You are right sir....these people can't face the spotlight because they will be exposed to be incompetent. They were not appointed by merit or actionable experience.

It is good for the media to expose wrong doing and bring public officials to the limelight. However,unless the public know what is expected of the officials, they can not appreciate media reports that will ensue. It is therefore necessary to enact the freedom of information act. This way, the people can demand their right to information from public offices; information that official will be obliged to provide under the act.

Dear Folks,
Euphemistically put by Prof. Professor Agyemang Badu-Akosa. The effectiveness of such a watchdog, all-important function of the gentlemen & women, of the Press can ONLY be achieved when the Press/Media Practitioners are NON-PARTISAN.

It is very sad and appalling to note that many (if not all) of our Press (Media + Journalists) and Lawyers are too BIAS and PARTISAN, to the detriment of our fledgling democracy. For a start, barring the shortcomings/deficiencies, let's accept the suggestion from Prof. Agyeman-Badu Akosa and strengthen the media + lawyers to perform this function for the growth and development of the nation.

Long live Ghana and its citizenry and all who have a stake in the welfare of the country.

Anyone in public or private life who would spend a minute of their time answering questions from any media house in Ghana would be doing so because they may have nothing on their plate or looking for adventure on a liars train for an hour.
We have witnessed over the last 20 years that Ghana's media houses have been bought and sold to the NPP and NDC; it does not qualify any of them to carry the title of media house. There has not been a single news coverage or announcement or press release/conference from the government and or any media house in Ghana that has been accurate and truthful; news events border on lies, sensationalism and fabricated innuendos to soil the name of the people they hold a grudge. If and when a media house in Ghana is able to be principled and serious about investigative journalism and not yellow journalism, there will be plenty of questions for J.J. Rawlings and his phony wife, thieving Kufour, his wife and family, the late Atta Mills and his Awhoi brothers, Mahama and his officers and Akufo-Addo about his time as Ghana's AG and foreign minister with even more serious questions for the one and only Georgina Woods who is as incompetent and bribery prone as every soul that walks the street in Ghana.
Put any of Ghana's so-called intellectual elites on a question and answer session for an hour and you will find their opinions not only to be tainted by tribal and or political affiliations; majority of them cannot apply effectively the subject matter they claim to be experts on. Ghana is collapsing economically and morally because everyone in our intellectual elite club is a thief and thus see nothing wrong with the unconscionable stealing and mismanagement going on within our NPP and NDC parties; they wait in the wings for their turn to be called to engage in their own brand of shameless stealing.

PROFESSOR:

WHAT ARE THESE CONSULTANTS AND PRACTICAL CONTRIBUTION HAVE THEY GIVEN TO THE GOVERNMENT.

PURELY TRUE DEVELOPMENT PROFESSIONAL CONSULTANTS WILL NOT SEE TO ALLOW THE INFRASTRUCTURE,MOST ESPECIALLY THE GHANA RAILWAY, GHANA AIRWAYS,GHANA POST OFFICE,VALCO, BONSAH TYRE FACTORY, ABOSO GLASS FACTORY, SALTPOND CERAMIC TO BREAK DOWN IN THE COUNTRY.

PLEASE; DO NOT AGAI N MENTION THE NAMES OF THESE PEOPLE IN YOUR STAEMENT AGAIN.

THESE ARE ALL FAILED PEOPLE FOR THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF GHANA.

DO CONSULTANTS HAVE TO SIT, WAIT, WATCH AND PRAY WITHOUT THEIR EFFORTS TO BRING CHANGES,IMPROVEMENTS AND DEVELPMENT IN GHANA.

EDUCATION IS STILL MISUNDERSTOOD BY THE SO CALLED EDUCATED PEOPLE IN GHANA.
