‘Execution’ In Line of Duty: A Satire

Thought process
A Ghanaian nurse went out on a motorbike to collect drugs for her facility and did not come back. She was a mother of two, married two weeks before the accident, the only health professional serving her community in Sissala West. On the same day she died, President Mahama was in Geneva asking the world to invest in resilient supply chains and local factories. She was the supply chain. She was the factory. She strapped the medical supplies to her back and became a one-woman logistics operation, and the road finished what the system started. This is a satire about the gap between what Ghana announces at the 79th World Health Assembly and what Ghana asks of its nurses on a Tuesday afternoon in the rain.

Ghana 24-hour economy sod cutting ceremony official hard hat ceremonial shovel empty land

BREAKING: Ghana’s 24-Hour Economy Launched. But For The Shovels Only.

Ghana’s 24-hour economy sod cutting has officially begun. The shovels are working round the clock. The holes are coming along nicely. Bimbilla got its ceremony in April. Asesewa on May 5. Bawku West and Kassena-Nankana on May 8. Yendi on Tuesday. There are 261 districts in Ghana. All 261 are scheduled for a market. All 261 will first receive a photograph of a man in a hard hat pretending to dig. 1.9 million young Ghanaians are not working, not studying, not in training. The markets that will employ them will be ready in November 2028. The sod, at least, has never been late.

Ghana Value for Money Office 2026 — Mahama signs bill as Legal Division watches from the other pond

Value for Money Or Money for Value: A Satire.

Ghana has a new office to stop inflated public contracts. The Legal Division of the Ministry of Finance was already assigned this job. They lacked the specialised expertise. The solution, naturally, was not to train them. The solution was a new office, fully furnished with the usual government-issue sofas that nobody is allowed to sit on. It opens in January 2027. Eight months from now. In the meantime, the birds at the Legal Division remain at their desks. Hope remains the only currency we have left. And it is the hope that we have.

ghana diaspora citizenship suspended — a man with documents outside the Du Bois Centre in Accra

Ghana’s Biggest Investors Drive a Luxury Car Called ‘Limbo’

Ghana designed the welcome. Then Ghana had to redesign the welcome in ten days. On February 1, the Ministry of the Interior suspended the diaspora citizenship programme with a “strategic recalibration”—the administrative equivalent of a Ghanaian saying he’s coming, but he’s now going to shower. The DNA and $2,280 fee were dropped ten days later. They were there for ten days, then they were not. But for the Ghanaian man from Atlanta, his business registration still sits at the Registrar General’s Department, his land title at the Lands Commission, and a site plan was added “for clarity.” He calls Ghana home. The systems are just slothful.

church of pentecost elder galamsey foreman arrested kume river ashanti ghana satire

Church Elder Arrested as Galamsey Foreman: The Lord’s Work Took a Detour Through the Rivers.

When the Chairman of The Church of Pentecost declared that rivers are too polluted for baptism, Elder David Bobie Peter apparently didn’t get the memo. The Konongo church leader was arrested as the foreman of an illegal mining site at Akyem Morso—caught red-handed in a yellow T-shirt and white shorts after being dispatched by his boss, Mr. Appiah, to “confirm if the task force had arrived.” His cover story? Visiting his farm. The reality? Eight Chanfang machines, twelve water pumps, and the Kume River diverted from its natural course. As the church distances itself from galamsey, one elder chose the excavator over the altar—and walked straight into NAIMOS custody. The rivers weep brown. Julius Debrah wept clean tears for a government appointee. But nobody is laughing.

Ghana dumsor ai strategy

Ghana’s AI Computing Hub To Run On Generators?

The Akosombo fire was on Wednesday. The AI hub was announced on Thursday. There was a generator at the launch venue. It has seen these announcements before. It will be here for the next one. The AI hub is an electricity power cannibal which needs consistent power supply to keep running. Now tell me. Is Ghana ready to sustain such a project with the bit size electricity supply?
