Going into 2026 with a bang 💥

[Osagyefo Oliver Barker-Vormawor @barkervogues]

I have been asked by the Attorney-General to accept a national assignment to serve to as Secretary and Member of the Constitution Review Implementation Committee.

The role requires that I serve the Committee and provide technical support to the Committee towards implementing proposals for the amendment of the 1992 Constitution.

17 years ago, I was brought into the Constitution Review Commission as the youngest member of its research leads at 22 years. Since then I have remained convinced of the centrality of constitutional reform to fulfilling Ghana’s mission.

That dream has lived on in my daily advocacy. Today, myself and Democracy Hub subscribe fully to be creed that the Republic must inch towards a New Constitution for a New Generation. I believe 100% in that project.

That dream remains deferred as the political consensus necessary to achieve it remains absent. But that still remains my lifelong mission. This process is only half the journey. But progressive and incremental change doesn’t by itself defeat the revolution necessary. My advocacy continues beyond my current work; and what the political class is willing to concede at this stage.

My colleagues at Democracy Hub consider this as just the beginning to their long standing campaign and not the end. I subscribe to that creed; and our advocacy continues.

I remain grateful that the Government has remained committed to ensuring this process is led by technocrats. From the Professor Fiadjoe/Raymond Atuguba Committee; Professor Prempeh/Rainer AKumperigya Commitee to the Marietta Brew/Barker-Vormawor Committee; persons of repute have committed themselves to this journey for a while now. All in the hope that this process works.

May this attempt succeed. For God, Country and Posterity.

Shalom

This is one of the only few ways to grow a country’s economy…Having a strong textile industry is a cheat code.

[CDR AFRICA @cdrafrica]

🇧🇫 Burkina Faso’s military academy graduation outfit is made from 100% locally woven Faso Danfani, a traditional Burkinabè fabric hand-spun and handwoven from cotton.

The use of the indigenous textile reflects the country’s drive to promote local production, support domestic artisans, and reduce reliance on imported fabrics.

I watched this yesterday and spent some time reading more about induced demand. I thought he did an incredible job explaining the concept.

What surprises me is that everyone seems fixated on the idea that road expansion means people will immediately buy more private cars. That is only one possible mechanism, and in a country like Ghana it may not even be the biggest one.

The broader idea is that road usage increases. People make more trips, development expands, more people move to places like Kasoa because commuting becomes easier, and public transport operators (trotros and buses) put more vehicles on the road to meet the increased demand.

The carpooling example wasn’t the strongest, but the overall phenomenon has been observed in cities like Jakarta, Lagos, Bangalore, and Mexico City. Expanding roads by itself often does not solve congestion in the long run.

That doesn’t mean roads should never be expanded. It means road expansion alone is rarely enough. The better long-term solution is to pair it with reliable public transport. It doesn’t have to be rail. A fast, dependable, affordable bus system that connects people to where they actually want to go can move far more people with fewer vehicles on the road.

I thought it was a great video because it encouraged us to think beyond the obvious solution. Sometimes the intuitive answer isn’t the one that works best over the long term.

People you are quick to say he is wrong and join the bandwagon. Read at least one of these:
1. Hymel (2019) — “If You Build It, They Will Drive”
2. Duranton & Turner (2011) — “The Fundamental Law of Road Congestion”
3. Goodwin (1996) — Evidence on induced traffic
