CANADA IS GAY FREINDLY...DONKOMI!
It looks like Canada is garnering a reputation of being a gay-friendly country.
As reported by the Globe and Mail, that seems to be a growing consensus among Russians whose government recently imposed anti-gay laws.
Lawyer Rob Hughes, who is representing two gay Russian men claiming refugee status in Canada, says he expects more Russians to make claims based on sexual orientation.
Mr. Hughes, who focuses on sexual orientation and gender-based claims, says his two clients told him numerous people in Russia have expressed interest about seeking asylum in Canada.
The Globe quotes newly minted Immigration Minister Chris Alexander who says that these types of asylum cases "will of course be looked at very seriously by our very generous system."
In an email exchange with Yahoo! Canada News, Alexander's press secretary reiterated the minister's comments but clarified that decisions made by the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) are made without government interference.
"Canada has a fair and generous immigration system," Alexis Pavlich said.
"Refugee claims are heard by the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB).
"The IRB is a quasi-judicial, independent body, which provides a fair hearing to asylum claimants. Decisions are made based on the merits of the specific facts presented in an individual case, and in accordance with Canada’s immigration laws."

Canada has, however, been proactive in the recent past in resettling gay refugees from transitional camps abroad.
Last year the Associated Press reported that Canada relocated approximately 100 homosexual Iranians from a refugee camp in Turkey.
"Canada has indicated to the United Nations that we are ready to accept anyone, if they're a gay Iranian refugee," former immigration minister Jason Kenney told AP referencing asylum claimants in Turkey who felt threatened because of their sexual orientation.
Saghi Ghahraman of the Iranian Queer Organization told AP that Canada is a favoured destination.
"They prefer Canada over other countries, when they leave Iran, and they have very good reasons for this," she said.
"[It's a] friendly and supportive society, and with great social services which are utterly crucial for most gay, lesbian, and transsexual Iranians who need all the support when they arrive in a new country."

There was a time that the left accused the Harper Conservatives of being anti-gay: They're against 'gay marriage' and 'they don't attend pride parades' was the common refrain from supporters of the opposition parties.
Well, they've proven, once again, that's not the case.

Npp criminals, thieves, looters, nation wreckers, arsonists, murderers, lairs’ what npp are looking for is to come to power to loot the nation's resources. Npp thinks Ghanaians have soon forgotten when they were stealing gold, money, land and other state properties. Ministers saving government loans in their individual foreign accounts and keeping the interest accrued before releasing the capital to nation's coffers. In fact, the SC is really wasting time that is why these crooks think they still stand a chance. Where on earth have you seen SC removing democratically elected president and putting in a 70 years old drug baron, greedy and arrogant man as president? You have been found out and God will punish you for wasting Ghanaian tax-payers money. Npp would surely pay for their demonic and evil plans. Useless npp leaders you have become a laughing stock, you know the truth yet you are fighting it are you not ashamed of yourself? Akuffo Addo, you will never be president of this great country. Npp are so desperate that each day they pollute the airwaves and electronic media with lies and lies and these lies are propagated and boomed by their mouthpieces such as adomfm, peacefm, joyfm, ghanaweb etc. Shame on to you. You will never succeed. Thieves!

Npp stop burning markets and open your eyes you will see president Manama’s capability. Npp you know very well that Kuffour couldn’t have ruled Ghana for six months should NDC went on burning markets and demonstrating everywhere scaring investors. NPP would surely pay for their demonic and evil plans. You have been found out and God will punish you for wasting Ghanaian tax-payers money. Thieves. The BNI has stayed too long to arrest the leaders of NPP because on their platform they declared that they would throw bombs, set fires and will cause commotions across the country therefore there was no need that fire detective experts were flown into the country to do what the BNI can do best. They must begin to arrest all of the npp leaders now!

Philip A. Bannor, pbannor2@gmail.com

The Chairman of the Electoral Commission of Ghana, Dr. Kwadwo Afari-Djan, a respondent (or defendant, if you will), in the ongoing electoral petition, ( *Nana Akufo-Addo, et al. v. Mahama, et al.), *before the Supreme Court of Ghana, has made several revealing statements under oath, that require further scrutiny.

*"I am not sure of what the notion [or connotation] of Over Voting is," EC Chair, Afari-Djan:*

The EC Chair made quite a surprising statement when he said, he did not understand the notion of "*Over-Voting*". One would expect the EC Chair to either offer an explanation for over-voting, or expand on how to curtail the perennial problem of ballot stuffing in African politics. Rather, he claimed not to understand the very nature of the problem. The "classical" definition and the "technological" definition of "Over-Voting," he desperately sought to offer under oath, were nothing more than an attempt to be evasive, when a simple truth could suffice. How about, more votes in the ballot box than verified voters? Simple enough?

Checking the number of votes in the ballot box against the Voter Register has its own problems. It will not account for those who registered, but did not vote (because of travel, re-location, students at school, or those who unfortunately died between the time of registration and the election day). Furthermore, some voters were denied or simply unaware of the avenue for proxy voting, an option that allows a designated individual to vote on ones behalf.

Of the options available to detect over-voting, using the voter-register, I am afraid to hint, will allow even the dead to vote. The pink sheet, which is the primary record of voting, in-spite of its occasional imperfections, is the best available tool we have to detect over-voting.

After much court room theatrics, the EC Chair, finally admitted that, indeed over-voting did occur in the 2012 presidential election, under cross-examination by the lead petitioners' counsel, Mr. Philip Addison, when the witness was shown the "pink-sheet'" from the temporary booth of Jinpenhi, (with polling station code K030405). The total votes cast were 67, while only 21 voters were on the voter register. A case that illustrates the inherent difficulties of relying on the voter register, as stated above. This is not to assert that, the voter register for a particular polling station is completely unhelpful, but as a matter of fact, the statement of poll, (aka "pink sheet") should be the primary record of election on the voting day. After all, The EC Chair has admitted that the voter register can be quite "dynamic," or "fluid," changing as more voters are added, deleted, or re-assigned elsewhere. With that knowledge, the "pink sheets," in all fairness, should really be the reference record of voting on the election day.

*" I will allow well known figures to Vote-Without [bio-metric] verification," Afari-Djan:*

Secondly, the EC chair astonishing declaration under oath that, he would allow potential voters who were not bio-metrically verified, but well known to him, like the paramount chief, to vote, smells like allowing the old problems of multiple voting with multiple identification cards, to creep back into the current voting system, which the BVD machines were procured at a hefty price tag to avoid.

If the EC chair can allow a "well known figure" to vote without verification, the presiding officers, and presumably the polling station agents may allow "well known figures" to them, to vote without bio-metric verification. The sub-chiefs, the chief electrician, the chief driver, the chief welder, the chief nurse(s), the chief local school principal(s), the teachers, the church deacons, the local mosque imam(s), the chief trader(s), the national service student(s), the phone seller(s), at the local level are ALL well known figures to someone, who can vouch for their eligibility as voters. The comical nature of Afari-Djan's reasoning is obvious.

You see, Afari-Djan's admission of allowing "well-known figures" to vote, invariably opens a back door to ineligible, unverified voters to vote creating the problem of over-voting, to say the least. The statement may be tacit invitation for double voting, and worse, ballot malfeasance. Foreign material in the ballot box?

In any event, the chair of the EC, is not vested with the power to over-ride what is otherwise, proscribed by applicable law. If we allow the EC chair to act in such manner, any one can take tangential liberties with the law, and doom our destiny. We deserve better.

*"We did not have enough money for the election," Afari-Djan:*

A whopping Ghc 234M (approximately $125m US Dollars) was appropriated for the 2012 Parliamentary and Presidential elections in Ghana, including procurement of BVD machines. The statement was a big surprise indeed, coming from the EC Chair who requested for the stated amount, and was duly granted by parliament. Who is Afari-Djan kidding? Or who was he trying to "hood-wink". The huge sum of money he requested and approved for the conduct of the election needs to be audited, if not fully investigated, in light of the new revelation that insufficient BVD machines were procured, with several stations without BVD back-ups, causing undue delays, and voter frustrations at the polls.

Voting without verification should really be in our rear-view mirror. We need to know the truth; who the electorate voted for, to govern the affairs of the nation. Enough with the meddling of the will of the people of Ghana. A credible EC should take all steps to ensure the sanctity of the vote.

*'There were Double-Registrations," Afari-Djan:*

Next is the issue of "*Double Registration*". Several names on the voters register were entered on more than one occasion, making the overseas voter register for example, swell from 705 to 240,000. There can be very little explanation as to why such a scale of error could not be spotted prior to the election. The 'gargantuan error" only came to light, when the petitioners filed their "supreme" case. Does anyone really believe that the error of double registration would have been uncovered, had the petitioners not sought relief at the mercy of the supreme court of the land?

The lack of credibility on the part of the EC with respect to double registration, is undeniably too obvious to ignore, given the fact that the registration abroad was conducted by senior permanent members of the EC, who unlike the hired temporary election workers, are experienced in what they do. For instance, we now know that, double registration can simply occur if the electoral agent fails to edit the "picture" of a registrant. The re-take of a picture of a voter can simply create 2 new voters out of one. Whew Ghana ! Are we making progress or back-paddling? Why risk our future to a highly manipulative system?

Can Afari-Djan adequately explain the issue of double registration after spending over $125M on a new voting system? We had hoped he purchased a voting system capable of stopping multiple registrations, since multiple registrants will have same finger prints.

To add insults to injury, the EC chair was hopelessly uncertain as to what legal instrument he derived his authority to conduct foreign voters registration exercise. Additionally, the highly selective nature of the overseas voter registration, was discriminatory, as observed by the lead petitioners' counsel, Mr. Addison. Only Ghanaians serving in foreign missions, their dependents, students on government scholarships, and military personnel on international assignments were registered. Large sections of Ghanaians residing outside Ghana were excluded from the registration, and therefore the chance to exercise their constitutional right to vote.

*"Unique numbers and serial numbers*," *Afari-Djan:*

More problems with registration. Not all polling stations had BVD machines with back-up equipment to spare. In case of software or hardware failures, a unique number on the BVD machine could help match the data to the device, and the polling station. Afari-Djan admitted that each BVD had a unique number, but the EC Chair won't reference such numbers as serial numbers, even though he admitted each BVD machine could be identified by its unique number.

*A serial number is a number that is unique to a device or a document and as such could be used to identify the device or the referenced document. *

The chassis number of an automobile (or the vehicle identification number) embossed on a vehicle makes it unique to the vehicle. If two vehicles have the same VIN or chassis number, you know very well, one of the vehicles is * stolen.* Ask anyone who is an authorized car dealer from any corner of the planet earth.

Let me offer one more example. The unique numbers on any one Ghana cedi note is UNIQUE to that note. No two Ghana cedi notes of the same denomination have the same UNIQUE/SERIAL numbers. If two Ghana cedi notes have the same UNIQUE/SERIAL numbers, believe me, one is counterfeit!

*If we can catch car thieves by Unique/Serial (Chassis/VIN) numbers, and catch counterfeit money printers with unique/serial numbers, we can detect electoral fraud with unique/serial numbers on pink-sheets, ballot papers, and BVD machines.*

Friends, I offer to you that, the existence of more than one "pink sheet" with the same serial number is the "prima-facie" evidence that the election may have been "stolen," "counterfeited" or simply rigged. Since the "pink sheets" are the primary record of election, the unique numbers on them are our best chance to detect fraud. The Honorable Justices of the Supreme Court of Ghana must marshal the courage to rule accordingly.

*"I hired temporary Technical Support techs for the election," Afari-Djan: *

Mr. Afari-Djan admitted the EC trained some permanent Technicians and some temporal tech support employees to provide technical assistance for the BVD operations. Question is, to what extend were these technicians supervised? What changes to captured data could these techs, temporal or permanent, make to the Voter database(s). The answer to these questions may sound mundane to the non-tech savvy, but the bomb-shell admission by Afari-Djan, that the captured data could be removed by use of "jump-drive" or "flash-drive" is worrisome. One also needs to worry about the fact that, the BVD machines do not have centralized data base. The lack of centralized database could open avenues for the mischievous to be dubious. Can the Tech support network improve the protection of the database from manipulation?

*"I am not a registration Officer", Afari-Djan:*

Now as if the above surprises were not enough, the "venerable" EC Chair, Mr. Afari-Djan, the sole return election officer for the presidential elections, and the one person constitutionally charged to register, and to conduct ALL elections in Ghana, stated under oath that, he is not a "registration officer," and cannot answer questions about the process of registration. OMG! SSG (Oh my God, Someone save Ghana, as these text and #hash-tags would put it). The exasperating statement was Afari-Djan's anemic effort to answer (or dodge) the lead petitioner counsel, Philip Addison's cross-examination query about what Forms 1A, 1B and 1C were. The EC chair needed some prodding to answer that question.

Afari-Djan lost more than his credibility. Appearing uninformed about electoral procedures in Ghana, after stating impressive resume and "self-trumpeting" awards from notable world institutions, supposedly for conduct of elections, is self-inflicted blood-letting. Must Afari-Djan resort to such ends to secure a victory for anyone? At what point is the truth important ? At what point is the common good of Ghana more important than the entrenched partisanship on display.

Where is the statesmanship needed for the office of Chair of Electoral Commission?

Afari-Djan should come across as someone who wants to help cleanse the mess in the EC, not its cover-up. Or is the veteran electoral officer under such undue pressure from the "powers that be," that the once revered and celebrated Ghana's electoral chief, needs our help? If so, Our Lords, the Justices of the Supreme Court, and the collective will of ALL discerning Ghanaians, must be brought to bear to salvage the present predicament we find ourselves in, and to ensure the once bright future forefathers envisioned.

*"I did not personally see the pink sheets before I declared the results," Afari-Djan:*

Finally, The above statement by the EC Chair, was made before he admitted in the witness box that, he had not personally seen any of the "pink sheets," aka "statement of poll" sheets, before the declaration of the presidential election. If so, why didn't the EC Chair take his time to investigate the petitioners "alleged irregularities," (which he has now admitted indeed occurred in the 2012 presidential election), before announcing the presidential results, when the issue was first raised in the meeting with the petitioners, the respondents and the members of the PEACE Counsel on Dec 9, 2012?

The EC chair could have delayed the declaration of the results for say 48-72 hours, and critically examine the concerns of the petitioners if they had a case. He could have called for an audit of the pink sheets, and even sanction by means of annulment where credible evidence of irregularity, malpractices or violations of the electoral law or procedures had occurred.

Given the novelty of the introduction of the BVD machines, and the impact the historic election will have on the fate of the nation, Ghanaians as patient as we are, would have given him sufficient time to do his just duty.

*"The presiding officers do not have to sign the pink sheet" Afari-Djan:*

If presiding officers do not have to sign the statement of polls, then why even bother having presiding officers at all. Afari-Djan may be compromised beyond believe.

Friends, the above jaw dropping statements by the Chair of Ghana EC, may actually bolster the petitioners case before the supreme court. I believe more than statutory violations, irregularities, and trans-positional errors occurred in the 2012 presidential election in Ghana. CRIMINAL intent is quite obvious when one reads between the lines. Why? A credible EC that honors the sanctity of the ballot box, and voting as a sacred intent of the people, in my opinion, will not risk embellishing its conduct and outcome. Isn't the EC constitutionally bound to perform such a function above reproach? A properly conducted election could have spared mother Ghana the ordeal of the last six months.

Ghana has come a long way in our democratic journey. We deserve a better Electoral Commission to safeguard the sanctity of voting, and the clear will of the people. It is TIME to dissolve the EC and reconstitute a new body to conduct credible elections in Ghana. That should be part of the relief the petitioners are seeking from the Lords of the land.

AKONABA, sometimes, the truth hurts. Both Dr Nyaho and Dr Kennedy are right. In fact, I have made the same suggestion in an article I sent to Ghanaweb yesterday evening but I believe it was too late to be posted today. In any true democracy, Nana Akufo-Addo would have apologised for his all die be die statement or replaced as presidential candidate. Dr Kwabena Adjei would have resigned or sacked for his there are many ways of killing a cat stupidity and equally, Sir John would have resigned or sacked for bringing the SC into disrepute and ridicule. That is the gospel truth but Ghana anything and everything goes. Read my article tomorrow.

Dr Nyaho and Dr Kennedy are not traitors but patriots who have a better understanding of democracy and the rule of law. We need more of them in Ghana. You may not like what they say but they are right.

I disagree in toto with my very good friend Arthur K. on his unfortunate linkage of "all die be die" to violence.

"All die be die" is a metaphor that Shakespeare used in Julius Caesar. Those who did Literature in those days surely remember:

“Cowards die many times before their deaths;
The valiant never taste of death but once.
Of all the wonders that I yet have seen,
It seems to me most strange that men should fear;
Seeing that death, a necessary end,
Will come when it will come.”

In the years that students fought the PNDC junta, "all die be die" was our rallying cry even though all we had was the pen. Who can forget that day at UST when the Obuasi PDC mine workers invaded the great Unity Hall, during the NUGS conference.

They were armed and the students were not armed. Yet, the students stood their grounds and defended the Hall because "all die be die."

And because they had the conviction and the courage and the character to stand their grounds and because they knew that "all die be die," they defeated the Obuasi workers against all odds.

When Arthur K. led the students through christian village, achimota forest and GIMPA en route to Accra Central, their motto was "all die be die"; yet the students sought no violence, anticipated they would be brutalized but were not cowed by such anticipation because "all die be die."

"All die be die" is what spurred Sergeant Adjetey to defy the British. It was what armed the great Osagyefo Nkrumah to bring down the mighty British empire.

And so I must disagree with my friend and brother Arthur K.

Please do not equate Nana's "All die be die" to the Shakespearean stanza you just quoted. A man of valor never fears death knowing well it's only transitory. In the Christian teachings one goes to heaven or hell. In other religious traditions you reincarnate to face your karma.
The students in 1980s had to defy a dictatorship and used "all die be die" as a rallying cry for action. In the case of Nana his "All die be die" slogan was intended purely to incite a partisan and ethnic divide. That speech was followed by speeches by other members of Nana's entourage encouraging ethnic strife. Nana did not disavow or reprimand any of them. Many Ghanaians did not vote for him because of those divisive utterances. I garnered from your piece that you are well informed. So do not bring red herrings into the dynamics of the facts.

Very shocking statement by Arthur Kennedy. In deed Nana's comment was not directly telling anyone to cause any harm to anyone but as this envious Ata Kennedy knows, Nana was of the view that if a thief like jon mahama attacks your house either in the night or day, one must defend oneself by all possible means available to the one whose items are being stolen. In view of this, it is only a foooooooool who would think differently and thus advice that Nana should resign. For this reason, it has been made clear that Arthur Kennedy is envious of Nana and I bet he will never come close to becoming the party's flagbearer or a assume any responsible position in NPP. Arthur Kennedy is a shame to NPP. He will soon have to either resign and join the thievery party NDC or go to hell. Shame on this foooooool, arthure Kennedy.

Oh! people of the disgraced party NPP; so some of you do agree that Akufo Addo is irresponsible leader of the party? Thank God the good ones among the idiots have seen the light.

May those who are fighting for the party's redemption carry on the fight.

Even though I am not the party supporter, most NPP leadership and supporters itself need to be disciplined.

'ALL DIE BE DIE' WAS NOT AN IRRESPONSIBLE STATEMENT. DID YOU NOT SEE HOW THE 2012 ELECTIONS WERE GENERALLY VIOLENCE-FREE? THUGS WERE AFRAID TO STEAL BALLOT BOXES.

Arthur Kennedy has said it all.How can somebody who preaches violence turn around to seek the leadership of a nation which demands uniting the nation.Akuffo-Addo can never be a person who can unite the nation for any purpose.He should be regarded as a political carcass waiting to be disposed of finally by the supreme court on the 29th of August,2013.August 29th,2013 will terminate Akuffo-Addo's political ambition to rule Ghana.He should start preparing for his political oblivion which is just some few days away.

Arthur k is 100% right. Why it is that we Ghanaians don't want the truth? all - die - be - die was the cause of npp's down-fall in the last election.

Arthur K. is right. No responsible leader in anywhere of the world have ever tagged elections as all die be die affair. Akuffo Addo is simply a violent person. This is the truth that most NPP fans do not want to accept.

Nana Addo never tagged any elections as 'all die be die.' He implored some supporters to stand and fight when they are being bullied as in the case of Anita Desoso who drove over them. The human spirit is such, suppress all you want, at some point it does realise that 'all die be die' and it will fight, so kid yourself and push the NDC lie. One day the common people that NDC has hoodwinked and lying to will realise this and take their power back and it then that 'all dying be dying' take its full effect.

refuse to comment on "GYEEDA " the greatest fraud in our nation's history.
We made so much noise on GHANA@50. This is the greatest fraud ever perpetuated on the people of Ghana.
For three months now monies meant for Parsonages have not being paid, government is owing SSNIT more that two years of workers contribution, contractors have not been paid so most road projects stalled, NHIS monies collected in arrears, Capitation grant in arrears, UTAG is on strike so what is government when basic things like this are not important for people to comment on?

What is Arthur Kennedy saying? If Akuffo Addo's comments was in the past, & he's advising that they shd start punishing ppl presently, where does he want it to start from? Can't it start with Sir John, or they want to start with ppl (scape goat type) to deal with. They don't have the courage to point out wrongs in their party much more their flagbearer, and they go abt beating about the bush? In fact that is why their party is full of disrespectful arrogant and insulting people. They will always defend the wrong in their party, but will be shouting at the top of their voices for others to resign. Compare this uncouth attitudes of these kind of people as described by Justice Atugugba and that of Oko Vanderpuije, and see how they were calling for his resignation. They are incorrigible. From their leaders to the least, that's how they are. Anybody who tries to correct them is a traitor. So ppl shd leave them to their fate till they all fall into a ditch.

In as much as Nana Addo's "all-die-be die" remark was in a bad taste the context within which it was said might have been "over-massaged" by many to mean a call for war.

I think the man never meant that. But to think of Arthur K calling for Nana Addo's resignation at this point when the nation and his own party await the SC ruling is a huge stab in the back of the party he owes allegiance to. A real contradiction at its best! A clear betrayal of trust by a stalwart of the party. A house divided? Can it stand? Lets hope it does?

If really Arthur K found something wrong with the "all-die-be-die" saga, and I do myself because of the general negative signals it carries, I thought he was going to have a behind the close door reprimand if at all he deems fit or consider the possible impact this public condemnation at this time may have on the texture, the colouring and flavour of the verdict from the courtroom.

Of course the distinguished Judges can't be swayed by emotional outburst of any politician in arriving at a ruling of such a huge significance as this.

Sometimes, pragmatism pays. Just because Sir John is in trouble with his free-fall vituperations against people who by dint of sheer hard work have worked their way through to the very top of their chosen profession does not drop the equation to one.

The timing and the import wrong! Arthur K could at least share his candid views with his party. His outburst is more reckless with potential to bring down the blocks and not to cement them together for his own party.

Constructive, and not destructive, criticisms build nations and by extension build political parties.
