Togbe Kofi Nyarku of Sovie has rendered an unqualified apology to Member of Parliament (MP) for Kpando, Hon Della Sowah for defamation of character and exposure to public harm.
Sometime in 2015, Della Sowah’s campaign manager in Sovie was murdered. Police during their investigations arrested a number of people including Togbe Kofi Nyarku also known as George Prika.
The murder led to a divided community. Togbe Prika blamed the MP for the area for their arrest and trial.
He wrongly accused her of being responsible for the divided community.
Togbe also wrongly accused Mrs.Sowah of installing a rival chief, Togbe Yaw Nyarku.
Della Sowah after defending herself for several years, took a bold step last year for a resolution of the issue, only for the Chief to repeat his allegations again to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) executives who paid a courtesy call on him.
According to Della Sowah that was the last straw that broke the camel’s back. She threatened legal action, leading to the Chief, rendering an unqualified apology.
In a letter of apology to the MP he stated “Since 2016 that I have been accusing you of being the brain behind the Sovie Chieftaincy issues for the first time you have officially written to me through your lawyers that you don’t have a hand in the Sovie Chieftaincy issue.”
He added, “For that matter, I am sincerely apologising to you through your lawyers, and I promise never to mention your name anywhere the Sovie Chieftaincy issue is concerned.”

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.
