By Lawrence Odoom/Phalonzy Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson has affirmed that Ghana’s recent macroeconomic upswing is the product of profound structural realignment, not transient palliatives, as he addressed a cohort of international investors at the 2026 Spring Meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank Group in Washington. “Growth has exceeded expectations, driven by strong performance in services and agriculture, while inflation continues to decline steadily, supported by tight monetary policy, fiscal consolidation, and a strengthening cedi,” Dr. Forson asserted. “These are not cosmetic gains. They are outcomes of well-thought-through reforms, backed by laws and disciplined implementation.” Dr.Forson…

By Sylvia Awuye-Akpavor|| Correspondent, Volta Region In a powerful act of compassion and leadership, the Ketu South Constituency Deputy Women’s Organizer, Xornam Favour Alayi-Hussey (Xornam Favour Ignatius-Dei), has once again demonstrated her unwavering commitment to uplifting lives and restoring hope. Today, she donated two brand-new sewing machines and an undisclosed amount of money to Madam Lucky Fiadohu, a dedicated branch women’s organizer and dressmaker in Aflao, whose shop was tragically ransacked by thieves earlier this week. What was meant to silence a hardworking woman has instead ignited a stronger wave of support. This intervention is more than a donation, it…

By Leo Nelson Lawyer and Senior Vice President of IMANI Africa, Kofi Bentil, has criticised a recent High Court ruling on the powers of the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), describing the decision as flawed. Speaking on JoyNews’ Newsfile on Saturday, Bentil argued that the judge erred in the interpretation and application of the law governing the OSP, particularly on the question of prosecutorial authority. According to him, while judges are mandated to interpret laws, such interpretations must be grounded not only in the text of the statute but also in the intent behind it. He contended that the…

By Nelson Ayivor There was a time I quietly walked away from the church—not in rebellion, but in disappointment. What once felt like a sanctuary began to feel like a place of contradictions. I saw flaws in people I expected to be examples. I heard sermons that did not seem to match lived realities. I carried questions that no one seemed willing to answer. So, like many others, I drifted. At first, the distance felt liberating. Saturdays/Sundays became ordinary. There were no expectations, no routines, no obligations. I told myself I could seek God on my own—and in truth, God…

By Nelson Ayivor There is a quiet but growing testimony many believers are hesitant to share openly: “I left the church.” It is a statement often misunderstood, sometimes judged harshly, and frequently misinterpreted as a departure from God Himself. But for many, leaving the church was not an act of rebellion—it was the beginning of a deeper, more authentic walk with God. This is not a story of abandoning faith. It is a story of rediscovering it. When the Sacred Becomes Routine For years, church was a central part of my life. Saturdays/Sundays were non-negotiable. Midweek services, choir rehearsals, prayer…

By Oscar Akaba Introduction Since the introduction of the Publican AI system in customs operations at Ghana’s ports, I have closely observed its practical implications on trade activities, particularly at the Aflao border. While the system was intended to enhance efficiency and revenue mobilization, the realities on the ground are revealing emerging challenges that require urgent attention. My observations so far point to increasing costs of trade, growing frustration among traders, and potential long-term consequences for both food security and government revenue. High Valuation: A Persistent Concern One of the most consistent issues I have observed is the unusually high…

By Leo Nelson Ghana’s real estate and automobile industries are experiencing a notable surge, driven by rising demand from business moguls, entrepreneurs, and a growing class of young professionals with increasing purchasing power. Industry players say this demographic shift is reshaping consumption patterns, accelerating property acquisitions, and boosting vehicle sales, particularly in urban centres such as Accra, Tema, Kumasi and Ho. The expansion of Ghana’s private sector, coupled with growth in entrepreneurship and digital-driven businesses, has created a new segment of high-earning individuals seeking to invest in assets such as residential properties and personal vehicles. This trend is contributing to…
