Honestly, it’s pretty concerning that someone up for such an important digital role seems shaky on basic tech stuff like coding. If we’re serious about digital transformation and bridging the urban-rural divide, we need leaders who actually *get* the technology—not just the politics around it. That said, I do appreciate that Sukparu is prioritizing rural connectivity, because everyone deserves equal access to information and opportunity, not just people in the cities. The digital gap in Ghana is a social justice issue, and expanding telephony in rural areas is a good step. Still, I hope he’s open to learning from grassroots tech advocates and actually listens to what communities need, instead of just pushing top-down initiatives. It’s also important that he’s emphasizing teamwork, but real progress comes from empowering younger, tech-savvy voices and not just maintaining the status quo. Ultimately, we need leaders who combine technical know-how with a progressive vision for inclusion and equity—anything less just isn’t good enough.
