By Nelson Ayivor A quiet agricultural revolution is underway in Ghana, and its engine is the humble coconut.

Not literal blood, of course, but the political heads of those who served under the former Akufo-Addo regime. The narrative is clear: an unprecedented era of corruption needs an unprecedented show of accountability. The people want justice, and they want it now. But even before the new government can find its feet, the familiar scent of political doublespeak is in the air. The General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Fiifi Fiavi Kwetey,…

Did Adjabeng sabotage his own case against SML with a Bull in a China Shop invasion?

Speaking on Channel One TV’s Face to Face programme, Kwakye Ofosu didn’t mince words. He revealed that the current tariff review framework isn’t a government…
