News Night: Kumasi Doctors Suspend Strike; Accra Floods Persist; SIGA Boss Targets State Awards

News Night with Kenneth Gyasi and Gemma Appiah on Joy 99.7 FM brings you the stories making headlines across Ghana tonight.

Relief is emerging in Kumasi as doctors and allied health professionals suspend their strike action following the intervention of the Asantehene. However, the health workers insist their concerns remain unresolved and their fight is far from over.

Meanwhile, parts of Accra remain inundated after days of heavy rainfall, leaving roads submerged, properties damaged, and residents stranded. We also take you to Ashaley Botwe, where residents fear a cracked six-storey building could collapse as the rains continue.

Also tonight, a major controversy is unfolding around the Minister of State Excellence Awards, with the Director-General of SIGA, Prof. Michael Kpessa-Whyte, accusing organizers of soliciting sponsorship from state-owned enterprises. He has vowed to investigate and sanction any state institution found to have funded the awards.

We also hear from CDD-Ghana Chairman Prof. H. Kwasi Prempeh, who warns that such award schemes risk undermining public confidence in governance and state institutions.
