DUAMPOMPOM, GHANA —Commuters on the bustling Accra-Kumasi highway faced significant delays today after a low-bed truck carrying a large excavator broke down at Duampompom, near the Anum Apapam junction. The incident, which occurred early this morning, caused a massive traffic jam, stretching for several kilometers in both directions. According to eyewitnesses, the truck suffered a mechanical failure, rendering it immobile and blocking a significant portion of the road.

Police and officials from the Ghana Highway Authority were quickly dispatched to the scene to manage the traffic flow and work on removing the broken-down vehicle. They have been directing traffic and are attempting to clear the road to restore normal traffic flow. However, the sheer size and weight of the truck and its cargo have made the operation challenging. Motorists ...

ACCRA, Ghana –  In a significant policy shift, President Mahama has issued a directive that, effective today,  July 24, 2025 , all government contracts awarded will no longer be denominated in foreign currency. This new mandate applies irrespective of the funding source for the contract. The directive was announced by Ato Forson, though further details on the implications and rationale behind the decision are anticipated. The move suggests a strategic effort by the government to potentially strengthen the local currency, manage foreign exchange risks, and promote greater stability within the national economy. This policy change is expected to have broad implications across various sectors engaged in government projects, from infrastructure development to service provision. Contractors and stakeholders will likely need to adjust their financial planning and bidding strategies to align with the new requirement for local currency denominations.

ACCRA, Ghana –  Opposition lawmakers, engaged in a walkout from today's mid-year budget review proceedings, made an unscheduled stop in Cantonments to present their initial petition to the Dean of the Diplomatic Corps.

Instead of proceeding directly from Parliament, the Members of Parliament (MPs) headed to the diplomatic enclave. The petition, the contents of which have not yet been fully disclosed, is understood to outline the Minority's concerns regarding the budget and their reasons for the boycott. Presenting it to the Dean of the Diplomatic Corps is a strategic move, aiming to draw international attention to their position and potentially exert external pressure. This development signals a significant escalation of political tensions surrounding the mid-year budget, as the Minority seeks to amplify their dissent beyond...
