Lashing school kids for not paying their school fees was one of the MANY senseless things our teachers used to do.
Are the kids the ones responsible for paying their fees? Ah
Sir @JDMahama, I would be deeply honored to cook with you someday. Over a meal, I’d love for us to explore the future of Ghanaian food, culture and how we can showcase our cuisine to the world . Thank you 🇬🇭
I want to do a Ghanaian menu takeover in an airline! What does this mean, it means on that day I want to develop a menu inspired by Ghanaian or African flavors , and on that day all the passengers will eat is the Ghanaian food on the flight! Imagine this! Shooting my shot 🌟
Thank you Minister @samgeorgegh for engaging publicly. A few points in good faith.
You are right the bill has not been laid before Parliament. That is exactly why we are speaking now. It is easier to fix a draft than a law.
The concerns are in the actual text. Section 46 bars any uncertified person from being appointed as an ICT professional in any public or private institution. I studied Renewable Natural Resources Management at KNUST and taught myself to code. Under that provision I would not have been hireable at the company I founded. Section 35 criminalises operating without a NITA licence. Section 37 restricts licences to companies wholly owned by Ghanaian citizens. That bans foreign investment in our tech sector. These are not bandwagon claims. They are in the document.
On the 1% revenue levy. Not profit. Revenue. What does the Ghanaian tech sector receive in return?
Here is what could move the needle. Open 95% of state funded tech contracts to go to or through Ghanaian companies on merit. Use our AU and AfCFTA seat to open Pan African procurement to our best companies. Build a regulatory sandbox for ECOWAS market access. Introduce tax holidays before taxing growth.
And you do not have to do this alone. The Foreign Ministry is doing an amazing job opening doors across the continent and beyond. Work with them to put Ghanaian tech companies in those rooms. Partner with the Energy Ministry to fix the power that every founder in Ghana is losing money to every single month. Work with Transport to reduce the logistics costs that eat into every hardware and infrastructure deployment.
There are real ideas in this conversation worth engaging with. Open online dialogues that anyone can join from anywhere would go a long way. Not everyone can make it to a consultation room in Accra or a closed Zoom meeting.
I am rooting for you to succeed Minister. Your success is our success. Revise the draft, open the conversation, and let us build this together.

I was reading and our son tried to ask me something.
My husband stops him and goes:
“What’s in her hand?”
“A book.”
“What’s in my hand?”
“Nothing.”
“So who do you go talk to?”
The way I’ve never felt more supported in my life.

My Bro/Sis, you see that thing you’ve been waiting on God for and almost thinking it would never happen, eh? very soon, much sooner than you think, It will happen. And you will come back to this particular tweet, to say “IT HAS HAPPENED.” IN JESUS’ NAME.
You are blessed !
