This Saturday’s edition of JoyNews’ Newsfile is set to examine several pressing national issues, with particular focus on the controversial “Big Push” initiative. The panel will analyse the origins and motivations behind a newly launched probe into sole-sourced contracts associated with the project.
The programme will also address the ongoing illegal mining crisis following the government’s decision to suspend the contentious “Galamsey Tax,” which was previously exposed in a JoyNews documentary. Discussions are expected to centre on increasing calls for accountability, including demands for sanctions against Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs).
In addition, the panel will review President John Mahama’s recent engagements with civil society organisations, highlighting commitments related to governance, accountability, and national development policies.
The final segment will turn to sports, where panellists will debate the future of Black Stars head coach Otto Addo. Amid a series of inconsistent performances by the national team, opinions remain divided on whether a managerial change is necessary or if the coach is being unfairly blamed for the team’s challenges.
