A former Deputy Upper West Regional Minister, Abu Kansangbata, has called for proper coordination and integration in the implementation of the government's AI Publican initiative to avoid duplication and ensure value for money.

In a Facebook post shared on his official page on Friday, May 15, 2026, Kansangbata urged authorities to align the new initiative with already existing systems and structures to improve efficiency and maximise results.

"The AI Publican initiative introduced by the Government of Ghana in collaboration with STL-Amandi should strive to syndicated with the existing structures to avoid duplication and ensure value for money," he wrote.

His comments come on the heels of growing public discussions about government-led digital transformation projects and efforts aimed at improving revenue mobilisation and economic management.

Kansangbata also expressed hope that the initiative would not face challenges similar to those experienced by SLM Ghana while commending ongoing efforts to modernise revenue collection systems in the country.
"I hope and pray that this noble policy will not experience the same challenges associated with SLM Ghana," he stated


"At the same time, I commend the efforts being made to transform and increase
revenue mobilisation in the country," he added.

Beyond the policy concerns, the former deputy minister used the post to reflect on Ghana's broader economic direction, arguing that the country has the resources and human capital needed to reduce dependence on foreign financial support.

According to him, effective leadership and prudent management of national resources could help Ghana build a stronger and more self-reliant economy.

"With the right leadership, Ghana can stand on its own feet without excessive borrowing from the IMF and World Bank. Ghana has the potential, resources, and human capital to build a strong and self-reliant economy for the benefit of future generations," he added.
