Festive season fare hikes deepen commuter woes in Accra
Regional News of Friday, 19 December 2025Source: classfmonline.comThe plight of passengers in Accra continues to worsen as some commercial transport operators allegedly impose unauthorised fare increases, especially during festive periods. Commuters say drivers of commercial vehicles are increasingly disregarding approved fares and charging passengers arbitrary amounts, leaving many with little option but to comply. The situation, passengers argue, has become a recurring problem whenever demand for transport rises. Passengers travelling to Nungua, who are expected to pay GH¢5.00, say they are instead being charged higher Accra fares. For low-income earners who rely on public transport daily, the arbitrary hikes are placing an additional financial burden on already stretched household budgets.

If ORAL fails, we are finished, and the very survival of our democracy is in peril,” he said.

AFCON 2025: Full list of coaches poised for a place in history
Sports News of Friday, 19 December 2025Source: www.ghanaweb.comA historic shift in African football leadership will be on display at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco, with a majority of participating teams now entrusted to African head coaches. Elsewhere, African coaches are also in charge of Mozambique, Zambia, Cameroon, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, Botswana and Burkina Faso. For decades, African football federations largely depended on European coaches, often citing tactical sophistication and experience as justification. That narrative is now shifting, with federations increasingly backing homegrown expertise and former players who understand the unique demands of African football. Many of the African coaches at AFCON 2025 are ex-national team stars, bringing not only technical knowledge but also cultural awareness, emotional intelligence and a strong sense of national identity.

Concerned NDC members in Larabanga petition President Mahama
“Larabanga has been the NDC’s shield,” the petition stated, adding that the continued exclusion of the community from appointments had created “deep emotional wounds” and growing disillusionment among party faithful. The petitioners also highlighted the spiritual support Larabanga had consistently offered the NDC, noting that local imams regularly pray for the success and well-being of President Mahama and the party. Raising political concerns, the group warned that the perceived neglect had opened the door for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to make inroads into Larabanga. They cautioned that unless urgent steps were taken, the community could shift from being an NDC stronghold to a political battleground. The group appealed to President Mahama to intervene decisively, urging him to ensure that qualified sons and daughters of Larabanga were appointed into national and regional positions, and that the community’s standing within the NDC was restored.
