A five-year-old girl, Elizabeth, has died at Mim in the Asunafo North Municipality of the Ahafo Region following an alleged domestic violence incident involving her parents. According to eyewitnesses, during a heated argument between the parents, the father allegedly grabbed the child by the neck, slapped her several times and threw her towards her mother. The mother reportedly dodged, causing Elizabeth to fall heavily to the ground and sustain severe injuries, including severe bleeding from her nose and mouth. [📸: GHOne TV]

In 2017, the British High Commission banned four Ghanaian legislators, three sitting MPs and one former MP, from entering the UK for abusing the privileges of their diplomatic passports. In one case, an MP reportedly used his diplomatic passport to take a woman he presented as his wife to the UK. She never returned. The Foreign Affairs Minister at the time, Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey, called for the law to be amended. Her point was simple: the discretion in the law created room for abuse. The law is the Passports and Travel Certificates Decree, 1967 (NLCD 155). In 1993, PNDCL 310 introduced a provision allowing the Minister to issue a diplomatic passport to any “prominent citizen or high public official” who, in the opinion of Government, needed one. The provision on service passports, which the law calls special passports, is even broader. They can be issued to any public officer or other citizen travelling on official government business. Almost a decade later, we are back here. The Foreign Ministry has confirmed that 10 people bought service passports from a syndicate within the passport system in 2023 and 2026. Two officers have been interdicted and referred to the police. The Minority, meanwhile, alleges that about 300 people travelled on bought diplomatic and service passports. So, what happened to the proposed changes to the law? The Ministry’s own statement a few days ago still cites the 1967 decree, as amended in 1993. Nothing has changed since then. Meanwhile, the numbers have grown. According to the Foreign Affairs Ministry, Ghana issued 2,899 diplomatic passports between 2009 and 2016, 5,682 between 2017 and 2024, and 1,944 from 2025 to date. That is more than 10,000 diplomatic passports since 2009, in addition to over 5,300 service passports. Even as investigations into the serious allegations raised by the Minority continue, are we going to learn the lessons and implement reforms that meaningfully address the risks, or will this become another episode of political football in Putogum Hwiegum?

See the hypocrisy! These same people would condemn and rain curses on MoMo fraudsters, yet they’re now asking the President to intervene simply because they aren’t the victims of the alleged fraud. So, fraud is only wrong when it affects you?

President Mahama attacks @JoyNewsOnTV journalist for advocating for accountability and transparency over the South Africa evacuation scandal.

Foreign Affairs ministry is literally a crime scene. All these are happening right in front of Hon. Okudzeto Ablakwa. My goodness! A whole ORAL chairman involved in this ugly scandal. This is ridiculous! 🤦‍♂

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has interdicted the Acting Director of Passports, Mahama Yahaya Amantana, and a junior Foreign Service Officer, Alhassan Sumani, over an alleged illegal Service Passport sales scheme operating since 2023. The Ministry says preliminary investigations uncovered 10 Service Passports allegedly issued to unqualified individuals in exchange for payments of US$5,000 and US$29,000. The passports have since been cancelled, and the two officers referred to the Ghana Police Service for further investigations and possible prosecution. It has also clarified that the case concerns Service Passports, not Diplomatic Passports.

I’ve been following the conversation about data prices and I think all we need to do is look at what Ghanaians were paying before @samgeorgegh ’s intervention in July 2025 and what changed afterwards. Let’s start with MTN. Before: GH₵350 bought you 92.88GB. After: GH₵399 bought you 214GB. Before, 1GB cost approximately GH₵3.77. Afterwards, it cost GH₵1.86 on that package. That’s a reduction of about 51% in the cost per GB. Next let’s look at Telecel. Before: GH₵400 bought you 190GB. After: The same GH₵400 bought you 250GB. That’s 60GB more without paying an extra pesewa. AT Before: GH₵400 bought you 190GB. After: The same GH₵400 bought you 236GB. That’s another 46GB for the same money. Across existing bundles, MTN increased data allocations by 15%, while Telecel and AT increased theirs by 10%. So even if your budget was GH₵10, the intervention meant you received more data for your money. If someone says data is still expensive, I agree. More gigabytes won’t magically increase anybody’s salary but if the argument is that nothing has changed, the figures tell a different story. There’s a difference between saying a minister hasn’t solved a problem and saying he hasn’t done anything about it. When it’s time to hate, let’s hate 😂 but let’s not allow our feelings to defeat basic mathematics. Ghana must work!

“Hon. Sam George should have investigated before making those remarks. A lieutenant is not a mere officer, and he should understand what it takes to attain that rank and the possibility that the operation was authorised from above.” — Physical Training Instructor Twumasi Barimah, popularly known as Commander General, has criticised Sam George over his confrontation with military officers at Afienya.
