In the words of a former Minister of Education and celebrated playwright, Dr Ama Ata Aidoo, “Theatre in Africa, and particularly in Ghana, is not just a form of entertainment. It is a powerful medium for challenging societal norms, engaging with pressing issues, and ultimately driving the kind of dialogue that leads to real change.”

Despite the rise of digital entertainment, theatre remains a vital component of Ghanaian culture, providing a platform for storytelling, social commentary and cultural preservation.

Theatre has long been an integral part of Ghanaian tradition, with roots dating back to ancient times. 

The country’s digital transformation agenda took a significant leap when President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo launched the fifth generation (5G) mobile network service in Accra.

The Special Representative of the United Nations (UN) Secretary- General and Head of the UN Office (UNOWAS) for West Africa and the Sahel, Leonardo Santos Simao, has said this year’s general election will be a serious test of the strength of Ghana’s 30-year-old democratic process. 

“This is because the elections are being organised in an environment marked by regional security challenges, misinformation and disinformation that spread quickly on social media, and the erosion of political enthusiasm among the youth,” he explained.

The envoy said socio-economic hardships; rising inflammatory statements and hate speech by some members of the public also contributed to the challenges facing the electoral process.

The 16-year-old boy charged with manslaughter for allegedly causing a fatal accident in East Legon that resulted in two deaths was reportedly leading a convoy of three SUVs and attempted to showcase the speed of the Jaguar F-Pace Sport, according to the prosecution.

In a major step towards promoting transparency in the electoral process, the Electoral Commission (EC) has opened up the process of printing ballot papers for the December 7 polls to the media.

Ghanaians will go to the polls on December 7, this year, to elect a President and 276 Members of Parliament, and in preparation for that,  a team of officials from the EC yesterday led journalists to some of the printing companies, where they were given access to the production rooms to observe the printing process, an exercise the EC said was the first time. 

Although it is being printed by six companies, the EC's team, led by the Deputy Commissioner in charge of Corporate Services, Dr Eric Bossman Asare, took the media to three of them — Buck Press, Innolink and Acts Commercials Ltd. 

I am not sure of the origin of the word “opposition” and why post elections in democracies, the losing parties became known as the opposition. By virtue of their name, one expects opposition political parties wherever they are to “oppose” the ruling party (government in power).

The Minister for Communication and Digitalisation, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, has highlighted the transformative potential of the fifth-generation communication network, stating it could reshape connectivity, productivity, and overall quality of life in Ghana.

"With its unparallel speed, low latency and enormous capacity, 5G has the potential to drive innovations in every sector; agriculture, health, transportation, manufacturing, banking and beyond", she stated.

Ghana has taken a step towards a fully connected future with the launch of high-speed 5G internet, covering Accra, Kumasi, and Takoradi in its initial rollout. 

Presidential candidate of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, is of the view that a vote for the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the upcoming December 7 polls will be disastrous for the country's future.

His reason is that a vote for "Bawumia will be a disastrous third term for Akufo-Addo and his corrupt friends and family administration."

For him, many Ghanaians are demanding accountability of the stewardship of the Akufo-Addo-led administration and that can be obtained only when Ghanaians hand over power to the NDC government.

Ghana has officially launched high-speed 5G internet service, starting with coverage in Accra, Kumasi, and Takoradi, as the government aims to expand connectivity across the nation.
