As a rule, I do not comment on the work of other journalists. I try not to criticize their views on life or national debates either. It’s a small community, and, we often are on one side, trying to hold the powerful accountable and keep citizens informed. We do so much with so little under … Continue reading
George Lutterodt popularly known as Counselor Lutterodt needs to crawl back into whichever hole he came out of. We know, like many of his peers in the motivation industry, policing women’s choices under the guise of counselling is more profitable than most 12-hour day jobs. But unlike his peers, Lutterodt has not had the good … Continue reading
I was not expecting to be impressed by the ministerial nominee for Gender, Children and Social Protection. I was still annoyed with her for refusing to condemn Kennedy Agyapong when he accused the Electoral Commissioner, Charlotte Osei of trading sex for her position. Sexist, misogynistic and distasteful comments, and the Women’s Organiser of the NPP, … Continue reading
No one is genuinely shocked by the MP for Bawku Central, Mahama Ayariga’s bribery allegations. We have long suspected MPs of bribery since the former MP for Asikuma-Odoben-Brakwa, PC Appiah Ofori revealed that the Vodafone deal was only approved after the executive paid MPs off.

This was my prayer on January 6, 2016. It was my fervent prayer that we could get rid of him … Continue reading
Alas! It did not happen. The much expected showdown between former Attorney General, Martin Amidu and businessman Alfred Woyome at the Supreme Court on Thursday, November 24, 2016 did not come off as scheduled. As Mr. Amidu predicted, Woyome who was screaming his readiness to face him in court applied for a review of the … Continue reading
Under bright neon lights and with great fanfare on Monday, President Mahama cut the tape to inaugurate the Kwame Nkrumah Circle interchange. There has been nothing but self-praise from the government and party supporters. The president himself declared the evening “this is a day the Lord has made.” The government has apparently transformed the area … Continue reading
It’s so easy to get lost in the unhappy haze created by the long and painful journey to election 2016. There is all the unnecessary drama created by the Electoral Commission’s disqualification of some candidates from the presidential race and its refusal to yield to reason and common sense. Then there is the back and … Continue reading
Of all the things one expected to hear announced at the Ghana Institute of Journalism’s matriculation, a ban on mini skirts and shorts was not on the list.
