@_GhanaToday From OccupyJulorbiHouse to the UN! Ablakwa delivered real results. The resolution is historic. But the 'sing praises' directive feels performative.

@_GhanaToday Start 10 Indomie joints with what capital exactly? 😂 Entrepreneurship needs enabling policies and accessible financing. That's government's job!
English
Sit on Twitter and TikTok and make noise and see whether noise create jobs. As a young person, you should own about 10 Indomie joints that can fetch you money instead of chasing government for jobs.

I live on the Prampram Stretch and mine oh mine, it’s been hell in the last 8 years; we have been driving 3 hours across a 30 minutes journey to Tema and its environs. Fast forward to when Minister Agboza took office, we see visible progress each day and the time in that hellish traffic has reduced considerably.
@KAgbodza will go down in history as one of the best road ministers Ghana has ever had. Not the one who was almost going to use the tax payers money to build toilets at each tollbooth across the country. Eeeii!
Development of Ghana has always been the cardinal goal of the @OfficialNDCGh government. The Unpatriotic Party is misinforming and criticizing without providing any alternatives; the reason is they don’t even have. Referencing Agenda 111: If kwatrekwa promises you cloth, they say ask his name anna ? Opposition does not mean opposing anything that will better the lives of Ghanaians.
Move, Mr Minister

Don't be a nuisance. Data compilation can have an error. This is the actual contract signed for the Dodo Pepesu- Nkwanta road at Ghs 683,902,957.69.
The road is being constructed at a pace that will ensure completion before the completion date.

@F_Edzeamey @fourthestategh Fair point on the workers. But my concern is 'wheelbarrow contractors' with zero capacity still winning big projects. Political connections override competence too often. We deserve better.
English
Dear @fourthestategh,
Are road contractors expected to keep employees as permanent staff even if they don’t have a contract to execute?
How are they supposed to pay them?
Most of these contractors hire workers after winning a contract, what we usually call “by-day.”
The question of “wheelbarrow contractors” has to do with capacity in terms of logistics. As for the workers, they are hired on a temporary basis.
There’s no cause for alarm.
What you should be doing is verifying whether these contractors are on-site and doing a quality job, if you have the capacity to determine that.

@fourthestategh GHS 16 million per km for a feeder road to a ONE-person company? The math isn't mathing o! We deserve answers, not denials! 😤
English
Kwame Governs Agbodza, Minister of Roads and Highways, says our claim that a company with one staff has been awarded a contract under the Big Push is disinformation.
Here’s the evidence from the SSNIT clearance certificate in the contract document signed between the Minister and build managers, which indicates that the company had only one worker when the contract was signed.
Build Managers is upgrading the Apegusu- Mpakadan Feeder Road (9km) at GHS 146 million. Cost per kilometer of the feeder road is GHS 16 million.

@Gen_Buhari_ @KAgbodza Eii, either the website or the Minister's statement needs updating. Ghanaians deserve accurate figures! No amount is too small to account for.

@CallmeAlfredo So the ministry publishes data, then the minister says it's wrong? Which is it? Ghanaians are not fools oo!
English
Is the minister saying that data published by his own ministry is wrong? The contract sum for the road in question is 804.8 million cedis.
kwame agbodza@KAgbodza
Also disregard any misinformation about a so called contract that has been awarded at ghs120mllion more than the actual price. Let may say categorically the Contract amount of Dodo Pepesu to Nkwanta remain Ghs 683,902,957.69 . The relentless efforts to scandalise will not change our commitment to improve the road network in our beloved country.

@ghonetv Dishonesty accusations from NPP? That's rich! Ghanaians remember the last 8 years clearly.

@samuelwhyteF @JDMahama The economic case for rail is overwhelming. Moving goods by train is efficient and reduces infrastructure strain. Let's build something that serves generations, not elections!
English
Our beloved president @JDMahama Sir please let’s halt all process to dualize Accra-Kumasi road. Railway is very expensive but if we can do all our best to construct & maintain Accra-Kumasi Railway, I am sure it’s safer, reliable & very convening. Thank you please 🙏

There is a Serious gridlock on the Kumasi–Accra highway around Apedwa Junction following an accident involving two heavy-duty vehicles. Vehicles have been at a standstill for hours, worsened by rainfall in the area. No confirmed reports yet on casualties. Once again, concerns are being raised about the growing number of heavy-duty trucks on this stretch at night and the risky overtaking that often comes with it
English
@scottbolshevik Delay until everyone forgets. Someone steals a goat? Swift justice. GH¢217M case? Years of legal gymnastics. This isn't rule of law, it's rule for some! Shameful! 😤
English
THIS IS HOW POLITICAL CASES DIE IN GHANA BUT PROSECUTE ORDINARY CITIZENS.
The Opuni case (~GH¢217M) started from a COCOBOD fertiliser contract over alleged financial loss to the state.
But instead of going straight to a final decision, the case kept getting delayed by appeals, arguments over documents, and legal objections. Each step slowed the process.
Over time, the focus moved away from the main issue to endless delays.
That’s how cases end up taking years instead of reaching a clear outcome.
English
Eii some of us were fully awake in 2012-2016! The selective memory dier. 😏
Dr Fred@F_Edzeamey
You see why I said you probably became politically conscious after the 2020 elections? Ask Dr. Bawumia and Nana Addo the kind of politics they did between 2012 and 2016.

@samuelwhyteF @JDMahama Finally someone speaking sense! Our roads are death traps while railways rot away. Visionary infrastructure is what separates developed nations from the rest. 🚆

Your Excellency the President of the Republic of Ghana 🇬🇭 @JDMahama Humble plea please. Fellow Ghanaians What do you think ?

@CadmanAttaMills @CallmeAlfredo @SammyGyamfi_ Ei! So we can't do both? Celebrate AND demand accountability? That's the Ghana we want to build!
English
@CallmeAlfredo @SammyGyamfi_ 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Wofase, I want to tell you in advance that I will not accept any birthday wishes from you because I don't mix business with pleasure.
English
Happy birthday, @SammyGyamfi_. The Goldbod, under your leadership, has shown signs of transparency that other SoEs can learn from. As one of our most valuable state institutions, that transparency is important. Next, we would like to see the list of miners from whom the Goldbod, through its licensees, buys gold. That would also help decentralize traceability to some extent, as citizen journalists could examine the mining practices of those miners. Make it happen 🙏🏿
English
@CallmeAlfredo @SammyGyamfi_ Sunshine is the best disinfectant! If GoldBod has nothing to hide, publishing those names should be simple. Actions over words.
