His recent claim that he stands as the defining voice of the decade is not just bold talk.

His first public message as head coach of the Ghana national football team makes that clear. This is not being positioned as a routine coaching assignment.

While generation levels have recently exceeded 4,000 megawatts, the infrastructure required to “evacuate” and distribute that electricity remains a significant bottleneck. According to Xatse Derick Emmanuel, a Senior Research and Policy Analyst at the Institute for Energy Security (IES), power stability is a three-legged stool consisting of generation, transmission, and distribution. If any leg fails, the system collapses. Currently, the “restoration of multiple generation units” has successfully boosted output, but... - [Ghana Tax Updates 2026: How New Relief Measures Are Cutting Costs for Businesses](https://ghananewspage.com/ghana-tax-updates-2026-how-new-relief-measures-are-cutting-costs-for-businesses/): Ghana’s tax landscape has undergone a significant transformation in 2026, shifting from an aggressive revenue collection stance to a streamlined, business-friendly environment.

This relief is driven by the formal repeal of the Emissions Levy and the COVID-19 Health Recovery Levy, alongside the highly anticipated removal of the Electronic Transfer Levy (E-Levy). These changes mark a pivot toward a rationalized tax system designed to simplify compliance and lower the operational overhead for... - [Chad Mass Deportations: 600 Nigerians Expelled Amid Rising Security Tensions](https://ghananewspage.com/chad-mass-deportations-600-nigerians-expelled-amid-rising-security-tensions/): The Chadian government has recently rounded up and deported approximately 600 Nigerians from N’Djamena, citing undocumented status and potential links to regional insurgent groups.

Stephen Amoah, the Member of Parliament for Nhyiaeso and former Deputy Finance Minister, has sparked national debate by asserting that Ghana’s two major political parties, the NPP and the NDC, are incapable of delivering true development.

The transition from a traditional priestess to a Christian evangelist is rarely a smooth one in the court of public opinion.

For a long time, the scientific community believed that the ancient oceans were almost exclusively dominated by vertebrate predators such as sharks and prehistoric whales.

This stability is powered by the Ghana Education Trust Fund (Amendment) Bill, 2025, which uncaps GETFund to provide a dedicated and sustainable stream of financing for school feeding. For years, many schools struggled with supply chain disruptions that occasionally forced students to return home early. The previous funding model faced immense pressure from rising enrollment numbers and fluctuating food prices.

Despite this two-week slip, financial analysts at Databank Research maintain a stable outlook for the local unit.

Instead, the process relies on informal networks, private ward upgrades, and direct cash incentives that slip through administrative cracks. The Private Clinic Loophole: Patients pay double or triple the standard consultation fee at special afternoon clinics to see the exact same public consultants without the public wait time. Middlemen and “Facilitators”: Security guards, orderlies, and junior staff often act as gatekeepers, taking bribes to slide patient folders to the top of the stack.

I always joke that planting fake or bad seeds on your farm and expecting a bumper harvest is like putting plain water into a car’s fuel tank and expecting to drive to Kumasi! IMO, fixing our seed system from the root is the single smartest move... - [Why Street Beggars Return After Sweeps](https://ghananewspage.com/why-street-beggars-return-after-sweeps/): Walking through Lapaz in the evening should be a normal experience after a long day of hustle in Accra.

Historical records show that British colonial masters intentionally designed policies to keep northern Ghana underdeveloped.

Nii Omanye Boni-Lamptey, has taken the Ghana Education Service (GES) and government to the Supreme Court. He is challenging what he describes as the state’s failure to protect, preserve, and promote the Ga and Dangme languages in basic schools. I always joke that speaking local languages in school used to attract vernacular buttons back in the day, but watching an ordained minister file a constitutional suit for Ga and Dangme shows how serious indigenous cultural preservation is!
