Nobody can hide the light and true destiny of the great nation of Akan. they use all kinds of schemes and tricks to undermine or deny a proper standard to us but we shall never surrender. we shall change and adapt as like the Israelis we are the chosen people of God and he in his great design has made us diverse but unified in spirit. the ashantis like the tribe of Judah are and will remain an integral part of our being to to attack any one part we all end up feeling it sooner or later. they have succeed in turning some of our chiefs and kings against us and work for their evil ungodly agenda but we still see clearly . God has brought us into the 21st century and with that a new system of governance and state of mind based on democracy since it is HE alone who blesses the individuals with the gift of leadership wisdom and justice irrespective of status at birth. he has shown us the blue print of the way forward in the bible and other holy books and the time has come to free ourselves from this man made bondage called Ghana. just as in the Ukraine we must fight so the truth will come out , fear not the battle as they will crumble like the walls of Jericho . cast away our so called fake leaders and politicians who are nothing but cowards and like our enemies fear even their own shadows . yes God has put a million fears in their empty bodies as he who does not fear the Lord , the Lord will ensure all fears of the world will reside in him. They threaten us with superstition , juju and what have you and we say fuck you and go to hell as the divine power is with us . Yes all the tribes of Akan are fingers on the same hands and God has ordained we remain united so our strength and light will be visible throughout the whole world and universe , our time has come . everyday its becoming clearer and clearer to all children of Akan that we must prepare mentally for a battle of freedom . they come with tricks that say we must take a non Akan as our leader because its nice ? do they not think that out of 30 million Akans we can not find sensible down to earth leaders and warriors to lead our own people to our own destiny? a govt of the people and by the people is what the 21st century democracy is all about . let them continue to play with the consensus and other figures that justify their fantasy and enable them to marginalize the participation of the Akan majority in the Affairs of their own land , to marginalize us thus preventing us to afford a better standard for our people . The had of God has given them pestilence after pestilence but they refuse to let our people go , soon they will be swept away like chaff in the hurricane of fury . Long live the republic of Akan and don't you forget it as now the Fanti speakers, Twi speakers, Ashantis and other tribes of Akan are now one .

And this woman taught in Unioversity?Did she allow students to proceed when they refused to take exams because they could not put their facts together for a year? Shame.

Zoobie-Zoobie, the questions as reported were relevant and I am shocked it has taken the Ministry that long to come out with answers. For your information, I used to draft responses to Ministerial and Parliamentary questions which were referred to a group of public organisations, one of which I worked for and Chaired a Network Group of all the organisations. Some of the questions were how much the organisation/s was/were spending in an MP's constituency or a specific place or area in the constituency or how much was being spent on specific ethnic groups in an area, in the England, a region, a county or a constituency. Sometimes, I had one week to send my daft response with any relevant narratives to the minister or Secretary of State for the relevant department. Luckily for me the organisation/s had data base of all activities and all I did was to request the relevant teams and organisations to get the data for me. I then analysed them and prepared a report for ministers, including information that could assist in answering any potential questions on the subject.

In addition to that, I also produced quarterly performance reports on behalf of the organisations for ministers. This reports must be ready two weeks before ministers had their quarterly meetings with Board Chairmen and Chief Executives of the organisations.

I would have lost my job if I had failed to produce any of the reports without good reason/s

The problem in Ghana is that data keeping is very poor and that is why the minister has been unable to get the facts to report to Parliament.

The fact is that Ghana's Parliament is weak, so the Executive can treat Parliament with contempt and nothing will happen to ministers. Parliament must assert its authority and sanction ministers who fail to appear before Parliament to answer questions by not approving their annual budget.

You made your case without insults like many respondents. Thank you!!!You sound very informed. That said,I still do not see why # of chairs and tables in one village should take priority over more pressing issues? Do we need a 3-year SSS vs. 4-year SSS? What do we do about the high failure rate among JSS students? Only 20% of the medical students are passing their exams? Ghana is the only country on the Globe with an ASSOCIATION OF UNEMPLOYED GRADUATES, ONE BUILDING UNIVERSITIES, accreditation problems, curriculum problems.... it is a mess and no one is asking the critical questions. The woman is overwhelmed.

Because our Parliament is a house of robber stamping anything the Executive sends in,nobody respect the house.
These NDC Ministers are showing Ghanaians zero respect,by refusing to appear in Parliament,it means they refuse to face the people,after all no matter how weak our Parliament is they are still the people`s representatives.
But this is no wonder coming from the NDC,from President to DCE`s all they do are insulting Ghanaians,from "short memories",to "are you my equal"

The standoff between ministers and parliament emanates from certain provisions in the 1992 constitution.

The ministers work for an executive branch of government that has virtual control over national expenditure decision-making. Parliament does not control the fiscal purse of the nation; the EXECUTIVE does.

If MPs want to be taken seriously, they first must learn to take their responsibilities as MPs seriously. Charity, it is said, begins at home.

Certainly if you were the minister you will abscond, because she had no clue how to answers questions relating to eradication of schools under tress and the proposed free education by his boss(dreamer).
