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…

What Happens to the Implementation of the 24-hour economic policy with Electricity Tariff Hikes? – IERPP Fellow to Prez. Mahama

The Institute of Economic Research and Public Policy, IERPP, finds it difficult to marry President Mahama’s planned implementation of his promised 24-hour economy with the recent hikes in utility tariffs in general and electricity in particular. P.K. Sarpong, a Fellow at IERPP, in a post shared on his Facebook timeline, has questioned the governing party over how it intends to roll out the 24-hour economy with the new electricity tariff increase by 14.75%. “We need to remind President Mahama that he came to office promising to implement a wide range of policies and programmes to better the lives of Ghanaians.…

THE MAHAMA GOVERNMENT IS TRYING TO RUN AWAY FROM THE REAL ISSUES RAISED BY REV. NTIM FORDJUOR

There appears to be deliberate attempts by the Mahama administration to obfuscate the real issues underpinning the matters raised by Rev. Ntim Fordjuor. For some grotesque reasons, government’s functionaries have made strenuous efforts to dwarf the very and salient matters raised by the NPP MP as they have focused on whether some cocaines left the country or not and through which means. The Ranking Member on Parliament’s Defence and Interior Committee, asked government to allow the security agencies to provide a briefing to Parliament on investigations being conducted into high profile reported incidents, which are considered "serious" and are of…

Fiscal shock ahead: IERPP predicts GH¢7.1 billion revenue drop from tax reforms April 5, 2025

Prof. Isaac Boadi, Executive Director of the Institute for Economic Research and Public Policy (IERPP) and Dean of the Faculty of Accounting and Finance, has cautioned that the government’s proposed 2025 tax reforms, aimed at alleviating financial pressures on households and businesses, could cost Ghana between GH¢5.5 billion and GH¢7.1 billion in lost revenue, based on recent projections. While acknowledging the short-term relief these measures may provide through reduced taxes on essentials and low-income earners, Prof. Boadi stressed that failing to urgently implement compensatory fiscal strategies could destabilize public finances and undermine long-term economic resilience. He further emphasizes that IERPP…

Dominic Ayine, Edudzi Tamakloe as lawyers for ECG justified procurements without approval from PPA

Let it be known to the entire Ghanaian public that for the 8 years of President Akufo-Addo, the Electricity Company of Ghana, ECG, employed the services of Dominic Ayine and Edudzi Tamakloe. These two lawyers justified the numerous procurements by ECG without approvals from the Public Procurement Authority, PPA. The duo were paid thousands of dollars by ECG for the services they rendered to it. If today ECG is in the news for all the bad reasons, it is just fair that those who were their legal representatives ought to take the lion’s share of the blame. These containers which…

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…

Blame yourself and not Akufo-Addo for not getting appointed into his government: your impatience cost you.

A Letter to Lloyd Amoah. Dear Lloyd Amoah! You take delight in attacking former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo at the least opportunity, oftentimes presenting a very biased, lopsided view of whatever gingers you to heap vitriol on him. For the past 8 years, you appeared to have developed a jaundiced view of President Akufo-Addo without giving your readers and audience the other side of the real story behind your constant attacks and criticisms which are far from constructive. To those who follow you religiously and have been swallowing whatever you put out there as gospel, they have clearly been…

Mahama, NDC are Enemies to the rule of law

  President John Dramani Mahama, has once again, given impetus to the chameleonic lifestyle many have accused him of over the years. Behind his beamish smiles lies some sombrely shadowy, darkened exterior that has become more pronounced in his second term. The President, judging from his strenuous but clandestine efforts to remove the Chief Justice, Gertrude Sackey Torkornoo, one can only come to the momentous conclusion that he is anti-rule of law. It is more than glaring that the so-called petitions for the removal of the Chief Justice were orchestrated by himself. Mr. Mahama is using those nameless entities as…

Hypocrisy of Mahama Exposed as BoG Governor Hints of Global Factors Likely to Affect the Economy

Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Johnson Asiamah, has given the strongest indication of Ghana’s economy being affected by extraneous factors this year despite measures being adopted to strengthen it. According to the Governor, global factors could have spillover effects on inflation, capital flows and exchange rate stability in the 2025 fiscal year. This admission by the Governor is a wide departure from the positions held by then candidate John Mahama and the leadership of the NDC. The Akufo-Addo administration faced significant challenges when the deadly coronavirus pandemic, COVID-19, struck. COVID-19 brought the global economy on its knees as production…
