I found an anwamo seller at Accra Newtown. Close to the Access bank. Ghc8.00 is what is in the picture. No please it isn’t premium perfume rice. My bet is she uses Lele but it tasted really nice. If you find yourself there, patronize her okay.
Some of you are going to be 30 in the next 4 years. Some of you will be 27. Some of you will be 25. Your mates in developed countries have jobs in a stable economy, have bigger opportunities, some already marrying and starting families. Most of them are not related to any senator, or director of a company, or congressman. All they have is their brain and their hand, and the system pushes them to greater heights as long as they’re willing. Look within, think for yourself and your family. Vote based on that.
I don’t even limit it to just romance. People aren’t living their true authentic self. So many people have been unconsciously influenced. Everything is curated to fit a certain image. They speak a certain way, they like the same things, they all want to dress the same way.

📍Their crime is that they had the audacity to ask for illegal mining to stop. A demand that benefits all of us. Free every single one of them.

1. Everybody in Ghana now knows that the government has ramped up the issuance of mining licenses.
2. Between 1988 & Nov 2022, only 150 licenses were issued in Ghana.
3. From 2022 to date, more than 1400 licenses have been issued.
4. In sound policy analysis, however, you dont end there. You connect the dots. Is this just increased efficiency? Better tech? Or what? And why is there any problem with increasing LEGAL mining operations?
5. Detailed analysis shows that this massive ramp-up is due to an increase in political pressure on the Minerals Commission.
6. For instance, in 2019, the Mines Ministry approved 100+ small scale mining (SSM) licenses & nearly 20 mining leases.
7. Yet, the Minerals Commission only confirmed 1 mining lease & 14 blocks for SSM. The mad rush to issue licenses clearly started after 2022 when it was made easier to mine in forests. Clear political overriding of technical decision-making? Was the ministerial change in Feb 2021 a trigger?
8. Why is this an issue? Mainly because the number of inspectors at the Minerals Commission & the Mining Dept of the EPA have not increased enough to match this expansion. Clearly, there has been little thought paid to inspections.
9. Last year, there were barely 38 qualified Minerals Commission inspectors for the whole country after the government sacked 9 District Mine inspectors in 2017.
10. Unsurprisingly, mining inspections dropped significantly over time in some mining hotspots. For instance, in 2016, there were 138 inspections in Bibiani. In 2019, only 46 were conducted. For the whole country only 383 inspections of surface mining operations took place that year. That's barely one inspection per day in the whole country.
11. It takes years to train a qualified mining inspector. There is a limit to how many effective inspections each can conduct over a period. It also takes time and personnel to review new applications.
12. Ten years ago, there were about 220 personnel at the Minerals Commission. Today, that number is still less than 300. How, then, is the agency managing an increase in workload of more than 10x? Is this reasonable? See pictures of some of their district offices taken last year below.
