Which Laws did the Auditor General Cite to have been Breached by the Chief Justice?

I have seen certain individuals within the NDC throw out a report alleged to have been the Auditor General's report which raised an issue faulting certain travels by the Chief Justice and her spouse. We are being told that the said report actually formed the basis upon which a primafacie determination was made against the Chief Justice of the Republic of Ghana. We know as a matter of fact that the Auditor General's reports are grouped into (1) Statutory Audit (2) Performance Audit and (3) Compliance Audit. Every proper Auditor General's Report either captures any of the above as stated…

Reflections on Odododiodio After the 2024 Elections Chapter One By IBRAHIM AYALA TACKIE

The 2024 general elections marked a pivotal moment in Ghana’s political history. The ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), determined to “break the 8,” faced a resounding defeat. Former President John Dramani Mahama returned to power, winning the presidential election, while the National Democratic Congress (NDC) secured a commanding majority in Parliament. The Odododiodio Constituency mirrored this national trend. Historically, the NDC has maintained dominance in Odododiodio, winning the parliamentary seat in every democratic election since 1992—except in 2000, when a young Reginald Niibi Ayi Bonte contested and won for the NPP. In the 2016 and 2020 elections, the NPP made…

Ghanaians must kiss the fight against galamsey goodbye

GHANAIANS MUST KISS THE FIGHT AGAINST GALAMSEY GOODBYE Many a Ghanaian had hoped that the coming into office of the Mahama administration would mark cusp for illegal mining activities to be brought considerably down if not halted across the country. What is happening now is a far cry from the savoury promises President Mahama made during the 2024 electioneering campaign. Ghanaians were promised an end to galamsey by John Mahama and his party leadership in the run-up to the 2024 elections. While we can all attest to the fact that galamsey activities have intensified since the NDC won power, the…

The evil NDC did to Akufo-Addo would shock the devil himself

In the run-up to the 2016 elections, the NDC, in August, in cahoots with Steve Mallory, the owner of Africa Watch Magazine, published damaging articles and stories about Akufo-Addo. The NDC paid huge sums of monies to Mallory for the publication of false news about his health. As you can see, these are some of the lies they published about then candidate Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo. They said Akufo-Addo had cancer, gave details of what kind of cancerous ailment he was suffering from. These were done to him just so Ghanaians wouldn’t see the need to vote for a…

Dear Mustapha Gbande! I bring you warm felicitations, and I hope this all-important piece finds you hale hearty as the Deputy General Secretary of the Ruling National Democratic Congress, NDC.

President Mahama’s Latest Move: Suspending the Chief Justice—A Dangerous Power Grab?

By Citizen Akoto The signs are impossible to ignore—President Mahama is gearing up to strike a major blow to Ghana’s judiciary. Word on the street is he’s set to suspend the Chief Justice today or tomorrow, pushing through a shady petition at lightning speed while brushing aside the real crises plaguing the nation. It’s a move that feels all too familiar, and it’s got people talking: is this just another chapter in Mahama’s ongoing vendetta against anyone who won’t bend to his will? Since taking office, Mahama’s strategy has been clear as day: purge anyone who doesn’t toe the line,…

Jean Mensa is the target of the NDC, not Gertrude Torkornoo, JSC.

The attempted removal of Chief Justice Gertrude Sackey Torkornoo is only a means to an end. In fact, from all indications, though she is as much hated by these NDC elements as the other persons appointed to man various institutions by President Akufo-Addo, the ultimate target is not the CJ. With Gertrude Torkornoo in place, the ruling NDC will find it impossible to get rid of Jean Mensa. Jean Mensa is the one they are hellbent to remove from office with her deputies. The Chief Justice who is law abiding and would never allow the Constitution of the Republic of…

Who is buying the weapons for the conflict in Bawku now?

Many continue to hold the view and promote the narrative that Ghana is a very peaceful country. They make this assertion without looking at what continues to plague our people in Bawku in Upper East. The age-long, seemingly never-ending conflict in the Bawku area has had a toll on the people living in and around the town. Thousands, if not millions, of lives have been lost through this conflict. Despite this prehistoric war between the two main ethnic groups, it has, over the past few years, been used as a tool by a group of politicians to win political…

The disco of doom and the PZ Adum fire

The sight of the burnt-out stores at PZ Adum breaks my heart. A place so full of life, now just ashes—it’s hard to take in. The fire didn’t just destroy buildings; it wiped out people’s hard work and money. And who knows when we’ll rebuild? From videos I’ve seen, people say the fire started because of some strange, flickering lights—like a disco gone wrong—that began early in the morning and led to the big blaze. It’s a tough lesson for us Ghanaians: we can’t let feelings alone decide how we vote. Elections affect our everyday lives, and we’re seeing that…

Arrest of Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah; How President John Dramani Mahama is Stifling Free Speech

For many a Ghanaian who believed President Mahama’s Reset mantra was to catapult the nation from what was bequeathed to him by Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to another enviable position. What we are witnessing, however, leaves so much to be desired. Just this evening, Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah, host of For The Records show, was picked up by operatives of the National Security. He was at GIMPA to write an examination and was soon picked up upon finishing the exams and was heading home. Afrifa’s Rambo-style arrest has come about as a result of his recent criticisms of the Mahama government.…
