Why is the Mahama government so much interested in regulating speech, expression, and creativity?
Of all the things they could do, why is their attention fixed on these things?
Ghana paa. Of all the battles to pick, you chose tech bros? You can frustrate them, fine them, regulate them but you won’t win the digital war. It’s not possible.
One of the worst things about the NITA Bill is that it provides that ICT licences can only be given to companies 100% owned by Ghanaians.
In a global tech economy built on venture capital, foreign partnerships & diaspora funding, this could scare away serious investment into Ghana’s tech space.
While Rwanda, Kenya & Senegal compete aggressively for global tech capital, this Bill will build barriers that will isolate Ghana’s digital economy.
The NITA Bill 2025 mandates EVERY IT worker in Ghana licensed before they can work, even in private companies.
It also:
- taxes IT companies on revenue (not profit)
- jails unlicensed tech founders for up to 10 YEARS
- restricts IT licences to companies wholly owned by Ghanaians, potentially driving away foreign investment to other African countries like Rwanda & Kenya.
- The Bill does many other awful and archaic things
This may be the biggest anti-tech bill Ghana has seen in years.

Let me tell you how it happened. Nigeria’s ginger export hit zero from N26 billion within 3 years.
The official story blames fungal blight.
But here is what actually happened. When Nigerian farmers lost their indigenous seed supply, grant-aided interventions arrived with replacement seeds.
An associate professor at Lagos Business School flagged publicly that some of those interventions involved GMO organisms that weakened indigenous crops and compromised soil health.
That is not a conspiracy theory because it is a documented academic concern.
Now that Nigeria spoke got destroyed by the GMO seedlings….what is not the result?
Nigeria was forced to import ginger from China to fill domestic demand. Chinese ginger has none of the pungency, oleoresin content, or quality that made Nigerian ginger a global premium product. And the ginger now sitting in Nigerian markets tastes like wood because it essentially is wood.
The two indigenous varieties that built Nigeria’s global ginger reputation, the Tafin Giwa and Yatsun Biri, had decades of soil relationship and quality built into them.
Once the soil was degraded and those seed varieties were displaced, the product that returned was a pale imitation. Nigeria did not just lose a market. It lost a seed. And without a National Ginger Seed Bank, which nobody has built, it may never fully get it back.
Make we organise some serious #EndGalamseyNow demonstration bi erhhh 😂😂😂
Because at this point, the silence from some people is becoming louder than the destruction itself.
@gyaigyimii chale, wetin dey happen? Or your party people put you on so now you for keep quiet? 👀
The rivers are still brown. Forests are still being destroyed. Communities are still suffering.
This fight shouldn’t be about party colours. It should be about Ghana. Or we go wait till there’s nothing left to save before we speak again? 😂

Where do these people get the money from meanwhile ordinary Ghanaian is suffering
If Ghana is any serious country, it should conduct an intense investigation into this
If the CEO goes to cocoa farms with his executive office chair and wearing political suits, why won’t he be buying luxury vehicles when he can’t pay cocoa farmers?
Being CEO of COCOBOD is his “cocoa season”, so he has to milk it well well.

So it’s really an Africa problem. Ghana is also experiencing illegal mining popularly known as “Galamsey” which is destroying our forest reserves and waterbodies. It has affected farmers who depend on rivers as a water source for their crops. It’s causing birth defects and kidney issues. It is leading to water treatment plants in those areas to shutdown. #StopGalamseyNow
