The one area where I remain cautious is his full commitment to accountability, using it as a benchmark for future leaders to follow. I suspect his focus may lean more toward reinforcing good governance, rather than holding the previous administration fully accountable. If that is the case, he may quietly complete his term, return to his family, and enjoy a peaceful life afterward. That wouldn’t be a failure, but it wouldn’t be the kind of historic, celebrated exit that inspires generations. Nonetheless, Mahama’s first year of his second term has been remarkable. Progress is visible across nearly every sector of…
The District Court 1 at Adentan Fafraha in Greater Accra has ordered musician Black Sherif (Mohammed Ismail Sherif) to pay GH¢229,500 in outstanding rent for his Accra residence.

When Stonebwoy chooses Ho as the destination for the Torcher EP experience, he makes a powerful statement: Ghana’s creative spotlight does not belong to Accra alone. Hosting this major musical moment at the Ho Sports Stadium positions the Volta Region as a viable hub for large-scale entertainment and cultural tourism. This is how music drives local economies. Fans traveling to Ho for the show will spend on transport, accommodation, food, and local services, injecting life into businesses and promoting the city as an event-friendly destination.

Reports that Ghana has notified the International Monetary Fund (IMF) of its intention to exit the current support programme this year have sparked nationwide debate and optimism. If realized, the move would mark a significant moment in Ghana’s economic management, signalling a desire to regain full policy independence after years of operating under IMF conditionalities. Economic Implications and Public Beliefs Exiting the IMF programme could restore greater fiscal and monetary flexibility, allowing government to design home-grown policies without strict external benchmarks. It may also boost national confidence, as many Ghanaians associate IMF programmes with austerity measures—higher taxes, reduced public spending,…
The Asantehene Otumfour Osei Tutu has asked the IGP, Mr Christian Tetteh Yohuno to prepare a police uniform for him.

Meanwhile, the…
