This Saturday's edition of JoyNews' Newsfile, we bring you an in-depth analysis of the biggest stories making headlines. in Ghana.
First, Newsfile will dissect the chaos that erupted during the vetting of government’s nominated ministers by the Appointments Committee.
A dramatic stand-off between the Majority and Minority led to the destruction of tables and microphones, forcing the intervention of the police to restore order. At the heart of the dispute was the Majority’s insistence on extending the session beyond 10 PM, a move the Minority vehemently opposed.
After nearly 30 minutes of heated exchanges, Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga and other key figures stepped in to calm tempers. What does this incident reveal about the growing tensions in Parliament, and how will it affect the approval process for the new ministers?
The analysis programme would also discuss the Attorney-General’s decision to withdraw charges in several high-profile financial cases.
Former Second Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr. Johnson Pandit Asiama, who had been standing trial for his alleged role in the collapse of UniBank and UT Bank, has now been cleared of all charges.
Additionally, former COCOBOD CEO, Dr. Stephen Opuni, has also seen legal proceedings against him discontinued. In the high-profile ambulance procurement case, the Attorney-General has dropped charges against Minority Leader Cassiel Ato Forson and businessman Richard Jakpa.
What prompted these sudden acquittals, and what are the legal and political implications?
Finally, Newsfile will be discussing the growing threats against JoyNews’ journalist Erastus Asare Donkor. What do these threats mean for press freedom, and what actions are being taken to ensure the safety of journalists in the country?
