  Well, PC's wife was a full time commercial sex worker at circle. In the process, she gave PC a nice little parcel: the untreatable form of gonorrhoea! And PC has been battling with the infection to this day. Anytime the sickness is aggressive PC behaves in a wild manner and people say he is an anti-corruption crusader!

  Does Wood/Timber now believe in the corrupt nature of judicial administration in Ghana? Better go apologize to Kwabena Adjei.

  The problem is not only the police but State Attorneys are also corrupt, incompetent and unwilling to prosecute cases. They do not turn up in court to prosecute cases and when they do, they are not ready but just come to ask for adjournment. Just look at the Woyome case as the State Attorney involved claimed his wife was given a loan by Woyome. He should have been sacked for conflict of interest at best and corruption at worst but he is still there. It's broken and it take a miracle to mend it.

  JB, you have said it all.I do remember it very very well, the days of DPP Gyeke-Darko and how he was very much respected.I was then in class7 at Majosda Preparatory Sch, Laterbiokorshie,in the year 1973 and even at that age I knew of Gyeke-D because I read the good things about him as DPP. His name will never leave my mind as one of the people I admired and respected so much. Anyway,is he alive,my regards.

  Word to the CJ: It is the judiciary's and executive's job to prosecute criminals. Police cannot and should not "settle" cases out of court. Their job is simple: apprehend suspects and turn them over to the judiciary system for their prosecution. To even ask that question, suggests to me the CJ doesn't know what her duties are. If criminals are not brought before the court, isn't it the court's duty to order their appearance and sanction those responsible for bringing them before it; or citing them for contempt? The system is broken because people who are supposed to run it are people like this CJ, who appears not to know her ass from her mouth. How sad.

  The CJ must appologise to the four lawyers who were vilified and threatened for saying the judiciary was corrupt. Where was the CJ then? She has disappointed me. In some jurisdictions, she will resign.

  Who should fix it?? If you can't fix it, then you must resign. We are tired of whiners. Do something. Tired of all these square pegs in round holes. Always waiting for someone to fix stuff. IDIOTS!
