Deputy Minister of Agriculture, John Dumelo, has officially launched the Bridge in Agriculture Programme, a transformative initiative aimed at providing affordable capital and technical support for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in agriculture and related sectors across Ghana.

Speaking at the launch on Thursday, May 29, Mr Dumelo highlighted the importance of the programme in Ghana’s drive for inclusive, technology-driven, and youth-centred agricultural transformation.

He expressed the government’s appreciation to the Mastercard Foundation for its bold vision and commitment to creating dignified and fulfilling employment opportunities for young people across Africa.

“Agriculture employs close to 40% of Ghana’s total workforce and supports about 75% of the rural population,” he stated.

“However, the sector still faces critical challenges including limited access to finance, climate vulnerabilities, inadequate infrastructure, and a slow adoption of modern practices.”

He noted that the Bridge in Agriculture Programme is a strategic breakthrough, with $87 million allocated through partner banks to support agribusinesses, particularly those led by women and youth. Loans under the programme will be offered at interest rates not exceeding 7%, with extensive hands-on capacity building for beneficiaries.

The initiative is expected to benefit over 400,000 Ghanaian youth, 70% of whom will be women, and is aligned with the Ministry of Agriculture’s “Food to Feed Ghana” programme. The goal is to transition young entrepreneurs from subsistence farming to commercially viable and technologically enabled enterprises that are competitive in both domestic and international markets.

Encouraging the youth, Mr Dumelo advised, “Start small, grow gradually, and you will become bigger one day.”

Fanta Fandi, Programme Lead for the Bridge in Agriculture Programme, described it as a flagship initiative of the Mastercard Foundation developed in 2023.

She explained that the Foundation is providing partner banks with 0% interest repayable grants to lend to SMEs at a capped rate of 7%, with embedded guarantees and additional funds to cover higher loan monitoring costs within the agriculture sector.

Fandi added that so far, the programme has impacted about 86,000 young Ghanaians aged 18 to 35 with new or improved work opportunities.

Business development service providers are also training participants in vocational and digital skills and connecting them to dignified employment opportunities.

The programme is being implemented through a partnership between the Mastercard Foundation and CrossBoundary Advisory, which leads a consortium of ten partners. The consortium includes Africa Skills Hub and iBuilders Africa (business development providers), Peswa (a technology provider), and other strategic partners working to deliver lasting impact in Ghana’s agriculture sector.

Andy Appiah-Kubi, lawyer for embattled Ashanti Regional NPP Chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, has expressed disappointment in Deputy Attorney General, Justice Srem-Sai, over his public remarks regarding ongoing investigations.

Speaking in an interview on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem, Mr. Appiah-Kubi criticised the Deputy AG for making prejudicial comments while the matter is still under investigation.

According to him, no formal charges have been filed against Wontumi yet, and the case is still under investigation by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).

“As we speak, no official charges have been brought against my client. EOCO is still in the preliminary stages of investigation.

“The only issue under probe, as I understand it, is whether some of Wontumi’s dealings have caused financial loss to the state. That’s the first stage, not the conclusion,” he stated.

Appiah-Kubi stressed that the proper legal processes must be followed and warned against trial by public opinion.

“Prosecution is done in a court of law, not on social media or in public statements. “It’s very shocking and disappointing that such sensitive information was released to the public before we were officially served. This undermines justice and the human rights of my client” he noted.

He also reacted to the Deputy AG’s post on X (formerly Twitter), where Justice Srem-Sai confirmed that Wontumi is under investigation for offences including fraud, causing financial loss to the state, and money laundering.

In his post, Justice Srem-Sai wrote that Bernard Antwi Boasiako is under investigation for “various criminal offences (including fraud, causing financial loss to the State, and money laundering).”

The Deputy AG added that the investigation is running alongside asset recovery processes to prevent further dissipation of what law enforcement agencies believe to be proceeds of crime.

But Appiah-Kubi believes the public statement was premature and unnecessary.

“At the end of the day, if it turns out that the charges are not even valid, the damage would have already been done,” he argued.

“We expect the office of the Attorney General to act with professionalism and fairness, not be influenced by sentiment or public pressure.”

He further disclosed that Wontumi remains in custody after failing to meet his bail conditions.

He noted that efforts are underway to secure sureties and secure his release.

“Our focus now is to meet the bail conditions, but until then, let’s not crucify him before the facts are laid bare in court.”

Appiah-Kubi concluded by calling on the Attorney General’s office to uphold justice without political or emotional interference.

“Let justice be done according to law—not based on social media narratives.”

The late Major Maxwell Mahama who was lynched by some residents of Denkyira Obuasi

Captain (Rtd) Denis Mahama Adams, father of the late Major Maxwell Mahama, has called for an end to mob justice as the family commemorates eight years since his brutal killing.

In a solemn tribute shared on the Ghana Armed Forces’ X page on May 29, 2025, the family was seen laying wreath at the grave of the fallen soldier.

Major Mahama was tragically lynched in Denkyira Obuasi, Central Region, on May 29, 2017 – a crime that shook the nation.

His father expressed deep gratitude to the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) for their unwavering support since the tragedy that claimed his son’s life.

“We are here to honor Major Mahama and ensure his legacy continues to inspire the nation,” Captain (Rtd) Denis Mahama Adams stated.

He condemned mob justice, calling it an unacceptable practice that must end.

“I urge all Ghanaians to uphold the rule of law and reject such acts,” he said.

During the solemn ceremony at Osu Cemetery in Accra, family members took turns laying wreaths in remembrance of the late soldier.

The commemoration coincided with the 77th United Nations Day for Peacekeepers, a day dedicated to celebrating the courage of soldiers who risk their lives daily to safeguard citizens and maintain peace.

“Most people prefer to be called honorable, but for me, it’s always been ‘Reverend.’ I even prefer ‘Fodjour,’” he told Roselyn Felli in an interview on Joy Prime monitred by MyNewsGh.

Minority Chief Whip and Member of Parliament for Nsawam-Adoagyire constituency, Frank Annoh Dompreh, has claimed that Mr Antwi Boasiako, the NPP’s Ashanti Regional Chairman, has refused to eat in protest against his detention conditions, describing the supposed hunger strike as a desperate measure amid what he terms “shocking” treatment by EOCO officials.

His comments come after the Minority caucus, along with NPP supporters, protested at the EOCO office on Thursday, to demand a review of the bail conditions and the immediate release of Chairman Wontumi, who has been in custody for over 48 hours.

The NPP members claimed that the GH₵50 million bail sum is excessive and unfair and insisted they were going to remain at the EOCO headquarters until Wontumi was released, although they eventually left the scene after three hours.

Speaking to JoyNews, Mr Dompreh expressed shock at the bail conditions imposed and criticised EOCO officials for allegedly denying legal counsel access to Mr Antwi Boasiako.

“Considering the bail conditions and the conduct of the EOCO officials—especially their refusal to grant us access—it is shocking. Even in a murder case, the suspect’s legal counsel is allowed access,” he said.

The MP described the situation as a deliberate strategy to persecute Mr Antwi Boasiako, alleging that the treatment contravenes principles of justice and fairness.

He claimed that the detained chairman has refused to eat and is currently on a hunger strike in protest.

“The truth of the matter is that he has refused to eat and is therefore on a hunger strike. No one is communicating with us officially,” Mr Dompreh added.

Despite the lack of official communication, the MP confirmed that Mr Antwi Boasiako has been taken to the NIB Clinic for medical attention.

George Kwarteng Adenta is a member of the NPP Communications Team

A member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Communications Team, George Kwarteng Adenta, has raised strong concerns over the continued detention of NPP Ashanti Regional Chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).

In a post on his official Facebook page, Kwarteng stated that Wontumi has been in custody for more than 48 hours without being released, an act he described as a violation of his fundamental human rights.

“More than 48 hours and Chairman Wontumi is still in EOCO custody. This constitutes a violation of his fundamental human rights,” Kwarteng wrote.

He further called on President John Dramani Mahama to pay close attention to the situation, cautioning that the actions of state agencies under his leadership could have serious legal and political consequences.

“President Mahama must be concerned about the implications of his administration’s actions,” Kwarteng warned, suggesting that the continued detention reflects poorly on the rule of law and democratic principles.

Wontumi, a key regional figure within the NPP, is currently under investigation for alleged financial crimes, including fraud and money laundering. His legal team and party supporters have accused the government of using EOCO to carry out political vendettas.

The NPP has maintained that while it supports the rule of law, investigations must be conducted fairly, within legal timelines, and without bias.

Clinical Surgeon and lecturer at the University of Ghana, Professor Kwame Yamoah Kyei, has disclosed that 7 to 8 out of 10 men in the country suffer from erection and urinal issues.

According to him, research he conducted revealed that most individuals in the country are grappling with these issues.

However, he indicated that the problem can still be managed and repaired by medics when reported early.

Speaking at the inaugural lecture at UG titled “Naked but not Ashamed: Revealing for Good Outcomes in the Management of Genitourinary Disorders” on May 29, 2025, Professor Yamoah admonished people to check their blood levels biannually.

“I agree that there are a few complications, issues about erection, issues about urine control. But in our last work, we realised that the majority of people – maybe 7 or 8 out of 10 – have such a challenge.

“And those challenges can still be managed and managed effectively. So, it is a viable option for you if you’re younger. If you’re 45, 55, or 60 and want to live to 88 or 90, I would suggest that you consider surgery as a possible option. The message is clear: after 50 years, check your blood level with PSA every two years,” he said.

The Surgeon further added, “If your doctor realises that your levels are approaching critical, we may ask you to do it yearly. Don’t wait till your level is 400 or beyond, that could be bad news. As I said, for a PSA of 4.5 or 4.8, he could take his time and choose the period for further assessment. The kidney is one of the organs we have to deal with; kidney cancer is the third most common cancer we encounter.”

Watch Professor Yamoah’s remarks below:

The former head of IT at the Ghana’s embassy in Washington DC, Fred Kwarteng, has broken his silence on the scandal, addressing the incident for the first time.

Speaking in an interview with Asempa 94.7 FM on May 29, 2025, Fred Kwarteng rejected the assertion by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, arguing that he had not engaged in an illegality at the embassy as widely propagated.

He explained that the services he provided for clients had nothing to do with his responsibilities at the embassy.

He stated that he only came up with an idea to facilitate service delivery to customers of the embassy, and these services did not affect any revenue due the embassy.

“I was working for the embassy. However, in this case, I was being paid for the other stuff that I did for the embassy. This other service was to offer solution for outsiders. They were paying me to go buy their return envelopes, prepare their labels, and make sure they could receive timely communication up to the time it gets delivered to them. These are two different things.

“If I had put a charge on coming up with that idea, for example, a certain amount of money the government should pay me for coming up with this intellectual idea, and I’m still operating it, it is a different ball game… I did not ask for money,” he said.

He added, “So, if I say that instead of putting the burden on the embassy, let us put the burden on the applicant by finding a way to solve their problem how does it constitute a crime (sic). The system added verification and communicated with them. When there was an issue, they were being communicated to.”

He stated that no Ghanaian has complained about the service he has provided to them.

He added that the focus of the discussion should be the fact that he found a way of improve the services of the embassy.

“For all these years, did anybody go online or on social media to say that somebody had stolen his or her money or passport? No, there were no complaints.

“So, can we look at the good side which is the fact that people were benefiting, and forget about the fact that somebody was benefiting from a concept he put together?” he asked.

He asserted that authorities at the embassy knew about the service he was providing.

He added that if he had been doing something bad, they would not have put the link to the service on the embassy’s website for everybody to see.

About the closure:

Ghana’s embassy in Washington, DC was closed on Monday, May 26, 2025, following allegations of corrupt practices within the institution.

Announcing the decision, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa stated that an audit had uncovered that a local staff member, Fred Kwarteng, along with accomplices within the Washington DC embassy, had unlawfully collected unapproved fees through an unauthorised link integrated into the embassy’s official website.

Fred Kwarteng was also alleged to have diverted funds from visa and passport application processes to a privately owned company he secretly established, using it as a conduit to embezzle public funds, an illegality that reportedly persisted for five years.

“With the firm support of President Mahama, I have carried out the following drastic and decisive actions following the damning findings of a special audit team I put together a couple of months ago to investigate alleged corrupt practices at Ghana’s embassy in Washington DC,” the minister said in a Facebook post on Monday, May 26, 2025.

He continued, “Mr Kwarteng was a local staff member recruited on August 11, 2017, to work in the embassy’s IT department. According to findings and his own admission, he authorised a link on the embassy’s website which diverted visa and passport applicants to his company, Ghana Travel (GTC), where he charged extra for multiple services on the blind side of the ministry and kept the entire proceeds in his private account.

“His illegal extra charges, which were not approved by the ministry and Parliament as required under the Fees and Charges Act, ranged from US$29.75 to US$60 per applicant. The investigations reveal that he and his collaborators operated this illegal scheme for at least five years. This conduct has been reported to the Attorney-General for possible prosecution and retrieval of funds obtained through fraudulent schemes.”

The minister further announced that, with immediate effect, all Foreign Affairs Ministry personnel assigned to the Washington, DC embassy have been recalled to Ghana.

Listen to his remarks below:

Fred Kwarteng, the former head of IT at Ghana’s embassy in Washington D.C., has denied allegations that he diverted embassy funds.

Andy Appiah-Kubi, lawyer for embattled Ashanti Regional New Patriotic Party (NPP) Chairman Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, has expressed concern over his continued detention.

In an interview on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem, Mr Appiah-Kubi said they were hopeful Chairman Wontumi would secure the required sureties for his bail, but efforts so far have been unsuccessful.

He disclosed that some individuals who initially agreed to help later became hesitant after their names were made public.

“In such cases, mentioning names doesn’t help because yesterday some people who earlier agreed to help later became reluctant and withdrew because their names were made public. So it’s better not to put out names,” he said.

“But when everything is settled and we have permission to publish the names, we will do so,” he added.

The former Asante Akyem North MP’s comments follow reports that former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia had secured all the necessary sureties for Chairman Wontumi’s release.

Dr Bawumia’s aide, Akbar Yussif Rohullah Khomeini, stated in a social media post that the required documents had been submitted and were awaiting verification by the relevant authorities.

However, Mr Appiah-Kubi said he could neither confirm nor deny the development, though he acknowledged they were expecting some individuals to arrive on Friday morning.

“We are still here waiting, and I am praying that the person bringing the sureties comes. I haven’t had any information regarding Dr Bawumia’s sureties, but I know someone is coming,” he stated.

Chairman Wontumi was arrested by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) on Tuesday, shortly after leaving the CID headquarters in Accra. His arrest has drawn widespread criticism from within the NPP.

He remains in custody after failing to meet his bail conditions of GH₵50 million with two justified sureties on Wednesday, amid reports of ill health.

While EOCO has yet to officially disclose full details of his arrest, Deputy Attorney General Dr Justice Srem-Sai has confirmed that the outspoken politician is being investigated for alleged fraud, money laundering, and international organised crime.

On Thursday, the Minority in Parliament and some members of the NPP stormed EOCO’s headquarters to protest the bail conditions, describing them as excessive and unreasonable.
