I’m excited and honored to host a fireside chat this Sunday at 6pm GMT with Dr. K.Y. Amoako, founder of @GhanaCompact and @AcetforAfrica. We’ll discuss #Ghana’s upcoming elections and its long term future ahead of next week’s elections.  Register:

After months of planning, we are glad to be in #CapeTown this week for the Convergence of social movements in the global south. We at @YIAGA are so delighted to be hosting this convening with the @OpenSociety . The Movements Convergence, tagged "Connected Struggles, Many Voices"

What a tribute to @RailaOdinga ! RIP Jakom, Doyen of Kenya’s modern democratic republic.

The days of disregarding reports because government says so are long gone. Licensing =/= traceability. @Beatrice_Annan1 can you explain to Ghanaians how GoldBod ensures these licensed buyers don’t buy from galamsey mines? Does GoldBod know which mines they buy from?

This is frankly unacceptable. We need “further and better particulars.” What “circumstances beyond your control” are you referring to?!

I don’t want “proud of you” o. I want okay “we are standing united in this fight” Dedicate 2-3 tweets a day to educating people on the harmful effects of galamsey. We also need plans on how to reach these communities to educate and empower people in this fight against Galamsey.

Asɛm bi de ka, ɛ de ka whana bɛ ka?

And neither the @NDCGhana nor @nppghanahq has gone after the galamsey financiers. Mr. AG, what happened to the prosecution of Wontumi??!

The best speech I heard at #UNGA80 was by @JDMahama. Clear, confident, courageous, and credible in its Pan African vision of history and the future of the UN

If Nkrumah came back, this generation would betray him. He was lucky to be born at a time when the people cherished their liberty and risked their lives for it. Indeed, time and circumstances make heroes.

The definition of galamsey has long moved beyond whether someone holds a license or not. On that basis, arguments about which government has issued more or fewer licenses are meaningless. The party in power has the responsibility to confront the menace directly. The growing body

Would have been a perfect birthday gift for Nkrumah if Ghana had made the podium but I’ll take this too. African pride!

Happy Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Day! Today, we honour the legacy of a visionary leader who fought for the liberation and progress of Ghana. 🇬🇭

“Yet even when African leaders talk about power, they talk about generation capacity, not reliability. It’s hard to take our industrialization dreams seriously when 95% of the continent’s utilities are insolvent.”

This is such a brilliant interview and @benkoku ‘s point is so crucial. The law is there for all to read. Law should not be some set of mysterious concepts non lawyers cannot understand. Mysterious, difficult to understand laws undermine the rule of law!

Days after @fourthestategh exposed how an NDC aligned group forcefully took over a licensed mine in Prestea Huni-Valley with National Security support, a party official has confirmed the involvement of the Member of Parliament for the area. Read more:

Responsible mining won’t be learned on a plane to Australia. It must be taught in Ghana, where the damage is happening. Cost-effective: Flying experts in is cheaper and more scalable than sending hundreds of miners abroad. Inclusive: More miners can be trained at once in Ghana,

Yep. True under Akuffo-Addo and true under @JDMahama

Btw we will never go the Nepal way because kwa ground most of us are looking for proximity to the ruling class and don't really care about a working system but would want the system to be in one's favour

Mr. President, your "fight" against illegal mining is very underwhelming. Like the other sectors, if you do well, we'll see it.

You could be talking about Ghana! We elevate money above every virtue and it is the church, which should be a bastion of morality which promotes this attitude. Pharisees who don’t read their bibles! How would they know that “the love of money is the root of all evil”!
