I call on President Mahama not to renew the Gold Fields Tarkwa lease. As Ghanaians return home from South Africa with nothing, our gold must begin working for Ghanaians. Sign the petition. #DoNotRenewTheLease #StopGoldfields c.org/7vt7DwsrHZ

If an applicant is told they failed to meet the pass mark in a security recruitment exercise, the least the authorities can do is disclose the actual score obtained. Transparency builds trust. Secrecy only raises questions about fairness.

The leadership of the Young Parliamentarians Forum on Thursday met with the Rt Hon. Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, to discuss the Forum’s planned programmes and activities for this session of Parliament. The meeting provided an opportunity to brief the Speaker on initiatives aimed at strengthening the role of young legislators in parliamentary work, encouraging policy innovation, and promoting collaboration among younger Members of Parliament. We remain committed to contributing meaningfully to the legislative process and supporting efforts that deepen democratic governance in our country.

I am a co sponsor of a new bill currently before Parliament called the Constitution of the Republic of Ghana (Amendment) Bill, 2025. This bill is meant to change parts of our Constitution that currently stop some Ghanaians from holding certain public positions just because they hold another citizenship or are seen as owing allegiance to another country . Many Ghanaians living abroad are doing very well and continue to support Ghana by sending money home, investing in businesses, creating jobs, and sharing knowledge. This bill is to make sure that such citizens are not unfairly blocked from serving Ghana if they are capable and willing. Supporting this bill does not mean loyalty to Ghana is reduced. It simply means Ghana is opening up to use the experience and skills of all her citizens, wherever they live.

Grateful to God for a new year. Thank you all for your support. Wishing everyone peace, good health and success throughout the year. Happy New Year.

Honoured to join the Young Parliamentarians’ Forum of Ghana on a benchmarking visit to Rwanda. We met with the Parliament and key ministries on youth, unity, communication, and education. Inspired by Rwanda’s story of reconciliation and national purpose. #ParliamentOfGhana #LeadershipExchange #Unity

The government must pause the AT–Telecel merger. Rektron has committed $150m to acquire AT Ghana with a plan to clear debts, recapitalise, modernise networks and deliver 4G/5G. Ghanaians deserve transparency on which option creates real competition, not expedience. *Rektron submits proof of US$150 million for AT Ghana to KPMG* techfocus24.com/rektron-subm…

I recently shared thoughts on the government’s decision to merge AT Ghana and Telecel. This is a commendable step in addressing the imbalance in our telecom sector, where MTN dominates nearly 79 per cent of the market. Yet the hard truth is that combining two struggling operators does not automatically create a strong competitor. Real progress requires restructuring, efficiency, and alignment with national initiatives such as the Next-Gen Infrastructure Company (NGIC) rollout of 4G and 5G. When Parliament resumes, I look forward to scrutinising the details of this transaction to ensure that it delivers affordable data, reliable service, and genuine competition for the Ghanaian people. 🔗 Full article here: myjoyonline.com/mpraeso-mp-a…

As someone born and raised in Adedenkpo, a typical Ga community, I've been following the current discussions about "Akwaaba" versus "Obaake" with great interest. While I appreciate that this debate has brought more attention to our Ga word "Obaake," I believe we need to consider how language evolves and gains broader recognition. Some words naturally transcend their ethnic origins to become part of our national or even international vocabulary. Take "kwashiorkor" - this Ga word describing childhood malnutrition has gained global recognition in medical literature and is used worldwide. No one questions its Ga origins, yet it serves a universal purpose. Similarly, "Akwaaba" has evolved beyond its Akan roots to become a symbol of Ghanaian hospitality recognized internationally. When tourists see "Akwaaba" at Kotoka International Airport, they understand it as Ghana's warm welcome, not specifically an Akan welcome. I believe our focus should be on how our diverse languages can contribute to Ghana's national identity rather than competing for dominance. The beauty of Ghana lies in our multilingual heritage - Ga, Akan, Ewe, and many others all enrich our cultural tapestry. Instead of seeing this as a zero-sum game, perhaps we can explore ways to celebrate all our languages while recognizing that some words, through usage and time, become part of our shared national vocabulary. This doesn't diminish the value of "Obaake" or any other greeting - it simply acknowledges how language naturally evolves in our diverse society. Let's use this moment not to divide, but to educate each other about our rich linguistic diversity while building bridges across our communities.

Even while Parliament is on recess, the Public Accounts Committee is getting ready for an important task. Yesterday, we sat down with the Auditor-General and some key agencies to prepare for our public hearings, which begin on Monday. Over the coming days, we will review the 2024 Audit Report to ensure that public funds are managed well and every cedi is accounted for. This is how we keep your trust and protect the public purse. #PAC #ParliamentOfGhana #Accountability #Transparency

Dear President @JDMahama , With the courage of Murtala Mohammed, The precision of Edward Omane Boamah, And the fearless hearts of Squadron Leader Peter, Flying Officer Twum Ampadu, and Sergeant Ernest Addo, we rise. Let our rivers flow pure, as beautiful as Samuel Aboagye and Dr. Samuel Sarpong, watched over with the vigilance of Alhaji Muniru Mohammed. For their memory, our children, and our land, let us fight galamsey hard.

Why should Ghanaians pay almost three times more than Nigerians for the same @DStv service? The facts speak for themselves. Premium package: Ghana $82.40. Nigeria $29.00. Compact package: Ghana $36.20. Nigeria $12.40. Even Angola, a smaller country with a smaller market, pays just $33 for Premium. South Africa, where MultiChoice is headquartered, pays $51. Yet Ghana is charged the highest. This raises serious questions. Why is Ghana charged more despite our smaller market and recent economic improvements? Why could price increases be reversed in Nigeria after government intervention, but not here? Shouldn’t Ghanaians enjoy fair and regionally competitive pricing like our neighbours? I commend the Minister for standing up for consumers, but we must engage carefully. Immediate license revocation could affect hotels, pubs and families who rely on these services daily. We need constructive engagement with MultiChoice that delivers genuine price reductions, not excuses. Ghanaians deserve fairness, and the state must protect that interest.

It’s been a great experience being part of the University of Ghana School of Law’s Tech Policy Fellowship study tour to South Africa, supported by GIZ. We had the opportunity to learn from some of the best on the continent in areas like tech governance, innovation and digital policy. The insights gained are practical and relevant as we work to shape Ghana’s digital future. Grateful to be part of this journey.

God bless you @BryanAcheampong for attending upon my invitation. You're a real brother

Today, during his official visit to Ghana, Indian Prime Minister @narendramodi addressed the Parliament, urging MPs to build strong institutions through democracy. He praised Ghana as a shining example of courage and democratic commitment and called the country an inspiration for Africa. Prime Minister Modi highlighted the long-standing friendship between Ghana and India, joking warmly that “our friendship is sweeter than your famous pineapple,” and stressed the need for Africa to have a stronger voice in global governance. He also invited Ghanaian MPs to visit India’s new Parliament to strengthen ties and proposed creating a Ghana-India Parliamentary Association to deepen collaboration. This historic visit is a powerful step toward stronger relations between our nations, focused on trade, technology, education, and cultural exchange.

On Sunday, I spent time with brilliant young men at the 2025 National Youth Mock Parliament. Their energy and passion give me hope for Ghana’s future. Let’s keep working together to build a stronger, fairer country. @PNAfricawatch #YouthEmpowerment #Leadership
