President Mahama arrived in the early hours of Monday, February 2, and was received by the UAE Minister of State, His Excellency Sheikh Shakhboot bin Nahyan Al Nahyan. The President travelled aboard an aircraft provided by the President of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Abu Dhabi, His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. The aircraft conveyed President Mahama from Accra to Dubai and is scheduled to continue onward to Lusaka after the summit. The World Governments Summit, being held at Madinat Jumeirah in Dubai, is themed “Shaping Future Governments.” The annual gathering serves as a global platform for governments, international organisations, private sector leaders, and policy experts to exchange ideas on governance, innovation, and solutions to pressing global challenges. This year’s summit agenda is organised around five key pillars: global governance and effective leadership; societal wellbeing and capacity building; economic prosperity and emerging opportunities; urban futures and evolving demographics; and future realities and next frontiers. Several world leaders and senior international officials are participating in the summit, including President Julius Maada Bio of Sierra Leone, President Daniel Noboa of Ecuador, President Guy Parmelin of the Swiss Confederation, and Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. Also attending are Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, Kristalina Georgieva, and Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council, Jasem Al Budaiwi, among others. Discussions at the summit are expected to influence global policy debates and highlight innovations that could shape governance systems and societies in the years ahead.

The Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr. Frank Amoakohene, has supervised the signing of performance contracts by Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) in the region as part of efforts to promote accountability, transparency and citizen participation in local governance. The exercise, held at the Ashanti Regional Coordinating Council (ARCC) in Kumasi on Thursday, January 29, followed an earlier meeting involving the Ministry of Local Government, Decentralisation and Rural Development, the Office of the Local Government Service and all Regional Ministers. Dr. Amoakohene explained that the performance contracts were introduced under a national directive, with a January 30 deadline set for all regions to conclude similar agreements with their respective Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs). He said the contracts clearly outline key performance indicators (KPIs), targets and quarterly deliverables expected of MMDCEs to support the President’s development and “reset” agenda. “By the time they leave here, they know exactly what is expected of them, the targets they must meet and what they are to achieve at the end of every quarter,” the Regional Minister said. According to Dr. Amoakohene, the performance framework covers all departments within the local government system, including human resource management, accounting and finance, sanitation, smart workplace initiatives and security. He noted that heads of the National and District Security Councils (NUSec and DISEC) were also assigned specific security-related targets tailored to the needs of their respective districts, municipalities and metropolitan areas. Dr. Amoakohene described the exercise as successful and commended the MMDCEs for their cooperation, expressing confidence that the contracts would guide their work and improve service delivery at the local level. He said the performance contracts would serve as both a checklist and a self-assessment tool, enabling MMDCEs to monitor their own performance even before external evaluations are conducted. The Regional Minister added that the system would provide an objective and credible basis for assessing performance, reducing the influence of sentiment in decision-making, including possible reshuffles or reassignments of chief executives. He further disclosed that the KPIs would be tied to rewards for strong performance and sanctions for failure to meet agreed targets. Dr. Amoakohene said the initiative was expected to strengthen trust between government and citizens, while reinforcing the confidence placed in local authorities by the President and the people of Ghana. He reaffirmed the region’s commitment to supporting the President’s agenda and ensuring effective implementation of government policies across all MMDAs in the Ashanti Region.

The Ashanti Regional Drug Law Enforcement Unit of the Ghana Police Service has destroyed illicit drugs valued at several million Ghana cedis following sustained operations across the region. The narcotics, which included tramadol, cannabis, male enhancement products and other prohibited substances, were seized during police operations conducted between 2025 and 2026. The destruction was carried out after the unit secured a court order in line with Section 37 of the Narcotics Control Commission Act, 2020 (Act 1019). Speaking after the exercise, the Commanding Officer of the Unit, Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Frazer Nutakor, said the substances were destroyed to prevent them from re-entering circulation and to demonstrate the police service’s commitment to fighting drug abuse and trafficking. He explained that the drugs were burned at the Oti Landfill site in the presence of representatives from the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA), Environmental Health Services, and the media to ensure transparency and accountability. ASP Nutakor disclosed that suspects arrested in connection with the seized narcotics are currently before the courts and are being prosecuted in accordance with the law. He cautioned the public against drug abuse, noting that many people misuse drugs in the mistaken belief that they enhance productivity or improve academic performance, without realising the serious health risks involved. Reaffirming the unit’s resolve, ASP Nutakor said officers would remain relentless in arresting and prosecuting individuals involved in the illicit drug trade to rid society of the menace. He urged the public to refrain from drug use, stressing that drug abuse poses a serious threat to public health and national security. Source: www.kumasimail.com 2:39
