Dear friends, during some recent medical examinations, the doctors found a small, localized nodule in my lung. It was detected at a very early stage and is well-localized. The doctors believe that it is best to intervene, so, following their advice, I have decided to undergo surgery to remove it. The operation is already scheduled to take place in the coming days. I thank you for your spiritual closeness and entrust myself to your prayers.

Apparently, there is a notion that only public officials could be prosecuted for causing a loss of public money; and that private persons could not be prosecuted for such losses. These two offences in the Criminal Act alone refute that notion:

Section 179A(2) - Causing Loss, Damage or Injury to Property 👇🏾

“A person who in the course of a transaction or business with a public body or an agency of the Republic intentionally causes damage or loss whether economic or otherwise to that body or agency commits a criminal offence.”

Section 179C(b)- Using Public Office for Profit 👇🏾

“A person commits a criminal offence who, not being a holder of a public office, acts or is found to have acted in collaboration with a person holding a public office for the latter to corruptly or dishonestly abuse the public office for private profit or benefit.”

I grew up on the cattle grazing fields of Asutsuare Junction in the Shai Osudoku District of the Greater Accra Region.
As the last born and only child in the family to be lucky enough to be enrolled in school, my options were limited.
Lawyer? Hell no!!! Not in this village.

Ghana's fiscal turnaround is impressive on its own. It is even more impressive against the rest of Sub-Saharan Africa. Ato Forson and his team deserve their flowers.

The latest World Bank Africa Economic Update shows the fiscal deficit fell from 8.1% of GDP in 2024 to 1.2% in 2025, on the back of significant fiscal consolidation. That 6.9-point improvement was the largest in the region. Burkina Faso was next at 4.0 points.

Public debt fell from 70.3% to 48.8% of GDP, the third largest decline in the region after Zimbabwe and Zambia.

The challenge now is sustaining this performance while growing the productive sectors of the economy and creating meaningful employment.

The World Bank already expects the deficit to widen to 2.2% this year and 2.9% by 2027. We would expect Ato to beat those projections.

Among the many memorable stories from today's Call to the Bar is that of Hazel Berrard Amuah and her daughter, Nhyira Berrard Quayson, who share the remarkable distinction of being called to the Ghana Bar on the same day.

For this mother and daughter, 9 October 2026 marks not one, but two professional milestones within the same family.

Two generations. One profession. One special day.

[Joyce Bawah Mogtari @joyce_bawah]

We leave New York thinking about many things.

Something about the content and context of the President’s address. Something about the positive reviews Ghana continues to receive. Something about the many successfully oversubscribed side events on Reparations and the Accra Reset. And something about the remarkable number of leaders who had, well ahead of #UNGA, sought appointments to meet with the President.

A raft of conversations. A multitude of discussions. And, running through them all, a deeper conversation about the future of Africa and the place of Ghana within it.

Last year, President John Dramani Mahama stood before the United Nations General Assembly and spoke about an Africa that needed a stronger voice, a fairer global financial system, greater control over its resources, and a new relationship with its development partners.

Ghana subsequently spearheaded the UN resolution on Reparations and Reparatory Justice. The Accra Reset, introduced at UNGA80, has since travelled from Accra to Geneva and back to New York, gathering momentum, building partnerships and attracting considerable support.

But something else is happening with Ghana.

In 2025, Ghana attracted approximately US$2.6 billion in foreign direct investment, nearly four times the level recorded the previous year. The economy grew by 6%. International reserves reached approximately US$11.9 billion. Inflation has fallen significantly, and the IMF now assesses Ghana’s risk of debt distress as moderate an improvement achieved earlier than originally anticipated.

These numbers do not suggest that everything is perfect. They do, however, suggest that something is changing. There is greater stability. There is sustained growth. And, perhaps most importantly, there is renewed hope that the gains being recorded at the macroeconomic level can, in time, translate into better lives for ordinary Ghanaians.

Our visit to the New York Stock Exchange was, in many ways, another signal of that journey. Ghana is open for business.

Increasingly, Ghana’s story is changing. Our President is walking into important rooms and speaking with confidence about Ghana’s future, Ghana’s potential and the possibilities that exist for a continent of 1.4 billion people.

There appears to be a nexus between what we are fixing at home, what Ghana is advocating for Africa, and the partnerships we are pursuing internationally.

The President speaks about adding value to our cocoa and minerals rather than continuing to export them in their raw form. He speaks about Africa financing more of its own development. He speaks about the African Continental Free Trade Area not merely as an agreement, but as an opportunity to position Ghana as a gateway to a market of more than 1.4 billion people.

And increasingly, these conversations are taking place not only within the halls of the United Nations, but with investors, governments, development institutions and businesses.

Of course, diplomacy alone does not create prosperity.

A photograph at the Stock Exchange does not create a job in Accra, Kumasi or Tamale. A bilateral meeting does not automatically become an investment. And a strong GDP number means little to a family that is still struggling to make ends meet.

The real work is in converting access into investment, investment into businesses, businesses into jobs, and growth into better lives.

But access matters. Credibility matters. And telling our story clearly and consistently matters. It helps to build confidence, deepen partnerships and create the space within which opportunity can become reality.

And having a Ghanaian President who can walk into these rooms with a clearer economic story at home and a compelling proposition for Africa matters too.

Perhaps that is the real takeaway from this year’s UNGA for me.

It was not simply that Ghana was present.

Ghana had something to say.

Ghana had something to show.

And increasingly, Ghana has something to offer.
