Face investigations for Fraud, Money Laundering Kofi Akpaloo, the outspoken leader of the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG), found himself in hot water as officials from the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) swooped in to apprehend him on allegations of fraud, causing financial loss to the state, dissipation of public funds, falsification of documents, and money laundering. Akpaloo, who was reportedly discovered hiding in a Waldrop duvet in Kumasi, was taken into custody by EOCO following a tip-off that he was a wanted man.. After several unsuccessful attempts to locate him, officials used sophisticated surveillance methods to track him…

Recent data from the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) shows the scale of Ghana’s uneven investment landscape. Of 140 projects registered in 2024, 115 were concentrated in the Greater Accra Region, underscoring the need to spread investment more evenly across the country. Against this backdrop, the Volta Investment Summit, a flagship project of the 7th Volta Trade and Investment Fair, is drawing national attention. Organisers describe the Summit (which is to be held from November 26 to December 8, 2025, in Ho) as more than a regional gathering, framing it as a call to action to diversify investment flows, reduce…

Every day of the week, even before sunrise, something special begins to stir in corners of Ghana’s towns and cities. While most people are still preparing for work, the chop bars – small, local food joints, are already in motion. Firewood is lit, ingredients sorted, and large pots begin to boil. It’s a quiet ritual that repeats itself across the country, and yet many don’t stop to think about how essential it is. From Monday to Saturday, these neighbourhood kitchens do the heavy lifting of feeding Ghana’s working population. The construction workers, market women, drivers, teachers, and students, all rely…

In Ghana today, the heartbeat of the economy doesn’t echo through office buildings or boardrooms. It pulses through roadside stalls, inside containers-turned-salons, under market umbrellas, and through the taps of smartphones in the hands of young entrepreneurs. This is the informal sector, unstructured, under-supported, and often underestimated, but it’s where the real work is happening. Every morning, long before city traffic builds, young men and women across the country are already busy. A woman sets up her table to sell porridge and bread to commuters. Down the road, a young man is welding metal gates in front of a customer’s…

The recently concluded Akwatia by-election may not have shifted the parliamentary arithmetic in Ghana, but it has triggered important reflections on the country’s democratic journey. Professor Stephen Kwaku Asare, a Fellow of the Centre for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana) and renowned good governance advocate, has highlighted critical lessons that political actors must pay attention to if they intend to remain relevant in Ghana’s evolving political landscape. In an analytical commentary on the outcome of the contest, Prof. Asare stressed that while the numbers confirmed an expected victory for the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), the broader takeaways from the polls extend…

…Now at 11.5% in August 2025, beating end-year target.  Ghana’s headline inflation has again eased further to 11.5% in August 2025, down from 12.1% in July, according to the latest figures released by the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS). This marks the eighth consecutive month of decline in the country’s inflation rate and brings the figure below the government’s end-of-year target of 11.9%. The development is being seen as a clear signal of stronger price stability in the economy after a turbulent period of high inflation that stretched households and businesses. The August outturn also represents the lowest inflation recorded in…

On a humid afternoon in Tamale, Amina spreads her harvested maize on mats in the courtyard. She prays the rain holds off for a few more days, because if it comes early, half her crop will rot before she can sell it. In Accra, Kwaku buys a small bag of imported rice for his family. It costs nearly double what it did just two years ago, yet he has no alternative. These two everyday stories—one from the farm, one from the market—capture the crisis at the heart of Ghana’s food system and, more broadly, Sub-Saharan Africa’s. Food is not just…
