0 The popular current affairs programme, *Newsfile*, will delve into two major national issues—the first budget of President John Dramani Mahama’s second term and the recent dismissal of Dr George Akuffo Dampare as Inspector General of Police (IGP).
The discussion is currently streamed live and is featuring leading political analysts, economic experts, and security professionals, offering insights into the implications of these developments.
A key focus of the programme was the 2025 budget, which was recently presented to Parliament by Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson.
Panellists will examine the government’s fiscal policies, revenue generation strategies, and expenditure priorities, particularly in light of Ghana’s economic recovery efforts.
Discussions will be centred on how the budget addresses job creation, infrastructural development, and social intervention programmes aimed at improving livelihoods.
The dismissal of Dr Dampare as IGP will also take centre stage, with legal and security experts debating the rationale behind his removal and its potential impact on law enforcement.
Already, some panellists argued that his tenure had introduced key policing reforms, improving public confidence in the Ghana Police Service.
Others, however, suggested that leadership changes were necessary for greater efficiency and a renewed approach to tackling security challenges.
Throughout the programme, political commentators will weigh in on the broader political implications of these developments.
*Newsfile* remains one of Ghana’s most influential platforms for in-depth discussions on governance and national affairs.
This latest episode will provide a balanced and informative analysis, shedding light on key issues that will shape the country’s political and economic landscape in the coming months.
