The Daily Graphic discusses the fight against corruption. The paper believes it would come to naught if the Office of Special Prosecutor is not adequately resourced and supported to curb the growing canker. It calls on government to strengthen state institutions to stem systemic weaknesses that have created loopholes to facilitate unethical behaviour in public office. The Graphic calls for laws that bite deep as well as punish politicians who attribute everything to witch-hunting. 

The Ghanaian Times calls for clarification on the sudden mass failure of about 80 percent of students who sat for the Ghana School of Law bar examination. The paper wonders why the mass failure saying it is the first in the history of the country's premier law school. The Times says legal education and access to justice in Ghana is in crises. The paper therefore wishes that in as much as the Ghana Law School wants to maintain standards in law practice it should be mindful of its obligations under the SDG's of building an inclusive society in which all citizens will have access to justice. 

The Daily Heritage expresses worry about how products with Chinese labelling have flooded the market. It says consumers are exposed to the danger of taking in unwholesome products because many of them on the market have labelling which are not comprehensible. The paper says some importers still appear to be having a field day because the Ghana Standards Authority, GSA, is not doing enough to ensure that bogus products are not imported into the country. To the Daily Heritage, it is about time the Ghana Standards Authority enforced the laws to the letter.
