Ghana's beleaguered film industry is set to receive a critical financial boost after Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, the Finance Minister, unveiled plans to inject GH¢20 million into the sector, with particular focus on rescuing the embattled Kumawood industry.

During his presentation of the 2026 Budget and Economic Policy Statement to Parliament on Thursday, 13 November, delivered under the theme "Resetting for Growth, Jobs and Economic Transformation",Dr Forson revealed that the funds would provide essential seed capital through the Film Fund to support Kumawood and other film associations.

He further disclosed additional support for the broader creative economy, stating: "Government has also allocated an amount of GH¢20 million to the Creative Arts Fund as seed money for the arts, music, fashion, food and other creative sectors."

The Kumasi-based film industry, once the powerhouse of Ghanaian cinema, has suffered a catastrophic decline over recent years. At its peak, Kumawood churned out numerous films each month, providing livelihoods for hundreds of actors, producers, directors and technical crew. Today, that productivity has all but evaporated.

Multiple challenges have precipitated this downfall. The emergence of digital streaming services has fundamentally altered viewing habits, whilst rampant piracy has undermined revenue streams. Inadequate funding and poor distribution networks have compounded these difficulties, forcing many industry professionals to either abandon their craft entirely or pursue alternative means of survival as production ground to a near-standstill.

The government's intervention comes at a crucial juncture, potentially offering a pathway to recovery for an industry that has long been a cornerstone of Ghana's cultural identity and creative expression.

The Minister of Finance, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, has announced that the government will end the double-track system in senior high schools through a new plan called the Ghana Secondary Learning Improvement Programme (GSLIP).

Presenting the 2026 Budget Statement in Parliament on Thursday, November 13, 2025, Dr. Forson said the programme, which will run from 2026 to 2027, is part of President John Dramani Mahama’s RESET Agenda to make secondary education better, fair, and fully accessible to all children regardless of their background.

He explained that while the Free Secondary Education policy has increased school enrolment, it has also created overcrowding in many schools, with limited facilities affecting the quality of education.

“Many schools are overcrowded, and others lack the infrastructure or resources to deliver quality education,” the Minister said. “As a result, the previous administration introduced the double-track system, which has adversely affected the academic calendar and quality of education.”

Under the new GSLIP programme, the government will expand school infrastructure, improve teaching and learning conditions, and ensure that every student can attend school full-time

Key parts of the programme include:<ol><li>Building new classroom blocks and dormitories in selected Category A schools to reduce congestion and create space for more students.</li><li>Upgrading 10 Category B schools to Category A level with new classrooms, dormitories, libraries, science, and ICT labs.</li><li>Upgrading 30 Category C schools to Category B status with modern facilities such as science resource centres, digital learning hubs, and better water and sanitation systems.</li><li>Completing 30 abandoned E-Blocks (Community Day Senior High Schools) in urban and peri-urban areas to increase access in high-demand regions.</li></ol>

The Finance Minister said these projects will not only end the double-track system but also improve the quality of secondary education and boost students’ performance in the WASSCE.“This initiative will eliminate the double-track system and ensure that every child can attend school full-time, in dignity and in safety,” he noted.

He added that the plan will also address the imbalance between top schools and under-enrolled schools, ensuring fairness and equal opportunity.“The reality is that while Category A schools receive overwhelming demand, Category C schools remain under-enrolled due to infrastructure and quality gaps. This inequity must end, and it will end,” he said.

"In response to the food glut across the country, President Mahama has directed the immediate release of an additional GH₵200 million to the National Food Buffer Stock Company to purchase and store the excess food to protect the investment and income of our cherished food crop and poultry farmers," Dr. Forson stated.

The Minister of Finance, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, has announced the government’s decision to abolish the controversial COVID-19 Health Recovery Levy in fulfilment of President John Mahama’s campaign promise ahead of the 2024 general election.

Presenting the 2026 Budget and Economic Policy Statement in Parliament, Dr Forson stated that the removal of the levy will save over GH¢3.7 billion for Ghanaians.

He also outlined a series of tax reforms aimed at stimulating growth and easing the burden on individuals and businesses. These include scrapping VAT on recognisance and mineral prospecting, reducing the effective VAT rate from 21.9% to 20%, and raising the VAT registration threshold from GH¢200,000 to GH¢750,000.

The Minister of Finance, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, has declared that Ghana’s economy has recovered, marking a resurgence of investor confidence and an improved macroeconomic outlook.

According to him, the current administration has successfully turned the economy around despite the severe challenges experienced earlier in the year due to the lingering effects of the 2024 fiscal slippages, which placed significant strain on households, businesses and public finances.

Presenting the 2026 Budget and Economic Policy Statement in Parliament on Thursday, 13 November, under the theme “Resetting for Growth, Jobs and Economic Transformation,” Dr Forson outlined strong data on real GDP growth, supported by improvements in agriculture and services, lower inflation, and renewed business confidence.

<blockquote>Mr Speaker, Ghana's economy has regained its rhythm. Real GDP expanded by 6.3% in the first half of 2025, up from 5.1% in the same period of 2024. Driven by stronger agriculture and services, lower inflation, and renewed business confidence. Non-oil GDP grew by 7.8%, showing that our growth is now powered by domestic production.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Mr Speaker, the service sector remains the heartbeat of recovery, surging 8.8%, with ICT up 17.2%, finance and insurance up 9.5%, and education up 14.9%. Agriculture, the backbone of stability, also grew by 6%, doubling that of last year.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Mr Speaker, thanks to targeted farms, farm support and smarter policies, industry held steady despite reduced oil output. Manufacturing rose 6.3% and construction 4.0%, reflecting reliable energy supply and revived infrastructure projects.</blockquote>

Dr Forson further highlighted Ghana’s return to single-digit inflation, saying:

<blockquote>Inflation has fallen faster than anyone imagined, from 23.8% in December 2024 to 8% by October 2025. Ghana is back to single-digit inflation. This was not by sheer luck; it is the outcome of disciplined fiscal policy, steady monetary management, stable exchange rates, and strong domestic production.</blockquote>

Dr Forson added that the government remains committed to consolidating these gains through sound economic management and inclusive growth policies that ensure lasting prosperity for all Ghanaians.

2026 Budget: ‘Ghana’s economy has recovered’ – Dr Ato Forson declares

The Parliament of Ghana has approved Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie as the country’s next Chief Justice, following the presentation of the Appointments Committee’s report after his vetting on Monday, 10 November.

Presenting the Committee’s report to Parliament on Thursday, 13 November, the Chairman, Bernard Ahiafor, said the recommendation for approval was made by a majority decision after careful deliberation.

According to the report, Justice Baffoe-Bonnie demonstrated “outstanding competence, a deep understanding of the law, and a firm grasp of judicial ethics.”

The House subsequently debated the report, with members of the Minority Caucus opposing the approval. They argued that the process should be suspended until the conclusion of legal actions filed by former Chief Justice Gertrude Torkonoo.

Speaking for the Minority, the Member of Parliament for Akuapim North, Samuel Awuku, stated:

<blockquote>If Justice Baffoe-Bonnie is approved by Parliament today, and the ECOWAS Court or the Supreme Court later rules otherwise, the Constitution does not provide clear guidance on how such a situation should be addressed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>We hold the view that this process should be paused until the ongoing matters are resolved. On this basis, we call on the House to reject the nominee.</blockquote>

However, the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Dr Dominic Ayine, speaking for the Majority, defended the nominee, describing Justice Baffoe-Bonnie as the right choice to lead the judiciary. He argued that his appointment breached no constitutional provisions. He said:

<blockquote>Mr Speaker, we all know that our judiciary is at a crossroads. Public trust in its performance is declining, as various studies have shown. We therefore need an experienced and steady hand to steer the judiciary forward. The right person at this moment is someone who has served with distinction for over three decades, and that person is Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie.</blockquote>

Following a voice vote for the adoption of the report, Speaker Alban Bagbin declared the approval of Justice Baffoe-Bonnie’s nomination. However, the minority caucus challenged the decision which prompted the Speaker to direct for a headcount.

The majority Caucus however with their huge numbers won the headcount with 163 members present against the minority who had 69 members in the house.

Black Stars head coach Otto Addo has provided an update on the fitness of defender Mohammed Salisu, who joined Ghana’s camp late due to an injury concern ahead of their international friendly against Japan in the 2025 Kirin Challenge Cup.

Speaking at a pre-match press conference in Nagoya, Addo explained that the defender sustained a knock during his last league game in France and had been receiving treatment before travelling to join the team in Asia.

“Salisu suffered an injury after his last match in France, so he was getting some treatment, and that’s why he came late,” Addo told reporters. “We will see today if he can train. Due to the time difference and long travel, we have to assess how he feels before deciding if he can play.”

The coach also confirmed that a few other players are managing minor fitness issues but expressed confidence that the squad will be fully fit for Friday’s encounter. The Black Stars trained on Wednesday evening, with 19 players taking part in preparations for the first of two friendlies on their Asian tour.

Despite some absences among his regular starters, Addo expressed faith in the youthful group he has assembled, saying the team has both quality and hunger to compete against any opponent.

“We have a lot of young, hungry players on board. On bad days, we can struggle, but on good days, we can beat anyone,” he said. “We showed at the last World Cup that we were close to beating Portugal and managed to defeat South Korea. I believe we have a competitive team, and we are looking forward to taking the next step.”

Addo acknowledged that facing Japan will be a difficult test, especially given their impressive form, which includes a remarkable 3–2 victory over Brazil. However, he remains optimistic that Ghana’s youthful energy and growing cohesion will produce positive results as the team builds momentum towards the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has confirmed that the government is not providing any financial support for the Black Stars’ international friendly matches against Japan and South Korea.

The senior national team is currently on an Asian tour as part of preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, which begin next year. Otto Addo’s side will face Japan in the Kirin Challenge Cup on Friday, 14 November, before travelling to Seoul to play South Korea on 18 November.

Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ultimate Sports Show, GFA Communications Director, Henry Asante Twum, explained that although the Ministry of Sports and Recreation was informed about the tour, both matches are being fully funded by the host nations.

GFA Communications Director, Henry Asante Twum

“The games will be funded by the two teams that invited the Black Stars; we did not take any money from the ministry,” he stated. “Even though the GFA President informed the sector minister of these matches, there is no funding from their end. They gave us their blessing to proceed, but without financial support,” he added.

Mr Asante Twum further clarified that players will not receive the usual winning bonuses associated with competitive fixtures. Instead, they will be paid daily allowances, commonly known as per diems, during their stay in Asia. “There will be no winning bonuses; only the agreed per diem between the GFA and the players,” he said.

He added that this arrangement is consistent with the GFA’s policy for friendly matches, which are regarded primarily as technical and tactical exercises rather than financially incentivised competitions.

Otto Addo has named a 22-man squad for the Asia tour, with 19 players already participating in the team’s first training session in Nagoya, Japan, on Wednesday. The remaining players are expected to arrive before Friday’s fixture.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has launched a same-day passport application and delivery service, offering applicants the option to receive their passports within 24 hours for a fee of GH¢2,000.

The announcement was made by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, who described the service as a “super expedited option” designed for urgent travel needs.

Speaking on the new initiative, Mr Ablakwa said:

<blockquote>In one day, within 24 hours, same-day delivery, you can receive your passport once you apply, meet the criteria, and pay the special rate. This is a demanding process as staff will be working around the clock to ensure delivery within the 24-hour window.</blockquote>

The Super Eagles of Nigeria are poised for their crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup African qualifier semi-final against Gabon, following a brief but significant training boycott over unpaid bonuses and allowances.

On Tuesday, 11 November 2025, the squad, including players and officials, refused to train at their base in Rabat, Morocco. The protest arose due to delays and non-payment of agreed bonuses and camp allowances, with some payments reportedly pending since 2019.

The dispute threatened to disrupt preparations for Thursday’s play-off match at the Prince Héritier Moulay El Hassan Stadium, scheduled to kick off at 16:00 GMT. The winner will advance to the final stage of Africa’s path to the 2026 World Cup, which will take place in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

Following intensive mediation involving the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), the squad, and the National Sports Commission, team captain William Troost-Ekong confirmed the resolution on X (formerly Twitter):

<blockquote>Issue RESOLVED. Outstanding financials cleared and on the ground. Team is UNITED and focused as before on representing NIGERIA with our maximum for the games ahead.</blockquote>

Neither the NFF nor the players provided full disclosure of the payments made or the precise terms of the resolution.

The team held their final training session in Rabat on Wednesday at 17:00 local time in preparation for the semi-final against Gabon, scheduled for Thursday, 13 November, at 17:00 West African Time at the Prince Héritier Moulay El Hassan Stadium.

With the immediate crisis resolved, attention now shifts fully to the pitch. The Super Eagles will be expected to demonstrate unity and professionalism as they take on Gabon in the one-leg knockout. Victory will take them one step closer to the inter-continental play-off and a chance to compete at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Former General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), John Boadu, has revealed that he would consider bringing dancehall superstar Shatta Wale into the NPP fold, citing the artiste’s immense influence among Ghana’s youth as a powerful tool for political outreach.

Speaking on JoyNews on 11 November 2025, Mr Boadu stressed the growing importance of youth engagement, particularly as young voters are expected to form a significant portion of the electorate by 2028. He noted that connecting with the younger generation in ways that align with their passions and culture is essential for the NPP’s long-term success.

“If possible, why not? You can get other people out as well,” he remarked when asked about the idea of involving Shatta Wale in the party’s activities.

When pressed on whether this meant the musician would campaign for the NPP, he clarified, “Not necessarily a hard campaign, but passing through our messages.”

Mr Boadu explained that the strategy would not rely on traditional rallies or formal endorsements but rather on meeting young people where they are, through the social spaces, platforms, and entertainment channels that shape their daily lives.

“I am saying it is not even necessary to have them at your rallies. You need to meet them where they are. You need to tap into their interests and not necessarily bring them onto your political platforms,” he said.

Reflecting on the 2024 general elections, he acknowledged that although the NPP incorporated songs by King Paluta and Shatta Wale into its campaign, the approach was not robust enough to make a decisive impact.

“You need to do more of that by nurturing these youthful people,” he urged.

According to Mr Boadu, effective youth engagement goes beyond entertainment and requires creating a genuine sense of inclusion. He pointed out that many young voters are not seeking appointments or financial rewards but rather recognition and belonging within the political structure, an approach he said the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has effectively adopted in academic and youth spaces.

John Boadu hints at recruiting Shatta Wale for NPP: ‘We need his influence to win’

Supporters of Odo Broni, the second wife of the late Ghanaian Highlife icon Daddy Lumba, have voiced their disappointment following a recent ruling by the Manhyia Palace regarding the ongoing dispute over the musician’s funeral arrangements.

On Monday, 10 November 2025, the late singer’s elder sister, Ernestina Fosu, and family head (Abusuapanin) Kofi Owusu appeared before the sub-chiefs of Otumfuo Osei Tutu II at the Manhyia Palace for the third time within days. The sitting formed part of efforts by the Palace to mediate the escalating family feud surrounding the musician’s final rites.

The closed-door hearing, presided over by several prominent chiefs including Otumfuo’s linguist, Baffour Kantankrakye, concluded with decisive rulings that altered the course of the funeral plans.

Among the key decisions, the funeral date was officially moved from 6 December to 13 December 2025, while the funeral committee chaired by Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu was dissolved. The chiefs also approved a fresh autopsy on the late artist’s remains, granting permission to Ernestina Fosu and other family members who had long demanded it amid suspicions of foul play.

The ruling reportedly devastated supporters of Odo Broni, who had previously aligned themselves with Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu during the dispute.

Later that evening, during a TikTok live session, the group, led by outspoken evangelist and social media personality Freda Afriyie, held a prayer and worship session to express their disappointment and seek spiritual comfort.

In emotional scenes, participants were seen praying fervently, singing solemn hymns, and calling on God to restore peace and fairness within the family. Freda Afriyie, a staunch supporter of Odo Broni, broke down in tears during the live broadcast, describing the Palace’s ruling as “deeply unfair and painful.”

The heartfelt gathering highlighted the ongoing rift within the Lumba family and among their followers, as disagreements over the musician’s funeral arrangements and family leadership continue to play out publicly.

The Minister for Finance, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, will later today present the 2026 Budget and Economic Policy Statement to Parliament. The statement is expected to outline government’s economic direction, revenue generation measures, and expenditure priorities for the year ahead.

This year’s budget presentation follows extensive consultations with key stakeholders, including industry leaders, civil society organisations, and development partners. It is therefore anticipated to be one of the most closely watched economic policy statements, setting the tone for Ghana’s medium-term growth agenda.

Ghana has recorded notable progress in economic stabilisation. Public debt has declined from 93.3% of GDP in 2022 to 44.9% by mid-2025, while inflation has dropped from 54.1% in 2022 to 8% as of October 2025. Additionally, GDP growth has doubled to 6.3% in the second quarter of 2025, reflecting signs of recovery and renewed investor confidence.

The 2026 Budget is expected to focus on sustaining macroeconomic stability, deepening fiscal discipline, accelerating infrastructure and social development, expanding social protection, promoting education and youth empowerment, and driving job creation through private sector-led growth.

Infrastructure Investment: Government is projected to more than double its allocation for road infrastructure, with over 60 major projects already ongoing. Increased funding is also expected for healthcare and education facilities across the country.

Beyond Stabilisation: Economic analysts are eager to see whether government policies will shift from stabilisation towards inclusive and sustainable growth, particularly given that capital investment stood at only 1.4% of GDP in the first half of 2025.

Policy Shift: This presentation marks the first full-year budget of President John Dramani Mahama’s administration since its return to power. It is therefore expected to reflect a new policy direction, distinct from the inherited fiscal framework that guided the 2025 budget.

As the Finance Minister takes the floor today, attention will be firmly fixed on how the 2026 Budget balances fiscal responsibility with the urgent need for economic transformation.

Ghanaians will be looking for concrete measures that build on recent gains, promote inclusive growth, and secure long-term prosperity. The statement is expected to serve as both a reflection of past recovery efforts and a blueprint for sustained development under President Mahama’s leadership.

In a post on Facebook on Thursday, Nwoko provided clarity on the age at which he married Regina Daniels, and he described the circulating reports that state he married Regina at the age of 17 as “entirely untrue and misleading,” urging the public to disregard them.“It has come to my attention that false claims are being circulated by Regina, suggesting that I married her when she was 17 years old. These claims are entirely untrue,” he said.

Nwoko explained that during his first meeting with Regina, he inquired about her age, and she told him she was 21. “I further asked if she had any documents to support this, and she presented her INEC voter’s card, which clearly shows that she was born on October 10th, 1998. I informed her that I would keep this document in my possession, and I have done so since that day,” he added.

He also referenced a BBC interview granted by Regina’s mother shortly after their marriage, which he said corroborated the age stated on the voter’s card.

According to the senator, their marriage took place six years ago, which makes Regina 27 years old today. “Any suggestion that I married her at 17 is false and should not be accepted by the public. The facts are verifiable and indisputable,” he stated.&nbsp;

Nwoko further urged the public to treat Regina’s recent statements with caution, citing her alleged “current mental condition” and issues with “abandoned rehabilitation from illegal drug addiction.”

The dispute adds another layer to the ongoing tension between the couple, which has recently played out across social media platforms, drawing widespread public attention.

The Accra High Court has reduced the bail amount of former Executive Director of the National Service Authority (NSA), Osei Assibey Antwi, from GH¢800 million to GH¢623 million while maintaining all other bail conditions.

The decision followed an application by Mr Antwi’s legal team, who argued that the original amount was excessive and practically impossible to meet. His lawyers contended that the GH¢800 million bail would require the provision of multiple high-value properties in Accra or over a thousand houses in Kumasi, which they described as unrealistic.

They further noted that the primary purpose of bail, which is to prevent flight risk, had already been satisfied, as Mr Antwi had surrendered his passports and been placed on a no-flight list.

However, the prosecution, led by Dufie Prempeh from the Office of the Attorney-General, opposed the application, maintaining that the initial bail terms were fair and necessary to ensure the accused remained available for trial.
