Anyone who watched PM Express last night would know that the starting point of the disagreement between Bright and Wing Commander Sogbojor was the commander’s stance against policy analysis, which requires triangulation of multiple lines of evidence or information. He believed his experience as a pilot was paramount and should dominate the conversation. He essentially dismissed Bright’s position as “theory” and even questioned the need for a forensic expert on the show.
But this is clearly a multidisciplinary issue. If you are trying to conduct a proper root cause analysis, you must first establish what the ideal situation should be, then compare it to the reality to understand why the ideal was not achieved. Bright was attempting to set that ideal framework, but Wing Commander felt it was unnecessary.
It appears the Wing Commander was unhappy that Bright had earlier made a post correcting his claim that the Z-9 planes were donated to Ghana by China. That seemed to influence the tone and direction of the discussion. Otherwise, Bright’s broader policy perspective and the Wing Commander’s piloting experience could have complemented each other to enrich the public discourse. Shoutouts to Col. Aboagye for the great work!
P.S. I find positions such as “let the experts talk” or “pretending to be all-knowing” lazy. Offer more comprehensive arguments than that.

The Genser-GNPC deal should concern you.
You will eventually pay a higher price for electricity because of the lower-than-cost price paid by Genser for gas.

Hi @elonmusk I wonder if you’ve thought of cladding the whole OLM with heat shield cladding as you’ve done with starship. That should both test the heat shields often and protect the OLM from the worlds biggest blow torch.
Really sad to realise that in a space of 8 years they’ve blown up the whole financial sector including confidence in government securities!! Something we took 60 years to build.

Oxfam says Ghana's IMF engagement in 2015 was one of the most open in the world, with strong engagement by CSOs pushing a public interest agenda. As a CSO actor, I agree. I also find that the current IMF process is the opposite: with zero govt interest in openness & engagement.

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings
Many fears are born of fatigue & loneliness
be gentle with yourself.

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.

Madina foot bridges are an example of atrocious design!!!
There are many places they could put a simple staircase but they rather built long annoying ramps as if to punish users, no wonder people refuse to use them

Sir, history will mark your bold action as a major start for real accountability in Ghana.
