A municipal leader in Ghana is worried about rising drug use among young people. The Atebubu Amantin MCE, Honorable Masud Musah Ayarba Thomas, addressed the issue at a local assembly meeting. He stated that youth are abusing substances like tramadol, weed, and even sniffing glue.
He connected this problem to an increase in other social crimes. He assured the council that the Municipal Security Council plans to tackle it directly. The official also noted that highway patrols by military and police units have reduced armed robberies on major roads in the area. He admitted these security operations are expensive for the municipality but said they will continue providing support to keep the peace.

President John Mahama says he does not own Chain Homes. He addressed rumors about the real estate development at a community event, explaining how he ended up living there. He said his family was looking for a rental property and found a house in the neighborhood that someone else had built and listed for rent.
He sarcastically told residents that if they believed he was the owner, then they had all paid the wrong person. He joked they should ask for a refund from the actual company and bring the money to him instead. His comments aimed to shut down the speculation, stressing that his residence in the estate was purely as a tenant and the ownership claims were completely false.
A former parliament member criticized the Attorney General for his handling of alleged crimes. Dr. Dickson Adomako Kissi accused Dr. Dominic Ayine of seeking media attention over court judgments.

He stated a company owned by a regional political chairman would face charges for using fraudulent documents to get a large bank loan. He also said a political party leader and his wife would be prosecuted for forgery and money laundering involving millions. The former MP urged the Attorney General to concentrate on his official...

The head of Ghana's constitution review committee says people there strongly oppose a third presidential term. Professor Henry Kwasi Prempeh addressed claims that former president John Mahama might seek another term if he wins office again. He stated the constitution clearly blocks this with a two-term limit, a rule his committee found absolutely no public demand to change.
Prempeh noted that political parties themselves act as a major barrier to extending tenures, with many candidates waiting for a turn. His group rejected suggestions to even clarify the existing term limit wording, calling the original language perfectly clear. The committee did propose other amendments, however, like lowering the presidential eligibility age to...
