  By Hon. Ebi Bright, Mayor of Tema Metropolitan Assembly (Ghana) Last September, I had the honour of representing Tema—and Africa—in Germany on a study tour with the theme “Fit for Climate Change – How Cities and Municipalities Are Meeting the Challenges of Climate Change.” The week-long seminar brought together mayors, town planners, and urban experts from across Europe, North America, Asia, and Israel to discuss practical solutions for sustainable urban development.   Supported by the German Embassy in Ghana and nominated by the Covenant of Mayors in Sub-Saharan Africa (CoM SSA), implemented by GIZ, the programme explored practical approaches to achieving climate-neutral cities through sustainable mobility, energy-efficient housing, flood and drought management, and public-private partnerships for decarbonisation.   Participants visited pioneering German green cities, including Mannheim, Münster, and Tübingen, recognised for their bold climate policies and innovation. ...

Singer and Composer David Ayuba popularly Known as Pzeefire has finally released his New Single STUCK ON YOU just in time for your Valentine's day celebration. February is the month of Love and it's always the best time to fall in love. Stuck On You is an AFROFUSION medley of beautiful strings, African drums and a blend of pidgin and English well fused with  crafty lyrics, invoking a nostalgic feeling from his first encounter with love.  With a master’s command of vocals and emotion, he paints a perfect picture of what it means to be “Stuck” on a person. The vulnerability, the constant thinking, desire and finally, sacrifices. This single deserves to be on every lover’s playlist as he or she celebrates with that one special person.

Reading The Signals In Tema East  In politics, praise is never just praise. Especially when it is public, loud, and well-timed. Hon. Isaac Ashai Odamtten’s decision to openly commend Mr. Richster Amarfio at the Annual Thanksgiving and Devotional Worship may have looked harmless on the surface. A citation here, a few kind words there. But in Tema East, nothing stays innocent for long. The real temperature rose when a flyer began circulating on social media, boldly branding Mr. Richster Amarfio as “The Hope of the Grassroots.” No position stated. No office mentioned. No explanation offered. Just a carefully chosen message, left to speak for itself.And in politics, silence speaks loudly. That single omission has fueled intense speculation within the constituency and among party insiders. The question now echoing across Tema East is simple but loaded, Is the MP quietly supporting Mr. Richster Amarfio to take over the Constituency Chairmanship from Hon. Kempes? This question is not emer...

Ghana has commenced diplomatic negotiations with Ukraine aimed at securing the release of a Ghanaian national (name withheld) who is being held by the Ukrainians as a prisoner of war.  The Ukrainian Government has notified us of the arrest of our national and provided his identity which we have now verified.  Evidence made available indicates that the Ghanaian arrived in Moscow, Russia on July 7, 2024 where records show he signed a contract to join the 2nd Assault Company of the 71st Motorized Rifle Regiment of the 42nd Motorized Rifle Division. He subsequently participated in hostilities in the Zaporizhzhia direction. Yesterday, I held a meeting with the Acting Ambassador of Ukraine to Ghana, Ivan Lukachuk and appealed for his release to Ghana.  A special message has been sent to Kyiv.  I am also scheduled to travel to Ukraine in the coming weeks to continue with negotiations for his release.  Ghana has objected to the potential of our national being added to a...
