In the 2025 fiscal year, DVLA contributed Ghc17.7 million into the Consolidated Fund and Ghc80.4 million into the Road Fund as statutorily required under the Road Fund Act, 1997 (Act 536).

These payments represent the highest contribution into the Road Fund in the history of the Authority.

This puts total contributions to mandatory funds at Ghc98.1 million.

For the 1st time in our existence, primer seal bitumen is being applied to the 24.95km Todome-Tsatey-Kaira-Ahor-Toh-Tsanakpe-Dzemeni trunk road in South Dayi.

The people are beside themselves with great joy. Dreams are being released right here……

Gratitute to His Excellency, JDM & Hon Agbodza.

Unemployment is personal.

It is hope kept waiting, talent left idle and a family’s sacrifice yet to bear fruit.

The New Economy is Ghana’s refusal to accept wasted potential as normal, and our resolve to turn ability into opportunity and opportunity into the dignity of work!

I paid an unannounced visit to the Sunyani Outer Ring Road project this morning. The Contractor, Kofi Job was on site and working impressively. We project to lay 19km out of the total 34km Binder(first layer of asphalt) by end of the year. We are delivering on our promises .

Usain Bolt said when he was 15, he’d blast everywhere and win easily. He knew how talented he was. He wasn’t working too hard. He just needed to do little.

Then he got his first shocker at how difficult professional sports is.

It was at the Athens 2004 Olympics. He was young and fresh. World Junior Champion in 2002. World Youth Champion in 2003. You know that early invincibility that comes with talented athletes.

He went there with a pad on his shoulders. He said he couldn’t go beyond the first round. That’s when he realised talent alone won’t cut it at the top. He needed intense hard work.

So he worked harder. He said he’d win races and his coach told him he didn’t do the best he could. That he could do more than that. That he wasn’t training enough.

What stayed with me was when he said his coach would calculate the number of days he missed in a year and say “you’ve missed 6 weeks of training this year when added together and that’s too much”.

His coach actually called him ‘lazy’ on radio.

By Osaka 2007 World Athletics Championships, he’d become more mature. He was 21. Of course, still a very young man in the scheme of things. He competed in 200m and was beaten by Tyson Gay who had a championship record.

Ever the good sport, Bolt congratulated Gay and said he’d get him the next time.

At that point, he said he was willing to work hard. He said he wanted to see what’d become of his hard work? If he stretched himself to the limits, what’d it give him?

And he put in the work. He said before Beijing 2008, he was feeling himself and he knew he’d win because he felt he was in that zone.

He won Olympic Gold medals in 100m and 200m at Beijing and did both at world records.

He repeated that feat at two more Olympics and said his aim has always been to conquer three Olympics because that’ll be difficult for anyone to beat.

He’d seen the result of hard work now and said his trainer was right. He left some gas in the tank earlier but the moment he learned to give it his all, he reached the peak of his prowess.

Now here’s the quiet distinction. When asked what he’d have done if he applied his very best and still didn’t win. He said he’d become someone who’d not believe in hard work.

He said if he’d done all that work and ended up losing, he’d not be convinced that it made sense to work hard all the time.

Now imagine all the people who have failed at the point they gave it their all. Their failures could even be a result of conditions or circumstances beyond their control but they’ve gone in with a mindset of “I’ll try it now and see where it lands”.

There’s a bit of confirmation bias there.

Bolt wasn’t given that comfort of having his confirmation bias. He was given more reasons to work hard. He achieved global success.

We are all aware that women remain the backbone of economic growth in many societies, and Ghana is no exception. For this reason, financial inclusion must remain central to our efforts to empower women, strengthen households and build sustainable economies.

President John Dramani Mahama has consistently championed this agenda. One of the particularly significant moments on the sidelines of the 81st United Nations General Assembly was his meeting with Her Majesty Queen Máxima of the Netherlands, the UN Secretary-General’s Special Advocate for Inclusive Finance for Development. Queen Máxima has used her unique platform to advance financial inclusion globally, with a particular focus on women, advocating for greater access to finance, stronger institutions, increased investment, and greater transparency and accountability in the way financial systems serve those who have historically been excluded.

The Ghanaian numbers tell us why this conversation matters. In 2024, 78.3% of Ghanaian women aged 15 and above had an account with a bank or mobile money provider, a remarkable increase from 27.1% in 2011. Yet there remains a gender gap, with account ownership among men standing at 84.4%.

More importantly, access to an account is not the same as access to capital. In the second quarter of 2026, women and women-owned businesses accounted for 82.8% of secured credit transactions in Ghana, yet received only GH¢3.1 billion in secured credit, compared with GH¢19.4 billion advanced to male borrowers and male-owned businesses.

The question, therefore, is no longer simply whether women are participating in the financial system. It is whether the financial system is giving women the capital, terms and opportunities they need to grow.

That is why the meeting between President Mahama and Queen Máxima was so significant. It brought together two strong voices around a shared question: how do we build financial systems that work better for women and, in doing so, unlock their full economic potential?

For Ghana, that conversation must include the future of the Women’s Bank, more affordable lending for women-owned businesses, flexible collateral requirements, access to patient capital, and deliberate support for the growth of women-led industries.

If we are serious about building inclusive, resilient and prosperous economies, then investing in women cannot be an afterthought. It must be at the heart of our development agenda.

I can confirm that the Minister for Finance, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, has approved the payment of three quarters of rent allowances, covering January to September, to personnel of the security services.

All validation processes have been completed by the respective security agencies and the Ministry of the Interior, paving the way for the Controller and Accountant-General’s Department to effect payment.

END.
