'We have not yet experienced our heaviest rainfall compared to 2006, when we had almost 70 millimetres of rain — ten times what we are seeing now. But we are experiencing worse flooding today because we have changed the natural flow of water. You cannot cheat nature.'
— Prof. Chris Gordon, Environmental Scientist explains that despite lower rainfall levels currently, flooding is more severe today due to rapid urbanisation, wetland loss, and the destruction of natural water pathways.

I am deeply honestly feeling so much anger and sadness in me right about the state of this country seeing videos and news of all this week about GALAMSEY, COURRPTION, SANITATION, FLOODING and the realization that truly truly this country won’t be any better in our lifetime.
It pains me that many of us will have to do so much to be able to comfortably live in the capital especially. And this is not even tied the government of the day…. I am truly overwhelmed by all our problems and the lack of solutions thereof
Our future frightens me…
The Auditor-General of Ghana has surcharged former Minister for Youth and Sports, Mustapha Ussif, and two other former officials over financial irregularities linked to Ghana’s hosting of the 13th African Games to a tune of GHS580,042,347.40.
The surcharge follows an audit into the expenditure, contract management and procurement processes related to the continental sporting event hosted by Ghana in 2024. According to the Auditor-General’s findings, the amount represents financial irregularities and liabilities arising from decisions made during the planning and execution of the games.
The two other persons named by the audit report are William Kartey, former Chief Director of the Ministry of Youth and Sports, and Dr Kwaku Ofosu-Asare, former Chairman of the Local Organising Committee of the event.

According to the audit into the African Games, one individual, through three different companies, secured multiple contracts covering transportation, accommodation, sports equipment, ticketing and medals, with a combined contract value of 151 million cedis.
One of the companies, which was supposedly providing accommodation services, reportedly did not have the required license and instead operated mainly as an intermediary. Two of the hotels it listed could also not be verified.
The audit further indicated that while the hotels were charging between $50 and $70 per night on average, the intermediary billed the state about $150 per night. As a result, the state is said to have overpaid by roughly 10 million cedis on accommodation services provided through that company alone.
