The Ghana Audit Service has clarified that there was an error in the amount previously reported to have been received by Mr. Kpodo.
The Service has further conceded that the report on which The Fourth Estate based its publication contained inaccuracies.
Look at the damage they've done to this man? How does he recover? The damage is done. How far this story has gone, with his pictures, oh god!

Basically Frank Oliver Kpodo worked at the Ministry of Defence as Director of Procurement. For 29 months, that’s almost 2 and a half years, he was receiving over GHS14 million every single month in salary. He did little to no work. That’s GHS427 million total. To one person.
To put that in context, the entire Ministry of Transport’s budget for the year is GHS151 million. This man collected nearly 3x that. Alone. In salary.
And he’s not the only one. The Auditor-General found over 6,000 government workers collected GHS800 million in unearned salaries.
But Kpodo alone took more than half of the entire amount. Experts say this doesn’t happen alone. Someone validates the payroll. Someone approves it. Someone looks the other way every month for 29 months.
Now here’s the part that should make your blood boil: He’s still at work. Currently serving as Director of Finance and Administration at the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources.
Meanwhile we have hospitals with no beds. No medicine. No doctors. This is where the money goes.
We are not angry enough o

A Stanford CS professor told his class something at the start of the semester that made half the students close their laptops.
He said the skill that will separate the people who thrive in the next decade from the people who stall has almost nothing to do with coding.
His name is Andrew Ng, and he has trained more machine learning engineers than almost anyone alive.
Here is what he said, and why it changes how you should be learning right now.
He said the bottleneck is no longer writing code. It is knowing which problems are worth solving in the first place. For thirty years, being a good engineer meant being able to build what someone else defined. In the world that is arriving, every engineer has infinite leverage to build almost anything, which means the person who picks the right thing to build now wins by orders of magnitude over the person who builds the wrong thing flawlessly.
His framework for problem selection is deceptively simple. He calls it the three-question filter.
The first question is whether the problem you are working on actually matters to someone who would pay for it or use it daily. Most students fail here. They work on projects that are interesting to them and nobody else, and then wonder why the portfolio produces no offers.
The second question is whether the problem is still hard now that AI exists. If a single prompt to a hosted model solves it, the problem is no longer valuable to solve yourself. The interesting problems live in the gap between what AI can do alone and what it can do when combined with domain knowledge, careful system design, and data nobody else has access to.
The third question is the one most people skip. Can you actually ship a working version in a week. Not a polished version. A crappy, embarrassing, actually-functional version. Ng said the number one predictor of which of his students ended up building something important was not talent. It was the willingness to ship something bad fast and then improve it in public.
He said the students who kept tweaking in private for six months before showing anyone almost always produced worse final work than the students who shipped a broken version on week one and iterated based on real feedback.
The people who are actually winning right now are not the ones with the best ideas.
They are the ones who learned to pick problems that matter and ship solutions that barely work, before anyone else has even finished thinking about it.

Ghanaians are not even aware at the end of every month they give them groceries that can fill a small container shop.

🤣the MPs have actually managed to get this 20k lie to stick. They earn 60k basic plus allowances, it’s over 70k (tax not factored)

Life was so crazy, one time we brought kenkey from the dining hall to our house. With no clear plan in mind. We had protein with no shito and had little sugar . We searched the whole house for shito. We didn’t get. My boy started mashing his kenkey.

Wait so, those who attended public SHS schools in Ghana (Botwe, Augusco, Presec, Geyhey etc), when you become rich parents, will you let your children attend the same schools you did?
