The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has suspended Ernest Owusu Bempah, its Deputy Director of Communications, over allegations of violating party guidelines on public statements. According to the party’s General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, Bempah’s recent social media activity breached internal directives prohibiting remarks that could fuel division.

Kumasi April 23, GNA – Mr Bryan Acheampong, Member of Parliament for Abetifi, has pledged to rebuild the Blue Light Market at Adum within 12 months, if given permission by the Asantehene and the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA).

He said it was important to give the traders a befitting place to restart their business activities immediately and he was prepared to “rebuild a solid structure for the traders within 12 months”, if Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Asantehene and the KMA would permit.

Mr Acheampong, a former Minister for Food and Agriculture, stated this, when he visited the victims of the fire disaster in Kumasi on Tuesday April 22, 2025.

He donated an amount of GHc 300,000.00 to support the victims who lost their wares to the fire on Friday, March 21, 2025.

The devastating fire destroyed the entire Blue Light market enclave in the central business district of Kumasi, rendering thousands of traders jobless and plunging them into huge debt.

Mr. Acheampong expressed his sympathy to the traders and said he understood how hard the situation was for them.

He promised to help them get back on their feet and said he was ready to rebuild the market, which had been badly affected.

The traders were happy about the support and thanked the MP for his kind gesture and his promise to help rebuild the market.

The donation and promise of rebuilding bring hope to many traders, whose livelihoods were destroyed by the fire.

Investigative journalist, Manasseh Azure Awuni

Investigative journalist, Manasseh Azure Awuni, has shared details of one of the most unassuming things the late Pope Francis did before becoming the head of the Catholic Church.

According to him, Pope Francis had an unexpected past as a nightclub bouncer.

On April 21, 2025, in a Facebook post, Manasseh explained that he discovered these details while reading various tributes following the Pope’s recent passing.

He said the notion of the pontiff having worked in the nightlife industry struck a personal chord with him, prompting him to share this information.

“The Pope as a nightclub bouncer,” he wrote.

He added, “Of everything I read, that’s what struck me, and I posted the fact without a comment.”

In response to some people who disagreed with his post, the journalist clarified that his intention was never to downplay or mock the Pope’s legacy.

Instead, he said he sought to challenge a prevalent culture of quick judgment, especially within Christian circles.

Manasseh further drew parallels to the Apostle Paul, who was once a persecutor of Christians but later became one of the most influential figures in Christianity.

His point was to illustrate that individuals can undergo a profound personal transformation, regardless of their past.

“We live in an era when Christians are quick to condemn others without giving them a chance.

“If a nightclub bouncer could rise to become a Pope, then we ought to be careful about the people we write off just because they don’t live like us,” he wrote.

Manasseh, however, expressed disappointment that many readers chose to ignore the deeper moral lesson in his post and instead focused on criticising him.

“Whatever negativity you associated with the post says so much about you, and not the one who posted the fact,” he shared.

Pope Francis died on Monday, April 21, 2025, at his home at the age of 88.

He was the 266th Pope.

The 2024 Presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has rejected claims that his religion and ethnicity were to blame for the party’s loss in the general election.

According to him, analysis of the data reveals that, though a Muslim candidate, he outperformed the party’s Christian parliamentary candidates even in Christian-dominated constituencies.

Addressing party supporters at the party headquarters, Dr. Bawumia explained that his analysis of the election data and results of other research suggests that the claims were nothing but propaganda.

“If you look at it, we were ten (10) contestants that went for the primaries. I was one muslim, nine Christians, but the NPP voted for the muslim presidential candidate. So that could not be the case. I decided to do some data analysis to test this hypothesis.

“The data is very clear. In many constituencies across the country, the NPP presidential candidate performed better than the Christian parliamentary candidates. So it couldn’t be if they were voting because of religion, I shouldn’t be performing better than the Christian parliamentary candidates,” he said.

Meanwhile, Dr. Bawumia has expressed satisfaction with the Prof. Mike Ocquaye’s report, explaining that aspects of the party, including the delegate system for electing leaders, will change based on the work by the review committee.

John Dramani Mahama and Godwin Edudzi Tameklo

The Acting CEO of the National Petroleum Authority, Godwin Edudzi Tameklo, has defended President John Dramani Mahama’s decision to suspend Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo, citing Article 146 of the Constitution.

Tameklo argued that the president has acted within his constitutional duty and that the Minority in Parliament’s response is an attempt to politicise the matter.

Tameklo insisted that President Mahama has not taken any action contrary to the 1992 Constitution, adding that the NPP’s reaction is driven by fear and panic.

“Article 146 is clear as to the procedures which ought to be done. Has President Mahama done anything contrary to what the constitution stipulates? The answer is no,” Edudzi added.

Speaking in an interview on TV3 New Day’s Big Issue on April 23, 2025, and monitored by GhanaWeb, he insisted that the president has not taken any action contrary to the dictates of the constitution.

The Director of Legal Affairs of the NDC further emphasised that the president’s decision is anchored on constitutional provisions.

This comes after the Minority in Parliament and the NPP condemned the president’s action, describing it as a “brazen judicial coup” and an abuse of executive power.

President John Dramani Mahama, on Tuesday, April 22, 2025, suspended the Chief Justice, Getrude Torkonoo, after it was determined that a prima facie case has been established against her following consultation with the Council of State.

Shortly after that, the Minority in Parliament and members of the New Patriotic Party condemned President Mahama’s action, describing it as a blatant abuse of executive power.

In a strongly worded statement issued on Monday, April 22, the Minority accused the president of engaging in a politically-motivated witch-hunt aimed at undermining the independence of Ghana’s judiciary.

Meanwhile, Professor H Kwasi Prempeh of Ghana Center for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana), has raised concerns about the constitutional framework governing the removal of superior court justices, citing lack of transparency and potential compromise of judicial independence.

According to him, the current process lacks transparency and compromises the integrity of judicial independence.

“I have at least two problems with Article 146 in its present form. First, he criticized the secrecy surrounding removal petitions. While he acknowledged that proceedings may need to be held in camera, he insisted that the findings, grounds, and supporting evidence for any removal petition successful or not should be made public afterward. The public must not be kept in the dark as to why a removal petition failed or succeeded,” he emphasised in a post on his Facebook wall, arguing that transparency is crucial to maintaining public confidence in the judiciary.

2024 Presidential Candidate of the NPP, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia

The 2024 flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has expressed optimism that the recommendations outlined in the Mike Oquaye report will usher in much-needed reforms within the party.

Speaking at the NPP headquarters in Accra on Wednesday, April 23, 225, ahead of the party’s Thank You Tour, Dr Bawumia described the report as a blueprint for strengthening the party’s internal democracy and positioning it for future electoral victories.

Dr Bawumia praised the committee, chaired by former Speaker of Parliament, Prof Aaron Mike Ocquaye, for what he called “a comprehensive and honest assessment” of the party’s strengths and shortcomings.

“This report is not just a document; it is a call to action. The recommendations contained in it are timely and necessary for the rejuvenation of our great party,” he stated.

He further emphasised that the findings were the result of wide consultations with party grassroots, executives and stakeholders.

Highlighting some of the key reform areas, the 2024 NPP flagbearer noted that the report proposes enhanced transparency in internal elections, improved communication structures, and stronger youth engagement.

“If we are to retain the confidence of Ghanaians and inspire a new generation of patriots, then we must be bold in implementing these reforms,” Dr Bawumia added.

He also assured the party faithful that the leadership would prioritise accountability and inclusiveness in the next phase of the NPP’s growth.

The Thank You Tour, according to Dr Bawumia, will offer an opportunity to connect with supporters and communicate the party’s renewed vision.

He concluded with a rallying call: “Let us embrace the spirit of renewal. Let us stand together, united by our values, and move forward as one NPP – stronger and more determined than ever before.”

The event was attended by several top party executives, regional chairpersons and youth leaders.

Sammy Gyamfi and Justice Gertrude Torkornoo

The National Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi, has reacted to the response of the suspended Chief Justice, Gertrude Torkornoo, regarding the accusation of financial misappropriation against her in one of the petitions for her removal.

In a post shared on X on Wednesday, April 23, 2025, Sammy Gyamfi argued that Justice Torkornoo’s defence, which cites the Judicial Service’s Travel Policy as the basis for her actions, amounts to a confession.

He pointed out that nowhere in the Travel Policy is it stated that the Chief Justice can benefit from travelling with her husband and daughter at the expense of the state, which she did.

“Suspended Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo confesses to using her official travel privileges (air ticket and per diem) on a private trip for the benefit of her husband and daughter, in breach of the Travel Policy of the Judicial Service.

“The Travel Policy is very clear. Paragraph B(2) of the policy, first adopted in 2010 and amended to take effect from 5th January 2019, makes it clear that the Chief Justice can embark on private or personal travel with her ‘security alone’,” Sammy Gyamfi wrote.

He added, “The policy does not permit ‘opting to travel with a spouse and a daughter’ at the expense of the state.”

Background:

In her response to petitions lodged for her removal from office, the Chief Justice denied allegations of misappropriating GH¢261,890 of public funds for private foreign travel with her husband and daughter.

According to the Chief Justice, who has been suspended by the president following the establishment of a prima facie case against her, the claim that her spouse and daughter were not entitled to have their travel funded by the Judicial Service is “untruthful and unfortunate” within the context of her appointment letter and the Judicial Service Foreign Travel Policy.

“My appointment letter, which should have been included in the original bundle as Exhibit DO1, clearly outlines the terms of my appointment as Chief Justice. These terms include two round-trip tickets for official vacations, each capped at a maximum of 14 days. Paragraph B1 of the appointment letter specifies that travel expenses, hotel accommodation, and per diem for these holidays are to be borne by the Judicial Service,” she noted in her response.

She emphasised that the Judicial Service Policy on Foreign Travel, among other provisions, permits a Chief Justice to “undertake unlimited official travels with either his/her spouse or other person of his/her choice in a year, fully funded by the Judicial Service.”

It also states that when “accompanied by the spouse or other person, he/she shall travel on the same class of air ticket as the Chief Justice and shall be paid the equivalent of half the per diem paid to the Chief Justice.

“These policies, in place since 2010, explicitly authorise me to travel with my spouse or another designated person, such as my daughter, on official vacations.”

She argued that the decision to allow the Judicial Service to cover the expenses of her spouse and daughter was an exercise of her authorisation granted by the Policy on Foreign Travels by Head of the Judiciary and Superior Court Judges, as amended in 2019.

The said petition, which was presented to President John Dramani Mahama by one Daniel Ofori on Monday, March 17, 2025, accused Justice Torkornoo of financial misappropriation of about GH¢261,890 and US$30,000 in her foreign trips.

“In 2023, the Honourable Chief Justice misappropriated the sum of GH¢261,890.00 of public funds for the benefit of the Chief Justice for her private foreign travel with her husband, Mr Francis Kofi Torkornoo, and her daughter Miss Edem S.A. Torkornoo, and US$30,000 in per diem allowance when, to her knowledge, neither the husband of the Chief Justice nor the Chief Justice’s daughter were entitled to have their travel or any travel allowances paid for out of the funds of the Judicial Service,” part of Ofori’s petition reads.

The former President of the Ghana Bar Association (GBA), Samuel Okudzeto has raised concerns over the suspension of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo, warning that the move—although potentially legal—could send troubling signals to the international community and deter potential investors from engaging with Ghana.

On Tuesday, President John Dramani Mahama suspended Chief Justice Gertrude Sackey Torkornoo following the determination of a prima facie case in three petitions filed for her removal from office. To investigate the matter further, the president established a five-member committee chaired by Justice Gabriel Scott Pwamang, a Supreme Court Justice.

While the suspension is backed by constitutional provisions, Okudzeto cautioned that the lack of clarity in Ghana’s constitutional framework regarding the use of presidential discretionary powers could lead to unintended consequences.

A constitutional loophole

Okudzeto expressed concern about what he described as significant loopholes in Ghana’s 1992 Constitution. 

He noted that although the Constitution empowers the president to take action in certain situations, such as suspending a high-ranking judicial official, it fails to provide clear guidelines on how such powers should be exercised.

“When discretionary power is granted, there must be clear indications on how it will be exercised. Unfortunately, that is lacking,” he said.

He suggested that such actions should be governed by legislation or a constitutional instrument to ensure transparency and safeguards against potential misuse of power.

Investor confidence at risk

The former GBA president warned that the suspension of the Chief Justice—regardless of its constitutional basis—could severely damage the country’s international reputation.

“When you suspend a Chief Justice, the signal it sends to the international community is quite serious,” Okudzeto said. “I can assure you that many investors will hesitate to invest in a country with such a situation.”

He stressed that while constitutional actions may be legal, the way in which they are handled and the perceptions they create are critical, particularly in the global arena.

Okudzeto also raised concerns about the process behind the suspension, mentioning the constitutional requirement for the president to consult with the Council of State in certain matters. 

However, he questioned whether this step had been properly followed, stating, “How they do it, whether he has done it, I have no way of knowing.”

“This is not a personal worry,” he added. “It’s about the legality and sensitivity of the issue. We must be careful not just in acting legally, but also in how we handle the process.”

The flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for election 2024, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has rejected claims that his Muslim faith was a key reason behind the party’s loss in the 2024 general elections.

Speaking at the party’s headquarters on Wednesday, April 23, ahead of the NPP’s ‘Thank You Tour’, Dr Bawumia described the assertions as baseless and not supported by evidence, urging Ghanaians to focus on data rather than propaganda.

“When we finished the election, there were so many people who were giving different reasons why we lost. When you look at the reasons people were offering, one of the reasons people offered was that they said that they didn’t vote for us [NPP] because our presidential candidate was Muslim. Have you not heard that? When I heard that, I said, This doesn’t make sense. This is not the Ghana that I know,” he stated.

Dr Bawumia highlighted the outcome of the NPP primaries to debunk the claim, pointing out that despite being the only Muslim among 10 candidates, nine of whom were Christians, he was overwhelmingly chosen by the party.

He also referenced electoral data to further refute the religious bias narrative. “When you look at the results, in many constituencies across the country, I outperformed Christian parliamentary candidates on the NPP ticket. If religion were a factor, that wouldn’t be the case,” he explained.

Also, citing the example of Reverend Ntim Fordjour, the NPP MP for Assin South, Dr Bawumia noted that he even secured more votes in Fordjour’s constituency. Dr Bawumia further referenced findings from various independent research bodies, including Global Info Analytics and other institutions, which all concluded that neither religion nor ethnicity influenced the 2024 election results.

“It’s only propaganda,” he asserted. “All the research ruled out religion and tribe as factors. I’m proud that as a party—and as a country—our political choices are not driven by religious or tribal identities.”

He urged Ghanaians to reject divisive narratives and remain united. “We are one nation. Whether Muslim or Christian, we rise and move forward together.”

2024 Presidential Candidate of NPP, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia

The 2024 Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has expressed his satisfaction with the report submitted by former Speaker of Parliament, Professor Aaron Mike Oquaye.

Speaking at the NPP headquarters in Accra on Wednesday, 23 April, ahead of the party’s Thank You Tour, Dr Bawumia described the report as “thorough, insightful, and a valuable contribution to the forward march of the party.”

Dr Bawumia noted that the findings and recommendations contained in Professor Oquaye’s report align with the NPP’s vision and values, adding that they would play a significant role in shaping the party’s strategy ahead of the December general elections.

“I am happy with the work done by Professor Mike Oquaye. The report reflects a deep understanding of our party’s dynamics and offers pragmatic steps for improvement,” he stated.

The former Speaker, who chaired a high-level committee tasked with reviewing the party’s internal structures and electoral performance, submitted the report to the party leadership earlier this week.

Dr Bawumia assured the party faithful that the recommendations would be given serious consideration.

“We are not taking this lightly. We will study the proposals carefully and implement those that will strengthen our unity and improve our performance,” he added.

Meanwhile, watch GhanaWeb’s tour of Odweanoma Paragliding Field below:

The 2024 flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has described the Prof Oquaye investigative report on the party’s defeat as more than a compilation of ideas and recommendations, calling it “a clarion call to duty and transformation”.

Speaking on Wednesday, 23rd April, at the NPP headquarters in Accra ahead of the party’s upcoming ‘Thank You Tour’, Dr Bawumia underscored the report’s significance in shaping the ideological direction and governance strategy of the party moving forward.

“The Oquaye report is not just a document. It is a call to action—an urgent reminder that we must pursue our democratic values with even greater resolve,” he stated.

According to him, the report, which is believed to encapsulate the political philosophy and vision of Professor Aaron Mike Oquaye, serves as a guidepost for consolidating constitutional democracy and economic freedom in Ghana.

He urged all party faithful and stakeholders to engage deeply with the report’s content and apply its recommendations practically.

Dr Bawumia also stressed that the report aligns with the NPP’s commitment to good governance, transparency, and national development.

“This is not a document to be shelved. It is a working manual—one that speaks to our generation and the next,” he remarked, adding that it offers timely insights on issues such as decentralisation, youth empowerment, and the role of private enterprise in economic growth.

He hinted that parts of the report would be integrated into the NPP’s 2024 manifesto to “bring its ideas to life”.

Justice Torkornoo has been suspended pending the outcome of a committee investigation

Chief Justice Gertrude Araba Esaaba Torkornoo has justified her decision to travel on holiday with her spouse and daughter at the state’s expense.

In her response to petitions lodged for her removal from office, the Chief Justice denied allegations of misappropriating GH¢261,890 of public funds for private foreign travel with her husband and daughter.

According to the Chief Justice, who has been suspended by the president following the establishment of a prima facie case against her, the claim that her spouse and daughter were not entitled to have their travel funded by the Judicial Service is untrue and unfortunate within the context of her appointment letter and the Judicial Service Foreign Travel Policy.

“My appointment letter, which should have been included in the original bundle as Exhibit DO1, clearly outlines the terms of my appointment as Chief Justice. These terms include two round-trip tickets for official vacations, each capped at a maximum of 14 days. Paragraph B1 of the appointment letter specifies that travel expenses, hotel accommodation, and per diem for these holidays are to be borne by the Judicial Service,” she noted in her response.

She emphasised that the Judicial Service Policy on Foreign Travel, among other things, permits a Chief Justice to “undertake unlimited official travels with either his/her spouse or other person of his/her choice in a year, fully funded by the Judicial Service.”

It also states that when “accompanied by the spouse or other person, he/she shall travel on the same class of air ticket as the Chief Justice and shall be paid the equivalent of half the per diem paid to the Chief Justice.

“These policies, in place since 2010, explicitly authorise me to travel with my spouse or another designated person, such as my daughter, on official vacations.”

She argued that the decision to allow the Judicial Service to cover the expenses of her spouse and daughter was an exercise of her authorisation granted by the Policy on Foreign Travels by Head of the Judiciary and Superior Court Judges, as amended in 2019.

“Exhibit DO4 is a response provided by the Judicial Secretary to auditors seeking clarification on the expenditure for tickets purchased for my husband and daughter during my two holidays in 2023. Page 1 of Exhibit DO4 confirms that I opted to utilize the authorization in Paragraphs 9 and 10 of the Travel Policy to travel with my spouse on one occasion and my daughter on the second, in full compliance with my appointment terms. The Judicial Secretary’s responses to Observation 1 and Observation 2 in Exhibit DO4 further explain the expenditure, refuting the petitioner’s claim of misappropriation,” she stated.

Reported accounts of the petitions against the Chief Justice indicate an allegation of illegal payment of per diem and purchase of travel tickets for her relatives.

However, Justice Torkornoo argued in her response that she was not responsible for the purchase of flight tickets or payment of per diem for herself and individuals who travel with her.

“I wish to emphasise that, as Chief Justice, I neither purchase travel tickets nor determine the per diem issued to me or my accompanying aides, security, or designated persons. These are administered by the Judicial Secretary and the Director of Finance of the Judicial Service in accordance with rates set by the Article 71 Committee on Emoluments. I am not a signatory to any account and am therefore incapable of personally misappropriating public funds related to travel or per diem,” she noted.

She further denied failing to retire an amount of $9,589, being the balance of an imprest issued for her travel.

“The petitioner’s claim that I failed to retire imprest is untrue. I have attached evidence, signed by me and corroborated by the Judicial Secretary, showing that I spent $4,411 out of an imprest of $14,000 and retired the entirety of the remaining amount two days after returning from my journey. This documentation refutes the allegation and demonstrates adherence to financial accountability standards,” she said.

The Chief Justice maintained that her travel with her spouse and daughter during her official vacations is supported by the privileges and obligations outlined in her appointment letter and the Judicial Service’s travel policy.

“These are standard entitlements for the Chief Justice, akin to those provided to other heads of government, such as the President or Speaker of Parliament, under Article 57(2) of the 1992 Constitution.

“Can it be suggested, by any stretch of the imagination, that when the Chief Justice travels with a designated companion as per policy, this constitutes misconduct warranting removal from office? Would Ghanaians accept that the President or Speaker misappropriated state funds by traveling with their spouse or child on official vacations provided by their terms of appointment? Such a proposition would undermine the principles of our democracy and the meaning of misappropriation,” she added.

According to the Chief Justice, it would be absurd to claim that she has misappropriated funds when Judicial Service policy implementers are responsible for the purchase of flight tickets and payment of per diems for her official vacations.

“It is my firm belief that the nation would find the petitioner’s allegations—that the described acts constitute wrongdoing—unthinkable. These claims are not only baseless but also misrepresent the policies and procedures of the Judicial Service. I respectfully urge His Excellency the President and the eminent members of the Council of State to dismiss these allegations, as they do not warrant further consideration. The evidence provided, including Exhibits DO1, DO2, DO3, and DO4, clearly demonstrates my compliance with all applicable policies and refutes the petitioner’s claims,” her response concluded.

GA/AE

The Greater Accra Regional Second Vice Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Eric Nartey Yeboah, popularly known as Chairman Dollar, has appealed to former party stalwart Dr Richard Amoako Baah to reconsider his decision to break away from the NPP and form a new political movement.

Speaking in an interview with the media, Mr Yeboah emphasised that intellectuals and experienced party loyalists like Dr Amoako Baah are essential to the rebuilding and reform of the NPP. He described the decision to form a rival party as unfortunate and misguided.

“Dr Amoako Baah is a man of great intellect and experience. But abandoning the party at a time when it needs reformers is like a man fleeing his own house because of armed robbers, instead of standing his ground to fight and protect it,” Mr Yeboah stated.

Dr Amoako Baah, a former political science lecturer at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), officially launched a new political movement—the New Patriotic Front (NPF)—earlier this week.

At a press conference in Accra, he accused the current leadership of the NPP, under President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, of betraying the ideals of the Danquah-Busia-Dombo tradition.

“The NPP that we once believed in has been destroyed by arrogance, incompetence, and entrenched corruption,” Dr Amoako Baah declared.

“It is no longer the party of principle and service, but one driven by sycophancy and personal gain.” He said the New Patriotic Front would provide Ghanaians with a credible alternative—one focused on accountability, honesty, and genuine public service.

In response, Chairman Dollar likened Dr Amoako Baah’s defection to abandoning the legacy of past heroes like Dr Kofi Abrefa Busia, who remained within the party and worked through adversity to restore the Danquah-Busia political tradition.

“I urge Dr Amoako Baah to reflect on our shared history. The NPP is not perfect, but it needs its best minds to confront its challenges—not to divide the front,” Mr Yeboah said.

The public split has reignited conversations about internal democracy, leadership accountability, and the future of the NPP ahead of the 2028 general elections.
