You are very right and keenly observant. Ask again! We have heard of litigants paying private visits to judges handling their cases just to influence the outcome of the court cases. What about that?

Even a Fool can see OUR COUNTRY is SICK but nobody is WISE enough and BRAVE enough to administer THE CURE!!! All the leaders are BANZA, Stomach POLITICIANS!! They REAP where they DON'T sow. The Results? INDISCIPLINE, CORRUPTION EVERYWHERE from THE HEAD TO THE TOE! From PARLIAMENT to the TOILET attendant!! Even though I don't get the CHANCE to take BRIBE I am compelled to GIVE BRIBE or I don't get the service I need. IT is the same at the HOSPITALs, Go to the KOTOKA AIRPORT it is happening in BROAD DAY LIGHT! The POLICE, JUDICIAL, Everybody is AT IT!

Conclusion: So Why bother? Lets not WASTE our Breadth. JUST LEGALIZE CORRUPTION!! WE ARE ALL DAMN CORRUPT!

She is right by affirming to the fact that corruption is not only found in high places and even went in further to pinpoint areas where and how corruption is practiced. But why couldn't she tell us exactly how corruption is perceived within the judicial service so we all can understand? But it is all good to have people stand up to campaign against this canker although they may not be an exception. This is because even though one would not get the opportunity to take bribe from others, he is certainly compelled to give bribe in order to get the services he/she so desire. I also agree with her on the grounds that without good leadership, things will be disorganized and ultimately demoralize the citizens of a community or nation. We need strong and committed leaders with integrity to engineer the affairs of the nation. Ghana is in a deep shit right now and before we can move forward and prosper, we will need God-fearing people to handle the nation.

Pause and reflect on what influence your decision on who you vote for. If your decision is influenced by the APPEARANCE of a candidate and not his/her COMPETENCE, you are a FOOLISH VOTER. If you are someone who is fond of exchanging your VOTE for a GIFT, you are a FOOLISH VOTER. If you don't care about who you vote for, all that matters is that he belongs to the party you like, you are also a FOOLISH VOTER. Finally, if your vote is influence by TRIBAL AFFILIATION, you are a VERY FOOLISH VOTER. Remember, your action affects all of us. THINK BEFORE YOU VOTE.

We definitely need a crusade on educating Ghanaians about voting. The only way Ghana can turn around again is for us voters to vote wisely. If we do so it will discourage what we see currently;
1. Competition for character assasination
2. Competition for insults
3. Lies/Propaganda(Why should a party have a position like Propaganda Secretary). And it's also the reason why we have so many communicators.
4. Deception - Government in power having vote buying projects
5. Influencing voters with money and gifts

The above have become what a party needs to be very good at to win power in Ghana and when you listen to the air waves and read the news papers that is what our journalist are also encouraging. If we want our nation Ghana to develop we voters must begin to punish parties or politicians who depend on the above to win power.

Like my brother the Close Observe said any one who is influnced by the above rather than, a hard working incorruptible and visionary leader, then that voter is indeed a foolish voter.

Oh yes, come election time a truckload of bicycles is sent to the north for distribution, cell phones are handed out, mats, hoes , cutlass, wellington boots,flashlights you name it are handed out to buy votes. When you take that, you just sold your vote. That MP will have to recuperate the money spent on all the free( expensive) gifts. So don't complain when the school or the road is not built. He diverted the funds 10x over to pay for the gift you received.Voters are not thinking beyond the gift. In this way, we are all 419 nined by the Representative. Are voters being analytical, you be the judge.

Being African has nothing to do with the spate of corruption in our nations. It's the nature of all men to be influenced by corruption but it can be brought under control if there are stiffer penalties against those convicted of corruption. We're corrupt because we want to be corrupt and go ahead to create the fertile environment for its sustainability.Although the self-indulgence endemic in corruption is national in character there're a marginal few who have not yet been tainted with the vice. Why? Because they have a strong moral character which is fiercely resistant to corruption no matter the enticement or temptation. There isn't a natural inclination to be corrupt as Ghanaians or Africans but we have adopted corruption as an accepted norm. There are no disincentives and deterrents for corruption as we appear to have gotten it institutionalized and glorify instead of shaming it. Although very destructive we gloss over its effects. It's viewed as a booming industry but we can wage a relentless war against it and reduce it to the barest minimum with a very determined leadership as it's done in other countries. We can put the brakes on corruption with inspired leadership. When the head moves the rest of the body follows as it's said among others elsewhere.

You did poor comparison. Those you are commending for good leadership extorted money from the poor ignorant to build a lavish lifestyles for themselves. Built colleges using money from the poor but none of the children of the poor can afford the tuition to those schools. They live in mansions but the church members still wallow in poverty. What kind of leadership is that? Using God's name to exploit the poor vulnerable population.

All that you are saying falls back to denial of justice in the country. Somebody steals a chicken and the person is jailed. A politician steals millions from the public is pardoned. Why can't you educate the public about their legal and constitutional rights on how to remove corrupt and hopeless leaders from power. How could a country just copy verbatim a Keyan constitution and imposed it on its citizens. Hopeless articles, which the public does not understand and do not even know they exist. You hammering in the truth, but it's time to for you to champion the issue by rallying the people. embark on public crusade and bring out the filth in the judiciary system. You sat on your seat to witness an election results been manipulated, hence what we are witnessing now. Regardless of which party that may be in power there is the need for your the judiciary to speak out. Lawyers and judges in private practice do not pay taxes. The evasion of taxes is a serious corruption. Ghanaian system of government is rotten. Be at the forefront to champion for positive growth. Yes, we can cite few churches contributing, but many are taking advantage of unsuspected public and extorting money from them. Bring out these people and prosecute them. Politicians are sending their families for education and medical treatment overseas while the rest of the country languishes in abject poverty.

The JSS and SSS systems are hopeless. Well, it's simple: if you put crabs in your soup and the soup is cooked you only have crabs. This hopeless education MUST be ended. Why are public officials sending their children to overseas fro education. Rawlings and his henchmen sent their children to England, Ireland etc for education and handed down useless education to Ghanaians and Ghanaians just swallowed it. They go to the same places for health treatment. These are the issues!! There is simmering anger and if not well checked will erupt into a big political volcano!!

If SO-CALLED JUSTICE ATUGUBA and other JUSTICES of the SUPREME COURT of GHANA can take only five minutes to dismiss a constitutional issue, COULD YOU NOT HAVE DESCRIBED IT AS CORRUPTION?

It seems, Gertrude: you were scared of treading on dangerous grounds simply because you belong to them.

I enjoyed every bit of your lecture as reported but you failed honourably to discuss corruption in the judiciary.
If nine justices of the nation's supreme court can dismiss a constitutional matter within five minutes, what confidence do you expect the people of Ghana to have in the system?

I believe you have seen the light at the end of the tunnel.

You must go back to think about it seriously and warn more importantly ATUGUBA and the other EIGHT JUSTICES who sat on the case for EIGHT MONTHS without doing justice to the nation and the constitution.

The Bank of Ghana (BOG) has no Eastern Regional headoffice. The BOG must ask for land from the King of Akyem (Okyehene) to construct this building. I don´t believe that the BOG has accurate data on the economic activity in the at least 12 Akyem districts which make up more than half the population on the region. The GDP and GNI of these Akyem districts are very high. They stem from:

Gold mining
Diamond mining
Cocoa
Oil Palm (the largest in West Africa)
Timber
Software development
etc

The money supply and capital in the at least 12 Akyem districts are wholly inadequate. BOG must remove impediments to the setting up of rural banks in these districts and encourage ADB and GCB to open branches in these districts.

The government must further ensure that wholly owned Ghanaian banks, including rural banks, get at least 80% of the banking revenue.

Justice Gertrude, the foremost qualities of a visionsry good leader is "Truth", and the way you speak and project yourself makes me think you are a good judge. And you are right, Ghana has been hijacked by rogues for so long, that a country so endowed with riches is engulfed in abject poverty while a few become millionaires overnight by looting state coffers for thier selfish and greedy motives. THis is a seed that was planted By J J Rawlings as he murdered his way to the top. The party he formed, The NDC is bankrupting the nation left,right and center as party members race to become millionaires before their terms expire. Yes you speak the truth , however, point out the root causes for this madness, and lay the blame squarely in RAwlingses bossom. He came and promied "accountability and probity" as he murdered his way to the top and held Ghana hostage for 19 brutal years.Now look at what he left behind, a band of thieves from his NDC party who have run the country to the ground and bankrupt the nation and the people in the mantra and schematic "create ,loot and share".

Well spoken Madam. Oh how I wish you establied a Transformational Leadership Training Centre and begin coaching a new breed of Ghanaian and African leaders.

I love the dimensions if corruption that you provided. This is excellent. Why should there be extra classes - for what if not naked form of corruption. In my time of schooling, there were no extra classes, and students passed and passed well. Thank you for making it clear that all teachers charging fees for extra classes are in serious business of full time corruption.

Keep the spirit of exemplary leader burning in you.
God bless Ghana with many leaders of your type. I wish I could have your contact telephone number.
