“Ghana Must Go” again?: Between African solidarity and national frustrations

Deputy Minister for Finance, Thomas Nyarko Ampem, has called for urgent reforms to political financing across Africa, warning that the growing influence of money in politics is undermining democratic integrity, excluding capable leaders, and weakening public trust in democratic institutions.

Africa can no longer measure financial inclusion by the number of bank accounts opened or digital wallets activated, and must instead pursue measurable improvements in people's lives, the Second Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana (BoG), Matilda Asante-Asiedu, has said.

The Controller and Accountant-General's Department (CAGD) has moved to clarify the accounting treatment of funds earmarked for the Accra-Kumasi Expressway, dismissing social media claims that the government has spent almost GH¢11billion on the project despite construction not having started.

Construction of the first phase of the 1,500-megawatt Buipe solar power project under the Government's 24-Hour Economy and Accelerated Export Development (24H+) Programme will commence next month, Presidential Adviser on the 24-Hour Economy and Accelerated Export Development, Hon. Augustus Goosie Tanoh, has announced.
