Must ReadOn July 15, 2026, the University of Mines and Technology UMaT and Ing. Professor Douglas K Boateng launched the world's first Artificial Intelligence-powered Supply Chain Management Compendium. This platform, developed by Professor Boateng, transforms his 2013 Supply Chain Management Compendium into a continuously evolving intelligence ecosystem. It aims to make supply chain knowledge accessible globally, from students in Tarkwa to procurement officers in Nairobi, and researchers in London or New York. Users can engage with, challenge, and build upon thousands of curated supply chain concepts through natural language conversation. Professor Boateng stated that AI is democratizing knowledge, calling it a contribution from Africa to the world. Professor Richard Amankwah, Vice Chancellor of UMaT, highlighted that this collaboration demonstrates African universities and scholars can lead global innovation. The compendium addresses the deficit of accessible knowledge for supply chain professionals across Africa, providing immediate, actionable intelligence for public sector procurement, healthcare supply chain management, infrastructure projects, and private enterprises. Conceived in South Africa and developed in Ghana, the platform supports the African Continental Free Trade Area and local content programs, fostering shared understanding and strengthening industries across the continent.

Deputy Attorney-General Justice Srem-Sai revealed that bankers of former National Food Buffer Stock Company NAFCO Chief Executive Officer Hanan Aludiba notified authorities after he allegedly tried to access funds in a frozen account. Justice Srem-Sai stated that investigators were informed by the financial institution, which detected a suspicious attempt to lift account restrictions, rather than monitoring Aludiba's banking activities independently. Speaking on TV3's Hot Issues, he dismissed claims that prosecutors were "nosing around" Aludiba's financial affairs, explaining that the bank alerted them to the situation. Aludiba, reportedly aware of the court order freezing the account, allegedly attempted to persuade the bank to restore access. The bank declined the request and informed investigators, leading to further action by the prosecution. Justice Srem-Sai indicated that this incident contributed to the prosecution's assessment that Aludiba posed a greater flight risk, especially after learning of his travel plans, including luggage for a trip to the United Kingdom. He also refuted reports that a court later granted Aludiba travel permission, asserting that the initial travel timeline had expired and no new application was made or approved.
Deputy Attorney-General, Dr Justice Srem-Sai, has rejected assertions by Dennis Miracles Aboagye, a New Patriotic Party communications team member, that he was not questioned by Economic and Organised Crime Office investigators about alleged financial irregularities amounting to GH垄55 million involving the Inter-Ministerial Coordinating Committee on Decentralisation. Dr Srem-Sai stated on TV3's Hot Issues that Aboagye's claim was "completely wrong" and confirmed that the matter was part of his interrogation. He emphasized that law enforcement agencies are not obligated to publicly respond to claims made during ongoing investigations, and that evidence would be presented in court. Dr Srem-Sai also advised the public against interpreting the silence of investigative bodies as confirmation of statements from those under investigation.
