#GHANA: SEVEN WOMEN ARRESTED IN CRACKDOWN ON ‘MONEY BOUQUETS’ Ghanaian authorities have arrested seven women accused of making decorative bouquets and cakes from banknotes, as the Bank of Ghana intensifies its crackdown on what it terms misuse of the country’s currency. Police carried out the arrests at several locations in Accra on Monday, targeting the increasingly popular practice of presenting cash‑made gifts at birthdays, weddings, and graduation ceremonies. The central bank, in a July notice, warned that using cedi notes for decorations violates the Currency Act, with offenders facing fines or imprisonment. “This practice constitutes improper use of the currency and is a violation of the law,” said Dinah Bonzi, head of the statistics office at the Currency Management Department.

#BREAKING: UHURU KENYATTA RESIGNS AS AZIMIO LA UMOJA CHAIRPERSON Former President of Kenya, Uhuru Kenyatta, has resigned as chairperson of the Azimio la Umoja–One Kenya Coalition Council, marking a significant shift in the opposition coalition’s leadership.

The move has already sparked controversy over succession, with debate intensifying between supporters of Ex-DP Rigathi Gachagua and those backing Siaya Governor James Orengo as potential replacements.

#UGANDA: HIGH COURT STRIKES OUT 97 AFFIDAVITS IN NUP PETITION ON KAMPALA CENTRAL ELECTION The High Court in Kampala has struck out 97 affidavits filed by National Unity Platform (NUP) Secretary General David Lewis Rubongoya, delivering a major setback to his petition challenging the election of Kampala Central MP Minsa Kabanda Nabbengo. Justice Flavia Nabakooza Kalungi ruled that the affidavits, submitted months after the petition was lodged, were irregularly introduced without leave of court and therefore expunged from the record. Rubongoya’s petition had alleged altered results forms, voter intimidation, ballot stuffing, and questions over Kabanda’s eligibility, but the removal of the affidavits significantly weakens his case. Kabanda, who was declared winner with 22,280 votes against Rubongoya’s 18,211, has maintained her victory was legitimate. The Electoral Commission also defended the results, arguing the late affidavits were an attempt to introduce fresh evidence outside the legal timeframe.
