Justice Asare-Botwe flags procedural lapses keeping inmates on remand
Speaking after a recent sitting held under the Justice for All Programme at the Kumasi Central Prisons, she stressed the need for the swift execution of court processes. Justice Asare-Botwe revealed that all outstanding warrants were signed during the exercise but noted that several had expired, exposing deep procedural lapses. Providing details of the outcomes from the sitting, Justice Asare-Botwe said 15 bail applications were granted, while 12 were refused. Four trial prisoners were discharged after their cases were reviewed, one inmate was referred for psychiatric treatment, and three cases were struck out. The programme seeks to bring justice to marginalised and unrepresented remand prisoners and has contributed significantly to reducing inmate populations across the country’s prisons.

Dangote finally explains why his cement is cheaper outside Nigeria
Business News of Sunday, 21 December 2025Source: www.ghanaweb.comAfrica’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, has explained that the price difference between his exported cement and what Nigerians pay domestically is primarily due to Nigeria’s high taxes and regulatory burden. Speaking at a press conference, Dangote explained that exporting allows his company to bypass a range of taxes that would otherwise drive up production costs domestically. By eliminating these costs, Aliko Dangote noted that he would be able to price Nigerian cement competitively in global markets against producers from Turkey, Russia, and China. Nigeria's fiscal framework makes it cheaper to sell locally produced items overseas than at home, reflecting deeper structural flaws in the economy. Dangote reveals what his prayer for his worst enemy isHe also said Nigerian consumers bear the cost of high taxes, various levies, and regulatory inefficiency.
