68 Years of Ghana’s Independence: A Time for Reflection & Renewal



Today, we celebrate 68 years of Ghana’s independence—a journey of resilience, progress, and lessons. As we honour our past, we must also ask: Are we building the nation we envisioned?



True independence goes beyond symbolism; it requires strong institutions, accountable leadership, economic prosperity, and opportunities for all. The work of nation-building continues, and the responsibility is ours.



Let’s move forward with integrity, innovation, and a commitment to good governance. Ghana’s best years must still lie ahead!



Wishing all Ghanaians a Happy Independence Day.

Should last-minute public sector recruitment be banned or regulated?



Our VP, Kofi Bentil, calls for a law to prevent rushed government hiring before transitions. He argues that such practices strain national resources and weaken governance.

I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the outpouring of birthday wishes and warm messages. Each of your kind words has made this day even more special and I truly appreciate the love and support I continue to receive from such remarkable individuals.

As I reflect on another year, I am reminded of the amazing people who inspire and motivate me every day—whether through our shared work at IMANI Africa or in the personal connections we’ve built. Your support strengthens my resolve to keep pushing for the positive change we believe in.

Thank you once again for making my birthday memorable. I look forward to another year of growth, collaboration and success with all of you.

"I understand President John Dramani Mahama recently travelled to the Gambia and Senegal on his brother's private jet. The Acting spokesman for the president, Hon. Felix Kwakye Ofosu, explained that the visit was at no cost the taxpayer, and l choose to believe it given the president's brother is a generous man and has done some public good in the past with his own money.



However, can Hon. Kwakye Ofosu tell us if the cost of this visit was classified as a gift to the state and declared, given that the president's brother is a private citizen? As you are well aware, not long ago, a finance minister under the recently overwhelmingly retired NPP government told us he was not receiving salary, we believed him and look where it ended us—a debt iceberg, 'pickpocketing' miserly savings of innocent and defenceless citizens in the name of debt exchange and the coup de grâce, junk-rated economy.



In other news, the president's ministerial nominees for critical sectors continue to be great. Tomorrow, we should be thrilled by their experience and maturity in their responses at the confirmation hearings or vetting when the nominees for Agriculture, Roads and Transport and Education appear before the appointments committee in Parliament.



Hopefully, the questions would be rigorous as part of what IMANI fellow, Mr. Ato Coleman describes as "screening methodologies beyond political links." Ato believes "we need a more robust performance management system that transparently shows that objectives, outputs, and outcomes that our ministers & teams are delivering, what the KPIs are, and how we track progress.". I agree."
