Over the last year, unemployment in Ghana has worsened. It's even worse compared to 2017 levels. Share of salary/wage employment in total employment has also declined. And I still cannot verify the 'jobs created' by govt from public data. My latest article

If the Ministry of Finance and one of its own agencies, the Controller and Accountant-General’s Department, can’t get public debt figures to align, maybe it’s time to bring in SML to work some of that same magic they performed to reconcile NPA and GRA data.

People who were presumably “targeted” in the “banking sector clean-up” as a form of political retribution are now somehow offering to pay 60% of the alleged losses to the state in exchange for halting their prosecutions. If they were truly targeted and had done nothing wrong,.

The PURC has released the decision paper behind the Q3 2.45% increase in electricity tariffs. One thing that stands out is that if the Commission had strictly followed its established quarterly tariff adjustment formula, consumers would have seen a 23% reduction in tariffs, even

The NDC promised to conduct a forensic audit into the banking sector clean-up, firmly believing the entire exercise was politically motivated. Yet, there have been no updates on whether that audit has even begun. At the same time, the government continues to drop prosecutions

Hahaha the PR campaign for Ato Essien’s release is going to hit next level. Because if the cases against many of those involved in the banking sector mess are being discontinued, then why should he remain in jail? This government, from its days in opposition, has consistently

The @GhanaGOLDBOD promised transparency in its operations. One of the ways it committed to doing that was by publishing quarterly reports on its website detailing gold volumes purchased, revenues, expenditures, and general operations, including signed contracts. We are now in Q3

Hey @grok, is your use of interactions as a proxy for profile visits really accurate? If I frequently interact with an account, why would I still need to visit their profile? Shouldn’t frequent interactions correlate with lower profile visits? .Also, are likes really public data.

In the past couple of months, we’ve heard little from independent power producers threatening to shut down, and reports of power outages have also dropped significantly. That’s a sign the Cash Waterfall Mechanism is working as intended. Even though ECG’s collections fall short as

For the avoidance of doubt, the financial statements shared by the MP do not clear the Cathedral’s accounts. In fact, the auditors issued a disclaimer of opinion for each set of financial statements from 2021 to 2023, the period during which the bulk of Cathedral spending

Cathedral management when auditors flag issues about the Adjaye contract 🤣

Politicians are funny. The Cathedral audit uncovered damning findings, many of which were detailed in the management report issued by Deloitte. Those are the issues the Government Communications Minister spoke to. Yet here we have an MP posting just the financial statements,

No wonder they rushed to the public square to declare that the audit cleared them and launched their vindication crusades on social media. Men of God, entrusted with building a Cathedral that no one asked for, ended up mismanaging state funds, and together with their followers,.

The government must release more information on the proposed amendments to the fiscal terms and engage in broader consultations. For instance, some analysts question Atlantic Lithium’s reported current internal rate of return of 14%, arguing that it should be higher even with the

RT @BBSimons: 1. Ghana's mines minister says he has asked Cabinet to amend the lease granted to the owners of Ghana's first lithium mine, E….

I remain unmoved by the antics of the OSP when it comes to high-profile cases. I need to see results. The OSP isn’t a cheap office. Last year, it spent 143 million cedis, including 63 million on employee compensation alone. That’s substantial. On a per-employee basis, it has one

A listening government 😏.

All hail the “transparent process” used to appoint the CEO and board of the Goldbod. One of those sweet stories the government tells the IMF, but a far cry from reality 🤣🤣🤣

We praised the government for its commendable efforts at broader stakeholder consultations in developing legislation and policies, but that approach now seems to be fading with time. The additional levy on petroleum products bill was passed without broader stakeholder.

I have read the Scholarship Bill a few times, and here are my thoughts/questions:. 1) I find the creation of a Scholarship Authority unnecessary. In my view, all student financial aid should be consolidated. Why can’t the Student Loan Trust Fund (SLTF) administer government
