Explored SolidJS over the weekend, here are my takes: - It looks more like functional React components - It also has its own hooks, the difference being they start with create* while React hooks start with use* - SolidJS has 2 building blocks: Components and Reactive Primitives

Someone told me the government doesn’t own the Ghana Card, so I did some digging. From what I found, the Ghana Card itself is a state identity document issued by the National Identification Authority, a government statutory body. So saying “government doesn’t own the Ghana Card” is not the cleanest way to put it. The more serious question is what sits behind the card. The national ID system was delivered through a public-private partnership involving NIA and Identity Management Systems, linked to Margins Group. NIA’s own explanation says the state had a project component, the private partner also had a project component, and the arrangement runs over a 15-year period. So the question I’m left with is simple: Beyond legal ownership of the card, how much operational control does the state have over the technology, infrastructure, maintenance, integrations, costs and vendor dependence behind the system? People who know more should leave a comment. I’m genuinely interested in understanding the ownership, control and private-sector role behind the Ghana Card system.

section 46 of the bill says: "a person shall not be appointed as an ICT professional in a public or private institution unless that person is certified by the Authority." section 35 says you cannot run a business in the ICT sector without a licence from NITA. section 37 says only ghanaian citizens, or companies that are 100% owned by ghanaian citizens, can apply for that licence. section 35(4): operating a tech business without a licence can get you a fine or up to 2 years in prison. section 90(1): providing ICT services without a valid licence, or claiming to be a certified professional when you are not, carries the same consequence: a fine or up to 2 years in priso

Eiiii, so when @GhanaNLP invented the world’s first Ghanaian Language AI - 5 years before @NITAGhana knew what an LLM or even AI was 😂 - we would have to seek their permission first? 😂 Do we now have to travel back in time and ask for you permission for advancing Ghana? Eiii

#NITABILL2025 I almost never say anything here but this seems treacherous. Why kill innovation when it hasn’t even yet began. I’ve explored the Tech Ecosystem far and wide and even developed countries aren’t expecting this level of regulation and sophistication to allow its own talent build. Already I’m being hit with so many limitations as a young tech creative in Ghana, access to capital being the hardest and now this. I’ve wanted to bum and support the growth of tech in Ghana but if this is the direction we’re heading to, I might as well join the masses and move elsewhere.

Just one minute of your time 🙂 @kwekutech @TheDumbTechGuy @samgeorgegh @thenanaaba @pazunre

Dear Mr. President @JDMahama and @samgeorgegh , The One Million Coders initiative gave many young people hope for the future of Ghanaian technology and innovation. That is why many of us are deeply worried that the proposed NITA bill may unintentionally contradict that same vision. You cannot encourage young people to learn coding, AI, robotics, and software development while creating broad barriers that could make experimentation, freelancing, startup building, and entry into the tech ecosystem harder. Nobody is saying there should be no regulation. High-risk sectors absolutely need stronger oversight. But Ghana’s innovation ecosystem still needs room for curiosity, experimentation, self-learning, mentorship, and real-world building. Some of the greatest innovations globally started with young people experimenting freely long before formal recognition followed. And even if part of this is about regulatory revenue, we must ask ourselves: Are we willing to trade the future of indigenous Ghanaian innovation for short-term fees and bureaucracy? The real opportunity is not just regulating technology. It is creating an environment where Ghanaian builders can grow technologies the world actually uses. Please let your legacy be one that protected and accelerated indigenous African innovation coming out of Ghana. Many young people in the tech ecosystem are genuinely worried and hope our voices will be heard. Please share until the President sees this. @kwekutech @gyaigyimii @TheDumbTechGuy @kwadwosheldon @MacJordaN @barkervogues @thenanaaba @tech_twi

Either we take over @NITAGhana or we start our own pressure group to antagonize these rent seekers trying to hold progress in tech hostage. We have the money and intellectual acuity to do this. We'd be remiss to not do this.

Ghana as a country cannot boast of being a digital hub of west Africa if immerging talents and technologies from around the continent cannot find this place as a safe haven to operate. No country is an island and as such Ghana cannot do everything on its own.

Are you aware that if the drafted #NITABILL2025 is passed in its current form, Ghana’s One Million Coders initiative could become almost pointless? Because after training people to code, where exactly do we expect them to practice and experiment? [WALK WITH ME👇]
