Modernisation chinoise : les leçons de la Chine pour l’Afrique et le Burkina Faso
Comment la Chine est-elle passée, en quelques décennies seulement, du statut de pays pauvre à celui de deuxième puissance économique mondiale ? Cette question revient souvent dans les échanges entre intellectuels, étudiants et observateurs africains intéressés par l’évolution spectaculaire du géant asiatique. Au-delà des gratte-ciel, des trains à grande vitesse ou des zones industrielles modernes, la réponse réside surtout dans la logique politique et idéologique qui a accompagné la transformation du pays. À travers une réflexion présentée lors d’une conférence organisée par le Mémorial Thomas Sankara, l’auteure revient sur trois piliers de la modernisation chinoise : la sinisation du marxisme, la ligne de masse et le front uni. La sinisation du marxisme : construire un modèle adapté à ses réalités Depuis sa création il y a plus d’un siècle, le Parti communiste chinois (PCC) s’est appuyé sur le marxisme comme […]

Audit Exposes GHS427m Payroll Scandal at Defence Ministry
A shocking audit report has uncovered a massive payroll scandal involving a senior government official who allegedly received over GHS427 million in unearned salaries over 29 months. The individual at the center of the controversy, Frank Oliver Kpodo, served as Director of Procurement at the Ministry of Defence Ghana during the period under review. Millions Paid for No Work Done According to findings by the Auditor-General of Ghana, the payments were made between January 2023 and June 2025. On average, this amounts to more than GHS14 million per month—funds reportedly paid without corresponding work. The audit, which examined government payroll systems, aimed to ensure that only legitimate employees receive salaries. Instead, it exposed what appears to be a deeply flawed system. Part of a Larger Payroll Leak The report found that over 6,000 government employees collectively received more than GHS800 […]
Old Tafo MP Questions NPRA Sole Sourcing, Raises Transparency Concerns
The Member of Parliament for Old Tafo Constituency, Vincent Ekow Assafuah, has raised fresh concerns about procurement practices at the National Pensions Regulatory Authority (NPRA).

Questions Over High-Value Contracts Speaking on Dwaso Nsem on Adom FM, Assafuah pointed to several major contracts awarded through sole sourcing. These include: A consultancy deal worth GH¢4.2 million A vehicle procurement arrangement exceeding GH¢17 million and $160,000 According to him, the repeated reliance on sole sourcing for such high-value transactions raises serious concerns about due process. “Sole sourcing is meant for urgency and necessity, not convenience and favouritism,” he stated. Concerns Over Costly Consultancy Engagements The MP also questioned the need for certain consultancy services. He noted that a reported monthly cost of about GH¢175,000 could suggest duplication […]
Ransford Gyampo Defends Reparations Comments, Backs Mahama’s UN Efforts
The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Shippers Authority, Ransford Gyampo, has pushed back against criticism over his recent comments on reparations. In a Facebook post, he described the backlash as “nation-wrecking propaganda,” insisting that his remarks had been taken out of context. Comments Taken from Broader Policy Discussion According to Gyampo, the circulating statements were extracted from a wider discussion during his appearance on Key Points, a news analysis programme on TV3. He explained that the conversation examined reparations within an academic and policy framework, rather than as a standalone political statement. Reparations Must Be Matched with Internal Reforms Drawing from academic work at the University of Ghana, Gyampo noted that African development strategies have evolved through multiple phases—from import substitution policies to structural adjustment programmes and global development frameworks. Within that context, he acknowledged that the transatlantic slave […]
