One of the problems we are facing as a country is that many politicians have become and are becoming lawyers merely to clothe their opinions with some semblance of logic, associated with legal education. Unfortunately, some of them, just do not….
Thank God for @cobimensah@af_ia_blue@Pentsirrr
They’re absolute top level lawyers and I’m speaking from personal experience.
Without their brilliance, I fear this would have been a huge loss to me. I 100000000% recommend them.
All attention is on the CSA bill but the Data Harmonization bill by NITA is even more unsettling.
If that too is passed, here is what will happen:
(check comments to read the full bill)
1. One agency gains access to every citizen’s data. NITA will aggregate data from GRA, NHIA, DVLA, Births & Deaths, Passport, telcos, banks, etc. A single national file on each person ie identity, income, health, location, and communication history.
2. No court oversight before access or sharing. NITA can compel any institution to hand over data or connect to its system. There’s no requirement for judicial approval or citizen consent before integration.
3. Political control over all public data. NITA answers directly to the Minister of Communications, not Parliament or an independent board. Whoever controls that ministry controls the country’s entire data infrastructure.
4. End of institutional independence. Agencies like GRA or NHIA lose autonomy over their databases. They must follow NITA’s standards and directives or be sanctioned.
5. Legalised data sharing with private companies. “Data-sharing partnerships” allow NITA to connect private systems (telcos, banks, fintechs) to the government hub. All private-sector data effectively becomes state-accessible.
6. No ownership or deletion rights for citizens. The Bill never states who owns data once harmonised.. You can’t demand correction, deletion, or know how long your data is stored.
7. Cross-linked datasets let the state profile citizens in real time ie our spending habits, movements, political activity.
8. One hack, leak, or insider breach exposes the entire population.
9. Every new digital product that touches public data must first meet NITA’s approval.
10. Once systems are merged and infrastructure centralised, you can’t undo it. Every future government inherits total visibility into our lives.

Adwoa Safo left her post as MP and went to stay in US and when people raised concerns, she did TikTok videos to mock us.
Then came back during election time to share yogurts to her people for votes but now she wants to act like she wasn’t part of the rot.
I've been working on a series of articles to mark the one-year anniversary of the African Games. The first piece takes a deep dive into the $16 million that was spent to renovate 4 hostels at UG to serve as Games Village. Here's what I found.
