Blank cheque - if you give someone a blank cheque, you authorise them to do what they think is best in a difficult situation.

Example - Tom was given a blank cheque and told to negotiate the best deals possible.

Increasing number of rejected ballots - time to consider electronic voting

The recent referendum for the creation of the Western North, Oti, Ahafo, Bono East, Savannah  and North East regions supervised by the Electoral Commission recorded a total of 4,175 rejected ballots. The figure, taking into consideration the mammoth approval by the electorate who took part  in the exercise may appear small but significant enough to influence the outcome of a major election, especially one that is determined by simple majority. For instance, in the 2012 parliamentary elections at the Tema East Constituency, the then candidate, Nii Kwartei Titus Glover beat his closest contender Kempes Ofosuware by only three votes which consequently earned him the name “MP3.” Assuming four of the electorate who voted in favour of Mr Glover had “messed up” with the ballot, the destiny of the contest would have been altered by human making. This is one out of tens of examples that testifies the importance of ensuring the validity of every vote cast. The trend from 2008 Per Ghana’...

In spite of Ghana having one of the best climatic conditions suitable for beekeeping and honey production, the country imports more than 600 tonnes of honey worth millions of cedis every month. Data from the Federation of Ghana Bee Keepers Association (FGBA) showed that although about 70 per cent of the country's vegetation supported beekeeping, more than 60 per cent of honey consumed or for manufacturing purposes were sourced from foreign markets, including Burkina Faso. According to the federation, the situation was mainly attributable to the increasing demand for honey on the local market and failure on the part of local producers to match the demand. It attributed the failure to the lack of adequate resources and inputs at the disposal of local industry players, owing to the absence of credit schemes and policy direction to propel them to produce in commercial quantities. This, perhaps, summarises the extent to which Ghana's beekeeping and honey industry has been neglect...

Advocacy Groups call for an upgrade of Atewa Forest into a National Park Status

Image
  THREE environmental advocacy groups have urged the government to come up with a strategic plan towards the upgrade of the Atewa Range Forest in the Eastern Region into a national park status. The groups, A Rocha Ghana, Ghana Wildlife Society, and the Concerned Citizens of Atewa were unanimous in their justification that an upgrade of the forest would ensure a long-term security of it and sustainably provide efficient public goods and services to the people. At the opening of four-day exhibition organised by A Rocha Ghana in Accra today to showcase the unique features of the Atewa Forest, the groups maintained their dissatisfaction against government's decision to mine bauxite in the forest. In July 2018, the government in the mid-year budget review, announced a $2 billion deal with a Chinese engineering firm, Sinohydro Group Limited, to fund infrastructure projects by the government. Sinohydro Group Limited of China, according to reports, would provide $2 b...
