Nyarko claimed NPP manages tariffs better than NDC, suggesting the opposition faces backlash for politicizing increases when they weren't in power. The public expected negative reactions because the hikes came early in 2025. Several...

Security officials caught Bright Mensah Bonsu for allegedly selling Ghana High Commission property in Lagos without permission. He collected $1.5 million from buyers after claiming the beachfront land was worth $5.3 million. This money never reached any government accounts.
