Before dawn breaks at many of Ghana’s border communities, a network of small traders, transport operators and market sellers begins moving goods through routes that rarely appear in official trade records.Their main tool is not the heavy truck or container vehicle associated with international commerce, but the humble tricycle, locally known as ‘aboboyaa’, a small transport vehicle that has become a key driver of Ghana’s growing informal cross-border trade economy.Data from the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) shows that tricycles accounted for a significant share of goods moved through informal border channels between January and September 2025, carrying an average of…

Justice Gertrude Esaaba Sackey Torkornoo Of all the issues related to the controversial removal from office of Justice Gertrude Esaaba Sackey Torkornoo, Ghana’s third woman Chief Justice (CJ), I think the most concerning, if not the main, is this: that in her quest for justice, aiming to clear her name of wrongdoing, she has lost all her earned exit entitlements, too. Again, the ‘between a rock and a hard place’ predicament the 15th CJ found herself in, following the three petitions against her alleging misconduct and seeking her ouster, has left her without a position-related exit package or pension!…

“A communications network is truly tested not on a sunny day, but when disaster strikes and people need it most.” When torrential rains swept through parts of Ghana recently, the country watched familiar scenes unfold. Roads disappeared beneath floodwaters, homes and businesses were submerged, markets shut down, and emergency workers raced to reach stranded communities. As always, public debate centred on poor drainage, weak urban planning, blocked waterways and the devastating loss of lives. Those conversations were necessary. But amid all the discussion, one critical piece of national infrastructure received little attention: our telecommunications networks. That silence is remarkable…

The military acts on orders given by politicians who formulate defence policies. These policies may be developed with inputs from the military, whose expert advice may or may not be adopted by the politicians who appoint military officers to command positions. The West African sub region has never been on such tenterhooks as it is today, and defence and security experts are under no illusion about this. Despite years of military campaigns, extremists have not been subdued, notwithstanding the overwhelming firepower deployed against them, including by the sub region’s strongest military, Nigeria.

Policy Analyst Michael Kosi Dedey has expressed concern over what he describes as the growing influence of partisan politics on Ghana’s governance, arguing that politics has become more rewarding than professionalism and public service.According to him, the trend has resulted in many young people pursuing political careers immediately after school, often without the administrative or professional experience required for public office.Speaking on Accra-based Channel One TV’s Breakfast Daily programme on Wednesday, July 15, he contended that the development has contributed to poor leadership, weakened accountability and conduct that falls below the standards expected of public officials.”Politics has become more attractive…
A nation cannot become prosperous if it refuses to recognise where its people learn.There is a curious contradiction at the heart of Ghana’s development story. We celebrate education, invest in schools, debate universities, and argue over curricula. Every election brings fresh promises about classrooms, teachers, textbooks and examinations. Education has become one of the country’s defining political conversations.Yet one of Ghana’s largest and oldest institutions of learning is rarely mentioned.It has no vice chancellor.No graduation ceremonies.No lecture theatres.No prospectus.It appears nowhere in international university rankings, receives little public attention and is seldom discussed in national education policy with the seriousness…

The presidential clean-up exercise has come and gone leaving in its trail more filth on the streets than before it. It is amazing the success rating the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) awarded the exercise when, in our opinion and others, the task was hurriedly done, accounting therefore for the glaring challenges it has left behind in many suburbs of the city. Perhaps the GJA based its marking scheme on the number of uncollected garbage lining the streets of some parts of Accra. Perhaps it was a symbolic exercise to present the authorities as swiftly responding to an environmental situation…
