    We need this more. If you fucking practice tribalism and fill every job opening with you kits and kin then we will have to balance the scale by sending more of your people home. It is as simple as that.

    Since they are looking for people to try this l want to advice them that we have more regions that are more in population and larger than Volta region so let them just get to them.

  • Uncle 8 years ago

    Every sample is taken on smaller portions. Trials must be conducted on margins not the whole. That is why it was wrong for NDC to pilot the capitation in the Ashanti Region, Ghana's most populous region. There is must influx ...

    Ghana has no any health minister, if it does she or he should be shown the exit way. She or he might have a paper meaning certificate but the most important thing common sense is not there and should leave the post.

    The trial should be done on doctors in Ghana or the minister of state since they are also Ghanaians and not some people in Hohoe and its environs.
