Anyone who thinks that MPs should be protected should consider himself on admission at Pantang Mental Hospital. A sane person will never make such a suggestion. If they are provided with security, will they think of security for the rest of us? NO! The correct thing is for our leaders to make Ghana peaceful for all of us. That is the only guarantee of peace for MPs, not high walls, electric fences etc.

Besides if an MP chases people's wives and girlfriends they will feel the wrath of people.

His first reason is understandable but the latter sound stupid. The ministers receive protection so how can that be different from the MPs? If we are making decisions based on the most important and the financial aspects, then that makes sense, the question is not how the MPs should be protected.

It was JJ their founder who started the practice for over 30years of hyped up hate , insults and baseless accusations camouflaged by propaganda lies. Today in the media ndc after being battered on the ropes for so long, is now totally knocked out in an unconscious coma.Today 9 out of 10 Ghanaians will publicly declare themselves against the corrupt NDC but we know many still harbor a secret affiliation as tribalism/hegemony will not allow them to give up the war against the Akans.After this media blitzkrieg what is needed is for the NPP ,NDP, CPP and PPP to organize the final blows by mounting a proper grassroots house to house campaign in every constituency to ensure ndc doesn't even get 1 % of the vote and to get the true feedback of what the people really need. Say something we dont know , ndc is going and we will never allow them to come back.Now even the ndc are privately campaigning for npp in the hope that we Akans do not take over. In their minds they think that NPP is better than the Akan freedom movement and as a compromise will rather settle for that but little do they know after we boot out ndc we shall also boot out NPP because they want Ghana with these pepeni/ayigbe retrogressive tribes. At independence the Ewes and Northerners opted to join Ghana but they did not ask if we opted to accept them , we dont. Kuffuor has betrayed the NPP as this is evident since we noticed in many things including fund raising in Kumasi that none of the businessmen affiliated with him contributed a single cedi to support the party but continue to connive and scheme with ndc traitors to sabotage. We now have another discriminatory situation in our register whereby JJ's daughter, Togolese ,Ivorian s ,Nigerians and Burkina are welcome to vote but our own over ten million strong Akan diaspora dual citizens are denied this right because pepeni/ayigbe criminals must rule at all costs. Their fake ass constitution says we are all equal but we have a privileged caste of northerners who have the right for free education at our expense and all juicy govt appointments including presidency yet no lawyer has brought this before the courts because they judiciary is corrupt to the core. No country , not Israel , not Germany , Not Japan or any other has succeeded in developing by excluding their diaspora as 99% of all future investment will come from them or facilitated through them. The hate of these pepeni/ayigbe mafia is so great its turned them into idiotic stupid fools who dig their own graves before shooting themselves in the head. We saw recently one truck load of bullets worth over 20 million on the black market being imported by these pepeni/ayigbe criminals in the hope that they can cause chaos and plunge this country into war as many more have passed through the porous borders.Am looking forward to the time the first bullet will be fired as that will mean the end of the 4th constitution and will annul all amnesty given to JJ and others so we can persecute them for murder , corruption and crimes against the people. Once we thought we may need to mobilize about 10% of our people but since their security forces and army are so unprofessional and useless we will need less than 1% with 5000 highly motivated to defend ourselves. Yes they have hundreds of millions of stolen loot so they can waste our money on this mischief of oppression and war but we are ready. Ghana belongs to the Akans and they give our country the name of a failed state proclaiming it good and i wonder why the Europeans dont call Italy the roman empire or the USA the Mayan state.Very soon we shall be free with a country without these pepeni/ayigbe good for nothing devils.They now prefer NPP because they fear the alternative our free Akan movement that grows bigger and stronger every day. Since it doesn't matter how the people vote but who counts the vote we shall make sure we encourage all learned people to register themselves as polling agents and we shall see if ndc will get even 3 votes after we finish. yes this year we boot them out never to come back again.The should start packing so they leave in peace or suffer the consequences.

I am sorry for you and do not blame either becos you did not get good parents to bring up. If you did, you will know that insulting an elderly person as Nana Addo is an insult to your own father"s penis.

Inasmuch as the state is responsible for making sure that security of its citizens are paramount and should put up all arrangemens to make sure ghana is a safe haven,it is equally a personal responsible that each and everyone ensure his or her personal security.by virtue of your standing in the society,one shd be able to have his own security arrangements to deal with any contingency.the state cannot provide security for all mps for obvious reasons. these legislators should have their personal security at heart and as such shd hire the services of these private security companies to provide security at their residence. they are paid a lot of monies. may his soul rest in peace

Well, resources are lacking but we were able to spend millions "branding" buses instead of spending same on acquiring more buses? It's not about resource availability, it is about PRIORITIES.

Any idiotic entity will just get up and say he/she is a security expert. This Sowatey must produce his certificate to ascertain whether he qualified for such credentials .

Why MPS are looking police protection? These MPS use the position to do indulge in negatives things and when the rewards bounce to them, then they ask for police protection. No police protection for MPS. IF vice-chancelor of our universities do have police protection, how mp can get police protection? The protection they have is to be HONEST to the ghanaians. They can do this by putting an end to: corruption, chansing young girls, stealing from the state, expensive travelling fares etc. How late Adu went his girl friend room whilst der were 2 guys taking picture of what is happing in de bed room? wher were his(ADU)WIFE? IF YOU ARE MP, IT DOES MEANS THAT TAKE PEOPLEV GIRL FRIENDS AN WIVES. IF MPS DONT STOP CHANSING PEOPLE GIRL FRIENDS AND WIVES, PEOPLE WILL CONTINUE TO KILL THEM LIKE DOGS.

You mean Ghana cannot afford 275 police men to protect MPs? You must be kidding! In any case, why not recruit more people into the police service?

I totally disagree with Mr. Sowatey using cost as the reason to deny Mps police protection.It is far more expensive organising one bye election than providing security for fifty mps besides the stress the nation goes through
