This mysterious couple referred to as "Shirley and Jennifer" - are they really good samaritans? Why is Mrs Lithur so agressively against them to the extent that she threatens to "arrest" deputy ministers and directors? Has she the power of arrest? There seems to be more to this matter than meets the eye. The nation looks forward to further developments.

Author:-Hon. Martin A.B.K. Amidu.

...The Government exercised the latter option when we disagreed over the judgment debt and other Gargantuan crimes. The Government, and my colleague Ministers at the time know that there was no provision for dismissal under my contract of employment as a Minister or that of any Minster.

I reserve the right as a citizen of Ghana to protect and defend my honour and integrity should this civilized challenge for the truth be ignored.

This is not the price I should be made to pay by the Government of Ghana for defending the Constitution of Ghana in the Waterville and Isofoton unconstitutional payments declared by the Supreme Court.

for sometime i have decided not to contribute, but for the purpose of this article. i am only a simple servant of my Creator. amen . i have only two points to clarify. we are serving a God of order. For what ever reason the two deputies must obey instructions. the Bible says it is better to obey than to sacrfice. simply obey instructions, come back to your boss, talk to her in cool time, the moment God, chose to visit already fallen mankind. with solid, a lovely atmosphere of deliberation, we can remove mountains. my second point is that, i remember from what i read from this medium, this woman minister's contribution to matters on homosexuality and how people came strongly against her, for being partisan. me after thirty years in europe, i dont envy any homosexual. fortunately for me, i am not one. i was born poor and my mother could have never afforded diapers what we call in geneva pampers or couches for babies. every homosexual carries diapers and i am too poor to buy a pack. my wife is already passed that age and it will be very difficult for me to know my next period of fasting. so if somebody decides to carry a self-imposed disease, while awaiting for others of old age and diseases from cursed way of living, that is his freedom and democracy. it seems these samaritans according to the names they carry might be ladies. on her back, i mean the lady minister this transaction might be carried. from every indicator, these two live together. what is happening behind close doors is their personal problem, the only thing ironical, the name they managed to slip on this child(from which right). after almost 60 years of independence, the cursed african would allow himself or herself to be sold for a token. Almighty God be our helper, 90 thousand of my gomoas were prepared to come to accra. cant my gomoas put together the transport cost, and sent it to the orphanage, for the care of this baby? if these lesbians, i must call a spade a spade or concubines who usually have no family name, are really qualified to adopt a child in ghana, all they have to do is to go through the officially laid down procedure. cheap africans and our usual cheap thinking and cheap curse, if God in his misericode or compassion should heal this woman, minus her child. an mp has come strongly against the lady minister, i have a suggestion for this mp; take this mp to asylum and cease his children from him for a fortnight. find very good samaritans to adopt his children while he is being taking care of. after 8 months of supreme count, we are expecting a general awareness of sound wake up for our nation........ what do we read....... my dear nation, we better wake up and redefine idol worship. refusing a change of mind could also be diagonised as idol worship. you allow two individuals who are not in line neither in the physical and the spiritual realms to throw a whole ministry of a republic of ghana into tantrum. it is only when God is against you that He may ridiculise a nation. anytime the spiritual model of Israel sinned against God the strife came, the contrary also received the equivocal blessings. He says we have the choice, what is our choice, country of all wisdom and goodness. amen

She is the boss so what? Trokosi Gyimii, all you fools think about is power. Exactly what JJ the fool came to teach Ghanaians about. Why should a minster cause all this trouble just to show her power? Just listen to Ewes and you can always tell how foolish they are. Tsikata, Acheampong, Nunoo Mensah, Ablakwah, Nana Oye and Ashawo-ba JJ, they only talk straight from their asses. All they talk about is power instead of simple understandable approach to problems.

If this is really the kind of english the deputy minister speaks, I think she must go back to SHS, haba!! such a disgrace.

Why is the writer of this article referring to the children in Osu home as inmates. Though inmates can also mean "persons who dwell with others in the same house" I feel that it's inappropriate and insensitive

CHILDREN IN A CHILDREN'S HOMES ARE NOT 'INMATES'. ONLY PRISONERS AND MENTALLY ILL PATIENTS ARE SO REFERRED.

CALLING THEM 'INMATES' IN THIS REPORTAGE, HOWEVER, MAY ACCIDENTALLY REFER AND SYMBOLISE THE DIRE CARE AND LIVING CONDITIONS IN THE HOME. THIS IS HINTED IN THE QUOTES:

'Interestingly, this paper was also reliably informed that the Osu Home, where Nana Oye had fought tooth and nail to get the child sent to for ‘safe keeping’, had not received its usual subvention from government for the upkeep of the inmates for the year'

'Daily Guide’s source further added that even if it did come, it was woefully inadequate to meet the needs of the growing population of children in the Home, hence the initial refusal by the caretakers of the Home to take the little girl when she was first sent there.'

“This is why it was not a bad idea for somebody to assist the facility by taking care of this only child, a child they could have secretly kept in their house without even the minister knowing or hearing anything about.”

THEREFORE, NANA OYE LITHUR MUST DOUBLE UP HER EFFORTS TO APPROPRIATELY RESOURCE THE CHILDREN'S HOME. IT IS IMMENSELY BENEFICIAL TO THE INTEREST OF CHILDREN TO BE GIVEN ALL THE NECESSARY MATERIAL, PHYSICAL AND COGNITIVE SUPPORT THEY REQUIRE TO GROW INTO ASTUTE CITIZENS.

WE MUST DE-EMPHASISE THE POLITICS AND GET TO WORK IN GHANA!

REGARDS.

Oye is right. We copy blindly. Our system (Ghanaians of all tribes) assist to look after their kinsmen. In situations were the immediate family is not in a position to look after a ward, the remaining family members are brought on board to include sending the child to a relative for caring. Did the dept. go through the Ghanaian system of caring before handing over the child to that couple? If not, the dept. failed. It is the wrong application of cultural systems that has resulted in having countless children on the street. We need to correct it now. It saddens me to see such children on the street and officialdom is liable.

The problem in Ghana is indiscipline and disrespect to authority, rules and procedures. The Deputy Minister is indiscipline and should be sacked from her post. She is one of the enemies of Ghana and a nation wrecker. Another evil here is the canker of the skewed journalism in favour of evil for selfish interest. Sincerely, we need brave Ministers and appointee like Nana Oye Lither in Ghana to enforce discipline into the system. We cannot succeed as a nation when, we are indiscipline and lack patriotism. If we as Ghanaians have to grow, then the need to punish appointees who refuse to take orders is paramount. This is why the Presidency and Naa Oye Lither must set the precedent for all others to follow. The Deputy Minister and allies must go now.We cannot continue to spare he rod. So, stop this destructive journalism and propagate the principles of patriotism and robust principles of nation building. Honestly, if the Presidency, all Ministers, Government Appointees including Senior Officials in Organization or Institutions will check their subordinate in the manner done by Naa Oye Lither, then Ghana will be a model in Africa. Naa Oye, Good Job. Keep it Up. Cheers!

How can a child be given to "good Samaritans" without proper documentation? The right thing must be done.
