Collation center results are the best.
One constituency could have 100+
Or even 200+ polling stations
and tv stations won’t be able to provide from every station.
They will however get you the collation center results when all polling stations have reported
I was in Parliament from when this bill was re-laid, I was there when the principles of the bill was debated at the second reading stage. I was there when the first amendments were passed. I was there when the disagreements.on some exemptions came up and I was there when the bill was passed.
The only significant change to this deeply problematic bill is the insertion of a clause exempting journalists, lawyers, and other professionals whose work might otherwise be deemed promotion of LGBTQ activities.
But pause and consider what that tells us. If a lawyer defends an accused person in an LGBTQ-related matter, why would anyone seek to characterise that as promotion of the act and criminalise it accordingly?
If an academic, protected by the long-established principle of academic freedom, researches or writes on the subject, why would that freedom be curtailed? If a journalist editorialises in the course of their work, why would that be an offence? The answer, of course, is that it would not survive constitutional scrutiny.
Had those exemptions not been inserted, every one of those provisions would have been struck down as unconstitutional. The exemptions were a legal necessity to make a very problematic bill less problematic.
It is also dishonest to suggest the Majority side has introduced amendments that water down the bill originally passed in the previous Parliament. If that original bill was so sound, so fit for purpose, why did the very sponsors of the bill not present the same document to this Parliament? They made changes themselves before reintroducing it to this Parliament.
When Donald Trump accused South Africa of racist acts against some Whites, many of you lamenting here said he was a habitual liar and a buffoon. Now they have turned on Africans and you are here ranting. Now who be the mega buffoon ?Kokloviwo!!😃😃
The Ghana Card? We started conversations about it years before my friend Dr. Bawumia became Vice-President. I remember Herman Chinery Hesse introducing Moses Baiden, the MD of Margins, to me during Kufuor's tenure as the person with the best identity management system for handling our ID cards. Sadly, the Kufuor government preferred some unreliable Europeans who couldn't deliver—partly due to funding issues. Then politics took over. The NDC won the 2008 elections, and a lot changed.
IMANI virtually battled the NIA during the Atta Mills administration to push for the right thing. Mass registrations for ID cards were held in all regions except the then three northern regions.
Apparently, an "improved" technology—one that captured all five fingers instead of the three or four fingers previously captured in the other seven regions—had been "discovered." Sadly, the claim was that all the data collected from millions of Ghanaians in those seven regions wasn't worthy of a national ID system. I remember Moses Baiden and Herman telling me that we could still use the data collected to process authentic IDs, but it all fell on deaf ears at the NIA board at the time. Moses Baiden struggled, but he persevered. I would later be part of a private sector sounding board at the Danish Embassy, alongside Patrick Awuah and Elizabeth Villars, that approved some initial funding for the private company, Margins, to continue his card business during President Mahama's first term.
Then came the NPP under Nana and Bawumia. The NPP abandoned the data collected from the seven regions. They procured technology that captured five fingers. Margins helped through an arrangement with the NIA, and Ghana had to register all over again for ID cards.
So you see, much happened with our ID cards years before Bawumia became Vice-President. He promoted the card, but he didn't initiate it, nor did he invent it. Please, enough already 😃. Happy Eid!
According to the audit into the African Games, one individual, through three different companies, secured multiple contracts covering transportation, accommodation, sports equipment, ticketing and medals, with a combined contract value of 151 million cedis.
One of the companies, which was supposedly providing accommodation services, reportedly did not have the required license and instead operated mainly as an intermediary. Two of the hotels it listed could also not be verified.
The audit further indicated that while the hotels were charging between $50 and $70 per night on average, the intermediary billed the state about $150 per night. As a result, the state is said to have overpaid by roughly 10 million cedis on accommodation services provided through that company alone.

THE STATE OF OUR ROAD TRAFFIC LIGHT SYSTEM
The Department of Urban Roads (DUR) has released a comprehensive briefing on our national traffic signal infrastructure. The data reveals severe structural, financial, and operational challenges that directly impact urban mobility and public safety.
Here are the key takeaways from the April 2026 assessment:
*1. The Numbers*
•411 Total Installations across 11 regions under DUR jurisdiction.
•63% Operational Rate: Only 257 signals are currently functional (ON).
•32% Inactive Rate: 132 signals are down (OFF), causing severe gridlock.
•5% Decommissioned: 22 units have been completely removed due to structural damage or road redesigns.
•Geographic Imbalance: Infrastructure is heavily centralized, with the Greater Accra Region hosting 59% (241) and the Ashanti Region hosting 15% (61) of all signals. Five regions currently have zero traffic lights under DUR oversight.
*2. Why Are the Lights Off?*
Between 2020 and 2026, 587 distinct critical incidents disrupted the network:
•Vehicular Crashes (77.5% / 455 incidents): Reckless driving and overspeeding remain the leading causes of destruction, repeatedly knocking down poles, gantries, and controllers at major intersections like Okponglo, Tesano, and Kasoa.
•Vandalism & Theft (17.4% / 102 incidents): Organized syndicates are actively targeting public infrastructure—stealing expensive computerized controllers, solar panels, inverters, backup batteries, and underground copper cables.
•Equipment Obsolescence: 30 recorded cases of outdated legacy hardware for which replacement parts are no longer manufactured.
*3. Case Study: The Awoshie-Pokuase Corridor*
The Anyaa-Sowutuom stretch highlights the severity of asset degradation:
•At School Junction, a violent crash completely obliterated the solar array and control system, tragically resulting in a driver fatality.
•At Odorgono and Anyaa Market, thieves repeatedly bypassed security enclosures to strip out backup batteries and main micro-controllers.
•Across the corridor, criminals have physically climbed overhead gantries to slice and extract specialized copper solar power delivery cables.
*4. The Institutional Bottlenecks*
Resolving these outages is severely stalled by two major hurdles:
•Contractual Issues .
•. Public Indebtedness: The state currently owes maintenance contractors for previously completed works, bringing rapid-response restorations to a halt.
*5. Security Countermeasures & Enforcement*
To combat theft and protect newly installed assets, the DUR is rolling out:
•Heavy-duty steel internal/external burglarproof cages around control cabinets.
•Thicker iron casing plates and lockable composite underground chamber slabs.
•Strict identity protocols requiring all authorized field technicians to wear branded PPE and display official DUR Identification.
•Increased legal enforcement under the Road Traffic Regulations for damaging public road infrastructure.
*6. Looking to the Future: Tech Modernization*
Long-term relief depends on moving away from standalone lights toward Intelligent Traffic Systems:
•Area-Wide Traffic Signal Control System (AWTSCS): Currently running on the Neoplan-to-CBD corridor (funded by AFD/GoG). It integrates 33 smart controllers, 80 CCTV cameras, and a Bus Priority System feeding into the Accra Traffic Management Centre.
•Accra Intelligent Traffic Management System (AITMS) Phase II: It features a state-of-the-art "Intelligent Tower" command center (65% built). However, overall project progress has stalled at 23% due to ongoing legal disputes, leaving critical high-tech hardware sitting in storage.
Ghana is currently facing a $55m Court Judgement Debt in relation to the Accra Intelligence Traffic Management Contract.
Let’s work together to keep our public road traffic lights working.
Ghana’s AG dropped charges against a man and his wife for allegedly stealing over 70m GHS of state funds because they had new evidence that warranted additional charges
New evidence is; he allegedly received 734k GHS of rent allowance using fake documents
Ghana really amazes me
