Ghana First 🇬🇭

@MayraFlores4TX I’m just going to leave this here. And to the legend who made this video, we love you 🫡🇺🇸💯

1. So Metro Mass sold over 300 buses for pittance? They say they were unserviceable. But if even sold for scraps, i think even I could manage to get more than 2500 cedis for each. 2. The thing be say, this is exactly what happens when a country has no proper government auction system. When the State no longer needs buses, cars, furniture, laptops, equipment, anything, there should be one public place where it is listed and sold. Openly. Anyone can see it. Anyone can bid. Open bidding reduces price fixing and sweetheart deals. 3. Instead, things just disappear. Or they are “auctioned” quietly. You hear about it after the fact, when the prices already sound like a joke. And somehow the same insiders always seem to know when and where these auctions are happening. 4. We see this mess clearly at the ports. Containers. Vehicles. Equipment. Items get disposed of with little public information, weak oversight, and plenty of room for self-dealing. Nobody can tell you what was sold, to whom, and at what price, unless you already belong to the right circles. 5. Meanwhile, in the US, there is a simple website called gov.deals. Over a million items are listed there at any time. Old laptops. Office desks. Farm equipment. Vans. Trucks. Buses. You name it. Anyone can log on and bid. Prices are driven by the market. Records are public. 7. Even here in Ghana, the US Embassy auctions its old items online. No secrecy. No drama. Just a system that works. 8. Fun fact. The white van we use for FixTheCountry demonstrations (Our White Maria) was bought from a US Embassy online auction. Not through a friend. Not through a fixer. Straight from the platform. After competitive bidding. Used to belong to the US government. Now it belongs to the streets. 9. Now look around government offices in Ghana. Ministries. Agencies. District assemblies. You will see old government vehicles parked outside, tyres flat, paint peeling. Some have been sitting there for years. They will stay there until they completely rot, and the State will recover nothing. 10. This is not complicated to fix. It does not require genius. It does not require foreign consultants. It just requires the decision to be transparent and organised. 11. A single national auction portal. Mandatory listing of surplus government assets. Public bidding. Proper records. Independent checks. 12. What bothers me most is how little effort we put into doing things properly. No urgency. No shame. Oman bɛn Kraa ne?

Investigative journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni has claimed that the Special Prosecutor did not write to any security agencies to block former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta's departure. #3NewsGH #TV3GH
