Government Delegation led by Presidential Advisor Presents 24-Hour Economy Policy to Parliament. A government delegation led by Presidential Advisor Goosie Tanoh on the 24-Hour Economy met with Parliament to present the policy to Speaker Alban Bagbin ahead of its launch in July. Speaker Bagbin welcomed the initiative but emphasized the need for legislative backing to ensure the policy's longevity. He advised the 24-Hour Economy Secretariat to collaborate with lawmakers to draft a bill that would institutionalize the program, providing stability beyond changes in political leadership. The policy's launch on July 2 marks a significant step in Ghana's economic transformation agenda, aimed at stimulating economic growth and job creation through round-the-clock economic activity. Speaker Bagbin also reflected on past political experiences, noting how the NDC lost the 2000 general elections and how former President Kufuor engaged with PNDC members, including the late P.V. Obeng, to set up

Radio Stations Shut Down for Lack of Authorization The Minister of Communications and Member of Parliament for Ningo Prampram, Hon. Sam George, has informed Parliament about the closure of some FM radio stations by the National Communications Authority (NCA). According to Hon. Sam George, the NCA directed the shutdown on February 18, 2025, due to the stations' failure to obtain the required authorization as mandated by Section 24 of the Electronic Communications Act 2008 (Act 775). The affected stations were given opportunities to renew their authorizations prior to the enforcement action but failed to do so. However, in a separate case, the authorization for Woman and Sons Limited, a commercial radio station operating at Bawku on 104.9 FM, was suspended due to national security concerns, as advised by the Minister for the Interior.

DISREGARD MISINFORMATION ABOUT DONATING BLOOD - DR SHIRLEY. The head of Transfusion Medicine Unit at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, also the Head of Transfusion Medicine specialist, has highlighted misinformation as a significant barrier to increasing voluntary blood donation rates in Ghana. Speaking at the world child cancer project closure meeting in Accra, Dr Shirley said misinformation about blood donation can be a significant barrier to increasing voluntary blood donation rates. She mentioned that some misconceptions like blood donated by men can cause impotence is unfounded and lacks scientific justification. The notion that a person's personality traits can be transferred through blood transfusion is also a misconception. Also, claims that blood collected by blood services ends up in occult practices or is used for non-clinical purposes are unfounded. She said every unit of blood can be traced from donation to recipient which ensures accountability and transparency.
