A wave of frustration and desperation has swept through the Adum PZ market in Kumasi, where traders, devastated by a recent fire, have rejected food donations offered by the Interior Minister and Asawase Member of Parliament, Mohammed Mubarak Muntaka. The victims, who lost their livelihoods in the blaze, are vehemently demanding financial assistance to rebuild their businesses, emphasizing that immediate monetary support is far more crucial than temporary relief items. The destructive fire, which erupted on March 21, 2025, ravaged numerous shops and stalls, leaving countless traders in a state of financial ruin and emotional distress. The incident has plunged many families into uncertainty, as they struggle to recover from the loss of their primary source of income.

President Mahama Initiates Process for Potential Removal of Chief Justice, Forwarding Petitions to Council of State

-



President Mahama has taken a significant step in the legal process by forwarding three petitions seeking the removal of the Chief Justice to the Council of State for consultation. This action is in strict adherence to Article 146 of Ghana's 1992 Constitution, which outlines the procedure for the removal of a Chief Justice.

The petitions, which contain allegations against the Chief Justice, have now entered a critical phase of review. The Council of State, an advisory body to the President, is mandated by the constitution to provide counsel on matters of national importance, including the removal of high-ranking officials.

Article 146 of the 1992 Constitution specifies the steps involved in the removal of a Chief Justice or other Justices of the Superior Court. The process begins with a petition to the President, who then refers the matter to the Council of State for consultation. Following the Council's advice, the President may then forward the petition to the Chief Justice, who is given the opportunity to respond.



The petitions' specific contents and the nature of the allegations have not been publicly disclosed, but they have triggered a process that could have significant implications for the judiciary. The Council of State's consultation is a crucial step in ensuring transparency and fairness in the handling of these serious matters.

"The President's action is in line with the constitutional requirements," stated a source close to the Presidency. "He is committed to upholding the rule of law and ensuring that due process is followed."

The Council of State will now examine the petitions and provide its advice to the President. This advice will play a pivotal role in determining the next steps in the process. The public is keenly observing the developments, recognizing the sensitivity and importance of this matter.

The process underscores the constitutional mechanisms in place to ensure accountability and integrity within the judiciary. The outcome of the Council of State's consultations and the subsequent actions taken by the President will be closely watched, as they will have significant implications for the administration of justice in Ghana.

THE PEOPLE OF KUSAUG STAND UNITED AGAINST DIVISIVE RHETORIC AND DECEPTION

Recent remarks made by Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, also known as Napo, running mate to Alhaji Mahamud Bawumia, represent a clear and dangerous attempt to sow discord within Kusaug. In a viral video, Napo falsely accuses H.E. John Dramani Mahama of plotting to divide the Kusasi and Mamprusi people, along with other tribes, should he return to office. These baseless claims are not only deceptive and irresponsible, but they also have the potential to inflame tensions and destabilize the peace we are striving to maintain in the area. Such reckless rhetoric must be unequivocally condemned. The people of Kusaug have closely followed the commitments of various political leaders regarding our area’s future. At no point has John Dramani Mahama ever sought to divide the Kusasi and Mamprusi people. During his visit to the Zugraan Bawku Naaba’s palace, Mahama responded to a request by the chiefs and people of Kusaug by highlighting the potential creation of a Kusaug Region. He described it as a via...
