Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, Mustapha questioned Ghana’s democratic standing following the arrest of Abdul Hannan Wahab, the immediate past CEO of the National Food Buffer Stock Company (NAFCO).

Mr. Wahab was reportedly picked up by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) over alleged financial and procurement infractions in an operation that spanned Accra and Tamale.

“Why is bail now being used as a new strategy to detain people? Even murder is bailable. Is this democracy or authoritarianism? President Mahama must tell us if we are under democratic leadership or an authoritarian regime,” Salam Mustapha fumed.

He described the situation as “callous, cruel, and senseless,” accusing the authorities of weaponizing legal discretion and undermining democratic principles.

Mustapha also pointed out Wahab’s residence near the President’s, stating, “He shares a wall with the President’s house. Is the President saying he hasn’t heard how his neighbour is being treated?”

He warned that the situation is deteriorating to the point where “you must show your party card before receiving justice in court.”

Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, Mr. Mustapha also criticised the Electoral Commission’s (EC) decision to order a re-run of elections in Ablekuma North, describing it as “questionable” and a potential recipe for chaos.

“For the EC to initially insist there was no need for a re-run and then suddenly change its stance raises serious concerns,” he stated.

“Our official position as the NPP is clear: only three polling stations remain to be collated, not 19 as claimed by the EC. We will not accept any re-run in Ablekuma North.”

Mr. Mustapha further accused the EC of overstepping its mandate and warned that such actions could erode public confidence in Ghana’s electoral system.

“The demeanor of the NDC indicates that they know they have lost it,” he added.

Speaking at the closing ceremony of the Post-Election Conference organised by the National Peace Council in Koforidua, Eastern Region, President Mahama stressed the need to prosecute perpetrators and compensate victims and their families.

He revealed that the Attorney General is finalising a report to be presented to Cabinet to facilitate the payment of adequate compensation to those affected by the violence during the December 2024 polls.

The former president reminded the Inspector General of Police (IGP) of his earlier request for thorough investigations into the violent incidents recorded in certain constituencies. He urged the Ghana Police Service to expedite these investigations to restore public trust in the electoral process.

“Political differences must never be a reason for violence. We all have a collective responsibility to protect public peace and security,” Mahama emphasised.

The Post-Election Conference, themed “Dialoguing for a Stronger Democracy and Social Cohesion”, was co-funded by the European Union, the United Nations Office for West Africa and the Sahel (UNOWAS), and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).

The event brought together key stakeholders to assess the 2024 elections and recommend measures to strengthen Ghana’s democracy.

President Mahama commended the National Peace Council for its role in promoting peace but urged greater stakeholder interest in the Electoral Commission’s operations to ensure future polls are free of violence.

He called on all political actors and civil society organisations to work collaboratively to safeguard Ghana’s democratic gains and prevent a recurrence of electoral violence.

Dubbed the Ghetto Rescue Operation, the campaign seeks to prioritize the rehabilitation of drug users—particularly the youth—by providing counseling, medical support, and reintegration opportunities to help them rebuild their lives.

During their visit to the Ashaiman ghetto, Members of Parliament under 45 years old, alongside psychologists and mental health officers, engaged with drug users, listened to their struggles, and offered words of encouragement.

They also donated food, water, soft drinks, and GHS 10,000 to support ongoing recovery efforts.

Some individuals shared harrowing stories of decades-long addiction. “I’ve been using all kinds of drugs, including mixing red-red with other substances, for the past 40 years. I want to stop, but it’s been a struggle. I really need help,” one man revealed. Another added, “I’ve been on cocaine for 10 years. I try to quit, but my body keeps calling for it.”

Chairperson of the caucus and MP for North Dayi, Joycelyn Tetteh Quashie, emphasized the non-partisan nature of the mission. “We are not condemning anyone. These are our brothers and sisters, and they need our support. We’ve set aside political colours to fight this together,” she said.

Mrs. Quashie also paid tribute to Speaker Alban Bagbin for his encouragement and support of the caucus’s efforts.

Ashaiman MCE Freeman Tsekpo praised the young MPs for taking bold steps to address drug abuse and promote recovery in affected communities.

The initiative will see the young MPs and their team visit ghettos nationwide, aiming to tackle the root causes of addiction and advocate for stronger rehabilitation programs.

He accused Mr Adu of deliberately ignoring evidence that justified the overhaul of the banking sector.

According to the former organiser, the Bank of Ghana and the IMF’s Asset Quality Reviews identified multiple undercapitalised banks in 2014/15, prompting the establishment of statutory reforms through Act 930.

“These institutions… had lost their franchise value,” he stated, and needed resolution before causing a wider systemic collapse.

He praised the NPP’s 2017 financial sector clean-up for preventing a full-blown banking crisis and safeguarding investments, including those in Cal Bank—a move he said also benefitted Mr Adu.

“No one was ready to invest in an entity that had lost its franchise value… The exercise of consolidation was to save deposits and as many jobs as possible,” he explained, noting that Mr Adu’s own investment was protected by government intervention.

He concluded by pointing to the sector’s impressive post-clean-up performance—stating that the financial industry’s total asset base grew by 33.8%, deposits rose by 28.8%, and liquidity ratios improved.

“All the performance indicators show that the sector… returned to profitability at the end of 2024,” he concluded, challenging Mr Adu to revisit the factual record before making further claims.

In a Facebook post on Friday, July 4, Dr Boamah described the EC’s action as “long overdue” and raised concerns about its impact on Ghana’s democratic credibility. “We’re left questioning what this means for the future of our democracy,” he wrote.

He further claimed, “The NPP is struggling to avoid another defeat,” reflecting the NDC’s growing confidence in reclaiming the seat.

Dr Boamah also reiterated his party’s call for electoral reforms, urging stakeholders to “fix the broken Electoral Commission” and ensure free, fair, and transparent elections.

The ex-NPP youth leader described Mr Adu’s remarks as politically motivated and factually inaccurate.

“He only sought to settle personal scores with Akufo-Addo and Ken Ofori-Atta,” the former organiser stated in a strongly worded release, reacting to Mr Adu’s appearance on PM Express.

He questioned the motives behind Mr Adu’s criticisms, suggesting they were rooted in resentment rather than objective analysis.

He added that Mr Adu’s narrative ignored the facts and contributions of the NPP administration, particularly its efforts to prevent the collapse of the banking sector—an intervention which, he claimed, indirectly protected Adu’s own legacy and investment in Cal Bank.

“It is very obvious he is now enjoying the benefits from his long service at Cal Bank because the NPP administration intervened to safeguard his investments,” he stated.

While acknowledging Mr Adu’s standing in the financial sector, the former NPP youth organiser urged him to set aside personal grievances.

“It is very sad that Mr Frank Adu had the audacity to make such misrepresentations on national media… This is a shame coming from someone who is considered part of the ‘establishment’ of the banking sector in Ghana,” he concluded.

Asamoah-Boateng urges NPP to unite and refocus for 2028 victory

Speaking in an interview on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, Mr. Asamoah-Boateng reminded party faithful that the NPP is “a united family, not an individual enterprise,” urging them to build a collective consciousness and consensus for the party’s future.

He revealed that the party has conducted a detailed post-election report to understand the reasons behind its 2024 electoral defeat.

“We know our flaws now and have received recommendations, especially on strengthening our grassroots and addressing the monetization of our politics,” he said.

Asamoah-Boateng emphasized that implementing these reforms will be critical to repositioning the NPP for a comeback.

“We all need to be patient and work together. Victory in 2028 is possible if we unite,” he added.

In his view, the party’s current challenges require a deliberate focus on rebuilding unity at the grassroots rather than rushing to elect a flagbearer.

“I disagree with the National Council’s rush for an early presidential primary. The party needs reorganization from the grassroots, not the top. Electing a flagbearer early won’t fix the current divisions,” he stated in an interview on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show.

Mr. Asamoah-Boateng urged party leaders to adopt a calmer approach, emphasizing the importance of internal cohesion.

“The noise is too much. We need to be sober and focus on internal unity. Ghanaians are waiting for us to have a sense of shared responsibility,” he added.

He also dismissed concerns that differing support for presidential hopefuls would deepen rifts in the party, describing such differences as “natural human tendencies” that can be managed with proper organization.

“It’s a natural human tendency for people to support those they want to support, so I don’t think this will create a rift in the party. The main focus should be on grassroots efforts; if that is achieved, reaching the top will be much easier,” he explained.

Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, he said, “The annual delegates conference should not be a funfair for presidential hopefuls. All presidential hopefuls must be banned from erecting banners or campaigning at the venue.”

He said there is a need for sober minds and focused discussions at the conference, adding, “We need quietness and a real commitment to administering constitutional changes. The party should issue a strong warning to anyone planning to use the conference as a platform for campaigning.”

Regarding the scheduled date of July 19, 2025, at the Legon Sports Stadium, Mr. Boateng suggested the party should consider postponing it because of the ongoing Ablekuma North election rerun.

He stressed that “One member, one vote is the way forward to help the party move ahead,” and added, “There must be discipline and members must be in good standing.”

Mr. Boateng also encouraged inclusivity, saying, “It would be odd to rush this process. This will enable members to vote for the flagbearer with an open mind.”

The NPP recently announced a nine-member committee to oversee preparations for the National Delegates Conference, as confirmed by NPP General Secretary Justin Frimpong Kodua after the NEC meeting on June 17.

The conference aims to bring delegates from across the country together to discuss key party issues and decide the party’s future direction.

“The chairman must bring a different ballgame. He must be able to motivate and energize so he can carry people along. I have studied, listened to, and understood the ideologies and philosophies of the party,” he stated.

Though confident in his ability to lead the NPP to victory in the 2028 election, the former Director-General of the State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA) says he will proceed cautiously before officially declaring his ambition.

However, he admitted to sending a subtle message calling for a new era of discipline and a more structured party.

In 2022, Asabee, as he is popularly known, was one of the key aspirants in the NPP chairmanship race.

He was confident that, among his competitors, he had the strength to ‘face’ the NDC.

However, at the end of the polls, his hope was dashed as Stephen Ayesu Ntim emerged the winner on his fifth attempt with 4,014 votes, while Asabee secured 1,010 votes.

“The 2024 elections weren’t easy. We have all been mesmerized by the results. Most of our people are yet to recover from the loss. It’s a serious issue,” he noted.

He added that while he personally sensed the possibility of defeat, the scale of the loss calls for a sober reassessment of the party’s strategies.

“The 2024 election was not easy. We have all been captivated by the results, but I sensed a feeling of loss among many. Most of our people have yet to recover from it, and this is a serious issue. It will require us to go back to the drawing board and reassess the situation,” he said.

Speaking in an interview on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem morning show, the former Information Minister expressed worry over what he described as a growing trend of the government launching major programmes without presenting the necessary documentation to Parliament.

“This is not the first time the NDC has launched a policy and failed to provide the details to Parliament. We saw it with the One Million Coders programme—they’ve launched it, but no document has been brought to us,” he stated.

The Ranking Member for the Economy and Development Committee also referenced President Mahama’s recent announcement during his tour of the Bono Region that over 2,000 Ghanaians had been selected to travel abroad for work.

“He said they’ve signed a contract to help more than 2,000 Ghanaians travel and work abroad. That’s fine. But where is the document? Parliament hasn’t seen anything to understand the processes involved,” he said.

He said while such initiatives may appear promising, Parliament must be allowed to perform its oversight role.

“You can’t keep launching programmes and avoid accountability. After every launch, bring the document to Parliament. Let’s evaluate it, ask questions, and monitor progress. That’s how governance works,” he added.

Touching specifically on the 24-hour economy policy, which has now been officially launched, Mr. Nkrumah warned that failure to submit the full policy framework to Parliament could lead to doubts about the government’s transparency.

“This 24-hour economy is very important. But without bringing the full document for monitoring, how can we hold them accountable? They want to avoid scrutiny, and that’s not right,” he said.

He claimed the NDC has so far launched about six key policies since assuming office, but only one has been submitted to Parliament for review.

“They passed the E-Levy at night—no public engagement. They launched the Adwumawura programme and still haven’t brought even a single page explaining what it entails. The National Apprenticeship Programme, the AGRAC Economic Transformation Agenda—same story. Where are the documents?” he queried.

Meanwhile, the newly launched 24-hour economy policy spans 283 pages and provides detailed plans for implementation and funding. It also signals a shift in focus—from merely keeping businesses open around the clock to addressing broader structural challenges in Ghana’s economy.

Mr. Oppong Nkrumah concluded by urging the government not to repeat past mistakes.

“We’re not saying don’t implement your programmes. Just do the right thing and bring them to Parliament. Let’s all work together in the interest of accountability and transparency,” he stressed.

Speaking on JoyNews’ Upfront programme on Wednesday, Mr Addai-Nimoh argued that the NPP constitution clearly states that when in opposition, the party must elect its presidential candidate no later than 24 months before the next general election.

“The constitution of the party says the National Executive Committee will determine the date and the time, and not later than 24 months before the general election, when the party is in opposition — this is the provision in the constitution,” he explained.

He maintained that holding the primaries in January is not only unconstitutional but also a poor strategic decision.

Mr Addai-Nimoh further suggested that the decision by the party’s National Council was influenced by internal politics and did not reflect the broader consensus within the party.

“They say opinions are divided, but the division is tilted more to the side of those who are opposed to the decision. I am pretty sure that even some National Council members are not in favour — they are not happy with what happened last month,” he said, referencing the council’s resolution to hold the primaries in January 2026.

He added that the party still has ample time to comply with its constitution.

“Per the constitution, we have all the way up to November or the first week of December 2026 to elect the flagbearer. So, we shouldn’t exceed that — we have the whole of next year,” he concluded.

Speaking on Adom FM’s morning show, Dwaso Nsem, Mr. Oppong Nkrumah claimed the government is systematically undermining checks and balances in its bid to consolidate power.

“This government wants absolute control over all four major parts of our democracy. In Parliament, they are trying to dominate proceedings, even pushing for three majority MPs to speak before one from the minority. They also attempted to skew representation on the Pan-African Parliament report until we resisted,” he said.

He further alleged that the Executive arm is being politicized with mass dismissals.

Mr. Oppong Nkrumah also raised concerns about the Judiciary, referencing the suspension of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo, which he described as “troubling.”

On press freedom, he warned that the media could be the next target.

“In the executive branch, we all know that when a new government comes to power, typically only CEOs are appointed. However, since the NDC took office, not only have CEOs been replaced, but directors and staff have also been removed. Almost 30,000 people have been sacked so far.

“The NDC is taking control of the executive branch. The situation is similar in the judiciary, where a chief justice has been suspended. If the media does not allow us to speak out, the NDC’s next target will be the media itself. Three journalists have already been arrested for allegedly making statements that do not align with government views,” he added.

He urged Ghanaians to remain vigilant to protect the country’s democratic institutions from what he described as creeping authoritarianism.

Speaking on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem, Madam Aubynn acknowledged that while a rerun was not the outcome she had hoped for, she believes it is necessary for peace and fairness.

“This isn’t our heart’s desire, but it’s only fair for them to do this. I believe it is God’s way of preventing chaos in Ablekuma North and Ghana at large. The party leadership has engaged us and urged us to cooperate with the process, so we accept it,” she said.

In a press release dated July 2, 2025, the EC announced that the rerun will be held on Friday, July 11, 2025.

The upcoming rerun has become a high-stakes contest, as both the NDC and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) intensify efforts to secure the crucial parliamentary seat in the Greater Accra Region.

However, the NPP and its candidate, Nana Akua Owusu Afriyie, have strongly opposed the move, insisting that she won the election held on December 7, 2024, and vowing to resist any attempt to “subvert the will of the people.”

Responding to this, Ewurabena Aubynn accused her opponent of entitlement and refusal to accept defeat.

“She thought the general election would be a walk in the park just because she won the NPP primaries after distributing goodies,” she claimed.

“She’s a former MP, and people can attest to her manipulative games, aggression, and underhand tactics during elections. For them, it’s not about hard work or campaigning, it’s about buying fridges and sharing money,” Ewurabena alleged.

“But this time, the majority of voters in Ablekuma North voted for change, for development, and they voted massively for Ewurabena Aubynn.”

The EC’s decision to hold a rerun follows the NDC’s concerns over the use of scanned Pink Sheets by the NPP as part of the results.

According to the EC, the scanned Pink Sheets from 19 polling stations lacked proper verification from Presiding Officers, even though party agents had signed off on them.

The Commission has assured the public of a peaceful and transparent process, with the Ghana Police Service providing security.

Speaking on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem, Mr Oppong Nkrumah claimed the EC’s decision points to political interference, accusing the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) of manipulation.

“I’m surprised. Weeks ago, the EC assured Parliament there was no need for a rerun and only requested security for collation. We even petitioned the police to assist. Now, within two weeks, they’re calling for a rerun. It’s glaring that there is some form of manipulation,” he said.

He further questioned the conduct of the police under the new Inspector General of Police (IGP), whom he alleged was appointed under NDC influence.

“How can the new IGP, appointed by the NDC, provide security for the re-run but couldn’t do so for the collation process? This raises more questions than answers,” he added.

The Electoral Commission has scheduled the rerun for July 11, 2025, following prolonged disputes over the December 7, 2024, parliamentary results between NPP’s Nana Akua Afriyie and NDC’s Ewurabena Aubynn.

Speaking on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem, the former MP insisted that she won the 2024 parliamentary election “fair and square,” citing results from all pink sheets in her possession.

According to her, the collation process was nearly complete before the EC abruptly announced the rerun, a move she described as being in “bad faith.”

“I will never accept this rerun, but I dare them to go ahead with this election—and from A to Z, everybody will clap for me. The constituents love me and voted for me, and that is why I won the election,” she said.

Nana Akua also vowed that the NPP would resist any attempts by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to overturn what she believes is the legitimate will of the people. She accused the EC of setting a dangerous precedent.

“The person who has to come from Tamale to vote—where will he or she get money from? This is not good for democracy. We are setting a bad precedent, because in 2028, someone will cause mayhem, destroy ballot papers, and get away with it because we will consider a rerun,” she fumed.

The EC’s decision to schedule the rerun on July 11, 2025, comes after months of disputes over the authenticity of results from the December 7, 2024, election. The process has been marred by tensions and mutual accusations between Nana Akua and her main rival, Ewurabena Aubynn of the NDC.

Describing the initiative as bipartisan, Osei Akoto believes it offers the surest path for Ghana to compete globally in terms of productivity and development.

Speaking in an interview after the official launch of the policy—also known as the 24H+ Agenda—on July 2, 2025, Osei Akoto said Ghana loses more value during its sleeping hours compared to its productive hours.

“The 24-Hour Economy has been the mantra and policy we have been marketing over the years, and every Ghanaian knows it. So people who say it’s an afterthought are mistaken. What we are telling Ghanaians is that the only way to expand the economy, to create opportunities, is to move beyond the current 8-hour system. We should be working for 24 hours.

“The country shouldn’t sleep. The hours we use to sleep are monies gone. If we want to be part of the 21st-century global economy, then we must open up the country by ensuring we are working around the clock,” he explained.

Calling for public support, Henry Osei Akoto said the launch marks the fulfilment of a key campaign promise by President Mahama.

He added that the 24-Hour Economy will create massive employment opportunities, especially for the youth, and significantly enhance productivity.

“This launch by the president is a laudable idea. We all remember that before the election, he promised to expand the economy, create jobs for the youth, and generate more money into the economy through this policy. Today’s launch affirms that promise. Ghanaians should support it,” he said.

He cited examples from around the world to stress the viability of the initiative.

“It is happening everywhere in the world. You don’t go to Europe and see the whole country asleep after 10 p.m. No. Even in Africa—go to Egypt, go to Morocco and see what is happening there. We must embrace this because it is a good thing that will open up our economy and bring prosperity,” he added.

The 24-Hour Economy and Accelerated Export Development Programme, or 24H+, is a flagship initiative of the Mahama administration. It aims to re-engineer Ghana’s productivity framework by extending economic activity beyond traditional working hours while integrating key sectors into a seamless and efficient value chain.

The transformative programme comes with a projected cost of $4 billion, with the government committing between $300 million and $400 million as seed capital to cover viability gaps and attract private sector investment.

The re-run is set for Friday, July 11, 2024.

In a press release, the Commission explained that the decision is part of efforts to resolve the impasse caused by the delayed declaration of results nearly seven months after the general election.

Pledging its commitment to a transparent and credible process, the EC urged all stakeholders—especially political parties and their supporters—to cooperate fully to ensure a peaceful and credible election.

Below is the full list:

Speaking at the official launch of the initiative in Accra, President Mahama said the irrigation project forms the foundation of Grow 24, a key pillar of the 24-hour economy agenda focused on modernising agriculture through technology and sustainable practices.

He explained that Grow 24 will facilitate all-year-round farming and lead to the creation of agro-industrial parks across the country.

These parks will support value addition, agro-processing, packaging, and improved market access—ultimately reducing post-harvest losses.

President Mahama described the programme as a bold step toward achieving food self-sufficiency and increasing agricultural exports. It will also enhance farmer cooperatives, mechanisation, and access to improved seeds and inputs.

The broader 24-hour economy, he said, is designed to boost productivity across agriculture, manufacturing, services, and the creative arts. It will be supported by investments in infrastructure, financing, and digital connectivity to ensure round-the-clock operations and job creation.

In a statement, the Commission explained that the re-run, scheduled for Friday, July 11, 2025, follows a meeting with key stakeholders, including representatives of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

According to the EC, although results from the affected polling stations were approved by party agents, they were not verified by the Returning Officers, prompting the need for a fresh vote in those areas.

The Commission also requested that the Ghana Police Service provide the necessary security to ensure a peaceful and transparent process.

The final declaration of results in the constituency has been delayed due to outstanding issues with three of the 281 polling stations, which have significantly stalled the collation process.

Both the NPP and the NDC have claimed victory in what has become one of the most disputed parliamentary contests of the 2024 elections.

Tensions peaked on January 8, 2025, when the Returning Officer for the constituency resigned following a standoff over discrepancies in some pink sheets.

Since then, the EC has suspended the collation process seven times, citing security concerns amidst confrontations between party supporters.

The Commission previously stated it would only consider a re-run after completing the collation of all polling station results—a measure it described as a last resort.

According to Mr. Hadzide, open endorsements often promote personal ambitions over the collective interests of the party and risk sowing division among members.

“Bryan Acheampong is deliberate about not creating division based on fake and procured endorsements. Open endorsements often occur, but they tend to serve personal interests rather than the collective interests of the party, which can lead to division. If someone has something to say, they should personally meet with the delegates instead of using national radio or TV to publicly declare support for someone.

“The delegates are smart; they understand that some people make open endorsements in pursuit of political appointments. The people want empowerment at the local level. If Bryan Acheampong had wanted open endorsements, he would have received many. Some individuals even call Bryan before making public endorsements, which leads us to believe that many of these endorsements are not genuine,” he said in an interview on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show.

Mr. Hadzide urged party leaders to refrain from public displays of bias and instead engage directly with delegates, warning that disunity could derail the NPP’s chances of victory in the 2028 elections.

“I personally wish that some of our leaders would refrain from openly displaying bias and instead engage directly with the delegates. This approach would help prevent mistrust or suspicion, which could lead to division and hinder our unity and victory. Ultimately, the person who wins the flagbearer position will not be able to accomplish the task alone; we will all need to work together,” he noted.

“Bryan Acheampong is a well-rounded individual who is dynamic, results-oriented, disciplined, and decisive. We urge party members to recognize that this campaign is not about hate, but rather about achieving victory for the party and ensuring that all Ghanaians benefit from his government. We ask all Ghanaians to listen to his plans and vote for him. He will unify the NPP and lead us to success. He is truly resourceful,” he said.

She warned that the rising indiscipline among the youth poses a serious threat to Ghana’s future and called for urgent attention.

“The growing trend of disrespect and lack of discipline among young people must be addressed immediately,” she said.

Nana Afia Serwaa further called on traditional leaders, educators, and policymakers to work together to uphold discipline and moral standards for the benefit of future generations.

This followed the presentation of the facility to the House on Tuesday, July 1, by Deputy Finance Minister and MP for Asuogyaman, Thomas Nyarko Ampem.

The facility is aimed at enhancing citizens’ livelihoods, boosting economic growth, maintaining macroeconomic stability, curbing inflation, and supporting the country’s ongoing economic recovery efforts.

While the Finance Committee recommended the approval, Ranking Member on the Committee on Economy and Development, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, criticised the move, accusing the government of using semantics to obscure what he described as a loan agreement.

The approval came after the House adopted the Finance Committee’s report on the proposed funding arrangement.

Speaking on JoyNews’ The Pulse on Tuesday, July 1, Mr Mohammed accused the NDC of hypocrisy, arguing that their recent rhetoric does not match their actions in government.

“Let us be factual and let the people know that your reset is to persecute, and that’s what they are doing. It has nothing to do with thanking God,” he said in response to earlier comments from NDC Deputy General Secretary Mustapha Gbande, who claimed that while Ghanaians were renewing their minds in Christ, the NPP remained fixated on politics and numbers.

Mr Mohammed clarified that the concept of a national day of prayer is not new and was already introduced under President Akufo-Addo during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“On the 25th of March, 2020, His Excellency Akufo-Addo declared a National Day of Prayer, and this was done across the length and breadth of Ghana. We thanked God, and we prayed to God over a befallen pandemic. So this is not the first time,” he stated.

He added that while the NPP participated in the recent prayer service organised by President John Mahama, the NDC failed to reciprocate during similar events under the previous government.

“They [NDC] didn’t come to thank God when we did ours,” he noted.
“Now they talk about a peaceful election—he should have been clapping for us. If we [NPP] had behaved the way they did during the elections, Ghana would be in a different state.”

Mr Mohammed also raised concerns about worsening insecurity in parts of the country, questioning the NDC’s claims of peace under its administration.

“In his own region, Oti, people cannot sleep. They are killing them day in and day out. Bawku has escalated—peace does not exist in that place,” he said.

Touching on the economy, he dismissed Mr Gbande’s optimism about improvements in the cedi’s performance, citing the high cost of living.

“You talk about the cedi to dollar—but rent has not changed, food prices have not changed, cement prices have not changed,” Mr Mohammed pointed out.
“Ghana’s democracy is deteriorating, and we should be worried.”

He further argued that beyond symbolic gestures, the NDC’s current approach—particularly in its treatment of dissenting voices and the imposition of bail conditions—suggests a government more interested in control than reconciliation.

Speaking in an interview on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, Mr. Hadzide warned that if the party chooses a candidate without careful consideration, past controversies associated with that person could be used as a reference point to undermine the campaign.

“If we’re not careful and select just anyone, every time an old issue comes up, they’ll link it to our candidate. That can cost us dearly,” he said.

According to him, the decision to change a candidate should not be taken lightly, but must be aimed at helping the NPP win power in the 2028 elections.

“This is not about change for change’s sake. It’s about change that gives us a real shot at winning power in 2028 — for the sake of everyone in the party,” he added.

Mr. Hadzide stressed the need for deep thinking and unity in choosing a candidate, stressing that the party must select someone who appeals broadly to members across all levels.

“That’s why I believe Bryan Acheampong is the best option. He’s young, relatable, and well-liked by everyone in the party. I don’t think there’s anyone in the party who can say they have a problem with Bryan. He’s helped a lot of people — financially and otherwise.”

He described Bryan Acheampong, the Member of Parliament for Abetifi and former Minister for Food and Agriculture, as a “great unifying force” with no bad blood or divisions linked to his name.

“If there must be a change, then it must be Bryan. He represents boldness, unity, and forward-thinking. We need a leader who can take a decision and stand by it — Bryan is that kind of person,” Mr. Hadzide stressed.

“Where we are now, we need a man to lead us — and Bryan Acheampong is our best bet,” he concluded.

Mr. Acheampong has already declared his intention to contest the NPP’s flagbearer race ahead of the 2028 general elections.

He made the announcement during a meeting with the leadership of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, where he sought their prayers and blessings.

Meanwhile, the New Patriotic Party has scheduled its presidential primaries for Saturday, January 31, 2026, following a National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting held on Tuesday, June 17, 2025.

Speaking in an interview on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, Mr. Hadzide expressed concern about the party’s current standing, saying it was not where they hoped to be.

However, he remained confident that the NPP had always been the better choice for Ghanaians.

“Ask anyone — even our opponents will admit it — Ghanaians prosper more under NPP governments,” he stated.

He stressed several key policies and interventions introduced under various NPP administrations to support his claim.

These include the introduction of free basic education from primary to junior high school under former President John Agyekum Kufuor, and the school feeding programme which continues to support thousands of school children across the country.

“Who introduced school feeding? It was the NPP. Who made it possible for your child to go to school without paying a dime from primary to JHS? It was President Kufuor’s NPP government,” Mr. Hadzide noted.

He also cited the establishment of the Metro Mass Transit system, which he said greatly improved public transport and eased mobility for many citizens.

“Metro Mass was another NPP initiative — these are things that made life better for the ordinary Ghanaian,” he added.

Touching on more recent achievements, Mr. Hadzide pointed to the Free Senior High School (Free SHS) policy introduced by President Nana Akufo-Addo as a major relief for many families.

“Free SHS is one of the biggest social interventions in our history — it was the NPP that brought it,” he stated.

According to him, businesses also thrived under the NPP due to favorable policies and stable governance.

While acknowledging that there may have been “minor hitches” during the party’s tenure, he insisted that the overall impact of NPP governments had always been positive.

“Even if there were challenges, the truth is that NPP governments make life easier for Ghanaians. Businesses grow, children go to school, and families get some breathing space,” he explained.

Mr. Hadzide warned that the current conditions under the NDC government could lead the country back into hardship if Ghanaians were not careful.

“We are not in government today, and if we don’t work hard to return in 2028, Ghanaians may fall back into the mess we’ve seen before,” he cautioned.

He called on all NPP members to unite and work hard toward a return to power in the next election to continue improving the lives of Ghanaians.

Speaking to the media after presenting the petition on Tuesday, July 31, PNP leader Janet Nabila condemned the circumstances surrounding the Chief Justice’s suspension.

She accused the Mahama administration of trying to exert undue control over all three arms of government and described the suspension process as “a political witch hunt.”

Janet Nabila expressed concern about what she sees as a pattern of victimisation against women, warning that the ordeal faced by Justice Torkornoo threatens Ghana’s democratic and judicial integrity.

“We came to Manhyia to petition the Asantehene because we believe our traditional authorities must intervene when state institutions fail. As women, we are deeply disturbed that a female Chief Justice is being targeted in this way. I wept listening to her speak about her suffering,” she said.

She also criticised the timing of the government’s actions, pointing to the National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving.

“You cannot genuinely pray and give thanks while acting with such vindictiveness. What we need is a National Day of Repentance,” she added.

Responding to claims of bias for not speaking out during the removal of former Electoral Commission Chairperson Charlotte Osei, Nabila denied any double standards, insisting the PNP’s position is based on principle, not politics.

The party is calling on Otumfuo Osei Tutu II to use his moral authority and influence to ensure justice and fairness in the ongoing process.

This initiative aims to promote Ghana’s cultural identity and make legislative proceedings more inclusive and accessible.

Speaking at the launch of the Open Parliament Action Plan, the Speaker highlighted the importance of language in national development and democratic participation.

“No society develops with the language of another society. We want our language to be heard on the floor. So, we are going to start very soon,” Mr. Bagbin stated.

He explained that Parliament’s Standing Orders already allow MPs to use their native tongues as long as they provide an English translation.

“It is captured in our standing orders for all MPs to use their mother tongue, provided they can symphoniously translate into the official language of English,” he added.

To facilitate this change, the Speaker announced plans to recruit language experts and interpreters who will offer real-time translations during debates.

“Very soon, we will employ experts in these languages to come and support us as translators,” he confirmed.

A statement issued by his lawyer, Gideon Tettey Tetteh, stated that Mr. Moore has not received any payment of $800,000 from Mr. Kang, dismissing the claims as falsehoods.

“Allegations that Mr. Moore solicited funds from Mr. Kang for political purposes, particularly in connection with the 2024 NDC campaign, are patently false.

“Fundraising efforts for the campaign were conducted transparently by the ‘Monitor and Win’ committee to boost grassroots participation and reward hardworking party members,” the statement said.

It added that the former Adentan MP is, in fact, a victim of a massive fraud allegedly perpetrated by Mr. Kang, who has been on remand for the past five weeks.

According to the statement, Ashie Moore and his business partners filed a complaint with the Greater Accra Regional Police Command, accusing Mr. Kang of defrauding them of about $3 million under false pretences.

The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) is also reportedly investigating separate claims that Mr. Kang stole an additional $2.8 million from the group.

The statement further denied allegations that Mr. Moore extorted money, seized Mr. Kang’s passport, or assaulted him—describing such claims as baseless and defamatory.

Meanwhile, Mr. Moore’s legal team has petitioned the Attorney General to take over the case, citing the magnitude of the matter as beyond the remit of the police.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Date: 1st July 2025
Accra – Ghana

RE: RESPONSE TO PROF. KWEKU AZAR ALLEGATIONS AGAINST MR. EMMANUEL NII ASHIE MOORE — CALL FOR CALM AND RESPECT FOR LEGAL PROCESS.

The attention of Mr. Emmanuel Nii Ashie Moore and his legal team has been drawn to a series of unfounded allegations circulating in sections of the media and public discourse, purporting to suggest misconduct, extortion, political abuse of state institutions, and human rights violations in connection with an ongoing criminal matter involving Mr. Toh You Kang, a Singaporean national.

We wish to unequivocally state the following:

1. Background to the Matter.- RCID/AR CASE R/O NO: 222/2025

In May 2025, Mr. Emmanuel Nii Ashie Moore lodged a formal complaint with the Greater Accra Regional Command of the Ghana Police Service against Mr. Toh You Kang, citing defrauding by false pretence. Following preliminary investigations, Mr. Kang was remanded in lawful custody and has remained on remand for the past five weeks.

Subsequently, a related complaint of stealing was filed with the Economic and Commercial Crime Office. Owing to the complexity and magnitude of the alleged fraud totaling over USD 5.8 million both dockets were recommended for consolidation and referred to the Attorney General’s Department for legal advice and prosecutorial determination.

This process was carried out in accordance with the laws of Ghana, devoid of interference or political influence.

2. Response to Key Allegations

a. No Receipt of USD 800,000 for ECG Contracts:
Mr. Moore never received $800,000 from Mr. Toh You Kang for purposes of securing contracts from the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG). Rather, Mr. Kang misrepresented himself as a legitimate investor and defrauded Mr. Moore and his business partners.

b. No Coercion for Political Contributions:
Allegations that Mr. Moore solicited funds from Mr. Kang for political purposes, particularly in connection with the 2024 NDC campaign, are patently false. Fundraising efforts for the campaign were conducted transparently by ‘Monitor and Win’ committee to boost grassroots participation and reward hardworking party members.

c. No False Invitation or Assault:
Mr. Kang is a regular visitor to Ghana and was lawfully arrested based on the criminal complaint. There is no evidence of assault, extortion, or coercion during or after his arrest.

d. Legal Representation and Human Rights:
At all times, Mr. Kang has had access to multiple lawyers, has not been denied communication with family(and with his Mobile phone whilst in Police custody), and has been treated in full compliance with Ghanaian law and human rights standards.

e. False Image Circulation Claims:
Accusations that Mr. Moore circulated semi-nude images of Mr. Kang to extort his family are entirely false, malicious, and defamatory. Mr. Kang has been in lawful police custody throughout.

3. Institutional Integrity and the Rule of Law

As a senior political figure and respected entrepreneur, Mr. Emmanuel Nii Ashie Moore has demonstrated unwavering trust in Ghana’s legal institutions by submitting himself to due process and refraining from any self-help or political manipulation. He believes firmly that justice must be served through independent, lawful, and transparent mechanisms.

Ghana’s law enforcement agencies, including the Police and the Economic and Commercial Crime Office(CID), have handled this matter with professionalism, neutrality, and respect for legal thresholds. The Attorney General’s Department, the constitutionally mandated authority, now has carriage of the matter, and we await their considered advice and direction.

4. Political Neutrality and Investment Climate

Mr. Moore(a successful entrepreneur and politician)remains committed to safeguarding Ghana’s reputation as a safe and welcoming destination for genuine foreign investment. However, our institutions must not be used as sanctuaries for individuals who exploit diplomatic, commercial, or political goodwill to perpetrate financial crimes.

Allegations of political interference or state abuse serve only to undermine public confidence in our democracy and institutions, and we urge the public to treat such narratives with the skepticism they deserve.

5. Call for Calm and Due Process

No individual is above the law, and equally, no individual should be vilified or defamed without evidence. The matter involving Mr. Toh You Kang is now within the lawful domain of the Attorney General’s Department, and we call on all well-meaning Ghanaians to respect the process and refrain from politicizing what is clearly a commercial and criminal dispute.

6. Conclusion

We reiterate that, in Ghana, no individual is above the law, nor is any person beneath its protection. As officers of the court and custodians of our democracy, we urge the public and the media to uphold the sanctity of due process, resist sensationalism, and allow justice to take its natural course.

Let truth prevail, and let the institutions of our Republic function without interference or distortion. We remain confident that justice will be served.

Signed,
Gideon Tettey Tetteh, Esq.
Legal Counsel to Mr. Emmanuel Nii Ashie Moore

The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has announced the introduction of a 15% Value Added Tax (VAT) on non-life insurance premiums, effective July 1, 2025. The new tax will apply to policies covering areas such as property, health, and travel, though motor insurance will remain exempt.

The policy forms part of measures outlined in the 2025 national budget aimed at broadening the tax base and increasing revenue for essential public services. In line with this, Enterprise Insurance has announced that it will implement the 15% VAT along with an additional 6% levy on all non-motor insurance policies, as mandated by the VAT (Amendment) Act, 2023 (Act 1107).

In a media interview, Dr. Agyemang issued an urgent appeal to President John Mahama to halt the rollout of the tax increases, describing them as a combined 21% tax burden on non-life insurance policies. He noted that the measure comes at a time when public interest in insurance remains worryingly low.

He cautioned that imposing such levies would not only discourage current and potential policyholders but could also drive smaller, local insurance providers—many of which already operate on narrow profit margins—into collapse.

“This policy will hit Ghanaian-owned businesses the hardest,” Dr. Agyemang warned. “If these companies fold, we’re not just losing businesses—we’re losing thousands of jobs and displacing skilled professionals.”

He further emphasized the strategic role of the insurance sector in ensuring economic stability and employment, pointing out that many of the most vulnerable companies are indigenous and form the backbone of the industry.

Dr. Agyemang urged President Mahama to suspend the planned tax and instead engage with industry stakeholders in constructive dialogue to explore more sustainable revenue strategies that do not endanger local enterprises or livelihoods.

“This is a time for inclusive policy-making,” he said. “Let us work together to support homegrown businesses—not tax them out of existence.”

His remarks come amid growing unease among players in the insurance industry, who fear the new tax regime could undermine recent efforts to increase insurance penetration and rebuild public trust in the sector.

In a passionate post on Facebook, Awuku described the new institute as “a call to action, a fresh chapter, a bolder vision, and a rekindled patriotism,” adding that it could transform the party’s future direction and inject much-needed energy after its 2024 defeat.

He credited past and current party executives with finally bringing a long-cherished dream to life, praising them for creating a space to reflect, rebuild, and reposition for what he believes will be a triumphant return to power.

“In the face of every great comeback is a moment of deep reflection and strategic renewal,” Awuku wrote, urging supporters to “learn, rebuild, and arise again” for victory in 2028.

The Patriotic Institute is designed as a think-and-learn hub to train and develop party talent, sharpen ideological focus, and mentor the next generation of political leaders.

Plans include policy brainstorming sessions, leadership bootcamps, seminars on governance and democracy, and an archive chronicling the NPP’s historical journey.

According to party insiders, the institute is expected to energize the grassroots, redefine party strategy, and supply fresh intellectual firepower for the next electoral battle.

With the NPP in rebuilding mode after losing in 2024, Awuku’s rallying cry has struck a chord among supporters looking for a reset.

He ended his message with a note of determination: “Let’s arise again for a great comeback in 2028.”

But it was not yet an operational launch, which would have meant the network was live for public consumption from that date. As we speak today, it has been six months since the “launch,” but there is still no live public 5G network in Ghana.

Speaking of live 5G network, the then Minister of Communications and Digitalization, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, under whose tenure the ceremonial launch was done, gave a December 2024 deadline for all three telcos in Ghana – MTN, Telecel and AT Ghana, to roll out live 5G networks for public consumption.

She said the network was ready and so if by December 2024, any telco was not offering 5G, then customers should question that telco.

In spite of that bold statement, six months have passed and we still don’t have a live 5G network anywhere in Ghana yet.

Initially, the deadline for the live rollout was extended to January 2025, then to May 2025. Recently, the new sector Minister, Sam George, made a public announcement that the sole wholesaler for the 4G/5G network in Ghana, NGIC has assured him that 5G will go live in Ghana in June 2025, which is this month.

He then stated that he is going to hold them to that deadline, and if they fail there will be consequences, which may include a possible review of the 10-year exclusive licensing terms.

The Minister did state that he is not a fan of terminating contracts and licenses, particularly because such actions have financial consequences for the state.

But he will not hesitate to review the terms of the license if it becomes necessary.

NGIC itself has not made any public statement as to when the network will go live, but even if we took the Minister’s word for it, the month of June is gone, and we still don’t have a live public 5G network anywhere in Ghana.

So, what are the operational and regulatory hurdles that have been in the way of 5G going live in Ghana?

Operational issues

Tower rollout

According to Honourable Sam George, NGIC assured him that by June they would have rolled out at least 350 cell sites, comprising of 200-250 sites in Accra and 100-150 sites in Kumasi, out of which at least 50 will be 5G sites, adding that he is looking forward to nothing less than what they promised.

But at the last count, NGIC had rolled out only up to 22 cell sites, mainly in Accra and Kumasi, which is a far cry from the promise, and woefully inadequate to ensure a meaningful impact across the country.

But we are reliably informed that all the equipment needed to roll out the 350 cell sites is in country and has been warehoused here, waiting for several regulatory approvals to make their rollout worthwhile for the stakeholders.

Rolling out such equipment and managing it costs a lot of money in the form of monthly fees and utility bills. A typical example of such a bad business decision was when Glo first came to Ghana – they rolled out cell sites to cover 90% of the country, even though there was no real guarantee of customer presence across the country.

In the end, they had to decommission a lot of the sites even before the company finally collapsed.

So, if regulatory approvals for industry players to connect to the shared platform and use the sites are still pending, it would not make commercial sense to roll them out immediately.

What is important is that the equipment is here and ready to be rolled out.

Hesitation from Towercos

Again, NGIC and tower companies (towercos) – mainly ATC and Helios Towers – are yet to finalize agreements to ensure that the towercos will make their towers available for the rollout of 4G and 5G networks across the country.

Towercos, who are critical to site deployment, remain hesitant to fully commit to NGIC’s rollout, largely due to the historic financial losses in the Ghanaian telecom market.

Specifically, significant unpaid obligations from legacy telcos such as AT Ghana and Telecel Ghana—who continue to struggle under the SMP-dominated market structure—have made towercos risk-averse and reluctant to expose themselves to further credit exposure without robust guarantees and reform.

It would be recalled that the Minister recently announced that ATC alone presented a bill of GHS1.5 billion, which is the debt owed by AT Ghana alone, not to mention how much Telecel owes ATC.

So, the towercos are apprehensive about entering into another relationship with NGIC, which may lead to more unpaid bills and fees.

However, all of this underscores the importance of NGIC’s neutral-host model as a pathway to reduce financial fragmentation and ensure centralized accountability.

The shared model promises to reduce the financial burden on operators and therefore mitigate the incidence of operators piling up debt to towercos.

It also highlights the need for intentional regulatory support to rebuild investor confidence in Ghana’s telecoms market.

The regulator and the government are not oblivious to these challenges and what policy decisions they can bring to bear on this matter in the common interest of the industry and of Ghana.

Instead, it appears that the licensed wholesaler has been left on its own to negotiate that difficult curve and meet deadlines, which cannot happen without certain specific regulatory interventions.

Delays in NOC inspection report and network certification

For instance, NCA completed a technical inspection of the Network Operation Centre (NOC) and backup facilities at NGIC several weeks before they issued an official report and certification to NGIC. This very important report is a prerequisite for full operational clearance.

But from our understanding, it took at least eight weeks before that report was delivered to the operator, and that has also impacted the operator’s ability to meet deadlines.

Pending regulatory issues

There are very critical aspects of the operational issues that require major regulatory approvals, guidelines and directives for them to happen; and these are known to the regulator and the Minister.

Delays in SIMs and PLMN approval for testing

For example, the National Communications Authority (NCA) has so far granted limited approval for testing purposes, specifically authorizing 50 SIM cards for the wholesaler to begin network testing.

These SIM cards are currently in the provisioning phase.

Additionally, the NCA has approved the use of a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), but strictly for testing. The PLMN is a critical component, as it enables the final configuration of the network, system integration, and interoperability testing with partner entities.

It is important to note that these are not the substantive approvals required for full commercial deployment.

There was a significant delay in securing even these initial testing approvals, and that delay has already had a tangible impact on the overall rollout timeline. The core authorizations necessary for full-scale operations are still pending.

Spectrum Interference 

There is persistent interference with the allocated spectrum, which continues to affect network stability and quality.

Without a clean and interference-free spectrum, there is no guarantee of reliable service to customers even if the network is launched today.

Specifically speaking, there was an interference in the 3.5GHz spectrum from Ghana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) satellite receiver because the operator’s tower is located behind airport shell filling station in Accra.

We are aware that just recently, the NCA managed to get GCAA to shift its frequency to 3.9GHz, which is a bit farther away from the NGIC spectrum band. So, now testing is ongoing before NGIC can get the green light to move forward with that.

The other challenge is with the 2.1GHz spectrum allocated to the operator. Simply put, there is a “raised noise floor” in that spectrum, which will interfere with any communication signal.

Here is how an expert explained “raised noise floor” in layman’s language:

Imagine you’re in a very quiet room trying to hear someone whisper from across the room. Even when no one is talking, there’s still some background sound — maybe a humming fridge, outside wind, or distant traffic, which makes it difficult for you to hear the whisper. That constant background sound is the noise floor in a system.

In electronics or communication systems (like radios, microphones, or cell phones), there’s always a tiny amount of unwanted random signal — like static or electronic hiss — even when no real signal is being sent. This is called system noise.

If the system noise is higher than the voice signal during a call, it will be hard for you to hear each other’s voices. It’s like trying to hear a whisper during a loud concert.

We are aware that after several months of collaborative testing and diagnosis, the NCA has now localized the issue. The exact source of the noise has still not been identified yet, but further investigations are underway. However, this far the current state of the spectrum allows NGIC to operate within the band without significant interference.

Is it possible that some saboteurs are deliberately causing this interference? Yes! But that cannot be proved yet.

Approval and Guidelines for Telcos and ISPs to Connect

At the recent meeting with CEOs of the telcos, Sector Minister Sam George made the following statement:

“The regulator [NCA] has brought to my attention a request for connecting entity licenses so that the likes of AT and Telecel that are pretty constrained spectrum-wise, could immediately take advantage of some resources on the NGIC platform. MTN is also welcome if they are interested in taking part in those resources.”

That was a clear confirmation that the critical regulatory intervention, such as connecting entity approvals for telcos and policy guidelines for internet service providers (ISPs) has not yet been granted.

To date:

• No approvals have been granted to the two telcos (AT and Telecel) who have applied to participate in NGIC’s wholesale network.
• No regulatory framework or policy has been issued to guide ISP participation in delivering retail 4G/5G services over NGIC’s infrastructure.

These omissions mean that NGIC is legally and operationally constrained from commencing the necessary technical configuration and integration processes with participating retail service providers (telcos and ISPs).

We are aware that the regulator is working on it. But the fact as of today is that that is pending.

Configuration Timeline and Market Readiness

Once the required regulatory approvals and policy frameworks are in place, our understanding is that NGIC will require a minimum of 6–8 weeks to conduct technical configuration, integration and Mobility/FWA testing.

Only then can commercial wholesale services be launched to participating telcos and ISPs. Until we get to that point, the infrastructure—despite being warehoused and ready—is effectively idle, which delays Ghana’s ability to benefit from the advantages of shared 4G/5G infrastructure.

Deadline vs KPIs

So, it brings us back to the Minister’s June deadline statement and subtle threat to review the license if the deadline is not met.

Moreover, per the key performance indicators for NGIC, they have at least a 3-year initial period to meet specific targets before their work can be subjected to regulatory scrutiny.

The three years must be honoured, particularly in the face of all the hurdles and deliberate attempts by some industry players to make the whole arrangement fail.

So, in our humble opinion, what the sector minister should be doing in the interest of Ghanaians is to ensure that the regulator is playing its role timely to clear the regulatory hurdles and make way for Ghanaians to start experiencing 5G soon.

Setting deadlines are important to ensure that operators are held accountable for their commitments. But the deadlines should first be set on the regulator to fulfil its part of the deal, then we can confidently hold the operator to the deadlines.

Anything short of that would not do much if the regulatory hurdles persist. We are fully confident in the Minister and the regulator that they will deal with these issues in the interest of the public.

We are aware that work is being done to address these challenges.

Looking Ahead to Strategic Benefits of the Shared Platform Model

For the Regulator and Government

• Reduces the burden of infrastructure redundancy and enables policy-driven digital inclusion.
• Helps address the market dominance of the significant market power (SMP) through open-access mechanisms.
• Creates a transparent licensing and compliance regime across Telcos and ISPs.

For Telcos and ISPs

• Access to a national network without the cost of individual infrastructure deployment.
• Improved service quality and coverage while enabling cost-efficient market entry and growth.
• Offers a fairer, level playing field to compete with the SMP incumbent.

For Towercos and Investors

• A consolidated and accountable wholesale operator (NGIC) reduces credit risk.
• Provides clarity, scale, and stability to support long-term investment.
• Rebuilds trust in the telecom value chain by breaking the legacy of non-payment and instability, particularly for the towercos.

For Consumers

• Accelerates access to high-speed 4G and next-generation 5G services at lower costs.
• Improves service coverage, reliability, and performance—especially in underserved areas.
• Expands consumer choice by supporting a more competitive service provider ecosystem.

Conclusion and Call to Action

To fully unlock the transformational potential of the NGIC model, regulatory and policy action must now match the ambition of the infrastructure investment already made.

Ghana stands at a strategic crossroads; by enabling NGIC’s open-access model, it can dismantle monopolistic bottlenecks, revitalize investor and towerco confidence, and position itself as a digital infrastructure leader in West Africa.

Delays, if prolonged, risk not just NGIC’s rollout, but Ghana’s broader goals of digital transformation, economic competitiveness, and inclusive growth.

At a multi-stakeholder forum held in Accra on June 27, the two leading civil society organisations stressed the urgent need for a new Political Party Financing Law to improve transparency, curb illicit campaign funding, and expand political participation for marginalised groups, including women, youth, and persons with disabilities.

TI-Ghana and CDD-Ghana revealed that the cost of running for Parliament is now estimated at GHS 4 million, while presidential campaigns cost as much as US$100 million—a situation they say fuels corruption, undermines democracy, and blocks equal participation.

Among the key reforms proposed are:

• Defined campaign periods to limit excessive spending;

• Mandatory publication of campaign accounts;

• Limits on donations from individuals and foreign entities;

• Stronger enforcement mechanisms to prevent abuse of incumbency;

• Promotion of gender and youth inclusion through conditional state support.

The groups also advocated for the separation of political finance regulation from the Electoral Commission’s current mandate and called for verified donor identities to ensure transparency.

In addition to domestic reforms, TI-Ghana and CDD-Ghana urged the Government of Ghana to co-sponsor a resolution on Article 7.3 of the United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC) at the upcoming CoSP 11 in Doha, Qatar.

He made the remark during a candid conversation on JoyNews’ PM Express, following his thought-provoking lecture titled “Iniquities of Iniquity in Our Santa Claus Democracy.”

In his view, Ghana does not practice a homegrown democratic system but rather an imported template lacking the critical foundations that allow such systems to thrive elsewhere.

“We imported democracy without the foundations that made it work in the West,” Nsarkoh stated, drawing a clear distinction between form and substance.

“You don’t get a working democracy just because you put up ballot boxes and sing an anthem. If you haven’t built the underlying institutions, you’re playing a dangerous game.”

His argument is rooted in both historical context and political economy.

Unlike nations where modern democratic systems evolved after sustained industrialisation and capital accumulation, Ghana and much of Africa, he explained, attempted to graft democracy onto states still grappling with the hangover of colonialism and severe economic fragility.

“When modern European democracy took root, they were distributing wealth that had already been created. We didn’t have that. We started from under $3,000 per capita GDP. That’s a fundamentally different conversation,” he said.

Nsarkoh emphasised that democracy without a strong economic and institutional base degenerates into a transactional contest—what he termed “a public auction for the highest bidder.”

In such systems, he noted, the electorate is reduced to passive participants, voting every four years and then retreating into silence while elite groups trade power for personal gain.

He was especially critical of the idea that independence automatically conferred sovereignty.

“Kabral Blay-Amihere said it and got into a lot of trouble: what kind of independence do you really have if you don’t control your productive forces?” Nsarkoh asked.

“Having a dark-skinned president and a new anthem doesn’t mean you’ve achieved independence. You’re still navigating a distorted reality.”

Citing the work of political economist Claude Ake, Nsarkoh argued that African states did not emerge organically but were shaped by colonial disruptions, leaving behind weak and artificial structures.

“The post-colonial elite took over the facilities of the state and became the new colonialists. They looked after themselves,” he said. “That’s the deformity we’ve refused to confront.”

He lamented the collapse of local governance, describing it as symptomatic of a broader democratic decay.

“Look at the space we’re in—local government has essentially collapsed. Where is the citizen engagement? Where is the accountability?” Nsarkoh asked.

“We’ve built a system where people come to power not to serve, but to recover their campaign investments.”

At the heart of his message is a warning: Ghana’s democracy, if not radically rethought, risks becoming a hollow ritual.

“This Santa Claus democracy we’re practising is not sustainable,” he said.
“It feeds expectations but doesn’t deliver outcomes. It’s dangerous because it breeds disillusionment—and disillusionment is the seedbed of instability.”

The Elections Committee has approved 62 aspirants to contest various national and regional positions.

Thirteen candidates, including incumbent executives, are vying for national positions, while 49 others are contesting regional roles, following a thorough vetting process and a review of petitions against some aspirants.

Current President, Albert Kwabena Dwumfour, is seeking re-election against media trainer and consultant Charles Yao Mawusi.

Also, the current Public Relations Officer (PRO), Rebecca Ekpe, is in a stiff competition for the Vice President position with Mary Tawiah Mensah, the Foreign Editor of the Daily Graphic and a former GJA PRO.

The current Organising Secretary, Dominic Hlordzi, is contesting for the General Secretary position. He faces strong competition from Akwasi Agyeman, who works with Adom FM under the Multimedia Group and previously worked with the Despite Group.

Maxwell Kudekor, the former Eastern Regional Chairman, is contesting for the position of Organising Secretary against Suleiman Mustapha, Acting Editor of Graphic Business.

In the race for Treasurer, Bertha Badu-Agyei of the Ghana News Agency is facing off against Theodora Amedetor from the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC).

In the Ashanti Region, environmental journalist and News Editor with the Multimedia Group, Kofi Adu Domfeh, is competing against Georgina Ama Ankomah for the Chairperson position, while Kingsley Nana Buadu and David Yarboi-Tetteh are contesting the same post in the Central Region.

In an interview on JoyNews’ PM Express, following his provocative lecture “Iniquities of Iniquity in Our Santa Claus Democracy,” Nsarkoh argued that many of Africa’s early leaders inherited broken structures, faced uncharted terrain, and became pioneers without predecessors—and it shows.

“You take someone like Nkrumah—who was he learning from?” Nsarkoh asked.
“Whose mistakes could he study? These people were pioneers. They were navigating terrain with no compass, no predecessors, and no playbook. And we’re still paying for that.”

He argued that the failure of post-colonial democracy in Africa stems from this fundamental void—an elite class forced to build nations from the ruins of colonialism while simultaneously battling for survival in a global system stacked against them.

“Our democratic project started not with the control of sovereign productive forces but with a flag, an anthem, and a dark-skinned president,” he said, referencing Kabral Blay-Amihere. “That is not independence.”

For Nsarkoh, the rot is both systemic and historic.
“The colonial hangover is real,” he said.
“The post-colonial elite simply took over the levers of the state and became new colonialists. They built nothing for the people—they just inherited power and used it to look after themselves.”

He added that African democracies were constructed on “distorted realities.” Unlike Western democracies that emerged after centuries of capital accumulation and institutional development, Africa was expected to implement a system it had no foundation to sustain.

“The West started modern democracy when they already had wealth to distribute. Africa was forced into democracy while still crawling from under the wreckage of colonialism. It’s not the same conversation.”

Nsarkoh dismissed comparisons between Ghana and countries like Singapore as misleading.
“The starting points were different,” he explained.
“Singapore didn’t have to carry the same weight of colonial distortion. They weren’t starting with GDPs below $3,000 per capita and broken institutional memory. We were.”

He lamented the collapse of local government structures in Ghana and described the country’s current democratic practice as little more than “a public auction for the highest bidder.”

“What we have is not participation—it is transaction,” Nsarkoh said.
“Citizens are no longer participants in democracy. They are ballots, bought and sold.”

At the heart of his critique is a profound disillusionment with the elite consensus and its role in sustaining the illusion of democratic progress.

“We celebrate elections like they are proof of democracy. But what we have is Santa Claus democracy—a system of gifts and giveaways, not accountability,” he said.

Speaking in Parliament on Friday, June 27, Mahama Ayariga explained that although economic indicators such as inflation, fuel prices, and exchange rate levels have remained relatively stable, ECG’s growing financial challenges make the tariff adjustment unavoidable.

“Last year, there was an attempt to block the PURC from adjusting tariffs, so no adjustments were made during that period. Now, ECG is burdened with significant debt. If we don’t act by adjusting tariffs, ECG will collapse. They won’t have the funds to procure inputs needed to keep generators running, and this will lead to power outages,” he cautioned.

His remarks were in response to concerns from the Minority Caucus, who questioned the justification for the tariff hike amidst perceived economic improvements.

Mahama Ayariga emphasized that consumers must bear part of the cost of electricity production.

“The bills must be paid. Improved macroeconomic indicators don’t erase ECG’s debt. The PURC is only doing its job, and part of the burden must be shouldered by consumers,” he stated.

He also announced that the Minister for Energy and Green Transition will appear before Parliament next week to provide further explanation on the tariff review and its implications.

The new tariff is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.

Speaking on Joy FM’s Super Morning Show on Friday, Mr Cudjoe criticised the persistent politicisation of recruitment and dismissal processes within the public service, referencing the recent dismissal and subsequent reinstatement of staff at the Bank of Ghana.

“It is a technical thing that we need to stop. I don’t think it helps us,” he stated.

“I’m asking myself, when will this stop? I think it will stop when we show the public how recruitment is done in public service,” he added.

Mr Cudjoe had earlier expressed similar concerns in a Facebook post, where he condemned the reported dismissals at the Central Bank, suggesting they were politically motivated.

His comments reflect growing public concern over claims that individuals are often denied appointments or unfairly dismissed from public service based on real or perceived partisan affiliations.

He urged political leaders to pursue an inclusive and merit-based recruitment framework that prioritises competence and national interest over party loyalty.

In her new role, she will work closely with the Minister of Government Communications and Presidential Spokesperson, Felix Kwakye Ofosu.

Bridget announced her appointment in a Facebook post, expressing gratitude to President Mahama and First Lady Lordina Mahama for the recognition. She also extended thanks to Special Aide to the President, Joyce Bawa Mogtari, whom she described as having made her “a personal project,” as well as Deputy Chief of Staff Stan Xoese Dogbe, and the grassroots and foot soldiers of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

She pledged to leverage her expertise and commitment to advance national development.

“With all the faith and trust I have in the NDC government, I was deeply honoured to be considered for a role in helping shape its mandate once I was back on my feet.

“This appointment to serve at the Seat of Government as a Presidential Staffer, Government Communications, although earned through grit, dedication, and hard work, is still an incredible privilege. I intend to prove myself worthy for the duration of my service,” she wrote.

Speaking on Joy FM’s Super Morning Show on Friday, Mr. Kpebu argued that successive governments have historically treated the civil service as an extension of their political machinery, often placing individuals aligned with their agenda in key positions.

“We say the civil service is neutral, but it is not true. If you listen to and read papers from very high-ranking officials, when it comes to the civil service, they are partisan. They help the government in power,” he stated.

“So, when they help the government in power and the next one comes and says, ‘No, what you and the previous government were doing doesn’t align with my manifesto,’ you will go. So, when I hear people saying the civil service is neutral, I’m like, you’re joking.”

Mr. Kpebu’s comments come amid ongoing public debate over the recent dismissal and reinstatement of over 100 Bank of Ghana staff—a development that has revived discussions on political interference in public service employment.

He cautioned that political influence in the civil service is deeply ingrained and unlikely to be eliminated anytime soon.

“It can never totally go away, that one is clear, based on experience. From the nature of human beings, no, it cannot end,” he said.

Speaking on Accra-based Citi FM on Friday, June 27, Mr. Vanderpuye stated that each district now has a dedicated team of 17 individuals—comprising one coordinator and 16 equipment operators—to drive the implementation of DRIP, which focuses on rehabilitating roads in underserved communities.

He disclosed that all recruits are undergoing rigorous training to ensure the safe and efficient handling of heavy-duty equipment.

“Some of the people who were previously operating the machinery lacked adequate training,” he said. “There’s a lot to learn when managing equipment like tipper trucks. We want to get it right this time.”

Currently, regional coordinators are receiving orientation in Ada, with district coordinators scheduled to follow. In addition, all equipment operators nationwide will receive practical, hands-on training to build their capacity for the role.

Mr. Vanderpuye also revealed that President John Dramani Mahama has assured the team of a formal employment warrant. This would allow the recruits to be absorbed into the local government structure as official staff of the various district assemblies, enabling them to deliver effectively at the grassroots level.

The District Road Improvement Programme is a key part of the government’s plan to enhance rural connectivity, reduce transportation challenges, and promote economic development through improved infrastructure.

At a press conference in Ho, the group expressed their commitment to rally behind the former Minister for Food and Agriculture.

Speaking on behalf of the group, the Ho Central Women’s Organiser, Thelma Adzimah, described Dr. Acheampong as “a visionary, disciplined, and results-oriented leader who embodies the spirit of the next generation of NPP leadership.”

According to the executives, Dr. Acheampong is a leader who listens, respects the base, and consistently works to strengthen party structures—even at times when others stayed away.

“We, the grassroots of the NPP, declare: Hon. Dr. Bryan Acheampong is our choice, our hope, and our trusted leader. Let no one ignore the grassroots again — the future of the party depends on us.”

They indicated that Dr. Acheampong’s track record speaks for itself.

“He has empowered communities through initiatives such as borehole construction, farm inputs, and educational support. He has demonstrated his commitment to promoting education, healthcare, hospitality, and economic empowerment.

“He values the role of polling station executives, coordinators, and constituency leaders in building a winning party,” they lauded.

Meanwhile, they cautioned all presidential hopefuls, national executives, and former appointees against neglecting the grassroots, who are the true owners and builders of the NPP.

“The party’s success also relies on the polling station executives, foot soldiers, and coordinators who drive its machinery at the community level. Don’t overlook their importance.

“We call on all presidential hopefuls to engage directly with the grassroots and avoid assuming that endorsements from former government appointees represent the base.

“We urge the national leadership to conduct a free, fair, and transparent internal electioneering process that reflects the true will of party members. We appeal to all stakeholders to put party unity and grassroots empowerment above personal ambition,” they stated.
