Accra, May 6, GNA – Dr. Sania Nishtar, Chief Executive Officer of Gavi, has lauded Ghana’s health sector for its commitment and efficiency in immunisation, describing the country as a leader in vaccine coverage across Africa. 

She said Ghana had demonstrated strong leadership in immunisation over the past two decades and stressed the need to sustain the gains as Gavi phases out its support by 2030. 

Dr. Nishtar made the remarks after visiting health facilities in the Gomoa East District. 

She said that Ghana was at the forefront of immunisations, and its achievements were a direct result of its own efforts, adding that Gavi felt proud and honoured to be a partner in the process. 

“We have deep appreciation for our long-standing collaboration with Ghana to celebrate and we are proud to be part of this journey. 

“Ghana can of course lead by example, not only by maintaining high immunization performance, but also by sustaining domestic financing efforts and promoting inspiring their work in local and regional manufacturing,” she said 

Gavi, a global health alliance, works to expand access to immunisation in low-income countries, helping protect children from preventable diseases since its inception in 2000. 

Mr. Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, Minister of Health, said government was taking steps to prevent vaccine stockouts and ensure that every child was captured and immunised. 

He said government had taken co-financing commitments seriously, streamlining internal processes and removing the National Health Insurance Levy (NHIL) cap, which was already yielding results. 

“I have authorised a US$5 million interim transfer to UNICEF to ensure critical vaccines are available while we await the final approval of the NHIL allocation formula and broader effort to maintain a responsive and reliable supply chain,” he stated. 

“As Ghana prepares to transition from Gavi support by 2030, we are focused on sustainability. Our Interagency Coordinating Committee is developing an Investment Case for Immunization to secure long-term funding and enhance system performance, a key part of our roadmap to full ownership,” he added. 

The minister commended Gavi for its continued support over the past two decades, which had enabled Ghana to introduce new vaccines, build resilient health systems, and reach children in hard-to-reach areas. 

Dr. Kwame Amponsah-Achiano, Programme Manager of the Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI), said vaccinations had strengthened health systems and contributed to reducing under-five mortality. 

He said confirmed malaria cases among children under five had reduced due to the introduction of malaria vaccines.  

Hospital admissions and deaths from malaria in this age group had also declined. 

Dr. Amponsah-Achiano noted challenges, including inequities in vaccination coverage in urban and peri-urban districts and frequent breakdowns of cold chain equipment at the district level. 

To address these, he said EPI would focus on Ministry of Health-led collaboration to implement Ghana’s immunisation self-financing roadmap (2025–2029), introduce the HPV vaccine into routine vaccination in 2025, add a Hepatitis B birth dose to the schedule, and scale up malaria vaccine use in five remaining regions.

The Third Force Alliance Ghana has declared its support for the suspension of Chief Justice Gertrude Araba Esaaba Torkornoo, describing the move as lawful.

According to the coalition, the action taken by President John Dramani Mahama was not politically motivated, and none of his actions suggest that he acted outside the constitution.

Speaking at a press briefing held on Tuesday, May 6, General Secretary of the People’s National Convention (PNC), Awudu Ishaq, stated that the suspension of the Chief Justice demonstrates that judicial officials must be held accountable for misconduct.

“The suspension of the Chief Justice is not a celebration of anyone’s downfall but a celebration of constitutionalism. President Mahama’s decision is not partisan but a renewal of faith in the rule of law,” he said.

The Coalition also criticised the “Save the Judiciary” demonstration led by the New Patriotic Party (NPP), calling it flawed and reflective of the party’s declining credibility.

“The much-publicised demonstration held yesterday was monumentally flawed and reflective of the sinking image of the New Patriotic Party. What a whole micro minority leader, Osahene Alexander Afenyo-Markin, did paints nothing but a clear picture of a group of people desperately trying to rebuild their tattered political ground,” the coalition added.

Further addressing the matter, the group made several recommendations, including a constitutional amendment to Article 146 of the 1992 Constitution.

“We recommend that the initial determination of a prima facie case, even in the case of the Chief Justice, be conducted by an independent judicial body rather than the President in consultation with the Council of State. This will ensure greater impartiality,” they proposed.

The Third Force Alliance is a coalition of some registered political parties in Ghana, including the CPP, PNC, GFP, GCPP, and APC.

Deborah Seyram Adablah, the former National Service person at the center of a high-profile legal dispute with a banker, has been sentenced to 45 days in prison.

The May 6 sanction is for contempt of court after posting disparaging remarks about judges handling her case.

She was summoned to the Accra High Court to appear in court to explain why she should not be held in contempt for two viral videos in which she criticized the judiciary.

The videos, which circulated widely on social media, were previously played in open court and deemed to undermine the authority and dignity of the court.

The case stems from Adablah’s long-running legal battle with a banker over alleged breach of contract in a widely publicized dispute that began two years ago.

The court ruled in November 2023 that the case lacked merit after it agreed that no substantive issue was raised by Deborah Seyram Adablah in her suit.

The recent videos, however, shifted focus to her direct criticism of the judiciary, prompting the court to summon her.

In the end, the court proceeded to convict and sentence her to 45 days’ imprisonment for contempt.

Background

Ms. Adablah’s lawsuit, filed on January 23, 2023, alleged that Mr. Ernest Kwasi Nimako, whom she referred to as her “sugar daddy,” had made several promises to her.

Among the promises were the purchase of a car, payment for her accommodation for three years, a monthly stipend of GH¢3,000, marriage after divorcing his wife, and a lump sum to start a business.

Adablah claimed that Mr. Nimako took back the initially registered car after just a year and paid for only one year of accommodation, despite the promised three years.

In her court plea, Ms. Adablah sought an order for the “sugar daddy” to transfer the car’s title to her and return the vehicle. She also demanded the court order Mr. Nimako to fulfill the promised lump sum for starting a business.

Additionally, Ms. Adablah requested the court to instruct Mr. Nimako to pay the outstanding two years’ accommodation and cover her medical expenses resulting from a family planning treatment advised by the defendant.

Member of Parliament for Bolgatanga Central, Isaac Adongo

The Member of Parliament (MP) for Bolgatanga Central, Isaac Adongo, has noted that the government’s current economic measures, rooted in John Mahama’s vision, are proving effective, particularly with the introduction of the Gold Board.

“We’ve not exited the woods yet, but we’re finally managing well,” he said.

According to him, the establishment of the Gold Board has not only restored confidence in Ghana’s financial ecosystem but is quickly becoming the “single most important policy to anchor stability.”

“The Gold Board is already having a visible impact on the interbank market. Even before it becomes fully operational, we’re seeing relative stability return,” he stated in an interview on GHOne TV’s State of Affairs, monitored by MyNewsGh.

Adongo credited this progress to a team led by Sammy Gyamfi and the Ministry of Finance, applauding their early achievements in reducing pressure on the forex market.

He emphasised that speculative demand for the dollar has significantly declined.

“The forex bureau market has been tamed. We now enforce that dollars are used strictly for transactional purposes, not for hoarding,” he explained.

The MP added that gold trade, once informal and riddled with loopholes, is now being centralised under the Gold Board, which pegs gold prices to interbank forex rates.

This, he said, has dismantled the speculative behaviors that once destabilised the currency market.

“We’ve effectively neutralised Abochi’s dollar dominance. In fact, Abochi doesn’t even have the dollar anymore,” he added, referencing informal market dealers.

Nana Akua Afriyie (L) and Adamu Mussah Kalamu

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Parliamentary Candidate for Ablekuma North, Nana Akua Afriyie, appears to have threatened to frustrate the nomination of Adamu Mussah Kalamu as the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for the area.

Speaking in an interview with Citi TV during the #SaveTheJudiciaryDemo on Monday, May 5, 2025, she suggested that she intended to give Adamu Mussah Kalamu, the Ablekuma North Constituency Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), a taste of his own medicine.

“The NDC organiser has been nominated. I’m 100% aware. I’m only laughing,” the NPP parliamentary candidate said while giggling.

Using an Akan proverb, she hinted at retaliating for what she claimed was Kalamu’s persistent effort to frustrate her campaign to be elected Member of Parliament for Ablekuma North, in collaboration with the NDC parliamentary candidate, Ewurabena Aubynn.

“In Akan, we say something like, ‘If you don’t allow your friend to harvest the number 9, you will not be able to harvest 10,’” she said.

When asked whether her statement constituted a threat, Akua Afriyie responded with a question, “You should also answer me. If you don’t allow your friend to harvest the number 9, will you be able to harvest 10?.”

The Ablekuma North Constituency remains the only constituency without representation in the 9th Parliament of Ghana.

The Electoral Commission of Ghana annulled the declaration of the NDC’s Ewurabena Aubynn as the winner of the Ablekuma North parliamentary seat.

Since then, efforts to recollate the election results have proven futile, with the process repeatedly marred by violence and misunderstanding.

Accra, May 6, GNA – Experts have urged innovation in precision farming and regulatory support to modernise Ghana’s agriculture for food sustainability and security.   

 The call came at the Graphic Business/Stanbic Bank breakfast meeting held on the theme: “Future of food, the critical place of sustainable practice.”   

 The discussion follows government initiatives like Feed Ghana Programme, Feed Industry Programme, Agriculture for Jobs, and Agriculture for Economic Transformation Agenda (AETA) to boost food production and security.   

 Speakers warned illegal mining, extreme weather, and global trade tensions posed a “serious threat” to Ghana’s food systems.  

They called for a shift to organic farming, data-driven technology, financial investment, and government support.   

 Professor Kester Quist-Aphetsi, Chair of the National Cyber Intelligence and Cyber Defence Research Project, urged the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in agriculture.   

 “In the future, there will be sensors… that will communicate with other external systems in terms of, if you eat this particular amount, what will happen to you,” he said, adding that such technology will aid farming and food storage.   

 He emphasised ‘precision agriculture,’ which optimises resources through technology to ensure long-term food security.   

 “This approach doesn’t just promise better yields—it offers a sustainable path forward for a nation where agriculture remains the backbone of the economy,” Prof. Quist-Aphetsi said.   

 He noted that university students were developing precision agriculture technologies locally, reducing reliance on costly foreign imports.   

 “With continued support for these educational initiatives and broader adoption of student-developed technologies, Ghana could position itself as a leader in agricultural innovation for the entire continent,” he said.   

 Prof. Francis Atsu, a Climate Risk Professional, called for integrating climate change, land, energy, and water systems while shifting to ‘organic and natural farming.’   

 “Ghana must adopt global scope of agricultural practices, including the use of climate resilient inputs, early yielding materials, harvesting of rain for irrigation purposes, and stop the use of synthetic chemicals,” he said.   

 Kwamena Asomaning, Chief Executive Officer of Stanbic Bank Ghana, called for systemic reforms, warning that “failure to act today will make the hunger and inflation tomorrow more severe.”    

 Proposed reforms include boosting rural storage and cold infrastructure, expanding irrigation, providing targeted financing, adopting agritech, and implementing supportive government policies.

Mining giants AngloGold Ashanti PLC and Gold Fields have announced a pause in discussions regarding a proposed joint venture to merge their Iduapriem and Tarkwa gold mines in Ghana. This decision comes two years after initial talks began in March 2023.

The proposed merger, which aimed to create Africa’s largest gold mine, was initially met with optimism. Both companies engaged in prolonged negotiations with the Ghanaian government to secure the necessary regulatory approvals.

However, in a recent statement, AngloGold Ashanti revealed that it had made significant discoveries within its updated standalone mine plan for Iduapriem, prompting a reassessment of its strategic priorities.

“The companies have decided to pause discussions around the joint venture to allow them to focus on improving the current, standalone performance at their respective sites, while also allowing AngloGold Ashanti to consolidate the improvements to its long-term mining plan, which currently shows the highest value of its options,” part of the statement from AngloGold Ashanti PLC read.

Located in Ghana’s Western Region, the Iduapriem mine lies about 70km north of Takoradi and just 10km southwest of Tarkwa, creating a compelling case for operational synergy.

Iduapriem has been producing gold since 1992 and became part of AngloGold Ashanti’s portfolio through its merger with Ashanti Goldfields in 2002.

In 2024, the mine produced 237,000 ounces of gold at a cash cost of $1,118 per ounce.

While the merger could have significantly increased efficiency and output, both companies are now prioritising the optimisation of their individual operations.

No timeline has been provided for a potential resumption of talks, but both firms have left the door open for future collaboration, depending on evolving operational and market dynamics.

Accra, May 6, GNA – Mr Sam Nartey George, the Minister of Communication and Digitalisation, has underscored the critical importance of standardised specifications in protecting Ghana’s fibre optic infrastructure.

The Minister said just as essential utilities like water and electricity were catered for during roadworks, digital infrastructure such as fibre optic cables must be treated as a vital lifeline.

The Minister made these remarks virtually at the 24th edition of the Chamber of Telecommunications Knowledge Forum in Accra, which was attended by the Director-General of the National Communications Authority (NCA) and representatives from various telecommunications companies in Ghana.

The forum, on the theme, “Leveraging Fibre for Accelerated Development”, also saw the unveiling of the Telecommunication Industry Optic Fibre Minimum Specifications and Standards Manual.

This document is aimed at guiding and harmonising the deployment of fibre optic infrastructure across Ghana.

The document is an industry-developed manual which sets the benchmark for fibre optic deployment in Ghana and our collective journey toward resilient and future-ready infrastructure.

He revealed ongoing discussions with the Ministry of Roads and Highways to ensure better coordination and protection of these crucial communication lines during infrastructure development projects.

Mr Nartey George expressed strong support for the Ghana Chamber of Telecommunications’ initiative in developing industry-wide fibre optic minimum specifications and standards.

This is not merely a technical document but a vital regulatory and governance tool that will ensure uniformity, safety, and interoperability across all fibre deployments, both underground and aerial, he said.

The minister cautioned that without those standardised specifications, Ghana risked fragmentation, continued destruction of infrastructure, inefficiency, and high maintenance costs.

The Minister stressed that those standards, covering aspects from trenching depth to splicing procedures, were essential as the nation pushes towards increased broadband coverage, especially in rural communities.

The Minister stated that the protection of fibre infrastructure is non-negotiable and called for a collective effort from all stakeholders, including communication operators, infrastructure providers, municipalities, and contractors.

He urged them to actively participate in shaping Ghana’s fibre future by adhering to and refining standards.

A solid and resilient fibre infrastructure is paramount to achieving this goal and positioning Ghana as a digital hub in West Africa, he emphasized.

He commended the Ghana Chamber of Telecommunications, the technical team, and all stakeholders for their contribution to the significant milestone and supported the regulator, the National Communications Authority (NCA), in its move to convert these industry standards into national standards.

Nigerian celebrities lit up the 2025 Met Gala with bold, culturally infused fashion statements, proudly representing Africa on the global stage.

Held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the annual high-fashion event once again welcomed some of Nigeria’s finest talents, including music stars Burna Boy, Tems, and Ayra Starr, renowned author Chimamanda Adichie and renowned fashion designer Swanky Jerry.

This year’s theme, ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,’ called for refined interpretations of Black identity and heritage through precision tailoring—a challenge Nigerian attendees embraced with flair and confidence.

Tems (Temilade Openiyi) stunned in a custom African-inspired outfit that beautifully merged traditional Aso-Ebi prints with Western haute couture design. Her appearance turned heads, earning praise for seamlessly blending heritage with innovation.

Burna Boy (Damini Ogulu) wore a standout ensemble by Ghanaian-British designer Ozwald Boateng. Describing it as “specially made,” the Grammy-winning artiste’s look drew attention for its elegant craftsmanship. A viral video later showed him celebrating the night alongside UK rapper Central Cee.

Ayra Starr brought her signature “sabi girl” energy in a bold, floor-length gown that was both minimal and striking, capturing her youthful style and fearless attitude.

Chimamanda exuded poise in a powerful red gown, proving her sartorial prowess matched her literary acclaim. She also served on the Met Gala’s 2025 Costume Institute Benefit host committee, joining other prominent figures like Usher, Tyla, Dapper Dan, Ayo Edebiri and Doechii.

Celebrity stylist Jeremiah Ogbodo, better known as Swanky Jerry, arrived in a head-turning design by Deji and Kola. Sharing his look on social media, he wrote: “On duty for Met Gala 2025, superfine. 

Tailoring black style. When the theme calls for legacy, I deliver. Heritage in every stitch. Legacy in every look. Style crafted. Culture honoured.”

American-Nigerian actress Ayo Edebiri also drew praise for her look, which featured subtle nods to Benin heritage while maintaining sleek Western aesthetics. Her hairstyle and outfit bridged African tradition and global fashion trends.

The Met Gala, held annually on the first Monday in May, remains fashion’s most exclusive night. Officially known as the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala, the event raises funds for the museum’s Costume Institute. Since 1995, it has been led by Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, who continues to guide the event’s global influence.

In the heart of every democracy lies a sacred institution—the Judiciary. It stands as the guardian of justice, the protector of rights, and the final shield against tyranny. Today, in Ghana, this last frontier of our democracy is under siege.

From his days in opposition, President John Mahama and key members of the current ruling party have persistently cast aspersions on the superior courts of our land. Now in power, this hostility has escalated into action. The recent suspension of the Chief Justice, based on ambiguous and questionable petitions, has taken place without the publication of any clear evidence establishing a prima facie case.

This action, cloaked in procedural ambiguity, represents a dangerous precedent—one that threatens the very soul of our Republic. We, in the New Patriotic Party (NPP), along with several concerned political actors, sound the alarm. This is not just an internal matter—it is a national emergency that demands the voice and action of every stakeholder who cherishes the rule of law, democratic balance, and freedom.

We call on:

1. Media Houses and Journalists

Your role as the Fourth Estate is indispensable. A politically captured judiciary silences whistleblowers, criminalises dissent, and enables authoritarianism. If justice can be manipulated, then press freedom is next in line. Ghana’s media must speak boldly, investigate courageously, and hold power accountable.

2. Civil Society Organizations (CSOs)

You have long stood as the moral conscience of our nation. A compromised judiciary weakens every civic victory, whether it be in human rights, anti-corruption, gender equity, or youth advocacy. The absence of judicial independence will collapse the very scaffolding on which you build progress.

3. Diplomatic Missions and International Partners

Ghana has earned international respect as a beacon of democratic stability. But what is democracy without judicial independence? We urge you to speak out, as you have done elsewhere in Africa and beyond, when institutions are weakened for political convenience. Now is not the time for silence.

4. Foreign Investors

Your investments thrive under the assurance of impartial courts, property rights, and contract enforcement. A politically subservient judiciary puts your capital at risk. The rule of law is a fundamental pillar of economic confidence. Protecting the courts is protecting your bottom line.

5. Ghanaian Businesses and Entrepreneurs

If political influence can determine court outcomes, then no business is safe. Commercial disputes, land ownership, licensing—all rely on credible judicial arbitration. A weak judiciary invites corruption, weakens enforcement, and disrupts fair competition. Your voice matters in defending an impartial legal system.

Ghana’s Executive is in the hands of the NDC. Parliament is under their control. The Judiciary remains our last hope to preserve the balance of power, protect citizens’ rights, and prevent the consolidation of absolute control. Today, it is the Chief Justice. Tomorrow, it could be any judge, citizen, journalist, or entrepreneur who dares to stand for truth.

Let us rise, together, to say: Ghana will not allow its Judiciary to be captured. Let us defend the law, protect our democracy, and secure the future for generations unborn.

This is a call to action. This is a call to conscience. Let us act—before it is too late.

Industry insiders suggest the company aims to create a full-stack chip supply chain

GhanaWeb Feature by Mawuli Ahorlumegah

In a move that could redefine the global tech supply chain, Chinese telecoms giant Huawei is quietly building a state-of-the-art semiconductor production line, an ambitious step designed to reduce the country’s reliance on foreign technology and counter intensifying Western export controls.

According to a recent Financial Times report, the Shenzhen-based company is rapidly assembling infrastructure and talent to produce advanced chips domestically.

This bold initiative signals China’s escalating effort to insulate itself from geopolitical vulnerabilities in the wake of increasing U.S.-led restrictions targeting its access to cutting-edge semiconductors and manufacturing equipment.

Huawei’s project is being developed in partnership with local governments and state-affiliated entities, underscoring how central the semiconductor battle has become to China’s broader national strategy.

Industry insiders suggest the company aims to create a full-stack chip supply chain, from design to fabrication, bypassing Western firms and minimizing exposure to foreign sanctions.

“Breaking the foreign chokehold on core tech is no longer an option, it’s a necessity. Huawei’s chip initiative isn’t just about survival; it’s about establishing a new global tech order,” a Chinese industry analyst familiar with the matter told FT.

Huawei, once at the forefront of global 5G networks, was placed on a U.S. trade blacklist in 2019, which cut it off from key suppliers like Qualcomm and TSMC. The move crippled its smartphone business and halted progress on advanced chip designs. Yet the company has since staged a quiet resurgence, launching its Mate 60 Pro smartphone in 2023 with a domestically made 7nm processor, an engineering feat many believed was years away.

The new production line aims to take that progress even further. While it remains unclear how soon Huawei can achieve full independence from Western chipmaking tools, many of which are monopolised by firms in the U.S., Netherlands, and Japan, its direction is clear: technological sovereignty.

The initiative dovetails with Beijing’s broader push under the “Made in China 2025” policy, which aims to make the country a dominant force in high-tech sectors including semiconductors, AI, and robotics. State funding, regulatory support, and an emerging ecosystem of chip startups are reinforcing these ambitions.

Still, experts caution that technological independence in semiconductors is an uphill battle. China lags in key areas such as extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography and high-end fabrication tools, which are critical for producing chips under 5nm.

While Huawei’s initiative is laudable, it may take years and billions in R&D, to match the capabilities of industry giants like TSMC and Intel.

Nevertheless, the company’s resilience is earning it a second wind domestically.

Analysts say Huawei’s new chip line, if successful, could become a national symbol of defiance and ingenuity in the face of Western pressure.

“The world should not underestimate China’s resolve. This is no longer just about Huawei. It’s about rewriting the rules of the global tech game,” another semiconductor expert said.

As geopolitical tensions continue to reshape global trade and technology networks, Huawei’s chip gambit may mark a new era, not just for China, but for the entire semiconductor industry.
