KNUST-JOANNA YABAN

The Ashanti Regional Police Command has detained Daniel Tuffuor, a 21-year-old final-year student at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), for questioning in connection with the death of Joana Deladem Yabani. Authorities took Tuffuor into custody after campus surveillance cameras captured him near the scene.

KNUST Security Services discovered Yabani’s body at around 5:00 a.m. on February 27, 2025T They found it near the university’s Disability and Rehabilitation Centre. Yabani, also a final-year student studying Biological Sciences, was pronounced dead shortly after being found.

However, DCOP Emmanuel Teye-Cudjoe, the Ashanti Regional Police Commander, confirmed the role of CCTV footage in identifying and apprehending Tuffuor. “We have identified the suspect through CCTV footage on the KNUST campus, and he is currently assisting us with our investigations,” DCOP Cudjoe stated.

In response to the incident, the police launched a 24-hour surveillance operation to enhance security on campus. Officers are conducting round-the-clock patrols and closely monitoring activities to safeguard students and staff.

Also, KNUST management acknowledged the security measures in a statement released on February 27, 2025. The university also confirmed that Inspector General of Police (IGP) Dr. George Akuffo Dampare spoke with Vice-Chancellor Professor (Mrs.) Rita Akosua Dickson. He assured her of safety on campus. Expressing gratitude for the swift intervention, Professor Dickson called the loss of Yabani “heartbreaking” and extended her condolences to the family.

Meanwhile, the Old Achimotan Association (OAA) announced plans to hold a vigil in memory of Yabani. She was a former student of Achimota School (OAA 2021, SOA House). In a statement signed by OAA KNUST Chapter President Francis Agyare-Yeboah, the association urged authorities to conduct a full-scale investigation and ensure accountability. The vigil’s details will be announced soon.

The tragic incident has sparked widespread grief and concern on the KNUST campus. University management has called for calm, urging students and staff to avoid spreading unverified information that could cause panic. As investigations continue, the KNUST community remains united in mourning Yabani’s untimely death and seeking justice for her and her family.

alban bagbin apologizes to Zanetor Rawlings

The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, has condemned the offensive remarks directed at Dr. Zanetor Rawlings, the Member of Parliament for Korle Klottey. He described the comments as “unwarranted, unjustified, and deeply offensive.”

Speaking in Parliament today, Bagbin expressed regret over the remarks made during parliamentary proceedings on February 4, 2025. He emphasized the importance of maintaining decorum and respect in national discourse, particularly within Parliament.

“The people of Ghana look to this House as the bedrock and beacon of democracy and leadership in Ghana,” Bagbin stated. “It is our collective duty to set a standard that reflects the true character and values of our great nation.”

The Speaker acknowledged the power of words, stating that while they can inspire hope and unity, they can also “divide, wound and erode the very foundations of trust, national unity, love, hope and the dignity we seek to uphold in this House.”

Bagbin directly referenced the offensive remark made against Zanetor Rawlings, which he described as reckless and unacceptable. He expressed regret for the incident on 4th February where Zanetor Rawlings was referred to as the “daughter of a murderer.”

He extended his “deepest apologies” to Zanetor Rawlings, her mother, former First Lady Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings, and the people of Anlo and Tongu. “No one serving their country should have to endure such indignity,” he said.

Parliamentary Privileges and Consequences

Bagbin reminded MPs that while parliamentary privileges protect free speech in the House, they are not absolute. He said it allows for disciplinary action when statements breach parliamentary privilege. “Let me be clear. Parliament is a place for constructive debate, guided by principles of mutual respect and integrity.

He said any member found to breach parliamentary privileges will be reprimanded as required. “Such a Member, when found guilty of defamation or in contempt of Parliament or in breach of Parliamentary Privilege, would be liable to be reprimanded or by resolution suspended from the service of Parliament for a period not exceeding nine months or expelled from Parliament altogether,” he stated.

A formal investigation has been launched to identify the MP responsible for the offensive remarks. Bagbin confirmed that the Privileges and Ethics and Standards Committees would review the case and report to the House.

Call for Accountability

The Speaker urged the MP responsible to come forward voluntarily within a week. He advised the individual to take responsibility and opt for a plea bargain, warning of “dire consequences” if the investigation identified them instead.

“In the spirit of honor, accountability, and decorum, I advise the Member responsible for the remark to, within a week, choose a path of honesty, mea culpa, and opt for a plea bargain,” he said. “Taking this step would demonstrate good faith and respect for Parliamentary dignity.”

Bagbin reaffirmed his commitment to maintaining decorum in Parliament. He stressed that debates should be fair, and MPs must conduct themselves with honor, integrity, and respect. “While we may differ in our views and engage in spirited discussions, there is no room for language that seeks to offend, abuse, insult, demean, defame, blaspheme, impute proper motives, or impinge the integrity of a Member or any other person,” he stressed.

He concluded with a call for introspection, urging MPs to ensure that disagreements in parliament remain intellectual. He said disagreements should be a market of ideas and wisdom, not personal vendetta based on impulse, instincts, or emotions.

ANORA
OSCAR AWARDS-ANORA

The 97th Academy Awards, hosted by Conan O’Brien, took place on March 2, 2025, at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, celebrating the best in cinema over the past year. The movie “Anora” emerged as the night’s biggest winner, taking home the coveted Best Picture award and multiple other honours.

Anora Leads the Night with Multiple Wins and Top Honours

Mikey Madison won Best Actress for her role in “Anora,” defying expectations and beating frontrunner Demi Moore from “The Substance.” Adrien Brody secured the Best Actor award for his performance in “The Brutalist,” his second Oscar win following his 2003 victory for “The Pianist.” Sean Baker also earned the Best Director award for his work on “Anora.”

In the supporting categories, Zoe Saldaña made history by winning Best Supporting Actress for her role in “Emilia Pérez,” becoming the first American of Dominican origin to receive an Academy Award. Kieran Culkin claimed Best Supporting Actor for his role in “A Real Pain,” delivering a memorable and humorous acceptance speech.

“Flow” won the award for Best Animated Feature, while Brazil’s “I’m Still Here” took home the Oscar for Best International Feature. Peter Straughan’s adaptation of “Conclave” won Best Adapted Screenplay, and Sean Baker’s original script for “Anora” earned the Best Original Screenplay award.

Other notable winners included “Dune: Part Two” for Best Sound and Best Visual Effects, “The Brutalist” for Best Cinematography and Best Original Score, and “Wicked” for Best Costume Design and Best Production Design. “The Substance” claimed the award for best makeup and hairstyling.

The ceremony featured standout moments, including O’Brien’s playful and self-aware opening monologue and a surprise opening performance by Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo from “Wicked.” The show also acknowledged real-world heroes, honoring Los Angeles firefighters for their efforts battling recent wildfires.

Despite the celebration, the night was not without controversy. Karla Sofía Gascón’s historic Best Actress nomination for “Emilia Pérez” was overshadowed by backlash from resurfaced social media posts, drawing criticism from co-stars like Selena Gomez and Zoe Saldaña.

As the evening closed, the Oscars once again showcased Hollywood’s triumphs and trials, with “Anora” standing as the night’s most celebrated film.

Ghana’s Economy: Mahama’s Vision for Transparency and Accountability

President John Mahama has presented his economic vision aimed at curbing corruption and restoring confidence in Ghana’s economy.  Speaking at the National Economic Dialogue, the President emphasized that this event was to begin the process of engaging in honest, solution-driven discussions about the challenges and opportunities in Ghana. 

According to Mahama, Ghana’s economy has suffered from excessive government expenditures, resulting in record-high inflation, unemployment, and a loss of investor confidence. 

Curbing Corruption and Strengthening Governance

Mahama outlined his administration’s commitment to fighting corruption, particularly in government procurement processes. He cited an alarming case of financial mismanagement in poultry procurement, where a single-source contract resulted in a supplier selling items to the government at an inflated price.

To prevent such incidents, Mahama proposed strict procurement regulations, ensuring that single-source contracts become an exception rather than the norm. He also called for value-for-money audits for government projects exceeding a certain financial threshold.

Fiscal Discipline and Strengthening Ghana’s Economy

Mahama stressed the need for stringent fiscal responsibility, ensuring that every government expenditure delivers real value to the Ghanaian people. “We must enforce responsible public financial management, and ensure fiscal discipline at all levels of government while working to reduce hardships for our people,” he asserted.

A key aspect of his economic reform strategy involves restoring the independence of the Bank of Ghana. Under his leadership, Mahama vowed to ensure that the central bank implements prudent monetary policies to curb inflation, stabilize the currency, and rebuild foreign reserves.

He reaffirmed his government’s commitment to the prevention of reckless borrowing and excessive government spending. 

Building a Sustainable and Inclusive Economy

Beyond governance reforms, Mahama emphasized the need to transition Ghana’s economy from a raw-material-dependent economy to a value-added, industrialized one. Agriculture, he noted, remains a vital sector requiring modernization. He advocated for mechanization, improved irrigation, and technological innovations to enhance productivity and ensure food security.

The Path Forward

Mahama concluded by emphasizing that governance reforms must be underpinned by transparency and accountability. “Short-term convenience, which has informed economic decision-making in the past, must give way to medium- and long-term strategic planning,” he stated.

Calling for consensus-building and collective action, he reaffirmed his commitment to leading an administration that values consultation and inclusion. 

With a renewed focus on governance, fiscal responsibility, and economic transformation, Mahama signaled the beginning of a new era for Ghana. “Let us rise to the occasion, take decisive and necessary action, and ensure that we leave behind a legacy of economic resilience, stability, and prosperity for future generations,” he concluded.

About the National Economic Dialogue

The Economic Dialogue serves as a critical platform for addressing Ghana’s economic challenges and exploring sustainable solutions for growth. Bringing together a distinguished panel of economists, financial experts, policy analysts, and industry leaders, the forum aims to foster insightful discussions on key economic issues.

Moderated by seasoned professionals, including former Bank of Ghana Governor Dr. Paul Acquah, Dr. Edward K. Brown, Mr. Joe Mensah, Mr. Felix Addo, Prof. K. K. Sarpong, and Dr. Emmanuel Akwetey of IDEG, the discussions are designed to yield practical and consensus-driven recommendations.

Amid ongoing economic headwinds, the government sees this dialogue as a vital step toward boosting business confidence, improving infrastructure, and enhancing livelihoods. The forum aims to establish clear commitments and milestones to reset the economy and drive transformative change. Its outcomes are expected to serve as a roadmap for policy implementation, guiding economic strategies that promote resilience and long-term growth. As discussions unfold, Ghanaians look forward to concrete policy recommendations that will shape the nation’s economic future.

Mahama at economic dialogue 2025

President John Dramani Mahama has called for a decisive reset of Ghana’s economy. Speaking at the National Economic Dialogue, he outlined key strategies aimed at restoring macroeconomic stability, fostering industrialization, and shifting Ghana away from raw material exports toward value-added production.

He framed the current economic crisis as an opportunity for transformation rather than stagnation. Mahama emphasized the urgent need for solution-driven discussions, stating, “We are here to seek solutions… and to ensure that we build an economy that works for every Ghanaian. For me, this is not just another policy discussion. It is an urgent call to action.” 

Economic Crisis and the Path Forward

Mahama acknowledged the dire state of the economy, attributing it to years of financial mismanagement, reckless borrowing, and weak leadership. He highlighted Ghana’s default on its debt obligations as a devastating milestone that has led to declining investor confidence, high unemployment, and soaring inflation.

“The cost of living has skyrocketed to unbearable levels, leaving families grappling with the inability to afford even the most basic necessities, At the same time, inflation erodes the value of wages and savings, pushing many into a cycle of poverty,” he said. He also criticized the collapse of indigenous banks, which he believes significantly reduced Ghanaian presence in the financial sector and led to massive job losses.

Despite these challenges, Mahama rejected the notion that economic hardship must be Ghana’s norm. “We reject the notion that economic hardship must be our norm. We refuse to surrender to the forces of stagnation and decline. We are gathered here today because we believe in Ghana’s ability to rise again, reclaim our country’s economic strength, and emerge as a beacon of progress on the African continent, not only a beacon of democracy but a beacon of economic prosperity,” he asserted.

Key Strategies for Economic Transformation

Mahama’s plan focused on industrialization, value-added production, and the famous 24-hour economy to drive sustainable growth.

  1. Industrialization and Value-Added Production

Still speaking at the 2025 economic dialogue, Mahama said Ghana has long relied on raw material exports, such as gold, cocoa, and crude oil, making the economy vulnerable to global price fluctuations. He proposed a fundamental transformation, stating, “It is time to transition to a value-added industrialized economy that creates jobs. Boosts exports, and reduces our reliance on imports, manufacturing, and agro-processing must be expanded to ensure that we derive maximum value from our natural resources.”


He called for increased indigenous participation in the extraction of natural resources and a review of agreements governing the extractive industry.

  1. Governance Reforms and Fiscal Responsibility

Mahama stressed the importance of transparency and accountability in government expenditures. He vowed to curb excessive government spending, enforce responsible financial management, and ensure fiscal discipline. He said under his leadership, the Bank of Ghana’s independence will be safeguarded to implement prudent monetary policies that curb inflation, stabilize the currency, and rebuild Ghana’s foreign reserves.

Fiscal responsibility must become the bedrock of our national development strategy, and every single cent must deliver tangible value to the Ghanaian people. We must review our laws to eliminate excessive waste in the procurement of government supplies and projects,” he said.

He further condemned the misuse of sole-sourcing contracts, highlighting a procurement deal in which the government overpaid for supplies, costing the nation millions of cedis.

  1. Implementing a 24-Hour Economy

A key component of Mahama’s vision is the introduction of a 24-hour economy, which he believes will create sustainable jobs and enhance productivity.


Speaking about this initiative, Mahama said thriving economies embrace continuous productivity, ensuring that businesses, industries, and essential services operate around the clock to maximize growth and prosperity. He promised incentives and tax breaks for businesses that extend their operational hours, support for shift-based employment, and investments in infrastructure, energy, and security to facilitate the transition.


“We will strengthen key sectors such as manufacturing, retail, healthcare, logistics, and financial services to support such continuous operation. We will invest in infrastructure, energy, and security to ensure businesses and workers operate in a safe and efficient environment,” he said.

A Call for Collective Responsibility

at the economic dialogue, Mahama emphasized that economic transformation is a shared responsibility that requires the active participation of every Ghanaian. He reiterated his commitment to consensus building and stakeholder engagement, ensuring that economic reforms are informed by collective input.

“It is a shared responsibility that requires the active participation of every Ghanaian. Let us rise to the occasion, take decisive and necessary action, and ensure that we leave behind a legacy of economic resilience, stability, and prosperity for future generations,” he emphasized.

The National Economic Dialogue has set the stage for discussions that could shape Ghana’s economic future for years to come.

20% allowance for teachers in rural areas laudable-Nortsu-Kotoe

20% allowance
hon. norstu kotei- 20% allowance

The Member of Parliament for Akatsi North, Peter Kwasi Nortsu-Kotoe, has expressed support for President Mahama’s proposal to provide a 20% allowance to teachers who accept postings to rural areas.

During his State of the Nation Address on February 27, 2025, President John Dramani Mahama announced that the government will introduce a 20% allowance for teachers serving in rural areas.

This initiative aims to encourage teachers to accept and remain in their posts in underserved communities.

Mr. Mahama stated that district assemblies would be responsible for monitoring the scheme to ensure that teachers stay at their designated posts.

In an interview on Orange Sunrise, Mr. Nortsu-Kotoe believes that the 20% allowance initiative will motivate teachers to remain in these areas, thereby enhancing the quality of teaching and learning.

He noted that in many rural constituencies like his, teachers face challenges in staying in hard-to-reach communities due to a lack of amenities, including potable water, electricity, and network connectivity.

He explained that these challenges often lead to a teacher deficit in such areas, and this incentive could help lessen their struggles.

“If this incentive is giving to them, at least for the sacrifices they are going to make over there, it will give them the motivation to remain in the community and teach them,” he told host Alfa Ali.

The Member of Parliament also pointed out that the president may have forgotten another initiative which was aimed at providing teachers who stay in deprived communities for three years study leave with pay to further their education.

He believes that this additional measure could have significantly improved the teacher deficiency in rural areas.

Mahama’s claim of taking over a bad economy untenable- Manhyia South MP

The Member of Parliament for Manhyia South, Lawyer Nana Adjei Baffour Awuah, has refuted President Mahama’s claim that the economy left by the NPP government was in poor condition.

Speaking on the Orange Sunrise with Alfa Ali, he argued that there was substantial economic recovery, including a stable exchange rate and reduced inflation, at the time the NDC took over.

“Reports from the international financial organisations, like the IMF, the World Bank and other independent observers, pointed to the recovery economy and was on its way to doing well, so we were out of the woods. It wasn’t as bad as it used to and so even though we had acknowledged some economic challenges in the past, this time nobody can say that the economy is not out of the woods yet,” he indicated.

The Manhyia South MP further noted that inflation decreased to less than 30 percent from a previous high of 54 percent, alongside falling interest rates and improved economic indicators.

According to information from the financial ministry in 2024, the economic turnaround proved to be not only real but also swifter than anticipated by global financial institutions such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), as well as by economic analysts within Ghana.

Mr. Baffour Awuah, the Manhyia South MP urged the president to refrain from portraying the economy in such a negative light and to focus on finding sustainable solutions to the country’s challenges.

“SONA did not tackle critical issues”- Kwabre East MP

KWABRE EAST
KWABRE EAST MP

The Member of Parliament for Kwabre East, Onyina Acheampong Akwasi Gyamfi, has criticized President John Dramani Mahama’s state of the nation address. He stated that it failed to tackle several major challenges currently facing the country.

Speaking on the Orange Sunrise, the legislator compared the address to the NDC’s manifesto. He then described it as filled with lamentations rather than solutions.

He pointed out that critical issues, such as the revocation of appointments and the ongoing dumsor crisis, were missing from the President’s presentation.

“You had all this opportunity to tell us the state of what you have put in place, but it ended up being a manifesto reading. This is similar to their party manifesto. It never addressed issues like dumsor and the revocation of appointments,” he told host Alfa Ali.

The kwabre East MP further described President Mahama’s claim of resolving dumsor before leaving office in 2016 as a palpable falsehood.

He said the president was bent on shifting his inefficiency onto the previous government. Which he thinks should not be the case.

Mr. Akwasi Gyamfi also indicated that the current support and goodwill the NDC is experiencing from Ghanaians will not last forever. And so, they should be prepared for the impending reality.

“I am telling them that, this honeymoon period that they asked for and seem to be enjoying from Ghanaians will eventually come to an end. And they will have to face the reality,” the Kwabre East MP stated.

I come from a political family background – Hon. Onyina

Member of Parliament for Kwabre East, Hon. Akwasi Acheampong Onyina has disclosed that he comes from a political family background, where almost every one of his family member have worked in political offices, which subsequently fueled his political ambitions.

He made this revelation in an interview on Friday, February 28, 2025 with Alfa Ali on Orange Sunrise.

The lawmaker clearly stated that the first MP for Kwabre East, Asante Frimpong was his paternal grandfather – uncle of his father. He also added that his late father also served as the Bantama Constituency Chairman for the New Patriotic Party(NPP), rising through ranks to Electoral area coordinator, party treasurer and eventually the constituency chairman.

Hon. Onyina, however, stated that amongst his six siblings, he is the only child charting the political path, contributing his quota to national development.

Hon Onyina_Kwabre east MP

The Member of Parliament for Kwabre East, Hon. Onyina Acheampong Akwasi Gyamfi, has outlined a comprehensive development agenda to address the critical needs of his constituents. Speaking on Orange Sunrise with Alfa Ali, the MP highlighted key infrastructural and economic projects, emphasizing road construction, astroturf development, market improvements, and youth employment as his top priorities.

According to Hon. Onyina, the people of Kwabre East consistently express concerns about these four pressing issues. He also acknowledged the additional importance of what he described as “outliers,” such as health and education, in the constituency.

Focusing on sports infrastructure, he noted that Kwabre East, with a population of approximately 315,000, has a youth demographic constituting 62% of the total population. Recognizing the role of sports in youth development, the MP emphasized the significance of astroturf projects. “If you are just looking at an average growth rate of around 2%, we are now in the region of around 315,000, 320,000. It’s getting to a third of a million people in Kwabre East,” he remarked, adding that 62% of these people are youth. 

The MP acknowledged that essential parks, such as those in Ahwia and Mamponteng, have been rendered unusable due to incomplete construction. “The parks have been hijacked. It means you’ve placed stones on the field, and people can’t play,” he explained. As a legislator, he has taken steps to push for project completion by questioning relevant ministers and engaging key stakeholders. However, the stalled projects have caused frustration among the youth.

Addressing Youth Unemployment

With over two million unemployed persons in Ghana, Hon. Onyina acknowledged that Kwabre East, being predominantly youthful, faces serious economic challenges. He admitted that youth unemployment is a major concern, and it contributes to disturbances in some communities. While he noted an improvement in peace through collaborations, he stressed that sustainable solutions are needed.

To this end, the MP said he plans to enhance traditional businesses, including Kente weaving, craft-making, and other traditional businesses. 

Revitalizing the Kente Industry

Beyond infrastructure, the MP emphasized the economic potential of Kwabre East’s famed Kente industry. Recognizing kente as an iconic Ghanaian fabric with global appeal, Hon. Onyina said he aims to create new market access for local weavers. We have traditional businesses that are running. When you travel outside, hand-woven things are very expensive and are in high demand. My vision or what I intend doing is to get the fashion houses outside to take Kente as one of their fabrics,” he stated.

One of the key strategies he outlined is to establish collaborations with fashion houses abroad, integrating Kente into mainstream fashion. “Once this catches on, we create a huge demand for Kente,” he said. He cited Adanwomase, a well-known Kente hub, where many workers from the Volta Region have migrated to engage in weaving. He stated, however, that the youth of Kwabre East appear disinterested due to the industry’s low profitability.

According to him, buyers from Accra acquire Kente for as low as GH₵1,200, only to resell it for GH₵2,500 or more. “What happens is that even in Ghana, people from Accra come and order Kente at very cheap prices. And then you see it on the internet; they are selling it for 2,500. And then you can go to Kwabre East and Adanwomase and other places [they are selling it] for 1,200,” he revealed. 

He described this way of conducting business as a form of exploitation. “The guy will sit down for four or five days to weave this beautiful fabric and then someone will just come and buy it for cheap and sell it at 70% profit,” he lamented. To address this, he said he plans to formalize trade channels that allow artisans to sell Kente at fair prices to international buyers.

Hon. Onyina also disclosed plans for Kente tourism, targeting African Americans and other international visitors. He envisions a program where tourists experience the cultural heritage of Kente, learn about its origins, and even undergo initiation ceremonies granting them Ghanaian names. “It’s a whole spectacle altogether. It’s a real surreal experience,” he noted. 

The initiative aims to boost tourism revenue and further promote Kente as a global brand.

The Kente Thread Monopoly and the Need for Local Production

A major challenge facing the Kente industry is the high cost of raw materials, particularly weaving threads. Hon. Onyina revealed that the supply of Kente threads in Ghana is controlled by a near-monopoly, making prices unstable. “It’s not only one person who imports, but he is the biggest. And what happens is that he can increase or reduce as well. So, if he gets competition, what he does is that he will reduce it and he will keep the competition out,” he explained.

The MP said he is exploring government intervention to establish a local factory that can produce weaving threads at competitive prices. “So, currently we don’t have a factory in Ghana producing the threads. But it’s doable.”

Hon. Onyina Acheampong Akwasi Gyamfi remains committed to transforming Kwabre East through infrastructural improvements, youth development, and economic empowerment. His vision for the Kente industry, in particular, highlights the potential for global recognition and economic growth.
