Prophet Owusu Bempah   They must be isolated and condemned who exhibit religious intolerance and bigotry in their utterances and posturing. Ghana’s worthy-of-emulation interfaith harmony has occasionally been threatened by the reckless and irresponsible remarks by some identifiable personalities, a worrying trend which cuts across the faith lines. This unworthy tendency was played out in the run-up to the last elections as part of a package intended to inflict injury to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential candidate and create a wedge between the two most prominent Abrahamic faiths – Christianity and Islam.

It must represent more than a travel document. It must signify that every Ghanaian citizen, regardless of the allegations against them, is entitled to the full protection of Ghana’s Constitution, our courts, and the rule of law before being surrendered to another jurisdiction.This is not an argument against fighting cybercrime, organised crime or international fraud. Nor is it a defence of anyone accused of those offences. Ghana must never become a refuge for romance fraudsters, money launderers or transnational criminals. If there is a legitimate case to answer, then that case must indeed be answered.But there is an equally important…

Some influencers stage fabricated scenes, manipulate news headlines, or strip videos of their original context specifically to ride trending waves and capture algorithmic…

The national conversation around sanitation in Ghana continues to reveal an uncomfortable truth: we have normalised mediocrity and elevated performative activism over serious policy. A striking example is the recent chorus demanding that corporate institutions—such as Cal Bank—abandon their core mandate to desilt gutters. Expecting a financial institution to compromise customer service, where clients may have urgent, life‑critical transactions, simply to participate in a symbolic cleanup exercise is misguided. These one‑day campaigns are unsustainable; gutters cleared today are routinely clogged again within a week.If the state genuinely intends to mobilise the entire population, it should declare a formal national sanitation…
