Madam Gifty Akorsah Arthur, the Nkoranza North District Chief Executive (DCE), has expressed upset about the situation where fruits produced in large quantities in the area go to waste, something that has become a huge disincentive to farmers. The situation could not continue – there was an urgent need to establish a fruit processing factory. This, she added, would not only assure the farmers of a ready market but ensure value addition.  The district is popular for mangoes and watermelon production. The DCE was contributing to discussions at an open forum jointly organized by the Public Interest and Accountability Committee (PIAC) and the Institute of Financial and Economic Journalists (IFEJ) at Nkoranza. This was done with support from the German Development Corporation (GIZ) under its good governance project.

The Black Stars of Ghana defeated their Japanese counterparts in an international friendly played at the Yokohama International Stadium in the annual Kirin Challenge Cup. Goals from Atletico Madrid’s Thomas Partey and Levante’s Emmanuel Boateng ensured a comfortable victory for the dazzling Stars who couldn’t make it to their fourth succesive World Cup as they deepened the woes of Akiro Nishino’s who will be making the sixth consecutive appearance. Partey who was Ghana’s captain opened the scoring in the ninth minute Partey when he lined up a freekick and curled his shot through the wall and past Japan goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima.

Mr Kyei Kwadwo Yamoah, Programmes Manager of Friends of The Nation, has called on fisher folks to lend the required support to his outfit in the effort to revive the fishing industry in fishing communities.

Fund transfers from one mobile network to another is recording steady increase since mobile money interoperability was launched on May 10, this year, an indication of increasing awareness and public confidence in the new system. In the first seven days of mobile money interoperability, a total of 28,000 transfers valued at about GH¢2.3 million were made. By the next seven days, the total volume had gone up by about 30 percent to 36,181 transfers valued at about GH¢3.3 million, representing an increase of over 44 percent in terms of value. With the launch of the mobile money interoperability, customers are now able to transfer funds from one mobile money wallet to another wallet across networks. This eliminates the hitherto complexities and inconveniences associated with transfers across the various networks in the country. The mobile money interoperability has also been seen as an important vehicle to deepen financial inclusion because it enables people who do not have bank accoun

MTN Ghana as part of measures to fulfilling its 4G license requirement is transferring 35 per cent stake to Ghanaians through an initial public offering. The Company seeks to raise GH¢3.47 billion at 0.75 cedis per share in the sale of over four billion ordinary shares to the public.

The Minority in Parliament has criticized what they say is deliberate diversion of earmarked funds by the government to finance the free Senior High School (SHS) programme. They asked that the Finance Minister avoid doing anything to circumvent the guidelines in the Petroleum Revenue Management Act. Mr. Ato Forson, their Spokesperson on Finance, warned that they could be heading to court to stop any breaches of the law. He was speaking to journalists after the House had debated the report of the Finance Committee on the 2017 Petroleum Fund. The Act stipulates that 70 per cent of the Fund should go into Annual Budget Funding Amount (ABFA) and out of that 70 per cent should be dedicated to infrastructure development. The remaining 30 per cent should be used on other priority areas – goods and services. The Ghana Infrastructure and Investment Fund (GIIF) Act also states that 25 per cent of the ABFA, should go into the GIIF for purposes of developing infrastructure. Mr. Forson, who

Mr Enoch Odame, Chairman of the Central Regional Inter-Party Dialogue Committee, has emphasised that an independent and neutral security service is vital in the fight to uproot corruption from the society. According to him, security agencies have a role to play in the fight against corruption and thus, their ability to remain neutral and ensure that clear institutional standards and laws were enforced without fear or favour must not be compromised. “Security services must be free to ensure that wrongdoers irrespective of their political affiliations face the appropriate legal penalties,” he stated. Mr Odame said this when he  addressed personnel of the various security agencies in the Central Region as part of the National Commission for Civic Education’s (NCCE) Anti-corruption Campaign and Constitutional Week Celebration in Cape Coast on Tuesday. He was speaking on the theme “The role of the security services in promoting transparency, public accountability and the rule of law in

Ophthalmologists in eight regions of Ghana are preparing to offer the new painless glaucoma treatment introduced by the University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS).

The Minority Caucus of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has cautioned the Government against using proceeds from the District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF) to finance its flagship programmes.   It urged the Government to take its hands off the Fund, which is meant to implement development projects in the districts. “The Government should desist from any further acts that seek to deprive the assemblies of lawful funds due them for implementation of their local development agenda as introducing legislation that seeks to appropriate parts of the monies to the DACF,” the Minority said on Tuesday. The Administrator of the Common Fund, last month, April 2018, directed the Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) to use 80 per cent of their allocation to fund central government programmes.

Sheikh Abdul-Razak Adamo Thani, an Islamic Scholar from Nigeria, has advised Ghanaian youth against the abuse of drugs such as Tramadol.  Sheikh Thani said Islam speaks against the use of drugs for illicit purposes, hence it was a sin for one to go contrary to what the Holy Quran says. “The Holy Quran says do not kill yourself by using hard drugs, in Islamic laws it is forbidden for any child or for any youth to be using drugs that are not permissible in Islam,” he said. Sheikh Adamo made the call at a Ramadan Public Lecture organised by Nasrul-Lahi-L-Fatih Society (NASFAT) in Accra during the weekend on the theme: “Islamic View Regarding Drug Abuse.” He noted that, drugs such as Tramadol was not a bad drug in itself but the way the youth have been over using it without prescriptions makes it a matter of concern. He said many lives were perishing as a result of the abuse of these drugs, which had now taken a trend in society. He therefore advised the youth to abide with government

Mr. Michael Adongo Ayibasa, President of the Bonded Nurses Association, told the Ghana News Agency that the picketing health professionals, had been told that what was left to be done for them to be employed was financial clearance from the Ministry of Finance. He said a number of their leaders were meeting with officials of the ministry to sort out their demands. Mr. Ayibasa also said one other reason they were picketing was to protest against being employed under the Heal Ghana Programme under National Builders Corp (NABCO). He said they had been promised by the government that 32,000 health workers would be employed by the end of March, 2018, out of which 27,000 would be nurses, but added that the promise had not been fulfilled, “and w
