Apart From TraffiTech, NDC Has Done Nothing Better For Ghanaians – Janet Nabla

Janet Nabla did not come to praise the government and go home quietly.

The Chairperson of the People’s National Party, PNP, says yes, TraffiTech is a good initiative. She says she applauds the NDC for it.

Apart from that, she said, they have not done anything better for Ghanaians.

That one sentence has started plenty of talk.

Because for once, even a strong critic of the government is saying: this one, you got it right.

TraffiTech, which started full enforcement on November 1, 2026, uses cameras and technology to catch drivers who speed and break other traffic rules. Instead of police stopping you by the roadside, the system records the offence and the vehicle owner gets an electronic notice with the evidence.

The idea is simple. Slow down. Save lives. Bring discipline to our roads.

President Mahama himself has asked Ghanaians to be patient with the system. He says it will replace manual speed enforcement with technology, and it will be judged by how accidents drop month after month.

But her question is bigger: what about everything else?

What about food prices? What about jobs for the youth? What about transport fares that are still high even when fuel prices improve? What about the ordinary Ghanaian who wakes up every morning and still struggles to survive?

According to Nabla, one good programme cannot cover up a government that is failing in many other areas.

And that is the pain many Ghanaians feel. When one thing works, government people rush to celebrate it as if everything is fine. But the market woman still cries. The driver still complains. The graduate still has no job. The family still cannot pay school fees with ease.

Nabla is saying what many people whisper in trotro, in the market, and at home: We will clap when you do well. But clapping for one thing does not mean we are blind to the rest.

TraffiTech may catch speeding drivers. But who will catch the rising cost of living? Who will catch unemployment? Who will catch the hardship that follows ordinary people everywhere they go?

The NDC may have scored one goal with TraffiTech. Nabla is asking: where are the other goals?

For Ghanaians, the message is clear. One good initiative is good. But good governance is not one project. It is food on the table, money in the pocket, jobs for the youth, and hope for tomorrow.

Until that happens, one clap will not be enough.
