Ah well.
When the citizens wake up, that day will be a day of revolution.
1. The state pays police officers.
2. Police officers incur huge expenses for the state to operate.
3. The state bears the primary responsibility for enforcing criminal laws.
Yet the state willingly gives a third party 40% of the total fines it receives, even though it bears the major costs of road construction, road traffic enforcement, maintaining a police force, and running a court system to handle cases where fines are challenged.
Why not pay for the software and set up the human resource base to run it?
But if it is done that way, how else can the politician's financier milk the state?
Somehow, citizens are defending this.
I genuinely didn't see this coming! ๐ณ
As someone who advocates for technology and public policies that improve lives, this Traffitech-GH revelation has changed how I look at the initiative.
Ghana's Ministry of Finance reports that 40% of traffic fine revenue is earmarked for a private company, Nationwide Traffic Management and Enforcement Ltd (NTMEL), while the government receives 60%.
And who owns NTMEL?
โข Frank Osei, Ghanaian entrepreneur: 60%
โข Sensys Gatso, Swedish traffic technology company: 40%. The contract runs for 11 years, from December 2022 to December 2033, with an estimated project investment of GHยข77.73 million.
I've always supported technology that makes our roads safer. But this raises serious questions for me.
If a private operator earns more when motorists commit more offences, how do we ensure road safety remains the priority, not revenue generation?
What happens to poorly marked roads, missing speed-limit signs and unclear school zones?
I'm not against Traffitech. I'm questioning the incentives behind its implementation.
Are we building a safer road network or a revenue-generating enforcement system?
Ghanaians deserve transparency on this arrangement.

The people I loved taught me that my sacrifices and thoughtfulness meant nothing. So pardon me if Iโve changed.
The best way to find a place to rent is to just walk around asking for a place to rent in that vicinity

God has been good to me. No matter what I go through, I always come out on top. This year has been an interesting one. A rollercoaster of emotions. And still I give thanks
We cannot be serious in this country

One of the saddest things about Ghana is how weโve convinced ourselves that suffering builds character. A young person spends years looking for employment, finally gets a job that barely pays enough to survive, spends hours in traffic and comes home exhausted and someone tells them to be grateful because others have it worse.
Why must somebody elseโs suffering be the standard by which we measure our happiness? When did wanting a decent life become asking for too much?
