  • LISTEN TO WISDOM,PLEASE - ghanawatch 1 month ago

    You are an idiot. A typical fool who fails to analyse issues and come to objective conclusions. When a knowledgeable person who deal with people blighted by drugs is speaking keep quite and listen.

    While the director may be right, but the truth is his solution is currently untenable in our realities in Ghana. Even people who's ailments aren't self inflicted have difficulties getting treatments, let alone those who volun ...

    I agree with the doctor.
    There should be better ways to handle such cases instead of the 'Rambo Style '. Most of such minor crimes should be given community jobs to do instead of filling our prisons.

  • Poor Africa must think again 1 month ago

    But the police are doing their part. What he is saying is his part that is failing. Why do you blame the police for failing to do what you were trained to do?

    Get it right doc, ghettos are run by pushers not addicts. The police must crackdown on pushers and ghettos. The ghettos have become living hells for addicts.
