule breakers. She believes strong actions will scare others into following the laws. Minister Felix Kwakye Ofosu admitted that past governments let people skip these reports. President Mahama wants to change this bad habit. The new plan includes real consequences for lazy officials.
The Auditor-General plans to name...
