Researchers have called on Kenyan lawmakers to revise proposed amendments to the Startup Bill before they become law, warning that a ten-year age limit on what qualifies as a startup would systematically exclude the companies doing the most to power Kenya’s economy.  The call comes from a landmark study released this week by Endeavor Kenya. The report, titled Mapping the Kenyan Entrepreneurship Network, urges policymakers to stop classifying high-growth companies alongside small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and to overhaul support programs so they target the capital and talent needs that scaling founders consistently identify as their biggest barriers.

Ghana’s abortion law is relatively liberal. Abortion is legally permitted in the first trimester when a pregnancy endangers the mother’s life or physical or mental health, or when it is due to rape or incest. Thus, medication abortion has become more widely available. Medication abortion involves the use of mifepristone and misoprostol pills which stop pregnancy and enable the uterus to expel it naturally. When used correctly and with proper guidance it is an acceptable, effective and safe method. Despite the availability of this safe method, however, it’s not always used in Ghana, especially by young women. The 2017 Ghana…

Ghana’s inflation rate has fallen significantly to 3.3 percent in February 2026, marking one of the sharpest declines in recent years and signalling improving economic stability in the country. The slowdown follows months of monetary tightening by the Bank of Ghana, improved fiscal discipline under the International Monetary Fund (IMF) programme, and a stronger performance of the Ghanaian cedi, which has helped reduce import costs and ease pressure on consumer prices. Analysts say the development represents a major turnaround for the West African economy, which recorded inflation levels as high as 54 percent in 2022 during the height of its…

  The negative spectre of vote-buying in our political architecture, though a reality, is yet to receive the robust reversal procedures from stakeholders. As a feature of our democracy, unfortunately, it has made the occupation of competitive politics a preserve of the rich, an exclusion zone for the non-wealthy yet endowed with game-changing ideas and the passion for service to God and country. Those who are not rich enough to organise motorbike donations yet want to venture into this expensive occupation can only turn to borrowing money to be part of the equation. Members of Parliament (MPs) often complain about…

The author, Telviva’s Rob Lith Voice is the most unforgiving channel in business communication. It may seem odd to read that because, as we know, before telephones were invented, everything was face-to-face and involved speech, and then, for most the modern age, a good proportion of business affairs were conducted over the telephone. The internet disrupted this. Unlike e-mail, messaging or even video, where delays, hiccups or some imperfections tend to be tolerated, voice demands immediate clarity. A garbled sentence or a missed word during an urgent client call adds to the anxiety and stress and can derail outcomes. Hybrid…

By Adama Fuseini I remember my Social Studies classes vividly, sitting there as a child, learning Ghana’s history not as distant events but as living moments. I learned how we were colonized, how our dignity was stripped, and how Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah stood before the world and declared: “At long last, Ghana is free forever.” That stayed with me. It still does. What shaped me even more was his conviction that Ghana’s independence was incomplete if other African countries remained under colonial rule. That belief stretched my imagination beyond borders. It taught me that freedom is collective, not selfish.…
