I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING OVER STORIES ON THIS TOLL BOOTH.
I THOUGHT THIS MATTER WOULD HAVE BEEN AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY FOR THE NATION TO DEBATE AN INTERESTING MATTER OF WHETHER INDIVDUALS AND GROUPS HAVE THE RIGHT IN GHANA TO CONSTRUCTOR OR REPAIR ROADS AND CHARGE USERS. THE TWO STUDENTS HAVE SHOWN THE WAY WHICH I EXPECTED THE NATIONAL SECURITY TO HAVE FOLLOWED, BY WAITING FOR THE DECISION OF THE SC. THE JUDGEMENT WOULD HAVE INFORMED GHANAINANS AS TO WHAT TO DO IN ROAD CONSTRUCTION AND MAITENANCE.
NOW, AS IT IS, I DON'T KNOW WHETHER I CAN TEAM UP WITH MY BUDDIES TO REPAIR THE ROAD TO OUR HOMETOWN AND CHARGE USERS FOR USAGE, ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE FACT THAT PARLIAMENT HAS GIVEN UG THE GO AHEAD TO COLLECT THE TOLLS.
SO WHO IS WHO IN GHANA, THE EXECUTIVE OR PARLIAMENT?

Andy-K,
Long time. So where is our President in this stupidity? Before you answer that question, these are the facts.
- Mahama appointed Gbevlo, the National Security Coordinator
- Mahama appointed the Minister of roads and highway.
- The National Security Coordinator can't do anything without the authority of the President.
- The Minister of Roads and Highway can't make any decision without the approval of the President.
- The Minister of roads and Highways SUPPORTS Legon's action of erecting Toll Booth. As a matter of fact, he encouraged many community to do the same.
- The National Security Coordinator is AGAINST Legon's idea of erecting Toll Booths. So he goes and demolish it.
Shouldn't the question be: WHERE DOES MAHAMA STAND ON THIS ISSUE. Or, where is he with all this idiocy going on among his ministers? Does he support the Minister of Roads and Highway idea of allowing Legon to erect the Toll booth or he supports the Gbevlo for pulling it down.
We have a President who knows nothing about leadership and has allowed his ministers to do whatever they want. Yet, no one is talking about it.
Probably, the most important question should be, Is Mahama plain LAZY, OR IGNORANT OR DUMB; which is which? Can you answer that for me?

Ghana is now gradually descending into the amazon jungle where it has become survival of the fittest. This is the impunity and recklessness and the lack of respect for the rule of law and that of the constitution, for which the P(NDC) gov't is noted for, based on it's military junta and vagabond background.
It was this same character who arrogated himself the power to go to the highest court of the land ie the supreme court registry to seize evidence in a case involving the election petition filed against the NDC gov't. Ghana is a banana republic, and NDC gov't needs to be sent packing before the country degenerates into a coconut republic.
There is no leadership in Ghana and when Josiah Aryeh made mention of it, he was insulted and castigated senselessly and that was just over this last 2 days. Ghana is dead under the NDC gov't.

This is the type of lawlessness that has resulted in numerous judgement debts against the government. People in government just act "by heart" and then get the government into legal trouble.
How does this matter fall under the jurisdiction of the national security outfit and under what authority have they demolished the structure?
Obviuosly the university was within its right to build this structure on its land. I am also assuming that they had the requisite permit from the local government to do so, and even if they did not, then it should be a matter for the local government to deal with and not "national security".
The University of Ghana should sue the ass off this caricature and his security outfit. This is when we need the professors in the law faculty to show their stuff.

The University has no right to toll their roads and the National Security was unlawful to demolish the "intended" toll-booth. No institution or individual can single-handedly institute tolls even if they built the road with their own money unless they have been approved by government. Jungle-law cannot be allowed to flourish whereby anyone starts tolling for work they have done with their money! The University could recoup the cost of the roads by charging extra in the students' fee without sounding like they are in the business of road construction and management! On the other hand, the National Security is wrong to demolish the "intended" toll-booth without an order from the courts! The "bugabuga" mentality should not be allowed to creep back into our society! We are "supposed" to live in a democracy and therefore the rule of law must be totally upheld!!

I THOUGHT THIS MATTER WOULD HAVE BEEN AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY FOR THE NATION TO DEBATE AN INTERESTING MATTER OF WHETHER INDIVDUALS AND GROUPS HAVE THE RIGHT IN GHANA ...

I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THIS IS HAPENNING IN DEMOCRATIC GHANA. WHAT? THISX IN DEED IS TAKING US BACK TO MEDIOCRITY, SIMPLY UNACCEPTABLE BY ALL STANDARDS. THIS IS VERY CONDEMNABLE
the guy is a one-man law/dictator
scary
THE TRAFFIC BUILD UP FROM THE STRUCTURES WAS AN UNACCEPTABLE NUISANCE THAT DEMANDED TIMELY REMOVAL. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RULE OF LAW OR THE MERITS OR LACK THEREOF OF THE TOLL COLLECTION. ANY SUCH DISRUPTIVE NUISANC ...

what a sad day it is today that i find myself agreeing with this ayigbe gbevlo , nketia and a few others , is it fear that has woken them up to start thinking right?
No, brutha, it is the University Authorities who are behaving as if they are a law on their own. Educated fools!
Debate what >? The erection of toll ate in the Varsiy ? Bull shit. Do you know anything about security??? Shut your smelly mouth .
Yes, most of us are no doubt opposed to the illegal toll but resorting to another lawless action to frustrate them while the matter is before court is certainly not acceptable to some of us.
Besides, this is not a matter ...

Is Mahama sure these people have his goodwill at heart? Incredible!! Did he - Gbevlo -have a hell of a time getting to his girlfriend in Legon this weekend? Unbelievable!!!

Andy-K,
Long time. So where is our President in this stupidity? Before you answer that question, these are the facts.

Gbevlo Lartey know that Ghana is under "Rule of Law"
When the courts are there you don't adopt this jungle type in the night. Next time use your head.
This is a nonsense show of power. His time will definitely come very soon.
Good work. May God help you protect us from the lawlessness of academic dons.
Did the Colonel approach the University authorities first before sending his men in to cause wilful damage to university property?
He is in a better position to dialogue than most of us, and he could not just use his office ...

Rambo style of demolishing reminiscent of life in the jungle. His response makes matters worse. A national security acting under cover of darkness and above the law? Gee Ghana.
By the orders imposed on the national security by the constitution to enforce the laws of Ghana.
Two students of the University have taken the matter to court and it is yet to be decided on.--- thus it seems lartey is in trouble with his nonsensical Rambo methods.
Gbevlo should ENFORCE THE LAW and not listen to anybody. We should not allow those school authorities at the UG to take the law into their own hands and do as they please.
There was no law court order to tear don the rightly created structure. Lartye as always was wrong too.
Can he take the law into his hands and do whatever he please without court Order? What right has he to do what he did? This was the guy who sought to pull down EX-President Kuffour's house.
Why can't he use his us ...

The University must construct the Booth deep in the Campus. The Authorities are the primary authority of the lands and can manage it in ways they deem good for their benefit,
So in Ghana everyone has the power to do anything and it alright. We are in a mess. Just because you are a security chief does not give you outright power do demolish anything. What is the purpose of the court and the rule of ...

A police state in the making. Where in lies the democratic dispensation?
How can the VC disregard advice from the Chief of Staff and the student body. Such recklessness calls for swift action. Bravo ! This is what the people are looking for.
Gbevlo Lartey you are 100% right.UG is in Ghana not Ghana in UG. Nonsense.Please pick up the Chief Security Officer for UG for gross disrespect for Authority. Is the Vice Chancellor higher than the President of Ghana.
As for this one, Mr. Gbevlo Lartey you have done an excellent job by demolishing the illegal toll boot at the U.G., Legon but I don't agree on the manner in which you sent your men to pull down houses at Adjei Kojo.
A law unto himself, who made him judge and jury. This takes us back several years. Mahama get a grip and start acting like a leader
This is the type of lawlessness that has resulted in numerous judgement debts against the government. People in government just act "by heart" and then get the government into legal trouble.
How does this matter fall un ...

G justifies National Security as he thought fit in the heat of the moment.
A wise move
The University has no right to toll their roads and the National Security was unlawful to demolish the "intended" toll-booth. No institution or individual can single-handedly institute tolls even if they built the road with ...
