In October 2022, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo cut the sod for a 4-tier Suame Interchange, a transformative infrastructure project designed to eliminate gridlock and modernise Kumasi traffic flow. This was not a minor upgrade but a comprehensive six-in-one interchange with five overpasses, a milestone for the Ashanti Region’s transport network and businesses.  Today, however,…

For years, the Bawku conflict in the Upper East Region has been a festering crisis, not a temporary disturbance, but a long-term collapse of law, order, and state authority. Despite repeated interventions by successive governments, the situation continues to deteriorate under the stewardship of the National Democratic Congress (NDC). The current reality is stark and…

Loyalty is not just a claim. It is a character trait revealed under pressure. In Ghana’s political history, past and present, Osahen Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin has distinguished himself as a man whose loyalty is not situational, transactional, or convenient, but deeply rooted in principle, gratitude, and conviction. This defining trait has shaped his politics, his…

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) majority in Parliament has shown yet again that its priorities are all wrong. Instead of drafting and passing bills that will create jobs, stabilise the economy, and improve living conditions for Ghanaians, the NDC is fixated on changing the name of Ghana’s flagship international gateway from Kotoka International Airport to…

On 3rd February 2026, Ghana witnessed a clear demonstration of responsible leadership, patriotism, and respect for national institutions when the Minority Leader in Parliament, Hon. Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin, fulfilled his promise to the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC) with a major donation of computers to strengthen its operations. True leadership is measured not by words alone,…

Ghanaians are tired of noise. They want jobs, not press conferences. They want pay slips, not photo ops. After almost 10 months of endless announcements, partnerships, and media hype from the NDC and Malik Basintale, the most basic question remains unanswered: where are the jobs? Every other day, the NDC machinery rolls out another announcement….

Ghanaians are being fed another round of NDC spin, that the economy is “stabilized” and the cedi is “strong.” Let’s be clear: what they call stability is just fancy talk with no improvement in everyday life. The NDC keeps telling the public that the cedi is rising and the economy is steadier. But ask the…

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has behaved with the worst kind of political double standards and hypocrisy in Ghana’s current anti-LGBTQ law saga, and the Ghanaian people must call it out. When the NDC was in opposition, its MPs, led vigorously by Hon. Samuel Nartey George (now Communications Minister), championed the Human Sexual Rights and…

The recent Ghana–Israel deportation row stands as a glaring example of foreign policy failure, lack of strategic engagement, and reckless decision-making by the current NDC government. In December 2025, after seven Ghanaian citizens, including four members of a parliamentary delegation, were detained and ultimately deported by Israeli authorities at Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel…

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) government’s handling of the scrap metal sector has exposed weaknesses in economic planning, unfair market interference, and the troubling optics of concentration of economic power that undermines fair competition. In 2025 and early 2026, the government moved to restrict the export of non-ferrous scrap metals: aluminum, copper, brass, lead, and…
