*Ghana Cannot Afford to Remain Silent on Waste Crisis - Media Urged to Lead Advocacy for Reform* The Parliamentary Press Corps has been urged to elevate reporting on waste management beyond disaster coverage and focus on the policy, economic and institutional failures that fuel Ghana's sanitation challenges. Speaking at a capacity building workshop for journalists covering Parliament, Madam Betty Brown Nyadu Group Head for Government Relations, Environment and Sanitation Processing Cluster Jospong Group of Companies appealed to the media to help drive national action on what he described as a public health, economic, climate, infrastructure and governance issue. "Ghana needs the media to report on waste management more than ever before. Not only when our drains are choked, not only when floods have destroyed homes and businesses, not only when refuse is accumulated on our streets," she said.

*"You Deserve Better" - Clerk Backs Press Corps on Workspace, Says "Drop That Chamber" Campaign Obscured Real Infrastructure Deficit* The Parliamentary Press Corps' long-standing demand for better working conditions has received strong backing from leadership on both sides of the House, as clerk of Parliament Mr Ebenezer Ahumah Djetro admitted that Ghana's Parliament lacks adequate facilities to function effectively. Speaking at a workshop for the Press Corps, the clerk said he expects the media to play a critical role in re-examining the country's parliamentary infrastructure needs, referencing the controversial "Drop That Chamber" campaign that halted plans for a new chamber. "You remember the Drop That Chamber business. The thing became legitimate," he said, adding that the challenge of workspace affects both MPs and journalists. "You deserve better. Majority Leader agrees with me. Minority Leader agrees with me and indeed all Members of Parliament agree," he told journalists.

*"Drop That Chamber Must Be A Thing Of The Past" - Parliamentary Press Corps Urged to Champion Infrastructure Needs* Members of the Parliamentary Press Corps have been charged to champion the need for adequate parliamentary infrastructure, with a call to ensure the "Drop That Chamber" narrative becomes a thing of the past. Speaking at a two days workshop for journalists covering Parliamentary proceedings, the clerk to parliament, Mr Ebenezer Ahumah Djetro said the issue of Parliament's infrastructure deficit must be critically looked at and the public appropriately informed by the media. He dismissed the perception that parliamentary journalists spend only a few hours in Parliament, noting that many spend up to 16 hours covering proceedings. "You are part of us. Anybody who sits somewhere and decides the press corps are just here two hours and they leave, that is not true," he said. He said the lack of workspace for journalists affects timely reporting, as reporters are forced

Methodist Presiding Bishop Cautions Newly Inducted Lay President To Stay Within His Constitutional Mandate The Presiding Bishop of the Methodist Church Ghana, The Most Rev. Prof. Johnson K. Asamoah -Gyadu has cautioned the newly inducted Lay President Bro. Alfred Sakyi to stay within their constitutional mandate and operate according to the grace and calling given to him. The admonition was given during an induction service program at the St Paul Cathedral, Tema. Giving his sermon , he taught on the process for appointing Deacons for God's ministry in the Church, drawn from Acts Chapter 6. According to the Presiding Bishop, the early Church provides a clear model for leadership and division of responsibility. When the Hellenists complained that their widows were being neglected in the daily distribution of food, the twelve apostles did not dismiss the complaint with complaints, but met it with action. He explained that the Apostles separated their core assignment from the task

*WORLD CUP VISA SCANDAL: GTA Reportedly Charged Non-Staff $7k-$14k For Visas, Two Operatives Named Minority Demands Answers* Fresh allegations have emerged in the ongoing 2026 World Cup visa scandal, with the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA) accused of processing individuals who were not staff of the Authority under visa allocations meant for official World Cup-related activities. Speaking at a press conference the Member of parliament for Tafo Pankrono Mr Vincent Assafuah investigating the matter says its findings raise serious accountability questions for the GTA and its Chief Executive Officer. "Our investigation also raises questions concerning allegations that individuals who were not GTA staff were being offered or processed under these arrangements at fees reportedly ranging from seven thousand USD to fourteen thousand USD per person," he revealed.

*World Cup Visa Scandal Must Not End With One Dismissal - Minority Calls For Sacking Of Sports Minister And GTA CEO* The Minority in Parliament has insisted that the World Cup visa scandal cannot end with the dismissal of one official, following President John Dramani Mahama's removal of the Director General of the National Sports Authority. Addressing the press at Parliament House, the Ranking Member on the Youth and Sports Committee, Hon. Vincent Ekow Assafuah, said while the Minority acknowledges the President's decision, it does not answer all the questions arising from the documentary trail. "This cannot end with one dismissal. The President has removed [the NSA DG] we acknowledge that decision but the public should not be made to believe that the removal of one official automatically answers every question arising from the document," he stated. Minority Demands Dismissal Of Sports Minister And GTA Boss The Minority is therefore demanding the immediate dismissal of the Minist

*Speaker Bagbin Blocks Minority Push For Bipartisan Probe Into $1bn Cocaine Scandal* Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon. Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, has ruled against a motion filed by the Minority seeking a bipartisan parliamentary inquiry into major narcotics consignments linked to Ghana, including seizures valued at over $1 billion. The Minority, led by Hon. Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin, had filed a motion to compel the House to investigate a string of massive cocaine seizures connected to Ghana including the 3.3 tonnes seized at Pedu Junction in March 2025 and the 3.9 tonnes seized at the Port of Dunkirk, France, on September 10, 2026, from a container that originated from Ghana. The Speaker, however, ruled the motion inadmissible, citing the risk of prejudicing ongoing judicial proceedings. He invoked the sub judice rule, arguing that since four Ghanaians have already been arraigned before the Accra High Court over the Dunkirk bust, a parliamentary probe would interfere wit

Walewale MP Retracts Controversial Word, Apologises to Speaker and Parliament The Member of Parliament for Walewale, Dr. Abdul-Kabiru Tia Mahama, has withdrawn a word used during a previous press conference and apologised unreservedly to the Speaker and the House. Speaking in Parliament, Dr. Tia Mahama admitted that the word was inappropriate and acknowledged that, in hindsight, it should not have been used. He explained that he had understood the word to mean “sadly and unpleasantly” based on a dictionary definition. However, he admitted that his interpretation was incorrect. Dr. Tia Mahama expressed appreciation to the Speaker for granting him the opportunity to address the matter and said the Speaker’s earlier statement on the issue was accurate. He subsequently retracted the word and offered an unreserved apology to the Speaker and the entire House.

Speaker Rebukes Walewale MP Over ‘Rude’ Remark on Parliament Recall The Speaker of Parliament has expressed concern over comments made by the Member of Parliament for Walewale, Dr. Abdul-Kabiru Tia Mahama, following the emergency recall of Parliament in August. The Speaker said Dr. Tia Mahama was within his rights to criticise the decision to recall Parliament and to question whether the business before the House justified interrupting Members’ constituency engagements. He also acknowledged the MP’s right to disagree with the manner in which the emergency proceedings were conducted. However, the Speaker said his concern was not with the substance of the MP’s criticism, but with the language used during a press engagement. According to the Speaker, Dr. Tia Mahama accused him of having “rudely” recalled Members of Parliament from their constituencies. The Speaker said such language was inappropriate and stressed that the issue before him was the manner in which the criticism was ex
