I agree wholeheartedly! He lived in the Castle as president with a leaking roof (because he did not want to inconvenience Ghanaians with a back-and-forth motorcade), he did not give “contracts” to family and friends leaving them in abject poverty, he flew commercial all the time thus diminishing the prestige of the presidency. As President, he refused to act decisively and to make Innovative and Bold decisions, preferring instead to consult widely (NDC and NPP friends alike) before acting. On every front, he set up commissions or advisory councils (the Economic Advisory Council, the EMT, the C ..read more

Some of us knew and have argued that this contract, especially the upstream petroleum component, was a non-starter in the first place and would have been surprised if KPMG had made any serious positive findings.

PPA did not grant initial single-source procurement, so GRA used the backdoor of engaging SML in 2018 through West Blue which had an existing contract providing servic ..read more

The conversation was about free speech and academic freedom. For those who are familiar with my politics. You would know that I consider myself a speech absolutist in some measure. I am a big proponent of Speech rights in all its facets. Let's put a pin that for now. I will come back to connect my being at Legon and why I am bringing this back. Now these past few weeks, universities across the North America and now Europe have been engulfed in an inten ..read more

Never forget that law students went on a demonstration regarding improving access to legal education and the Ghana Police poured hot water on them while they were walking peacefully. The subliminal message is power is power. Shut the fuck up! Never forget that an MP was slapped but the Police on live television and nothing came out of it. Never forget that an MP snatched ballot box in Parliament and nothing came out of it. Never forget that Armed Military Men were deployed into Parliament on the eve of a democratic transition, and nothing happened. Never forget that the Ashanti Regional minist ..read more

Ghanaians be like, the Constitution guarantees bla bla bla. And we are democracy ɛdiɛbɛndiɛbɛn. Then Domelovo happens. Talk for a few days, and move on. Then SALL happens; then 36 million Ghanaians can't even say this is where we draw the line. Then Techiman. And it's only 8 families mourning their dead alone. Then the President says I won't hand over power to the main opposition candidate. Radio silence.

At this point, I really want the G ..read more
