BANKING WITH GHOSTS: WHEN ADB LOOKED AWAY

There’s a question Ghana has been too polite to ask:
How does ₵31 million move through a regulated bank without alarms going off? How do nearly 10,000 fake names pass through a system built on compliance, risk management, and anti-money laundering checks?

The answer is blunt — this wasn’t banking as usual. It was banking that looked away.

The Agricultural Development Bank (ADB) may not have created the ghosts in the National Service Authority’s ₵653 million scandal, but it kept them alive. Money doesn’t move itself — it needs channels, authorizations, and signatures. ADB provided all three.

Under the Banks and Specialised Deposit-Taking Institutions Act, 2016 (Act 930) and the Anti-Money Laundering Act, 2020 (Act 1044), no ₵31 million should have slipped through unnoticed. Yet ADB’s systems slept while public money vanished.

A bank built to nourish farmers became the feeding tube for phantoms.

This failure runs in layers — negligence, dereliction, and likely complicity.

Negligence: Repetitive, high-value payments went unflagged.

Dereliction: ADB ignored due diligence and processed fake beneficiaries without verification.

Complicity: Fraud of this magnitude does not go unseen — someone inside made it possible.

By law, banks are liable not only for what they know, but for what they should have known. ADB failed both tests.

This scandal is more than an NSA problem; it’s a mirror of how Ghana’s financial institutions have become safe passageways for public theft. When banks stop asking questions, corruption stops needing answers.

If ADB had done its job, the ghosts would have starved.
Instead, they thrived — because even our banks have learned how to live comfortably with the dead.

🇬🇭 CEDI APPRECIATION YIELDS RELIEF FOR GHANAIAN CITIZENS 💰✨

Adom Communications Bureau Report

The recent appreciation of the Ghana cedi against major trading currencies — particularly the US dollar — is beginning to show tangible benefits for ordinary citizens, traders, and businesses across the country. 📉💪🏾

According to market monitoring, data from the National Petroleum Authority (NPA), and surveys by local traders’ unions, the cedi’s stronger performance has translated into reduced prices of imported goods, lower fuel costs, and renewed confidence among businesses.

🏪 1️⃣ Lower Prices for Imported Goods

From Makola to Kumasi Central Market, traders report a drop in prices of key imported items.

A 25kg bag of imported rice has fallen from GH¢850 to GH¢780.

Cooking oil and sugar prices have similarly declined by an average of 7–10%.

“The difference is clear — our customers are buying more now that prices are dropping,” said Abena Serwaa, a trader at Kaneshie Market.

⛽ 2️⃣ Reduced Fuel Prices

Data from the NPA confirms that the cedi’s stability has contributed to lower import costs for petroleum products.

Diesel now sells at GH¢12.80, down from GH¢14.00 earlier this year.

Petrol prices have also fallen slightly, easing the burden on transport operators.

This translates to stable or reduced transport fares, providing daily relief for commuters. 🚌💨

🏭 3️⃣ Business Confidence on the Rise

Import-dependent sectors — construction, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing — report lower input costs and improved profitability.

Construction firms cite 10–15% savings on imported cement and steel.

Some SMEs have resumed hiring and restocking, showing signs of economic rebound.
