Yesterday, I was delighted to invite and host the amazing tech craftsman, Malfred Kwame Kudu, at the @mocghana
Earlier in the week, I was inundated with videos of his sterling work on a mobile phone. I reached out to him and was pleasantly stunned by his depth of knowledge and ability. Ghana is truly blessed.
After engaging him, I have made him an offer on behalf of the government of H.E. @JDMahama to partner and offer training to many more young Ghanaians. I have opened up the possibility of running a specialised programme through the Ghana-India Kofi Annan Centre of Excellence in ICT in partnership with Malfred.
This would allow him transfer knowledge at scale and help position Ghana as a truly technology diverse Country. I look forward to a truly mutually beneficial partnership.
For God and Country. 🦁🇬🇭
Commissioned by H.E. @JDMahama on 11th November, 2016; but abandoned in the last 8 years by the previous NPP administration.
This is the sad story of the biggest Gold refinery in West Africa, located here in Accra, Ghana- Gold Coast refinery.
But we at @GhanaGOLDBOD, as part of our value addition strategy, are determined to get this refinery working, with a clear pathway to LBMA accreditation, to generate the needed benefits for the nation.
Thus, in the short term, we shall move Ghana from the export of unrefined gold (dore’ bars) to refined gold (bullion) in partnership with Gold Coast refinery and other local refineries to optimize national benefits.
The exciting news is that, Ghana through the GoldBod, now maintains a free carried interest of 15% in this beautiful refinery, thanks to the leadership of H.E. John Dramani Mahama- the visionary.
Indeed, hope has come because #AbanPapaAba.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Investors,
Parliament has just passed the Income Tax (Amendment) Bill, 2025, which abolishes the ‘Betting Tax’ and other levies.
I have no doubt that H.E. President John Dramani Mahama will be more than willing to sign it into law without delay.
Promise Kept!
As a party, when we say we do! we mean real action that puts the people first.
✅ Abolishing the 1.5% withholding tax on unprocessed gold by small-scale miners to support the growth of the mining sector and empower local miners.
✅ Scrapping the 10% betting tax, ensuring fairness for the youth and businesses in the gaming industry.
✅ Eliminating the 1% E-Levy, easing the financial burden on Ghanaians and promoting digital transactions.
✅ Removing the emission levy, protecting businesses and consumers from unnecessary costs.
We stand for policies that bring relief, create opportunities, and drive sustainable growth. When we say we do? we mean it!
I am excited that the historic National Economic Dialogue 2025 is starting this morning. Its outcomes will find clear expression in the upcoming National Budget which will be read on March 11,2025, as we work together to reset Ghana’s economy and drive sustainable growth.
Sammy Gyamfi appointed CEO of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) promised by the NDC in its 2024 manifesto. He is to act as Managing Director of the PMMC pending the establishment of the GoldBod within the next 60 days.
A fantastic choice for the NDC and for Government. Hon Mahama Ayariga is Sharp and has strong analytical and solid oratory skills and he will undoubtedly be a great Majority Leader. Congratulations my Brother, Godspeed.
