Ghana must commit funds towards developing its marine tourism resources, to make them meet global standards, Dr. Gabriel Eshun, Head of Geography and Tourism, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), has said. It is estimated that out of the 40 transatlantic slave edifices, Ghana could boast of 29 of them and the potential of these could be harnessed through better packaging, branding and marketing, to increase the nation’s international tourism arrivals. Dr Eshun, who was delivering a paper at a symposium in Kumasi, indicated that those facilities and other unique historical and research centres, such as the Lake Bosomtwe, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, were of significance to global tourism. Ghana currently ranks sixth in the West African sub-region and 120th in the world, in terms of the global tourism competitiveness, according to the World Economic Forum’s Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Index.

Mrs Diana Acconcia, the European Union (EU) Ambassador to Ghana, has said marine plastic littering remains a major challenge in the fight against plastic waste worldwide. This, she noted, was a major threat to biodiversity, and exposed the world to bad effects of climate change. The Ambassador made these remarks at the EU Beach Cleanup exercise at James Town in Accra. It was held in partnership Plastic Punch, a non-governmental organisation, the Accra Metropolitan Assembly, and the Environmental Protection Agency. Mrs Acconcia said every year eight million tonnes of trash ended up in the ocean with plastics accounting for 85 per cent of marine litter, having negative impacts on ecosystems, biodiversity and human health. She said plastic management should be a concern for all, since it contributed largely to marine litter. “It is estimated that by 2050 there could be more plastics than fish in the sea,” she said. The EU was leading the way with the new single-use plastics legisla...

Prof Asiama Professor Seth Opuni Asiama, Senior Lecturer, Department of Land Economy, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) has called for the review of the Land Bill, which is currently before Parliament. The Bill seeks to consolidate and harmonise in one simplified form, 166 existing laws relating to land, to regulate land use and enhance effective land management in the country. Prof Asiama said aside the Bill having lots of gender issues, it also did not touch on the management of customary lands adding that customary lands constituted 80 per cent of lands in the country. “You cannot have a Land Bill in the country that does not address customary lands. If it does not affect 80 per cent of the land resource in the country then what is the purpose of the law?” he said. Prof Asiama said this in his presentation at the fifth National Development Forum, organised by the National Development Planning Commission (NDPC). The forum, which registered about 200 p...

Mr. John Peter Amewu, Minister for Energy has hinted of plans by government to construct more mini hydro power plants across the country to add-on power supply from the national grid. He said the country was migrating to mini hydro power plants as a source of power supply for communities when the national grid was off.  Mr. Amewu said this when he inspected completed works on the construction of civil structures of a 42KW Tsatsadu mini hydro power project at Alavanyo-Abehenease in the Volta Region.

Carsten Brosda – Minister of Culture and Media, Hamburg City They are ubiquitous, they are important, their work is essential to functioning societies, shining light on the activities of the powerful, wealthy and criminals. The work of investigative journalists around the world, despite being constitutionally acknowledged in most countries, has come under attack, even as there is evidence of democracy receding in many countries of the world, and autocrats are rising. From the US, through India, South Africa, the UK, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Ghana, Nigeria, Togo, Tanzania, to Zambia and Malawi, investigative journalists have come under unprecedented attack. They have been shot dead, chased out of their countries, their operations shut and some imprisoned, but they have remained resilient – working under difficult conditions – they have continued to uncover crime, corruption, abuse of power hold the powerful to account, and they are growing. Growing in numbers and developing new investig...
