@GHANANEWSAGENCY 'Experienced and formidable'? Where are the women in this committee? Who is going to speak on the sorry plight of women and girls to be included in their campaign? Who will cry for the passage of the Affirmative Active Bill and Gender Policy? Look, We are tired of being tired oo

We are not even done dealing with cows, bulls and sheep on our roads yet. This is the second time I have chanced on these camels on the Kanda highway. Please hear our cry. 2/2.
Thank you.

Dear @highwaysghana @GhPoliceService @mrhgovgh, @NRSAGhana I come to you in peace. As a citizen and not a spectator, my fellow citizens and I cannot be fighting for safety on our roads with some malnourished Camels. 1/2

One-third (34%) of Ghanaians say the government at least “sometimes” treats members of their ethnic group unfairly, a 9-percentage-point increase compared to 2019 (25%).

[CDD-Ghana @CDDGha]

From the @afrobarometer Ghana round 9 survey results, for nine out of 10 Ghanaians (89%), their national identity is at least as strong as their ethnic identity; very few say they feel “more ethnic” (9%) or “only ethnic” (2%).

Each citizen is responsible for safeguarding the state from corruption-related activities within the bounds of the constitution. Make a difference as a citizen, not as a spectator.
