I am deeply saddened by the passing of H.E. Samuel Odoi Sykes, a founding member of the New Patriotic Party who served as National Chairman and Ghana’s High Commissioner to Canada.

He holds an honoured place in our history, having led the Party to its first general election victory in the Fourth Republic in 2000.

His service to Party and country will long be remembered.

My heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones.

Farewell, Chairman. May your soul rest in perfect peace.

🎥: Meeting with the National Executive Committee of the Ghana Medical Association (GMA).

[Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia @MBawumia]

Today I had the honour of meeting with the National Executive Committee of the Ghana Medical Association (GMA) at the GMA house, Korle Bu Teaching Hospital. The meeting was part of my ongoing process of consultation with key stakeholders and identifiable groups in the country.

The president of the GMA, Professor (Dr.) Ernest Yorke and his colleagues offered many insights into the challenges faced by medical doctors in Ghana, including health workforce retention, remuneration, inequitable distribution of medical doctors, infrastructure, emergency preparedness, conditions of service, deprived area allowance, the role of the private sector, the requirement of the Medical and Dental Council for doctors to write licensing exams, etc.

Following our discussions, I am convinced that a paradigm shift is needed in our health care policies. Some brilliant ideas were put on the table, and I am very encouraged that when implemented they will be transformational for the welfare of doctors and the health sector as a whole.

Healthcare delivery is a collaborative mission. I extend my sincere gratitude to the President, the executive leadership, and members of the GMA for their invaluable insights, candor, and unwavering dedication to the well-being of the Ghanaian people.

Together, we will continue to build a robust, resilient, and patient-centered healthcare system that leaves no community behind.

🎥: Visit To Asantehemaa

[Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia @MBawumia]

On Thursday, I paid a courtesy call on the newly enstooled Asantehemaa, Nana Yaa Akyaa II, at the Manhyia Palace.

I congratulated Nanahemaa on her ascension to the stool and wished her divine strength, wisdom and good health as she serves Asanteman.

May her reign be long and fruitful.

Yesterday, I also met with the Federation of Association of Ghana Exporters (FAGE) to discuss issues facing exporters in Ghana. It was a rich diversity of exporters (both traditional and non-traditional exporters) who were represented. It is the fact that many of the economies that Ghana is trying to emulate, like the Asian Tigers, are export-driven economies, and the exporters in these countries were supported with various incentives. We discussed the various barriers that exporters are facing in Ghana and various policy solutions to address them.

I am convinced that we need to provide our exporters more support in the areas of the regulatory environment, standards, trade house infrastructure in countries we export to, land acquisition and protection, access to credit and the exchange and payments regime.

My thanks to FAGE for their attendance and very valuable proposals and ideas they shared with our team

I met with the Trade Advocacy Group, an association for traders, importers and business people, for a productive discussion on their current challenges and the future of trade and business in Ghana as part of my policy dialogue series. They enumerated various challenges such as high and arbitrary import duties, high cost of demurrage, high cost of renting shops, high taxes and access to credits.

The discussion was generally centered on policies that would solve these problems and make it easier to do business, expand opportunities, create jobs and position Ghana as a trade hub in the sub-region.

My thanks to the Trade Advocacy Group for their attendance of the meeting and many of the ideas they put on the table.

This morning, I met with the Commercial Quarry Operators Association as part of my ongoing policy dialogue series.

Our discussion focused on practical steps to strengthen the quarrying industry, create more jobs, support economic growth and ensure responsible environmental management.

I value the insights shared by industry stakeholders as we work together to develop solutions that benefit both the sector and our communities.

Today, I met with the leadership of the National Seed Trade Association of Ghana (NASTAG), a private sector organization of all the seed value chain actors, to discuss issues affecting the seed industry and various ways to address these issues to ensure food security and food sovereignty in Ghana.

It was instructive to note for example, that Ghana imports 90% of the vegetable seeds we use. We also discussed the unfortunate situation of the large-scale import of food that has resulted in the inability of local farmers to sell their produce such as maize, rice, and soybeans even at lower prices.

There are also the issues of regulatory gaps in our National Seed Policy, “political seed merchants” in Ghana’s procurement of seed and infrastructure challenges amongst others.

It was a very engaging discussion and many solutions were proposed by NASTAG. I would like to thank the leadership for their time and look forward to our respective teams continuing this engagement.

Yesterday, I met with the national leadership of the Junior Doctors Association (JDA), the Federation of Ghana Medical Students Association (FGMSA), and Medical Students Association Presidents from across the country.

We had an open and honest conversation addressing the critical challenges facing our young medical professionals and students, from training conditions and timely postings to overall welfare and career progression.

These are the brilliant minds who will carry the weight of Ghana’s healthcare system tomorrow, and their voices must shape our policies today.

Today, I led a delegation on behalf of the @NPP_GH to attend the seventh-day adua of the late Tolon Naa, Major (Rtd) Abubakari Sulemana.

Before his enskinment as Tolon Naa, he was a respected member of the NPP who served under President Kufuor’s government. He was equally admired within Ghana’s military circles.

I shared a close personal relationship with him and often sought his wise counsel. As Paramount Chief, he distinguished himself through honesty, integrity and fairness, administering justice without fear or favour and placing the development of Tolon above all else.

May Allah grant him eternal rest and comfort his family, subjects and the people of Dagbon.

Earlier today, I had the honour of visiting St. Jude’s Catholic Church at New Weija, a church I was privileged, by God’s grace, to help build in fulfilment of a promise to my good friend and resident priest, Father Andrew Campbell, the resident priest.

Seeing the beautiful edifice today was deeply moving.

To God be the glory

Together with members of the NPP’s Identifiable Groups Committee on the Extractive Sector, I had a productive engagement today with the Ghana National Association of Small-Scale Miners as part of our ongoing consultations with key stakeholders.

We discussed the challenges facing small-scale mining and practical reforms to promote responsible mining, protect the environment, create jobs and strengthen local value addition.

I look forward to continued collaboration towards a sustainable and productive extractive sector.

I have learnt with deep sadness of the passing of legendary Ghanaian actress, Grace Nortey.

Madam Grace Nortey was a true trailblazer and cultural icon whose illustrious career, spanning over five decades, brought joy to homes and inspired many young women in the creative arts.

Hajia Samira and I extend our heartfelt condolences to her family, loved ones, and the entire creative arts fraternity.

May her soul rest in perfect peace.
