This particular government has no idea what is going on.They are bent on looting and that's it.Those arrested are just scape-goats and should be freed as soon as possible.If i may ask, where were those arrested before the recent fire in Kumasi? Mahama is clueless and he is confused.The Nigerian Murtala Mohammed is bias and senseless.Release the innocent guys.Shameless people

If you have a party full of youngmen who have never worked before gaining political appointment this is what happens.They see propaganda as the best tool to govern us,unfortunately majority of the populace are illiterates.

Why is is it that the average NDC fool soldier always comment as if wisdom becomes a scarce commodity once you pitch camp with the NDC? Many of your ministers and their deputies never worked in their lives but are appointed to sign contracts on your behalf, Kwame. Being a teacher doesn't make you a nonentity. Many security experts in the world have never participated actively in wars but give advice based on theories so try to make reasonable arguments instead of unwarranted and shallow-minded attacks on people.

@Mooroh Elvis and Timothy why are people blinded with politics, when pple are making viable contribution you people cant make any meaningful contribution but rather be attacking the one making it. I think what Dr. Anning is saying make sense and must be given due consideration. the government shd do more to address the situation other than attacking and arresting innocent people. then with the recent fires then that mean there are more arsonists who have to be arrested

Lawlessness, indiscipline, extremely poor maintenance culture and stupid politicisation of every single issue in Ghana should be blamed for the rampant fire outbreaks we are confronted with. And yes, if we do not do the right things to solve the problem, for once Kwesi Aning may be right that the worst is yet to come.

Why can't any one of this lame duck security men in Ghana see that the opposition leader and his followers are clandestinely carrying out their 'all die be die' agenda and threats against the ruling government to mess up the Ghanaian economy and make the nation ungovernable?

So all of a sudden all the electrical wires which have worked for years at these markets have decided to simultaneously gang up and spark fires continuesly without ceasing? Do you think if mahama has any spine fools like Kwesi Aning dare say such stupid statements when thousands of Ghanaians have watched their livelihood burn away? If any one wants security in Ghana then they should arrest Nana Addo and his henchmen and you will see the end of these fires and wickedness against Ghana.

Until we take matters of security serious we shall see these lawlessness continue

Kwasia,

The NPP yelled loudly through its officials like sammy awuku, Anthony Karbo, Owusu Afrifie aka sir John that they will make Ghana burn if they dont win. Other said they will make Ghana ungovernable so pick your take.

Months later Ghana is burning so what is your problem? Did NPP not organize a demo to go disgrace JM at london recently? What if John as started messing with NPP is some disrespectful way like the NPP did to JJR when they denied him his entitlements as ex president to travel via the usual channels presidents use?

NPP wants to make Ghana economy suffer hence the fire outbreaks. The economy of Ghana runs around our major markets because farm produce all end up at the markets. Even foreign imports end up there so our markets control a huge portion of our economy so think kwasia

This is the most sensible method to tackle the fire outbreaks. I never believed that there was anyone behind the fire outbreaks. The arrested individuals are just being used to cover the failures of the system. Poor quality electrical cables in the system MUST be flushed out,and a reduction in prices of the quality ones for everybody to be able to buy them,to me this is not politics. The fires have no political affiliation.

You are on point Mr the illegal conection and the poor quality of the electrical goods could be the cause of all this and the government should be looking at it carefully, instead of this witchhunt. How many of our electrical works are carried out by approved and tested and qualified workers, where did they have their training and who inspected the installation when its been done.

It look like MR.Emmanuel Kofi Anning is agreeing with NATO that terrorist, arsonist and people who leak state secrets, other than in NATO countries should not be arrested and prosecuted.
We saw and heard that terrorists involved in the Boston and London terrorist acts were arrested and are facing trial now. There has been arrest of terrorists in Kenya, Afghanistan, U.S., Russia and other countries in which terrorist acts take place and the whole world was made aware of the identity of the terrorist. It looks like some people have started looking at these acts of terrorism as the terror which one Amina and those who murdered the Ya Na and his elders leashed on Ghanaians with the support of some people in the security, the bar and the bench.

Dr. Kwesi, I dont see your point. If somebody is arrested it must be announced. If he is only a suspect and investigations are going on it must be announced. The citizens need to know what is going on. But the security people have to continue to do their job and arrest anyone who is into sabotaging Ghana. Those who are trying to set fires are taking risk. That is why I think those arrested must be processed quickly and dealt with.There are problems in every country and security men and women are expected to do their job efficiently. We all need to keep our eyes open and catch the evil people in our society

Parliament will as a matter of urgency pass the act of prevention of terrorism act under which anybody who is suspected to be planning or about to carry out any terrorist act should be put under protective custody for at least six months and maximum of two years.
We are told that the Judges at the Supreme Court call for those lawyers who fought for judgment debt for their clients and won to be dealt with.
It looks like our justices value money more than human life hence it does not matter if the property of Ghanaians are burnt by arsonist and their lives are taken away by terrorist. The Nigerian man who intend to blow a bomb on a plane was not charged or trying to cause arson, but as a terrorist who intend to kill people. Thus as both the bar and the bench in Ghana love their lives they must as well be their brothers and sisters keepers and help to protect life and property.
Kofi Sarpong, Peckham, London 10 years ago

The problem in Ghana is different. Even if they are not charged after investigations, their lives will be at risk from party activists and supporters.

God did not used matches to ignite the fire that engulfed Sodom & Gomorah. The rpedicament in which we find ourselves now is an act from THE ALMIGHTY GOD. We have all sinned againt our Creator and Humanity. Until we all come to terms that it is an act of GOD and confess our sins, the burning will continue. All these was prophesized on 31 December 2012. The prophecy has come to pass and it is continuing. Most Heads of States and former Heads will die this year, and this prophecy has come to pass. Floods, etc. etc. Please lets pray for forgiveness. Politicians are bent on fooling the populace with lies, propaganda, even when the truth lies naked to the eyes of everyone. God is really ANGRY and the end is near!

This is Ghana,every misfortune is caused by somebody,we are never at fault.One sees it in our daily lives,if we lose our job,it is by juju or the witch,if somebody dies in our family,even if the person lived for 90yrs it is the witch.If we fall sick it is the witch.As people we have surrended our abilities to think and use our brains to solve problems.And the saddest part of it all is,people who are supposed to lead us has joined the bandwagon,blaming their shortcomings on the opposition.
The Government talks as if this is the first time,we are experiencing such fire outbreaks in Ghana,instead of calling experts at a roundtable to find a solution to atleast reduce such incidence,they have turn it into politics,arresting innocent poor people as scapegoats.
The question is,what does these guys gain by setting fire to all these markets?
Have ever overhaul something we have spend money to build?Our electricity cables are as old as the Company itself,have we ever think about that,and imagine that old and weak cables plus illigal conection can also cause fire out breaks?
Most of our problems in Ghana is the lack of discipline,this "i don`t care"attitude,nobody feeling responsible for anything.
If i hear Afari-Gyan in court saying he doesn`t know what goes on at the EC,apart from he announcing Election results,then i say, we as people have a long way to go,that is if we have started to move.
