Teachers’ Strike, World Cup Visa Scandal & NPP Elections | The Big Issue

#TheBigIssue #GhanaPolitics #WorldCupVisaScandal The teachers’ strike, Ghana’s 2026 FIFA World Cup visa controversy and the fallout from the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) national elections take centre stage on The Big Issue with Umaru Sanda Amadu on Channel One TV. The programme brings together Jacob Anaba, Dr Bernard Okoe Boye, Prof. Titus Beyuo, Dr Nana Yaw Adutwum, Duncan Amoah and Wonder Sitsofe Mandel for discussions on labour relations, accountability, political leadership and the issues shaping Ghana’s public debate. TEACHERS’ STRIKE: WILL GOVERNMENT HONOUR ITS COMMITMENTS? Following the suspension of the strike by the teacher unions, the discussion examines outstanding promotion-related payments, deprived-area allowances and other conditions of service. NAGRAT President Jacob Anaba explains why the unions suspended rather than called off the industrial action, warning that the strike could resume if the promised deprived-area allowance is not implemented in January 2027. Prof. Titus Beyuo also stresses the need for government officials and the relevant institutions to fulfil the commitments made during negotiations, including assurances on promotion-related payments. The discussion considers what the suspension means for teachers, the government and the future of negotiations over working conditions. 2026 WORLD CUP VISA SAGA: WHO IS ACCOUNTABLE? The panel also examines the controversy surrounding visa arrangements for Ghanaians expected to travel in connection with the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Wonder Sitsofe Mandel, Special Aide to the Minister for Sports and Recreation, responds to questions about the arrangements coordinated by the Ministry and the inclusion of the Sports Minister’s driver on a list submitted for visa processing. He explains that the driver qualified for an official visa category as a police officer and government worker, and says the driver returned to Ghana on July 1.
