Chairman of the National Development Planning Commission (NDPC), Nii Moi Thompson, has delivered a wide-ranging and hard-hitting assessment of Ghana's development challenges in a detailed interview on Face to Face with Umaru Sanda Amadu.
Across the conversation, he addressed Ghana's repeated reliance on the IMF, weak institutional enforcement, illegal developments, corruption in land administration, urban flooding, and the failure of long-term planning.
He said Ghana's recurring floods and urban disasters are not natural surprises but the result of long-term policy failures, poor enforcement of planning laws, and encroachment on waterways and wetlands.
According to him, officials who enable illegal construction should be held accountable, arguing that enforcement must go beyond demolitions to include prosecution of responsible public officers.
Dr. Thompson also highlighted systemic corruption within local government structures, describing how complaints about illegal land use are often ignored or even compromised by officials.
He stressed that Ghana's biggest development challenge is not just private sector weakness, but fundamentally weak institutions that fail to enforce laws and implement long-term national plans.
On the economy, he explained that Ghana's large informal sector, low productivity, and weak tax base continue to push the country into repeated IMF programmes.
