Chief Digital Officer of MTN Ghana, Ibrahim Misto, has stressed the need for Africa to reclaim its digital destiny by redefining its digital identity and breaking free from decades of dependence on external technological systems and frameworks.

Speaking at the Mobex Africa Tech Innovation Conference and Awards 2025, he urged African nations to take decisive control of their digital infrastructure, data, and innovation, insisting that the continent’s future prosperity hinges on building a self-reliant, secure, and authentically African digital ecosystem.

‘Africa’s digital identity must be authentic, secure, and sovereign. The time has come for us to reshape our digital future-one that is entirely African in character, secure in its foundation, and sovereign in its ownership,’ he stated.

Ibrahim Misto revealed that MTN Ghana has already invested over $1 billion into the country’s digital infrastructure over the past five years, with an additional $214 million slated for 2025 to expand its 4G and 5G networks.

He emphasised that these investments are not just about improving connectivity but about laying the groundwork for a secure, inclusive, and prosperous digital economy for the entire continent.

Mr. Misto stressed that Africa’s digital solutions must be homegrown, reflecting the continent’s unique cultures, languages, and aspirations.

He also shared the success of MTN’s AI and UI electronics hackathons, which have provided young developers and students with a platform to co-create the digital future of Africa.

He indicated that security must not be an afterthought but a critical, foundational aspect of Africa’s digital future, requiring local expertise and robust national awareness campaigns to safeguard the continent’s digital infrastructure.

In support of the call for digital self-determination, Chief Executive Officer of MOBEX Africa, George Spencer Quaye, emphasised that real transformation lies not just in technological advancement but in solving African problems in African ways.

He stressed the importance of ensuring no one is left behind and measuring success by the lives changed.

Celebrating a decade of achievements, he noted that MOBEX Africa has connected thousands of young Africans to opportunities, bridged innovators with investors, and supported policy reforms such as mobile money interoperability.

However, he cautioned that the next decade demands acceleration, not celebration.

Like many Ghanaians, including colleagues in the media fraternity, and the family and friends of the late Ahmed Suale, I can’t help but ask: was it all for politics?

This is not what we were promised. The Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, must offer further clarification on the recent discontinuance of the murder case involving the late journalist.

It appears that nolle prosequi is increasingly being used as a tool-or even a license-for injustice. The Attorney General must, therefore, exercise moderation and utmost caution when withdrawing cases of public interest, particularly those involving journalists, as the media is widely regarded as the fourth estate of government.

As a concerned citizen of Ghana, I find it deeply troubling that the government appears to be on a spree of truncating cases of national importance, allowing suspected criminals to walk free. Such actions risk tarnishing the image of our justice system and eroding public trust and confidence in national security and accountability.

While the motives behind the Attorney General’s decision to discontinue investigations and prosecutions in the murder of investigative journalist Ahmed Suale remain unclear, this development seems to embolden crime and endanger the lives of journalists who risk everything to uncover the truth.

This is not a call for the Attorney General to prosecute innocent individuals. However, the recent discontinuance of the case, which allows a prime suspect to go, sets a dangerous precedent. The Attorney General must rise above political considerations and ensure that justice is done, not merely seen to be done.

Regrettably, could it be that karma and reality have now caught up with the new government-one that, while in opposition during the 2024 electioneering campaign, promised to pursue justice for Ahmed Suale and others?

Then-candidate, and now President John Dramani Mahama pledged to the nation his commitment to investigate and prosecute perpetrators of heinous crimes, including Suale’s murder and other corruption-related offences.

So, what has changed? The filing of nolle prosequi in court to end criminal cases without trial undermines the principles of fair hearing and judicial independence. It weakens the very foundations of Ghana’s criminal justice system and raises serious concerns about political interference in the administration of justice.

The Attorney General’s decision to enter nolle prosequi in the Ahmed Suale case is not only an indictment of President Mahama’s much-touted ‘judiciary resetting’ agenda, but it also signals the dangerous normalisation of a ‘commit crime, wait a while, and walk free’ culture.

Perhaps the Attorney General should be reminded of this statement by then-presidential candidate John Dramani Mahama during his campaign in Ahmed Suale’s hometown:

‘I want to draw your attention to something. This is the hometown of Ahmed Suale, the journalist who was murdered in cold blood and whose killers have still not faced justice. I want to assure the people of this constituency and the family that when I’m elected, I will use all the powers available to the state to find and prosecute those who killed him.’

What has happened to that solemn promise, Mr. President? Was it merely political rhetoric to win votes? The Attorney General’s decision to withdraw this murder case feels nothing short of a betrayal, of public trust, of justice, and of the principles of press freedom.

The immediate family, friends, the good people of Wulensi, and colleagues of the late Ahmed Suale continue to grapple with the traumatic pain caused by his untimely death.

They had placed their hopes in President Mahama following his solemn promise to seek justice. However, as the saying goes, justice delayed is justice denied. We continue to pursue justice for our colleague, and the Attorney General must act decisively to ensure justice for our brother.

Journalism is not a crime. As journalists, we set national agenda that promote development, expose corruption, and hold duty bearers accountable. We give voice to the voiceless and shed light on the struggles of the marginalised. Why then should the pursuit of truth make us targets of hatred or victims of violence?

Ghana must not allow nolle prosequi to become a convenient escape route for justice. The lives of journalists, and indeed, the integrity of our justice system, depend on it.

It is surprising that the learned Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, a man who has for years been known as an advocate for human rights and press freedom, would take an action that undermines the very foundation of journalism in this country. Such a move is deeply troubling and must not be tolerated in any form.

This development should serve as a wake-up call to all duty bearers, including the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA), the Private Newspapers and Online News Publishers Association of Ghana (PRINPAG), the Ghana Independent Broadcasters Association (GIBA), the Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA), and other media allies. It is imperative that they urgently unite and demand that the Attorney General reopen the murder case of the late Ahmed Suale.

Sixty-three Members of Parliament (MPs) of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) have officially declared their unwavering support for former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to become the party’s next flagbearer, describing him as the embodiment of the NPP’s enduring values of vision, unity, and service.

Addressing the media in Parliament yesterday, the lawmakers said their declaration was rooted in conviction rather than sentiment, emphasising Dr. Bawumia’s record of discipline, humility, and delivery.

‘From his days as a brilliant economist at the Bank of Ghana to his service as Vice President, Dr. Bawumia has proven that leadership is not about words but work, not about entitlement but excellence and delivery,’ the MP for Mampong, Kwaku Ampratwum-Sarpong, who serves as the Coordinator of the DMB MPs in Parliament, read the statement.

The MPs lauded Dr. Bawumia’s leadership qualities, citing his role in driving Ghana’s digital transformation, promoting financial inclusion, and modernising public service delivery.

According to them, his work reflects the legacy of the NPP’s founding fathers – Danquah, Busia, and Dombo – whose principles of freedom, democracy, and development through enterprise continue to guide the party.

‘He represents the enduring spirit of our Party: visionary, resilient, diligent, and pragmatic. Dr. Bawumia has brought clarity to governance, inspired innovation, and built systems that work,’ the group stated.

For the MPs, the Vice President is best positioned to lead the NPP into the 2028 general election and secure the trust of Ghanaians.

‘We believe that Dr. Bawumia embodies the next chapter of the NPP’s vision, a future built on competence, innovation, unity, and hope,’ the MPs added.

The MPs also appealed to NPP delegates across the country to rally behind Dr. Bawumia, arguing that he represents both continuity and renewal within the party.

‘Let us reward loyalty, humility, and hard work with trust. Let us renew the NPP tradition with a leader who has walked the path, carried the burden, and delivered results,’ they urged.

They described the former Vice President as the candidate capable of uniting the NPP, winning the confidence of the electorate, and leading Ghana into a new era of progress and opportunity.

‘Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is our choice, the people’s choice, the Party’s strength, and Ghana’s future. He carries Danquah’s courage, Busia’s intellect, and Dombo’s humility and unifying heart,’ they said.

The MPs called for unity and faith in the Vice President’s leadership, noting, ‘The torch has been lit and the vision is clear. For God and Country, for Party and Progress, we stand with Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.’

Twenty-one (21) foreign nationals, all believed to be from Burkina Faso, have been arrested by the Amansie West District Security Council (DISEC) for engaging in illegal mining on river bodies at Esaase Bontefufuo in the Ashanti Region.

The suspects were apprehended in the early hours of Wednesday, October 22, 2025, during a special intelligence-led operation conducted by the District Police Command and the Formed Police Unit (FPU) under the command of ASP Solomon Adusei Berko.

Confirming the incident, ASP Berko said the operation followed credible intelligence about the activities of foreign nationals involved in galamsey operations that were causing massive environmental degradation in the area.

‘We moved in swiftly and arrested twenty-one Burkinabes who were actively mining on river bodies. Several tools and mining equipment were retrieved from the scene,’ ASP Berko stated.

He described the extent of destruction as alarming, noting that the illegal activities had led to the contamination of major water sources, the destruction of farmlands, and the depletion of vegetation cover in the community.

ASP Berko warned that the police would not relent in their efforts to clamp down on illegal mining operations, and assured residents of sustained security patrols in the area.

The District Chief Executive for Amansie West and Chairman of DISEC, Prince Manu Morris, lauded the swift response of the security forces and reiterated the Assembly’s determination to stamp out illegal mining in the district.

‘Illegal mining continues to destroy our environment and threaten the survival of our communities. Whether Ghanaian or foreign, anyone found engaging in such activities will face the full rigours of the law,’ he cautioned.

Mr. Morris also revealed that DISEC will intensify surveillance in collaboration with the Ghana Police Service, National Intelligence Bureau (NIB), and the Ghana Immigration Service to prevent further incursions by illegal miners.

He further appealed to residents to assist security agencies by promptly reporting suspicious activities, to help protect the district’s natural resources.

Cherise Asher Ayisi, Ghana’s representative for the Miss Earth 2025 pageant, has received her first gold medal after earning the top position during the Darling of the Press session of the competition.

She was keenly followed by Miss Belize, who occupied the second position, earning a silver medal, while Miss Australia earned bronze at the end of the segment.

Following Cherise’s win, many Ghanaians have taken to social media to commend her for stealing the show with her elegance and eloquence.

Cherise is competing with over 70 contestants for the Miss Earth title. The pageant, which advocates for environmental awareness, conservation, and social responsibility, will take place on November 5, 2025, at the Okada Manila in Parañaque, Metro Manila, Philippines.

This year’s event, themed ‘Silver Linings,’ marks the 25th edition as well as silver anniversary of the Miss Earth pageant.

Discussion of the event will be centred on issues and policies concerning the environment. The delegates will be showcasing unique skills and abilities as well as their fashion sense.

There will be the anticipated National Costume display to celebrate cultural heritage, and interacting with the online community.

The pageant features contestants from various countries, including new debutants like Uzbekistan. Some contestants have already begun their journey, participating in activities like a symbolic tree planting ceremony and a presentation of delegates in Filipiniana-inspired ensembles.

Ghanaian singer and songwriter, Black Sherif, has disclosed that rapper Kwesi Arthur stands as an inspiration to his music craft.

Black Sherif made this revelation on X after a fan named Cyrus asked the ‘First and Second Sermon’ hitmaker which acts inspire him in the music industry.

The post read, ‘@um_cyrus, @blacksherif_ which musician inspires you the most.’ Black Sherif, in response, wrote, ‘Kwesi Arthur.’

Black Sherif, on several occasions, has publicly expressed admiration and love for Kwesi Arthur, stating, ‘I love Kwesi Arthur so much, I wish he knew’. This gesture has sparked mixed reactions from fans, with some appreciating Black Sherif’s sentiment and others wondering about his motives.

Rumours has it that following Black Sherif’s breakthrough in the music scene, he has overshadowed Kwesi Arthur. The two are said to have collaborated on music projects, including a song that was leaked but never officially released due to differences in their opinions about the track’s quality.

News about the death of former First Lady, Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings, wife of late former President Flt. Jerry John Rawlings, made the rounds yesterday morning as a rumour.

Many were hesitant in spreading the rumour of the former First Lady’s passing as they were not trusting social media when it comes to such matters.

But when they eventually received confirmation, it spread like wildfire in a scorched forest.

Information gathered so far indicates that she passed on at the Greater Accra Regional Hospital at Ridge, aged 76.

She joins her husband who died on November 12, 2020, 20 days away from the anniversary of his transition.

She carved an image of a strong woman during the revolution led by her husband and when he metamorphosed into a civilian president.

In the course of her husband’s new role as leader of a military junta, she made herself relevant through assortment of feminine empowerment engagements such as the 31st December Women’s Movement et al.

Political History

Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings was born on November 17, 1948 and became the First Lady from June 4, 1979 to September 24, 1979 and from December 31, 1981 to January 7, 2001.

Her political ambition drove her to become the first female to vie for the position of President in 2016, when she formed a political party – the National Democratic Party (NDP). She won 0.16% of the votes cast in the 2020 general election.

She had fallen out with the political party her husband founded, the NDC, not enthused with the management of the party when her husband took leave of its activities.

Her book, ‘It Takes A Woman,’ published in 2018, added to her growing political stature in the affairs of politics in Ghana.

She was elected First Vice Chairperson of the NDC in 2009 and later in 2011.

Her attempt at becoming the flagbearer of the NDC in 2012 against Prof. JEA Mills failed.

Her no-love-lost relationship with the NDC until she took her last breath is household knowledge in the political space of the country.

‘My desire is to see the emancipation of women at every level of development to enable them to contribute and benefit from the socio-economic and political progress of the country.Women’s vital role of promoting peace in the family, the country and the world at large must be acknowledged. And to do this, they must be empowered politically to equip them adequately for the challenges of critically identifying and assessing solutions for the betterment of society,’ a release from her during her heydays sums up the goal of the 31st December Women’s Movement of which she was president.

Her movement is credited with setting up more than 870 pre-schools in Ghana, besides giving impetus to early child development.

Her work in women’s development and empowerment, she is reported to have said, would not end even with the exit of her husband from the presidency.

Her role in the adoption of an ‘Intestate Succession Law,’ which is applicable to the survivors of anyone dying without a will, is widely acknowledged in the country.

Biography

She was born in Cape Coast, Central Region of Ghana to J. O. T. Agyeman and his wife, having attended the prestigious Ghana International School from where she proceeded to Achimota School where as fate would have it, she met her future spouse.

At the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, she studied Art and Textiles.

She is credited with designing the NDC logo of an eagle sitting on an umbrella.

The political activism in her was manifest when she became a student leader of her hall of residence, Africa Hall, at the university.

She pursued various courses after her university education, one of them being a diploma course in Interior Design at the London College of Arts, the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration and the John Hopkins University in the US.

Nana Konadu married the Ghana Air Force officer Jerry John Rawlings in 1977, a union which was blessed with their first child, Zanetor in 1978. She also bore Yaa Asantewaa, Amina and Kimathi.

She would be remembered by her unique headgear style and the signature beret of the 31st December Women’s Movement.

Tributes Pour In

Several high-profile figures have expressed condolences to the family of the late Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings following her passing.

President John Mahama, following the departure of Nana Konadu, paid a solemn tribute before the swearing-in ceremony of 37 newly appointed High Court judges at the Jubilee House yesterday.

The President stated, ‘This afternoon, I received a delegation of the children of our late mother, Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings, to inform me about her untimely and unfortunate passing. As we rise and pay a moment of silence to her memory, may the Almighty God grant her a peaceful rest in His bosom. Thank you. Amen.’

Swiss Ambassador to Ghana, Simone Giger, paid tribute on social media, saying, ‘Deeply saddened by the passing of former First Lady Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings. A woman I’ve admired for her determination and dedication to women’s rights. A trailblazer, an inspiration, and a person I’ve been honoured to call a friend. My thoughts are with her family.’

THE PUBLIC Relations Department of the Ghana Police Service led by Director Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Grace Ansah-Akrofi paid a courtesy visit to management of the Daily Guide Network, operators of the Daily Guide newspaper, Guide Radio 91.5 and DGN television.

ACP Ansah-Akrofi, in her remarks, acknowledged the role of the Daily Guide newspaper in publishing stories about the Ghana Police and craved for a sustained cooperation between the internal security organisation and the Daily Guide Network.

She observed that there are people who erroneously think the Police Service belongs to personnel of the Service only and not the citizens whose security the organisation is mandated to ensure.

It is important to protect public confidence in the Police Service, as not doing so can impact negatively on security in the country, she said, adding that all should support the internal security organisation to serve citizens.

Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Daily Guide Network, Kwame Blay, on his part, welcomed the police entourage as he appreciated the words of commendation for the support his outfit is rendering the police.

He called on the Police Service Public Relations Directorate to share contents to the Daily Guide Network’s television to educate the public on security issues.

‘I see what the police show on their Police TV, which is very interesting. We have a relationship through which you would share with us the Police Television contents so we can share with our wider audience,’ he said.

Chief News Editor, Alhaji A.R. Gomda, on his part, called on the Police Service to organise seminars so reporters can specialise on security reporting.

‘There are a lot of journalists who report on matters relating to the Police but lack adequate knowledge of the security service. I suggest that you organise periodic training programmes for such journalists to improve upon their knowledge of the operations of the Service,’ he said.

He also commended the police for decentralising information dissemination, which has facilitated sourcing of news by the media.

Editor of the Daily Guide newspaper, Jamila Akweley Okertchiri, also informed the police public relations team of the newly introduced ‘Crime Stoppers Page’ dedicated to reporting on crime related stories in the weekend newspaper.

She urged the team to contribute some safety tips to be featured on the page to better inform readers.

Guide Radio and DGN presenter, Abena Soreno Yankyera, lamented the increasing cases of misinformation on the part of journalists due to lack of prompt response by the Police Service.

She urged the Service to be prompt in their news briefings on crime-related occurrences in the country to reduce misinformation.

Deputy Minister of Finance, Thomas Nyarko Ampem, has called on stakeholders in the procurement sector to fully adopt the Public Electronic Procurement System (GHANEPS) in order to help uphold fiscal discipline.

Speaking at the 11th Public Procurement forum in Accra yesterday, the Deputy Minister said the continued reform of Ghana’s procurement system is important to ensuring effective public procurement processes.

He indicated that next year would mark three decades since the country first embarked on comprehensive public procurement reforms noting that the enactment of the Public Procurement Act 2003 (Act 663) and subsequent amendments, including those in 2016 and 2025, laid the legal foundation for a transparent, fair, and accountable procurement system.

‘These reforms are not merely legislative changes, they represent a fundamental re-engineering of processes, anchored in digital transformation, through the Ghana Electronic Procurement System (GHANEPS).’

He also stated that public procurement is not only meant for administrative purposes but a strategic tool that shapes government spending and drives the country’s economic growth.

According to the Minister, Public procurement accounts for between 13 to 20 percent of Ghana’s GDP, with over 40 percent of the country’s total domestic revenue for 2025 expected to pass through the procurement system.

That, he explained, highlights the importance of ensuring that procurement processes are conducted with the highest standards of transparency and accountability.

He further expressed the government commitment to integrating procurement systems and ensuring compliance with established frameworks to prevent leakages and ensure that every cedi spent serves its intended public purpose.

Chief Executive Officer of the Public Procurement Authority (PPA), Frank Mantey, for his part said electronic procurement is useful in addressing corruption and improving efficiency in public procurement.

He cited the example of South Korea where e-procurement has over the years supported the growth of Small Medium enterprises (SMEs)

The PPA boss also added that ‘Incorporating e-procurement into Ghana’s procurement landscape will allow us to keep pace with global trends and reap the benefits of digital transformation.’

Broadcast journalist, Nana Aba Anamoah, has described the ongoing scandal involving former CEO of Buffer Stock Company, Abdul-Wahab Hanan, who allegedly stole GHS78 million, as ‘monstrous’.

The outspoken journalist, on X (formerly Twitter), posted flier of alleged properties acquired with the proceeds of crime by the former CEO with the caption, ‘Greed is a fat demon with a small mouth, and whatever you feed it is never enough. Greedy monster!’

Nana Aba’s reactions follow an earlier revelation made by the Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, of freezing assets of the former Buffer Stock CEO and his wife, Faiza Seidu Wuni, following alleged financial misconducts and acquisition of high-value properties using public funds.

The Minister for Justice further disclosed that investigators have frozen a fixed deposit account belonging to Mr. Hanan at Republic Bank’s Labone Branch in Accra, containing GHS10 million.

He said steps are also underway to confiscate several vehicles and over 61 luxury handbags linked to the couple as part of ongoing investigations.

Dr. Ayine said between 2017 and 2024, the former Buffer Stock CEO in concert with Richard Sam Asante and Bismark Owusu Boakye allegedly orchestrated and transferred GHS78,269,084.04 from the bank account of Buffer Stock Company to a private company linked to him, his wife and staff of Buffer Stock Company at Republic Bank and Ecobank.

Dr. Ayine indicated that they also made suspicious transfers amounting to GHS40.5 million through Sawtina Enterprise, a company allegedly linked to the former Buffer Stock CEO.

They also traced some properties suspected to have been acquired illegally by him, including a five-bedroom house at Chain Homes, valued at $1.625 million; a three-bedroom house at Cantonments, purchased for $600,000; multiple plots of land at Airport Development Area, worth $750,000 among others.

Comments under her post witnessed varied views from followers, Onipa Nua wrote, ‘Nana, how do we conclude in believing this art work when the person in question hasn’t even been to court or given the chance to make his point. The Attorney General is doing too much of talking than working in my view.’

David Nkansa Anto added, ‘Pls be mindful of how you comment about ongoing court cases. Innocent until proven guilty by a court of law.’

Richwes added, ‘I usually don’t blame them, not at all. The whole system is faulty and needs a complete overhaul. Why would a real estate company and bank accept such huge sums of money in cash/cheque from a public servant without some kinda red flag? It can be stopped at the source.’

Meanwhile, Mr. Hanan has denied all the allegations of corruption levelled against him, describing the claims as ‘untrue and deeply unfortunate.’

In a statement released after the Attorney General’s address, Mr. Hanan said he had never been involved in the matters referred to by the Attorney General, and has instructed his lawyers to take steps to safeguard his reputation.
