Former Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Godfred Yeboah Dame, has called on Ghanaians to pay close attention to the actions of the current Attorney General, Dr. Dominic Ayine, particularly his handling of high-profile criminal cases.
Speaking at a press briefing, Mr. Dame questioned the motives behind the mass withdrawal of cases involving officials of the previous National Democratic Congress (NDC) government.
He warned that these decisions could erode public trust in the justice system and set a dangerous precedent for future administrations.
“The people of Ghana should be very concerned and afraid if we have an Attorney General whose primary consideration for discontinuing criminal cases is the position of defense lawyers rather than the interest of the Republic,” Mr. Dame cautioned.
He criticized Dr. Ayine for failing to provide clear legal justifications for dropping cases that involved significant financial losses to the state.
Among the cases withdrawn within the first month of the new government were:
– The appeal in Republic vs. Ato Forson & Others, abandoned on January 24, 2025.
– The withdrawal of charges against Dr. Stephen Opuni and two others on January 28, 2025.
– The dismissal of Republic vs. Lambo & Another on January 29, 2025.
– The discontinuation of two cases against Johnson Pandit on January 30, 2025.
Mr. Dame argued that there was no legal basis for these withdrawals, pointing out that Dr. Ayine had failed to consult the prosecution division or the Director of Public Prosecutions before taking action.
He further alleged that the NDC government had a premeditated plan to clear its appointees of wrongdoing, stating, “The pattern of these withdrawals suggests a calculated attempt to shield officials of the previous administration from accountability.”
In response to allegations that he acted unethically in the prosecution of the Republic vs. Ato Forson case, Mr. Dame dismissed the claims as baseless, citing a court ruling that found no misconduct on his part.
He urged Ghanaians to remain vigilant and demand accountability from the Attorney General’s office.
“The public must not look away. These actions have long-term consequences for our justice system, and we must hold those in power accountable,” he emphasized.
Dr. Ayine has yet to respond to these allegations, but sources indicate that an official statement may be issued in the coming days.

She also applauded Dr Paul Kofi Fynn for the establishment and growth of the University in her constituency, noting how it has contributed to the development of the people.
The Chancellor of Wisconsin International University College Ghana, Dr Paul Kofi Fynn also said his achievement was powered by God, his family, his staff and the people in the community.
He said the establishment and growth of the University should be regarded as a community development, helping and preparing the youth for the future of the nation.
Brief History
Wisconsin International University College, Ghana, is a leading private tertiary institution, has made a significant impact since its humble beginnings.
It was started by Dr. Paul Fynn and Dr. John Buuckin in 2000.
The University was granted interim accreditation in January 2000 under the name University College of Wisconsin International University-Ghana (UCWIU-GH) by the then National Accreditation Board (now Ghana Tertiary Education Commission) and began with an International Master of Business Administration (MBA) programme. Operations commenced in August 2000.
Since receiving its interim accreditation in 2000, the University College has gone on to achieve full accreditation status.
Currently, it has been accredited by the GTEC.
From an initial affiliation with only the University of Ghana, WIUC-Gh is now affiliated with four major universities in Ghana: UCC, UG, KNUST, and UDS.
Facilities
The University, which started in a one-storey residential facility in Accra (now referred to as the Academic Block), now has numerous facilities on its campuses in Accra (main campus and the Music School at Haatso) and Kumasi (Feyiase on the Lake Bosomtwe Road).
We are blessed with Moot Courts, state-of-the-art Nursing and Midwifery Skills Labs, a Cybersecurity and AI Lab, a Music Studio, and a School of Communications Studio, among others.
Programmes and Schools/Faculty.
From a humble beginning with just one programme, the International MBA in 2000, we expanded to five by 2003, adding one more graduate programme and three undergraduate programmes.
Today, the school offers 10 Graduate programmes, 16 Undergraduate programmes, 2 Diploma programmes and it is also a centre for Professional Studies hosting a number of non-degree/non-tertiary programmes.
As Ghanaians celebrate National Chocolate Day today, February 14, the Ghana Civil-society Cocoa Platform (GCCP) has sounded a strong warning that the future of Ghana’s cocoa industry—and chocolate itself—is in grave danger due to illegal mining, known locally as galamsey.
Cocoa is the lifeblood of Ghana’s economy, supporting over 800,000 farmers and generating approximately $2 billion annually in exports.
Beyond its economic significance, cocoa is the heart of the country’s rich chocolate-making tradition, which National Chocolate Day seeks to promote. However, the unchecked destruction caused by galamsey is threatening this legacy.
Illegal mining has ravaged thousands of hectares of cocoa farmlands, polluted rivers, and led to severe deforestation. These environmental disasters have not only reduced cocoa production but also placed Ghana’s status as the world’s second-largest cocoa producer at serious risk. If the situation persists, the country could face declining yields, loss of international market credibility, and economic hardship for thousands of cocoa farmers.
GCCP warns that without cocoa, there will be no chocolate—and without chocolate, National Chocolate Day could become a meaningless tradition.
To raise awareness, GCCP has launched a nationwide campaign titled “Save Chocolate, Save Love: End Galamsey Now.”
The movement urges Ghanaians to take a stand against illegal mining and protect the country’s cocoa heritage.
As part of the campaign, the group is rallying citizens to spread digital advocacy messages, using slogans such as: “Save the Golden Tree, End Galamsey. No Cocoa, No Chocolate, No Valentine”, etc.
GCCP is calling on the government, policymakers, traditional authorities, and the private sector to take decisive action in combating galamsey.
The organization believes that stronger policies, strict enforcement of mining regulations, and sustainable farming initiatives are crucial to safeguarding the future of cocoa production.
The message is clear: Ghana’s cocoa industry is under siege, and urgent action is needed to protect it.
On this Valentine’s Day, as lovers exchange chocolates to celebrate love, GCCP urges all Ghanaians to reflect on the uncertain future of Ghana’s cocoa industry.
The time to act is now—because saving cocoa is not just about chocolate, it’s about protecting livelihoods, preserving heritage, and securing Ghana’s economic future.
A cloud of sorrow has engulfed Otwereso Methodist JHS in the Ofoase Ayirebi Constituency following the mysterious death of a final-year student, Daniel K. Frimpong (Junior).
The young boy, who was preparing for the upcoming Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE), tragically lost his life under circumstances that have left his family and community in shock.
For weeks, Daniel and his classmates had been attending extra classes from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. daily to boost their chances in the BECE.
However, on Tuesday, February 11, 2025, their HeadMaster, Samuel Glover Boateng, unexpectedly extended the session to 11:00 p.m.. Exhausted and frustrated, some students protested the decision, but they had no choice but to comply.
During the extended session, Daniel reportedly asked for permission to use the washroom and he never returned.
His classmates assumed he had gone home out of frustration, given the general dissatisfaction over the Headmaster’s directive.
But moments before closing, the students heard a strange noise—like cats fighting. At first, they ignored it. But when the sound grew louder, curiosity led them outside. To their horror, they found Daniel lying motionless on the ground, his body covered in mud and foam oozing from his mouth.
In a desperate attempt to save his life, Daniel was rushed to the Akim Oda Community Hospital, but doctors could only confirm he was dead.
Shockingly, the school authorities failed to inform Daniel’s parents about the incident.
It was only when his worried family began searching for him that they discovered the devastating news.
Meanwhile, the Akim Edubiase Police Station has taken over the case, launching an investigation into the tragic death that has thrown the Otwereso community into mourning.
For Daniel’s grieving family, this is more than a loss—it is a painful reminder of the pressures placed on students preparing for exams.
As the family demand justice and answers, the larger question remains: At what cost should academic success come? Keep your eyes on this platform for update on this report.
The Chief of Feyiase, Nana Addae Gyamera I, has urged the President, John Dramani Mahama to make his plans of the Free Senior High School Initiative (Free SHS) known to the public to ease tension and allay fears from parents.
He observed that due to change in Government, there are a lot of agitations amongst parents of its cancellation or a drastic measure, despite assurance that the government will not cancel it.
At the thanksgiving service, Wisconsin International University College Ghana launched its 25th anniversary.
The occasion was also used to celebrate the 85th anniversary of the Chancellor of the institution, Dr Paul Kofi Fynn.

Local governance remains the heartbeat of national development, ensuring that the aspirations of the people are translated into policies, programs, and tangible improvements in their lives. At the center of this governance structure stands the Assembly Member—a representative of the people, a voice of the grassroots, and a key decision-maker in shaping local and national policies.
The 1992 Constitution of Ghana and the Local Governance Act, 2016 (Act 936) vest significant powers in Assembly Members, making them indispensable to the democratic process. Yet, how well do we recognize and appreciate their role? How would our governance structure function without Assembly Members effectively executing their mandate?
THE CONSTITUTIONAL MANDATE OF ASSEMBLY MEMBERS
Assembly Members are more than just community leaders; they are the foundation of Ghana’s decentralized governance system. Article 240 of the 1992 Constitution explicitly provides for a decentralized local government system, ensuring that power is devolved to the local level, where the people can participate in decision-making.
Under Article 242 of the Constitution and Section 5 of the Local Governance Act, 2016 (Act 936), the composition of the Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs) includes:
• Elected Assembly Members
• Government Appointees
• The Member of Parliament for the area (without voting rights)
• The Metropolitan, Municipal, or District Chief Executive (MCE/DCE)
These provisions confirm that Assembly Members form the core of the MMDAs, making crucial decisions that affect local and national development.
ASSEMBLY MEMBERS AS THE POWERHOUSE OF LOCAL GOVERNANCE
1. CONFIRMATION OR REJECTION OF MCE NOMINEES
One of the most critical powers of Assembly Members is the confirmation or rejection of Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Chief Executive (MCE/DCE) nominees appointed by the President. According to Article 243(1) of the Constitution and Section 20(1) of Act 936, an MCE/DCE can only assume office upon securing at least two-thirds (2/3) majority votes of the Assembly Members.
This means that Assembly Members are not mere spectators in governance but gatekeepers of local leadership. The quality, competence, and commitment of MCEs depend on their approval. If Assembly Members fail to scrutinize and demand accountability from MCE nominees, they risk compromising the efficiency of local governance.
2. ELECTION OF REGIONAL REPRESENTATIVES TO THE COUNCIL OF STATE
The Council of State is an essential advisory body to the President of Ghana. Under Article 89(2)(c) of the 1992 Constitution, Assembly Members are the only body mandated to elect the Regional Representatives to the Council of State. This underscores their influence in shaping national policy, as the advice given by the Council of State to the President significantly impacts governance and decision-making.
If Assembly Members take this duty lightly, Ghana risks having a weak advisory system, affecting the quality of governance at the national level.
3. DELIBERATION AND APPROVAL OF LOCAL POLICIES AND BUDGETS
Every year, MMDAs prepare their development plans and budgets, which require Assembly Members’ scrutiny and approval. According to Sections 12 and 13 of Act 936, Assembly Members are responsible for:
• Approving the composite budget for local development
• Ensuring equitable distribution of resources
• Monitoring the implementation of policies
Without their vigilance, misallocation of funds, inefficiency, and lack of accountability could cripple local development efforts.
4. ADVOCATES FOR DEVELOPMENT AND COMMUNITY NEEDS
Assembly Members serve as a bridge between the government and the people. They articulate the concerns of their communities, push for essential services like roads, water, education, and health, and ensure that the government’s policies reflect the needs of the people.
Without proactive Assembly Members, rural communities would suffer neglect, and local governance would lose its essence.
ASSEMBLY MEMBERS MUST LIVE UP TO EXPECTATIONS
With such enormous responsibilities, the question is: Are Assembly Members living up to their mandate? The expectations are high, but so are the challenges:
• Limited resources to execute their duties
• Lack of recognition for their role in governance
• Political interference in their work
Despite these challenges, Assembly Members must rise to the occasion and assert their authority. They should:
1. Reject incompetent MCEs/DCEs who lack vision and capacity.
2. Elect competent Council of State representatives who will serve the national interest.
3. Demand accountability from local authorities to ensure development reaches the grassroots.
4. Engage actively with the electorate to understand their needs and advocate for solutions.
WHAT IF ASSEMBLY MEMBERS FAIL?
Imagine a Ghana where:
• MCEs/DCEs are appointed without proper vetting.
• Regional representatives of the Council of State are chosen without scrutiny.
• Local development projects are approved without proper oversight.
The entire local governance system would collapse, leading to poor service delivery, corruption, and weak development. Ghana’s decentralized governance structure cannot function without empowered, active, and responsible Assembly Members.
CONCLUSION: ASSEMBLY MEMBERS HOLD THE FUTURE OF LOCAL GOVERNANCE
The power vested in Assembly Members is not symbolic but real. They are the foundation of local governance, the gatekeepers of effective leadership, and the custodians of grassroots democracy.
If Ghana is to develop equitably, Assembly Members must recognize their power, exercise their mandate effectively, and demand the respect and resources necessary to perform their duties. A strong, independent, and proactive Assembly Member is a guarantee of a stronger Ghana.
Let us not underestimate their power—let us support them to succeed!

The country remains highly vulnerable to global shocks due to the oil-driven economic growth and debt accumulation over the past decade, a new World Bank report on Ghana’s public finance review has established.
The report said the country’s economic growth over the past decade had been driven by oil production and debt accumulation, making the nation highly vulnerable to global shocks.
Consequently, the report said that in spite of decisive steps to stabilise the economy since 2022, the country needed to accompany fiscal consolidation with structural reforms to address the root causes of the crisis.
“This includes implementing measures to improve expenditure controls, enhance revenue collection and promote more efficient public spending,” the report, titled “Building the foundations for a resilient and equitable fiscal policy,” said.
The Ghana Public Finance Review Report, which was launched in Accra yesterday by the World Bank Country Director for Ghana, Liberia and Sierra Leone, Robert Taliercio, said Ghana needed to persist in its ambitious fiscal consolidation efforts by ensuring that adjustments were both fair and sustainable.
“It is crucial to protect pro-poor and pro-growth investment while enhancing domestic revenue mobilisation. Additionally, Ghana must address the increasing fiscal liabilities stemming from the energy and cocoa sectors,” he said.
The World Bank report further showed that the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) growth of 6.8 per cent annually from 2008 to 2019 was largely fuelled by the oil sector.
However, the growth had come at a cost, with the country’s debt accumulation reaching alarming levels.
The report also highlights that the country’s recent debt crisis was fuelled by a combination of factors, including weak expenditure controls, inefficient public spending, underperforming revenue collection and costly borrowing.
These underlying issues have left the country exposed to external shocks, threatening the stability of its economy.
The question Ghana and every developing country must ask is: Do we want to shape the future, or do we want it to be shaped for us?Because there is no neutral ground in the AI age.
Look, every society, every nation, every civilization, has always been structured around its capacity to organize complexity, to control chaos, and to secure its own future.
That’s been true from the earliest hunter-gatherer tribes to the great empires of the modern age. But now, we are facing something fundamentally different—the rise of artificial intelligence as the dominant organizing force of governance and power.
This isn’t a trivial shift. It’s not just about convenience or automation. It’s about the very foundation of political structure, the very essence of governance. In the coming decades, AI won’t simply be a tool that governments use—it will be the primary driver of decision-making, economic structuring, military strategy, and even the control of public perception. That’s not science fiction. That’s happening now.
Nations have traditionally projected power through four main avenues:
1. Military force—the ability to defend and extend influence through physical might.
2. Diplomatic negotiation—the ability to forge alliances, secure trade, and manage global relationships.
3. Intelligence operations—the ability to gather and process information to maintain security.
4. Information control—the ability to manage public perception and shape narratives.
What’s happening now, in real-time, is the complete transformation of all four of these areas under the dominion of artificial intelligence.
1. AI-Driven Policy and Governance
Governments have always struggled with inefficiency. Bureaucracies bloat. Decision-making gets bogged down by conflicting interests and human error. AI removes these inefficiencies, allowing real-time optimization of policy and economic management. Nations that harness AI will govern with precision, responding instantly to shifts in markets, security threats, and public needs.
2. AI Warfare and Autonomous Defense
The battlefield is no longer purely physical. AI will decide strategy, deploy cyber defenses, and even operate autonomous weapons systems. The question isn’t whether this will happen—it already is. The U.S. and China are in an arms race for AI-driven military superiority. Those who lag behind in AI-powered warfare will no longer have meaningful sovereignty over their own security.
3. AI and Diplomatic Supremacy
Diplomacy is about leverage. It’s about knowing what the other side wants before they do. AI-driven predictive analytics will give governments an unprecedented ability to anticipate political shifts, economic downturns, and even social movements. AI will craft negotiation strategies, optimize trade agreements, and even preemptively shape geopolitical alliances. The nations with the most powerful AI will set the terms of global engagement.
4. The AI Information War: Control or Be Controlled
This is something people don’t fully appreciate yet—the true battlefield of the 21st century is information. Whoever controls AI-driven media, controls reality. Deepfakes, algorithmic propaganda, and AI-generated narratives will determine elections, destabilize governments, and manipulate entire populations. If a country cannot defend itself against AI-driven disinformation, it ceases to be an autonomous entity.
What Ghana Must Do—Now, Not Later
If Ghana, and by extension the developing world, wants to avoid being an AI colony of the great powers, it must act decisively. The decisions made in the next five to ten years will determine whether Ghana is a participant in the AI future—or a subject of it.
1. Establish a National AI Authority
You need a centralized body dedicated to AI strategy. Not a bureaucracy that exists for the sake of existing, but a real strategic command center that coordinates AI policy across defense, economy, infrastructure, and governance.
2. Train and Educate AI Talent at Scale
You need people who understand AI at a fundamental level. Not just end-users, not just consumers, but engineers, researchers, and policymakers who can develop Ghana’s own AI frameworks. Without that, you’re buying your intelligence from someone else—and they can turn it off whenever they please.
3. Build AI-Powered Cyber Defense
This is non-negotiable. AI-driven cyber warfare is already here. If Ghana does not develop AI-based cybersecurity, its infrastructure, finances, and national security will be perpetually vulnerable to external manipulation.
4. Leverage AI for Economic Independence
The future of economic competition is AI-driven. Agriculture, trade, manufacturing—all will be dominated by predictive AI models. If Ghana integrates AI into its industries now, it will maintain economic sovereignty. If not, it will merely be a marketplace for AI-driven multinational corporations.
5. Using AI for Strategic Diplomacy
Ghana needs to anticipate the AI-driven world order and position itself accordingly. This means forging AI partnerships, ensuring data sovereignty, and leveraging AI for diplomatic intelligence. The alternative is being left out of the future altogether.
The AI Future is a War for Sovereignty
This isn’t just about technology. It’s about power. It’s about who decides the rules of the future. In the next decade, AI will determine which nations rise, which decline, and which become permanently subservient to AI superpowers.

A Business Mogul, and Farmer, Engineer Armstrong popularly known as Kwasi Aboagye, has vowed to win back Agona kwaman parliamentary seat for the New Patriotic Party(NPP) in 2028.
Engineer Armstrong affectionately called ‘Aboagye’ meaning our helper from Agona kwaman, with over six companies, 1. Gudrick Engineering Ghana limited, 2 strong Vegetable oils, 3 Armstrong farms and strong constructions limited is loved by the people of Agona Kwaman in the Agona West constituency and also in touch with the people in the area.
Captain Engineer Armstrong was tipped for the Kwaman parliamentary seat for years now but was loyal to the former gender minister, Cynthia Morrison and member of parliament for the area and so rescinded his decision to run as Parliamentary Candidate for the NPP until the MP lost the primaries.
He later decided to contest as an independent candidate and again lost in the just ended elections.
The strong party man, contributor and sponsor of the NPP party in Agona according to him, has many plans for the people of Kwaman and is doing more even as he has not become an MP.
The young politician has plans to help create jobs to ease the unemployment situation in the area.
He has also called on the people to pick or consider someone from Agona to lead them in NPP to avoid misrepresentation of the people in Agona West constituency.
“Am very down with the chiefs and elders in the constituency and am very convinced that the seat will surely come back to the NPP as we are now doing retrospect on what caused us as a party,” he stated.
The President, John Dramani Mahama has ordered the National investigations Bureau (NIB) to conduct immediate investigations into the operations of the National Service Authority under the previous government.
This comes following the discovery of up to 81,885 suspected ghost names on the payroll of the Authority.
In a statement the Presidency noted that the ghost names were detected following a head count of active National Service personnel at the behest of the Minister for Finance as a prerequisite for the clearance of allowance arrears dating back to August 2024.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Finance has upon the completion of the head count, released an amount of GHS 226,019,224 covering allowance payment arrears for 98,145 actual National Service Personnel.
This figure, according to the Presidency is 81,885 less than the 180,030 names presented by the previous management of the Authority for allowance payment in 2024.
Moving forward, President Mahama has also tasked the new management of the Authority to carry out urgent reforms with the view to establishing adequate controls to prevent a recurrence of the phenomenon of ghost names.
