President to appoint EC Chair within 24 hrs - Deputy AG

Deputy Attorney General has hinted that President Akufo Addo would confirm the appointment of Jean Mensah as EC Chairperson within the next 24 hours.

He gave the hint in an interview with the press after the Supreme Court refused an application for interlocutory injunction filed by Fafali Nyonator, the private citizen challenging the removal of Charlotte Osei as EC Boss.

There are indications that the Council of State has approved the nominations forwarded by the President.

Godfred Yeboah Dame says the Court's decision clears  the way for the appointment and the President would act accordingly.

Sandy and Gibeleen's task; Improving sickle cell care

Two sisters Sandy Ayivor and Gibeleen Amponsah Ninpong are hoping to change the face of sickle cell care in the country within five years. This they hope to do through their GNS (Gibeleen & Sandy) Foundation. Ghana’s foremost sickle cell clinic is a one block facility comparable to the ones used as clinics in villages. The most worrying aspect is that the same facility is supposed to be the Ghana Institute of Clinical Genetics. The Institute is supposed to be the leading center for diagnosis and care for persons suffering from genetic conditions or ones inherited. Even though the Institute has some of the best brains in clinical genetics running and working in the facility, they have been reduced to providing only sickle cell care. A former Director of the Institute Dr. Edeghonghon Olayemi says the GNS Foundation first contacted the clinic and demanded to know the challenges of the company. He revealed that a list of the challenges confronting the ...

SC to determine fate of "unexecuted" but "ratified" US-Ghana agreement

Barely three days after its ratification under controversial circumstances, the Defense Cooperation agreement between the Governments of the United States and Ghana is facing its first constitutional test. The agreement is the subject is a suit filed by Ashanti Regional Youth organizer of the National Democratic Congress Yaw Brogya Gyamfi.

Article 75(2) which gives Parliament the authority to ratify agreements entered into by the executive reads; A treaty, agreement or convention executed by...

Anger; new income tax measure takes toll on Judges salary

Anger is brewing in the judiciary over the impact of mid-year tax measures on the salaries of judges. It would be recalled that government announced a 35 percent tax on persons earning over 10,000 cedis as part of measures to rake in more revenue. Even though the move has been hailed as forward looking, Gold News understands it is affecting the living conditions of judges. Article 127(5) of the 1992 Constitution states; “The salary, allowances, privileges and rights in respect of leave of absence, gratuity, pension and other conditions of service of a Justice of the superior court or any judicial officer or other person exercising judicial power, shall not be varied to his disadvantage.” This constitutional provision, I am made to understand imposes an obligation on government to ensure that its policies do not unduly negatively affect the living conditions of judges but that seems not to be the case at this time. Information I have gathered indicates  some judges ar...
