Livestream: Newsfile discusses IMF cash delay, SDA’s petition to EC
On Friday evening, the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta announced that Ghana will receive the second tranche of the $3 billion International Monetary Fund Extended Credit Facility (ECF).
This comes after the credit facility endorsed the first review of Ghana’s IMF programme. At a press conference, Mr Ofri-Atta noted that the approval unlocked a $600 million disbursement from the IMF.
Also, the Seventh-Day Adventist Church, earlier this week petitioned the Electoral Commission to amend the December 7 general election day. This, the church said, is because the date falls on a Saturday, which will conflict with the Sabbath, a holy day dedicated to the worship of God.
