Ghana’s cocoa sector, the backbone of our economy and the lifeline of over 800,000 smallholder farmers, is in crisis not because of markets, but because of the National Democratic Congress’s (NDC) repeated failure to deliver on its commitments and protect the welfare of farmers. The facts are clear: cocoa farmers today are still struggling with…
The NDC majority in Ghana’s 9th Parliament has transformed what should be a deliberative democratic institution into a certificate of urgency factory, bypassing the very scrutiny that protects Ghana’s long-term national interests. This reckless exploitation of parliamentary procedure must not be allowed to continue when the Second Session of the 9th Parliament begins on February…
Every 10 seconds, somewhere in the world, alcohol kills. Not by accident. Not by fate. But by policy failure and political delay. In Ghana today, alcohol is not just a beverage; it has become a weapon in homes, on our roads, and against our children. The continued refusal of the NDC government to pass the…
On Friday, 20th June 2025, the National Service Authority (NSA), operating under an NDC-led government, announced the commencement of National Service registration. Thousands of potential service personnel complied in good faith, each paying GH¢41 to register. That payment was not a gift; it was a compulsory fee demanded by the state. Citizens obeyed. Then came…
In every decisive political era, nations rise on the shoulders of leaders whose discipline, conviction, and resilience align with the mood of the people.

By the third month of National Service, one basic expectation should be non-negotiable: payment of allowances. Yet, as of the third month since the commencement of the current service year, not even one evaluation form has been fully processed, let alone allowances paid. This is not an administrative hiccup; it is a systemic failure of…
The ongoing water crisis in Teshie, Nungua, and many parts of Accra, which worsened from late 2025 into early 2026, is not an accident. It is the direct result of poor leadership, weak supervision, and deep neglect by the NDC government. This crisis is devastating, painful, and completely unacceptable in a modern capital city. For…
In Ghana’s evolving democratic landscape, one thing has become painfully clear: the National Democratic Congress (NDC) continues to lean on cheap publicity as a substitute for real leadership and genuine performance. In early January 2026, this pattern was yet again exposed when the NDC government celebrated its US$1.47 billion energy sector debt clearance, as if…
In 2025, the Health Sector of the Effutu Constituency witnessed a remarkable transformation under the purposeful leadership and compassionate intervention of Hon. Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin, Member of Parliament for Effutu.
