The
Ghana Association of Western Australia Inc is relatively new compared
to its counterparts in the Eastern states. Until the late 1990s the
few Ghanaians who lived in WA hardly met as a group except for the
occasional mutual meetings to socialize.
This
website will provide a central place for Ghanians in WA to keep
abreast of news and events. And, it will provide a means of
interaction between our members.

 The Minister of
Chieftaincy and Culture, Mr. Samson Kweku Boafo informed Ghana Home
Page this morning that he will definitely attend Ghanafest 2008 in
Chicago on Saturday, July 26 2008. Mr. S.K Boafo is scheduled for an
event in New York but decided to detour to Chicago to grace the
function.
Officials of the Ghana National Council were scratching their
heads yesterday to find a new keynote speaker after the original
speaker, Ghana’s Ambassador to the U.S.A; Dr. Kwame Bawua-Edusei pulled
out at the last minute and refused to send an official from the Embassy
to deputize for him.
Sponsored by the City of Chicago, Ghanafest is one of the fastest
growing neighborhood festivals in the Chicago area and the largest
Ghanaian Cultural festival in the diaspora. Last year, it attracted
over twenty thousand attendees. Attendance this year is expected to be
higher. Many Ghanaian and tourist organizations have called the
organizers to reserve a spot for their members!

Tsatsu Tsikata yesterday
held the Supreme Court to ransom when he expressed misgivings over the
empanelling of Mr Justice Annin Yeboah as a replacement on the panel to
hear his motion to quash the Fast Track High Court judgement which has
incarcerated him for five years.
For the second time within a
week, the action by the jailed former Chief Executive of the Ghana
National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) forced the court to adjourn its
proceedings sine die (indefinitely).
At the
court's sitting last Wednesday, Tsikata sprang a surprise by telling
the packed court that he objected to the empanelling of Mr Justi
ce S.A.
Brobbey to hear the matter because the judge had conducted
investigations into allegations of bias against the trial judge, Mrs
Justice Henrietta Abban, who sentenced him.
Tsikata,
after drawing the court's attention yesterday to the fact that Mr
Justice Annin Yeboah was part of the panel at the Court of Appeal to
hear his appeal regarding the immunity of the International Finance
Corporation (IFC) to testify for him, said he wanted the judge to go
ahead to be part of the panel but Mr Justice Annin Yeboah recluded
himself from the hearing.
