GCB Bank Launches New Sustainability Programme

GCB Bank Plc has unveiled a comprehensive sustainability programme that sets a new standard for responsible banking in the country.

At the heart of the programme are six flagship initiatives, namely Sheagles Soar, R³ (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle), i-360, Evolve, and EagleTouch, designed to embed social impact, environmental stewardship, and strong governance across the bank’s operations. Together, they position GCB as a leader in sustainable finance.

Launching the programme, the Board Chairman, Professor Joshua Alabi, described it as a ‘blueprint for a sustainable future,’ noting that GCB is determined to lead sustainable banking in Ghana and beyond.

‘As the premier bank, we must lead by example. By putting people and planet first in all our operations, we will secure profit in the truest sense, profit that is inclusive, resilient, and beneficial to all stakeholders,’ Prof. Alabi said.

The Managing Director, Farihan Alhassan, emphasised that sustainability is not an add-on but a cultural shift within GCB.

‘Our strategy is anchored in a baseline assessment aligned with national and global commitments, including the Paris Agreement and the UN SDGs. Built on three pillars, Environmental Stewardship, Social Responsibility, and Ethical Governance, it reflects the triple bottom line of people, planet, and profit.’

Head of Special Projects and Investor Relations, George Fuachie, added that GCB is determined to lead the charge. ‘Sustainability is no longer a buzzword; it has become a way of doing business.’

The launch featured a panel discussion titled ‘People, Planet, and Profit: Sustainable Operations for Impact and Opportunity,’ moderated by Cynthia Ofori-Dwumfuo, Chief Marketing, Communications and Customer Experience Officer of GCB Bank.

The panel included GCB Board Member Pamela Addo, SUCCA Africa’s Mark Ofori Kwafo, and GCB’s Head of Credit Risk, Edward Sasu Adofo.

Panelists called for sustainability to be fully integrated into banking operations, highlighting financial inclusion, gender-responsive products, youth banking, and climate-smart agriculture as key to long-term impact.

They cautioned that climate risks pose real threats but also open opportunities in renewable energy, green jobs, and sustainable farming.

Profitability, they stressed, must advance hand in hand with social empowerment and environmental care.

Easy Ways To Reduce Heavy Metals In Food and Water At Home

Heavy metal pollution is a growing concern in many parts of Ghana, especially in communities near galamsey (small-scale gold mining) sites.

Toxic metals like arsenic, mercury, lead, and cadmium can seep into rivers, soils, and food crops from mining runoff and mercury use in gold extraction.

Long-term exposure to these metals is linked to serious health issues – from nerve and brain damage to organ failure and cancer.

The good news is that families can take action at home.

This article explores truly cost-free methods to reduce or remove heavy metals from drinking water and foods using only readily available, discarded, or natural materials.

It explains how each method works scientifically and provides step-by-step guidance, backed by research and public health sources, to help keep your household safe.

Heavy Metals and Galamsey: A Hidden Danger

Illegal and small-scale mining (galamsey) often contaminates nearby water sources and farmlands with heavy metals. For instance, mercury used to extract gold can wash into rivers and fish. Arsenic occurs naturally in some gold-bearing rocks and can leach into groundwater.

Lead and cadmium may also be present in mining waste and fertilizers, ending up in soils or water. These metals are odorless and tasteless in water and can accumulate in food crops without obvious signs. Consuming even low levels over time can cause chronic poisoning.

Children and pregnant women are especially vulnerable – lead, for example, harms brain development. This makes it vital for households in mining-affected areas to adopt simple precautions in daily cooking and drinking habits.

Easy Water Purification Techniques

Ghana’s climate and local resources offer several low-cost water treatment methods that require no fancy filters or expensive chemicals. Below are effective techniques using everyday materials like fruit peels, charcoal from cooking fires, and even sunlight.

Each method targets heavy metal contaminants by either adsorbing (binding) the metal ions or physically separating them from the water. You can use these methods individually or even combine them for better results.

Always start with the clearest water possible (let muddy water settle, or filter debris with a cloth) before applying these treatments. And remember: after removing heavy metals, you should still boil or disinfect water to kill microbes if it’s not from a treated source.

Banana Peel Water Filters

Banana peels, a common throw-away item, turn out to be powerful natural water purifiers. Banana peels contain pectin and other compounds with negatively charged carboxyl and hydroxyl groups. These functional groups attract and bind heavy metal ions (which are positively charged) like a magnet.

Researchers have found that dried banana peel can adsorb substantial amounts of metals from water – for example, up to 7.97 mg of lead and 5.71 mg of cadmium per gram of peel in lab tests.

In fact, minced banana peel was shown to remove lead and copper from river water as effectively as or better than many commercial filtering materials. Banana peel filters worked across a wide range of water pH and could be reused multiple times without losing potency.

How To Use Banana Peels To Purify Water:

Collect and prepare peels: Rinse banana peels to remove dirt or pesticides, then cut them into small pieces. For best results, sun-dry the peel pieces or lightly heat them (not burning) to remove moisture – dry peels seem to adsorb metals more effectively. You can crush or grind the dried peels into a coarse powder if possible, to increase the surface area.

Soak or filter the water: Place the peel pieces/powder in the contaminated water. Use about one peeled banana’s worth of material per few liters of water (exact amounts aren’t critical; more peel can grab more metal). Stir the water and let it sit for at least 30 minutes. During this time, the heavy metal ions will attach to the banana peel. Studies show that simply mixing banana peel with arsenic-spiked water and shaking for 30 minutes removed up to 90% of the arsenic.

Separate the peels and use the water: After soaking, strain out the banana peels by pouring the water through a clean cloth or fine mesh. The heavy metals remain bound to the peels you remove. Discard the used peels in the trash or by burying – do not eat them or feed them to animals, since they now contain the concentrated toxins. Finally, for drinking water, it’s wise to boil or disinfect the filtered water.

Rice Husk and Plant Waste Adsorbents

Rice husks, coconut shells, maize cobs, or sawdust are excellent natural filters. Rice husks are rich in silica and cellulose, giving them a natural ability to bind metals like lead, cadmium, and copper. To use, pack a cloth bag with clean rice husks and pour water through.

Alternatively, burn the husks lightly to create rice husk ash, stir it into water, and let it settle before decanting. The ash’s fine silica attracts heavy metal ions, cleaning the water. Dispose of the husk or ash safely afterward.

Moringa Seed Powder (Natural Coagulant)

The seeds of the Moringa tree can clarify dirty water and remove some heavy metals. Shell the seeds, grind the kernels into powder, and stir one or two seeds’ worth into a bucket of water. After 30 minutes, particles settle at the bottom. Decant or filter the clear water at the top. The seed’s natural proteins bind with metals and microbes, helping purify the water.

Safer Food Preparation Techniques at Home

Heavy metals also enter through food. These techniques can lower your exposure:

– Wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly to remove dust and soil.

– Peel or discard outer layers of root and leafy vegetables.

– Cook rice or greens in plenty of water and discard the water afterward; this leaches out arsenic and lead.

– Soak produce in mild vinegar or lemon water for 10-20 minutes, then rinse. The acid helps dissolve metal residues.

– Avoid concentrating sauces or dried foods from contaminated produce, as this increases metal concentration.

– Choose smaller fish (like tilapia or sardines) instead of large predators like tuna or shark, which accumulate mercury.

– Eat a varied diet rich in calcium and iron to reduce heavy metal absorption in your body.

Safety and Disposal Tips

Used banana peels, charcoal, or rice husks will contain the metals they absorbed. Do not reuse them or add them to compost for food crops. Bury or discard them safely. Replace and adsorbents regularly. Combining methods – such as Moringa plus sand filter – can improve results. In severely contaminated areas, push for community water testing and alternative clean sources. Join the anti-galamsey campaign.

Conclusion

Heavy metal pollution from galamsey and other sources is a serious challenge, but families can protect themselves using simple science and local resources. Banana peels, rice husks, Moringa seeds, and sunlight can all make water safer. Proper washing, soaking, and cooking reduce metals in food.

These methods cost nothing yet can save lives. Clean water and safe food are possible when households take small, informed steps – turning waste into protection.

Daddy Lumba’s Wife, Children Seek Funeral Injunction

The immediate family of late highlife legend, Charles Kwadwo Fosu, popularly known as Daddy Lumba, has filed a court injunction to halt funeral and burial arrangements announced by a faction of the extended family.

In a statement issued yesterday, the immediate family, comprising his wife, Mrs. Akosua Serwah Fosu and their children, said they were ‘deeply distressed’ to learn of funeral plans being circulated on social media without their knowledge or consent.

According to the statement, Abusuapanyin Kofi Wusu and members of a funeral committee had publicly announced a funeral date for the late musician during an interview on October 8, without consulting the deceased’s legal wife or children.

The family described the action as ‘disrespectful and inconsiderate,’ accusing the organisers of sidelining them in all burial-related decisions since the musician’s passing on July 26, 2025, in Accra.

‘Hearing about your own husband’s funeral plans for the first time through social media is deeply distressing,’ the statement said, adding that the actions of the committee showed ‘a complete lack of respect for the wishes and rights of the deceased’s direct family.’

The family further explained that Daddy Lumba was legally married to Mrs. Akosua Serwah Fosu in Bornheim, Germany, on December 23, 2004, and remained married to her until his death.

Citing Section 1306 of the German Civil Code (BGB), they emphasised that German law strictly prohibits bigamy, making any claims of a second marriage ‘false, misleading, and legally void.’

The family also revealed that questions remain about the exact cause of the musician’s death, noting that investigations are still ongoing.

In light of the controversy and alleged lack of communication, the ‘direct family’ has sought a court injunction to suspend the funeral and burial until proper dialogue and consensus are reached among all parties.

Addressing the late singer’s fans and the public, the family expressed gratitude for the outpouring of love and support, urging them to disregard unofficial funeral announcements.

‘We assure the public that a respectful and dignified farewell will be given to our beloved Charles Kwadwo Fosu – one befitting his legacy and the love he shared with millions through his music,’ the statement concluded.

Mahama Unveils Sweeping Public Service Reforms

President John Dramani Mahama has unveiled a far-reaching reform agenda aimed at transforming Ghana’s public service into a transparent, accountable, and performance-driven institution.

Speaking at the 12th Annual Conference of Chairpersons of Governing Boards and Councils, Chief Directors, and Chief Executives of the Public Services of Ghana in Accra, President Mahama described the reforms as a bold and necessary step toward building an efficient and citizen-centered public sector.

He noted that the transformation of the public service is central to his government’s broader vision of ensuring effective service delivery and restoring public confidence in state institutions.

‘We are determined to build a public service that truly serves the people, one that is professional, efficient, and responsive to the needs of citizens, this is not merely an administrative reform; it is a transformation of mindset and culture.’

He expressed deep concern over recurring inefficiencies and irregularities within the public payroll system, especially the persistent challenge of ‘ghost names’ that continue to drain the national purse.

To address this long-standing issue, he directed that all public service institutions whether subvented or not be fully integrated into the Human Resource Management Information System (HRMIS).

The President said the HRMIS will serve as the single authoritative source of personnel data across the public sector, creating a unified and transparent platform for effective human resource management.

‘With the HRMIS as the central database, we will eliminate data inconsistencies and ensure that every public servant on the payroll is duly verified,’ he stated. ‘This is a crucial step in cleaning up the system and improving fiscal discipline.’

The move, he emphasised, will strengthen accountability and promote better planning, coordination, and monitoring of the public workforce.

President Mahama also lamented on the prevailing culture in which hardworking and non-performing public servants are rewarded equally, describing it as ‘a deterrent to innovation and excellence.’

He noted that ‘all over the world, reward is tied to performance but here, the lazy one gets the same as the hardworking one, which kills motivation and productivity.’

To change this, the President announced the introduction of a Pay-for-Performance and Productivity Framework, developed collaboratively by the Ministry of Finance, the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission, and the Public Service Commission.

The framework, scheduled to be piloted in January 2026, will link public sector rewards directly to measurable performance outcomes.

The policy aims to institutionalise a results-oriented culture that motivates employees, promotes accountability, and enhances public service delivery.

‘This framework will ensure that those who go the extra mile are recognised and rewarded, while those who fail to meet expectations are encouraged to improve,’ he disclosed.

President Mahama further stressed that reforming the public sector goes beyond systems and structures but requires ethical leadership and a renewed commitment to public service values.

He called on all heads of institutions to lead by example and champion integrity, professionalism, and innovation within their respective agencies.

Stakeholders at the conference commended the initiative as timely and necessary for addressing long-standing inefficiencies and restoring discipline and integrity in the public service.

They noted that if fully implemented, the reforms could mark a turning point in Ghana’s public administration by streamlining personnel management, curbing waste, and fostering a culture of productivity aligned with the nation’s development goals.

At Last Truce In Palestine

When the Ambassador of the State of Palestine to Ghana, Abdulfattah A.K. Al Sattari paid a courtesy call on Western Publications, publishers of the Daily Guide on Wednesday, he called for peace and de-occupation of his motherland.

A day after the visit, the world woke up to the exciting news about negotiators reaching an agreement towards the restoration of peace in Palestine as part of a 21-point journey.

The visit and the call by the envoy was by all standards auspicious; it was a prayer come true.

The consistent bombardment of Palestine attracted the attention of the world as evidenced by the global demonstrations against what has been described by experts as genocide. No war in recent times has attracted such a magnitude of opprobrium.

The world showed an unusual solidarity with the oppressed people of Palestine.

Some have said that it goes beyond what happened during the holocaust.

Ghana stood on the side of history by stating unambiguously its stand against the killing of mostly women and children.

The massacre of over 60,000 unarmed women and children and the stoppage of the entry of food trucks into the occupied land constituted a crime.

This being the first phase of the agreement which entails the exchange of captives by both sides, Israel and Hamas, it is our wish that unlike other agreements this one would hold. Previous end of hostilities failed to hold.

Some might wonder why we should show interest in what is happening elsewhere in the world when we have our own challenges.

Scholars of international politics would demur because in a global village which the world is, happenings outside our borders have direct or indirect effects on us.

Israel and Palestine are both in the Middle East oil-endowed region whose geopolitics have a direct effect on the world supply and pricing of this energy source.

The Russo-Ukrainian war impacted negatively the economies of the world of which Ghana is a part.

The COVID-19 pandemic emanated from outside our borders, the effects of which visited us worryingly when it made a landfall here.

We cannot fold our arms as avoidable bloodletting goes on in other parts of the world such as the Middle East, especially to which our economy is tied directly and otherwise.

Although there are grey areas in the 21-point roadmap as presented by the US and accepted largely by the two belligerents as it were, it is our hope that Qatar, Egypt including Turkey and Israel will overcome the sticky areas which might rear their heads, especially in the area of total withdrawal of the occupier.

Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli Prime Minister, should respect the terms of the agreement and especially make the deal work.

Hamas’ agreement to extricate itself from the future government in Palestine should be underpinned in sincerity.

The eventual creation of a state of Palestine with defined borders and which would not threaten the security of Israel should be the final destination. It is possible if the power broker, the US and Israel herself put their hearts to it.

The war in Gaza was one which could have plunged the world into an avoidable world war.

The CA Project Hosts Quiz At Redeemer Preparatory and JHS

The CA Project, has successfully held an inter-house Constitutional Literacy Quiz at the Redeemer Preparatory and JHS at Pig Farm in Accra.

The event, organised in collaboration with the National Centre for Civic Education (NCCE), Alicia Global, and National Alliance of Ghana Law Students on October 8, 2025, brought together students, teachers, volunteers and civic educators who facilitated an engaging and inspiring competition among students.

The event was aimed at deepening the students understanding of Ghana’s 1992 Constitution and promoted civic education among the young learners.

The Constitutional Literacy Quiz was also an event to access and evaluate The CA Project’s Constitutional Literacy awareness programme across the country.

The atmosphere was charged with excitement as the students demonstrated impressive knowledge of constitutional principles such as their rights, the role of the NCCE, sources of law in Ghana, the role of Parliament and Citizens. After the contest, the Obeng Dapaah House emerged as the overall winner and was awarded a cash prize of GHS1,000 for their exceptional performance.

Speaking after the programme the founder and director of The CA Foundation, Celestine Addo, emphasised the importance of nurturing constitutional literacy from a young age which will serve as a foundation for responsible citizenship and encourage active democratic participation.

She stated that, ‘If we hope to have responsible citizens in the near future who will be committed, fully participate in governance and uphold the good principles of democratic governance in Ghana, then these young ones should be our darling.’

Director for NCCE for the Greater Accra Region, Mawuli Agbenu expressed joy stating that, ‘within a short period of time that The CA Project commenced its activities by adopting Redeemer Preparatory and JHS in conducting constitutional literacy education and donating the 1992 Constitution to the school, I am happy to see progress on how these children have fully studied and gain full knowledge about their rights in the Constitution.’ He further called upon donors and sponsors to support the project as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).’

The CA Project is a flagship programme of The CA Foundation which is aimed at educating young ones in schools about the basic law of the land (‘Constitution’) by donating the 1992 Constitution of Ghana to schools, for students to have access to read and understand their basic rights and responsibilities as Ghanaians.

The CA Project is implemented through partnerships, sponsorships and volunteering from legal professionals and law students across the country.

EBL Foundation Engages Pupils On Financial Literacy, Ethical Leadership

THE EMPOWERING Better Life (EBL) Foundation recently visited Peduase Methodist Junior High School to educate pupils on financial literacy and ethical leadership.

The engaging session focused on cultivating good saving habits, empowering students to make informed decisions, and navigating life’s challenges.

The Founder of EBL Foundation, Lady Alma Pokuaa Adade-Prempeh, said the engagement taught pupils how to manage money effectively, save, and budget, setting them up for financial stability.

She said the selection of financial literacy is to equip children with the skills necessary to make informed financial decisions, reducing stress and anxiety.

‘Not everyone knows how to save, so we are trying to encourage them, educate them to learn the importance of money. Because if you’re not financially resilient, you find life difficult. It affects your mental health, among other things,’ she stressed.

Lady Alma, speaking on ethical leadership, said this plays a vital role in shaping children’s values, behaviours, and decision-making processes.

‘This knowledge will help children to develop a strong moral compass, promote kindness, social responsibility, and community involvement. By teaching ethical leadership, we empower children to become responsible, compassionate, and confident individuals, prepared to succeed in life and make a positive impact on the world,’ she added.

The EBL Foundation, as part of their corporate social responsibility (CSR) projects, donated a digital printing machine, a large white writing board for the school, and some goodie bags. The goodie bags contain sanitary pads for girls, hand sanitiser, refreshment, and learning materials.

According to Lady Alma, the sanitary kits were specifically provided to enable girls to manage their menstruation safely, hygienically, and with dignity.

‘These reusable pads will reduce the risk of infections, discomfort, and embarrassment. And I am urging my girls to keep at least one in their bags for emergency cases,’ she added.

The headmaster of the school, Mr. Joel Okine Darko, expressed gratitude to the EBL Foundation, pledging to ensure that items donated will be maintained and put to good use.

Fired Police Officer Convicted For False Pretences

A 54-year-old dismissed police officer, Kofi Boakye Frimpong, has been convicted by the Ashaiman District Court for pretending to be in active service.

The court, presided over by His Honour Derick Pardden Eshun, convicted him on his own plea of guilty to the charge of falsely pretending to be a public officer (police officer), the Ghana News Agency reported.

The convict is said to have pleaded with the court for leniency following his conviction.

The court, however, deferred his sentencing to October 14, 2025, and remanded him into custody pending his reappearance.

The prosecution’s brief facts presented by Inspector Henry Nartey Tetteh, said the complainants, police officers at Zenu-Attadeka MTTD, arrested the convict on September 17, 2025 and sent him to the police station.

It states that while at their duty point at the Zenu Star Fuel Station on the same day at about 9am, the complainants stopped Frimpong who was fully dressed in a tactical black long-sleeved police uniform with a chief inspector’s rank badge.

The prosecution indicated that the officers, suspecting that he might not be a police officer engaged him briefly in a conversation, stating that during the interaction, Frimpong suddenly jumped onto a motorbike and instructed the rider to speed off.

This heightened the police officers’ suspicion and they subsequently gave him a chase, resulting in his arrest.

The facts added that upon interrogation, it was established that Frimpong is a dismissed chief inspector who relocated to Ashaiman and was still wearing a police uniform and holding himself out as a police officer.

He was subsequently charged with the offence and dragged to court while the investigation continued.

QNET Names Bola Ray Ghana’s Representative

QNET, a global wellness and lifestyle company, has officially appointed renowned media personality, Nathan Kwabena Anokye Adisi, popularly known as Bola Ray, as its official representative in Ghana.

The announcement, made at a signing ceremony held yesterday in Accra, brought together QNET executives, business leaders, media professionals, and dignitaries from Ghana and abroad.

According to the company, the event marks QNET’s commitment to promoting transparency in its operations and highlights Ghana’s key role in the firm’s sub-Saharan Africa strategy.

Speaking at the event, QNET Deputy Chairman Biram Fall said the company is focused on empowering individuals through entrepreneurship and ethical business practices, while taking concrete steps to build trust and transparency in Ghana.

He noted that, in recent months, QNET has opened a compliance office in Accra and partnered with the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) to combat scams and misuse of its brand.

Mr. Fall described Bola Ray as an ideal ambassador for QNET, commending his integrity, influence, and commitment to youth empowerment.

‘Bola Ray’s voice and credibility in the community will help us build awareness, restore trust, and educate the public about who we are and what we stand for,’ he said.

In his remarks, Bola Ray expressed pride in his new role, affirming his dedication to upholding QNET’s values and helping to address fraudulent schemes that have tarnished the company’s image in the country.

‘QNET is not a travel agency, scholarship provider, or investment scheme. Scammers have exploited the brand to defraud Ghanaians, and we’re here to put an end to that. A fraudulent company would not boldly establish a physical office and partner with key security agencies.

This shows QNET is a credible organisation focused on wellness, lifestyle, and empowerment,’ he noted.

He added that the opening of QNET’s physical compliance office in East Legon represents a major milestone in building legitimacy and transparency.

He pledged to leverage his experience in media and stakeholder engagement to promote ethical entrepreneurship and support public education efforts.

‘This partnership is about more than business; it’s about impact,’ Bola Ray stated. ‘Together, we can fight misinformation, create opportunities for our youth, and foster a thriving, ethical direct selling environment in Ghana,’ he stressed.

The company also announced plans to roll out community outreach programmes, youth entrepreneurship initiatives, and media engagements.

It further encouraged Ghanaians to remain vigilant, report suspicious activities, and verify any QNET-related communications through the company’s official website.
