    Anyone who mistakenly buys a car from Nigeria must know that the FBI and interpol will come for the cars. If those cars were genuinely, will they advertised them to be sold to people leaving abroad?

    You've spoke my mind. It takes a critical thinker to know that they usually bring these intervention programs to withdraw attention of Ghanaians and then loot with both hands.

    National service was started in September 1973 and was by NRC decree 208 signed by Acheampong.

    Hon Boamah is very right, Busia’s government established the National Service Corps in 1970 under Act 329, and Acheampong later established the National Service Scheme in 1973. Changing the name or structure doesn't erase t ...

    People truly don't know the history. It was truly established by Dr Busia in 1970 and was called National Service Corps. Col Acheampong changed its name to National Service Scheme in 1973

    Act 329 of 1970, the National Service Corps Act, was assented to on 2 July 1970 under Busia.

  • Kwesi 1 month ago

    Nobody is denying that the NSS was set up in 1973. The point is that Busia's government passed a National Service Corps law three years earlier. Both facts are true.

    Whether the Corps worked is a separate question. A 1973 Daily Graphic column said it never got off the ground. Starting something and succeeding at it are different things, and I'm only making the first claim.

    The NRC dissolved the Corps by decree (NRCD 47) in 1972. You can only dissolve something that legally existed."

    And not even surprising. Military regimes will rename things to create the impression that they brought it and that they must be credited with that policy

  • Frank 1 month ago

    Timeline: 1970 Busia passes the National Service Corps Act. 1972 the NRC dissolves it. 1973 the NRC creates the NSS through NRCD 208. 1980 Act 426 repeals NRCD 208. Each step is documented.
