@kwadwosheldon Which part of the word progressing that you didn't understand. How do you connote 'progression' to mean 'completion'. Jandam yɛ mo dɛ ooh.

This is not entirely true and you need to follow issues to appreciate it

State institutions have the said data you keep hammering they don’t have and it is in Parliament every time

There’s AuG report on toilet facilities in gov’t schools in Ghana

GES, GHS etc have the data

It's only in Randy Abbey's case that a man finding multiple streams of income is a problem. It is only in his case that two jobs that has no conflict of interest becomes a problem and now people are asking him to drop one. WHY?

I just love how the contractor for the Agogo town roads project is handling things. I wish all contractors were like that.

If we want to hold leadership accountable as Ghanaian youth, we need to do with facts and not propaganda and unverified info just to rage bait citizens
Once such citizens find out correct info, our drive wanes as people lose interest
Let’s do better than the older generation

The NPP is truly a dishonest bunch. On 31 January 2024, the Head of Fintech and Innovation at the Bank of Ghana, under the leadership of Governor Dr. Ernest Addison, wrote to MTN regarding a proposed 0.75% charge on certain transactions.
Yet, the same NPP that was in government when this correspondence was issued later held a press conference accusing the Mahama administration of reintroducing the E-Levy through the back door over a similar 0.75% transaction charge. The contradiction is glaring. If a 0.75% charge was being considered and engaged by regulators under the previous administration, on what basis was the current government accused of secretly reintroducing the E-Levy? Ghanaians deserve honesty, consistency, and facts, not political deception and misinformation.
The Minority Leader together with his NPP owe the people of Ghana an explanation and indeed an apology for the false narrative advanced against this Dr Asiama and this government. There is no ambiguity in the contents of this letter.
