Liverpool FC have announced the immediate departure of head coach Arne Slot, bringing an end to a two-year spell that included Premier League success and consecutive Champions League qualification campaigns.

The club confirmed on Saturday that work has already begun to identify and appoint a new manager following Slot’s exit.

Slot arrived at Anfield in June 2024 and made an immediate impact, steering Liverpool to their 20th English league title in his debut season. His achievements during the 2024-25 campaign earned him the LMA Manager of the Year award, while the Reds also progressed to the Carabao Cup final and the Champions League round of 16.

The Dutch coach followed up that title-winning season by securing another top-four finish in 2025-26, ensuring Liverpool’s return to Europe’s elite competition. The club also advanced to the quarter-finals of the Champions League during that campaign.

In a joint statement, Liverpool’s owners paid tribute to Slot’s contribution on and off the pitch, while explaining the reasoning behind the decision to part ways.

Parliament has approved the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, 2025, reviving one of Ghana’s most hotly debated pieces of legislation after introducing a number of amendments to its provisions.

Commonly referred to as the anti-gay bill, the legislation seeks to criminalise LGBTQ activities in Ghana. However, lawmakers included new exemptions that shield certain professionals and institutions from penalties that could arise under the proposed law.

Among those exempted are lawyers who provide legal counsel or representation to individuals identified as LGBTQ. Under the amended bill, legal practitioners carrying out their professional duties will not face sanctions.

Journalists and media organisations have also been excluded from punishment when reporting on LGBTQ-related matters as part of legitimate news coverage and current affairs reporting. The same protection extends to healthcare professionals, including doctors, surgeons, psychologists and counsellors who offer medical, psychological or therapeutic services to LGBTQ persons.

The amendments triggered strong resistance from the Minority Caucus, which argued that the changes effectively acknowledge shortcomings in the version of the bill that had previously been forwarded to former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for assent.

Despite those objections, Parliament proceeded to pass the amended legislation.

The first group of Ghanaian nationals evacuated from South Africa has landed in Ghana, arriving at about 3:00 pm on Wednesday, May 27 at Accra International Airport.

Their return comes after government assurances that any Ghanaian in South Africa who wished to come home would be assisted, following reports of xenophobic attacks in parts of the country. The evacuees in this initial batch number 300.

Ahead of the arrivals, authorities had outlined a support framework for those being brought back. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in a public notice, stated that arrangements were in place to ensure safe return and smooth reintegration for affected citizens.

According to the statement, all evacuees will be enrolled in a package of assistance measures intended to help them re-establish themselves in Ghana.

As part of the immediate relief response, returnees are expected to receive a “Welcome Home Financial Package” from the government.

Lawyers representing the detained Member of Parliament for Asante Akim North, Ohene Kwame Frimpong, have moved to secure his release by filing a bail application before a Dutch court, according to disclosures by Majority Chief Whip Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor. The development comes amid reports that the legislator is being investigated in the Netherlands over suspected fraud and money laundering.

Speaking on Joy FM’s PM Express programme, the South Dayi MP confirmed that Dutch authorities are handling the matter as part of broader financial crime inquiries. He stressed that no judicial body has reached a verdict and maintained that the MP remains protected by the principle of presumption of innocence.

According to him, the allegations should not be treated as settled facts. “It is an allegation, my brother,” Mr Dafeamekpor said during the interview, urging restraint as investigations continue.

He further revealed that the bail application was submitted on Tuesday, with the legal team pushing for a hearing within the week. He expressed confidence that the court would consider granting temporary release while the case is still under investigation.

Nearly seven years after its licence was revoked during Ghana’s banking sector clean-up, GN Savings and Loans Company Limited has secured a major legal victory at the Court of Appeal.

In a unanimous ruling, a three-member panel overturned the earlier High Court judgment that had affirmed the Bank of Ghana’s decision to revoke the company’s operating licence. The appellate court held that the revocation was unfair and unreasonable.

The judgment effectively nullifies both the Bank of Ghana’s decision to shut down GN Savings and Loans and the subsequent High Court ruling that backed the action.

The court also directed the receiver to return possession, management, control of assets and all related operations of the company to its shareholders.
