Vice President Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang has highlighted the ongoing reforms in Ghana’s fisheries sector, stating that the government is working toward a more coordinated and sustainable approach to managing aquatic resources.

Speaking after a visit to the Ministry of Fisheries and Aquaculture Development, she noted that the ministry outlined the roles of its key agencies, including the Fisheries Commission and the National Premix Fuel Secretariat, as well as plans to establish a Blue Economy Commission.

“These institutional reforms show government’s commitment to sustainability,” she said, pointing to recent developments such as the passage of a new Fisheries and Aquaculture Act and increased aquaculture production targets.

She also referenced stronger enforcement against illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, including patrols, vessel suspensions and the establishment of Ghana’s first Marine Protected Area.

According to her, these measures are important for restoring fish stocks and supporting long-term growth.

The Vice President further called attention to environmental threats affecting the sector.

“We must add value across the fisheries value chain and tackle challenges such as galamsey, plastic pollution and toxic waste,” she said.

Commending the ministry’s leadership, she urged continued collaboration across government. “We must meet the challenges head-on, build a legacy of sustainability, and ensure that those who work on our waters can thrive,” she added.

Brigadier General (Rtd) Joseph Nunoo-Mensah has expressed deep concern about the state of the world, saying global violence and moral decline trouble him more than his own old age.

Speaking on The KSM Show monitored by MyNewsGh, the former National Security Advisor to late President John Evans Atta Mills said he has reached a point of personal peace but feels worried about the world younger generations are inheriting.

“I am almost 90 years old. My life is coming to an end, whether I like it or not,” he said. “But what worries me is those I am leaving behind. How are they going to cope with this mad world?”

Nunoo-Mensah said recent global conflicts show how dangerous the world has become. He cited violence in Gaza, Lebanon, and other parts of the world as signs of rising instability.

“The world I came to meet was not like this,” he said. “Today, the world is very nasty. Very, very nasty.”

Despite these concerns, the retired general said he has found peace within himself. He recalled a moment when he slept deeply for hours and felt completely calm.

“I told myself, if death is like this, then I want to die now,” he said. “I was so much at peace with myself.”

However, he stressed that his calm does not erase his worries about the future, especially for young people growing up in a violent and confused world.

Prophet Appiah Biblical has alleged that financial investigations involving jailed evangelist Nana Agradaa were already underway before her conviction, citing questions raised over large money transfers linked to her operations.

Appiah Biblical claimed the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) summoned Agradaa after she moved GHc7 million into an account belonging to her general manager, identified as Kudos. He said Kudos was also questioned as part of the inquiry.

According to Appiah Biblical, the GHC7 million transfer was only one of several transactions that drew the attention of investigators.

“There was a lot of money in question. The GH₵7 million was just one transfer from one account to another,” he alleged Speaking on Angel TV on December 21, 2025,

Agradaa is currently serving a 15-year jail term at the Nsawam Female Prison following her conviction by an Accra Circuit Court on July 3, 2025.

Rapper Sarkodie has recounted a startling experience with what he described as a “weed biscuit” during a trip to the United States.

Speaking on Hitz FM, the award-winning musician revealed how an unexpected encounter with marijuana affected one of his performances.

“I got to my hotel and they had a hamper for me. I had no idea what was inside. It had drinks, biscuits and everything,”

Sarkodie explained. “I took bites of the biscuits when I was hungry, not knowing it had marijuana. I have never taken marijuana before.”

The rapper added that fellow performer Angel, who was with him at the time, had finished his portion and came for more of the biscuit, amplifying the situation.

“That’s the worst performance I’ve ever had, because in my head all the songs sounded slow,” Sarkodie admitted, reflecting on how the unexpected effect disrupted his show.

Evidently, Obidi suggested that the experience taught him to be more cautious about unfamiliar food and drink during tours abroad.

On Tuesday, governance analyst Austin Kwabena Brako-Powers challenged recommendations from the Constitution Review Committee that suggest extending the presidential term.

Speaking on TV3’s Big Issue, he argued that Ghana’s recent administrations have not demonstrated enough developmental progress to justify altering the tenure of office.

“We’ve had back-to-back governments by the NPP and the NDC. What have been the developmental outcomes?” he asked.

Brako-Powers highlighted ongoing structural deficits in sanitation, urban planning, energy reliability, education, healthcare, and industrialisation.

He stressed that extending the term would postpone public accountability without addressing foundational issues.

“If a government is prepared and focused, four years is sufficient to show direction and deliver results,” he added.

Brako-Powers also questioned the data underpinning the constitutional proposal, urging that reforms must be grounded in empirical evidence relevant to Ghana’s political context.

“This proposal does not reflect the aspirations of Ghanaians. It is a political proposition,” he noted, emphasizing the need for governance achievements before extending executive mandates.

Abu Trica has made his first public appearance since his arrest a few days ago.

The Ghanaian socialite was brought before the Gbese District Court in Accra on December 23, 2025, under tight security following his arrest over an alleged multi-million-dollar romance fraud scheme.

Abu Trica, who also bears other names like Frederick Kumi and Emmanuel Kojo Baah Obeng, is accused of playing a central role in an online operation that allegedly defrauded elderly victims in the United States of about $8 million.

The case has drawn international attention due to the scale of the alleged fraud and the direct involvement of U.S. law enforcement.

His arrest on December 11, 2025, followed coordinated action between Ghanaian security agencies and the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Prosecutors in the United States say the alleged scheme relied on deceptive online relationships used to extract large sums of money from vulnerable individuals.

A federal grand jury in the Northern District of Ohio has indicted Kumi on charges of wire fraud and money laundering, accusing him of orchestrating the scheme since 2023.

He is expected to face further legal proceedings in relation to the U.S. indictment.

Ghanaian artiste Kelvyn Boy has recounted a frightening near-death experience after narrowly escaping a road accident at the back of the Center Point Mall, an incident that left him with a fractured ankle.

In a post shared on social media, the singer said the incident occurred a few days ago when a driver reversing suddenly lost control and headed straight towards him while he was on the sidewalk.

“A few days ago, God saved me from what would have been the most tragic news all year for me and my people,” Kelvyn Boy wrote as sighted by MyNewsGh.

According to him, the situation could have ended far worse if not for the quick reaction of members of his team who spotted the danger in time.

“A driver reversing lost control heading for me at the sidewalk of the very back of Center Point Mall,” he said, adding, “God saved me through 2 of my guys who saw it fast and reacted quick enough.”

Despite escaping death, the accident was not without injury. The artiste revealed that he sustained a fractured ankle as a result of the incident.

“But the accident left me with a fractured ankle. Give thanks for life still,” he noted.

Kelvyn Boy also used the opportunity to apologise to promoters and fans following his absence from some scheduled shows due to the injury.

“To promoters, who’s shows I’ve missed, my sincerest apologies to you and most importantly the fans,” he said.

He encouraged event organisers to work closely with his management to reschedule missed performances.

“Kindly coordinate w management to fix new dates,” he stated.

Looking ahead, the singer expressed determination to honour upcoming shows before the end of the year, even if it means performing under difficult circumstances.

“And to the few ones ahead before end of year. I’m racing against time, I’ll be there (with Crutches if need be) to rave,” he assured. “Nothings gon stop us now!”

Kelvyn Boy ended his message with a reminder on the value of life and the need for gratitude.

“Stay safe, always be thankful for life,” he added.

Vice President Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang has shared a Christmas message calling on Ghanaians to reflect on compassion, unity and service to the nation as the country continues its reset and rebuilding efforts.

In a festive message released to mark the Christmas season, the Vice President said the period should serve as a reminder of the deeper values associated with the birth of Christ, urging citizens to look beyond celebration and extend support to those in need.

“May this sacred season remind us of the profound gifts of hope, peace, love, and compassion that the Saviour brought to humanity,” she said.

She encouraged Ghanaians to make kindness and generosity central to their celebrations, especially towards vulnerable members of society.

“In this spirit, let us reach out to the vulnerable, share with those in need, and extend kindness to one another,” the Vice President stated.

Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang also linked the message of Christmas to national development, stressing that the values of harmony and service are essential as Ghana works towards progress.

“As we continue the important work of resetting and building the Ghana we all want, may the light of Christmas inspire us to greater service, harmony, and progress,” she said.

She concluded the message by wishing Ghanaians well for the festive season and the year ahead, signing off with a warm greeting: “Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.”

Former Chief Executive of NEIP, Kofi Ofosu Nkansah, has noted that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has always been favoured when they are in power.

In a Facebook post reacting to the soaring gold prices, he explained that anytime the NDC is in office, they do not face any global crisis.

Rather, they enjoy growth in the global economy.

However, due to their incompetence, they fail to deliver to the people of Ghana as they leave the country in shambles.

His post shared via social media read, “NDC always gets more favour and no global crisis when they come into powe,r but they still end their tenures with gross incompetence, as we saw in 2000 and 2016 with serious Economic hardships.

Oil prices record low now, Gold prices record high. Let’s see how they will end it this time”.
