‘Newsfile’ set to unravel ORAL delays, NAIMOS invasion and Jakpa vs Dame this Saturday

Ghana’s most anticipated current affairs programme, Joy News’ Newsfile, is set to ignite national debate this Saturday, October 11, 2025, with a deep dive into three of the country’s most volatile legal and political controversies.

Hosted by Samson Lardy Anyenini, the three-hour programme, airing from 9:00 AM to 12:00 Noon, promises to unravel the complexities behind major alleged acts of corruption, the ‘galamsey’ menace, and high-profile legal clashes.

The programme’s focus will primarily address questions of justice, accountability, and the integrity of the state’s legal and mining institutions.

Topic 1: Oral—Legal Delay or Deal-Cutting Sabotage?

The first major segment will investigate a high-stakes legal matter under the banner: “ORAL: LEGAL DELAY OR DEAL-CUTTING SABOTAGE?”.

This segment is expected to analyse the procedural handling of a significant legal case and examine whether the observed delays are standard judicial processes or are the result of deliberate actions designed to subvert justice.

Discussions will likely centre on the impact of prolonged legal battles on public confidence and the potential for political interference in sensitive prosecutions.

Topic 2: NAIMOS—Rampage, Gold Under Rail, Kingpins?

The second, and potentially most explosive, topic will focus on the severe threat of illegal mining, asking: “NAIMOS: RAMPAGE, GOLD UNDER RAIL, KINGPINS?”

This segment promises to scrutinise the devastating environmental impact of ‘galamsey’ and the alleged scale of the operations, specifically addressing reports of gold mining activities taking place directly beneath crucial national infrastructure, such as railway lines.

This level of recklessness puts thousands of lives at risk and threatens critical transport links vital for economic activity.

The discussion will connect to the broader concerns about the failure to stop illegal mining, which has been labelled an “existential threat” to Ghana by civil society groups like OccupyGhana.

The panel is expected to confront the persistent issue of ‘kingpins’—the powerful sponsors of galamsey—who often evade prosecution despite the clear environmental devastation caused by their operations.

Topic 3: JAKPA VS DAME—Justice or Vendetta?

The final segment will dissect a high-profile personal and political clash: “JAKPA VS DAME: JUSTICE OR VENDETTA?”.

This segment will explore the intricate dynamics behind the clash between two significant political or public figures, examining whether the current legal or public confrontation is driven by a sincere pursuit of justice and accountability or is merely a manifestation of a personal or political ‘vendetta’.

The outcome of this discussion could have far-reaching implications for trust in political leadership and the mechanisms of public accountability.

Viewers are anticipating a candid and analytical discussion on these critical national issues, which will be available across Joy 99.7 FM, Joy News, and the station’s streaming and podcast platforms.
