Lawyers for Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs have criticised a new Netflix documentary produced by rapper 50 Cent, calling it ‘a shameful hit piece’ that uses private footage without permission.

The four-part series, Sean Combs: The Reckoning, includes recordings made days before Diddy’s 2024 arrest, including phone calls with his lawyers. Netflix has billed the footage as ‘explosive’, but Combs’ team says it was never authorised for release.

A spokesman accused Netflix of working with a ‘longtime adversary’ and trying to ‘sensationalise every minute’ of the music mogul’s life. He added that the documentary used footage Diddy had collected since his youth for his own storytelling project.

The director insists the footage was obtained legally.

The documentary also revisits old allegations involving the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur, as well as abuse claims from past lawsuits – all of which Combs has repeatedly denied.

Diddy is currently serving a 50-month prison sentence after being convicted on prostitution-related charges earlier this year. He plans to appeal.

The Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana has indefinitely postponed the District Assembly and Unit Committee by-elections, which were originally scheduled for November 11, 2025.

No new date has been announced yet, but the EC says it will communicate further details once arrangements are completed.

This was contained in a short public notice dated Wednesday, December 3, 2025. According to the Commission, the decision affects all upcoming local-level elections.

‘The Electoral Commission wishes to inform the general public that the District Assembly and Unit Committee By-Elections have been put on hold until further notice,’ the release disclosed.

It would be recalled that the Electoral Commission, on October 6, announced its readiness to conduct by-elections across various Electoral Areas and Unit Committees nationwide on Tuesday, November 11, 2025.

This follows vacancies created by the resignation or death of Assembly Members and Unit Committee Members, in line with the Local Governance Act, 2016 (Act 936), as amended by Act 940.

In a press release signed by the Chairperson, Mrs. Jean Mensa, the Commission disclosed that the nomination process will commence on Monday, October 6 and end on Thursday, October 16, 2025.

The Commission also provided nomination forms, which are available free of charge at all District Offices of the Electoral Commission or can be downloaded from the Commission’s website ([www.ec.gov.gh/forms](http://www.ec.gov.gh/forms).

Following the new development announced by the Commission, members await the new date.

The chiefs and people of Jema, a farming community in the Aowin Municipality of the Western North Region, have taken a decisive stand not to allow illegal mining activities or ‘galamsey’ in the area.

While neighbouring communities like Ngakain, Asemkrom, Boinso, and Omanpe, among others continue to struggle with the devastating effects of illegal mining, including polluted rivers, the people of Jema have resolved to protect their forest reserves and two streams which are currently very clean and potable.

According to sources, the chief of Jema had turned down numerous offers from galamseyers, including bribe worth billions of Ghana Cedis and a trip to South Africa which were meant to entice him to allow galamsey operations in Jema.

The youth of Jema have also mounted a bill board at the entrance of the community with the inscription ‘No Illegal Mining Activities On Jema Lands. You Do So At Your Own Risk.’

The community has therefore established the Jema Anti-Galamsey Advocates (JAGA), a movement dedicated to preserving the lands and ensuring illegal mining has no foothold in the area.

A leading member of the movement, Rev. Father Joseph Blay could not fathom why fertile lands and water bodies have to be destroyed in the quest for gold.

‘It takes a wicked generation to devastate its land because that generation does not want the nation to live and benefit others,’ he pointed out.

In an interview, Rev. Blay explained that the fight against galamsey in the area started in 2015 when a group of five young men from Jema went to dig in a reserved forest to prospect for gold.

‘Upon hearing the incident, some opinion leaders rushed to halt their operation and commenced sensitising the community on the effects of galamsey. There were also lots of arrests, including Chinese nationals who wanted to embark on galamsey activities in Jema,’ he added.

He said to sustain the fight against galamsey on Jema lands, the group is poised to use the Ghanaian laws to fight any form of illegal mining activities in Jema.

He added that JAGA plans to collaborate with environmental organisations to explore sustainable development opportunities that will benefit Jema, while safeguarding its natural resources.

Rev. Father Blay further opined that government should develop an environmental stewardship curriculum for all levels of students to educate the young ones.

Recently, the farmers in the community organised a fair during which they displayed some fresh vegetables and other foodstuffs, and disclosed that foodstuffs from their area are safe to eat.

Meanwhile, the Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, has praised the residents of Jema for their strong resolve in the fight against illegal mining.

He has, therefore, pledged his support for JAGA and emphasised that residents have the legal authority to arrest anyone attempting to engage in galamsey on Jema lands.

The youth of Jema, mainly farmers and motorcycle (okada) riders, have also thrown their weight behind the anti-galamsey movement.

They have, however, appealed to the government to create more employment opportunities for them, to ensure the long-term sustainability of their resistance and prevention of illegal mining.

Odefille, the Ghanaian fashion house known for its refined approach to modern C-suite apparel, will debut a bold new collection at Accra Fashion Week 2025 scheduled to take place from December 14-21, introducing a sophisticated blend of Thai-inspired design and South-East Asian styles-driven creativity.

The collection marks a significant evolution for the brand, which has built its reputation on structured silhouettes, executive-ready tailoring and a commitment to comfort, style and exclusivity.

Titled ‘The Thai Collection’, the new line draws from Thai, Indonesian related South-East Asian styles from the 1960s through the 1980s, merging vintage Asian influences with contemporary elements designed for today’s professional woman and man.

This year’s presentation moves beyond the social impact focus of Odefille’s 2024 Bambose collection, which featured textiles hand-painted by single mothers in northern Ghana. Instead, the 2025 showcase explores a more personal narrative. ‘This collection reflects that journey while staying true to our vision of empowering the modern executive through exceptional design,’ Co-Creative Director Nadia Asantewaa Nkandobi stated.

She added that the collection allowed Odefille to explore elegance through a completely new cultural lens. ‘By drawing from Thai heritage while honouring the realities of womanhood, we wanted to create pieces that feel both globally inspired and deeply personal. It is a reminder that executive fashion can evolve, adapt and still remain empowering,’ she stressed.

Odefille’s appearance at Accra Fashion Week 2025 reinforces the brand’s growing interest in global cultural references and its ambition to broaden the definitions of African executive fashion. The event will bring together designers, buyers and fashion stakeholders from more than 20 countries.

Odefille’s Thai Collection will be unveiled during the main runway showcases, offering audiences an early look at the brand’s latest exploration of global aesthetics and executive fashion.

The label will showcase the collection exclusively during the main runway events from December 14-21, 2025, joining designers from across Africa, Europe and Asia.

A private legal practitioner, Samuel Kissiedu, has cautioned that any attempt by Akosua Serwaa to overturn the recent court ruling involving the late Highlife icon, Daddy Lumba, may prove unsuccessful, describing the judgment as technically robust and procedurally sound.

Speaking on Okay FM’s morning show with Nana Romeo on Monday, 1 December 2025, the lawyer said the case was laden with intricate legal considerations, including inheritance rights, succession rules, the nature of the couple’s marriage, and conflict-of-laws issues arising from reports that the marriage occurred outside Ghana.

According to him, these complexities, coupled with procedural lapses, significantly weakened the plaintiff’s case.

‘This judgment is built on solid technical grounds. The issues about inheritance, succession, types of marriages, and conflict of laws were all critical. Because they are Ghanaians who allegedly married abroad, the conflict of laws became central. It is a fascinating ruling,’ he explained.

Mr. Kissiedu stressed that after thoroughly reviewing the judgment, he was convinced that the plaintiff fell short largely due to legal technicalities rather than factual disputes.

‘The technicalities defeated the plaintiff. I don’t know what exactly caused it-perhaps the pressure of the speedy trial-but the judge was clearly concerned about several irregularities,’ he noted.

The lawyer also revealed that early concerns raised by the court about the authenticity of certain documents-particularly the marriage certificate-were never corrected by Akosua Serwaa’s legal team.

‘Right from the injunction hearing, issues were raised about the marriage certificate. The judge expected that the lawyers would take steps to rectify the problems, but that didn’t happen,’ he said.

He added that the plaintiff’s team could have strengthened their case by verifying and authenticating the disputed documents before the trial commenced.

Mr. Kissiedu believes the ruling serves as a valuable reminder of the importance of proper documentation and adherence to legal procedure.

‘Whoever won has won, but the broader lesson is about the need for proper documentation. The judge even took time to clarify the different types of marriages under the law,’ he concluded.

The case continues to generate public interest, especially given the prominence of Daddy Lumba and the legal implications surrounding marriages contracted outside Ghana.

A High Court in Accra has given the Office of the Attorney General up to December 13, 2025, to file the terms of settlement in a plea negotiation with Patricia Asiedua aka Agradaa, who is already serving a 15-year jail term for defrauding by false pretences.

The convicted televangelist in July this year, wrote to the Attorney General seeking a plea deal in a trial in which she is accused of sharing naked pictures of Emmanuel Appiah Fomum, a ‘Prophet’ on live television while making mockery of him.

Agradaa is before the court on four counts including non-consensual sharing of intimate image contrary to Sections 67(1) of the Cybersecurity Act, (Act 1038).

Three others, Enock Owusu Kissi, 33; Charles Omane alias One Gig, 39, and Emmanuel Kofi Gyasi, 47, are also charged with abetment of crime namely; non-consensual sharing of intimate image.

Her lawyer, Kwasi Boafo told the court yesterday that the plea deal discussions were far advanced, and subsequently prayed for a short adjournment to enable the parties conclude the deal.

The court, presided over by Justice Bertha Aniagyei, after confirming the existence of the negotiations from the prosecution, gave the Office of the Attorney General up to December 13 to file the terms of the deal.

The case was adjourned to December 16, 2025, for outcome of the plea negotiations and continuation of the trial.

Meanwhile, the court has asked the prosecution to warn Emmanuel Appiah Fomum, the complainant in the matter, to avoid media interviews that could prejudice the trial.

This was after defence lawyers drew the court’s attention to an interview in which he claimed the lawyers had abandoned the accused persons, while suggesting that Agradaa had drastically changed, including losing her fair complexion since going to prison.

Agradaa, who is already serving a 15-year jail term for defrauding by false pretences, is seeking to reduce the number of years or fine the court would impose on her if found guilty at the end of the trial.

A High Court previously presided over by Justice Mary Yanzuh had ordered the accused persons to open their defence after holding that the prosecution had made a prima facie case against them to warrant a defence, and ordered them to file witness statements for witnesses they intended to call.

Trial

Prosecution document presented to the court indicates that Agradaa, who owns Thunder TV, sometime in 2021, hosted a programme on her TV station ‘and intentionally showed the naked pictures of the prophet, who is the complainant in the case, on live TV and made mockery of him, with all the other accused persons who were panelists on the said programme encouraging her on the course.’

The said programme was also streamed live on YouTube and Facebook, where a witness in the case saw it and informed the complainant about it.

Agradaa also intentionally distributed intimate images of the complainant to a witness in the case by name Nana Brown via WhatsApp.

Court documents further state that ‘The first accused (Agradaa) also published the nude pictures of the complainant which she had designed in the form of a product label of a drink (bitters) for sale on Thunder TV.’

As Ghana moves decisively into a cash-lite economy, the country’s banking landscape is being transformed by digital innovation. The pandemic and the innovative muscle of tech giants may have accelerated the shift, but the real story is one of deep structural change, evolving customer expectations, technological advances, and affirmative policy direction from government and the Bank of Ghana.

In this new environment, financial institutions like Stanbic Bank are emerging as key players leading the digital transition, using its mobile app and online banking platform to make every day finance simpler, faster, and more inclusive.

The Digital Finance Context in Ghana

Ghana’s Digital Payments Roadmap – Toward a Cash-Lite Ghana policy lays out a clear national goal: to expand digital payments, deepen financial inclusion, and reduce the economy’s dependence on cash. In 2016, only about one per cent of payment transactions in Ghana were digital, according to the Ministry of Finance. Today, thanks to regulatory reforms, infrastructure investments, and rapid mobile penetration, that picture is changing rapidly.

The Bank of Ghana’s policy evolution report on payment systems also highlights how foundational infrastructure, such as the Real-Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) system, the Ghana Interbank Payment and Settlement System (GhIPSS), and interoperability between banks and mobile money, has made digital transactions easier and safer.

The KPMG Ghana Digital Trends 2025 report notes that internet penetration now exceeds 70 per cent, while mobile connectivity has surpassed 100 per cent of the population, creating fertile ground for innovation in banking.

Similarly, the PwC 2025 Ghana Banking Survey observes that banks have rapidly adopted mobile apps, automation, and artificial intelligence to meet customer demands. This digital readiness, reinforced by a vibrant fintech sector and a supportive regulatory environment, means Ghana’s financial system is entering its most transformative phase yet.

Digital Banking in a Post-Covid World

The Covid-19 pandemic did more than disrupt everyday life; it permanently altered the way Ghanaians interact with money. Lockdowns and mobility restrictions compelled banks to rethink traditional models of service delivery, with customers quickly turning to mobile apps, online accounts, and virtual customer service.

Recent surveys show that nearly two-thirds of Ghanaian banking customers now prefer mobile apps to branch visits, valuing the speed, simplicity, and accessibility of digital channels. For both banks and customers, digitalisation means lower costs, broader reach, and faster service. It also serves a national purpose: expanding access to financial services for rural and underserved communities who have traditionally been outside the formal banking system.

Stanbic Bank, Leading the Digital Banking Revolution

Within this changing landscape, Stanbic Bank Ghana has strategically positioned itself as a trusted digital finance partner. Banking apps must be more than a convenience tool. It must represent a holistic re-imagining of how customers experience banking. Through banking apps like the Stanbic Mobile App, customers can check balances, transfer funds, pay and schedule bills, buy airtime, and even manage debit cards remotely while traveling, all within a secure and intuitive interface.

Perhaps the most transformative feature has been the bank’s online loan functionality, which allows credit-worthy customers to apply for loans digitally. The entire process, from eligibility assessment to approval and disbursement, can be completed online, eliminating the need to visit a branch or fill lengthy forms. This innovation has been particularly beneficial for customers, enabling faster access to finance and bridging the traditional gap between the banked and unbanked.

Stanbic has also streamlined digital onboarding, allowing customers to initiate account opening remotely. This feature, coupled with 24-hour availability of services, has redefined convenience for individuals and businesses alike. Importantly, these advances are supported by the bank’s strong cybersecurity framework and compliance with Bank of Ghana’s data protection and e-payment guidelines, assuring customers of safety and trust.

A Broader Value Proposition

For customers, the benefits of digital transformation are tangible: round-the-clock access to services, faster loan approvals, real-time account monitoring, and seamless bill payments. For businesses, digital banking reduces transaction costs and provides access to better analytics for cash flow management.

For the bank, digitisation brings scalability and efficiency, allowing Stanbic to serve more customers with less physical infrastructure. It also provides valuable insights from customer data, helping the bank tailor its products and risk management models. By embracing technology while maintaining its human touch through physical branches and relationship managers, Stanbic offers a hybrid model that accommodates both digital natives and traditional customers.

Stanbic Bank’s approach to digital banking also aligns with Ghana’s financial inclusion agenda. By enabling customers to open accounts, access loans, and transact digitally, the bank reaches individuals and small enterprises that would otherwise face geographic or logistical barriers. This complements national efforts to expand digital access and promote financial literacy.

Moreover, the bank’s partnerships within the fintech ecosystem, including interoperability with mobile money platforms, demonstrate a collaborative approach to building an inclusive financial future. This is precisely the model envisioned by the Bank of Ghana FinTech Sector Report 2024, which emphasises the need for banks and fintechs to co-create digital solutions that serve broader economic participation.

The Future of Banking

Despite progress, challenges remain. Digital literacy gaps, inconsistent connectivity, and lingering mistrust in online transactions continue to limit full adoption. Many customers still value the reassurance of physical interaction, with nearly half of banking clients indicating a preference for traditional channels. We must recognise this and continue to invest in customer experience, in-app value creation, and awareness campaigns to build confidence in digital services.

For instance, Stanbic Bank maintains a strong physical presence across Ghana to serve customers who are transitioning gradually to digital platforms. The strategy reflects a practical understanding of the Ghanaian market: digital transformation succeeds when it meets people where they are.

The direction of travel is clear. With Ghana’s digital economy expanding rapidly, the next wave of competition will centre on user experience, personalisation, and real-time services. Banks that offer simple, fast, and secure digital solutions will define the future of financial services.

For the Stanbic Mobile App, that future has already begun; a commitment to continuous investment in technology, customer-centric app design, and alignment with national digitalisation goals mark it out as a leader in Ghana’s financial transformation. In many ways, Stanbic’s model illustrates what the Cash-Lite Roadmap envisions: a future where every Ghanaian can access affordable, reliable, and convenient banking from the palm of their hand.

In bridging the gap between digital aspiration and financial inclusion, Stanbic Bank Ghana is not merely adapting to the digital age; it is helping to define it.

Ghana’s inflation fell to 8% in October 2025, the lowest level since early 2020, after peaking at 23.8% in December 2024.

The Ghana Statistical Service reported a 9th consecutive month of reduction, signalling policy successes and economic stabilisation. However, respite appears to be a long way off for consumers and businesses.

Market prices, transport fares and operating costs remain high; inflation has only slowed, not reversed. Prices are not declining; they are rising less aggressively. This illusory peace comes after years of turbulence. Liquidity remains tight, and the high cost of living continues.

As a business coach with nearly 20 years’ experience guiding firms through similar cycles in Ghana and beyond, I agree that falling inflation inspires confidence, but survival requires strategy.

To succeed in an environment where numbers improve but reality bites, business managers must grasp why expenses remain sticky and react by reducing operations, renegotiating supply chains, and focusing on resilient revenue streams. I have explored why inflation is falling yet our bills are not.

The import curse we cannot break

In 2024, the Ghanaian cedi fell by 25% against major currencies. Although foreign reserves are recovering through gold swaps, the repercussions of the depreciation continue.

Ghana imports more than 40% of its goods, including factory machinery and boutique fabrics. Even if inflation falls, a weaker cedi raises the price of these goods in local currency. According to a poultry sector client, ‘Feed prices dropped 3%, but the U.S. maize supplier raised quotes by 10% due to currency risks.’

Importers are paying greater prices, and declining inflation has not yet countered these increases.

Transport and utility costs remain high

Even when inflation slows, transport and electricity costs rarely revert. Fuel prices may level out, but taxes, levies and infrastructure expenditures remain high. If your products rely substantially on logistics, such as food delivery, retail or manufacturing, you will still bear the burden of high transport costs.

Optimise delivery routes and logistics alliances. Consider shared transportation models with other businesses. If possible, relocate operations closer to key markets or suppliers to reduce distance-related costs.

Consumer confidence and purchasing power remain low

While inflation is reducing, real incomes have not kept up. Many Ghanaians remain cautious about spending since their incomes do not go as far as they once did.

The middle class, which formerly supported many SMEs with consistent purchases, is still recovering. Consumers are now more sceptical of prices, preferring cheaper or smaller solutions. Segment your market and provide ‘value-for-money’ versions of your products.

Concentrate on consumer loyalty rather than one-off sales. Introduce payment options such as mobile money instalments, loyalty discounts and referral programmes.

People slowly adjust to economic changes

Inflation impacts not only wallets, but also mentality. Despite improving economic data, both consumers and business owners become cautious and sceptical. The ‘inflation hangover’ has slowed consumption and investment.

People still believe prices are high because they remember the pain of rapid inflation. This mood influences purchasing behaviour even when macroeconomic conditions improve. Rebuild customer trust by explaining prices, providing consistent quality, and demonstrating empathy.

Tell your company’s story, including why your brand remains trusted in the face of adversity. Create experiences rather than just products; small acts of service or surprise bonuses can help clients feel appreciated again.

What business owners should remember

Falling inflation is excellent news, as it implies the economy is stabilising and confidence can begin to return. However, it is not an automatic solution. As a business owner, you must be vigilant, nimble and adaptable.

Now is the time to:

Rebuild efficiency by auditing costs, streamlining operations, and implementing simple technology solutions.

Prioritise customer connections, as loyalty is increasingly valuable.

Plan for growth, not simply survival: as stability improves, position your organisation to capitalise on opportunities early.

Strategic, data-driven and customer-centred firms will be rewarded over the next 12 months. Ghana’s economy is adjusting, and those who prepare now will succeed tomorrow.

Conclusion

Ghana’s inflation rate has fallen to 8%, a significant milestone that signals hope. However, for business owners, the path to full recovery takes more than optimism. It requires understanding the causes that keep prices high and proactively adjusting to them.

In this new period of economic stabilisation, entrepreneurs must transition from reaction to preparedness, from simply surviving inflation to mastering post-inflationary business strategy. While costs remain high, so do the chances for those willing to think outside the box, lead fearlessly, and rebuild with purpose.

Former Executive Director of National Service Authority (NSA), Osei Assibey Antwi, is struggling to execute the GHS623 million bail granted him by a High Court in Accra, despite the sum being reduced from the initial GHS800 million.

He has been in the custody of the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) since October 2025, when he first appeared before the court and pleaded not guilty to all the charges accusing him of stealing about GHS650 million from the state.

Mr. Osei Assibey has been charged with a total of 14 counts of stealing, causing financial loss to the state, and money laundering.

He is accused of causing financial loss of GHS8,256,000 to the state by authorising transfers from the NSA’s Control Account to e-zwich card number 1177042059, which is registered in his name.

He is again accused of laundering the GHS8,256,000 by diverting it into his e-zwich account knowing the money formed part of unlawful activity.

The former Mayor of Kumasi is also facing charges of causing financial loss of GHS55 million belonging to the NSA by authorising the withdrawal of the said amount from Project Account number 1018631542212 for the Kumawu Farm Project ‘without expending it on the project.’

On October 30, 2025, a High Court presided over by Justice Kizita Naa Quarshie granted Mr. Assibey a bail of GHS800 million with six sureties who are to present security with landed property equivalent to the bail sum.

The sureties are to deposit copies of their ID cards with the registry of the court, while the accused is to deposit his passports with the registrar.

The accused was further placed on the Ghana Immigration Stop List pending the determination of this case. The trial was adjourned to December 2 for case management.

Struggling to meet the bail conditions, he filed an application for variation of terms through his lawyers, arguing that the bail sum was excessive and almost impossible to execute.

His lawyer, Alex Osei Owusu, had described the bail sum as ‘a record in the history of this country,’ arguing that ‘bail should not be used as a punishment even before he is convicted; God forbid.’

On November 12, 2025, Justice Marie-Louise Simmons, a relieving judge, partially granted the application and reduced the bail sum from GHS800 million to GHS623 million, but maintained all the other terms.

Twenty days later, he still hasn’t been able to meet the bail terms, compelling his lawyers to file another application for variation, hoping the bail sum would be reduced substantially to enable him execute it and reunite with his family.

However, it turned out that the Office of the Attorney General had not been served with the application, forcing the court to adjourn the hearing to December 11, 2025 for consideration.

Meanwhile, the court has adjourned the trial to January 19, 2026, for case management, as the prosecution could not meet the deadline set by the court for them to file disclosures and witness statements and serve same on the defence.

‘.Due to a few drawbacks regarding our witnesses, we were unable to meet the said deadline. We therefore, humbly pray for an adjournment to enable us comply with the court’s orders,’ Dufie Prempeh, a Principal State Attorney told the court yesterday.

‘We were hoping that as at today we would have received the documents, but we have not. In the circumstances, we do not have any choice,’ Paa Kwesi Kuboadzi, a member of the defence team responded.

The National Media Commission (NMC), has directed online news portal, Modern Ghana and Accra-based Class FM to apologise and retract publications described as misleading and damaging against Adamus Resources Limited and its Chief Executive, Ms. Angela List.

A statement issued and signed by the Executive Secretary of the National Media Commission, George Sarpong, said representatives of ModernGhana.com acknowledged that they erred for failing to contact the complainants to verify the information prior to publication.

It said Class FM similarly admitted that it failed to verify the information before publication, and offered no justification for this breach of journalistic standards.

According to the Commission, though the respondents mentioned that the said publications were subsequently removed from their portals, the complainants emphasised the significant reputational harm arising from the publications, including concerns raised by their international partners.

It stated that the respondents breached fundamental journalistic ethics by failing to verify information before publication, contrary to Articles 4 and 5 of the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) Code of Ethics, 2017, after reviewing the facts of the case.

It also stated among other things that although the respondents removed the initial stories when prompted, they continued to publish related content thereafter.

The Commission therefore ruled that ‘ModernGhana.com and Class FM must retract and/or remove all publications concerning the complainants that were issued without verification. Any retraction must receive the same prominence as the original publication.’

‘Both media outlets must publish a formal apology to the complainants. All retractions, removals, and apologies must be completed within seven (7) days of this press release,’ parts of the statement read.

It further encouraged all parties to sustain the cordial atmosphere established during the settlement meeting, emphasising that mutual respect and adherence to ethical standards remain essential to strengthening both media practice and corporate engagement in Ghana.
