Council of state looks like anorexic institution without power – Afari-Gyan
A former Chairman of the Electoral Commission (EC), Dr. Kwadwo Afari-Gyan, has voiced his concerns about what he perceives as the ineffectiveness of the Council of State. He likened the Council's current state to that of an “anorexic institution without power” and emphasised that despite having the authority to advise every public institution in Ghana, its current operations make it seem powerless. Dr. Afari-Gyan, drawing from his experience at the EC, highlighted that the Council of State receives briefings from public institutions and provides them with advice. However, he expressed the need for the Council to adopt a more transparent approach to showcase its impact. “We will all agree that the Council of State has an imposing name, but the way it has so far gone about its work has made it look like an anorexic institution without power, yet apart from the president, the Council has power to advise every public institution in Ghana,” Dr. Afari-Gyan stated. He suggested that the Council should periodically release…

‘Majority of the youth will be jobless if we ban mining’ – National House of Chiefs president
Ogyeahoho Yaw Gyebi II, President of the National House of Chiefs, has expressed concerns over recent calls for an immediate ban on all mining activities in the country. Well-meaning Ghanaians, Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), traditional leaders, and labor unions have mounted pressure on the government to impose a ban on mining to mitigate the harm done to the country’s water bodies. This comes in response to Ghana Water Limited’s distress calls announcing its inability to supply adequate water to some parts of the Central Region due to the pollution of the Pra River. However, in response to these calls, Ogyeahoho Yaw Gyebi II, according to a report by citinewsroom.com, stated that a ban on mining isn’t the appropriate measure as he believes it would render many youths engaged in responsible mining unemployed, despite his strong opposition to illegal mining. “You all know I am against galamsey, and I will continue to fight against it, but that should not prevent Ghanaians from engaging in mining activities.…
