Even our own health officials don't see the hazard of dumping bodies -- this is being done by hospitals and the medical school of all places. Go figure!

why shouldn't we call pepeni a fool as its not an insult but a fact . All these scandals ,tribal ethnic biased anti Akan ministerial appointments non action on worthy projects and action on foolishness and stupid corrupt deals. his mentor is kuffuor whose greatest achievement was to give all our gold fields to foreigners who dont invest a single penny in our economy but take out over 10 billion dollars a year . his weak ayigbe national security could not advise him to do what president putin of russia did , nationalise the mines and give it to local corrupt Akans and others , then tax them well. instead we run around trying to borrow this same money and watch as the various superpowers play with us , where is the wisdom in that ? pepeni you a big fool and chronically retarded as you have no shame, integrity , honor or decency yourself . you can only understand indecency and insults as thats what gets registered. instead of going out there to acquire technologies that will create jobs, factories and self reliance for our people you attend useless meetings that bring nothing. you have failed us like all the others before you and we look forward gloomy future because you wont step aside so those with courage knowledge and real projects based on sound macroeconomics take over. commot from there

Competent government appoints competent Head of Departments to make productive day to day operation decisions.
If the Government appoints clueless Executives, the result is unproductive. So who is to blame. If a football Coach assembles a team without strikers and good defenders, who is to blame when the team is always the losing side.
Nothing seem to work well in Ghana. Nothing! The economy, public health, US dollar rate and corruption. Ninety percent of consumer goods is imported. Nothing works. The buck stops with the President.

The buck stop at the door step of the president and should be blamed. He's got square pegs in round holes. He himself included. He's worse than his boss. If you are guilty of wrong doing you can't fine tune your appointees.

These are the bodies that Akuffo Addo would have used to start the all-die-be-die campaign, by placing them in the streets and saying they are NPP supporters. Today he is preaching peace.

You can think that these are educated people to take care of such situations properly but then they do not think at all. Strange.

An old lady is very upset as her husband Albert had just passed away. She went to the undertakers to have one last look at her dearly departed husband. The instant she saw him she starts crying.

One of the undertakers strides up to provide comfort in this somber moment. Through her tears she explains that she is upset because her dearest Albert was wearing a black suit, and it was his dying wish to be buried in a Pink suit.

The undertaker apologizes and explains that traditionally, they always put the bodies in a black suit but he'd see what he could arrange.

The next day she returned to the undertakers to have one last moment with Albert before his funeral. When the undertaker pulls back the curtain, she manages to smile through her tears as Albert is resplendent in a smart pink suit.

She says to the undertaker "Wonderful,wonderful, but where did you get that beautiful pink suit?".

"Well, yesterday afternoon after you left, a man about your husband's size was brought in & he was wearing a pink suit. His wife explained that she was very upset as he had always wanted to be buried in a black suit," the undertaker replied.
The wife smiled at the undertaker through her tears....

He continued, "After that, it was simply a matter of swapping the heads"
