2 Ghanaians create Cedispace to monitise underutilised spaces
Cedispace, a company founded by two Ghanaian-born Atlanta Georgia residents is making waves in the online market place with the introduction of its flagship service to centralise the space rental market by listing and finding available spaces effortlessly.
With the world constantly changing, people finding new ways to make residual income has given rise to a lot of online based opportunities for both the rental and service hosts to take advantage.
Cedispace platform allows you to list and rent people’s homes and properties for any event, activity or hustle on an hourly basis. Examples of these spaces you can rent or list are offices, video shoot studios and locations, garden spaces, apartments, houses, restaurant spaces, conference rooms, church auditoriums, soccer pitches and even your front compound.
In an interview, founder Marc Makoe Lavoe noted that, “Cedispace offers an exciting and bubbly urban scene where people can create unique experiences for their guests, brand followers, employees or group of friends, having access to a diverse range of places that were never visible and available to them before.”
Co-Founder, Felix Annoh-Quarshie Jr. also said that, “Cedispace community platform seeks to solve the problems in the difficulty of finding spaces, managing bookings, payment mobilization, host and guest profile review for security assurance for our platform and the Cedispace community.
“When you visit www.Cedispace.com you open yourself to a world of spaces owned by individuals who are willing to share their property for you to have your own event at very reduced costs.”
The Ghana Police Service has begun automated enforcement of road traffic laws under a new system dubbed Traffitech-GH.
In a statement signed by the Director-General of Public Affairs, Deputy Commissioner of Police Grace Ansah-Akrofi, the Service said the project officially took effect on November 1, 2026.
The system is being implemented by the Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD).
Under the initiative, motorists who commit traffic offences will receive an Electronic Notice of Violation (ENV).
The Police said motorists must first check that the notification comes from the official Sender ID, GPS-MTTD, adding that genuine notifications will not be sent from an ordinary mobile phone number.
Motorists are to open the ENV to confirm the vehicle’s photograph and number plate, as well as the location, date and time of the offence, and watch the video where available.
According to the police, payments can be made through the NIB Payment Portal.
The Police cautioned motorists and vehicle owners to remain vigilant against fraud and never pay a traffic fine into a personal mobile money number or through any unofficial account.
The Service expressed appreciation to the general public, particularly motorists, vehicle owners and transport operators, for their cooperation in promoting safer roads and ensuring compliance with road traffic laws.

The Director of Communications of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Miracles Aboagye, has taken a swipe at the government over the worsening cost of living in the country.
In a strongly worded statement, Aboagye said while the cost of living continues to skyrocket, the government keeps pointing Ghanaians to figures on paper.
According to him, the reality on the ground tells a different story:
Cocoa farmers have suffered a haircut, tertiary students are demonstrating over high fees and accommodation, teachers and nurses are striking over unpaid allowances, and judiciary workers are also on strike over unpaid allowances.
He added that transport fares, electricity, water, and fuel prices are all higher than before, making life unbearable for the ordinary Ghanaian.
“The cost of living and the pocket of the Ghanaian citizen keeps worsening but government says, don’t cry about the pocket when the paper looks good,” Aboagye said.
He summed up his criticism with the hashtags #PaperEconomyPocketDry and #PaperEconomyVsPocketEconomy — a direct jab at what he describes as a disconnect between official economic figures and the daily struggles of Ghanaians.
