At his May Day speech, President Mahama promised to keep fighting illegal mining. He told the crowd at Independence Square that the army would continue working against people harming forests and water. The president said he knew four months was not enough time to fix this difficult problem that threatens Ghana.
Ghana Gold Board leader Sammy Gyamfi announced plans to cancel Law LI 2462 completely. The government first considered changing the law to stop presidents from allowing mining in forest areas, but they worried that removing it might create legal problems. Many groups called the law dangerous and pushed for its removal instead of changes.

Three district leaders from Gomoa met with Chief Obrempong Nyanful Krampah XI on Tuesday. The officials wanted help with their Reset Ghana plans. President Mahama picked Margaret Naana Ackom from East Gomoa, Hackman Kobina Aidoo from Central Gomoa, and Alhaji Mohammed Kassim from West Gomoa. All three earned full support from their assembly members.
The chief told them to stay on track with their work. He pointed out problems like bad roads, youth without jobs, poor education, drug abuse, and crime. These issues make the area unsafe for people who might create jobs there. He asked the officials to team up with parliament members and earn more local money instead of waiting for government funds.
Other chiefs backed them but warned...
Firefighters in Ghana saved over 550 million cedis worth of stuff from burning last year. Fire cases went up almost 8 percent in 2024 compared to 2023. Most fires start because of bad wiring, gas leaks, burning trash, or people not being careful with flames.
The value of things saved from fire jumped 160 percent in 2024. Greater Accra had the most fires, with 1309 cases. Home fires went down 3 percent, but bush fires increased. Fire deaths dropped from 27 to 25, and injuries fell from 108 to 54. Many times, citizens put out fires before help arrived, saving about 55 million cedis worth of items.
Car crashes decreased slightly, with fewer deaths but a small rise in injuries. Other rescue cases, like bee attacks and building collapses...
Professor Stephen Kwaku Asare is upset about new judges heading to the Supreme Court. On April 30, President Mahama picked seven Court of Appeal judges for the High Court. He sent names like Justice Dennis Adjei and Justice Hafisata Amaleboba to Acting Chief Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie for approval. The professor thinks this move might seem like fixing the balance after former President Akufo-Addo filled seats with NPP friends.
The law expert worries about growing the court to nineteen judges instead of making real improvements. He points out that large groups of judges often have trouble working together quickly and making clear decisions. This could create split opinions and slow down cases when many citizens already doubt the courts...
AMD's tech website announced new processor names. Data miner InstLatX64 found these names first. The main chips are called Gorgon Point and come in three types. These chips were just rumors before AMD made them official.

AMD's Radeon RX 9070 GRE 12 GB card will be released on May 8 instead of later in 2025. Several partners, like PowerColor and Sapphire, are making custom models for China. ASUS created the ATS Megalodon version, which costs about 600 US dollars when converted from Chinese yuan.
The ASUS card has three fans and special phase-change thermal pads to keep it cool. It takes up 2.5 slots in your computer case. The card comes with a factory speed boost but lacks the special connection options that past Megalodon cards had. ASUS built a brand new design instead of using their old PRIME or TUF Gaming cases.
This graphics card is aimed at people who want good performance without fancy extras. The cooling technology stands out as the main...
