*Ghana Calls for African Approach to AI Ethics, Infrastructure and Capacity Building* Ghana's Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, Hon. Samuel Nartey George, has called for a distinctly African approach to Artificial Intelligence, urging that African values, data, infrastructure and talent must be at the centre of the global AI ecosystem. Speaking at the UNESCO Global Forum on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the Minister said Ghana's experience with the UNESCO Readiness Assessment Methodology, RAM, has been critical in shaping its ten-year National AI Strategy. According to him, the assessment helped Ghana identify its strengths and gaps and provided a clear basis for developing an implementation framework for the strategy. Hon. Sam George said the conversation on AI ethics must go beyond technical checklists to confront a deeper question: whose values are embedded in AI systems. He warned that AI models trained without s

*Minority Calls For Immediate Review Of 24-Hour Economy Market Program* The Minority in Parliament is calling on government to take a second look at the implementation of its 24-Hour Economy Market Program, demanding an immediate comprehensive and non-partisan review. According to the Minority, the program in its current form is poorly conceived and disconnected from the actual development needs of many communities. Addressing the press, the Ranking Member on the Local Government Committee, Mr. Francis Asenso-Boakye, said the program must be redesigned to be needs-based and demand-driven. He stressed that implementation should only be done where genuine needs have been established, guided by a well-developed plan to inform the selection of projects. "An existing market should be rehabilitated where necessary or expanded. And markets already under construction should be completed rather than abandoned or demolished," Mr. Asenso-Boakye stated. He revealed that traders in several ar

*Ayariga Vows Waste Management Overhaul; Insists Polluters Must Pay* The Minister of Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs, Mahama Ayariga, has announced a major overhaul of Ghana's waste management system to tackle the country's worsening sanitation crisis. According to the Minister, the government will enforce strict payment of waste collection rates, compelling companies, factories and property owners to pay what is due to the Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs). Mr Ayariga said the move has become necessary due to the serious environmental and public health risks posed by poor waste management. He gave the assurance on Monday when he toured key waste management facilities in Accra to assess their operations first-hand. The facilities visited were the Lavender Hill faecal treatment plant at Korle-Bu, the Achimota-Abofu Transfer Station, the Kpone Landfill Site, the Kpone Landfill Decommissioning Project Site, and Zoomlion's Accra Compost and Re

*Parliament Adjourned Abruptly Without Tangible Reason – Minority MP's Fumes Over Wasted Recall* The Member of Parliament for Walewale, Hon. Abdul Kabiru Tiah Mahama, has slammed the leadership of Parliament over what he describes as an abrupt adjournment of the House without any cogent reason. Addressing the media on behalf of the Minority after proceedings on Tuesday, the MP said the House was adjourned again "without any cogent and not any reason that anyone would attest to the fact that the purpose or the reasoning behind the adjournment is anything tenable." He recalled that pursuant to Order 58(4) of the Standing Orders of Parliament, the Speaker "rudely" recalled Members from recess while they were engaging with their constituents. According to him, MPs were recalled to transact three main businesses: 1. To consider and possibly approve the Deposit Protection Amendment Bill, 2. To consider the nominees for Ministers of State, and 3. To consider nominees appointed to the S

*Minority Complaints Baseless, We Are Working – Comfort Doyoe Defends Parliament Recall* The First Deputy Majority Whip and Member of Parliament for Ada, Hon. Comfort Doyoe Cudjoe, has justified the recall of Parliament, saying it is critical for the vetting and approval of newly reassigned ministers. Addressing the press in Parliament on Wednesday, Hon. Cudjoe dismissed complaints by the Minority over the recall, insisting that Parliament was actively working. "What are they looking for? We called the House to come and sit and work and we are working. So why are they complaining?" she questioned. She explained that there was several committee meetings ongoing concerning the vetting of two ministers and judges. According to her, the recall was necessary because without it, the ministers reassigned by President John Mahama cannot be approved to return to their sector ministries to work on their budgets. "The main reason why we are here is if we don't recall this House and vet

Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga Defends Mid-Year Budget, Challenges Minority's Criticism The Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga has defended the 2026 Mid-Year Budget Review, arguing that the government's economic performance should be assessed on the basis of facts rather than political rhetoric. Responding to criticisms from the Minority, Mr. Ayariga said the Majority had a responsibility to present an objective assessment of the government's performance and would not support attempts to misrepresent the country's economic progress. He accused the Minority of selectively interpreting the Finance Minister's figures, insisting that improvements in key economic indicators reflected deliberate policy decisions rather than political spin. The Majority Leader rejected claims that the government's achievements were overstated, maintaining that the administration had taken concrete steps to stabilize the economy and lay the foundation for sustainable growth.
