LIVESTREAMING: 'Newsfile' on JoyNews

The Supreme Court this week dismissed a suit brought against it challenging the constitutionality of the processes leading to the creation of new regions in the country. The result is that only residents of affected areas will be allowed to vote. 50% of natives are to turn up at the polling centres with 80% of them voting for the creation of the region as a requirement for the successful creation of regions. Despite the ruling, there are still some lingering issues that have been the centre of discussion in the course of the week. These issues will be discussed on Newfile today.

Also up for discussion is the intermittent power outages being experienced in some parts of the country. The Energy Minister, Peter Amewu has taken responsibility for the outages which he blamed largely n huge debts in the sector. Despite his assurances that the situation will improve some experts say there are still issues that need to be addressed aside from the debt situation.

Barely two weeks after the country's biggest opposition party went to the polls to elect new National Executives, the party has issued guidelines for the filing of nominations for the flagbearer hopefuls. Picking of nomination forms costs GHC20, 000 whiles filing of nomination has been pegged at GHC400, 000. This has caused many to question the fundamentals of the party and the principles it claims to be built on. General Secretary of the party has defended the amount and challenged hopefuls to show their seriousness by raising funds to foot the cost. Matter arising from this will also be discussed on this week's edition of Newfile.
