On January 14, 2025, shocking images and reports emerged of a $600,000 (GH¢7.2 million) luxury vehicle, a customized Toyota Land Cruiser LC300 Xtreme Edition, reportedly linked to President John Dramani Mahama, at a public event, igniting blazing public outrage across Ghana. Ordinary citizens, struggling under high costs of living, unemployment, and economic hardship, were aghast…
Since its December 18, 2024, launch by President-Elect John Dramani Mahama with Hon. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa as Chairman, the National Democratic Congress’ Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) has been promoted as a flagship anti-corruption drive meant to recover misappropriated state assets and bring accountability to governance. But over one year into its existence, ORAL remains…
The ‘Nkoko Nkitinkiti’(small-chicks) policy touted by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) as a cornerstone of their agricultural strategy remains an idea without impact, a slogan without execution, and an embarrassment to policy coherence in Ghana today. Plainly put: the ordinary Ghanaian does not understand this policy because reality shows it has not been actualized in…
The Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), established under the Ghana Gold Board Act, 2025 (Act 1140) to restore accountability and transform Ghana’s gold sector, is now at the centre of a scandal that threatens the very transparency and good governance the statute was designed to uphold.

The National Democratic Congress lost US$214 million in just nine months under the Bank of Ghana’s gold operations. This figure did not come from rumor or politics. It came from official data reported in IMF programme reviews and reflected on the Bank of Ghana’s own balance sheet. Nine months. Two hundred and fourteen million dollars….

Ghanaians must confront the truth plainly and without sugarcoating. On the matter of presidential travel and private jets, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has proven one thing beyond doubt: their words collapse the moment they get power. Between 2021 and 2022, while the NPP was in government, the facts were clear. Ghana’s official presidential aircraft,…
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has now spent one full year in office out of its four-year mandate. This is not a short time. This is 25% of their tenure already used. Yet, the policy they sold most loudly to Ghanaians, the so-called “24-Hour Economy,” remains words without action. During the 2024 campaign, the NDC…
Ghanaians welcomed January 1, 2026, not with relief, not with hope, but with higher bills as a New Year gift from the NDC. Electricity tariffs jumped by 9.86%. Water tariffs shot up by a shocking 15.92%. This was not an accident. It was a decision approved by the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC) under the…
Since the inception of the Fourth Republic, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) who claim and pride themselves of being Social Democrats have never initiated and successfully implemented any sustainable social intervention or policy in Ghana which has impacted and benefited majority Ghanaians.
