Message from Jamaica to Ghana:
When Hurricane Melissa
devastated Jamaica in October 2025 , killing over 40 people and causing nearly
US$9 billion in damage , Ghana didn't just offer sympathy. They sent 54 soldiers.
For 90 days, the Ghana Armed Forces worked alongside the Jamaica Defence Force rebuilding homes, restoring communities, and giving hope back to families in St. Elizabeth who had lost everything.

1. This may surprise you. But the person who changed my mind on Free ShS was @JusticeSremSai
2. I have always supported the policy. But I had great misgivings about its long term viability. Like the rest of the neoliberals I was arguing that the lack of means testing of recipients meant that the policy was an albatross that needed to be dispensed with, if not expectations would set in, and we can never take it away again. That’s a great risk. I gave National service as an example.
3. Justice did not argue that Free ShS was not too expensive. He admitted it. But He asked me a genuine question. When you look at the amount of money this country loses through corruption. Money that goes to the elites, what at all do working class and poor people get from the State?
4. Yes the policy isn’t perfect in its targeting. But when has government ever been efficient? For many poor people, this may the only value the get from a Republic that hardly ever prioritises them, he said.
5. So yes, let them run it as it is. And when they come to realize it’s impractical, they will review and fine tune it, as we go along, he continued.
6. He may not remember that conversation today, but I never forgot it. I realized then I was gate keeping; at the expense of the poor.
7. Free ShS, free TVeT education has come to stay and it must stay. I believe in that. If Justice’s view is anything to go by, then he was ahead of the curve.
8. Review Free ShS, because if we claim, we can develop and deploy traceability tests for gold, surely we can figure out how we means test Free ShS too.
9. We on the left sometimes get suck into arguing against pro-poor policies on cost basis. In doing so we argue unwittingly against the poor.
10. When we steal from the state, do we ever pause and wonder if our theft isn’t too expensive for a poor country? We steal without conscience. Then we want the poor to shrink their expectations of the State and carry its austerity lashes. No!
11. The last government stole more than the total cost of Free ShS.
12. Recover that money! Protect Free SHS.
Shalom

Two Ashesi student teams, Sigma Capital Partners and Alpha Capital Partners, have placed first and second, respectively, at the 2026 @CFAinstitute Research Challenge (Ghana). The competition required participating teams to conduct a comprehensive valuation of the MTN Group. Following their win, Team Sigma Capital will represent Ghana at the Sub-Saharan Africa Regional Competition scheduled for May this year. Read more: ashe.si/3NvWcIw #atAshesi

For those who have been unjustly attacking the Bank of Ghana for their decision to sell portions of the country’s gold holdings, as a deliberate reserve portfolio diversification measure, how do you feel about the free fall of gold prices we are currently witnessing, where the price of bullion in the last few weeks has dropped from a record-high of about $5,500/oz to about $4680/oz?
You see, gold is a proven safe haven asset. However, it is subject to significant price volatilities that pose considerable risk to reserve preservation.
This is why a middle-income country like Ghana with Gross International Reserves of barely 5.7 months, ought not to over-concentrate its reserves in gold holdings but rather, diversify same across different asset classes.
In reserve portfolio management, safety and liquidity considerations are paramount. Converting portions of our gold holdings into cash assets (USD) and investing same to generate returns for the country, was therefore a sensible decision by the BoG.
Simply put, the BoG converted 22 tons of the country’s gold holdings into U.S dollars, added it to our reserves and invested it to generate returns for the country. Our reserves remained intact. No national asset was lost. And this decision has significantly minimized the impact of gold price volatilities on Ghana’s reserve position.
Kudos Dr. Asiamah and your wonderful team at the BoG. Keep up the good work for mother Ghana.

A second cycle school, Dabokpa Technical Inst. in the Northern Region is doing something amazing. Building tractors, tricycles, incubators, etc. I believe they require some serious collaboration with industry. Let's encourage them. Repost this till they get the needed attention.
