Congratulations to President John Mahama and the NDC party for their lost in wonder performance at the recent presidential and parliamentary elections. You have a third time president (Mahama 3.0), the first female vice president, and super majority in parliament. Grand.

Love Brewed in the Ghanaian Forest – Mahama Got it All (2)
LOCAL GOVERNMENT – LET MY VOTE COUNT Strengthen local democracy and accountability through the election of district chief executives (DCEs). This shouldn’t incur any big additional cost, as organisation of such elections could be added to that of the assembly members election (and held on same day, as done for the presidential and parliamentary elections). […]
Love Brewed in the Ghanaian Forest – Mahama Got it All (3)
QUALITY EDUCATION AND EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES – EVERYBODY WANT TO BE SOMEBODY First, kudos to the Akufo Addo government for implementing the ‘free’ senior high school (SHS) programme. Some say it was reckless. Others say it was courageous. Whichever side you stand his will to power through – Nietzsche – with the system is admirable. Though […]
Love Brewed in the Ghanaian Forest – Mahama Got it All (4)
SEARCHING FOR SPOCK – SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND INNOVATION STRATEGY I still strongly believe that Ghana needs a robust science, technology and innovation strategy and a framework for achieving it. See my previous writings. All the successful countries have something akin to this and they put a huge drive to realise this ambition. E.g. the US […]

Little Voice from the Forest – Behold Ghana (5) – akabenzer, breaking the eight and promises
Akabenezer, Glorious Path of the Eight and Gargantuan Promises Either way the eight will be broken: NDC will break NPP’s continuous eight years rule should John Mahama win the presidential election (same for Afranfranto’s Alan Kyeremanten); NPP will truncate the the post eight year continuous rule jinx should Mahamudu Bawumia win. The ‘breaking the eight’ […]
Little Voice from the Forest – Behold Ghana (4)- love, peace, and harmony: democracy, military, youth
Democracy in Search of Meaning – Coups and Their Celebrants Since 2020, there have been six coups in West African countries: Mali, Niger, Guinea, Burkina Faso. Gabon – Central Africa – also had one recently. Some countries have had multiple coups. Recent survey by Afrobarometer showed that 53 percent of people across 36 African countries […]
Little Voice from the Forest – Behold Ghana (2) – dancing in the light: contemptuous behaviour of public officials
Dancing in The Light – Contemptuous Behaviour of Public Officials “Power, and power without responsibility – the prerogative of the harlot throughout the ages” (Stanley Baldwin, former British Prime Minister). It seems a group of people have taken over the affairs of Ghana, in all spheres – leaving nothing to chance, and have blurred the […]
Little Voice from the Forest – Behold Ghana (1) -only love can set us free
The Little Small Voice from the Forest – Behold Ghana There’s something inside me that pulls beneath the surface Consuming, confusing.……………. Discomfort, endlessly has pulled itself upon me Distracting, reacting Against my will I stand beside my own reflection It’s haunting How I can’t seem.
