Hon. Sammy George, why should Telecel increase they're data bundle price and reduce the gb that we'll be getting. Not even a communication to the public
@tv3_ghana So did kifo kapito aware of this dstv costing price or just because the minister has come out of it.
We're in this country but we never see this agency talking about cost of living in ti's country but they use our tax payers money to pay that institution why Ghana
@cdzas They even keep too long, like they could have even start it long time ago
When they were in power and they took our advice will all this thing happen
The message throughout the pro-Traoré rallies was NEVER AGAIN! Never again will we allow imperialists and neo-colonialists to threaten and come for our Pan-African leaders working to emancipate our motherland.

A Thread🧵
Burkina Faso’s Pan-Africanist President Ibrahim Traoré expressed gratitude to his supporters for their show of solidarity worldwide on 30 April.
From Burkina Faso to Ghana, from the United Kingdom to Italy, from Jamaica to New York, rallies erupted across the globe in support of Burkina Faso’s Pan-Africanist President Ibrahim Traoré. As one of the most visible leaders from the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), Traoré—alongside Mali’s Assimi Goïta and Niger’s Abdourahamane Tiani—has emerged as the spearhead of a revolution to free Africa from the shackles of neocolonialism and imperialism.
Earlier today, I had the honour of inaugurating the newly constituted Governing Board of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA).
This nine-member Board will be chaired by Hon. George Ricketts Hagan, former Deputy Minister for Finance and Member of Parliament for Cape Coast South.
Together, these distinguished individuals bring a wealth of experience, expertise, and integrity to the task ahead.
The full membership of the Board is as follows:
1.Hon. George Ricketts Hagan – Chairperson

This inauguration comes at a crucial time in our economic journey. As I stated during the ceremony, government faces significant fiscal constraints, with tight financing conditions, restricted access to international capital markets following the debt restructuring programme, and reduced support from development partners.
In view of this, optimising domestic revenue mobilisation is the number one fiscal priority for 2025 and the medium term. We have set ourselves the ambitious but necessary target of increasing revenue collection by at least 0.6 percentage points of GDP annually. This is central to achieving our fiscal objective of a primary surplus of 1.5% of GDP by 2025, and ultimately reducing our external debt service-to-revenue ratio from 28% in 2022 to 18% by 2028.
I reminded the new Board of the urgent need to modernise the GRA, instill a strong culture of integrity, decisively combat smuggling, reform internal operations, and strengthen collaboration with the Ministry of Finance. Every tax cedi lost to inefficiency, fraud, or smuggling is a missed opportunity to improve roads, schools, hospitals, and the lives of our people.
I also announced my intention to sign a performance bonus Memorandum of Understanding with the Commissioner-General of GRA, as part of efforts to enhance accountability and performance.
This is a defining moment for our country. I am confident that with the support of this capable Board and the dedication of GRA management, we can deliver a revenue administration that truly works for the Ghana we all want.
Congratulations once again to the Board members, and I look forward to working closely with you in service of our nation.
