FINANCE MINISTER BACKS FAIR APPROACH TO AFRICA’S DEBT CRISIS

Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson has thrown his support behind calls for a fairer and more sustainable approach to Africa’s deepening US$1.3 trillion debt crisis.

Speaking in Accra after receiving a petition from the African Regional Organization of the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC-Africa) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) of Ghana, Dr. Forson emphasized that while debt cancellation demands are legitimate, outright refusal to repay debts is not feasible.

He explained the difference between “we can’t pay” and “we won’t pay,” stressing that many African nations, including Ghana, are simply unable to meet their obligations due to the harsh effects of COVID-19, rising inflation, and currency depreciation.

Dr. Forson revealed that 23 African countries are already spending more on debt servicing than on critical needs like education, healthcare, and infrastructure, warning that this poses a severe threat to development.

The petitioners, ITUC-Africa and TUC, argued that Africa’s massive debt burden is draining resources away from schools, hospitals, and jobs, trapping nations in austerity and undermining the future of young people.

While Dr. Forson stopped short of endorsing total cancellation, he called for a more humane and inclusive debt resolution mechanism, citing Ghana’s own GHS 800 billion debt restructuring as an example of the urgent need for reforms.

His remarks come as global advocacy for debt justice intensifies, with unions, civil society groups, and policymakers pushing for reforms to prevent what they describe as a “looming debt trap” for the continent.

President John Dramani Mahama Declares: “I Will Not Contest in 2028 Elections”

President John Dramani Mahama has officially ended speculations about a possible third-term bid, announcing that he will not be a candidate in Ghana’s 2028 elections.

Speaking during a bilateral discussion with Singaporean President Tharman Shanmugaratnam, President Mahama stressed that stepping aside gives him the moral authority to enforce strict fiscal discipline in the run-up to the 2028 elections.

> “I will not be a candidate in the next elections and therefore I can hold the line when it comes to fiscal discipline,” he declared.

This statement comes after NPP’s Justin Frimpong Kodua alleged that the NDC was plotting constitutional amendments to allow Mahama a third term. He based his claims on interpretations of Article 66(2) of Ghana’s 1992 Constitution.

Meanwhile, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, National Chairman of the NDC, has reaffirmed that the party has no plans to present President Mahama again in 2028. He emphasized that the NDC has always respected the Constitution, which limits a president to two terms.

On Channel One TV’s Face to Face, Asiedu Nketiah urged party members and the public to remain calm:

> “We will stick by the tenets of the Constitution. Whoever succeeds President Mahama will ride on his achievements.”

Veteran journalist Kwesi Pratt Jr. also expressed relief at Mahama’s declaration, saying it proves critics wrong who claimed the President was power-hungry. Pratt further argued that it is “extremely foolish” for anyone to believe only one man out of 35 million Ghanaians can lead the country.

With this announcement, President Mahama has shut the door on third-term speculation, paving the way for discussions on succession and continuity within the NDC.

🔴 MAFI TV GH NEWS UPDATE

Baltasar Ebang Engonga, former boss of Equatorial Guinea’s National Financial Investigation Agency and nephew of President Teodoro Obiang Nguema, has been sentenced to 8 years in prison for embezzlement.

Baltasar made headlines last year after a s*x tape scandal went viral, showing him with multiple women, including wives and relatives of top officials.

At the time, he was already under detention for allegedly depositing millions of embezzled funds into secret Cayman Islands accounts.

This latest ruling marks a major fall from grace for one of the most controversial figures in the President’s inner circle.

RALPH ST WILLIAMS BREAKS SILENCE AFTER RIDGE ASSAULT COMMITTEE CLEARS HIM

Activist Ralph St Williams has finally spoken after the Ridge Assault Investigative Committee cleared him of assault allegations brought against a nurse, Rejoice Tsotsoo Bortei, at the Greater Accra Regional Hospital (Ridge).

The incident, which went viral on August 17, 2025, showed Ralph in a heated confrontation with nurses after they allegedly failed to attend promptly to a critically ill patient he rushed to the hospital.

Nurse Rejoice Bortei later accused Ralph of physically assaulting her, claiming she sustained a dislocated shoulder and other injuries. CCTV footage was cited in support of her claim.

However, in its final report presented on August 27, 2025, the committee stated there was no medical or video evidence to back the nurse’s allegations.

Following the report, Ralph took to Facebook, sharing another video from Ridge Hospital and questioning why a young man was still remanded in jail over the same case despite the findings clearing him.

He tagged former President John Dramani Mahama and Minority Health Spokesperson Kwabena Mintah Akandoh in his post, demanding answers.

Central Tongu DCE Replies Critics — Describes Allegations as Baseless & Unfounded

📰 Story by: Benjamin Makafui Attipoe | Mafi Adidome

The District Chief Executive (DCE) for Central Tongu, Hon. Addison Dodzi Mornyuie, has strongly dismissed reports alleging that his office spent Ghc120,000.00 on furniture for the Assembly, describing them as baseless, unfounded and misleading.

In an exclusive interview with the MAFI TV GH news team, Hon. Mornyuie clarified that the procurement of new office chairs and conference hall seats was a necessary intervention to improve efficiency and working conditions at the Assembly.

He explained that upon assuming office, the Assembly faced a serious furniture deficit, forcing staff to use conference hall chairs in their offices, which disrupted official functions of the hall. The new furniture acquisition, he stressed, was aimed at addressing this long-standing challenge.

Hon. Mornyuie emphasized that the process was carried out transparently, following all due procedures through the Management Committee, the District Coordinating Director (DCD), and other relevant officers—making it a collective decision, not a personal one.

The DCE assured residents that his administration remains committed to transparency, accountability, and prudent use of resources, while cautioning against the spread of misinformation on social media. He urged the public to seek clarification directly from his office before engaging in what he described as "maligning crusades."

Reaffirming his commitment to the people of Central Tongu, Hon. Mornyuie noted that his outfit fully aligns with the reset agenda of President John Dramani Mahama and the NDC government, prioritizing the needs and welfare of Ghanaians.
