The High Court commercial division has denied a petition to transfer 20 percent of shares from an absent Bemuga Forwarders Limited director to Dr. Ben Mugasha, the company's majority stakeholder.

The company had initially brought Kanyerezi aboard because of his technical expertise and potential to drive business expansion. According to Mugasha, when these contributions failed to materialize, Kanyerezi abandoned his position...

President Mahama addressed Parliament on Thursday regarding the Agenda 111 hospital project's lack of progress. The previous administration failed to establish dedicated funding for these healthcare facilities, resulting in zero operational hospitals across Ghana.

The government has already spent $400 million on the abandoned project. Based on the estimated cost of $18 million per hospital, this funding should have completed at least 22 functional healthcare facilities by today. The President has instructed the Health Minister to develop a...

The Majority Leader has expressed concerns about recent terminations of public sector employees. Alexander Afenyo-Markin spoke during the parliamentary session following the President's address to the nation.

The President emphasised these figures...
