The sanitation guards popularly known as "Tankas" were brought back to help keep our communities clean and enforce sanitation laws. They started with GHS 70 a month in 2008. In 2012, it increased to just GHS 100 - and many say they were hardly paid at all. Unable to... show more

In 2008, the government in partnership with Zoomlion attempted to revitalize the work of the once feared health inspectors, popular known as, “Samansaman” or “Tankas”, across the country. To achieve this aim, 4,000 sanitation guards were recruited. However, nearly two decades later, although the supervisors of these guards say the programme has effectively collapsed, Zoomlion was paid over GHS 37 million in 2022 to manage the same number of guards recruited in 2008. The guards tell The Fourth Estate that most of their colleagues have quit due to the non-payment of their allowances. The Minister of Local Government, Ahmed Ibrahim, has refused to provide information on the project. Zoomlion has also not responded to an interview request. Read more:

The Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) has officially deployed a sanitation enforcement task force, popularly known as “Saman Saman” or “Tankas,” across the metropolis to intensify the enforcement of sanitation regulations. As part of the exercise, sanitation officers inspected communities, engaged residents, and arrested individuals who allegedly failed to comply with the Assembly’s sanitation by-laws. The suspects were subsequently processed at the Prempeh Assembly Hall District Court. The KMA has urged residents to keep their homes, streets, and gutters clean, stressing that the citywide enforcement exercise will continue as part of efforts to improve sanitation and reduce the risk of flooding.

The scenes of an MP ordering a bank and private businesses to shut down in the name of a national clean-up raise two fundamental questions of Where she derives that authority & who empowered her to enforce presidential directives. A presidential appeal for a national clean-up is not a military decree that authorises MPs to compel compliance from citizens or private institutions. The constitutional duty of an MP of is to make laws and hold the Executive accountable & not to enforce executive directives. No serious country relies on periodic clean-up exercises as its sanitation strategy. I have never believed that occasional communal labour is the answer to Ghana's chronic waste management crisis or perennial flooding. slogans about building a cleanliness culture don’t exist anywhere in the world. No country has such a culture. What those countries rather have are sanitation budgets, sanitation personnel, effective sanitation institutions and the political will to enforce sanitation laws. Clean environments are built on systems, not volunteerism. Finally, we must stop confusing populism with public policy. Effective waste management is a professional public service planned, funded and executed by institutions with the technical capacity backed by consistent enforcement of sanitation laws. Ghana deserves institutional competence & sanitation policies over symbolic gestures and political optics!

MINDSET CHANGE: THE FOUNDATION OF A CLEANER GHANA Sanitation is not just about sweeping streets or clearing drains,it begins with the way people think. A nation’s environment is a reflection of its mindset. When citizens believe that keeping their surroundings clean is everyone’s responsibility, cleaner communities become a natural outcome. In Ghana, many sanitation challenges such as indiscriminate dumping of waste, littering, open defecation, and choked drains are driven more by attitudes than by a lack of infrastructure. Changing this mindset means helping people understand that every piece of waste thrown into a drain, every wetland encroached upon, and every act of negligence has consequences for the entire community. A positive sanitation mindset encourages individuals to dispose of waste responsibly, participate in community clean-up exercises, protect public spaces, and hold themselves accountable rather than waiting for government intervention. It also inspires businesses, schools, and local leaders to become active partners in protecting the environment. When mindset changes, behavior changes. When behavior changes, communities become cleaner, flooding is reduced, public health improves, tourism grows, and national development accelerates. Ultimately, transforming sanitation in Ghana is not just about providing more bins or collecting more waste,it is about creating a culture where every citizen sees environmental cleanliness as a personal duty. A cleaner Ghana begins with a changed mindset.

An elderly fishmonger was left devastated, shedding tears after discovering she had been paid GHS 800 in counterfeit notes by an unidentified individual who bought all her smoked fish near Korle Bu. According to the woman, she was selling by the roadside when a man on a motorbike approached and offered to buy all her fish. She quoted GHS 950 for the goods, but they negotiated the price down to GHS 800, which he paid. It wasn’t until she boarded a vehicle and attempted to pay her fare with part of the money that the driver pointed out the cedi notes were fake. Initially, she didn’t believe him, leading to a brief altercation.

📊 Understanding Stock Prices on the Ghana Stock Exchange Using CalBank as an Example! If you’ve ever wondered why a stock’s price keeps changing, this one’s for you. 👇 CalBank’s share price has moved through some interesting levels: 📍 GHS 0.72 → Starting point 📉 GHS 0.36 → Price drops — more sellers than buyers 📈 GHS 0.60 → Recovery begins — demand picks up 📈 GHS 0.81 → Bullish momentum — buyers are in control So what’s really driving these moves? Sell Volume. 🔑 Here’s how it works 👇 🔴 When sell volume is HIGH more people are offloading their shares than buying. This creates an oversupply, and the price drops. That’s how CalBank went from GHS 0.72 to GHS 0.36. 🟡 When sell volume starts to DROP the selling pressure eases. Buyers begin to step in, demand grows, and the price starts recovering. GHS 0.36 to GHS 0.60. 🟢 When buy volume OUTWEIGHS sell volume confidence returns to the market. Investors are accumulating, and the price climbs. GHS 0.60 to GHS 0.81 is a perfect example of this. 💡 The simple rule: More sellers = Price falls. More buyers = Price rises. The Ghana Stock Exchange moves on supply and demand just like any market. Understanding volume is one of the first steps to becoming a smarter investor. #GhanaStockExchange #GSE #StockMarket #InvestingInGhana #Shares

One week after the devastating June 29 floods that claimed lives and displaced hundreds in Accra, the scars of the disaster remain visible. In communities such as Alajo, Avenor and Adabraka, among the hardest hit, gutters are still lined with refuse and debris, raising concerns about the city's flood preparedness. As The1957News toured these communities to document the aftermath, the Presidency announced that President John Mahama had declared July 10 and 11 as National General Cleaning Days in flood-affected areas across the country, in a bid to restore sanitation and reduce the risk of further flooding. But beyond the two-day clean-up exercise, the critical question remains: what lasting measures will be taken to keep drains clear, improve waste management, and prevent another flood disaster?

A prisoner at the Nsawam Medium Security Prison, who was presenting himself as a marine engineer in the US on Facebook, has defrauded a lady from Kumasi, who worked as a househelp in Dubai, out of over GHS 30,000 and has attempted to blackma!l her with her nàked v!deos. According to the lady, she was working as a househelp in Dubai when she met a man named Sadat on Facebook, who claimed to be a marine engineer working at sea in the US. Over time, they developed a relationship through phone and video calls. Sadat introduced her to a woman he said was his mother in Ghana, and they discussed marriage. Eventually, Sadat and the woman convinced her to leave her job in Dubai and travel to Ghana for the traditional marriage. Sadat claimed he was shipping a container with wedding items, but when it arrived, she was told she had to pay GHS 30,000 at the port to clear the goods. She managed to pay half of the amount. Later, a man claiming to be the driver delivering the container said it had been intercepted by Customs officers, and she borrowed more money to cover an additional GHS 15,000. However, the container was never delivered, and upon realizing it was a scam, she collapsed.

Your Excellency, I respectfully draw your attention to a recent video circulating publicly showing two women disposing of waste from their bins directly into running rainwater. This act reflects a concerning disregard for environmental sanitation and the collective responsibility we share in protecting our waterways and communities. I kindly urge your office, in collaboration with the appropriate municipal and environmental authorities, to strengthen public education on proper waste disposal and to enforce existing sanitation regulations consistently. Visible enforcement and sustained civic education will help set the right example and deter such harmful practices.

Four brothers serving as SNA and NISA soldiers say their home was demolished in Mogadishu while they were on the front lines, leaving their children homeless. They say they were asked to pay $18,000 to keep their home, but each earns just $200 a month and cannot afford it.

The "glitch" was the steal. Dominion's engineered feature, designed with a backdoor to manipulate and watch elections in real time, and calculate how many votes they needed with an algorithm to create the results they wanted to create. The DOJ, FBI, and Intelligence communities knew all about our elections being rigged because many of them were involved. Sidney is right about not going to just sit around and let this happen in a country that is supposed to be free. Keep pushing back America and DEMAND change and accountability. There is NO other option.

Sanitation and nutrition played a large part in the elimination of diseases in the late 1800’s - early 1900’s. Many people today don’t realise such things as homes having electricity and refrigerators, having flushable toilets, clean water, rubbish removal services, and access to good food, and homes with seperate rooms and bedrooms isn’t something our previous generations had access to. As living conditions improved, disease and death to disease went down. But now these generations are no longer with us, we only hear the story of how it was a medical procedure that stopped disease. Investigate and you will see deaths rates were almost at zero before the medical procedures came out. Also investigate the world and you will soon seen that disease still thrives in parts of the world where nutrition and sanitation are still very much lacking.

Baltimore Pride event organizers ordered armed guards to follow me around at the Pride festival in Baltimore, Maryland. The guards acted as a LGBTQ+ gestapo when they approached me demanding that I turn my camera off and leave the event. I refused and asserted my constitutionally protected rights to document demonstrations and exist on public property. Once tensions started to escalate, I informed a police officer about the situation. The officer told the goons that they were not allowed to follow me. They then admitted that they were just following orders from the Baltimore Pride event organizers. Do you think these “security guards” were trying to intimidate me?
