The Ghana Bloggers Association is asking the management of Surfline Ghana Limited, providers of internet data to refund monies used to purchase data by an uncountable number of people in the country without actually receiving the data.
Ghanaians have been faced with unsuccessful data purchases from Surfline, one of the major providers in the telecommunications industry for about three months now.
In a Facebook post, the Association revealed that for the past three months, Surfline Communication Limited has received various amounts of monies from their members and a section of the general public who attempted to purchase internet data but proved futile.
“It is surprising that in a space of three months, Surfline as a corporate institution has not refunded the payments they received to Ghanaians for such a huge failure to provide services to its customers.
Members of the Ghana Bloggers Association and the general public have given them ample time but unfortunately, there has been no promising feedback.
“We are asking the management of Surfline Communication Limited, providers of internet data to refund monies used to purchase data by an uncountable number of people in the country without actually receiving the data,”they stated on Facebook
In a separate chat with the President of the Association Andre Mustapha Nii Okai Inusah, popularly known as Attractive Mustapha, added that they sympathise with the company for their technical challenges but they should not have taken monies from the public when they know for a fact that they are not rendering services”, the President of the Association stated.
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has directed all aspirants campaigning in the Greater Accra Region to suspend their campaign activities on August 5 and 6 and instead mobilise supporters for the party’s planned “Democracy Under Attack” demonstration.
The directive was issued by the party’s National Steering Committee in a statement signed by the NPP General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, on Tuesday.
According to the statement, the decision forms part of efforts to ensure a strong turnout for the demonstration, which is scheduled for Thursday, August 6, 2026.
The party said the protest would begin at 5:00 a.m., with participants expected to gather at the Supreme Court in Accra.
It further directed Regional, Constituency and Polling Station Executives in Greater Accra to work closely to mobilise members and supporters for the event.
“The National Steering Committee is calling on all aspirants currently campaigning across the Greater Accra Region to temporarily suspend their campaign activities on the 5th and 6th of August and join in mobilising support for the upcoming demonstration,” the statement noted.
The NPP appealed to party members and supporters to remain peaceful, disciplined and orderly throughout the protest.
The demonstration forms part of the party’s response to concerns it has raised over issues relating to Ghana’s democratic governance and the justice system.
The NPP leadership expressed confidence that party members would cooperate fully to ensure a successful and peaceful event.

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.
