GIS Boss Calls for Probe into Bus Purchases


The Controller-General of the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS), Kwame Asuah Takyiwaa (Esq), has called on the Minister for Interior, Hon. Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak, to establish an investigative body to probe the procurement of 20 new 30-seater buses for the Service. Speaking during the Minister’s maiden visit to the GIS Headquarters in Accra, he expressed concerns over allegations of misconduct surrounding the purchase.

According to Takyiwaa, some officers have raised suspicions of mismanagement and personal gain in the acquisition process, with certain media outlets also questioning the integrity of the deal. He emphasized the importance of clearing the air, stating that an independent investigation would protect the reputation of the Controller-General’s office and the Service as a whole.

Beyond the call for an inquiry, the Controller-General lauded the significant progress GIS has made over the years, including improvements in infrastructure, accommodation for officers, and manpower development. He highlighted the establishment of a tactical training school and the construction of housing units in Kumasi as part of the Service’s modernization efforts.

Takyiwaa reaffirmed GIS’s commitment to national security and migration management, stressing that the Service’s newly launched 2023–2029 strategic plan aims to enhance border management, counter-terrorism efforts, and resource optimization. He expressed confidence that under the leadership of Hon. Muntaka, GIS would continue advancing its operational efficiency and collaboration with the Ministry of Interior.

Royal Jamong Family Raises Alarm Over Alleged Political Interference in Bunkpurugu Chieftaincy Dispute

Image
The Royal Jamong Family of Bunkpurugu has expressed deep concern over what it describes as political interference by Vice President Dr. Mahamud Bawumia and the NPP parliamentary candidate for Bunkpurugu, Mr. Solomon N. Boar, in the ongoing chieftaincy dispute surrounding the Bunkpurugu skin. In a strongly-worded statement, the family accused the two politicians of exerting undue pressure on the National House of Chiefs, a move that they believe undermines the integrity of the chieftaincy institution. The family pointed to recent comments made by Abuba, who claimed that his uncle, Vice President Bawumia, had promised to ensure that a pending judgment in the chieftaincy case would be delayed indefinitely. This, the Royal Jamong Family warned, is a "sad development and a recipe for disaster." The family has also documented Mr. Boar's activities, including a recent trip to Accra with Abuba to meet the Vice President. This has led the family to question the motivations behind ...

Superior Prophet Michael Opoku Calls for Unity After Court Victory

The African Faith Tabernacle Church has emerged victorious in a protracted legal battle over its leadership. Superior Prophet Michael Opoku Nkansah, the successor of the late Superior Prophet David Nkansah II and head of the church worldwide, addressed a press conference to announce the landmark ruling by the Adenta High Court. The conflict began nearly three years ago when Prophet Michael Opoku Nkansah was appointed as the church’s Superior Prophet following the passing of his predecessor. His appointment, in accordance with the church’s constitution, was challenged by a faction within the church who opposed his installation. This group filed a series of legal actions, including an application to restrain him from performing his duties and a contempt motion against him and eight other chief pastors. In a decisive ruling on January 17, 2024, the Adenta High Court dismissed both the injunction and the contempt application. The case reached its climax on December 10, 2024, when the court...

Dr. Nathaniel Acolatse, a Deputy Chief Physician Assistant at Ga West Municipal Hospital, is challenging the Tema TDC Court to make public the court order his former wife, Maria Fianyo, claimed to have received. According to Maria, the judge at the Tema TDC Court instructed her to take custody of their children and warned her not to allow Dr. Acolatse any access to them. Dr. Acolatse questions the legitimacy of this order and dares the court to release the unedited Social Enquiry Report. "I challenge the Tema TDC Court to make public the supposed court order Maria Fianyo claims to have received, instructing her to take the children and barring me from seeing them," Dr. Acolatse stated. "I also demand that the court release the full, unedited Social Enquiry Report. The issue revolves around a decent apartment where my children were happily staying versus an uncompleted building where Maria was residing—a choice that the Tema TDC Court inexplicably preferred." Dr. Aco...
