Power To The People: Rethinking Local Governance In Ghana

Power To The People: Rethinking Local Governance In Ghana

Features
Democracy, at its core, is power vested in the people—a government by the people and for the people. But in Ghana, does governance truly reflect this principle? My recent visit to Germany for a conference exposed a stark difference in how local governance functions. In Oberhausen, a relatively small and “remote” city, systems worked seamlessly. Roads were in good condition, sanitation was well-managed, and community development was not dependent on politicians’ benevolence. Governance was not just a distant concept but an everyday practice. Back home in Ghana, however, local governance appears weak, with citizens having little or no real influence over the spaces they inhabit. A critical problem lies in the widespread ignorance surrounding the roles of Members of Parliament (MPs) and Me...

Ghana’s Vehicle Paradox: Roadworthy Cars Parked, Unroadworthy Ones Dominating The Roads

Ghana’s Vehicle Paradox: Roadworthy Cars Parked, Unroadworthy Ones Dominating The Roads

Features
Welcome to Ghana, a country where the best cars aren’t on the roads, but parked in showrooms and dealerships—often waiting years to be sold. Meanwhile, thousands of citizens jostle for space in rickety, smoke-belching commercial vehicles that should have been retired long ago. The contrast is striking. Why is it that brand-new and relatively new vehicles remain idle in dealerships while the majority of Ghanaians rely on aging, unroadworthy cars for daily transport? During a recent visit to Oberhausen, Germany, I couldn’t help but notice the absence of old, decrepit vehicles on the roads. In my week-long stay, I did not spot a single car in poor condition. Every vehicle appeared well-maintained, efficient, and safe. This left me wondering: how does Ghana enforce roadworthiness tests, and...

Ghana News, Headlines Today
The Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC) has urged the Government of Ghana (GoG) to expedite action on the Domestic Debt Exchange Programme (DDEP) to help resolve the economic challenges facing the country.

Ghana Institute of Foresters cautions against de-classification of Achimota Forest

Ghana Institute of Foresters cautions against de-classification of Achimota Forest

Ghana News, World News
The Ghana Institute of Foresters (GIF) has cautioned the government not to go ahead with its plans to de-reserve part of the Achimota Forest as it could cause the country to lose more urban forest reserves. The Institute, instead wants the government to keep the urban forests as public lands to safeguard the vital environmental services they provide. According to the GIF, with most of Ghana's forest reserves having not been compensated for, de-reserving part of the Achimota Forest will cause owners of other forest reserves to demand the release of their lands to them. In a statement issued by the GIF on June 1, 2022, the President of the Institute, Professor S.K. Oppong, admonished the government as to as matter of urgency, withdraw E.I, 144 that sought to de-reserve portion of th...
