How Ghanaians reacted to President Mahama’s decision to halt rotational independence celebrations
President John Dramani Mahama
Ghanaians have praised President John Dramani Mahama for his decision to suspend the rotational policy of the Independence Day celebration.
Felix Kwakye Ofosu, Presidential Spokesman and Minister of State in charge of Government Communications, announced at a press conference in Accra on Wednesday, February 12, 2025, that as part of efforts to cut costs, the 68th Independence Day Celebration, themed “Reflect, Review, and Reset,” would be moved from Independence Square to the Presidency in Accra.
He stated that figures on the cost of hosting rotational Independence Day celebrations showed significant financial implications depending on the location. For example, one of the celebrations held in Ho cost the country a staggering GH¢15 million.
He added that every time the celebration was hosted in a regional capital outside Accra, Ghanaians had to bear such costs.
“In the spirit of cutting down on non-essential government expenditure, President Mahama has instructed that this rotational policy be suspended,” he said.
He explained that after reviewing the policy, it was found that the rotation imposed additional costs. At a time when the national budget is severely constrained due to economic difficulties, it would not be sustainable to continue rotating the national celebrations.
Felix Kwakye Ofosu further stated that even the main celebrations, which would have taken place at Independence Square in Accra, had also been scaled down.
He emphasized that President Mahama acknowledges the significance of celebrating Ghana’s independence, calling it “perhaps the most significant event in our entire history as a country.”
However, he also recognizes the economic challenges and the competing needs of the country, particularly in critical sectors that lack adequate funding.
“He believes that at this moment, there is a need to reprioritize government expenditure,” Kwakye Ofosu said.
“One of the areas where savings can be made is the independence celebration.”
The suspension of the rotational celebration has been welcomed by a section of the public, who took to the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, to express their approval.
One user commented, “A wise and responsible decision! Prioritizing essential spending over extravagant celebrations is the leadership Ghana needs right now.”
Another wrote: “The government’s initiative to curtail excessive spending is a commendable step towards fostering economic prudence. This move will pave the way for a future where resources are judiciously allocated, burdens are alleviated, and prosperity is distributed equitably.”
“Proper governance is here. The best leader is here to change the story. Give Mahama time to act in the nation’s interest,” another user added.
A fourth user stated: “Good leaders make difficult decisions at critical times like this. Thumbs up to @JDMahama.”
“God bless Mahama; lessons have been well learned from his first term. So far, so good… At least 12 years for the ‘yaanom’,” another person remarked.
A wise and responsible decision! Prioritizing essential spending over extravagant celebrations is the leadership Ghana needs right now.

Early return to International capital market could weaken economic recovery
By: Racheal Asamoah
World Bank Country Director for Ghana, Liberia, and Sierra Leone, Robert Taliercio, has warned Ghana against making an early return to international capital markets, cautioning that such a move could undermine the country’s recent economic recovery.
He explained that an early return could send negative signals to investors, leading to a reversal of gains made under Ghana’s debt restructuring efforts and exposing the nation to unsustainable borrowing costs.
He was speaking at the launch of the World Bank’s latest Public Finance Review report, titled “Building the Foundations for a Resilient and Equitable Fiscal Policy.’’
His warning follows Ghana’s successful restructuring of both domestic and external debts, which secured significant relief under the $3 billion IMF Extended Credit Facility (ECF) programme.
While commending these achievements, Mr. Taliercio cautioned against complacency, noting that Ghana has had a history of falling back into unsustainable financial practices.
“The risk now is falling into complacency with these achievements and returning to a business-as-usual mindset – a recurring error in the past. Ghana has requested a record 17 IMF programs and has been under active IMF supervision for 40 out of its 68 years of independence,” he stated.
He further stressed that rushing back to international markets for dollar funding could be counterproductive, potentially triggering a return to high borrowing costs and renewed financial instability.
Since 2022, Ghana has been locked out of international capital markets due to soaring debt levels, sluggish economic growth, and a weak balance of payments.

After so much investment, my girlfriend’s mum rejects our marriage over my tribe
File photo of a confused man
Dear GhanaWeb,
I’ve been in a relationship with a beautiful lady for several years.
I met her when she was still in high school, and I immediately told her I liked her and saw a future with her.
I made it my mission to support her through her education, doing everything I could to ensure her comfort. I even went to her home to meet her mother and shared my intentions, assuring her that I’d take good care of her and wait until she finished her schooling before we settled down together.
At the time, her father had passed away, and her mother agreed to my promises. We started our relationship, and I made sure to provide for her throughout high school, showering her with gifts for her academic achievements.
I also took on the responsibility of caring for her younger brother, who was in JHS, as I had no other responsibilities at home. My parents passed away when I was young, and I was eager to start a life with this incredible woman.
I continued supporting her through university and even helped her open a makeup and wig shop once she graduated. Throughout all this, I respected her wishes and refrained from any physical intimacy, as she was worried, I would leave her after sex. I wanted to prove my sincerity, so I never pushed her.
This year, I finally decided to settle down with her, but her mother says she won’t approve of our marriage.
The reason? I’m an Ewe man, and according to her, my people will harm her daughter if we marry.
What shocks me the most is that my girlfriend has now told me that her family doesn’t marry Ewes, and she’s sorry for not mentioning it earlier.
After all the time, effort, and resources I’ve invested in her, her family, and her brother, I’ve never experienced such heartbreak.
Recently, she even texted me, telling me she’s in a new relationship and no longer needs the shop I bought for her, asking if she can return the keys.
I still love her deeply, but I’m unsure how to proceed. I’ve always treated her like a queen, and I feel lost and helpless.
I want to win her back, but I believe her mother is heavily influencing her decision.
I don’t know how to convince her family that not all Ewes are bad people. I need advice on how to move forward.
Thank you.

How the BBC, international media reported Ofori-Atta’s fugitive status
Ghana’s former Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta, was declared wanted by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) on Wednesday, February 12, 2025.
The Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, at a press briefing in Accra, disclosed that the former finance minister, who served for over seven years under the government of former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, is a suspect in several investigations related to corruption and corruption-related offences.
He stated that all attempts to get Ofori-Atta, who is currently outside Ghana, to appear before investigators have proven futile, hence the decision to declare him wanted.
The OSP’s investigations have implicated the former minister in corruption and corruption-related offences linked to the construction of the National Cathedral of Ghana, the revenue assurance deal between the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) and Strategic Mobilisation Limited (SML), and the cancellation of a contract with the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG).
Several international media outlets, including the British state broadcaster, BBC, Bloomberg and others have reported on the OSP’s declaration of Ofori-Atta as a fugitive.
Here are some of the reports:
BBC:
Ghana’s ex-finance minister declared a fugitive
Ghana’s former finance minister Ken Ofori-Atta has been declared a fugitive by prosecutors over his alleged involvement in multiple corruption cases when he was in government.
Ofori-Atta had left Ghana to evade investigations, and all necessary steps would be taken to bring him back, Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyabeng said.
Ofori-Atta has been accused of causing financial losses to the state, including over a controversial national cathedral, which remains a hole in the ground despite the alleged spending of $58m (£46.6m) of government money.
Ofori-Atta has not commented on the allegations. According to Agyabeng, the ex-minister’s lawyers said he was out of the country for medical reasons.
Agyabeng told a press conference that Ofori-Atta, 66, failed to attend an interview with the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), despite being told he was a suspect.
Ofori-Atta left Ghana in early January, and had no intention of “willingly” returning, Agyabeng said.
The OSP was, therefore, declaring him a “wanted person”.
“He is a fugitive from justice,” the special prosecutor added.
Ofori-Atta was finance minister from January 2017 to February 2024, when the New Patriotic Party (NPP) was in power.
It lost elections in December to the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
President John Mahama, who was inaugurated in January, went on to establish an investigative committee known as Operation Recover All Loot.
The committee has received over 200 complaints of corruption, amounting to more than $20bn in recoverable funds.
Mahama has directed the attorney general and minister of justice to launch investigations into these allegations, stating that Ghana will no longer be a safe haven for corruption.
However, some Ghanaians have criticised him for discontinuing cases against his former allies on trial.
Bloomberg:
Ghana Former Finance Minister Declared a Fugitive by Prosecutor
Ghana’s special prosecutor has declared former finance minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, a wanted person after he failed to meet with authorities to answer questions over alleged wrongdoing.
Ofori-Atta, who held the position for seven years from 2017, was replaced as minister last February by former President Nana Akufo-Addo.
Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng declared Ofori-Atta wanted Wednesday after he failed to confirm an appointment date with the prosecutor’s office “to answer to charges relating to” payments made for a controversial national cathedral project, and other issues for which few details were provided.
Lawyers for Ofori-Atta, 66, told the prosecutor’s office he was unable to honor the request to meet because he is outside the country “indefinitely” for medical attention, Agyebeng said. Agyebeng then said his office is “unconvinced” that Ofori-Atta is unable to return to Ghana.
“Consequently, the Office of the Special Prosecutor declares Kenneth Nana Yaw Ofori-Atta a wanted person,” he said. “He is a fugitive from justice.”
Ofori-Atta did not respond to calls and messages sent to his mobile phone.
Widely considered one of the most influential people in the Akufo-Addo administration, the former minister faced criticism as it became clear that the country, once seen as a regional investor darling, couldn’t keep up with debt payments, which were consuming more than half of government revenue.
In December 2022, Ofori-Atta narrowly survived a parliamentary motion to have him removed. And for more than a year, Akufo-Addo fended off critics, saying Ofori-Atta should be allowed to complete negotiations with the International Monetary Fund to secure a $3 billion bailout, which he did, and to reach an agreement with creditors to restructure much of Ghana’s 575.5 billion cedis ($37 billion) of debt at the time.

Removing betting tax will be suicidal! – Dr. John Kwakye warns President Mahama
![John Kwakye [L] has cautioned President Mahama [R] over betting tax](https://cdn.ghanaweb.com/imagelib/pics/659/65969384.295.jpg "John Kwakye [L] has cautioned President Mahama [R] over betting tax")
John Kwakye [L] has cautioned President Mahama [R] over betting tax
The Director of Research at the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA), Dr. John Kwakye, has advised President John Dramani Mahama against scrapping the betting tax.
He explained that the betting industry is expected to continue growing, generating substantial revenue for the economy if the tax is maintained.
The economist asserted that the government should focus on addressing loopholes and strengthening the tax net, rather than eliminating key revenue-generating taxes.
Dr. Kwakye cautioned President Mahama that abolishing the betting tax would be suicidal for his administration, urging him to reconsider the decision.
“Betting will become an increasing part of the economy with huge tax revenue potential. Leaving betting untaxed would be fiscally ill-advised and, indeed, suicidal!
“Planned tax abolitions should be compensated by measures to plug tax loopholes, broaden the tax net, strengthen tax administration, and stem tax evasion. Natural resource receipts should also be fully exploited,” he wrote on X.
Reports indicate that Minister of Finance Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson is working to ensure the betting tax is removed during the 2025 budget reading.
It remains to be seen whether the betting tax will be abolished as President Mahama promised during his 2024 election campaign.

OSP’s noise on Ken Ofori-Atta will amount to nothing—General Mosquito

One of the most fashionable ways to style an Ankara kimono is by layering it over dresses. For a daytime look, an Ankara kimono can be paired with a simple, solid-colored dress. The bold patterns of the kimono add texture and excitement, making the outfit more vibrant without overwhelming it. Opt for kimonos with geometric patterns, floral prints, or abstract designs, which are all on-trend this season.

For a more formal occasion, a floor-length Ankara kimono draped over an evening dress makes a powerful fashion statement. This style is especially great for weddings, evening parties, or cultural events. The flowing silhouette and luxurious prints elevate the dress underneath, creating a sophisticated and regal appearance. Pairing this style with bold accessories like chunky earrings or metallic heels can enhance the look.
Another trendy option is the short-sleeved Ankara kimono, which can be layered over a fitted dress or a jumpsuit. This style adds a touch of contemporary flair while allowing the underneath garment to shine. It’s ideal for a more relaxed, yet stylish approach to dressing up.
The versatility of Ankara kimonos means that they can be worn by anyone, regardless of body type, and can be styled in numerous ways. Whether you’re looking to add a bit of flair to your everyday wear or elevate a special occasion outfit, the Ankara kimono is a timeless piece that brings both style and culture together.
Former MCE Accuses Mahama’s Government of Leadership Failure Amid Post-Election Turmoil
Former Asokore Mampong Municipal Chief Executive Alhaji Alidu Seidu has launched a scathing critique of John Dramani Mahama’s leadership, arguing that recent disarray within the National Democratic Congress (NDC) following its electoral victory exposes the party’s inability to govern effectively.
In an interview with Oyerepa TV/Radio, Seidu, a former New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary candidate for Asawase, dismissed the NDC’s win as a product of voter complacency within his own party rather than a mandate for competent governance.
“The confusion we are witnessing in the NDC after their electoral success confirms one thing: they have no tangible solutions for Ghana’s challenges,” Seidu asserted. He pointed to reported chaos during the transition period as evidence of systemic disorganization, claiming the NDC’s governance flaws were “evident from day one.”
Seidu, a vocal NPP figure, attributed the NDC’s victory to low voter turnout among NPP supporters rather than public confidence in Mahama’s agenda. “Our loss stemmed from apathy within our ranks, not the NDC’s merit. Now, Ghanaians are seeing the consequences of that lapse,” he said, suggesting the NDC’s post-election struggles validate concerns about its preparedness.
The remarks come amid heightened political tensions as the NDC transitions into governance. Critics like Seidu argue that internal party discord—including reported disagreements over appointments and policy priorities—reflects broader leadership deficiencies. Supporters of the Mahama administration, however, view such critiques as premature, emphasizing the complexities of post-election governance and the need for time to implement reforms.
Political analysts note that Seidu’s comments underscore deeper frustrations within the NPP, which faces internal reckoning after its unexpected defeat. The NDC, meanwhile, has yet to formally address the allegations, though its leadership has previously dismissed similar criticism as partisan rhetoric.
As Ghana navigates this contentious political climate, the Mahama administration’s ability to unify its ranks and deliver on campaign promises will likely determine whether accusations of disarray gain traction with the public. For now, Seidu’s broadside highlights the high stakes of Ghana’s political arena, where post-election transitions often serve as battlegrounds for credibility—and where opponents stand ready to capitalize on any perceived misstep.

Ghana’s debt crisis demands tough fiscal reforms
The World Bank has attributed Ghana’s fiscal challenges to a lack of budget discipline, leading to unchecked public spending, surging interest payments, and increasing financial constraints.
In its latest Public Finance Review, the Bank highlights that excessive election-year spending, costly bailouts in the financial and energy sectors, and pandemic-related expenditures have severely strained Ghana’s fiscal space, limiting resources for productive investments.
Government spending has consistently outpaced GDP growth, with nearly 70% of total expenditure between 2010 and 2023 allocated to public sector wages, interest payments, and statutory transfers.
As borrowing costs rose, escalating interest payments have crowded out critical capital investments needed for infrastructure and economic growth.
The report underscores the urgent need for Ghana to reset its fiscal strategy by boosting domestic revenue, rationalizing tax exemptions, and enforcing stricter expenditure controls.
Without deeper reforms, the Bank warns, Ghana risks reversing recent economic gains and prolonging financial instability.
To achieve long-term stability, policymakers must curb non-essential spending, strengthen public financial management, and adopt a more disciplined fiscal framework to restore economic confidence and attract sustainable investments.

EU provides GHC1.6 million to Ghana
The European Union (EU) has provided GHC 1.6 million (€100,000) in humanitarian funding to support communities affected by the ongoing cholera outbreak. The outbreak, which began in October 2024, has spread to 36 districts across five regions—Greater Accra, Central, Western, Eastern, and Ashanti.
In a press release, the EU stated that its financial assistance would support the Ghana Red Cross Society (GRCS) in delivering critical relief interventions, including chlorine for disinfection, handwashing devices, and public health education.
The Ghana Health Service reported 4,850 suspected cases and 35 deaths by the end of December, despite ongoing vaccination efforts to curb the spread of the disease. The outbreak has been attributed to poor hygiene practices, inadequate sanitation, and heavy rains exacerbating drainage issues.
The relief efforts would, therefore, prioritise high-risk areas such as displacement camps and informal settlements on the urban periphery, the release said.
According to the EU, the funding is expected to benefit 150,000 individuals who are at high risk of cholera transmission due to inadequate access to clean water and sanitation facilities.
The Ghana Red Cross has been at the forefront of the response, providing sanitation resources and engaging communities to curb the outbreak’s spread. The support forms part of the EU’s broader contribution to the Disaster Response Emergency Fund (DREF) of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC).
The EU has a €14.5 million humanitarian delegation agreement with the IFRC to replenish the DREF for small-scale disasters that do not trigger a formal international appeal. The EU and its members are the world’s leading providers of humanitarian aid, according to the release.
It works through its Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations department to assist millions of victims of conflict and natural disasters. With headquarters in Brussels, and a global network of field officers, the EU provides emergency relief based on humanitarian needs.
In addition to its humanitarian aid, the EU contributes €40 million towards the development of Ghana’s vaccine manufacturing capability under the Global Gateway flagship initiative.

Government Discovers 81,885 Ghost Names on National Service Payroll.

The government claims to have discovered 81,885 alleged ghost names in a major inconsistency in the National Service payroll.
This statistic is the discrepancy between the payroll information provided by the National Service Authority’s (NSA) prior management and the actual number of active employees.
Compared to the 180,030 names submitted for allowance payment in 2024, the most recent data shows that there are presently 98,145 active duty personnel.
“This figure is 81,885 less than the 180,030 names presented by the previous management of the Authority for allowance payment in 2024,” said the statement.
The 81,885 names that have been marked as possibly exaggerated or false could amount to a significant misappropriation of public monies.
Following an investigation by the Fourth Estate, the payroll disparities were recently discovered, which led President Mahama to move swiftly to guarantee accountability and openness inside the Authority.
Moving forward, the President underlined the necessity of methodical procedures to guarantee that only recognized employees are added to the payroll.
Since the 81,885 probable ghost names on the National Service Authority’s payroll were found, the President has instructed the National Investigations Bureau (NIB) to launch a probe into the agency’s operations right away.

Ghana sports not dead – Kofi Adams
The Minister of Sports and Recreation (MoSR), Mr Kofi Iddie Adams, has stated that the fact that the sector may be facing a myriad of challenges does not mean it is dead.
Answering numerous questions on an Accra based Metro TV Morning Sports show, yesterday, Mr Adams said “Ghana sports is not dead; it is just facing challenges that needs to be addressed. It doesn’t make it dead.”
According to him, sports is confronted with serious problems including funding, infrastructure, corruption, and inadequate professionals and so on.
“Funding is not good and even when funding comes, it is clouded with corruption; this is a big problem. The lack of professionals is also a problem.
“Another problem is the over concentration on football to the detriment of the others; that is not good enough. We need to grow other sports with football together,” he added.
Mr Adams stated that the problem of inadequate professionals can be addressed by the establishment of the University for Sports to educate officials to understand their respective sports discipline.
According to the Sports and Recreation Minister, issues about youth and sports are very important to the government and could form the basis for their detachment from each other.
“President John Mahama is committed to the development of the youth and sports because the bulk of the nation is youthful. That explains why the government detached it even when it vowed to reduce the number of ministries,” he explained.
Again, he said the detachment will also ensure a direct focus on sports development and promotion which is no longer just entertainment but a huge business venture.
Elaborating on funding, Mr Adams mentioned that it was important to roll out initiatives to get the corporate sector involved and hoped that government can promote those policies to encourage corporate sector players to join.
“Secondly, we must wage a war against corruption in sports. We must curb it. Hooliganism must also end and ensure fans and other stakeholders would be safe at the venues.”
Mr Adams hinted that the MoRS will start issuing licenses to contractors that will put up sports facilities for the state.
Reason behind this, he explained, was to ensure value for money, having heard of reports about facilities, especially astro turfs that are not fit for purpose.
On the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Mr Adams noted that government was committed to the Black Stars qualification and would do what was necessary to ensure that.
But before that, Mr Adams is planning for an engagement with leadership of the FA as well as the technical team led by Coach Otto Addo to know at first hand the challenges of the team.
He underlined that the President’s directive to travel on economy and business class would be extended to sports officials and players/athletes, and urged all to cooperate.
Moreover, commenting on the betting tax, Mr Adams described it as unfair, considering the number of times punters play and lose, adding that, “people will play for a long time but never wins, then the only time they win, you take 10 per cent; that’s not fair.”
He pledged to develop an excellent work relations with the media to develop and promote sports and also explain its agenda to Ghanaians.

Nobody paid attention to me, they wanted to see me naked
Renowned actor and producer, Mikki Osei Berko has said his major aim, if elected as president of the Actors Guild, is to prioritize local productions over foreign content, particularly telenovelas, which he believes are overshadowing Ghanaian creativity.
Speaking to GhanaWeb’s Elsie Lamar on Talkertainment, Berko, who once threatened to stage a naked demonstration to protest the dominance of foreign productions on Ghanaian screens, expressed frustration over the lack of attention given to the issue.
“A couple of years ago, I threatened that I was going to have a naked demonstration if some of these productions (Telenovellas) were not taken off our screens. Nobody paid attention to me. And I realised that these people wanted to see me naked. They didn’t care about what I was talking about. But it’s going to get to a point where we need to raise our voices, we need to be heard because it’s damaging and we need to make reforms,” he said.
Mikki Osei Berko pointed out the benefits of promoting Ghanaian content, which included boosting the local creative industry and showcasing the country’s culture to the world.
“Our work doesn’t just bring money to our pockets, it sells the country as well. That is what takes what is in the country to the outside world, what we put on our media. So the benefits are enormous,” he said.
In addition to advocating for local content, Berko outlined plans to improve the welfare of actors.
He emphasized the need for sustainable funding, pension schemes, and savings opportunities for industry professionals.
“Even whilst you are working, you should be able to have enough to save and access pensions,” he stated.

‘Wanted’ Ken Ofori-Atta must carry his own cross
![Former Minister of Finance Ken Ofori-Atta [L] and Vincent Ekow Assafuah](https://cdn.ghanaweb.com/imagelib/pics/366/36629409.295.jpg "Former Minister of Finance Ken Ofori-Atta [L] and Vincent Ekow Assafuah")
Former Minister of Finance Ken Ofori-Atta [L] and Vincent Ekow Assafuah
The Member of Parliament for Old Tafo, Vincent Ekow Assafuah, has stated that the former Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta, must accept full responsibility for his actions amid ongoing corruption investigations by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP).
His comment comes after the OSP officially declared Ken Ofori-Atta a suspect in four high-profile corruption investigations, including cases related to the National Cathedral project, Strategic Mobilization Limited (SML), and two other matters.
Speaking at a press briefing on Wednesday, February 12, Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng stated that Ofori-Atta is now a wanted person and must return to Ghana immediately to face questioning.
He warned that failure to comply would result in measures being taken to compel his return.
Dismissing claims that Ofori-Atta had left the country for medical treatment, Agyebeng insisted that the former minister must cooperate with the ongoing investigations.
He also refuted reports suggesting that officials from the OSP had raided Ofori-Atta’s residence on Tuesday, February 11.
Instead, Agyebeng alleged that the raid was staged by the former minister himself in an attempt to mislead the public and discredit the OSP’s investigations.
Commenting further on the issue in an interview with Starr News, Vincent Assafuah, who is also a lawyer, said the former finance minister “must carry his own cross.”
In 2022, 90 New Patriotic Party (NPP) Members of Parliament demanded the dismissal of Ken Ofori-Atta over his poor handling of the economy, which was in dire straits.
The MPs threatened to boycott government business and the presentation of the 2023 budget. However, then-President Akufo-Addo feared that terminating Ofori-Atta’s appointment would disrupt the IMF programme and appealed to the MPs to exercise patience.
He met with the aggrieved MPs at the Jubilee House, where he appealed for calm.
In a statement, however, the then-Majority Caucus said it had agreed to accede to the President’s appeal.
Ken Ofori-Atta was eventually relieved of his position in a cabinet reshuffle announced on February 14, 2024.

Government must explore diplomatic financing options, tap into Stabilisation Fund – Prof. Gatsi
Dean of University of Cape Coast Business School, Professor John Gatsi
The government has been advised to urgently explore other diplomatic sources of financing apart from the United States and draw some money from the Ghana Stabilisation Fund (GSF).
This is to help reduce the burden particularly on Ghana’s health sector, which has suffered a US$78.2 million out of a total of US$156m funding gap created by the withdrawal of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) support.
Professor John Gatsi, the Dean of University of Cape Coast Business School, said this in an exclusive interview with the Ghana News Agency.
This comes on the back of President John Dramani Mahama’s directive to the Finance Minister, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, to take immediate actions to close the funding gap.
He said the situation called for “critical thinking into exploring all avenues of financing the needs of our people. The first thing that should be happening now is to broaden our scope of engagement within the diplomatic communities.”
“The Government must scale-up what we get from Norway, UK, and other countries, and even countries that have not been supporting us. This is the time to be aggressive in contacting them to see how they can scale up their support to Ghana,” Prof Gatsi said.
He called for a strategic collaboration between the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in achieving that goal.
A leaked memo in the international cycles has indicated a restoration of USAID support to some “strategic countries,” but it remains unknown if Ghana is part of those.
Prof Gatsi said while the country waited to get more details on the “strategic countries,” it could draw some money from the Ghana Stabilisation Fund, which receives 30 percent of the country’s petroleum revenue.
The Reconciliation Report on the Petroleum Holding Fund presented to Parliament by the Finance Ministry showed that at the end of 2023, the closing balance of the Fund was US$190.38 million.
“The Stabilisation Fund under the Petroleum Revenue Management tells us that we can take some money from that Fund to support the economy in terms of acute difficulty. So, we should be targeting to get some money to support the economy regarding this shortfall,” he said.
Paul Adom-Otchere Reveals the Person Who Instructed the Military to Raid Ken Ofori-Atta’s House
Paul Adom-Otchere, the host of Good Evening Ghana on Metro TV, has revealed the person behind the recent military raid on the home of former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta. Speaking on his show on Tuesday, February 11, 2025, Paul disclosed that the current Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, gave the order for the military to invade Ofori-Atta’s residence.
According to Paul Adom-Otchere, Kissi Agyebeng is leading investigations into the controversial Strategic Mobilisation Limited (SML) deal, which has raised serious concerns about financial mismanagement and potential loss to the state. He explained that the Special Prosecutor’s team decided to raid Ken Ofori-Atta’s house as part of their ongoing investigations.
Paul further revealed that Ken Ofori-Atta is currently in the United States receiving medical treatment. Despite his absence, the Special Prosecutor instructed military officers to search his home, possibly to secure evidence related to the SML case.
What makes Paul Adom-Otchere’s revelation even more shocking is his claim that he has video evidence of the military raid. He mentioned that the footage clearly shows how the military officers carried out the operation at Ofori-Atta’s Cantonments residence.
This revelation has generated mixed reactions among Ghanaians, with many questioning the role of the Special Prosecutor and the use of military force in such investigations. So far, neither Kissi Agyebeng nor the military has responded to these claims.
Ghanaians are eagerly waiting for an official statement from the Special Prosecutor’s office to confirm or deny Paul Adom-Otchere’s allegations. The situation continues to raise concerns about the handling of the SML investigation and the security of individuals under probe.

Maintain momentum on fiscal reforms to build resilient economy – WB
The World Bank has entreated the government to maintain momentum and stay on course with ongoing fiscal reforms to build a strong and resilient economy.
The World Bank Country Director for Ghana, Liberia and Sierra Leone, Robert R. Taliercio who made the call in Accra yesterday, said though the country’s macroeconomic outlook had improved due to the 93 per cent completion of its debt restructuring, the economy remained fragile.
He was speaking during the launch of the World Bank’s latest and flagship report titled Ghana Public Finance Review “Building the Foundations for a Resilient and Equitable Fiscal Policy.”
Mr Taliercio in his remarks said the risk facing Ghana now was complacency with the achievements it had made under the International Monetary Fund programme and the country’s debt restructuring exercise, and “returning to a business-as-usual mindset – a recurring error in the past.”
“Not fully completing the adjustment programmes – reducing debt to Gross Domestic Product ratio to 55 per cent by 2028- could jeopardise the credibility of policy reforms and the fundamentals for long-term growth,” Dr Taliercio said.
The World Bank Country Director cautioned that a premature return to the international capital market could send the wrong signal to markets and a reversal to unsustainable borrowing costs.
Mr Taliercio said there was the need for the government to “strengthen fiscal discipline” to ensure effective expenditure management and control, indicating that the government expenditure grew faster than GDP between 2010-2020 and about 70 per cent of this was dedicated to public wages, interest payments, and earmarked statutory funds.
The World Bank Country Director also emphasised the need to boost domestic revenue collection to enlarge fiscal space.
He said the share of revenue to GDP fell to 13 per cent by 2021, below comparator countries.
To enhance domestic revenue mobilisation, Mr Taliercio said the government must ensure tax compliance, broaden the tax net.
He said the tax exemptions on Value Added Tax, Personal Income Tax and import duties must be critically looked at, saying these tax handles “cost about 3.9 per cent of GDP in lost revenue.”
Mr Taliercio said the government must prioritise investments in infrastructure, Information Communication Technology, research and development and technological innovation.
“Using fiscal policy to support innovative financing mechanisms for a climate-resilient and low-carbon economy through climate-smart agriculture, integrated water and forest management, resilient cities and infrastructure, and a clean energy transition,” he stated.
Touching on the importance of the report, the World Bank Country Director said it explored the critical role of effective fiscal policies and public financial management in achieving sustainable and equitable economic growth.
“It offers an in-depth look at the efficiency, equity, and impact of public revenue and expenditure in Ghana, aiming to inform the country’s fiscal consolidation efforts as it recovers from overlapping crises,” Mr Taliercio stated.
He said the World Bank would support the government’s “reset” agenda towards economic transformation and fiscal sustainability, a cornerstone for sustainable growth.
The Finance Minister, Dr Cassiel Ato Baah Forson, in a speech read on his behalf, said the Ghana Public Finance Review came at a pivotal moment with a transition in government when the government sought to implement far-reaching reforms to strengthen public financial management, improve expenditure efficiency and boost domestic revenue mobilisation.
He said strengthening fiscal discipline, enhancing domestic revenue mobilisation, and addressing fiscal liabilities from State-Owned Enterprises especially in the energy sector were critical to ensuring sustainable economy growth.
He said the government would enhance tax administration by restructuring the Ghana Revenue Authority, operationalise the Independent Tax Appeals Board and enact a Natural Resources Revenue Management Act.
“We will also diversify funding options through initiatives like Diaspora Bonds and seek membership in the Islamic Development Bank to broaden development financing opportunities,” Dr Forson stated.
He said the Ghana Public Finance Review report provided valuable insights and recommendations that would guide the government’s fiscal consolidation efforts.
The Government Statistician, Professor Samuel K. Annim, lauded the World Bank for the report and stressed the need for all stakeholders to actively engage with government financial statistics.
