Outgoing President handing over to Ms Gborgblorvor
The Rotary Club of Obuasi has appointed Rotarian Delphine Gborgblorvor as the new president of the club.
She becomes the fifth president since the establishment of the club in 2019.
Her announcement and handover ceremony coincided with the official launch of the fifth anniversary of the Obuasi Rotary Club.
Miss Gborgblorvor comes into her new role with a rich experience in the health field and a zeal to serve humanity as the Rotary Club is noted for.
She has been a Rotary member in good standing and as president, she is expected to rely on her experience to drive the vision of the club in Obuasi.
She takes over from Godfrey Mwachande who has successfully served his term.
The new president said her leadership would be centred on Rotary International’s areas of focus which include promoting peace, fighting disease, providing clean water, sanitation, hygiene, saving mothers and children, supporting education, growing local economies, and protecting the environment.
She touched on activities lineup for the fifth anniversary, saying the club would continue to create hope in the world by implementing the ‘Magic of Rotary’ initiative, with some activities focused on promoting peace ahead of the 2024 elections.
Activities to promote peace ahead of the elections, she said, include peace walks, clean-up exercises and tree planting to remind Ghanaians the importance of maintaining peaceful co-existence before, during and after the December 7 election.

Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, has announced that the government has accepted the recommendation to abolish the death penalty and replace it with life imprisonment as part of the constitutional review process.
He said the proposed amendment would affect Articles 3, 13, 19 and 72 of the 1992 Constitution, with offences that previously attracted the death penalty instead carrying life imprisonment.
Dr. Ayine made the announcement on July 30, 2026, at the Jubilee House in Accra during the Government Accountability Series while outlining the government’s position on the final recommendations of the Constitution Review Committee.
According to him, the government believes the death penalty is inconsistent with the constitutional right to life and Ghana’s international human rights obligations.
He explained that the recommendation forms part of broader proposals aimed at strengthening the protection of fundamental human rights under the Constitution.
Dr. Ayine said the government had also accepted the spirit of several recommendations to expand rights relating to women, children, persons with disabilities, older persons and the youth.
He added that a comprehensive Human Rights Act would be introduced to protect these rights and provide detailed enforcement mechanisms instead of amending the entrenched provisions of the Constitution through a national referendum.

Speaking in an interview yesterday with World Media USA Today, the Minister said government is committed to creating a conducive investment environment to support growth in the sector.
She highlighted key investment areas including hotels, fashion, music, film production, and tourism infrastructure.
Dzifa Gomashie also encouraged Ghanaians to invest in domestic tourism to help boost the local economy.
According to her, strategic investment in tourism and the creative economy will drive economic transformation, create jobs, and position Ghana as Africa’s gateway for heritage, culture, business and investment.
“Ghana has vast opportunities across tourism, hospitality and the creative industries. We are ready and open for business,” she stated.
The Minister’s remarks come as government intensifies efforts to leverage culture and tourism as drivers of economic growth and job creation.
