After 𝟲 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀 of waiting, the famous ruling of Circuit Court 9 in the Abronye case is out. All right-thinking members of society can now read for themselves.

According to the Judge, “𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝘾𝙊𝙐𝙍𝙏 𝙄𝙎 𝙊𝙁 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙑𝙄𝙀𝙒 𝙏𝙃𝘼𝙏 𝙒𝙃𝙀𝙉 𝙂𝙍𝘼𝙉𝙏𝙀𝘿 𝘽𝘼𝙄𝙇 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝘼𝘾𝘾𝙐𝙎𝙀𝘿 𝙒𝙄𝙇𝙇 𝘾𝙊𝙈𝙈𝙄𝙏 𝙁𝙐𝙍𝙏𝙃𝙀𝙍 𝙊𝙁𝙁𝙀𝙉𝘾𝙀𝙎.” “𝘼𝘾𝘾𝙊𝙍𝘿𝙄𝙉𝙂𝙇𝙔, 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝘽𝘼𝙄𝙇 𝘼𝙋𝙋𝙇𝙄𝘾𝘼𝙏𝙄𝙊𝙉 𝘽𝙔 𝘾𝙊𝙐𝙉𝙎𝙀𝙇 𝙁𝙊𝙍 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝘼𝘾𝘾𝙐𝙎𝙀𝘿 𝙄𝙎 𝙍𝙀𝙁𝙐𝙎𝙀𝘿. 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝘼𝘾𝘾𝙐𝙎𝙀𝘿 𝙄𝙎 𝙃𝙀𝙍𝙀𝘽𝙔 𝙍𝙀𝙈𝘼𝙉𝘿𝙀𝘿 𝙄𝙉𝙏𝙊 𝘽𝙉𝙄 𝘾𝙐𝙎𝙏𝙊𝘿𝙔.”

In the matter of the bail application for Abronye, filed on 14th May, 2026, the case was originally allocated to Criminal Court 2. However, the Registrar took the docket away from Criminal Court 2 on Friday, 15th May, 2026.

Today, the Court Docket Session officers informed Counsel for Abronye that the case was fixed at Criminal Court 2, but Counsel was finally directed to General Jurisdiction 2 as the new place for the hearing of the case.

When the case was called, the Attorney General prayed for more time to respond to the bail application, although the application had been served on 14th May, 2026.

The application was adjourned; Abronye’s lawyer could not move the bail application because the Attorney General was not ready

Abronye remains in BNI custody.

What is happening to Abronye is unjust and unfair!!!

This is Mahama Ayariga in opposition, openly describing Supreme Court judges as “unintelligent,” but today @FelixKwakyeOfo1 wants to police Minority Leader Osahen Afenyo-Markin’s comment about the Circuit Court 9 judge, hypocrite.

You are not serious, go and sit down.

Yesterday, together with my colleague MPs, Hon. Michael Kwasi Aidoo (MP for Oforikrom), Hon. John Darko (MP for Suame) and Hon. Dr. Fred Kyei (MP for Offinso North), I visited our TESCON members at the African University of Communication and Business (AUCB) on the occasion of their Freshers’ Orientation and Public Speaking Programme.

Other senior members of the Party who were present at the event included:

1. H.E. Edward Boateng, former Ambassador to China

2. Hon. Hajia Fatimatu Abubakar, former Minister of Information

3. Dr. Sammy Crabbe, former National Second Vice Chairman

4. Hon. Yaw Adomako Baafi, former National Director of Communications

5. Dr. Edwin Nii Obodai Provencal, former BOST CEO

6. Hon. Michael Kofi Twum Boafo, former Communication Specialist to NEIP

The Regional Chairman, Hon. Divine Otoo Agorhom, led a delegation of regional and constituency executives to grace the occasion.

I take this opportunity to congratulate the AUCB TESCON executives, led by the President, Kwasi Ohene-Bugyei, for their loyalty, patriotism and hard work.

Yesterday, I attended the launch of “Osei Kofi: Ghana’s Dribbling Wizard,” a book that offers a detailed account of the life and career of Rev. Osei Kofi, authored by sports journalist Dan Kweku Yeboah at Sunlodge Hotel, Tesano.

The book provides a comprehensive look at his journey, highlighting his achievements, experiences and lasting impact on Ghanaian football. It was an inspiring evening celebrating the legacy of one of Ghana’s finest football icons.

[Entamoty 🔶 @Amoaning_samuel]

Noticed the recruitment conversation is still trending. Many applicants are asking the same question: why move to medicals when so many concerns about the aptitude test remain unanswered?

First vouchers. Now medicals. How much should a young person pay just to chase opportunity?

Fair recruitment builds trust. Ignoring concerns destroys it. Hope the right people are listening.

Thank you Osahen for speaking up for our youth !

[Osahen Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin @AfenyoMarkin]

I raised concerns about challenges in the ongoing security services recruitment process, particularly the aptitude tests, and called for a review of the system to ensure fair access for young people, especially those with limited ICT skills.

“Give me my money. I don’t want to join the service again”

—Young Ghanaian woman says in frustration over the ongoing recruitment process and its associated issues.

She expressed disappointment with the Ministry of Interior over their failure to adequately address issues of concern for applicants, stressing that applying to serve one’s country should not be this difficult and frustrating.

[Kakraba Blankson @gracy_birk]

@Nyame_Mma @AmeyawDebrah It simply means that this AI system has issues and should have been well tested before rolling out. Hmmmm

[Ameyaw Debrah @AmeyawDebrah]

Qualified but not connected? Then you know the struggle.

People are asking how many capable young Ghanaians lose out on immigration, police, and security service jobs simply because they don't know "someone"?

They are saying the "protocol" system has blocked more qualified people than it has ever helped. They are also saying the current AI-driven recruitment system is making it difficult for those without good Internet to navigate the digital requirements

We want to hear from you.

Drop your experience below. Let's get this conversation going.

Earlier today, my response to SONA was to simply say: Give to Bawumia What Belongs to Bawumia.

I’ve had a few enquiries to explain.

What we heard today at the President’s State of the Nation Address was a celebration without acknowledgment. The President stood tall, applauding his own performance, yet failed to admit that the script he was reading was written before he arrived on 7 January 2025.

The fiscal space he now enjoys was created through the painful sacrifices of bondholders and the difficult reforms undertaken by the previous NPP administration. Gratitude costs nothing, Mr President, but it has been withheld.

On the economy and the strength of the Cedi, the facts are even clearer. The stabilisation measures did not fall from the sky. The Gold for Oil programme, Gold for Forex, and Gold for Reserves, the strategic decision to increase gold reserves at the Bank of Ghana were the brainchildren of former Vice President @MBawumia. The gold buffers that provided confidence, the framework that steadied the currency, and the foundation that made today’s stability possible were already in place before 2025.

In 2024, GDP had crossed one trillion cedis for the first time and growth stood at 5.7%. Over 30 tonnes of gold had been accumulated. The groundwork was done; the plane had already taken off, Mr President.

This government simply walked into a prepared room and is now taking a bow. There is nothing wrong with continuing a good policy. But let us be honest enough to give credit where it is due.

So I repeat:

Give to Bawumia what belongs to Bawumia.

[Onipa nua 🇬🇭💰❤️ @mylo_melo]

The minority leader @AfenyoMarkin said Ghanaians could not afford electricity and the reaction from the energy minister John Jinapor was more insulting to Ghanaians than even the increment

Whaaaat ? He mean it’s not true or they don’t feel it? 😡😡😡
