Dr Mohammed Amin Adam, Minister of Finance, has once again guaranteed the public that the economy will recover strongly.

He also mentioned that inflation has significantly decreased in recent months, indicating that the economy is on the right track to recovery.

Speaking as the special guest of honour at the Health Sector Annual Summit 2024, Dr Adam expressed confidence that inflation will continue to fall and be much lower by the end of the year.

“The economy is rebounding strongly, and as the manager of the economy, I can assure you that our recovery is quite robust. We face tremendous problems, yet the future seems increasingly promising.

“As a result of the policies we enacted, economic growth has been stronger than expected. We increased at 2.9% instead of the projected 1.5% growth rate last year [2023].

“The signals of growth in the statistics also indicate that this year will be robust, so when I say the economy is strong, I mean it. Inflation has likewise been declining, having peaked at 54% at the end of 2022 and falling to 25% a year later.

“We are aiming to guarantee that inflation reaches 15% before the end of the year. And by the end of 2027, inflation will be a single digit.

A catastrophic accident on the Accra-Kumasi road in Kubease, close to Sekyere-Nkwanta, claimed the lives of four people, including a one-year-old baby.

The deadly crash happened when an articulated truck lost control on a specific stretch of road, drifting out of its allocated lane and colliding with a Benz Sprinter bus transporting the victims.

The force of the incident was so intense that the Benz Sprinter bus somersaulted and crashed into a neighbouring ditch.

Tragically, four of the bus’s passengers died on the spot as a result of their injuries, while others on board suffered varied degrees of injury.

Following the event, wounded passengers were immediately transferred to the Ejisu Government Hospital for treatment.

Meanwhile, the corpses of the deceased were respectfully laid at Juaben Government Hospital’s mortuary.

The police have taken the driver of the articulated truck into custody to help in the continuing investigations into the horrific event.

The community and authorities are in shock and grief over the unexpected loss of life and the traumatic consequences of the incident.

As road safety remains a vital problem, this occurrence emphasises the importance of alertness and obedience to traffic laws in order to prevent more catastrophic incidents on Ghana’s roadways.

Sammi Awuku, the General Manager of the National Lottery Authority (NLA), has made a startling disclosure regarding his past.

Many people believe he was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, yet the opposite is true.

Mr Awuku explained how hardship prompted him to sell water on the street to help his parents pay for the schooling of his four sisters.

“I recall having to sell water to assist my sisters to attend Holy Child because I was the only brother and youngest of our five siblings. While others received support, I found myself totally accountable for the challenges,” he told Accra-based Peace FM.

Given this context, Mr. Awuku, a key member of Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s campaign, stated that he would be eternally thankful for the progress he has made in his life.

“Every great guy has a scar. “It could be physical, psychological, or emotional,” he explained.

Mr Awuku emphasised the necessity of understanding the repercussions of elections.

He urged young people to vote for Vice President Dr Bawumia and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to secure their future.
