@SIKAOFFICIAL1 See the comments by the foolish and weak males. Insulting a man based on the words of a female, no proof, no evidence, just insulting their fellow Men over the words of a female. Foolish idiots

You’re a dishonest character who shouldn’t be expressing opinions on the conduct of anybody.

You are watching a show where one individual (ME) allows his co-panelists to speak but when it’s his turn, the others jump to mess up the show, then you come put the two together into one bracket and say you’re assessing their conduct.

I say, NONSENSE!!

There is a Chinese bio-methanol and ethanol manufacturing company (let's call it SBML) located in Juapong within the North Tongu Constituency of the Volta Region in Ghana. Information reaching me from farmers in the district is that the company has stopped buying fresh cassava from the enclave and now buys from Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Benin, and Togo.

This may be due to the exchange rate and the fact that they get it cheaper from the neighboring countries. The company was previously buying from farmers in the locality when the cedi was trading at GH¢15–GH¢16 to the dollar.

At that time, they were buying from the farmers at GH¢1,200 per ton, which was very favorable.

Currently, the farmers are experiencing losses and can tell you factually that the company is NOT buying at all.

@SammyGyamfi_ At the port, not all agencies are on the integrated customs management system(ICUMS). Agencies NOT on this system INCLUDES NACOC. So there is no way they could be drawn into any joint examination through an electronic means. Sammy is spot on with the facts

This new block will provide specialised departments and units including:
• Obstetrics and Gynaecology Wards
• Labour and Delivery Suites
• Operating Theatres
• Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)
• High Dependency Unit (HDU)
• Intensive Care Unit (ICU)
• IVF and Assisted Reproductive Technology Centre

I don’t get it. You have received a sole-sourced contract to build a road. You say you’re competent to build the road. The government is funding the project. So why exactly are you not working?

Is the money not coming? Were you not prepared for this project?

But perhaps most importantly, why must it take the minister travelling from Accra to see that the contractor isn’t working?

Doesn’t the Highway Authority have regional offices? What about the municipal bosses? Who is monitoring these projects on the ground beyond the occasional ministerial visits?

@KwabenaOA I am happy we are having a sustainable convo on this AI thing. It's quite detrimental to our thought process. My fear I read is how AI is rather doing the work for us rather than helping us to do the work.

1. The short answer is yes, and if anything, the figure is conservative. Let me show the math using a standard employment-content calculation.

2. First, some fundamentals. Infrastructure jobs are measured in job-years: one full-time position for 12 months. A labourer engaged for 6 months counts as half a job-year. This is how the ILO, the World Bank and every serious infrastructure agency counts construction employment.

3. Second, the DIRECT JOBS. Roughly a tenth of an expressway budget goes to on-site labour: labourers, plant operators, artisans, engineers and supervisors. For a project of this size, that is in the region of US$400 to 500 million [based on comparable projects]. Divide by the blended cost of employing one person for a year, including accommodation, transport and safety kit (about US$10,000), and you get roughly 38,000 to 48,000 direct job-years during construction. I use the lower figure of 38,000 below.

4. Third, the INDIRECT JOBS. Every truckload of aggregate from a quarry, every bag of cement, every haulage contract and every caterer is a job created by project spending. Domestic purchases of even US$1.2 to 1.5 billion support roughly 12,000 to 14,000 further job-years in QUARRYING, CEMENT, HAULAGE AND SERVICES, once the suppliers' own suppliers are counted. Note: this excludes imported bitumen, steel and equipment, which create no Ghanaian jobs beyond port handling.

5. That gives a combined figure of about 50,000 job-years, within a plausible range of 38,000 to 70,000 depending on labour share, wage levels and import content. Averaged over a 30-month build, that is about 20,000 people employed at any one time, and because road labour turns over quickly, well over 50,000 individuals will likely earn a wage from the project before it opens.

6. So 30,000 is not an exaggeration: it is the floor [a conservative estimate].

7. The lasting employment effect will come from the logistics hubs, industrial parks and market access the corridor enables, and that is a separate calculation. Also, the indirect number depends heavily on how much is sourced locally. By my estimate, every ten percentage points of project spending shifted from imports to Ghanaian suppliers adds roughly 4,000 job-years.

8. From a policy angle, we are working on local labour and sourcing requirements in the construction contracts, apprenticeship places linked to our TVET institutions, and payroll-verified reporting of at least the direct jobs figures for auditing purposes.

[Zubaida Ismail @Dereal_ZAMI]

I heard that former president John Dramani Mahama, now president never received his salaries in the entire 8 years of former president Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

Were you the legal something something at the time?

Oh, the documents say so. Please oooo, what did you do when a whole former president was blatantly denied his due for eight years?

Or did that not fall within your mandates as the legal something something?

Thought they said karma quit being a b*itch! Looks like she came bigger and louder.

Next time, you will tarry in exerting your authority when power changes hands. I honestly wish you well and wish that Mr Forson listens.

But knowing how unconsciously petty the NDC's legal brains can be, they might as well sue you and your former boss on behalf of the president.

His salaries if paid, can pay yours in full with some excesses for Builsa women like me.
