@thenanaaba Meanwhile some of us are preparing to SWITCH to the NDC as soon as possible. I hope they continue to rule Ghana this way without any NSS scandal, No Finance Minister scandal. I believe in Ato Forson and Sammy Gyamfi. We want Ghana to progress, and whoever do that we'll support U.
The switch is done!
Resetting of Ghana’s passport administration is fully completed.
We have successfully:
1) Switched to Chip-Embedded Passports and carried out the first ever mass rollout;
2) Commenced 24-Hour Operations;
3) Started direct passport delivery at your convenience through courier with Ghana Post as our lead partner;
4) Initiated an e-Tracking System;
5) Guaranteed passport delivery not exceeding 15 days;
6) Reduced Application Fees as approved by Cabinet (from GHS500 to GHS350) — will take effect when Parliament returns from recess and amends the Fees and Charges Act.
7) Demonstrated that chip-embedded passports can be acquired in a day.
With these reforms we aim to totally eliminate the phenomenon of “goro boys” who exploit unnecessary delays and also end the era of uncollected passports due to red tape and frustration.
Let’s make Ghana work again.
For God and Country 🇬🇭 🙏🏾
Small time we all go understand God and not me .
Those who understand me are already in the blood of God and that is the Shatta movement .
See how many shatta movements fans will be successful this year 2025🩸🩸
IF YOU BELIEVE SAY AMEN 🙏
Is the NPP Minority in Parliament launching such vicious, vile and baseless attacks at President Mahama’s widely celebrated ORAL anti-corruption initiative because of the fear that soon Ghanaians will come into full knowledge of the atrocities some of their members have committed against the people?
Let’s consider this shocking example of an NPP MP buying our prime Cantonments public land at an extremely ridiculous GHS42,000.00 (US$2,800.00).
Unimpeachable and irrefutable Lands Commission documents reveal that President Akufo-Addo authorized this outrageously unconscionable transaction in 2021. (See attached).
The NPP MP who benefited from this condemnable rip-off is Hon. Kennedy Osei Nyarko, MP for Akim Swedru.
From the Lands Commission’s records, Hon. Kennedy Osei Nyarko now owns the prestigious land in issue for 99 years (from 1st January, 2021 to 31st December, 2120).
The unbelievable terms of this sweetheart deal only required the MP to pay an annual ground rent of a meagre GHS10,500.00 from 1st January, 2021 to 31st December, 2024 amounting to GHS42,000.00 (US$2,800.00) for him to take over the land.
This deal would not even qualify for land in any of my holy villages in North Tongu.
According to the ‘lootocratic’ and exceptionally offensive agreement, the GHS10,500.00 ground rent may be reviewed every five years within the 99 years.
For all other Ghanaians who were not President Akufo-Addo’s anointed cronies, prevailing market rates at the time dictated that one ought to pay between US$700,000.00 and US$800,000.00 as lump sum consideration. After that, one is required to pay ground rent to authorities as well.
Compare US$700,000.00 for every other Ghanaian and US$2,800.00 for a few NPP cronies.
The irony is that this is the Cantonments Agric Mechanization land Hon. Kennedy Osei Nyarko should have been keen on protecting as a former Deputy Agric Minister. He should not have actively colluded with elements in the former administration to illegally rezone without parliamentary approval, forcefully evict staff of Agric Mechanization and members of the Vegetable Producers and Exporters Association just because he and a few politically exposed persons covet the choice land.
Article 257 of Ghana’s 1992 Constitution is clear that public lands belong to all Ghanaians. President Akufo-Addo was merely a caretaker on our behalf. This is certainly not the kind of trusteeship we expected.
The GHS42,000.00 Cantonments land deal highlights the grave injustice and deep rot associated with how public lands and other state assets were looted under the erstwhile Akufo-Addo/Bawumia administration.
What is not right is certainly not right.
I know there are many patriotic NPP members who will not support such naked injustice.
Those who have not looted from the Ghanaian people do not attack ORAL — indeed, they boldly support ORAL, as the Constitution demands of all good citizens.
The current generation of politicians must reflect and acknowledge that if those who came before us engaged in such despicable unpatriotic conduct, no state asset would have been left for us.
At this rate, what state assets are we leaving behind for the youth and for subsequent generations?
How can we develop our country if all strategic state assets are looted by a few?
I wholeheartedly agree with Prof. Kwaku Azar that ORAL must go with OPAL (Operation Prevent All Loot) — this is why I am vigorously pursuing my private members bill which seeks to ban politicians and politically exposed persons from purchasing state assets.
My bill also makes it mandatory for all transactions on state assets to receive parliamentary approval. The Ghanaian people must first of all be convinced that there is even justification for selling that state asset.
It is also in the bill that the transactions must go through value for money audits, and the amounts involved and beneficiaries must be published for the Ghanaian people to know.
ORAL is
2020, we boom with over ten 100+ odds.
2021, we had plenty of 100+ odds booms.
2022, we saw many 100+ odds booms, including back-to-back 200+ odds booms in a week.
2023, we boom with over five 100+ odds
2024, we didn’t boom any 100+ odds at all! The only one I boom sef ano post am, 1.5 odds sef dey cast (Worst year for investors).
As we enter 2025, may this year bring our investors plenty of wins, good fortune, and successful bets. Amen!
