The 2026 FIFA World Cup is coming to a station near you.
Government has resourced the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation to acquire the Free-to-Air Broadcast rights for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
To further ensure widespread availability of viewing opportunities for Ghanaians to follow the exploits of the Black Stars at the tournament, GBC leads a consortium of Ghanaian TV stations that will be showing the matches.
This represents a boon to advertisers hoping to get maximum eyeballs during the event. This statement from GBC provides details of the arrangements.
Dr Bawumia can never debate Prez Mahama Mano a Mano on the economy.
He wasn’t even able to explain his own statement: when the fundamentals are weak , the exchange rate will expose you ! Too weak !
The economy bows down to @JDMahama 🫡
A few years back, I took a bold step forward, and took up the role of directing the affairs of the then Former President John Dramani Mahama. At the time hope was all the NDC had, coupled of course with a strong desire and determination to make him President again. It was always obvious to myself many others that President Mahama had a lot more to offer the good people of Ghana 🇬🇭.
Watching him win the 2024 elections with such an overwhelming majority filled me with enormous confidence and optimism. Almost two years down the road and it is obvious that Ghanaian’s made a good choice. He is truly the most prepared President ever! He has what it takes to #Reset Ghana and is doing just that!
Let’s pray for our leader, let’s honor our leaders and let’s wish them well and support them as they work hard to deliver on the #resetting ghana. In the Economy, healthcare, infrastructure etc @JDMahama is delivering.
Trending News: Ghana has officially exited the IMF bailout programme after successfully concluding the negotiations on the Extended Credit Facility (ECF) agreement with the IMF.
For me personally, this is a testament to the leadership of President John Dramani Mahama. The discipline and integrity of the approach to economic governance have been phenomenal. Regular meetings with the IMF and the leaders of the implementing authorities of Ghana’s economic policy have paid good dividends.
Let me commend, my brothers, the Finance Minister @AtoCassielForson, the Governor of the Central Bank, and the good people of Ghana for the confidence you have all reposed in the leadership of @JDMahama and all the other experts working assiduously on stabilising the economy.
For me a stable economy and a consistent currency are two of the most valuable qualities of a healthy economy and so far Ghana is doing well.
Kudos to government.

I see some young NDC hopefuls on this app who, just to appear like the good guy and gain relevance, speak carelessly about their own party leaders, appointees and MPs.
My brother politics is complex and has no fixed formula and the people in it are human. The same way you expect others to defend your Godfather when he slips should guide how you also speak when a fellow party member is under attack.
As a friend I will say this gently and you can take it or leave it. If you keep talking as though you will be perfect when you finally get a position you may end up fighting the very people who would have opened the door for you.
Your name can reach the table of greatness but how you communicate on social media can easily block the greatness from reaching you. There is time for us to play and a time to be serious.
Be Guided.
At the maiden Public Lecture of Parliament, I had the honour of sharing the opening prayer after a warm introduction by my colleague @edemagbana.
As the House gathers to reflect on “Centrism, Formulating Policies for Growing Democracy” delivered by Alexander Afenyo-Markin, it was important to first commit the process into God’s hands.
Leadership begins with humility. Service begins with purpose.
Grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this historic first edition.
Breakdown of what the Legal Education Reform Bill means for Ghana.
WHAT THE BILL IS ABOUT
The Bill restructures legal education from the university level to the Bar. It decentralises training, strengthens regulation, standardises assessment, and creates a new examination structure.
In simple terms, it changes who trains lawyers, how they are trained, how they are examined, and how they are enrolled.
KEY CHANGES EVERY CITIZEN SHOULD KNOW
1. Universities can now run Law Practice Training
Under the new system, accredited universities can run both the Bachelor of Laws and the Law Practice Training. This ends the long standing monopoly of only one central professional training route.
2. Stronger accreditation rules
Full accreditation will last three years. Re accreditation will last five years.
If a university loses accreditation, existing students will be allowed to complete their programme, but no new students can be admitted until accreditation is restored.
3. Strict inspections
The Council will inspect accredited universities every three years. There are also provisions to ensure inspections happen regularly within semesters to maintain standards.
4. Minimum requirement to enter professional training
A person must obtain an Honours Bachelor of Laws degree with at least Second Class Lower Division to qualify to apply for Law Practice Training.
Universities cannot change this requirement on their own.
5. Uniform curriculum across universities
There will be compulsory core courses that all accredited universities must teach.
Information Technology and the Law becomes a compulsory subject.
Research skills, legal writing, advocacy, and communication skills are made core objectives.
6. Standardised grading and assessment
Universities must adopt written uniform grading standards.
Assessment must test practical legal problem solving, not just theory.
Students dissatisfied with grades can formally apply for review.
7. Law Practice Training structure
To sit the National Bar Examination, a person must complete Law Practice Training which includes:
Civil procedure
Criminal procedure
Advocacy and ethics
Conveyancing and drafting
Law of evidence
Practical legal service to needy clients
Work experience in courts, law firms or agencies
8. Creation of a National Bar Examination Committee
A new National Bar Examination Committee will be established.
It will include judges, members of the Bar, academics, and Board nominees.
9. Clear qualification to sit the Bar
To sit the National Bar Examination, a person must:
Hold a Bachelor of Laws degree Complete Law Practice Training
Or complete a Post Call Law Course
10.Enrolment as a lawyer
To be enrolled on the Roll of Lawyers, a person must:
Hold an accredited Bachelor of Laws degree Complete Law Practice Training
Pass the National Bar Examination
There are provisions for lawyers from countries with reciprocal arrangements.
11.Establishment of the Ghana School of Law under the Council
The Bill formally establishes the Ghana School of Law as a directorate under the Council.
Its functions include:
Running Post Call courses
Offering remedial courses
Designing specialised programmes
Collaborating internationally
12.Transitional protection
Students already enrolled before the law comes into force will complete their programmes under the old system.
Graduates who have not yet undertaken Law Practice Training can apply under the new framework.
13.Amendments to the Legal Profession Act
The Bill amends parts of the Legal Profession Act, 1960 to align with the new structure.
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR GHANAIANS
More access to legal education because multiple universities can now run professional training.
Greater transparency in grading and assessment.
More practical legal training for future lawyers.
Higher and clearer standards for qualification.
Reduced bottlenecks in legal training admissions.
Stronger oversight and accountability.
END.
It is interesting how confidently you tried to manufacture a contradiction out of a basic economic explanation.
You heard that increased supply from new producing countries can push prices down, and somehow concluded that this means prices can never rise again in the future. That conclusion alone exposes how shallow your understanding of global markets is.
Cocoa, like every major commodity, moves in cycles. When supply expands, prices may soften. When supply tightens because of weather patterns, crop disease, rising production costs, or stronger global demand, prices recover. That is not politics. That is Economics 101.
The existence of new producers does not freeze the market permanently. Production levels change. Yields fluctuate. Demand for chocolate continues to grow in emerging markets. Currency movements and futures trading also influence pricing. The market is dynamic, not static.
So pointing out current downward pressure while also projecting a future rebound is not a contradiction. It is simply acknowledging how market cycles operate.
Next time, instead of rushing to score points, take a moment to understand the fundamentals. It will make your contribution stronger and far more useful to the debate.

MrBeast gets named the “Chief of Development” after spending $1M to build schools, wells for accessible clean water, and more in Ghana and promised to feed them for free in the next 5 years.
From the 2nd of March 2026, i will be providing free Ghana made cocoa drinks to all public basic pupils from class 1 to 4 in my beloved Ayawaso West Constituency. Further details in the letter below. #idey4u
Yesterday, after listening to remarks made by Hon. Afenyo Markin, I took the responsible step of verifying the parliamentary record as captured by the Hansard Department.
What the official documents show is clear, detailed and beyond dispute. Across the 7th and 8th Parliaments, under the leadership of the NPP Government in which he played a central role, a total of 56 bills were passed under Certificates of Urgency.
These include major fiscal, economic and policy legislation, all processed swiftly with the full authority of Parliament at the time.
This is not conjecture or partisan commentary, it is documented parliamentary history. Yet today, in opposition, the same individual speaks as though the use of urgency in lawmaking is inherently wrong or illegitimate.
The record has not changed, only the political position has. The Hansard does not editorialize, it simply records facts. That record exposes a clear inconsistency between past actions in government and present rhetoric in opposition.
Ghanaians deserve leaders whose positions are guided by principle and precedent, not by political convenience. In the end, it is the record in power that should inform public judgment, not selective outrage after the fact.
-BA-
Sammy Gyamfi has been a constant target of the NPP, from opposition days to now, for one simple reason. He exposed their incompetence, their lies, and their economic mismanagement in a way they could not counter. That credibility and consistency played a major role in why the NPP lost public trust and was roundly rejected in the 2024 elections. What we are witnessing today is not scrutiny. It is revenge politics.
The facts are stubborn. Under the NPP, the Bank of Ghana ran the same Gold for Reserves and Gold for Oil programmes and recorded massive audited losses. In 2023 and 2024 alone, cumulative losses exceeded GHS7 billion, yet inflation was high, the cedi was collapsing, and reserves were weak. Today, under the NDC, with GoldBod operational, losses have reduced significantly despite more than doubling gold volumes and buying at much higher world prices. Inflation has fallen for eleven straight months and the cedi has appreciated by over 35 percent. These outcomes did not happen by accident.
GoldBod’s mandate is being deliberately misrepresented. It is not a profit making gold trading company. It is a forex mobilisation and reserve stabilisation policy tool. The IMF itself acknowledges its macroeconomic contribution while flagging risks that are being addressed through reforms. You do not assess a monetary policy instrument the same way you assess a private trader’s balance sheet. The NPP knows this. They simply hope the public forgets.
The same people who presided over record losses now want a probe because losses have reduced. When reminded of their own audited failures, they shout equalisation. This is not equalisation. It is accountability. It is exposing hypocrisy and deliberate mischief.
Unable to defeat Sammy Gyamfi on policy, facts, or results, the NPP has resorted to character attacks. A generous gesture becomes a scandal. A private family vacation becomes a national issue. This is not politics. It is malice. It is a calculated attempt to break a young man whose only crime is competence and courage.
The discerning Ghanaian sees through this. The IMF report they selectively quote also praises Ghana’s macroeconomic turnaround. They cannot discredit one part without casting doubt on the whole. That contradiction exposes their desperation.
We welcome scrutiny, audits, and even probes, because the numbers, trends, and outcomes speak for themselves. What we will not accept is selective outrage from those who ran the same programme into the ground and left the economy in ruins.
Sammy Gyamfi is not the problem. He is the reminder of what accountability, clarity, and effective political communication look like. That is why he is feared. That is why he is attacked. And that is why we will continue to defend him, firmly and unapologetically.
END.
-PEACE-
Equalization? Never, no one is equalizing.
1. In the year 2024, the Bank of Ghana (BoG) under the NPP was able to buy just 45 tonnes of ASM gold through their aggregators (PMMC and Red Sapphire). Gold prices at the time stood below $2,800 per ounce. The BoG made an audited loss of GHS4.18 billion under this ASM gold purchase program that year, 2024.
2. In 2025, the BoG under the NDC has been able to buy an unprecedented volume of ASM gold, 102 tonnes, worth over $10 billion, through the PMMC/GoldBod. This is more than double the 2024 volume of 45 tonnes, and at a time gold prices have soared to an all-time high of over $4,400 per ounce.
3. The NPP Minority Caucus is now crying foul that the BoG and GoldBod has made a much lesser loss of GHS3.3 billion (unaudited and unverified), despite buying a far larger volume of ASM gold, at higher prices. They want a probe into how we have reduced their losses under the G4R program.
4. When you remind them of the much bigger losses the BoG incurred under the same G4R program in 2023 and 2024 when they the NPP were in power, despite they buying relatively lesser volumes of ASM gold and at relatively lower prices, they say you are equalizing. No, we are not equalizing at all. We are simply exposing your hypocrisy and deliberate mischief.
5. Is the Gold for Reserve Program (ASM) a profit-making program or a forex-generation program? Fact is, it is a forex-generation program and not a profit-making program. You don’t assess the success of a non-profit monetary policy initiative on the basis of profit and loss but rather, on its broad economic impact.
6. If profit is the ultimate goal of the G4R program, why was the BoG under the NPP buying gold at spot prices between 2023-2024 as a government policy?
7. If profit is the ultimate goal for the G4R program, why weren’t the BoG able to make profit under same under the NPP in two years (2023-2024)?
Hypocrisy at its apogee!
