*Roads and Transport Committee backs Ghana Airports’ call for upward review of stagnant GH¢5 domestic fee* The Parliamentary Select Committee on Roads and Transport has pledged its support for a potential review of the domestic Airport Passenger Service Charge (APSC), following an impassioned appeal from the Managing Director of Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL), Mrs. Yvonne Afriyie Opare, during a recent familiarization visit. Speaking during the committee’s two-day oversight tour of agencies under the Ministry of Transport, Mrs. Opare lamented that the APSC for domestic flights has remained at GH₵5.00 since 2013, calling the situation “financially unsustainable” and a risk to the future of regional airports. “Our domestic APSC has been an issue that has persisted over the years. We’ve been at GH¢5.00 for each flight since 2013, which we have been using to support all our regional airports.” “It is not sustainable. We are relying heavily on the international passenger charges t

*Osahen Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin is the Osahen of the Effutu State.* In the Effutu tradition, the Osahen is the Chief Warrior of the State. There are two Asafo (warrior) groups in Effutu: the Tuafo and the Dentsefo. The Osahen is the overall head and serves as the link between these two Asafo Companies and the Paramount Chief (Oma Odefe) of the Effutu State. He plays the role of a unifier, overseeing all matters involving the two groups and ensuring harmony within the Effutu State. He is responsible for arbitrations, the welfare of the Asafo Companies, and maintaining order. Beyond his role as Chief Warrior, the Osahen performs key ceremonial duties. When the King is being outdoored or departing from the palace, it is the Osahen who ensures that everything is in order and formally sees the King off. However, the Osahen himself does not join the public procession; he remains in the palace while the Asafo Companies come to pay homage to him. The Osahen title is not a chieftai
