Please focus on policy and issues that will lead to tangible change. This is a personal employment matter and really not your domain.

I thouhgt this gentleman was arrested in connection with the acquisation of a passport issued in Ghana by the ex-con Eric Amoateng. Why the sudden twist as put here by Franklin Cudzoe?

I was equally confused about what this so called think thank was saying because I know he was being investigated about the issuance of passport to the ex-convict Amoateng. Why, is Franklin now trying to move the goal post for things to look like the man is being intimidated? Franklin, learn to be neutral in all your comments and be nationalistic but not political.

Oh Franklin Cudjoe again; this man does not know when to clamp up. He barges into issues at the least opportunity. So, there he goes mouthing off about a canned public servant.

The government has every right under the sun to terminate the services of a civil servant if it finds him/her wanting..and in the case of the dismissed Director of Passports, he was deemed unfit for the job for a variety of reasons.

To describe the methods being used by the government to investigate Odoi as tantamount to Police State ideology is absurd....in the western world of which Kodjoe is immensely familiar with, state security apparati are used to investigate misdeeds by civilians.

Get a grip on reality, Mr. Imani

Are IMANI leaders intellectuals at all? Why do they behave as if they are Standard Four pupils? What is the expertise of IMANI that they can only criticize everything that comes out from the government? Are they experts of every discipline in the world? Or do they think all Ghanaians are fools like their followers? Are they not ashamed to realise that people from around the globe also read from Ghanaweb that they present their stupidity all the time. Why are they advocating for somebody who has been fired by his employer? There are a lot of questions that useless IMANI must answer but I rest my case here because I and many others see them as just a political propaganda wing of a particular party.

2016 elections on my mind with the booklets flying and running wild all over the place, with Gen. Mosquito bussing them around heartily, not so?

I side with you, Franklin. Why twist the issue? You said he might have facilitated a fake passport for a drug convict and all of a sudden you reemerge with a different story. This is tantamount to witch hunting.

Keep it up, hopefully your ranks will grow and an objective and nation-building group will emerge to hold any government which doesn't have the nation's development as it's priority. For the naysayers, it may seem you are putting a finger in a burst dam, don't give up, hopefully more education will help remove the wool over their eyes. Damned the torpedoes, Cudjoe.

Mr Cudjoe must be aware that the performance of government is not measured through his IMANI. The fact that IMANI has international accreditation, it cannot used as institutions like Forbes or Bloomberg where business news are measured. IMANI or whoever can't give government ultimatum to implement decisions. IMANI should have seen looked at how officials and departments work and give recommendation rather than wait until the worst thing happens.

These fools are calling themselves what- intellectuals or is it think thankers? They only hook unto the internet and do cut and copy and present them as policies, instead of carrying effective PRIMARY research as done by other credible institutions elswhere.

Hahaha, this stupid man thinks today's Ghana is the same as yesterday
or what? He thinks he can continue to use his SO-CALLED think thank to engage in passport and visa frauds again under Mahama's Goverment. Mahama is a steady-sured person who doesn't rush to take decisions. So some of you who take this to be his weakness or joking. He is coming to you the IMANI so soon. They are aware of all the deals you have been engaging in.

Who is he commanding to reinstate who?
If he has balls why not reinstate the passport director himself.

Fools hiding behind intellectualism to spew rubbish by courtesy of democracy. Who would have been YOU Frank Codjoe to even pass a comment if it were to Rawlings time.

It is obvious that because Mr Cudjoe is pleading for the man's reinstatement, Government will shiver and comply, immediately. This is referred to as over-bloated arrogance.

This baboon called Franklin Cudjoe, likes the sound of his own voice. It is why he's on the air constantly despite his low brow intelligence. This is just another one of his screeches while flinging faeces moment. Is there a zoo in Ghana where he can be kept with his troop of baboons?
