Government claims that it spent almost GHc11 billion in 2025 on the Accra-Kumasi Expressway. This is ridiculous and preposterous because this project is even yet to be awarded to a contractor for the actual engineering and civil works to commence so how was these monies spent and on what exactly. I think the Government and the Finance Minister should explain to the good people of the country how these monies were expended since it’s the Finance Minister who controls the spending for all these Government’s flagship programs. These very expenditure line item raises a lot of legitimate questions which needs to be answered. How do you say you have spend almost 11 billion on a project which the Military is even yet to complete the clearing of the entire Right of Way.

Which contractor or Agency were these monies paid to and when exactly were these monies paid to them.

Dr. George Domfe Writes:

YOU ARE SHAMELESSLY TALKING ABOUT GLOBAL IMPACTS ON THE GHANAIAN ECONOMY? AAAABAH!

In 2022, crude oil prices surged to $121 per barrel. In that same year, Germany recorded its highest inflation in 70 years, while both the UK and the US experienced inflation levels not seen in four decades. Prices went up everywhere in the world!

Unfortunately, when Ghana recorded its highest inflation in 26 years (54% in December 2022 was the highest after January 1996's inflation of 69.2%), and the causes were linked to global shocks, THEY dismissed the explanation and pushed the narrative that the economic crises was purely due to the incompetence of Nana Akufo-Addo.

Meanwhile, both the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank had described the 2022 global economic turmoil as the worst since the Great Depression of the 1930s, but that didn’t matter; THEIR conclusion remained the same: Akufo-Addo was “super incompetent.” Their academics, MPs, communicators, and 'fool soldiers' defended this position relentlessly.

Then, when global gold prices rose and inflows increased, among other things, the Bank of Ghana intervened heavily in the secondary forex market. Yet again, instead of acknowledging global market forces, THEY arrogantly credited it to fiscal consolidation.

Again, when global crude oil prices later dropped to around $60—naturally leading to lower pump prices—they suddenly attributed this to sound economic management.

Now, quite astonishingly, the same people are blaming the fall in cocoa farmgate prices on global market conditions, and their academic machinery is vigorously defending this position. While this position is true and reasonable, a little bit of respect for consistency should guide THEM never to mention global market!

Since when did THEY get to know that global market dynamics can affect our economy? What do THEY take Ghanaians for, people with short memory? I guess

Adwoa animah write;

When Hon. Vincent Ekow Assafuah raised concerns about the price and quality of sanitary pads being supplied to students, he was told to keep quiet and that he was peddling propaganda.

Now, the Education Minister has admitted the pads are inferior. And he is "auditing" them. Auditing what exactly?

Under Ghana’s Public Procurement Act, if a supplier delivers goods that fall short of what was contractually agreed, in terms texture, absorbency, size, it’s not administrative oversight. That is a fundamental breach of contract. Unless specifications were not agreed and samples requested which raises more serious concerns.

The remedy is not an audit. The remedy is a writ. An audit looks at books. A lawsuit looks at liability.

If you bought inferior pads for GH¢292 million more than the market price of the quality ones, you do not need KPMG to tell you something is wrong. You need the Attorney General to issue a writ of summons.

Can Hon Haruna Iddrisu tells us exactly who is being audited? The pad? The supplier? The procurement officer who signed off on inferior goods? Or the persons the contract was outsourced to?

Because here is what the law actually says:

Under Section 92 of Act 663, the Public Procurement Authority can blacklist the supplier. The same section requires the Attorney-General to prosecute any procurement officer whose action causes financial loss to the state. Not "audit" but Prosecute.

If a procurement officer accepted substandard goods and authorised payment at inflated prices, that officer is personally liable to surcharge and prosecution.

So unless I’m missing something, an audit makes no sense to me. Respectfully!
