Bolt Food, a leading food and grocery delivery service, has marked its fourth anniversary in Ghana, since its launch in 2020.
Speaking at a media briefing in Accra last Thursday, the General Manager of Bolt Food, Ali Zaryab, said as part of its commitment to continuous growth and innovation, Bolt Food was now expanding into grocery delivery, offering customers a greater convenience and more options for their daily needs.
“This expansion is in line with Bolt’s broader mission to support and enhance the food and beverage ecosystem, which is integral to the vibrant, livable cities we all love,” he said.
He stated that the success of Bolt Foods over the past four years was deeply rooted in its partnerships with local restaurants, stores, and the dedicated courier partners who form the backbone of the service.
Mr Zaryab said in 2024, his outfit hopes to further strengthen these partnerships, bringing more businesses onto the platform and ensuring that couriers continue to benefit from full transparency and control over their earnings.
“Ghana has been a vital market for Bolt Food, and we couldn’t be prouder to celebrate four years of growth and success here. Our expansion into grocery delivery, a 24-hour delivery service and expansion to additional cities beyond Accra, represents our commitment to meeting the evolving needs of our customers while continuing to provide opportunities for our courier partners,” the General Manager of Bolt Food said.
Mr Zaryab said the company was committed to ensuring that couriers, who are at the core of the business, continue to thrive on the platform as Bolt Food grows and diversifies its offerings.
He reaffirmed Bolt Food’s dedication to innovation, customer satisfaction, and creating opportunities for its partners while looking forward to more years of growth and success in Ghana.

The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has taken note of public allegations of extortion and related conduct made against the Minority Leader of Parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin.
The allegations were made by the Chief Executive of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), Sammy Gyamfi.
In a brief statement, the OSP said it has also received a joint petition submitted by two persons, as well as two separate petitions from other persons, in relation to the same allegations.
“Given the nature of the allegations, the OSP will assess the case and determine whether it falls within its statutory mandate and whether further investigative action is warranted,” the statement said.
The development comes amid a heated public feud between the Minority in Parliament and the leadership of GoldBod over the operations of the Domestic Gold Purchase Programme.
The Minority, led by Afenyo-Markin, has accused GoldBod and the Bank of Ghana of causing a loss of over $1.7 billion, citing the International Monetary Fund’s August 2026 report. The Minority has vowed to pursue the matter as Parliament has reconvened for an emergency sitting.
GoldBod, on the other hand, has rejected claims by some NPP MPs, including Tano South MP Dr Gideon Boako, that it owes the Bank of Ghana GH¢1 billion in overdrafts, describing the claim as “false and malicious.”
In the latest twist, GoldBod CEO Sammy Gyamfi has accused the Minority Leader of extortion and related conduct, an allegation that has triggered petitions to the OSP.
The OSP is mandated under Act 959 to investigate and prosecute specific cases of alleged or suspected corruption and corruption-related offences involving public officers and politically exposed persons.

General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Kodua Frimpong, has filed his nomination to contest the position of General Secretary again as the party begins its rebuilding efforts ahead of the 2028 general elections.
He was accompanied by party stalwarts and supporters who were in high spirits, expressing confidence that he is the right person to hold the position.
Speaking after filing his nomination, Mr Kodua Frimpong assured the rank and file of the party that he would not disappoint them.
“I can assure you that the faith the rank and file of the party have had in me, I will never disappoint them,” he said.
He also pledged to run a clean campaign devoid of personal attacks.
“I can assure you that our internal campaign will be devoid of personal attacks,” he told his fellow contestants and the rank and file of the party as he seeks to retain his position.
His tenure has seen the party through the 2024 general elections, where the NPP lost power to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) after eight years in government.
The party is currently in a rebuilding phase, with internal elections scheduled to elect new national executives to lead its reorganization towards the 2028 polls.
The General Secretary position is considered one of the most influential in the party’s administrative structure, responsible for the day-to-day running of the party secretariat and implementation of party decisions.
