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

Akufo-Addo and his government are essentially saying you can only protest where and how they decide. Step outside those boundaries, and you're treated like a criminal - facing police brutalities and court actions. What a joke!

The elite in an oil rich economy that’s projecting a $5.5bn surplus in the current fiscal year are slamming the government for sending about 100 people to the climate conference in Dubai. Then there’s an extremely broke Ghana sending 618 people to the same conference 😭😭😭

A startup with no clients got a huge contract (>$25m/year) through sole sourcing to provide services that industry players (incl. senior public servants) say are irrelevant. Ghana’s finance minister expanded the scope of work so the company would make >$100m/year for 10 years 🤦🏿‍♂️

Exchange rate depreciation is such a straightforward thing that doesn’t even need to be covered in percentages, unless to deceive. When you took power, one needed 4 cedis to buy a $1. Now, one needs over 15 cedis to buy the same $1. How do you tell yourselves you’ve done better?

Keep the pressure on. Provide them evidence. Force them to respond. Don’t let anyone tell you that these protests are not going anywhere. They’re watching. They’re trying to respond. A luta continua #OccupyJulorbiHouse

The portrayal of the Ghana Card as a solution to every problem must stop at some point so we can find real solutions to real problems. It's clearly absurd, yet I’m sure there will be articles filled with complex language, hailing it as innovative and game-changing.

We already have a lot of “scandals” that are verifiable and can sustain this protest for months. Let’s stick with those and not introduce any materials that have many red flags re: authenticity. We cannot be seen to be spreading misinformation, please #OccupyJulorbiHouse

You guys don’t understand and it’s sad. The military shouldn’t be able to brutalize civilians because their colleague was killed. They should allow the police to investigate. It’s not okay for them to disregard laws like that.

Why don't you show the average cost of 1GB of data in Ghana before and after designating MTN as SMP to see if your intent to level the playing field and protect consumer choice is working? Also, show whether MTN's market share has declined since the designation.

Here’s another silly unrealistic vote-seeking promise. Auditors have pointed out that regional airports are struggling financially, so why would a small country like Ghana need all these additional airports? So many productive areas to invest a $2bn loan in, not airports

Passport application fees increased by 400%. By November, we’ll be hearing about how ‘digitalization’ has significantly improved revenues at the Passport Office, just like how tariffs increased significantly but ECG’s revenue growth was attributed to digitalization 🤷🏾‍♂️

Looks like the Ghana Revenue Agency is the land of sole sourcing. Anyway, contrary to denials by govt, a private company received a contract of 4.5m cedis for implementation of the failed e-levy #OccupyJulorbiHouse

Feels like setting the stage to introduce some homegrown solutions to mobilize revenue. Won’t be surprised if new taxes are introduced on Wednesday.

Accountability seems foreign in Ghana now. A parliamentary candidate recklessly suggested beating security forces to appease illegal miners. He didn't apologize, claiming he was misconstrued. His party hasn't called him out, and the Ghana Armed Forces released a generic statement
