GFL-ITUC Africa holds a forum on the African Union Protocol on Social Protection


The Ghana Federation of Labour (GFL), in collaboration with the African Regional Organisation of the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC-Africa), has held a day’s forum on the African Union Protocol on Social Protection.

Dr. Ghislaine Saizonou épsouse Broohm, the Coordinator of the Social Protection and Equality Programme, ITUC-Africa, said the forum served as a platform for awareness creation on the protocol.

Dr. Broohm said it was important to promote the protocol as it was clear that each citizen needed to get access to social protection and equity, hence the need to ensure that unions were well informed on it to serve as advocates.

She said unions must collaborate with other stakeholders, such as civil society organisations, to advocate governments to sign and ratify the protocol, which has all the needed provisions to protect citizens.

She added that the current executive of the ITUC-Africa has social protection as its key pillar, and therefore, starting with Ghana, it would be rolling out
a series of fora in member countries across Africa on the Protocol.

Mr. Auberon Jeleel Odoom, the Executive Director of Inclusive Ghana, stated in a presentation on the Protocol on Social Protection and Social Security that the Protocol was a component of the African Union Agenda 2063, which was the blueprint to develop Africa into a powerhouse of the future.

Mr. Odoom said the AU Social Agenda was adopted in January 2020, while the Protocol on Social Protection and Social Security was also adopted in February 2022.

He indicated that the Protocol was peculiar to the issues in Africa and therefore countries must ratify it for implementation, adding regrettably that currently only Niger and São Tomé and Principe have signed it.

‘It is something we must have to protect everyone, both the young and old, but our governments are not doing it; we must ensure that they sign and ratify it to benefit everyone; social protection is a human right for all,’ he added.

He said the Protocol was formulated and adopted be
cause it was realised that there was the absence of social protection measures in African countries, the availability of ad hoc measures, and the inability of citizens to be provided with social protection as a right.

Other reasons for the Protocol, he noted, have to do with the non-alignment of most social protection measures with regional and international legal frameworks and instruments.

Mr. Odoom said it would also serve as a guide for countries as they develop their social protection systems, adding that lessons from COVID-19 also necessitated it.

He said the Protocol contained 39 articles that covered social insurance, unemployment and underemployment, family, women and girls, cross-border migrants and internally displaced persons, older persons, children, adolescents, and youth.

Others are persons with disabilities, maternity and paternity, healthcare, protection, and sickness benefits; occupational health; safety and employment injury; education; death and survival benefits; food and nutrition; w
ater; sanitation and hygiene; as well as housing; and climate change, among others.

Mr. Caleb Nartey, the President of the GFL, and Mr. Abraham Koomson, the Secretary General of the GFL, called for the implementation of social protection laws and instruments to ensure that people’s rights were respected.

They noted that there was a need to push governments to stop taking citizens for granted and politicising such social protection issues, but rather do well to provide for their needs.

They said unions must arise and bring themselves together to be able to fight on behalf of not only their members but the people as a whole.

Let’s harness the power of digital tools to address Ghana’s developmental challenges – Dr Bawumia


Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia has underscored the need for the nation to leverage the tools of digitalisation to address its developmental challenges.

He said, over the past seven years, the Government had shown leadership in digitalisation by implementing key initiatives to transform the government machinery for efficiency and productivity.

Speaking at the Bank of Ghana’s (BoG) maiden eCedi Hackathon Awards in Accra on Thursday, Dr Bawumia said the country could improve the welfare of Ghanaians if digital solutions were adopted.

‘Based on evidence, we are convinced that we can accelerate the development of our country and improve the welfare of many Ghanaians if digital solutions are widely adopted,’ the Vice President stated.

The BoG’s eCedi Hackathon Awards is intended to recognise the creative prowess in innovative solutions based on the Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) solution tools.

The eCedi Hackathon is a cutting-edge competition that brings together the highest minds in technology and fi
nance to explore the endless possibilities of the CBDC.

It is designed to foster innovation, drive technological advancement and develop solutions that would redefine the Ghanaian financial landscape.

Vice President Bawumia stated that the Government had largely depended on local talents in implementing its digitalisation initiatives.

‘I am excited at the prospects of harnessing the power of technology to address country’s developmental problems through cooperative competition by tapping the imaginative capabilities of solution developers, innovators, user experience designers, consumer insights experts and financial service providers,’ Dr Bawumia pointed out.

‘Since the launch of the e-Cedi hackathon, I have followed subsequent developments with keen interest, and we are all here to witness the climax, during which a select group of participants will be recognised for their creative prowess in the form of innovative solutions based on CBDC solution tools,’ he stated.

The Vice President was of the view t
hat the event was more than an awards ceremony, but a celebration of the country’s capacity to co-create innovative solutions that respond to the diverse needs of the Ghanaian society by leveraging the tools of digital technology.

Over the past few years, Dr Bawumia said, the Government had made a lot of investment in a curated set of national infrastructure that laid a solid foundation for the digital transformation of the Ghanaian economy for inclusive economic development.

These included the National Identification and Digital Address Systems, e-government services, National Payments, and Digital Financial Services platforms-the backbone of a robust broadband infrastructure.

Those interventions, Dr Bawumia explained, had brought tremendous improvements to the various sectors of the Ghanaian society.

‘Indeed, government has shown leadership in digitalisation by implementing key initiatives to transform the government machinery for efficiency, depending largely on local talents.

‘The flagship Ghana.gov
platform, a product of collaboration among Ghanaian FinTechs, enables citizens to access diverse government services online, including tax filing, business registration, and passport applications,’ the Vice President stated

Dr Bawumia was of the conviction that the digitalisation initiatives had enabled Ghana to witness tremendous benefits including improved processes and easy access to services, improved compliance, efficiency, and transparency.

‘Similar improvements have also been recorded in national health insurance renewals, licensing applications, and renewals where digital technologies have been implemented.

‘These achievements have strengthened government’s resolve to, as much as possible, use local talents in the national digitalisation drive,’ he stated.

The government’s national digitalisation agenda, Dr Bawumia said, sought to foster the adoption of digital technology in every sector and across the country in furtherance of that objective.

The 10 finalists of the eCedi Hackathon Awards cover
diverse sectors of the Ghanaian economy and different use cases of the e-Cedi.

Forward Titans was adjudged the overall winner of the eCedi Hackathon and won a prize money of GHS500,000, Nokofio was second and had GHS300,000 and Pay Code came third with a prize of GHS200,000.

Each of the 10 finalists was presented with a certificate.

Minister confirms Nunoo Mensah owns 4.4% shares in Barari DV Ghana Ltd


Mr Samuel Abu Jinapor, the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, Friday confirmed that Mr Ben Nunoo Mensah, President of the Ghana Olympic Committee, is the beneficiary owner of the 4.4 per cent shareholding in Barari DV Ghana Ltd, a subsidiary of Atlantic Lithium Limited.

He said Mr Nunoo Mensah’s stake in the company dated back to 2012 and that no member of the Akufo-Addo-led Government owned shares in Barari DV Ghana, as being speculated.

The Minister’s response followed a challenge thrown by Mr Sammy Gyamfi, the Communication Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to the Government to disclose the identity of the one holding 4.4 per cent stake in Barari DV Ghana Ltd.

Speaking at a stakeholder engagement with civil society organisations in Accra on the Lithium deal, Mr Jinapor said the Government had nothing to hide regarding the Lithium Lease Agreement and would continue to engage relevant bodies to ensure that Ghanaians became the ultimate beneficiaries of the country’s resources.

‘As
the debate is ongoing regarding the Lithium Lease Agreement involving the academia, civil society organisations and so forth, the platform is open to talk to each other, jawjaw and brainstorm on the management of our natural resources to bring progess,’ he said.

‘And I believe with our collective wisdom, we can have positive wayforward.’

However, the Minister said it was important to segregate opinions and emotions from the real facts and data.

The Government knew the issues regarding mining in Ghana, spanning over a century, therefore, it went through a laborious process to ensure that Ghana’s green minerals, which Lithium is part, benefitted the people, he noted.

In that regard the President insisted that a policy framework was developed for the green minerals before any negotiations commenced.

Hence, the policy framework developed required a minimum of seven per cent royalty rate, higher than the five per cent accepted in other minerals.

Mr Jinapor, for instance, said in the Lithium Lease Agreement s
igned with Barari DV Ghana Limited, the parties agreed that the State would have 19 per cent Free Carried Interest with an option of scaling up to a minimum of 30 per cent.

‘There is a 13 per cent royalties, higher than the 10 per cent in the previous agreement, 35 per cent corporate income tax, while one per cent of the Company’s revenues would go to Community Development Fund.’

‘There is also a requirement to establish a refinery to process Lithium locally before export.’

‘The State also has 3% shares in the local company (Barari DV Ghana Ltd) and 6% in Atlanta Lithium global.’

‘More so, the Lease Agreement must go through Parliament for consideration and ratification before it can be validated.’

On refining the lithium ore locally, the Minister said either Barari DV Ltd could establish a refinery to process it or give to a third party to do so.

That, he believed, would enable the nation to benefit fully from the entire value chain of lithium exploitation.

Madam Nafi Chinery, Africa Director, Natural
Resource Governance Institute, in her opening remarks, said the engagement with the CSOs would allow government to receive actionable recommendations and inputs to guide Parliamentary debates on the proposed Lithium Agreement.

It would also foster understanding of the content of the Agreement and provide accurate information and data on the potential quality, value and revenue expected from the mineral’s exploitation to guide public discourse.

Some participants called for amendments to the country’s mining and mineral laws to be in sync with the terms agreed in the Lithium Agreement.

Residents commend Dr. Jasaw for GHS 50,000.00 dam rehabilitation project


Residents of Duccie, a farming community in the Wa East District, have expressed gratitude to the Wa East Member of Parliament (MP), Dr. Godfred Seidu Jasaw, for intervening to rehabilitate a broken dam in the community.

The residents said the dam served as a source of water for them to do dry season farming and for their livestock but was washed off by flood some months ago.

The rehabilitation of the dam was estimated at about GHS 50,000.00 and was funded by the MP to help restore the livelihoods of the community people.

Mr Samsideen Nimbara, a resident gave the commendation in an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) during a monitoring visit of the Wa East Constituency Chairperson and some constituency executives of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to the ongoing project site.

He said the community had made several appeals to the District Assembly and District Chief Executive (DCE) to rehabilitate the dam but to no avail after many promises the DCE had made to them.

‘We used to farm vegeta
bles here, but since the dam broke, we are not able to do that again.

Madam Ajara Kanganu, also a resident, said they depend on that dam for water for domestic purposes and that since the dam broke some months ago, women have been the worst affected.

‘We the women and children in Duccie are the ones suffering the most because of this dam. We must wake up at dawn in this chilly weather to search for water for our families,’ she indicated.

‘Everyone in this community is happy for what Dr. Jasaw is doing here. If you do not have water in the house, you cannot do anything.

We pray that God will continue to bless him so that he will continue to do what he is doing for us,’ Madam Buso Adamu, another resident, added.

The MP also donated 30 pieces of metallic dual desks to the Balayiri, Kparisaga, and Bunaa schools to help reduce the plight of the school children sitting on bare floors to learn.

Mr Abu Balifiama, the Wa East Constituency Chairperson of the NDC, indicated that the MP was committed to contributin
g to the development of the constituency with the limited resources at his disposal.

He explained that the Wa East lawmaker, since assumed office as MP in 2021, had exhibited his commitment to supporting the education sector in the constituency.

Those interventions, Mr Balifiama identified, included the donation of over 500 pieces of metallic dual desks to schools in the constituency to enhance teaching and learning.

Assembly Elections: Civil and Local Government Staff who win must resign


The Local Government Service has reminded Civil and Local Government Staff who are contesting the December 19 District Level Elections to resign from the Service should they win the elections.

The Office said although members of the Civil Service or Local Government Service had the right to contest the elections, the Constitution barred them from holding office as Assembly Members whiles in service.

Dr Nana Ato Arthur, Head of the Local Government Service, told the Ghana News Agency that successful civil servants, who were sworn into office as Assembly Members, must resign or would be removed from the Service.

The position of the Service takes inspiration from a 2017 Supreme Court ruling on a case involving the Civil and Local Government Staff Association of Ghana versus the Attorney General.

The court case was occasioned by a letter from the Head of Civil Service and addressed to ‘All Chief Directors’ and ‘All Heads of Departments’, which barred persons holding civil service positions from participating
in elections among other political activities.

The Supreme Court in its interpretation of articles 12(2), 21(1)(a) and (d), 21(3), 35(6) 55(1),(2) and (10) and 284 of the Constitution, ruled that ‘a member of the Civil Service or Local Government Service has the right to contest in local government elections whilst still a member of the Civil Service or Local Government Service.’

‘However, on a true and proper interpretation of articles 12(2), 21(1)(a) and (d), 21(3), 35(6) 55(1),(2) and (10) and 284 of the Constitution, a member of the Civil Service or Local Government Service does not have the right to remain a member of the Civil Service or Local Government Service after being sworn in as a member of a District Assembly,’ the Court said.

Nana Arthur said following the ruling, four out of eight of its staff, who participated in the last District Level Elections were removed from the Service, while four others, who resigned from their Assembly positions had re-joined the Service.

‘Staff of Civil Service
can become Assembly members. But for you to be committed to your salary dutifully, you should resign from the local government service so that your functional responsibility at local government or civil service wouldn’t contradict that of the Assembly member.

‘You have the right to contest but immediately you win and sworn in, you should resign from local government service,’ he said.

Nana Arthur said Assembly Members played significant roles in their respective electoral areas especially in rural areas and advocated the payment of stipends to facilitate their work and motivate them to do more.

He rallied the public to take the upcoming district level elections seriously and participate in it to help build effective local government architecture.

‘The national effects are the total of the local effects. If you build the local democracy very well, it reflects at the national level.

‘If you have very good district assemblies with competent assembly members, that should be the best in our democratic dispens
ation,’ Nana Arthur said.

District League Table: Korle Klottey tops all


The Korle Klottey Municipal Assembly in the Greater Accra region has been ranked the best performing District with a score of 85.82 points in the 2022 District League Table (DLT).

The Assembly rose from the sixth position in 2021 to top the table this year.

It is followed by Ayawaso West Municipal Assembly, with a score of 79.71 points, the same position it had in the 2021 report.

Tema Metropolis, which ranked first in the 2021 DLT, dropped to third position in the 2022 DLT with a score of 78.59.

The top are New Juaben South, Obuasi, Secondi-Takoradi, Asutifi North, Cape Coast Metropolis, Dormaa Central, Nandom, and Kwadaso.

The ten least performing are Akatsi South, NorthEast Gonja, Sawla-Tuna-Kabla, Sagnarigu, Nanumba South, Binduri, Kwahu Afram Plains North, North Tongu, Fanteakwa South, and Central Gonja.

Eighteen indicators were used to assess the MMDAs in eight sectors – education, health, nutrition, water, sanitation, energy, governance and child protection.

Some of the key indicators are net e
nrollment rates at KG for boys and girls, net enrollment rates at primary for boys and girls, net enrollment rates at JHS for boys and girls, proportion of population with access to basic drinking water, and percentage of communities covered by electricity, among others.

The National Development Planning Commission (NDPC) in collaboration with the United Nations Childrens Education Fund (UNICEF) supervised the findings that were disclosed at the launched of the 2022 DLT report in Accra.

Mr David Quaye Annang, Vice Chair, National Development Planning Commission, speaking at the launch, explained that the DLT was a simple ranking tool for assessing various development in the MMDAs based on some indicators.

The DLT is to strengthen the national monitoring and evaluation system.

It is to be used to inform priorities and programmes.

Mr Annang said the DLT told the story of challenges facing the Assemblies and how they were tackling them.

Dr Nana Ato Arthur, Head of the Local Government Service, said the DLT
should be used as a guide to provide evidence and basis for more equitable resource allocation and social investment to reduce disparities among MMDAs.

He emphasised the need for reliable data in the compilation of the DLT to reflect the true issues at the local level.

Mr Osama Makkawi Khogali, UNICEF Country Representative said the DLT was not only an important accountability tool but an effective instrument for monitoring and evaluating progress of Ghana’s development being spread equitably across the nation.

He said UNICEF’s interest in the DLT report was in relation to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the areas of child protection, innovation, health, nutrition, water and sanitation.

‘This is the only way that Ghana can strategically make progress at financing the Sustainable Development Goals,’ he said.

Journalist promises to make Nintin a best choice for organic banana


An aspiring assembly member for the Nintin electoral area in the Asante Mampong municipality, has promised to make the community a destination for organic banana in Ghana.

Mr. Nicholas Osei-Wusu, a Broadcast Journalist with the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC), said his main occupation as an assembly member would be to ensure that the women in the town benefited immensely from the banana trade in the community.

Nintin, which is located immediately after the famous Mampong Scarp from the Kumasi direction, is known as the hub of banana in the Ashanti region, where most women predominantly trade and hawk banana along the main Kumasi-Mampong Highway.

It is the economic mainstay of the inhabitants especially the women folks whose main target market is the commuters and motorists who patronize the commodity during stopovers.

Speaking during a campaign platform created for aspiring |Assembly Members to sell their messages to the electorate, Mr. Osei-Wusu said the situation gave Nintin an opportunity to crea
te wealth and economic empowerment for the women to improve household incomes.

‘In this socio-economic plan, I intend to, with the cooperation and support of all interested individuals and groups, leverage on my media advantage to promote Nintin to become the destination of choice in Ghana for organic banana, just as Akomadan is associated with tomatoes,’ he told the electorate.

The expectation, according to him, was that if the plan succeeded, the women, who trade in the commodity, would enjoy astronomical patronage from across the country to increase their sales and incomes.

Mr Osei-Wusu who is a Regional Correspondent of the GBC in Ashanti region, also spoke about plans to address the acute water shortage in the electoral area, which was adversely impacting economic activities and school attendance.

‘If elected, I plan to continue with the initial steps I took with some of the leaders of Nintin in seeking extension of pipe borne water from Mampong or seek any other viable alternative reliable water sou
rces to serve the people,’ he assured.

He said poor sanitation remained a major concern especially in Nintin such that open defecation was a common practice due to lack of any decent alternative as against the obvious health and hygiene consequences.

‘I will, therefore, intensify my plea with the Greater Kumasi Metropolitan Area Water and Sanitation programme towards addressing the problem in order to resolve the poor sanitation and environmental hygiene condition in the two towns’.

Presently, residents of the two communities are battling attacks by strange insects which bites are subtle but leave people with rashes and other uncomfortable skin conditions.

To address this health concern, Mr. Osei-Wusu, said he would liaise with the Municipal Environmental Health Directorate as well as the Municipal Health Directorate to identify the actual causative issues with the view to tackling the root cause of this serious health concern of the people.

To bring local governance closer to the people, he promised to,
as much as possible, hold periodic meetings with the two communities and their opinion leaders, in accordance with the Local Government Act, to seek their views on issues and take them to assembly meetings for consideration.

Low turnout

Concerns have been raised about the low voter turnout in District Level Elections in decades as compared to General Election.

Whiles the national voter turnout for District Level Elections stood below 40 per cent since 1988, voter turnout for General Election, which involved presidential and parliamentary candidates and partisan, avera
ged 70 per cent since 1992.

Some experts have proposed the participation of political parties in the District Level Elections to help mobilise resources and whip up public interest.

The Constitution currently bars political parties from participating in elections at the local level.

Article 55(3) of the 1992 Constitution, which is an entrenched clause, prohibits the inclusion of party politics in local governance.

A planned referendum to amend that portion of the Constitution was aborted in 2019 due to the lack of consensus among key stakeholders on the involvement of political parties in elections at the local level.

Old Tafo NCCE engages National Service Personnel in District Level Elections


Kumasi, Dec. 15, GNA-The Old Tafo Municipal Directorate of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), has engaged National Service Personnel in the Municipality as part of efforts to whip up interest in the upcoming District Level Elections (DLEs).

The engagement was to encourage the personnel to actively participate in the impending local elections which is the foundation of the country’s governance system.

It formed part of public engagements by the Commission to increase turnout in the election scheduled for December 19, this year.

The DLE since 1988 has suffered low turnouts compared to national elections despite being critical to Ghana’s democratic dispensation.

It is against this background that the Commission has been scaling up public education on the importance of the election and why citizens must show keen interest in who becomes their representatives in various assemblies.

Mr. Suraka Saani, the Municipal NCCE Director, said Ghana’s democratic system relied on the active participatio
n of informed and responsible citizens and emphasised their crucial role in shaping the destinies of assemblies.

‘The leaders we elect will be the stewards of our community, making decisions that impact our daily lives, the well-being of our families, and the prosperity of our municipal/district as a whole,’ he pointed out.

He said it was imperative, therefore, that citizens approached the electoral process with a sense of responsibility and understanding.

He encouraged the personnel to take the time to attend local debates, read about candidates and their positions, and question them on issues that mattered most to them, adding that, a well-informed electorate was the bedrock of a thriving democracy.

‘I urge every one of you to exercise your right to vote.

This is not just a right but a privilege that many around the world still strive for,’ Mr Saani emphasised.

He also took participants through what to do and what to avoid as voters on Election Day to strengthen the electoral processes.
