In recent times, deepening economic growth, the oil find and increased urbanisation are fast changing the face of exhibitions, trade shows and fairs in the country.  It is in this light that the Daily Graphic welcomes two leading exhibitions for this month, the Agro Food and Plasprint Pack West Africa, which is currently taking place at the Accra International Conference Centre and the upcoming Oxford Street International Fair aimed at promoting made in Ghana goods. It says fairs and exhibitions are highly targeted, directed at essential customers and suppliers, and therefore become one of the cheapest ways of marketing products. The Graphic therefore urges Ghanaians product manufacturers and service providers, artisans and creative industry players to take part in such fairs to help them generate new markets for their products, expand their production and increase employment. 

The Ghanaian Times welcomes suggestions for the review of the law on criminal prosecution to allow training of more police prosecutors, giving them the requisite skills to do credible prosecution. This is because some police prosecutors arraign suspects before the courts with evidence sometimes leading to miscarriage of justice. The paper believes the training will breed new police prosecutors who are efficient and imbued with a sense of dignity and commitment to obtain justice for all, at all times.
 
The Herald challenges Imani Ghana to tell the public the amount of “Soli” it has paid to journalists since its establishment. According to the paper, Imani cannot accuse journalists who have over the years contributed meaning fully to democratic development. It says the apology the Executive Director IMANI, Franklin Cudjoe rendered cannot put the matter to rest. The Herald says journalists are not saints just as in any profession one will find bad nuts, however, one cannot lump all journalists and label them as “Soli’ takers.
