"Ghanaians are gone now, 300 of them. How many 300 jobs were created after the Ghanaians left." Julius Malema says blaming migrants for job losses deepens colonial divisions and that Ghana’s response risks blaming entire societies for the actions of a few people.

Today, we’re introducing Skills in @GoogleChrome, a new way to build one-click workflows for your most frequently used AI prompts — like asking for ingredient substitutions to make a recipe vegan, generating side-by-side shopping comparisons across multiple tabs, or scanning long docs to get the info you need quickly. When you write a prompt that you want to use again, you can save it as a Skill directly from your chat history. The next time you need it, select your saved Skill in Gemini in Chrome by typing forward slash ( / ) or clicking the plus sign ( + ) button, and your Skill will run on the page you’re viewing, along with any other tabs you select.

Congratulations to the Artemis II astronauts for the scientifically groundbreaking and exceedingly inspiring journey. For undertaking the farthest ever journey away from Earth and returning safely they have excellently demonstrated that there can be no boundaries to human ingenuity and courage. I can confirm that the Government of Ghana has conveyed through diplomatic channels its intention at a mutually agreed time for President Mahama to on behalf of the people of Ghana honour the only female astronaut, Christina Hammock Koch who studied at the University of Ghana and proudly celebrates her association with Ghana.

The data the Ministry of Roads and Highways provided to The Fourth Estate on the cost for the Rehabilitation of Dodo Pepesu - Nkwanta road was GHS 804 million. The same figure was captured on the Ministry’s website. But the Minister of Roads and Highways, Kwame Governs Agbodza, posted on social media that the cost for the Rehabilitation of Dodo Pepesu- Nkwanta road was rather GHS 683 million (see first frame). He said our figure was a misinformation and called on the public to disregard it. Incidentally, when President Mahama directed the Ministry to respond to our investigations, the Ministry deleted its data on the website. Now the data has been restored and guess what, the cost for the Rehabilitation of Dodo Pepesu and Nkwanta road is back to GHS 804 million (second frame), the same figure the Minister said was a misinformation. The inconsistency is staggering.
