RE- Zoomlion In Charge Of Gprtu Mandatory Towing Levy – Bright Simon Alleges
We wish to first of all state that, Zoomlion has no deal and or connection with any road towing programme with the GPRTU. We find the tweet firstly by Bright Simons and by Ghana Web unfortunate and repulsively regrettable especially where there was no fact-checking from Zoomlion Ghana Limited before the publications. We, therefore, wish to demand a retraction and an apology from Bright Simons and Ghanaweb on the said publication as quickly as possible otherwise, we shall take legal action to address the matter. Zoomlion is concentrating on transforming the waste management sector of Ghana and will not be distracted by any person or group of persons in any way.

A senior fellow of think tank IMANI Centre for Policy and Education has criticised the Electoral Commission’s proposal to make the Ghana Card the sole requirement for voter registration. “The ever confused Ghanaian Electoral Commission says it's limiting registration to only those with Ghana Cards to stop the ‘guarantor’ form of identification.

S&P downgrades Ghana's credit rating from B- to CCC+ - Report
General News of Saturday, 6 August 2022Source: www.ghanaweb.comAmerican credit rating agency, Standard and Poor's (S&P) Global Ratings on Friday, August 5, pushed Ghana's debt further into speculative territory, lowering its foreign and local currency sovereign ratings to CCC+/C from B-/B. According to a report by marketwatch.com, S&P said its outlook for the country remains negative, "reflecting Ghana's limited commercial financing options, and constrained external and fiscal buffers." "While these changes could improve the tax take going forward, the situation remains challenging, and over the first half of 2022, the fiscal deficit has exceeded the government's ambitious target," S&P Global Ratings stated. S&P Global Ratings had affirmed Ghana's ratings in February, as Moody's downgraded the country to Caa1 with a stable outlook. Of the total debt stock, domestic debt was GH¢190.1 billion (37.8 percent of GDP), while the external debt was GH¢203.4 billion (40.5 percent of GDP).
