The Ghana Police Service’s recent crackdown on unauthorized sirens and strobe lights, which saw 188 vehicles intercepted in Kumasi alone, has exposed a problem that begins long before any vehicle reaches the Airport Roundabout or the Santasi Roundabout. It begins at the port. If motorists in Accra and Kumasi are fitting private vehicles with sirens, strobe lights and improvised headlamps designed to mimic official security and emergency vehicles, then the question of how such vehicles, or the equipment that turns them into look-alike security cars, entered the country in the first place deserves closer scrutiny. Enforcement on the road is…

Every institutional failure begins long before insolvency, regulatory sanction or a public scandal. It begins when leaders alter the relationship between truth and power.Diplomacy and duplicity are often confused because both involve managing information. They are however fundamentally different forms of leadership. Diplomacy governs the timing, framing, and sequencing of truthful information while preserving the ability of others to make informed decisions. Duplicity governs access to truth itself, exploiting information asymmetries to obtain consent that would not survive full disclosure.This distinction is more than a matter of semantics. It explains why institutions with sophisticated governance structures still experience catastrophic failures.…
