Paul Mackenzie was sentenced for 191 murders, 190 of them children, after Kenyan police had reports about him from 2017. In Ghana, churches register like companies, and chaining in prayer camps, banned since 2012, was still documented in 2023.

Ask for explanation: QMS checked every number in Bawumia's Tokyo answer on gold, the $1.7bn loss, MoMo and ECG
Former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia is right that the gold programme lost over US$1.7bn in 2025 and that the new government sold about half the gold. He left out that the programme also lost money in his last year, that the pile was made bigger before it was sold, and that interoperability carries about 1% of mobile money value.

Researched like a newsroom. Built like a studio.
A story trends in the morning. By the evening it is a finished episode with sources on screen. This is the order it happens in.
01
Brief.
Who, what, when, and what was actually said, word for word, before anyone writes a line.
02
Angle.
QMS shows have a point of view. Qwofi decides the take.
03
Script.
Written for the ear. Every factual line is checked against two independent sources.
04
Voice.
One narrator for the network. Ghanaian names are checked for pronunciation first.
05
Build.
Every story gets its own world of pictures, motion and sound. Mixed to broadcast loudness.
06
Publish.
The master on YouTube, the full reel on every other platform, the story on QMS News.
Receipts over vibes.
Every claim traces back to a real source, and the source is on screen.
No party, no fear.
People in office are judged on their own words and record, whichever side they're on.
Craft cashes the cheque.
Reach gets attention. Finish, sound and design are what keep it and get it paid.
The shows are the showreel.
Brands see the craft every day on the network, then hire the studio behind it.
