I shouldn't normally write such a piece on a matter that has yet to travel its full way in court. Yes, the MP for Asante Akyem North is innocent until proven guilty. At the same time, his story is a total indictment of the Ghana that elites have built! The whole country is on the verge of becoming a scam-factory. Let's walk through some of the highlights. The MP was grabbed off a KLM flight on 10th May by Dutch Police on an American warrant. Within a week, Parliament had found him a lawyer. The Majority Chief Whip nevertheless complained about lack of transparency on the part of the Dutch authorities. Which suggests that local intelligence and law enforcement had zero awareness. ZERO. Now we have the filla. Court records reported this week describe an 18-count indictment in the United States: 15 counts of money laundering and bank fraud, 3 of wire fraud, 6 alleged victims, and single transfers as large as $550,000, many during the pandemic. The amounts in question run to millions of dollars. Like I said, a court is yet to pronounce. What interests me, however, is the pace of this MP's rise and how it aligns so closely with the chronology of scams in the indictment. In January 2020 he opened Salt 95.9 FM in Agogo, with two of Ghana’s best-known broadcasters at the launch. That is the same year that he is alleged to have defrauded a victim of $515,000 using the bank account of his parents' broke restaurant in Chicago. A month later, he handed the National Chief Imam $4,000 and GH¢10,000, explaining that he had “succeeded after travelling outside”. By 2021 profiles said he gave cash to more than 2,000 widows a year. Then came the awards, half a dozen in about a year. A whole bevy of news sites and bloggers published with gusto about how he had assembled a business empire within the few years since he returned from the US: Wealthbridge Limited, Smart Group, Real Estate, etc. etc. The one I find most fascinating is the BOFROT. Yes, some red-faced hype-guru actually said the MP's meteoric rise came from inventing a special mix for bofrot/puff-puff and then watching his business blow up. Bofrot. Specifically his "kub" brand of the round snack. Clearly, most of us are dunces. But surely if there are such fortunes hiding in bofrot, Maa Yaa at Fanti New Town wouldn't have waited all this while for this burger to come and scoop it all up? In January 2024, the paramount chief of Agogo commissioned a 3,000-capacity mosque the MP had built, and he used the occasion to announce his run for Parliament. He later said he had “singlehandedly” funded Medikal’s sold-out night at the O2 Indigo in London in May 2024. Every single one of those spending acts line up with the exact years the indictment mention as when the big romance scam transfers were made into various accounts he controlled. In February 2024 the NPP held its primary in Asante Akyem North, a stronghold once dominated by a finance minister. The incumbent won, amid widespread allegations of vote-buying by various contestants. The indicted MP ignored that market. He went straight to the 38,000 people who would vote in December, with a mosque, a clinic, cash for widows and a radio station staffed by his hype-men. It was a landslide! 70.3% as an independent. In parliament, he went straight for the ruling party benches. How else to get close to power? CDD says the cost of winning a parliamentary nomination escalated from GH¢390,000 in the 2016 cycle to ~GH¢4 million by 2020. It found nine political financiers engaged in serious organised crime, seven of them in galamsey. IMANI has crazier intel it is still validating. Open buying season for political power fueled by galamsey. And now, it looks like cocaine is refusing to accept that galamsey alone can take the glory. In early September French customs at Dunkirk opened a container of plastic waste shipped from Ghana and found 3.9 tonnes of cocaine, worth €225 million. Ghana’s Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) links it to the network of Jos “Bolle Jos” Leijdekkers, a Dutch fugitive convicted in absentia in the Netherlands and Belgium and believed to be sheltering in Sierra Leone. Bolle Jos is said to employ Ghanaian bodyguards. Four people are before the High Court in Accra, among them a 34-year-old East Legon spa owner whom the local press calls a “big girl”, and her fiancé, known as “Accra Chief” and suspected of being the network’s Ghana point man. She says she did not know the nature of his business. They too are presumed innocent. Dunkirk was not an outlier. In March 2025 intelligence officers pulled 3.3 tonnes of cocaine from beneath the sand in a tipper truck at Pedu Junction in Cape Coast; eighteen months on, the driver and his mate have been charged and the “prime suspects” remain free. In April, Australian border officers found 320 kilograms of methamphetamine in charcoal shipped from Ghana. The opposition says a ship called MV Sankofa left Ghana after paying a fraction of its fine and was later caught with narcotics in Senegal. A mess wearing a top hat! The MP's fraud case is hardly an isolated case. In August 2025 Ghana extradited three alleged leaders, two of them styled “chairmen”, of a ring that US prosecutors say stole more than $100 million through romance scams and email fraud; one was sentenced in July to 85 months. One of the fraudsters in the long chain to that moment was or probably still is the most-followed Ghanaian on Instagram. In Interpol’s 2025 romance-scam sweep across fourteen African countries, Nigeria included, Ghana supplied 68 of the 260 arrests: more than a quarter. The Global Organized Crime Index now calls Ghana “a known hub” for romance fraud and scores the role of state-embedded actors in crime at 7.5 out of 10. Friends, we are dealing with an epidemic! With a consistent pattern. But katanomics means that there is no real national learning so expect the pattern to replicate and eventually overwhelm. Expect Big Money to keep showing up without any serious sign of genuine business acumen. Often through a diaspora triangle of Accra, London and an American city. Packaged into overnight philanthropy. Expect every gate in the country leading to prestige and power to be opened up immediately money drops on the table. Expect the Scam-Lords to continue playing on the stagnant Ghanaian sense of respectability and buy their way to palaces, mosques, churches, and dens of socialites. With an occasional radio station to boot. Expect these "glamorous entanglements" with power and prestige to buy immunity. Of fourteen major scam/fraud/drug cases I examined for this piece, ten were set in motion by foreign agencies. Ghanaian institutions predictably arrive on the scene later. To confirm, to remand, and set up committees. The country has outsourced risk management to the American FBI. Even as I write, another overnight sensation is probably cooking up the same pattern for overnight success. He or she is probably dishing out charity to widows somewhere in the country. Soon, there will be clerical blessings, then chiefly patronage, and, finally, floodgates thrown wide open. The "Dr." title follows and media coronation paves the way into parliament. As the same Ghanaian elites mouth off pious platitudes about "national development" and what have you. Howzat? (Image from midjourney.)

1. Ghana's Finance Minister has been ruthless and hyper-efficient in trying to close Ghana's IMF program on a high note. The previous administration also generally had the same approach but some feel that the current lot are stricter. 2. One way this manifests is in "arrears". If contractors and suppliers to the government don't get paid, austerity can be "approximated", and government books can look very good on the surface. 3. The challenge is that sometimes arrears (on both cash and commitment basis) can be "hidden" so that the official fiscal balance (primary or otherwise) doesn't tell the full story (cue: Senegal 2020 to 2023). 4. The IMF likes the books to look good but they also worry about any potential hidden arrears backlash. One way forward is to demand transparency. 5. After IMF staff reached an agreement with the Ghanaian government on the review of the current program on October 10th, Ghana was poised to receive $385 million by the end of December. But only after the customary IMF Board approval (which is usually a formality as the Board is made up mostly of govt reps - they are rarely stricter than the staff.) 6. The IMF expressed interest in the government being transparent about the arrears. 7. So, a few days ago, Ghana's Auditor General dumped a large file on the public containing INTERIM audit results of outstanding fiscal arrears as of December 31st 2024. Note "interim". 8. A lot of arrears even as of December 2024 are not captured. For example, Zipline arrears for drone deliveries (must be in the tens of millions of dollars) and monies owed to Lightwave (about $25 million) for connecting Ghanaian health facilities to health agencies, like the public health insurer. 9. Because the government has still not terminated a number of projects or repudiated some obligations that a traditional austerity program would have required, arrears have also continued to build up in 2025. 10. The Auditor General's interim audit report strangely contained no commentary. So, it is left to your friendly neighbourhood think-tankers to tell you a bit more. And we will, including possible Right-to-Information requests to clarify how much of the arrears arose through sole-sourcing etc. 11. For now, find below the barebones after a quick pass-through. 12. Captured arrears amount to 90 billion GHS ($8.2 billion). More than 66% related to road infrastructure. The Auditor General has rejected $1.1 billion of the claims from the companies and asked them to appeal. $7.1 billion of the claims are in limbo. The Auditor General wants more evidence. 13. Only $100m of Agenda 111 arrears are captured. 14. ~$5bn of arrears are owed to 25 companies out of roughly 3000 firms with captured arrears. 15. Chinese companies have seen some of the biggest rejections of their claims. China International Water & Electric leads by far - $230 million of claims rejected. Any link to the delays in getting debt relief from China? Even the President's visit couldn't break the logjam. 16. Some of the arrears are odd. Out of its total GHS 821 million in arrears, Zoomlion is claiming GHS 400m for "evacuation of old age refuse"! And GHS 148m for "beautifying" regional capitals. The Ghana Card has led to arrears of almost $300 million owed to the private partner (with supposed rebates to NIA.) 17. I was surprised to see that the company with the single largest pending commitment claim (~$770 million), Jabass 69, is one I have never heard of and it is for REGRAVELLING of a relatively obscure road: Wiaga - Kadema - Naga. Afona Ltd also has a ~$680 million commitment claim for use, once approved, in regravelling Missiga - Garu - Sissie road. The problem is that several other companies like Hinra and Razaam also claim to have contracts to regravel the same road, just for much smaller amounts. 18. The problem of large arrears, in this case with captured arrears alone at about 10% of GDP (with many claims yet to be captured), can create credibility issues about public debt management in general. 19. The 2024 IMF governance diagnostic shows that the arrears problem is part of a tight chain of other problems like poor prioritisation, shady procurement practices, and the inability to restrain political elites that see public spending as simple tools for patronage with limited connection to development. 20. There is a lot more to say but for now we will just keep chasing the data and official explanations, and then share our analysis with the Public. (Attached are some crude charts. I know the data visualisation purists don't like my charting game. But they should take it like that. 😊)

1. I sometimes envy people with hobbies. Those who can lose themselves in football, gaming and clubbing 2. I on the other hand, spend too much of my time thinking about Ghana. Not in the abstract, but in that daily ache that comes from watching a country wrestle with the weight of its own contradictions. 3. I think about corruption, about power, about the strange comfort with which we live alongside injustice. I think about redemption more often than I think about my own finances, which might explain both my frustration and my poverty of peace. 4. I am terrified of ORAL because I have seen what happens when the powerful get convicted - if they are ever convicted. Still even convicted, the convicted elite do not serve time. They find ways to curate prison. They occupy hospital wards and enjoy the company of visitors. It is from there that they await the soft landing of a presidential pardon, that has never failed in coming. 5. What terrifies me is not just the unfairness of it all, but what it teaches us about the (de) meaning of justice. The question, then, is what happens when a people stop believing that justice is possible. 6. This is what keeps me awake. Not just the corruption we see, but the quiet, spiritual corruption that follows: that weary acceptance that nothing will change. This is my hobby. 7. Justice does not live on paper. It lives in the moral imagination of a people; and in their willingness to trust that right can still speak above power. 8..After the Anas exposé, we acted as though exposure was the same as reform. But sunlight alone does not heal a wound. It takes discipline, vigilance, and a willingness to change the very habits of oversight. 9. What if nothing changed? Y3nim nso y3bisa!

Lagos Avenue, a fiction by Manasseh Azure Awuni ************************************************** "There was a good reason I always wanted to engage. The tone of the voice said a lot about a man. Beyond the words, I tried to read their character from how they spoke, to discern humans from the beasts. Not that I could change the outcome, but it prepared me for what to expect and how to take it. Sometimes, I wonder which is better—to be surprised by a predicament or know it ahead of time and suffer it mentally before confronting it in reality. My life had been an even blend of both, and I couldn’t say which was better. However, I still needed enough clues to predict the future, even if that future meant a few minutes away from the inescapable traps of the life I had chosen. Or rather, the cruel trap life had chosen for me. "Almost all the important decisions of my life ran counter to my wishes. They were mostly swim-or-sink choices, and when you’re in such situations, you lose agency in your choices. You yield to the capricious dictates of the universe and swim where the tide is bearable. The sensible thing to do is to get to safety first and decide which way to head. In my case, each riverbank of safety was soon menaced with so much danger that I had to continue swimming for my survival. It had been like what I once heard an elder in my village say: ‘If what is chasing you has not stopped, you don’t stop running.’ I had run into beasts, like the fat-headed young man who nearly beat me to pulp until I lied to him that my client, who was a big man at the National Security, knew where I was at every time. My only crime that night had been my insistence that I wouldn’t allow him in without a condom." You can read my full story, Lagos Avenue, from the link here: https://t.co/XPavCh2xb6

One more time: The Ballon D'or REALLY doesn't matter. It's just another magazine award. 1956-1995 - Only for European players. 2010 - Milito wins the treble, scores 30 goals, scores in every final... not even in the top 30. Messi wins the Ballon D'or with 0 goals in the World Cup over Iniesta, Xavi and Sneijder because "international football doesn't decide the Ballon D'or winner". 2012 - Ronaldo scores 60 goals and leads Real Madrid to the record breaking La Liga title and Euro semifinals with Portugal. Messi wins it with 73 season goals, having only won the Copa Del Rey. So, "La Liga alone doesn't decide the Ballon D'or winner". 2013 - Now Ronaldo wins the Ballon D'or with 55 goals, even though Messi scored 60 goals and won La Liga and Ribery won treble with Bayern. This is probably the magazine making up for snubbing Ronaldo in the past. 2018 - One of Ronaldo's best seasons. Modrić wins it because of the World Cup. (Ballon D'or 2010 then???) 2019 - Van Dijk has arguably the greatest ever season by a CB, wins UCL. Messi wins it for winning La Liga alone. (Ballon D'or 2012 then???) 2020 - Lewandoski is the clear best player in the world, treble winner, historic season. Ballon D'or gets canceled for some reason (???). 2021 - Lewandowski is, again, the clear best player in the world. 48 goals and completes the sextuple. Messi wins it despite only winning the Copa Del Rey and scoring 38 goals. He also won the Copa America, a much smaller trophy than the World Cup. (Ballon D'or 2010 then???) 2023 - Haaland scores 52 goals, breaks every record and wins the treble with Man City. Messi wins the Ballon D'or only because of the World Cup, despite not doing anything noteworthy all season for PSG (Explain Ballon D'or 2010???). Rodri has the season of his life, finishes 5th. 2024 - Vinicius leads Real Madrid to La Liga and Champions League, scoring in semifinal and final. Rodri wins the Ballon D'or despite having a worse year than 2023 and not winning the Champions League. Rodri is probably getting this Ballon D'or because he didn't get one in 2023, so it makes sense for the voters that he gets one now (even though Vinicius probably had more impact). Magazine award, it can't be taken as seriously as some people do.

Iconic_Mourinho's tweet photo. One more time: The Ballon D'or REALLY doesn't matter. It's just another magazine award.

1956-1995 - Only for European players.

2010 - Milito wins the treble, scores 30 goals, scores in every final... not even in the top 30. Messi wins the Ballon D'or with 0 goals in the World Cup over Iniesta, Xavi and Sneijder because "international football doesn't decide the Ballon D'or winner".

2012 - Ronaldo scores 60 goals and leads Real Madrid to the record breaking La Liga title and Euro semifinals with Portugal. Messi wins it with 73 season goals, having only won the Copa Del Rey. So, "La Liga alone doesn't decide the Ballon D'or winner".

2013 - Now Ronaldo wins the Ballon D'or with 55 goals, even though Messi scored 60 goals and won La Liga and Ribery won treble with Bayern. This is probably the magazine making up for snubbing Ronaldo in the past.

2018 - One of Ronaldo's best seasons. Modrić wins it because of the World Cup. (Ballon D'or 2010 then???)

2019 - Van Dijk has arguably the greatest ever season by a CB, wins UCL. Messi wins it for winning La Liga alone. (Ballon D'or 2012 then???)

2020 - Lewandoski is the clear best player in the world, treble winner, historic season. Ballon D'or gets canceled for some reason (???).

2021 - Lewandowski is, again, the clear best player in the world. 48 goals and completes the sextuple. Messi wins it despite only winning the Copa Del Rey and scoring 38 goals. He also won the Copa America, a much smaller trophy than the World Cup. (Ballon D'or 2010 then???)

2023 - Haaland scores 52 goals, breaks every record and wins the treble with Man City. Messi wins the Ballon D'or only because of the World Cup, despite not doing anything noteworthy all season for PSG (Explain Ballon D'or 2010???). Rodri has the season of his life, finishes 5th.

2024 - Vinicius leads Real Madrid to La Liga and Champions League, scoring in semifinal and final. Rodri wins the Ballon D'or despite having a worse year than 2023 and not winning the Champions League. Rodri is probably getting this Ballon D'or because he didn't get one in 2023, so it makes sense for the voters that he gets one now (even though Vinicius probably had more impact).

Magazine award, it can't be taken as seriously as some people do.

We may have become so used to corruption and mismanagement of government money that we don’t seem to care about news of such things anymore. However, this SSNIT issue is a completely different one. It is a very serious issues because of the nature of the money which SSNIT holds and uses. Because of this, I'll try and explained - to the very basics - the nature of the monies that SSNIT directors sit on. That way, you can properly decide for yourself whether to ignore this scandal too. I’m sorry, this is going to be quite long. Like all financial service institutions, SSNIT does not have or use its own money. However, saying that SSNIT does not use its own money doesn’t really do justice to the issue. I need to add that SSNIT uses other people’s money. Well, this, too, doesn’t do justice to the issues at all. That’s because other people’s money could mean some strange unknown people’s money. It could also mean tax money. And, because, often, people don’t care about tax money or unknown people’s money - which is fine - this too doesn’t d justice to the issue. Now let me tell you the real source of the monies that SSNIT directors hold and use. To better understand this, take a step back and look at your salary. When you toil and work, you’re entitled to all the money that your employer has agreed to pay to you after you pay your tax to the government. Unfortunately, you don’t get all your salary, even after the government has taken its taxes. Rather, a part of your salary is still taken (by force) and given to SSNIT. So, truly, SSNIT’s money is actually your PERSONAL money - money which should have come directly into your pocket, but which the government has taken by force and given to SSNIT directors. The next question is - why did the government make a law to, by force, take your money and hand it over to SSNIT? The reason is this: we (human beings) grow old and weak; and when we do, we can’t work to earn money to take care of ourselves. So, like the proverbial ant, we need to manage or save our money while we are still strong. That way, we can, in our old and weak age, spend the money that we saved while we were young and strong. However, this is the thing - the government, for good reason, doesn’t trust that each of us could manage our monies wisely or save it properly for use in our old or weak age. So, government made a law which gives them the power to take a part of our salaries by force, but with the promise that they will give it to SSNIT to manage more effectively for us. That way, when we are old, weak, and can’t work, we could go for that money small small to take care of ourselves until God calls us from this world. From this explanation, you will know immediately that the one and only one reason SSNIT exists is the promise or assurance that it's directors can keep, protect, and manage our PERSONAL monies better than us. This promise is a sacred one, as it is good. However, guess what - earlier this year, it came out that SSNIT is not likely to pay pension to us from the year 2037. But, how could they if this is the kind of decisions they are sitting there and taking? You see, you can be greedy and do anything you wish with any public tax money. You can steal it. You can give it to your cousins and nephews. You can ship it into offshore accounts. You can even set fire to it and burn it. However, we need to draw the line somewhere. When you specifically target people’s PERSONAL money which they have kept for spending in their old and weak age, so that from 2037, people can’t get the monies they expect to rely on for survival at a time that they can’t work, then you have crossed the line. Then, you have crossed the line.
