Opinion: The evidence before High Court continues to expose weakness of the Republic’s case against Wontumi

What is wrong with us: The future did not fail us. We failed the future
One of the most comforting stories societies tell themselves is that history simply happens to them. It is an attractive belief because it suggests that today's difficulties are little more than the lingering shadows of yesterday's mistakes. It allows nations to see themselves primarily as victims of circumstances inhe...
The Law 101: Vacation warrants and the role of the CJ (Part IV)
Remarks by His Lordship the Chief Justice at the congress of the Senior Staff Association of the Judicial Service of Ghana must bring firm clarity to one issue in the ongoing, rather needless, legal vacation debate.

Ghana’s highest offices must belong to those with undivided national allegiance
A passport is more than a travel document. It is a covenant between a citizen and a nation. It carries rights, responsibilities, and an oath of allegiance. That is why the debate over dual citizenship is not simply about remittances, investment, or global mobility. It is about one fundamental question: Should those ent...
Canada hunts criminal tourists while Ghana looks away
They arrive with smiles, passports, and seemingly innocent intentions.

From invisible to influential : Why Africans must take personal branding seriously
When I published my first novel nearly three decades ago, I did not know I was building a personal brand. At the time, I was simply a young Ghanaian writer with a passion for storytelling. Like many young Africans, I believed that hard work, talent, and education would naturally attract recognition and opportunities. O...
My Discovery of the Year: AMA has a charge to keep
Last Saturday, I came face-to-face with a discovery that left me in awe and disgust. A big disappointment with the city authorities.
Tony Asare Writes: The cost of silence
I have a paternal cousin who makes leather stuff; belts, slippers, etc., in Kumasi. A calm gentleman. On a calm Saturday, I dropped him off at a town called Bobiem in the Bosome-Freho District. He was heading to a funeral of one of his school friends who allegedly died of mercury inhalation. It struck me […]
Faith or Finance? Why Ghana’s tithe system must be urgently reviewed
When the pulpit begins to sound like a payment counter, and worship feels like a financial obligation, something has gone fundamentally wrong. Across Ghana, a growing number of church members are no longer whispering their concerns; they are boldly asking, “Has tithe become a tool of faith, or a burden of control?” The...
When Julius wept and the code went on sabbatical
And it came to pass that when Julius Debrah drew near unto the matter, he beheld it, and was troubled in spirit. And Julius wept. But before the tears found their way to the public square, the apology had already taken its seat—calm, composed, and carefully dressed for the occasion. Now, in the Republic of […]
