54 m. ago A year on, CAF yet to pay Kobby Spiky in his fight for Creative Justice

Accra, Ghana – It's been more than a year since Ghanaian music producer Kobby Spiky Nkrumah secured a landmark victory against the Confederation of African Football (CAF) in the High Court in Accra. On July 17, 2024, the court ruled that CAF had illegally used Spiky's original track, "Okomfo Anokye," in promotional materials for the 2018 CAF Awards without his permission, a clear violation of his copyright. The court awarded Spiky $250,000 in damages, a judgment firmly rooted in Ghana's Copyright Act, 2005 (Act 690), which stipulates financial penalties for the unauthorised use of copyrighted material. This wasn't just a win for Spiky; it was a beacon of hope for creative professionals across Africa who frequently face the uphill battle of protecting their intellectual property.

31 h. ago KNUST and the Death of Applied Knowledge: A National Embarrassment in Full View

Whenever I drive through some of our public universities, particularly those outside Accra, I am struck by a disturbing contradiction: these institutions with large populations, located in regions rich in raw materials and surrounded by skilled artisans and small-scale industries, remain visibly underdeveloped, deprived, and utterly dependent. They do not produce much for themselves, and worse, they do not seem to see the need to. Let us take the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Ghana’s premier institution for science, technology, and innovation. With over 85,000 students, sprawling departments in engineering, applied sciences, art, agriculture, and architecture, and a location in the craft and industry-rich Ashanti region, one would expect this university to be a hotbed of functional innovation, a self-sustaining ecosystem, and a driver of local economic transformation.

3 d. ago Violence by Proxy in Annoh Dompreh’s Remarks and Hawa Koomson’s Actions

The fire that consumes your neighbour's house will eventually destroy your own. The violence and impunity that have surfaced in Ghana's key elections, by-elections, and reruns are a warning sign that the country's democracy is at a crossroads, and leaders and citizens must work together to create a more peaceful and just society.
