The Telecel Ghana Music Awards promises to be a night of celebration, honoring the best in Ghanaian music while showcasing outstanding performances from some of the industry’s top talents.
Additionally, the MPs were able to stop plans to establish additional Ghanaian embassies in Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago, and Mexico.
Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, a member of parliament for North Tongu, revealed this in a Facebook post. He claimed that the government could not be enforcing “crude haircuts, particularly on pensions for the vulnerable elderly and still be pursuing fanciful projects which can be deferred to better economic times in the future.”
This comes after the trade, industry and tourism committee of parliament also rejected the GHC80 million budget allocated to the construction of the National Cathedral.
The minority side of the committee voted against the budget in an 11:10 majority decision.
A member of the committee, Mr Yussif Sulemana told journalists on Tuesday, 20 December 2022: “I can tell you on authority that at the end of the day, we had to vote and after the vote, the minority carried the day. We have voted against it and we are saying that this is not the time for us to be spending that huge sum of money on building a cathedral”.
The Bole-Bamboi MP said: “Apart from that, we were told at the committee[-level] that they had already spent GHS339 million and when we asked them to give us evidence of how the money was spent, it was a challenge”.
Again, he noted, “we were told that they have moved the cathedral from wherever it was to the ministry of tourism. And the question I put to them was that that organisation that is handling this cathedral, the secretariat, is it under the ministry of tourism?”
“If it’s not under the ministry of tourism, then it means that you want to use the ministry as a conduit to send the money wherever you want to send it and we, the minority, will not accept it”.

Charles Adu Boahen has been accused of corruption, and President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has asked the Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, to look into the claims.
This comes after the president fired the minister of state for finance after the renowned journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas’ undercover investigative documentary accused him.
On Monday, November 14, 2022, the Accra International Conference Center (AICC) will host the broadcast of the investigative piece dubbed “Galamsey Economy,” but the Tiger Eye PI team has already provided a preview of what viewers might anticipate.
Included in that release, the investigative team said it met with the Minister of State in charge of Finance, Charles Adu Boahen, in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), where he stated that for the Vice President of Ghana, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, to avail himself to them, they would have to pay $200,000 as an appearance fee.
“You mean, like appearance fees and stuff? I mean he, himself (the Vice President), if you give him some (USD) 200,000 or something as a token, as thank you, appreciation, that’s fine. He’s not really, he’s not really (like) that. All he needs is to worry about his campaign money in 2020,” Charles Adu Boahen said when he was asked how an investor can get the attention of the Vice President.
He added that an investor must also consider opportunities for the siblings of the vice president for his full support, apart from the USD200,000 appearance fee token to him.
But following these revelations, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, in a statement dated Monday, November 14, 2022, sacked the minister.
“The President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has terminated the appointment of the Minister of State at the Ministry of Finance, Mr. Charles Adu Boahen, with immediate effect,” the statement read.
Also, the president directed that the Special Prosecutor should take up the case and investigate the minister accordingly.
“After being made aware of the allegations levelled against the Minister in the exposé, ‘Galamsey Economy’, the President spoke to Mr. Adu Boahen, after which he took the decision to terminate his appointment, and also to refer the matter to the Special Prosecutor for further investigations,” the statement added.
It is anticipated that there will be exhibitors at the event representing the thirteen (13) registered countries.
The participating countries are the host county – Ghana, France, Germany, The Netherlands, Iran, Italy, Poland, Spain, Turkey, USA, South Africa, Egypt and Sri Lanka.
The agrofood & plastprintpack West Africa 2022 is a collaboration between fairtrade and the Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MoFA), Ghana National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GNCCI), Ghana Enterprises Agency (GEA), and Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC).
Addressing a press conference in Accra Tuesday, October 11, 2022, the Managing Director (MD) of fairtrade, organisers of the upcoming event, Paul Marz, announced that the trade fair will focus on agrofoods and plastic products, printing and packaging.
“From November 29 to December 1, 2022, at the Grand Arena of the Accra International Conference Centre, here in Accra, we are going to have exhibitors from 13 countries all over the world, displaying their latest technology, latest products from their respective countries in the entire food and agrofood value chain.
“..From production processing to the final product on the table and everything you need,” he noted.
He added that the products that will be showcased will include food packaging and labelling, plastic printing and packaging materials.
He disclosed that the objective of the fair is to create trade partnerships and value between international and Ghanaian companies within the agrofood and plastic packaging industry.
“…and the second very important objective is to bring production to Ghana to enhance production in Ghana so Ghana becomes less dependent on food imports, and produce more in the country,” he further disclosed.
Elaborating on the plastics printing and packaging, Mr. Marz revealed that exhibitors in this space will display plastics raw materials, machinery for printing and labelling on plastic products.
“We will also have some of the exhibitors exhibit packaging machinery and products,” he mentioned.
According to the MD of fair trade, the international exhibition will be supplemented by a three-day programme that will be laden with presentations and conferences.
Mr. Marz used the opportunity to invite all professionals in the agrofood and plastics packaging sector to endeavour to participate in the event.
In a brief statement, the Director of Plant, Protection and Regulatory Services at the Ministry of Food and Agriculture, Eric Quaye, commended fairtrade for putting together such exhibition.
He stressed that such events were very crucial to the policies of the ministry, adding that there was the need to produce good quantities of foods that needed to be processed further.
He entreated Ghanaian businesses that will be participating in the event to take full advantage and shore up their businesses.
He pledged MoFA’s support to the fairtrade to ensure that the event becomes successful.
The 6th edition of the agrofood West Africa was held in 2019 which featured 87 exhibitors from 17 countries.
The exhibition presented a platform for the exhibitors to offer solutions to hundreds of trade visitors and buyers from Ghana and neighbouring West African countries.
The exhibitors came Belgium, China, France, Germany, Ghana, India and Italy.
The rest were Jordan, Morocco, The Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Tunisia and Turkey.
