NPP accuses the Mahama administration of turning state institutions into tools to harass opposition members.
The party raises alarms over violations of Article 14, which guarantees bail for arrested or detained persons.
NPP accuses the Mahama administration of turning state institutions into tools to harass opposition members.
The opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has accused the John Mahama administration of using state institutions to harass and intimidate its members, describing it as a deliberate campaign to stifle political dissent.
Lawyer Justin Frimpong Kodua
At a press conference in Accra, NPP General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong expressed deep concern over what he called increasing political interference in security agencies and parts of the judiciary. He argued that institutions meant to operate independently have instead been turned into “political weapons” to silence critics and suppress opposition voices.
“The party has held demonstrations and numerous press conferences reminding President Mahama and his government that we are a nation governed by the rule of law,” Mr. Kodua said.
He added that despite repeated appeals for restraint, the government has ignored calls for fairness, with Ghana’s democracy reportedly being “slowly poisoned by the abuse of power.”
Mr. Kodua also raised alarms over violations of constitutional rights, particularly Article 14 of the 1992 Constitution, which guarantees bail for persons arrested or detained. He said it is “increasingly concerning that state security agencies continue to flout the Constitution with impunity.”
Despite what the NPP sees as targeted actions against its members, the General Secretary affirmed that the party will not be intimidated and remains committed to pursuing justice and accountability.
“Unfortunately, all our calls are falling on deaf ears, but as a party, we shall not back down on our resolve to fight this injustice,” he emphasized.

The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has secured a decisive legal victory in London after an international arbitration tribunal dismissed all claims brought against it by Power Distribution Services Ghana Limited (PDS).
The ruling, delivered after nearly three years of proceedings, ends a long-running dispute over the controversial termination of the PDS concession agreement, a deal that was once touted as a major step toward reforming Ghana’s power distribution sector.
Background
In 2019, PDS took over the management of ECG under a 20-year concession agreement, which was part of the Millennium Challenge Compact (MCC) programme between the Government of Ghana and the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) of the United States.
The agreement was intended to bring private-sector efficiency into ECG’s operations and improve electricity distribution across the country. However, just months into the arrangement, the Government of Ghana, through ECG, suspended and later terminated the contract.
The termination followed revelations that the payment guarantees provided by PDS—through Al Koot Insurance and Reinsurance Company of Qatar—were fraudulent.
Government Policy Updates
These guarantees were a key requirement of the deal, designed to secure PDS’s financial obligations under the concession.
Despite assurances from PDS that it had fulfilled all preconditions for the transfer, investigations revealed that Al Koot had not authorised the guarantees in question. Subsequent court rulings in Qatar, including from the Qatari Court of Cassation, confirmed that the documents were indeed forged.
The Legal Battle
Following the termination, PDS initiated arbitration proceedings in London, claiming ECG’s actions were wrongful. The company sought a declaration of wrongful termination, direct costs of about US$39.4 million, and alleged lost profits of US$351.5 million.
ECG, represented by Omnia Strategy LLP, led by Cherie Blair KC, robustly defended the case, maintaining that the termination was fully justified and in the national interest. ECG argued that PDS had failed to exercise due diligence in verifying the authenticity of the payment guarantees—an omission that fundamentally undermined the concession.
The Tribunal’s Decision
After years of legal submissions and hearings, the London-seated tribunal dismissed all of PDS’s claims in their entirety. The tribunal upheld ECG’s position that the fraudulent guarantees went to the heart of the concession and justified its termination of the agreement.
Significance of the Ruling
The ruling is a major win for ECG and the Government of Ghana, shielding the state from potential financial liability amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars. It also brings closure to one of the most contentious chapters in Ghana’s recent energy sector history.
With this victory, ECG is now positioned to move forward and focus on improving power distribution for Ghanaians without the shadow of the PDS dispute.Source:Citi NewsroombyCiti
The partners of the Eat Ghana Rice Campaign are appealing to all Ghanaian citizens, institutions, and corporate bodies to urgently turn to the consumption of domestically produced Ghana Rice to help resolve the immediate crisis of rice glut and safeguard the livelihoods of our dedicated farmers.
Media reports over the last week have highlighted a deeply concerning situation: an estimated 1.3 million metric tonnes of paddy rice are currently stalled, unsold, and stored in warehouses across the country due to a lack of buyers. This significant glut threatens to cause catastrophic losses for millions of Ghanaian farmers who have worked tirelessly to achieve record harvests.
A file picture
We sincerely appreciate the intervention efforts currently being made by the government and the National Food Buffer Stock Company (NAFCO) to purchase excess stock. However, these governmental efforts alone cannot solve the problem. While we support these efforts by the government to mop up the glut, we call on Ghanaians to join the efforts and play our individual roles in helping tackle the challenge. Since 2019, the Eat Ghana Rice Campaign has been emphasising that the main sustainable and definitive solution lies in a collective, fundamental shift in our national consumption habits. The simple act of choosing Ghana Rice over imported ones will reduce the glut and empower our agricultural sector for the long term.
We understand that for years, the primary barrier to purchasing Ghana Rice was the lingering perception of inferior quality and concerns about the presence of stones and foreign materials. We are here to declare that this perception is outdated and inaccurate. The Ghana Rice value chain has undergone a dramatic, technological revolution. Millers have invested heavily in state-of-the-art dehusking, grading, polishing, and color sorting equipment.
Our leading brands are now meticulously processed using sophisticated machinery to ensure a clean, consumer-ready grain, in conformity with Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) and Ghana Standards Authority (GSA) standards. Ghana Rice grains are now beautifully polished, consistent in size, and deliver the non-sticky, fluffy texture that is essential for perfect Jollof, Waakye, and Plain Rice dishes. Unlike imported rice that spends months in transit, Ghana Rice comes straight from our fields to your plate, retaining a fresh, unique aroma and flavour, and are healthier and more nutritious. Ghana Rice brands are also cheaper.
The statistics surrounding our consumption habits are stark and demand immediate action. The Ghana Statistical Service’s 2024 Trade Report indicates that despite the availability of high-quality Ghana Rice alternatives, rice accounted for 7.8% of our nation’s total food imports in 2024. In monetary terms, our country spent an astonishing GHS 3 Billion on rice importation last year. Every grain of imported rice purchased is a vote of confidence in foreign farmers and foreign economies.
Consuming Ghana Rice is a patriotic investment in the future of our food systems. It is the most direct way for every Ghanaian citizen, household, restaurant, hotel, and company to keep billions of Cedis circulating within the Ghanaian economy. It can also help ensure a stable currency and create more jobs for women and youth. It will additionally build our national resilience against global food price shocks and supply chain disruptions. We urge every Ghanaian to walk into the market or supermarket today and actively seek out Ghana Rice brands and purchase for the good of our dear Mother Ghana.

The Executive Chairman of KGL Group, Mr. Alex Apau Dadey is set to deliver an address on “Public Private Partnership: A case study of Responsible Corporate Citizenship” at a programme organized by the University of Ghana Alumni Association in collaboration with the University of Ghana.
The address is scheduled to take place on Thursday, 6th November 2025 at Great Hall at exactly 5pm. The Programme will be chaired by Prof. Nana Aba Appiah Amfo, the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ghana.
Mr. Alex Dadey is expected to share insights from his significant and extensive rich experience in the private sector, highlighting the international best practices and strategies to strengthen the working relationship between African governments, public institutions, agencies and the private sector particularly within the Ghanaian context and business environment.
Mr. Alex Dadey is anticipated to draw the comparisons between the progress and challenges of Public Private Partnership in Ghana, and the dynamic nature of the Public Private Partnership across Europe, United Kingdom, North America, Asia and the Middle East, offering perspectives and lessons that could potentially benefit Ghana.
As a respected and renowned global business leader, Mr. Dadey’s contributions to the subject matter of Public Private Partnership are expected to resonate widely, particularly in light of the challenges facing indigenous businesspersons in the Ghanaian business environment especially the unnecessary agenda to undermine the growth of Ghanaian businesses who have been championing responsible corporate citizenship including payments of taxes to Government as well as genuinely undertaking corporate social responsibility(CSR) and corporate social investment(CSI) activities across the country in support of government’s efforts to develop Ghana.
Mr. Alex Dadey strongly believe that, if government ensures the successful implementation of Article 36(2b & c) of the 1992 Constitution, it will lead to the strengthening of jobs and wealth creation in support of the Ghanaian economy as well as restore the greater participation of the private sector in the Ghanaian economy.
According to Article 36(2b & c), “the state shall, in particular, take all necessary steps to establish a sound and healthy economy whose underlying principles shall include affording ample opportunity for individuals initiative and creativity in economic activities and fostering an enabling environment for a pronounced role of the private sector in the economy; ensuring that individuals and the private sector bear their fair share of social and national responsibilities including responsibilities to contribute to the overall development of the Country”.
Mr. Alex Dadey over the years has proven beyond reasonable doubt that, Ghana can develop through a Public Private Partnership arrangements whereby governments are not supposed to bear the risks of investments but rather benefits from the PPP agreements.
The address by Mr. Alex Dadey on 6th November 2025 will serve as a call to action for African governments, business leaders, academia, policymakers, media, and the citizens to rally behind the concept of Public Private Partnership as one of the best model to develop Ghana and Africa especially PPP agreements just like NLA-KGL agreement whereby NLA bears no risks and no commitment of public funds to the project but only benefitting financially from the agreement with KGL.
KGL bears all the risks, liabilities, and losses yet obliged to pay NLA for just using the 5/90 lottery numbers drawn by NLA.
Mr. Alex Dadey was recently awarded by Forbes for being the Best in Africa for Corporate Leadership and Innovation.

Accra, Ghana
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CHAMBER OF AGRIBUSINESS GHANA CALLS FOR COMPREHENSIVE GRAIN CRISIS RESPONSE: 3-MONTH RICE IMPORT MORATORIUM, REPEAL OF L.I. 2432, AND STRATEGIC STATE INTERVENTION
Accra, Ghana – The Chamber of Agribusiness Ghana (CAG) today declares a national agricultural emergency following the alarming revelation that over 1.2 million metric tonnes of rice, maize, and soya beans remain stranded across Ghana’s agricultural heartlands. This paradoxical crisis of surplus amidst production deficits demands immediate, decisive government intervention to prevent the collapse of our domestic grains sector.
THE CURRENT MARKET CRISIS – PARADOX SURPLUS AMIDST DEFICIT
Data from our field operations confirms a devastating reality: while Ghana faces significant production shortfalls in key commodities, local harvests remain unsold due to critical market distortions and policy inconsistencies.
· Rice Sector Crisis: Ghana’s annual rice consumption is estimated at 1.9 million metric tonnes, with local production at approximately 900,000 metric tonnes. Despite a theoretical deficit requiring imports, field data confirms, almost two years’ worth of both milled and paddy rice remain unsold in warehouses and factories. Compounding this crisis are credible reports of smuggling and inflows of expired rice through unapproved routes, resulting in significant tax losses and further market distortion.
· Maize and Soya Bean Dynamics: For maize, Ghana’s annual consumption of 3.3 million metric tonnes exceeds local production of 2.5 million metric tonnes, creating a 700,000 metric tonnes shortfall. Meanwhile, soya bean production of 225,000–250,000 metric tonnes represents only 26%–36% of Ghana’s potential capacity of 700,000 metric tonnes, yet domestic demand exceeds 300,000 metric tonnes and continues growing.
POLICY INCONSISTENCIES AND UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES
The Export and Import (Restriction on Exportation of Soya Beans) Regulations, 2020 (L.I. 2432) has created severe market distortions despite its intention to ensure adequate local supply for poultry and aquaculture and industries:
· Price Collapse: Farm gate prices have plummeted from GH¢650 to GH¢400 per bag
· Warehouse Gridlock: Thousands of bags remain locked up in warehouses across the Northern Region and the Southern parts of the Country.
· Production Disincentives: Farmers are increasingly shifting to other crops due to market constraints
IMMEDIATE MEASURES TO RESOLVE THE CRISIS
To address this emergency, the Chamber of Agribusiness Ghana demands the following immediate actions
Implement a 3-Month Moratorium on Rice Imports
We urgently call for an immediate three-month ban on rice importation to clear existing local stockpiles, provide relief to farmers and millers, and enable essential market recalibration.
Remove Export Restrictions on Soya Beans (L.I. 2432)
We demand immediate repeal of L.I. 2432 to restore market prices, eliminate warehouse gridlock, encourage increased cultivation, and help Ghana realize its production potential of 700,000 MT annually.
Implement Comprehensive Audit and Quota System
We strongly recommend that, the Ministry of Trade Agribusiness and Industry, the National Security, Ghana Revenue Authority, Ghana Standards Authority and the Food and Drugs Authority immediately conduct an extensive audit of all rice on the market to validate tax compliance, check quality standards, and eradicate smuggled products.
STRATEGIC STATE INTERVENTION
Beyond immediate measures, we propose the government establish a Strategic Grain Reserve Procurement Program to
· Immediate Market Relief: Deploy state funds through the National Food Buffer Stock Company (NAFCO) to purchase surplus grains directly from farmers at sustainable prices
· Price Stabilization Mechanism: Create a national grain price stabilization fund to ensure predictable pricing for both farmers and grain-based industries
· ECOWAS Commitment Fulfillment: Utilize purchased grains to redeem Ghana’s commitments to regional food security initiatives, including the ECOWAS Regional Food Security Storage Strategy
· Industrial Input Security: Ensure stable, affordable grain supply to poultry, livestock, and food processing industries to boost domestic manufacturing
FRAMEWORK FOR LONG-TERM SECTOR GROWTH
The Chamber wish to propose a comprehensive framework for sectoral growth
· 5-Year Ghana Rice Production Strategy: Led by the Ministry of Food and Agriculture and Ministry of Trade and Industry, featuring a phased import quota system aligned with increasing local production capacity
· Quality and Infrastructure Enhancement: Research initiatives to improve local rice varieties matching consumer preferences, plus targeted investments in irrigation, mechanization, and processing capacity
· Private Sector Agro-Processing Development: Support establishment of more Agro-
processing industries to increase local processing capacity
· Long-Term Agriculture Development Policy: A comprehensive Agriculture for Economic Transformation policy to spur investment and coordinate government support
CONCLUSION
We must safeguard the investments of our local farmers and agribusinesses to build a food-secure and economically resilient Ghana. CAG believes decisive action on these recommendations will not only resolve the current grain glut but also reposition Ghana’s grains sector as a driver of sustainable growth and national resilience.

The Soya Value Chain Association of Ghana (SVCAG) is urgently calling on the Government of Ghana to lift the existing ban on the exportation of soybeans, which continues to threaten the livelihoods of thousands of farmers, aggregators, and processors across the country.
Background
Since the introduction of the Export and Import (Restrictions on Exportation of Grains) Regulations, 2022 (L.I. 2467), which replaced the Restrictions on Exportation of Soya Bean Regulations, 2020 (L.I. 2432), Ghana has imposed restrictions on the export of three key agricultural commodities — rice, maize, and soya. These commodities are vital to both human and animal nutrition, making their regulation crucial for national food security.
However, the SVCAG has consistently advocated for a more transparent and inclusive export permit system. The current committee responsible for granting export permits operates without adequate representation from key industry stakeholders, including the Association itself. This exclusion has led to inefficiencies, lack of consultation, and unintended economic consequences for local farmers.
Impact of the Ban
The export ban, first instituted in December 2024 and still in force as of October 2025, has caused severe market distortions:
Soybean prices have plummeted from GHS 1,200 per 100kg in October 2023 to GHS 500 per 100kg by October 2025, with the potential for further decline as the 2025 harvest progresses.
The sharp price drop has reduced farmer incomes, discouraging production and threatening the sustainability of soybean farming across the five northern regions of Ghana.
Soybean cultivation, a vital source of employment for youth and women, is now at risk, with many households facing declining earnings and rising economic uncertainty.
Additionally, while local processors initially supported export restrictions, many now face declining demand for processed soy meal due to cheap imports from the United States and direct bean imports by large, foreign-owned processing companies. These factors have undermined local value addition, creating an uneven playing field for Ghanaian agribusinesses.
Call to Action
The Soya Value Chain Association of Ghana strongly believes that the continued ban on soybean exports has outlived its purpose and is now counterproductive. The Association emphasizes that:
“This issue is no longer just about trade—it has become a matter of economic justice and human rights. Our farmers deserve fair access to markets and fair prices for their produce.”
The SVCAG therefore calls on the Government to:
Immediately lift the export ban on soybeans to stabilize prices and restore farmer confidence.
Reconstitute the export restriction committee to include representatives from the SVCAG and other key stakeholders for greater transparency and accountability.
Support local processors and farmers through fair trade policies and improved financing mechanisms.
As the nation prepares to celebrate Farmers’ Day, the most meaningful gesture the government can make to honor Ghanaian farmers is to lift the export ban and allow fair market participation.

How one visionary’s commitment to plant breeding education revolutionized seed systems and empowered a generation of African agricultural scientists
After an extraordinary 40-year career dedicated to uplifting African agriculture, Dr. Joe DeVries has retired, leaving behind a legacy that has fundamentally transformed the continent’s food security landscape and shaped the careers of countless agricultural professionals.
Dr. DeVries didn’t just work in African agriculture—he invested his life in it.
Dr. Joe DeVries
Through his unwavering support for training plant breeders across the continent, he became the architect of a movement that would empower Africa’s farmers for generations to come. His vision was simple yet profound: equip African scientists with world-class training, and they will solve Africa’s agricultural challenges from within.
The impact of Dr. DeVries’ work reverberates through laboratories, research stations, and agricultural institutions across Africa today.
Many of the continent’s leading plant breeders owe their careers to his vision and support. He championed advanced education, providing critical backing for both Master’s and PhD training programs that produced a new generation of highly skilled agricultural scientists.
These weren’t just scholarships—they were investments in Africa’s future. Dr. DeVries understood that sustainable agricultural transformation required homegrown expertise, and he dedicated himself to making that vision a reality through strategic support for educational institutions that would become pillars of agricultural research and innovation.
Beyond education, Dr. DeVries played an instrumental role in establishing numerous seed companies throughout West Africa.
He recognized that improved seed varieties meant little without robust distribution systems to get them into farmers’ hands. His support helped catalyze the growth of the private seed sector in a region where it had barely existed.
While it’s true that many of these seed companies have not yet reached their full potential, the responsibility lies not with Dr. DeVries’ vision or support, but rather with the evolution of business management within these enterprises. The foundation he helped build remains solid; the companies’ trajectories will depend on the commitment and capability of their current leadership.
As Dr. DeVries returns to his home state of Florida, he leaves behind far more than memories—he leaves institutions, trained professionals, and a transformed agricultural landscape. His work has touched every corner of Africa’s agricultural sector, from the researchers developing drought-resistant crop varieties to the seed entrepreneurs bringing innovations to smallholder farmers.
The ripple effects of his four decades of service will continue for generations. The plant breeders he mentored are now training the next generation. The institutions he supported continue their vital work. The seed companies he helped establish are still serving farmers across West Africa.
Dr. DeVries embodied the best kind of development work: not imposing solutions from outside, but empowering Africans to solve their own challenges. His legacy is measured not in projects completed, but in lives changed, careers launched, and a continent better equipped to feed itself.
To Dr. Joe DeVries: mentor, friend, and champion of African agriculture—thank you. Your indelible marks on this continent will endure long after your well-deserved retirement.Source: Legacy Farms Tv
The President of the Republic of Ghana, Mr. John Dramani Mahama; the King of the Asante Kingdom, His Royal Highness Otumfuo Osei Tutu II; and other stakeholders have been urged to urgently intervene to ensure peace, fairness in the determination of all shareholders, and legitimacy of the properties in the Yeboah Afihene Industries Limited.
The passionate appeal was made by Mr. Kofi Sarfo Afihene, aka Kwabena Sarfo, who described himself as the newly appointed acting managing director of Yeboah Afihene Industries Limited, a private liability company in the Ashanti regional capital, Kumasi. He said he was making the appeal for and on behalf of the current majority shareholders of the company.
Mr. Kofi Sarfo Afihene made the appeal at a press briefing at Atwima-Techiman in the Atwima Kwawoma district on Tuesday, 21st October, 2025.He accused the Kumasi Metropolitan Chief Executive (MCE), Mr. Kwasi Ofori Agyemang, aka King Zuba, of allegedly supporting Mr. Kwame Assuama Yeboah Afihene, among others, to deny them access to their stores.Against the background, they decided to make a special appeal to President Mahama and Otumfuo Osei Tutu II to personally intervene to ensure a fair resolution to the matter.
Mr. Kofi Sarfo Afihene, aka Kwabena Sarfo
This appeal, he said, has been necessitated because the mayor of Kumasi allegedly used operatives believed to be ‘machomen’ to lock their stores with the Assembly’s padlock, denying them access in support of Mr. Kwame Assuama Yeboah
Afihene..However, when Mr. Kwasi Ofori Agyemang, aka King Zuba, was contacted for his side of the story, he vehemently denied using machomen to lock the stores.
President John Mahama
He was quick to explain that “it is true that two stores or shops were locked by the Metro Estate Officer aimed at ensuring peace devoid of bloodshed. King Zuba explained that the Metro Security Council Chairperson’s first priority is to ensure peace and a safe environment for the growth of businesses. He wouldn’t sit down unconcerned to allow bloodshed at the said premises where his accusers allegedly brought in machomen. “I won’t supervise bloodshed in the Metro. I had to deploy military and National Security personnel to the scene, and as a result two persons were arrested and cautioned. “I didn’t engage machomen,” he added.The Kumasi mayor said,
Otumfuo Osei Tutu II,Asantehene
“I want peace to reign. It is something that we have started working on, and if they can give us a little time, we shall surely bring closer or finality to the matter.I’m convinced to bring the brother and sister together and cut off the others, who are not part of the family and want to reap where they have not sown!King Zuba continues, “They (complaints) should just give us some time to resolve the problem. I don’t have any interest.
Mr. Kwasi Ofori Agyemang, aka King Zuba
I used the military and national security personnel because I will not do anything deliberate to displease anyone, but I want to ensure peace.” The mayor further explained that he doesn’t take hasty decisions in any matter. The security personnel arrested two (2) people who were injected by the court, and the Estate Officer of KMA was asked to lock the two shops.
However, later on, some of them came to plead, and the shops were reopened for them, not that they had a legitimate right to access the place. As we speak now, some of the national security personnel are still around to ensure sanity prevails,” he narrated.
Meanwhile, Mr. Kwame Assuama Yeboah Afihene, who maintained he is the rightful managing director of the company, and his legal team have vehemently denied the accusations by the claimants of majority shareholders.In an interaction with media during and after a meeting with the Kumasi mayor, they rubbished the claims by Mr. Kofi Sarfo Afihene and his group.
Mr. Kwane. Assuma Yeboah said he was not ready to talk much about the matter but rather preferred his lawyers to address the issue.A member of his legal team, Lawyer Kwamina Mensah also maintained their client was innocent of the accusations.Besides, Lawyer Kwamina Mensah
is expected to make a statement to reaffirm their client innocent as already indicated.. Anytime it is made available,it would be shared with our readers.stay turned!
