News Night: NPP Plans Protest Over ‘Selective Justice’; New Cocoa Law Restricts Farmers
News Night with Kenneth Gyasi and Gemma Appiah on Joy 99.7 FM brings you the biggest stories making headlines across Ghana.
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) is preparing for a nationwide demonstration on Thursday, accusing the Mahama administration of operating a system of selective justice. The party also alleges that government has deliberately discontinued corruption cases involving former NDC officials. We examine the claims, the issues at stake, and what the protest seeks to achieve.
Also tonight, Parliament has passed a new cocoa law that restricts how cocoa farmers can sell or switch from cocoa production. We hear from the Ghana National Cocoa Farmers Association, the Minority in Parliament, and other stakeholders on what the legislation means for Ghana's cocoa sector.
Meanwhile, the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) has arrested 10 students of Koforidua Technical University, who are alleged to have produced and sold cannabis-infused drinks and ice cream during the SRC Hall Week celebrations. We speak to the Commission about the investigation and the growing concern over drug use on campuses.
Plus, government is moving to regularise waste transfer stations under a new 24-hour sanitation plan for Accra, while Zoomlion responds to protests by MMDA sanitation workers over unpaid allowances.
