The Minority Caucus of Parliament is calling for decisive sanctions against Victoria Emeafa Hardcastle, Acting CEO of the Petroleum Commission, for her alleged contemptuous conduct towards Frank Annoh-Dompreh, Minority Chief Whip. Hardcastle reportedly described Annoh-Dompreh's conduct as "silly" during an interaction on January 28, 2025, which the Caucus deemed an attempt to undermine Annoh-Dompreh's authority and an affront to Parliament's dignity.

The Caucus referenced the landmark case of K.T. Hammond v. William Ampem-Darko, emphasizing that no individual can verbally or physically assault a Member of Parliament for their actions within their duties. They're demanding sanctions, including fines, imprisonment, restriction from parliamentary precincts, and a mandatory public apology.

Annoh-Dompreh himself raised the issue on the floor of Parliament, prompting bipartisan unity among members. The Speaker, Alban S.K. Bagbin, acknowledged the gravity of the situation and assured the House that he would personally handle the matter and report back by Friday.

Diageo plc has sold its 80.4% stake in Guinness Ghana Breweries plc to Castel Group for $81 million, strengthening their partnership across Africa. Despite the sale, Diageo retains ownership of the Guinness brand and other key products, and will continue to control brand strategy and marketing in collaboration with Castel.

Guinness Ghana will remain listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange, and the company will continue to produce and distribute popular Diageo brands, including Malta Guinness, Orijin, Smirnoff Ice, Alvaro, and mainstream spirits.

This move aligns with Diageo's flexible, asset-light beer operating model, allowing the company to tailor its business structure to different local markets for greater efficiency and profitability. By partnering with Castel, Diageo aims to drive sustainable growth for Guinness and its other brands in Ghana.

The transaction is expected to be completed within 2025, pending regulatory approvals. Diageo's President of Africa, Dayalan Nayager, expressed confidence in the transition, while Castel Group's CEO, Gregory Clerc, highlighted the company's commitment to expansion in Africa.

A formal petition has been submitted to President John Dramani Mahama, seeking the removal of Electoral Commission (EC) Chairperson Jean Mensa, along with her deputies, Samuel Tetteh and Dr. Bossman Eric Asare, as well as EC member Dr. Peter Appiahene.

The petition, filed by Daniel Ofosu Appiah on January 27, 2025, cites breaches of the 1992 Constitution, including:
1. Breach of fundamental human rights: Denial of voters' rights in the Santrokofi, Akpafu, Likpe, and Lolobi (SALL) areas during the 2020 parliamentary elections.

2. Constitutional breaches: Incompetence, bias, and actions that undermine public confidence in the EC's impartiality and integrity.

3. Gross misconduct: Poor handling of the 2020 elections, including errors in presidential election results and claims of bias by commissioners.

The petitioner accuses the EC Chair and her deputies of demonstrating gross incompetence and undermining the integrity of the Electoral Commission. The petition calls on President Mahama to act under Article 146 of the Constitution to restore public confidence in the electoral process.

This is not the first time Jean Mensa has faced calls for her removal. In August 2020, she survived a petition by the Alliance for Social Equity and Public Accountability (ASEPA), and in August 2022, the Fix the Country Movement petitioned against her over issues related to the SALL area.

Tia Ibrahim, the Minister-Designate for the Northeast Region of Ghana, has shed light on the Gambaga Witches Camp, a settlement for individuals accused of witchcraft. Established as a sanctuary, the camp protects accused individuals from harm or death, offering an alternative to violent repercussions.

The camp's history is fascinating. Initially, accused witches were killed, but the then Imam condemned these killings and proposed sending them to a traditional priest to neutralize the alleged witchery. This marked the beginning of the Gambaga Witches Camp as a refuge.

The camp has about 25 round huts and holds around 100 inmates. However, living conditions are challenging, with no access to health services or indoor plumbing.

Challenges and Controversies
Despite serving as a refuge, the camp is not without controversy. Accused witches still face stigma and discrimination, both within and outside the camp. Women, in particular, are vulnerable to accusations of witchcraft, often due to superstition or as a result of being ostracized by their communities.

Ibrahim's perspective highlights the complexities surrounding the Gambaga Witches Camp, emphasizing the need for a nuanced understanding of its history, significance, and challenges.

Minister Quame Gyedu, a Kumasi-based contemporary gospel artiste, has expressed concerns that musicians outside Accra lack adequate TV coverage, putting them at a disadvantage for awards like the Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA). Despite welcoming the introduction of a new category, Best Urban/Contemporary Gospel song, he believes more needs to be done to bridge the gap.

Gyedu's concerns stem from the fact that while radio coverage is sufficient in Kumasi, TV coverage is limited, making it challenging for artists to gain recognition. He emphasized that artists in Kumasi have exceptional talent and deserve compensation for their work.

The Telecel Ghana Music Awards have recognized various artists in different categories, including Best Gospel Song and Best Gospel Artiste, with winners such as Nacee and Diana Hamilton. However, Gyedu's concerns highlight the need for greater representation and recognition of artists from regions outside Accra.

Nana Ama McBrown, a renowned Ghanaian media personality and actress, has finally addressed the long-standing accusations and rumors surrounding her alleged involvement in the death of actress Suzzy Williams.

Suzzy Williams passed away in a car accident in September 2005, at the peak of her career. Following her death, rumors emerged that McBrown was responsible for Suzzy's demise, fueled by speculation that McBrown was seeking to overshadow Suzzy's success.

In a recent interview on Onua Showtime, McBrown vehemently denied these allegations, expressing her frustration and hurt caused by these rumors. She recounted her relationship with Suzzy, describing her as a "sister" and acknowledging Suzzy's superior success at the time.

McBrown recalled learning of Suzzy's passing upon her return from Italy and immediately contacting Kofi Adjorlolo to confirm the news. She emphasized that the accusations of her involvement in Suzzy's death began circulating shortly after.
The actress challenged her accusers to provide evidence, stating, "If I've ever gone to any juju man, I challenge them to come forward and speak." McBrown attributed the rumors to ignorance, noting that she and Suzzy came from different ethnic backgrounds, making it implausible for her to have orchestrated Suzzy's death.

McBrown concluded by saying that she leaves the matter to God, acknowledging that the rumors still hurt her to this day. Her emotional response highlights the devastating impact of unfounded accusations on one's reputation and well-being.

BullGod, an artiste manager, has shared his insights on the shifting landscape of music consumption, emphasizing the need for adaptation in the digital age. In a recent interview, he suggested that investing in music videos may not be the wisest business decision in 2025, citing the diminishing relevance of video content.
Instead, BullGod recommends exploring alternative methods, such as visualizers, which have proven to be more effective in today's digital landscape. He notes that people's consumption habits have changed, and they no longer engage with video content as they used to.

The internet plays a dual role in this context, serving as both a beneficial tool and a detrimental force for artists. BullGod advises producers and musicians to stay focused, reassess their plans, and adopt creative strategies to navigate the rapidly evolving digital landscape.

This shift in music consumption is part of a broader trend, with streaming services revolutionizing the way people engage with music. According to recent reports, streaming revenue has exploded, reaching $17.5 billion in 2022, with subscription streaming revenues growing by 11.2% in 2023.

As the music industry continues to adapt to these changes, it's essential for artists, producers, and managers to stay informed and adjust their strategies accordingly.

President John Dramani Mahama has urged African Union (AU) member states to prioritize the inclusion of women and youth in leadership roles, emphasizing that Africa's future depends on empowering these underrepresented groups. He highlighted the importance of institutionalizing frameworks that enable young people and women to lead at all levels of governance.

Mahama also expressed concerns about the AU's reliance on external funding, which he believes compromises the organization's independence and ability to set its own agenda. Instead, he advocated for the expedited implementation of the Kigali decision on financing the AU to promote self-reliance.

In addition to these concerns, Mahama acknowledged the AU's achievements, such as the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and its contributions to peace and security. However, he stressed that the continent's challenges, including youth unemployment, food insecurity, governance deficits, and climate change, require bold and transformative reforms.

The AU has been working on institutional reforms, led by President Paul Kagame, to enhance the organization's effectiveness and financial stability. The reforms focus on five key areas, including :
Focusing on fewer priority areas with continental scope
Institutional Realignment

Connecting the AU with African Citizenry

Management of AU at the political and operational levels

Sustainable Financing of AU programmes

These reforms aim to strengthen the AU and enable it to better address the challenges facing the continent.

Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, the Minister-Designate for Lands and Natural Resources, has emphasized the need to reform Ghana's mining licensing regime. The current framework has been criticized for its inconsistencies, loopholes, and susceptibility to abuse, hindering the sector's potential for sustainable growth.

Inefficiencies and Duplication: The licensing process is fragmented, creating opportunities for exploitation and regulatory non-compliance.

Loopholes: Individuals can hold multiple licenses for adjacent areas without being classified as large-scale miners.

Environmental Concerns: Unregulated and illegal mining have severe environmental consequences.

Streamlining the Licensing Regime: To eliminate inefficiencies and duplication.

Enhancing Oversight: To ensure compliance with industry standards.

Stricter Environmental Guidelines: To hold mining companies accountable for land reclamation and pollution control.

By addressing these challenges, Armah-Kofi Buah aims to bolster the sector's credibility and position Ghana's mining industry for long-term, sustainable growth.

A group of NDC supporters have gathered at the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) headquarters to protest the appointment of Anthony Sarpong as Acting Commissioner-General. The protesters are unhappy about Sarpong's perceived ties to the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), which they believe could compromise the party's interests.

Sarpong, a seasoned accountant and auditor, was appointed by President John Dramani Mahama on January 21 to oversee Ghana's tax collection and revenue mobilization efforts. Despite his qualifications, some NDC members are opposing his appointment, citing concerns about his loyalty to the government's revenue agenda.

The protesters are calling on President Mahama to rescind Sarpong's appointment, arguing that placing someone aligned with the opposition in a critical role could undermine the party's influence. This controversy highlights the tensions within the ruling NDC as it balances party loyalty with the need for competent leadership to address pressing economic challenges.

The government has yet to respond to the protesters' demands. Meanwhile, some NDC youth groups have given President Mahama a 5-day ultimatum to revoke Sarpong's appointment, threatening to protest if their demands are not met.

Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak, the Minister-Designate for Interior, has pledged to address concerns about fairness in Ghana's security services recruitment process. He aims to achieve this by reviewing the regional quota system, ensuring equity and inclusivity in the process.

Muntaka emphasized the need for a transparent and balanced process that reflects Ghana's diverse makeup. He expressed concerns over instances where minorities are sidelined, leaving opportunities to benefit only a select majority.
To achieve his goals, Muntaka will work closely with the heads of security services to review and improve the recruitment process. He acknowledged the expertise of professionals in the field, including the Inspector General of Police and the Director General of Ghana Prisons.

Muntaka's commitment to fairness and inclusivity in the recruitment process is crucial, especially considering the concerns raised by the NDC Parliamentary Minority about the opacity of the recruitment process.

Ghanaian media personality and entrepreneur Serwaa Amihere has cautioned the youth, particularly young women, to exercise extreme vigilance and discernment in their decision-making at a tender age, as the choices they make can have far-reaching and lasting consequences. Drawing from her personal experience, she shared this sage advice in reference to her highly publicized controversy with Henry Fitz last year, which she revealed led to a debilitating battle with depression and a trying period in her life.

A newly arrived resident in Ghana has expressed outrage over the common practice of quoting real estate and rental property prices in US dollars rather than Ghanaian cedis, condemning it as a blatant exploitation of Ghanaian citizens. "You're charging US dollars in Ghana, why?" she asked incredulously, emphasizing the unfairness of this practice. The concerned individual also urged her fellow diasporans to join her in rejecting this trend, advocating for a more transparent and equitable property market in Ghana.
