A welcome and familiar face brought a surge of morale to the Black Stars training session in Stuttgart on Sunday, March 29, 2026 as midfielder Daniel Kofi Kyereh made a surprise appearance to support his teammates.

Kyereh, who has been sidelined by injury for close to three seasons, was all smiles as he greeted the squad, ahead of Ghana’s international friendly against Germany on Monday.

The 28-year-old Freiburg star, whose last national team appearance dates back to December 2022, was warmly embraced by his fellow Black Stars.

His presence was a poignant reminder of the talent the team has missed and a heartwarming display of camaraderie as Ghana prepares for the challenging encounter with the Germans.

Asante Kotoko head coach Eric Tinkler has admitted his side had to dig deep to secure their first win over Heart of Lions in 11 years.

Kotoko edged the Kpando-based side in a tough encounter, ending more than a decade without victory against Lions yesterday at the Baba Yara SportsStadium.

Speaking after the game, Tinkler said:
“We made things very difficult for ourselves. You can see Heart of Lions are a good team; they created chances, but we managed the game, and we created our chances.

According to him, ” Overall there is still a lot of work we have to do defensively. We struggled even when we played against 10 men.”

GBA President calls out Chief Justice over praise for state institutions

Published

The President of the Ghana Bar Association (GBA) has criticised Chief Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie over comments commending state-owned enterprises under the current administration.

She made the statement during her address at the 2026 Ghana Bar Association Conference in Ada.

The GBA President said the recent commendation and comparison of a state institution by no less a person than the Chief Justice left much to be desired.

“We do not want to believe that what happened was a fulfilment of Matthew 12:34, that out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks,” she said.

The comments relate to remarks made by Chief Justice Baffoe-Bonnie during working visits to the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) and the Minerals Income Investment Fund (MIIF) on Wednesday, September 2, 2026.

At MIIF, the Chief Justice praised the institution’s performance and said developments there had left him wondering what Ghana had been doing over the past eight years.

“I must congratulate you… we wonder; some of us keep wondering what really we have been doing in the past eight years,” he said. At SSNIT, he contrasted current operations with previous plans to sell assets like the Labadi Beach Hotel.

The remarks have drawn mixed reactions. The Judicial Service said the observations were made in good faith and were not intended to undermine judicial independence.

However, civil society groups and faith-based organisations have raised concerns.

CDD-Ghana said such commentary creates a perception of political bias and risks breaching the Code of Conduct for Judges, while the Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference said the Chief Justice could have commended the institutions without political comparisons.
