@koboateng This is what I've been asking. People actually thought putting those things in there was a good idea, a progressive idea. And there in lies the problem, that it was even considered at all and all those people that put it together saw nothing wrong with it. It is truly sad.
A minister went live on national television, visibly excited that he had finally found a “gotcha moment” against ordinary Ghanaians.
Why? Because a draft bill was published on the ministry’s official website, then quietly revised four different times through closed-door meetings without properly communicating any of those changes to the public.
After that, he confidently says: “The old bill is dead. You people are online criticizing a dead bill. You don’t have the updated bill.” As if secrecy, poor communication, and public confusion are achievements.
You are pushing 15 digital bills that will affect millions of citizens, businesses, creators, and young people, yet the public engagement has been chaotic from the beginning. Instead of transparency, accountability, and respect, citizens are being mocked on live TV for reacting to the only version they were officially given access to.
Leadership is not a game of catching citizens off guard. If people are confused, the failure is in communication, not in the public asking questions. This is not it.
Ghana is failing us.
here is something most people do not know.
though the initial, official deadline for feedback has passed, the nita bill is still technically in the "public consultation phase" which means your formal submission is legally part of the process.
here is how to make your voice count beyond the timeline. 🧵

The signal that the NITA bill is sending to the very people who are building the tech ecosystem might end up damaging the very ecosystem it intends to regulate.
