#Value for money office

Ghana has a new office to stop inflated public contracts. The Legal Division of the Ministry of Finance was already assigned this job. They lacked the specialised expertise. The solution, naturally, was not to train them. The solution was a new office, fully furnished with the usual government-issue sofas that nobody is allowed to sit on. It opens in January 2027. Eight months from now. In the meantime, the birds at the Legal Division remain at their desks. Hope remains the only currency we have left. And it is the hope that we have.
