Atuabo Gas Plant

Ghana National Gas Company has completed the planned maintenance works at the Atuabo Plant ahead of the scheduled 14-day period.

The team of Engineers behind the plant maintenance had requested 14 days for the planned exercise, but ended up beating the targeted time by using 10 days to successfully complete the assignment.
Following the successful completion of the maintenance works, the maintenance team has handed over the plant to the Operational Unit.

Key maintenance works at the plant include servicing of Heat Medium System, Calibration of Safety Systems and overhaul of Transmission Compressor.
The Ministry of Energy and Green Transition had estimated a 14-day timeline for completion.

However, the maintenance and technical team achieved a significant milestone by finishing ahead of schedule.
Chief Executive Officer, Ms. Judith Adjobah Blay, praised the team’s dedication and teamwork.

She congratulated them on their success, emphasising that their hard work and collaboration were key factors in completing the project efficiently.

CEO Adjoba Blay told the media that with the completion of the maintenance, the facility was ready to take extra gas flow from Tullow.
Mr. Sampson Kali, Acting General Manager in charge of Engineering, disclosed to the media that there was no loss time injury in the 10 day exercise.

“So maintenance team will be on standby to achieve the increase gas flow”.
Acting General Manager, Operations, Sampson Doe said they had taken over the plant and were taking small amounts of gas to warm-up it up.

The plant is expected to stabilise and receive the expected volumes of gas in the remaining hours of the day.

Accra Circuit Court

A 26-year-old mechanic, David Ofori, who is facing three counts of stealing, totaling GH¢58,000 was on Monday granted bail in the sum of GH¢50,000 with two sureties, both of whom must be Public Servants earning not less than GH¢3,500 monthly.

The accused, who pleaded not guilty to all three charges, appeared before Her Honour Mrs. Susana Eduful at the Accra Circuit Court.

The facts of the case were read in English and subsequently explained to the accused in Ewe, his native language.

According to the brief facts presented by the prosecution, led by Inspector Felix Adjei, the complainant, Andrews Koomson, is a mobile money vendor who shares a workplace with the accused at Teshie in the Greater Accra Region.

The accused allegedly stole various amounts of cash on three occasions from the complainant’s shop GH¢20,000 on March 4, 2025 GH¢23,000 on June 28, 2025 and GH¢15,000 on August 15, 2025.

The latest incident occurred around 5:00 am on August 15, 2025 when the complainant briefly left his shop unlocked to visit the bathroom.

Upon his return, he discovered GH¢15,000 missing and confronted Ofori, who was seen in front of the shop. Ofori reportedly confessed and returned the amount.

A report was subsequently made to the police, leading to the accused’s arrest by the Teshie Police.

In his cautioned statement, Ofori admitted to stealing a total of GH¢43,000 earlier and claimed to have handed the money to one Prince for safekeeping.

He, however, failed to assist police in locating or arresting the said Prince.

The case, registered under Court Case No: CCCC/D7/28/2026 and Teshie Police R.O No. 1295/2025, remains under investigation.

The court has directed the prosecution to make full disclosures and file witness statements by the next adjourned date.

The matter has been adjourned to September 24, 2025, for further hearing.

Editorial: The Chaos In Our Land Administration System Must Be Checked

Editorial

Stakeholders in the land sector have said that the lack of enforcement of provisions in the Land Act, 2020 (Act 1036) was a major catalyst for corruption in the sector, according to a graphiconline.com report.

At a forum on Land and Corruption in Africa, organised under Transparency International’s initiative, experts noted that the main challenge lies in the lack of enforcement of the law. They explained that although Act 1036 introduced substantive reforms to ensure transparency, accountability and fair processes in land acquisition, these provisions remain weakly implemented.

The stakeholders pointed to the absence of proper monitoring systems, poor record-keeping and complicity by some officials of the Lands Commission as major drivers of corruption in the sector.

The Land Act, 2020 consolidated most of the laws on land administration, placing fiduciary responsibility on chiefs to deal with land fairly and transparently, while also requiring traditional councils to establish customary land secretariats to keep proper records. The Act also criminalises multiple land sales, land-guard activities and intimidation of legitimate landowners.

First of all, we have turned a blind eye to the chaos in our land administration for a very long time. Before we go to it, let us even look at the recent demolition of properties built on some Ramsar sites in Tema and other areas is more than an unfortunate incident for those who lost their investments. How did individuals acquire permits and documents to build on protected wetlands? Were they ignorant of the fact that these were Ramsar sites or were they deliberately misled by corrupt officials and middlemen? Either way, the situation exposes a deep rot in the management of our lands.

The truth is that corruption within the land sector has become systemic and the very institution meant to regulate land transactions is often implicated. Citizens are lured into purchasing land from wrong persons and in some instances documents are signed and stamped by officials of the Lands Commission. This is not mere negligence but a betrayal of public trust.

The Land Act, 2020 (Act 1036) was hailed as a game changer. It consolidated previous land laws and introduced major reforms to protect citizens and ensure fair processes. Chiefs are bound by fiduciary duty to manage land in a transparent manner. Traditional councils are required to set up customary land Secretariats to ensure accountability. The Act also criminalises multiple land sales, land-guard activities and any form of intimidation in land disputes. On paper, these are strong reforms. Yet the lack of enforcement has rendered them almost meaningless.

The loopholes are glaring. There is weak coordination between agencies. Record-keeping remains poor. Enforcement is selective, often targeting ordinary citizens while shielding the powerful. Some chiefs flout their fiduciary duties with impunity, selling the same plot to multiple buyers. Others connive with private actors to sell restricted lands such as Ramsar sites and buffer zones, leaving victims stranded after investing their life savings in properties that end up demolished.

The human cost of this corruption is devastating. The country loses valuable wetlands and forest reserves that are crucial for climate resilience. Trust in state institutions erodes when people realise that even official documents do not guarantee ownership.

The question then is: where does accountability begin? The Lands Commission cannot continue to absolve itself. If fraudulent documentation can be issued by its own officers, then internal corruption must be rooted out. Chiefs and traditional leaders must also be held accountable for breaching their fiduciary duties.

Ultimately, reform must go beyond laws on paper. Government must invest in modern land administration systems, including digital records that are tamper-proof. Independent oversight bodies must be empowered to monitor transactions. Offenders, no matter their status, must be prosecuted to serve as a deterrent.

A second batch of 955 Community Protection Assistants (CPAs), drawn from Ashanti and Bono regions, under the Youth Employment Agency (YEA), in collaboration with the Ghana Police Service (GPS) has passed out after completing months of intensive Police training at the Police Training School at Patasi in Kumasi.

The first batch, made up of 1,200 recruits had previously passed out after a training session at the Police Training School.

The CPAs were trained in community interaction techniques, criminal law, procedure and investigation, traffic management, basic officer safety, human rights, basic security tips, discipline, mental toughness, physical training and foot drills.

Master Kwame Addo and Master Ebenezer Kwakye were adjudged Best in Drills and Best in Physical Training respectively.

Mr. Habib Kipo, Director, Monitoring and Evaluation, YEA disclosed that his outfit had the mandate to create innovative and decent jobs for the teeming youth of the nation.

He indicated that the CPA initiative remains the most significant intervention of the YEA, stressing that it (CPA initiative) seeks not only to empowerment the youth with employable skills, but also to strengthen community-level policing as well as enhancing public safety.

Mr. Kipo noted that through the initiative communities would enjoy an improved sense of security and the Police Service would benefit from the additional hand to support their operations.

He disclosed that as part of creating sustainable jobs,  the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between YEA and GPS enjoins the latter to give priority to CPAs, who have learnt the basic policing and rudiments of the service, to be recruit to mainstream policing when it recruits its next in-take of personnel.

Habib Kipo reviewing the parade

The Director congratulated the graduands for their endurance, commitment, and discipline throughout the rigorous training period and indicated that the values learnt must guide them as they set out to perform their duties, urging them to always remember that they are ambassadors of both the YEA and GPS.

Director Kipo emphasised that the conduct of graduands in their various communities would determine the success or otherwise of the laudable programme and charged them to remain “disciplined, courteous, hardworking and respectful” to the very people, they have been called to serve.

He further commended the leadership of YEA for the remarkable collaboration with the GPS, stressing that the partnership is a clear indication of government’s commitment to youth empowerment and national security as contained in the President’s “reset agenda”.

Mr. Kipo also expressed appreciation to the Commanding Officer and Instructors of the Police Training School for the professionalism and dedication.

He hoped the CPAs would be change-makers in the communities and called for support, guidance and encouragement for them to give off their best to facilitate safer communities and a stronger Ghana.

The Minister commended the Roads Minister for the support and completing the project in a short space of time.

The Ashanti Regional Minister urged the residents to own the project and use it responsibly, particularly in mining activities.

He emphasised the importance of obtaining the necessary licenses and certificates to mine and reclaim land without causing harm to the environment.

Dr. Amoakohene assured the residents that the government would complete all uncompleted projects and infrastructure within the district and hinted that new projects would be initiated soon.

Mr Vincent Antwi Agyei, the Sunyani Municipal Chief Executive

Mr Vincent Antwi Agyei, the Sunyani Municipal Chief Executive, says the assembly is finalising modalities for the construction of a model market project to boost the implementation of the government’s touted 24-hour economy policy.
He said he had done extensive engagements and consultations with the chiefs and queens as well as other key stakeholders, saying two sites had been identified for the construction of the market.

Speaking in an interview with the media in Sunyani, Mr Agyei said the assembly was considering either upgrading the Nana Bosoma Central Market into a model status or constructing a new one within the Municipal Assembly building enclave.

He said: “We are yet to submit our report through the Bono Regional Coordinating Council to the Ministry of Local Government in Accra for further advice on our proposed site so that construction work on the project will commence”.
On completion, Mr Agyei said the standard market would contain a police and fire service post, creche, washrooms and improved lighting systems.

He said the market would run 24 hours, create job opportunities for the people, and thereby spur rapid socio-economic growth and development of the municipality.
Mr Agyei said the assembly had also prioritised healthcare, saying based on needs assessment, the assembly had proposed the construction of two Community-based Health Planning (CHPS) compounds at Krosua Number Two and Baakoniaba communities.
He added that nurses’ quarters would also be attached to the CHPS compounds to bring quality health care delivery to the doorstep of the rural dwellers.

G/A Minister orders non-performing MMDCEs to step aside

Mrs Linda Ocloo, Greater Accra Regional Minister

In a hard-hitting address that has sent shockwaves through the local government machinery, the Greater Accra Regional Minister, Linda Ocloo, has issued a stern warning to Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs), accusing many of them of gross incompetence and complacency.

She declared that those failing to deliver on their mandate must “step aside” and make way for more serious, results-oriented leaders.

Speaking at the “Time with the Media” engagement held at the Impartiality Conference Hall in Accra, the Minister expressed deep disappointment over worsening sanitation, malfunctioning streetlights, and unchecked billboard installation across the region.

According to her, these failures reflect a troubling pattern of neglect by some local executives.

“At this stage, excuses are nothing, but an embarrassment to the people we serve. Leadership is not about sitting in offices and enjoying the perks of your position—it is about delivering results. Right now, many of you are simply sleeping on the job,” she said bluntly.

On the issue of street lighting, Mrs Ocloo revealed that 3,000 new streetlights have been secured through collaboration with the Ministry of Energy, with 100 allocated to each MMDA.

She gave MMDCEs a strict two-week deadline to ensure installation across their jurisdictions.

“No excuses, no delays. I will personally monitor this directive. Any Chief Executive who fails to comply will be exposed and reported,” she warned.

Sanitation Crisis: “A Reflection of Your Failure”

The Minister did not mince words regarding the sanitation situation, describing it as unacceptable and a sign of administrative failure. Despite available resources, such as the sanitation component of the District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF), many assemblies have allegedly failed to recruit sanitation workers or clear drains.

“Sanitation is not a favour you are doing the people; it is a core responsibility… The stench, the filth, the choked drains are a reflection of your failure to lead,” she said.

The Greater Accra Regional Minister condemned the mounting of unauthorised billboards that obstruct visibility and compromise public safety, warning MMDCEs to strictly enforce billboard regulations.

She also criticized the lack of seriousness in addressing the rampant theft of drain covers, and the encroachment of sensitive ecological sites like the Ramsar wetlands and the Laloi Lagoon in the Ningo-Prampram District.

“The illegal filling of materials into the Laloi Lagoon must stop immediately. It is irresponsible, short-sighted, and a direct assault on environmental sustainability,” she said.

Ban on Personal Assistants Taking Over Official Duties

In a scathing rebuke, the Minister also barred all MMDCEs from assigning official tasks to their personal assistants or bringing them to official RCC meetings. She described this trend as an abuse of office.

“Some of you have surrounded yourselves with PAs who virtually run the assemblies. They write your speeches, sign documents and even represent you at meetings. This must stop immediately,” she cautioned.

Citing a cautionary example from the past, she urged public officials to avoid scandal and maintain integrity in office: “Learn from what happened to Vicky Hammah. She was axed from Mahama’s government over a recording in which she said she needed just a million dollars to quit politics. Let that be a warning.”

Mrs Ocloo also outlined three priority areas that will form the basis for evaluating MMDCEs: sanitation, streetlights, and enforcement of by-laws. She pledged to forward performance reports to the Ministry of Local Government and the Presidency.

She also called on the public to be active citizens; report faults, obey sanitation laws, stop illegal dumping and billboard erection, and help security agencies protect public property.

“The people of this region are tired of words. They want results and they want them now,” she emphasised.

The Minister’s address has sparked strong reactions across the Greater Accra Region, with political analysts describing it as one of the boldest accountability calls in recent local governance history. Whether the MMDCEs will rise to the challenge or be shown the exit remains to be seen.

Is Alan Kyerematen the Joseph of NPP?

By

Opinion

The story of Joseph in Sacred Scriptures seems to be re-incarnating in this day and age in the New Patriotic Party, as it seems to be reflecting in Alan-NPP relationship..

Joseph was the favourite of his father and Alan was also the favourite of majority of NPP members. Joseph was hated by his brothers, just as Alan was hated by the Establishment and the failed administrations in the NPP.

Drought hit the land of Judah and Joseph’s family was affected. The solution was to go to Egypt for food. Joseph was then the prime minister of Egypt who was directly in-charge of the food stores. In the end, the survival of Jacob and his family depended on Joseph, and those who disliked him had to go to him so that they can survive.

Today, a severe drought has hit the NPP. When it mattered most, 2.1 million party members turned their backs on the party at the ballot box as prophesied by Hon. Boakye Agyarko in September 2023.

What resulted in this prophecy? Alan Kyerematen who was one of the founding members of the NPP and had worked hard from the moment the party was founded to make it grow into a powerful party with roots from the United Party and stood out as one of the greatest liberal democratic parties in the world.

In 1996, Alan had wanted to hold the NPP’s flag in the presidential race. However, the elders of the party pleaded with him to hold on to that ambition and allow the elders to run that race. Alan agreed. He was about 41 years old.

Alan in obedience and respect to the elders and the party, did not contest the 1998 primaries. It was in 2007, when H.E. J.A. Kufuor was in his second and final term as president of the republic, that Alan showed up again, when he was 52 years old.

By that time, the Establishment became very jealous of Alan and hated him with the same venom Joseph’s brothers hated him. They spread this feeling among party members.

During the 2007 NPP Presidential Primary, the Establishment craftily organised a scene which made it look like Alan was rigging the elections.

But in the end, to get a winner, Alan decided not to go for a re-run and ceded to Nana Addo, all for the peace and unity of the party.

Very determined to push Alan under a moving bus, the Establishment organised attacks on all his supporters. Try as he could to make the party national chairman to put a halt to this, it yielded nothing. For the sake of restoration of togetherness in the party, Alan finally wrote to the national chairman and made it clear that if the harassment of his supporters were not stopped, he would have to resign. It was a conditional statement. The rest is history.

Fast forward 2023 and the hatred of Alan blew out to greater heights. With the Establishment now fully in-charge of the party, Alan was publicly abused and treated like he was an enemy of the NPP. The failed administration bowed low to the demands of the Establishment and in the end, Alan had to pull out of the race and finally from the party. It all happened just as Joseph’s brothers did. With Alan no longer around, the crown prince of the Establishment was given all the support of the party to become the flagbearer.

One party guru who foresaw events coming up, was Hon Boakye Agyarko. Reacting to this sad development, he said just like Alan, there were many people in the NPP who harbour similar and maybe more petulant sentiments in their hearts but are not openly expressing the same. Alan has put his thoughts and feelings on paper for all to appreciate.

Hon Boakye Agyarko said, “The unfortunate departure of Alan Kyerematen from our ranks must serve as a necessary and sufficient notice to us all and lead us to a time of deep introspection rather than a time for gloating or the display of triumphalist arrogance…. There are many in our party today who have, out of dismay, resigned in their hearts and are only waiting to walk away from us at the ballot box.” That was in September 2023.

Meanwhile the NPP stood adamant and swore it was going to win Elections 2024 and retire the NDC from politics forever, even though the war song, “Breaking the Eight,” was no longer breaking the eardrums of Ghanaians.

What the Establishment put into the minds of party members was that Alan was going to be retired from politics. He should have been patient and bid his time, so that either he was made the running-mate or become flagbearer in 2028 if Dr. Bawumia failed to win the elections. Was what was said.

But in all this when the dust finally settled on December 7, 2024, just as Boakye Agyarko prophesied, out of dismay, 2.1 million party supporters, deserted the party in their hearts and walked away from the ballot box.

Could this have been highlighted in the Prof. Mike Ocquaye’s report, as the major reason party faithful offered as why NPP lost the elections, so miserably? So, this could be why, the report was not made opened to party members and Ghanaians. The Establishment and the failed administration would have been grilled on bush fires and they would lose respect forever.

The Establishment and the party had to find a way to lure Alan back. Just as Joseph’s brothers went to acknowledge their sinfulness and had to begged for reunion, the NPP is on that same tangent but walking sideways so as not to be found out that they want to beg Alan to come back. That will be too much.

So, what are they doing? After knowing that should the 2.1 million party members return with their hearts and vote for the party, it will be possible that the NPP could win the 2028 General Elections. Alan must come back! But how?

The man looks very determined not to walk the path of an elephant again and would rather stay away from his family house where the elders have destroyed him.

Something must be done. So, the party came out as if in a Jubilee Year, in which the debts of people are pardoned, the party came out with a statement that it is granting amnesty to all who had been expelled or suspended from the party. But still, with the odour of pride and arrogance all over them, the beggars demanded to be allowed to make choices. All those to be granted amnesty had some conditions to meet. They must re-apply and stay away from any internal party election that could make them officers, parliamentary and presidential candidates of the party until after two years.

Hello! You need the numbers and yet you are stating conditions! How?

It was very clear that the NPP, under this administration knows that 2028 could also desert it, so it should quickly right the wrongs and hopefully, the 2.1 million will come back home.

What should have been the right thing to do, is for the Establishment and the NPP to sincerely apologise to those they wronged, begged for forgiveness and plead for reconciliation and pure reunion for the party to become one again.

So, assuming that Alan goes back, and I say assuming, what position will he hold? The man is a full presidential material and internationally acclaimed for that. Would he be acclaimed flagbearer or made running-mate? And what about this two-year probation thing?

Another way, germinating within the farm of the NPP which suggest that the party knows that without Alan it has no chance, are statements made by Ernest Owusu Bempah and Hon. Titus Glover.

Firebrand Owusu Bempah on his Facebook page, posted August 12, 2025, humbly stated that, “on behalf of the NPP, we extend our heartfelt apologies to Alan John Kyerematen.” It clearly indicates here that the Party wanted to officially apologise to Alan, but must make someone first make such a statement just to test the waters.

Then as a campaign promise to delegates during the next national executives’ elections, Hon Titus Glover stated clearly on his Facebook post on August 19, 2025 that, “I will bring back Alan Kyerematen and others under my leadership as NPP National Organiser.” He made this statement because he knows unity is the key to victory in 2028. And this he stated on his Facebook page, posted on August 20, 2025, “My comment about Alan Kyerematen’s return was made with good intentions to highlight the need for unity in rebuilding the party.”

The road to victory in 2028, for the NPP clearly lies on how it can convince Ghanaians that the original principles and directives of the party, that made people proud to join and belong to, have returned. And that would require a good relationship with Alan Kyerematen. The party’s rebirth would mean the exit of the Establishment and the return of true democracy with people awarded based on merit and not on loyalty.

A way must be found with Alan, for it clearly seems without him, in the within or in the without of the party, NPP would find it tough in 2028. Joseph’s brothers submitted to him and apologised; in the case of Alan can the NPP do same?
