A minister went live on national television, visibly excited that he had finally found a “gotcha moment” against ordinary Ghanaians.
Why? Because a draft bill was published on the ministry’s official website, then quietly revised four different times through closed-door meetings without properly communicating any of those changes to the public.
After that, he confidently says: “The old bill is dead. You people are online criticizing a dead bill. You don’t have the updated bill.” As if secrecy, poor communication, and public confusion are achievements.
You are pushing 15 digital bills that will affect millions of citizens, businesses, creators, and young people, yet the public engagement has been chaotic from the beginning. Instead of transparency, accountability, and respect, citizens are being mocked on live TV for reacting to the only version they were officially given access to.
Leadership is not a game of catching citizens off guard. If people are confused, the failure is in communication, not in the public asking questions. This is not it.
Ghana is failing us.
Oh. Basically the only reason this is public information is because their victims aren't Ghanaian women. This should make Ghanaian women LIVID; your government and justice system only holds powerful people accountable when they harm tourists - not when they harm you. There are functional systems that exist - but not for you.
Thoughts and prayers to the many locally based Ghanaian women who fell victim to this dastardly act but couldn’t voice out due to a lack of trust in the system.
We have a huge problem with sexual harassment, abuse, and consent. Humongous problem.
Driving past the DVLA guys doing their operation on the Adjiringanor road, and they ignored some rickety truck with just one side mirror right in front of me because they were more focused on stopping a Range Rover with an illegal license plate
