Two stories that dominated this week were stories about the Britain referendum and a story about the Nkwanta South DCE. Alfred Kofi Wukanye was complaining about a recently commissioned Dodo Pepeso-Nkwanta road described by President John Mahama as "one of the best quality roads" in Ghana.
On Monday came a story about the 2016 Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Akufo-Addo saying his party would establish a factory in each of the 216 districts in the country if elected President.
After criticisms from some political parties the Communications Director, Nana Akomea told Joy FM two or three districts could be combined for one factory if it is established that they share the same raw material.

Also, OccupyGhana, an anti-corruption institution said the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) suffered from a leadership vacuum that is likely to affect its ability to act effectively and decisively on investigations into the Ford Expedition gift saga.
A panel of judges chaired by Chief Justice Georgina Wood, on Thursday, chided the Electoral Commission (EC) and ordered it to produce the names of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) carders on the electoral roll by June 29. The judges also ordered the Commission to produce a detailed plan on how it will delete those names from the roll and have them reregistered.
Also the story about the nature of the Dodo Pepeso -Nkwanta road made headlines on Thursday.
