Why Are We Flying Ghana’s Worst Land Thieves Abroad to Sell Brand Ghana?

Why are we flying Ghana’s worst land thieves abroad to sell Brand Ghana?

It makes no sense. A private sector full of exploitative crooks is a curse. No question. It is they who compromise key public servants across Ghanaian officialdom. Yet these same men sit beside the President on foreign trips, smiling for cameras while the registry burns at home.

Go to the Lands Commission’s HQ in Accra and the problem is naked. Powerful crooks change title deeds with impunity, while parading as angelic entrepreneurs who have prospered through hard work. Hard work did not build those empires. Access did. Access is just corruption wearing a suit.

They do not merely steal land; they pillage our nation. Every fake deed, every “lost” file, every boundary shifted in the dark erodes trust. And trust is the only currency that matters when you are trying to attract serious investment. No investor with sense will commit capital where the register cannot be trusted. We are selling Brand Ghana abroad while the warehouse is on fire at home.

The fix is not complicated. It is discipline. Satellite mapping of all land parcels. A digital, tamper-evident title system open to public audit. A command centre for land fraud with the power to freeze transactions and prosecute. Crooks hate light, and the Lands Commission has lived too long in darkness.

Brand Ghana cannot be two things at once. It cannot be integrity on the tarmac and impunity in the registry. Until we stop handing business-class seats to men who have looted the land register, our pitch abroad will ring hollow.

The land is still there. The question is whether it builds homes or builds dynasties for thieves. Simple. Case closed. A word to the wise...

Hmmm, Anansesemkrom Ghana paaa diy33. Tweaaaaaaaaaa...
