    Thus is what we have as Education minister he has no clue on what he is doing.

    Any time you hear of a Supporter of NDC attacking Haruna Iddrisu, it means he's a pro-Asiedu Nketia campaigner. They see him as a threat to his ambition. It will never work.

  • Karikackchar 1 day ago

    That’s to say one cannot eat his cake and have it back. If the ministry tries to take over the schools and insists that once there’s public funds the school can’t instill religious discipline, then you don’t expect di ...

    The Bishop should be careful. He is sounding suspiciously partisan, as in NPP supporter. The day the Catholic Bishops are seen as another Ghana Bar Association is when they lose credibility. I’m sure there are several Bisho ...

    You are dead wrong. The President of the Catholic Bishops' Conference does not speak by heart. What in what he has said that makes him sound political? You just want to shut him up because he is speaking the truth? You cannot ...

    He deliberately avoided the date they were chased out to throw dust into the eyes of the public that it was last year. Opoku Ware SHS, they beat up their senior House master and destroyed his plantain farm. Who was in power

    Was it Catholic Bishops who forced teacher John Mahama to go out with School girl Lordina? It was the worse form of indiscipline which was punishable but JDM escaped. This relationship affected the education of Lordina.
