The solemn silence that fell over Akwatia following the death of its Member of Parliament has been shattered by the familiar roar of political ambition. Just months after the community mourned its loss, the announcement of a by-election has transformed a period of grief into a frantic scramble for power. The respectful tributes have been replaced by strategic meetings, campaign flyers, and a relentless focus on the vacant seat, not the man who once held it. This rapid pivot from mourning to campaigning is a pattern many Ghanaians have come to expect. The political machine, it seems, waits for no…

Ghana’s economy is showing signs of resilience and revival, with leading global professional services firm Deloitte projecting that the country is well on course to achieve its 2025 Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth target of 4.0%. This optimism is largely anchored on early growth numbers for the year, the role of the private sector, and transformative policy interventions—most notably, the government’s 24-Hour Economy Programme. Ghana recorded an impressive 5.3% GDP growth in the first quarter of 2025, outpacing both the 4.9% growth recorded during the same period in 2024 and the government’s full-year target of 4.0%. This remarkable performance, according…

The documents, obtained by this paper, shockingly identify Adu-Boahene himself as the exporter and importer of a stolen BMW from Germany, directly contradicting his claims. The scandal also implicates Philip Kwame Brobbey, owner of the Philbro Group, who previously admitted to selling the vehicle to Adu-Boahene. New…

Adom-Otchere Bares All on How Elites, NPP and Even NDC Bailed Him Out’. The fight against corruption in Ghana is hanging by a thread, and the reason is not a new law or a change in government. It’s because the country’s most prominent figures—chiefs, pastors, and politicians—are allegedly using their influence to undermine the very institutions meant to fight it. This was on full display last week when the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) detained former Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) board chairman, Paul Adom-Otchere. Sources close to the OSP reveal a chaotic scene behind the walls of the…

Political activist and lawyer, Oliver Barker-Vormawor has raised concerns about what he described as the transactional nature of political party support in the country. According to him, both major parties—the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP)—are undermined by followers who treat political engagement as a personal business rather than a civic duty. Barker-Vormawor believes that this trend is damaging Ghana’s political landscape. He argued that many supporters align themselves with parties not from genuine loyalty, but rather in pursuit of personal gain, including jobs, contracts, and appointments. In his view, this self-serving mindset leads to unreasonable…
