Sweden's government invests over 100 million kronor in electric mopeds in Ghana to meet national climate goals, but the project faces sharp criticism from party leaders and experts following Aftonbladet's investigation. Concerns include ties to Russian interests, doubtful emission reductions, and subsidies to private companies. Several leaders describe the initiative as absurd and misguided.
Sports betting has rapidly expanded in Ghana, with 71% of the population having placed bets according to a 2025 GeoPoll report, predominantly among young people. This growth, fueled by smartphone access and mobile money, has prompted warnings from health experts about rising addiction and psychological distress. In May 2025, the Gaming Commission partnered with the Mental Health Authority to launch university awareness campaigns addressing the crisis.
