Investor Balbir Violet Allan took the Bank of Ghana plus former boss Dr. Ernest Addison to court. She blames them for letting the cedi crash, which hurt her money badly. Law teacher Dr. John Baiden helps her fight this case at the High Court. The cedi fell from GHS 4.26 per dollar in 2017 to GHS 15.49 in 2025. Allan says this crushed her treasury investments.
She claims the money troubles could have been avoided with better management. In her lawsuit, she wants the court to declare the central bank failed its job and hold them responsible for all the damage they caused. Dr. Addison personally faces blame for running things during this currency meltdown. The exchange rate hit GHS 15.49 when he left office this February.

IMANI Africa President Franklin Cudjoe wants the $179 million KelniGVG contract thrown out right away. He claims the 2018 telecom monitoring deal lacks transparency and wastes money. The IMANI boss posted on Facebook that KelniGVG hasn't produced any reports since signing the agreement. He pointed out that Ghana pays $1.5 million every month, adding up to $18 million yearly with nothing to show for it.
Cudjoe asked the Operation Recover All Loots committee to question the former Communications Minister about wasting $179 million on what he called a "scam system" plus leaving behind almost $200 million in debt from managing AirtelTigo after buying it for just one dollar. Communications Minister Samuel Nartey George already announced the...
Ghana Water Limited plans to let out extra water from the Weija Dam after recent rains filled it up. The company must start controlled releases right away or risk breaking the dam itself. Charles Tulashie received a warning letter from the Greater Accra Regional Chief Manager about this danger.
The letter explained how rising water threatens the dam's structure, which could harm people nearby. Officials want to begin with small amounts of water release but might need to increase it depending on how much water keeps flowing in. Workers will continue letting water out as long as levels stay high to prevent any possible collapse.
Residents should prepare for possible changes in water flow downstream as this safety measure continues. The...
Fire burned through Kasoa-Columba Junction Thursday night, destroying five business containers completely. The blaze started around 8:30 p.m. and kept burning for more than two hours. Local people fought the flames themselves because emergency services didn't show up when called. Businesses lost included a provision store, dressmaking shop, hair salon, pedicure center, and bag store - with damage worth millions of Ghana Cedis.
Nobody answered emergency calls to fire stations at Kasoa, Budumburam, Weija, and Dansoman because their trucks weren't working properly. Firefighters from Anyaa finally arrived after most damage had happened. The fire apparently began inside the provision shop before jumping to nearby containers. An electrical...

Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu wants the Ghana Education Service to crack down fast on bad behavior in high schools across the country. He feels worried about students acting up more these days, saying it hurts Ghana's school system.
Speaking to school leaders in Sunyani, Iddrisu mentioned a shooting that happened at SDA Senior High School in Kumasi. He called this scary incident a sign that discipline keeps getting worse in schools. These kinds of violent acts make everyone less safe when they should be learning.
The government supports GES Director-General Professor Ernest Kofi Davis as he plans tough new rules to restore order in classrooms. Iddrisu believes everyone needs to work together—teachers, principals, parents, and...
Workers have returned to fix the broken Tema-Aflao highway after months of delays. Construction started again on April 7 when Ghana's government gave fresh money to BHM International Construction.

A minibus driver called the past situation "a nightmare" but feels hopeful seeing progress happening again. Shop owners near the construction site had to move but received...
