This Saturday's edition of JoyNews' Newsfile will delve into two critical national conversations.

First, the analysis programme will examine the credibility of the provisional voter's register following the National Democratic Congress (NDC) call for an audit of the register over alleged discrepancies.

However, the Electoral Commission has refused to grant an audit describing the call as 'unnecessary'.

But can we say they have legitimate grounds for this demand? Is our democracy at risk if these concerns are not addressed?

Then, we turn to the conversations about the fight against illegal mining widely known as galamsey.

Despite numerous efforts, the menace persists, threatening the environment and the economy.

Is the mobilisation of security forces and regional ministers enough to halt this existential threat as the call for a total ban and for a state of emergency to be declared over the country's water bodies and forest reserves increases?

Stay with Newsfile to find answers to these questions and more as the panel of experts and stakeholders dissect these important matters.

Newsfile will be aired live on the JoyNews channel on digital satellite channels 421 on DSTV and 144 on GoTV. It will also be streamed on JoyNews’ Facebook or YouTube channels from 9 am to noon.

Viewers can also follow the discussions by tuning into Joy 99.7 FM or Luv 99.5 FM on the radio or stream the discussion live on either Google or Apple Podcasts.
