Hajia Alima Mahama   In part I and part II of this article, I discussed the nexus between religion (Islam) and politics in Ghana. I argued that often, the show of righteous self-indignation by some Muslims when it comes to Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and his family, especially his wife Samira, has nothing to do with genuine concern for moral turpitude in politics. It has everything to do with the desire to keep the NPP perpetually in the minority in Muslim communities. I quoted the NDC’s 2024 Strategy Document to buttress my point. In this write-up, I isolate three issues that…

Abdul Hakim Ahmed, PhD. My last article in the media, titled “The Economy, Corruption and Galamsey: The potentials and pitfalls of Mahama’s return to Ghana’s presidency”, was published on January 2, 2025 (five days before Mahama was sworn in as the new president) in the various online portals, including MyJoyOnline and Starrfmonline.

Engineers – Planners If Damang fails, it will reinforce a long-held belief that Ghanaian firms cannot manage large-scale mining. If it succeeds-hopefully, it could fundamentally redefine who benefits from Ghana’s gold. The assumption of the Damang concession on April 18, 2026, by Engineers & Planners (E&P) is more than a transfer of ownership—it is Ghana’s most consequential test of indigenous mining capacity in a generation. Yet the real prize is not the gold beneath the ground. It is the opportunity to forge a new compact between mining companies and the host communities that bear the greatest cost of extraction. For…
