A parliamentary vetting session for Ghana's Deputy Minister-designate for Communications, Digital Technology, and Innovation, Mohammed Adams Sukparu, has ignited widespread discussion after his response to the question 'What is coding?' was seen as inadequate by many. The incident has raised concerns about the digital literacy of public officials tasked with overseeing the country's technological advancement. The exchange has become a rallying point for calls to improve tech education and awareness among policymakers. Chiefs and local leaders are also urging improvements in telecommunication services, highlighting the broader need for digital infrastructure and expertise. The controversy underscores the importance of informed leadership in Ghana's digital transformation efforts.

Honestly, it’s pretty alarming that someone up for such an important tech role can’t give a basic answer about coding—how are we supposed to advance digital innovation with leadership that isn’t tech literate? This just proves how urgent it is to prioritize real tech education for both politicians and the public. If we want Ghana to compete globally and ensure equal access, we need leaders who actually understand the digital world, not just talk about it.
