Who do you think is the best Education Minister Ghana has ever had? Hon.Haruna Idrisu. Hon. Osei Y. Adutwum



Construction of Farm service centres. Extension services are good and cannot be faulted. The issue for this will be the scope and amount of coverage possible. Rehabilitation of Irrigation sites across the country. Is good, but the government needs to find a means to support farmers to self irrigate. The majority of farm lands in Ghana are rain fed, and so it would be both impractical and financially irresponsible for government to self irrigate all the farming land within Ghana. Construction of Agric Roads to improve accessibility to markets. This is a good policy but it is in some ways a neglect of the Ghana commodities exchange (GCX), which was suppose to create linkages to a ready market. Thus, it shows policy discontinuities. Capital injection for Buffer Stock to mop up excess Maize and rice from farmers. Again, shows policy discontinuities when government should be encouraging farmers to self store, and improve post harvest losses - via policies such as 1 district 1 warehouse, or using smart storage bags. Moving past these superficial policies, the question is what transformative policies have been implemented; by this, I mean testing the policy using a treatment group and a control group, to find out what actually works in practice - to develop a model - and then scaling across the various regions. Government has to be more than seen to be doing something, they must get policy formulation and implementation right.

Tomorrow in Abenase we hand over school number 9 since 2017.
















Performative politics is not transformative — this is the type of performative politics that has been happening in the fourth republic without structural change. If he wants to change Ghana, he would stop doing these micro-interventions and look at ways to leverage his role as deputy agricultural minister to produce a macro-intervention which could feed into agro-industrialisation.
