One day, I will employ 3% (directly & indirectly) of the Ghanaian population.

Today, it’s
0.03 x 30,420,000 = 912600
Tomorrow it’ll be.......

So help me God! 🙏🏻🇬🇭

In 2021, I met a little boy in Darkuman who was making toy cars out of pieces of wood.

I remember looking at him and thinking, “This child is gifted.”

But behind that gift was a painful story.

Prince Kojo was being raised by a single mother who was struggling to make ends meet. He had very little support and was enduring abuse at the hands of his stepfather. Like many children born into difficult circumstances, he had talent, dreams, and potential, but not the opportunities he needed to thrive.

By the grace of God, we took him under our care at @FTFGhana, supported his education, secured a scholarship for him to study Robotics at Asustem Robotics, and helped put him on the right path to gain admission to a TVET school, where he started studying Auto Mechanics last year.

Today, Prince Kojo is beginning a sponsored automotive training programme at the West African Vehicle Academy in Accra during his school vacation.

Sometimes I look at his journey and wonder what would have happened if nobody had stopped to care.

How many brilliant children are out there right now, full of potential but trapped by circumstances they did not choose?

Prince Kojo’s story reminds me that talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not.

And sometimes, all it takes to change a child’s life forever is one person deciding to believe in them.

Who knows what is next for him? Maybe one day he will build his own automobile company. Maybe he will design vehicles that transform the industry, or perhaps he will start his own toy car manufacturing company.

What I do know is this: his story is only just beginning.

And I could not be more proud of him. ❤️

The cedi’s rapid appreciation in 2025 is having very different effects across public sector institutions. For the Bank of Ghana, which holds significant foreign-currency-denominated assets, the appreciation translated into valuation losses and contributed to weakening its financial position. On the other hand, state-owned enterprises with substantial dollar-denominated liabilities are seeing improvements in their balance sheets as the cedi value of those obligations declines. I would expect a similar story when ECG eventually publishes its financial statements.

By the way, we are not calling the gains made at ToR on the back of cedi appreciation “technical/accounting gains”, right? 🤣

Should be relieved of his duty. We don’t want him reshuffled to another ministry with no change in his ways!!

[Junior💎 @kpee_1]

Are you at wár with the people you serve or something? Because the way you act when you’re being criticized is mind-boggling. You’re a pain in the ass and lack maturity as a minister. You should be the first minister to be reshuffled by the president.

[efo.djakpata🇬🇭🇨🇮 @AsimenuCecil]

He hasn’t done anyone a favor by making anything public. As public servant he has a fiduciary duty to us. We need to have a say in our governance. Please let’s not praise politicians for doing what we pay them to do.

[ekowreel @ekowreel]

Regardless of the back and forth around the NITA Bill, Hon. @samgeorgegh making the bill public for discussion is a big deal.

That alone sets a strong standard for ministerial public engagement and transparency.

We can critique, disagree, and push back where necessary, but openness must also be commended.

I hope this becomes the norm for every minister.
And if that happens, let's credit Djata
for this.

Hopefully, V5 also receives the same intense, productive, and inclusive national discussion.

[Nana B. @koboateng]

Nobody said “the Ministry” personally entered my DM. The point was simple: the official NITA account engaged me to host/co-host a space on the NITA Bills, said NITA was hosting it, sent the flyer/link, and later said the time change was based on “Minister’s instructions.”

Now you’re shifting the goalpost to “show contact from the Ministry” because it is convenient.

If NITA had no authority to engage stakeholders on a NITA Bill Space, then that is your Ministry’s coordination problem, not “cheap lies” from the public.

You cannot hide behind technical distinctions when it suits you, then use the same agency to engage the public when it suits you.

The issue is still the same: answer the legitimate questions about the bills. Stay focused o

[Bright Simons @BBSimons]

My colleague CSO Analyst has a rather strange point of view on E&P selling Ghana's gold back to Ghana and craving our applause for it.

1. He says that he accepts that E&P doesn't yet have a contract with Ghana as the lease is going through the technical steps I mentioned in my previous article (see 1st comment.)

2. He accepts that the law is clear that even if you have a contract, Parliament must ratify it before the contract becomes VALID.

3. He accepts that this law was made to reinforce the constitutional principle that all gold in Ghana belong to all citizens in Ghana & the President & his government only leases the gold out to companies to make money and give Ghana its share. Thus, the people's representatives in Parliament must scrutinise the terms and agree that the lease serves our interests. Good.

4. He accepts that Parliament can look at the terms and decide that Ghana is getting a bad deal and refuse to agree to a lease.

5. He accepts that we don't as yet know the terms that the government has agreed with E&P, which is run by one of the most politically powerful people in Ghana. We don't know how much Ghana is meant to get when E&P sells a kilogram of gold. Since Ghana is giving both the physical plant left behind by Gold Fields (and now owned by Ghana) and the geological concession to E&P (something that rarely happens), the terms must be very generous to Ghana.

6. Despite all this, my elite brother has written a long string of English saying.... what exactly? I guess that he is saying that because it is E&P, he is fine with it?

7. His main argument seems to be that there are many companies that do the same in Ghana. I.e. operate outside the law. Without the country having gone through legitimate processes to agree on how they can use our resources, they just start producing gold and pocketing the cash. To his mind, this is unpleasant but something we just have to grin and bear?

8. In a country, where we say we are committed to prosecuting people who violates our mining laws?

9. He then does something that I think doesn't become him at all. He goes for my integrity. He insists that there are a bunch of foreign companies doing this but I haven't complained. Which foreign companies, though, he won't name. Perchance, has any foreign company mining without a ratified lease carried gold to GoldBod to curry "fans" on live TV for all of us to see? Does the optics of impunity sit well with him? Why doesn't he bring these foreign companies here on the chopping board of Twitter for all of us to have a go?

10. Wasn't it my elite brother who said that the Australians who now own the rights to Ghana's lithium couldn't mine because Parliament hadn't approved their lease and that this was causing so many problems for them? Even in the face of criticism that Ghana wasn't getting a good deal on the lithium? At that time, did anyone accuse him of doing the bidding of foreign firms?

11. He asks why I don't complain about the conduct of foreign mining firms in Ghana. He even tries to make it look as if my concern about the law being followed is because this time it is a Ghanaian mining company involved. Seriously? Very low blow. When did he ever reveal some misconduct of a foreign mining firm? Who placed obstacles in his way?

12. At any rate, I am literally the only person who investigated the Consmin issues in the manganese sector. I didn't see my colleague CSO Analyst getting involved. Did he? Where was he?

13. Consmin controlled Ghana's manganese for years. It was in turn controlled by Billionnaire Gennadiy Bogolyubov from Jersey, a European tax haven. When the government did an investigation and came out with findings that Ghana has been cheated out of hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes, the issue was quietly buried and NO government has been able to get to the bottom of it. The Chinese now control the asset.

14. When I complain about elites in Ghana, and Dr. Nii Moi Thompson sounds irritated because I keep "ragging", that is what I mean. To date, no one knows what happened to the Consmin transfer pricing breach affair. Who is to dig into such stuff if not the elite? Surely, not my aunties at Makola selling from 5am to 9pm just to find some small chops for the kids before they walk to school?

15. Same way no one knows what happened in the case of Royal Ghana Gold Refinery that GoldBod just signed a deal with a few days ago. I am literally the only one who sent people outside Ghana to investigate and publicise the crazy findings. I didn't see any of these elite commentators talking about "foreign interests." I have not seen them asking GoldBod any hard questions.

16. Isn't it rich when folks that are very much a fixture of the establishment start questioning the motives of literally the only person why tries to get answers from the authorities about Ghana's minerals? I don't blame them, though. In a country where so few actually keep track of what is going on and most only operate on soundbites and read nothing longer than a headline, such silencing tactics are damn effective.

17. Still, this sudden nationalism about natural resources strike me as cynical when it is so selective and only seems to apply when people's favourites are concerned. My honest view is that a jurisdiction is either well governed or it is not. The special pleading approach is unworkable. The elites should decide what kind of principles they will support and stop the blowing of cold and hot.

18. My CSO colleague really need to stay on the issues and stop the motive questioning. I understand why he would go for that weapon: it is effective in a country where most people stay on the surface and don't dig into anything (like reading a person's works regularly to get a proper sense of their convictions) before they form an opinion. Still, it does not befit his stature.

This is one of several reasons you shouldn't drop out of (or skip) college to start a startup at 18. Founders who do that tend to match the second paragraph rather than the first, because they haven't had time to have the "earned insight" he describes.
