    CJ, IF YOU KNOW THE GUY ATUGUBA, GO AFTER HIM. HE HAD HIS BROTHER AT THE PRESIDENCY. DON'T TELL ME YOU DON'T KNOW THAT. HE IS THE CAUSE OF ALL THE TROUBLES GHANA IS GOING THROUGH NOW.

    When caught they must be sentenced to hard labour in prison to set an example that they are wrong and not above the law. If this not done, then files will keep non missing at the judiciary.
