    This Brazilian company is seeking a contract from GH. Brazilian companies are notorious for paying backhanders to politicians for contracts. Many have been convicted including politicians. Mahama govt + Brazil comp = looting

    Why Brazil? There has been prison overcrowding riots over the past couple of years over there. If anything at all Canada , Britain , Germany etc are there, why Brazil ?

  • Dogg 8 years ago

    Brazil has the same climate and weather like Ghana. We cannot afford to build and operate our prisons like how they do it in USA, Canada or UK.

    So in this country we criticise everything? You have all sorts of semi illiterates on this forum spewing rubbish. Prisoners are human beings and must live in dignity. Everything we bring our useless politics in

  • Frank Agyena-Karikari 8 years ago

    What is at stake is not one of prisoners living in dignity. It is about the relevance of a whole minister going to observe the architecture and system of Brazillian prisons. Don't we have architects who are Ghanaians to do th ...
