The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana National Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Mark Badu Aboagye, has identified the lack of continuity in industrial policy as a major setback to Ghana’s industrialisation drive and its ability to fully benefit from intra-African trade under the AfCFTA.According to him, frequent changes in national development programmes across successive governments have weakened long-term industrial growth, leaving the country dependent on raw material exports instead of value-added production.Speaking at the Citi Business Festival 2026 on the theme “Unlocking Africa’s Single Market: How Ghanaian Businesses Can Win under AfCFTA,” he noted that intra-African trade remains low,…

Politicians must be circumspect in their activities, utterances, and conduct, especially in the media space. There is a saying that “if you think peace is expensive, try war.” This simple statement should remind us that peace is not something to be taken for granted.What is happening on social media these days, particularly among some members and supporters of the major political parties, is very worrying. It is not only unpleasant to watch; it is also dangerous for the country’s democratic culture.Many Ghanaians, including politicians, are quick to quote “freedom of speech” without giving equal attention to the responsibility that comes…

The writer   For decades, Ghana has treated flooding as an emergency. Every rainy season, government agencies and some corporate bodies, including a few religious organisations and individuals mobilise relief items, reconstruct damaged roads and bridges, desilt drains, and compensate affected victims and communities. This cycle repeats itself year after year, consuming public, private and individual resources that could otherwise be invested in national development. Perhaps it is time for Ghana to consider a bold policy innovation which I will call RAINFALL TAX.   Concept of the rainfall tax The proposal is not a tax on the rain that falls…

Otumfuo Osei Tutu II   The Health Minister, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, must adopt a better management template for the sector he manages on behalf of the people of Ghana. So far, he does not deserve plaudits for a stewardship which falls below acceptable standards and is dotted with brusqueness and show or even abuse of power. For a stewardship which is occasioned by doctors’ strikes, we would be wrong not to find faults with his management as political head of this important sector. In Tamale, what unfolded at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) took place when doctors downed their…

When Ghana attained independence in 1957, Kwame Nkrumah stood before the world and uttered words that shook the foundations of empire. He declared that the Black man was capable of managing his own affairs.For Nkrumah, the declaration was neither a slogan nor a boast. It was a declaration of war against centuries of colonial contempt made by a Man who came with both purpose and a mission.Unlike the shameless windbag politicians who infest Africa today, Nkrumah was a theoretician who believed ideas must walk on two legs.He did not merely write scholarly, brilliant books about development; he attempted to build…

‘We are here to make history’ – Jordan declares Ghana ready for Group L challenge 3News

The Shadow of Teshie and the Modern RealityGhana stands at a critical psychological and economic crossroads. For decades, a dangerous culture of elite invincibility has plagued our Fourth Republic, where political actors treat public treasuries as personal fiefdoms and view accountability as a negotiable inconvenience. The ghost of our history still whispers a stark warning: in 1979, military leaders like Rear Admiral Joy Amedume were sent to the stakes at the Teshie Shooting Range over a 50,000-cedi loan, establishing a brutal but permanent standard for how severely this nation once viewed the betrayal of public trust.Yet today, billions of taxpayers’…

Let me start with a number that should make every Ghanaian feel cautiously optimistic. Six point four percent. That is how fast our economy grew in the first quarter of 2026.

It is evidence of continued resilience and broad-based expansion across key sectors. The services sector is booming. Industry is recovering. Agriculture is growing, even with some painful contractions. And the government, according to the Ghana Statistical Service, is spending money. But not just…
