Business News of Saturday, 27 December 2025Source: www.ghanaweb.comThe Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), Sammy Gyamfi, has hit back at critics of both the government and GoldBod over what he described as “imaginary losses” being unfairly imposed on the surplus-making institution. According to him, the actions of these critics are driven by a desperate desire to see the government and the Board fail. In a post on his Facebook page on December 27, 2025, Gyamfi stated, “In their desperation to see the transformational GoldBod and the Mahama government fail, the doom-wishers have created ‘by force’ imaginary losses and are aggressively imposing them on the surplus-making GoldBod. “They have soon forgotten the objectives, policy design, and costs associated with the DGPP they once touted, albeit with very little to show for it,” he added.

Ambassador Quarcoo bemoans Burundi referee Officiating at AFCON 2025
Sports News of Saturday, 27 December 2025Source: www.ghanaweb.comThe alleged abysmal performance of famed Burundian referee Pacifique Ndabihawenimana, has stirred goodwill sports ambassador, Ray Quarcoo to react from afar. To the seasoned sports enthusiast, most of the referee's actions did not only throw sticks into his hard-earned spokes but dented the image of the prestigious continental competition. I am therefore appealing to the continent's football governing body, Confederation of African Football (CAF) to bring the Burundian referee to book to serve as a deterrent for others. Bafana Bafana (South Africa) controversially lost 0-1 to Egypt last Friday. They (South Africa) next face neighbors Zimbabwe in their next group game on Monday December 29, 2025.
