yes, he is an Ewe, trying to defend those filthy ashanti prostitutes. it is common knowledge that, 90% of all the prostitutes in Ghana are of filthy and dirty ashanti maggot origin.

This problem is ancient and cuts across borders all over the world. In fact, some gov'ts have given up on it like the MP wants us to do.

The problem is that, the West and rich nations can manage with the underlining problems, but just look at poor Ghana with all the ready over-sized burden we carry. prostitution goes hand in hand with diseases and lots of social problems like murders, money laundering, robbery, mental problems, name it.
This is not a joke if we care to ask our Nigerian and Ivorian brothers kindly.

We need to support the Police and help with ideas to control this and not just open the doors for everything.

The police must stake out the place, arrest the men who patronize these so called prostitutes and punish them. Remember what Diana's brothers did to Shechem. We simply must learn to think for ourselves.

Recent events especially the demonstration in Kumasi show that there are competent capable NPP youth who do not hesitate to do the right thing , strategies and planning on scale almost as perfect as a war effort yet remain humble and real down to earth. These so called elders including Nana Addo underestimated these youth and the brain power they have , maybe its time to give way and allow some of these unknown worthy men /women to come forward and lead. we know many of the youth today have been brainwashed by the NDC propaganda into stupidity so do not see the truth. have you ever asked yourself why is it that when they hear the call WE AKANS they go into a stupefied frenzy of hate ? why is it that Akans are now very cautious of even saying who they are and where they are from , why is it that its only the Akans who believed in the melting pot of Ghana and disregarded their diversities . why is it that today in the ministries most traumatized Akans especially the Fantis and Nzemas will only speak Ga or English yet ewes , northerners and others can freely converse in their mother tongue ? Talk about aggressive tribalism and where its coming from , why is this govt and their minority groups continuously trying to marginalize the Akans and undermine every effort at development since the time of Kotoka . Yes its all about the worst kind of tribalism , hegemony , chauvinism , buga buga , propaganda lies and destructive corruption. We must fight even though we shall be branded mad men , cocaine dealers , drug barons and any other personality or character assassination they can think of . We must not allow them to break our spirit with this deliberate agenda to create poverty , divide and rule , no law or justice for the Akan . We must like it or not seriously consider seceding and forming our own state without these Ewes , Northerners and Gas as that way we leave a legacy and better future for our children . No point in having a country and govt that seems to do well only in making our people miserable and poor , that gives our gold fields to enemies who will never invest a single dollar into our economy but rather do everything to weaken our economies to the point were self reliance is impossible . They do this under the guise of proper business that makes the World bank , IMF and European union happy but we need a Mugabe or Chavez who will look out for the interests of our own people FIRST.

Irresponsible Comment !
Is there any law in the World which restrict anyone not to walk the Street in the morning, afternoon,evening,night,and at dawn ?
Again,to accept to a question to be a prostitute does not imply that the ladies committed Prostitution. Where are the men
involed in the Act ? Because it takes 2 person (man and -woman) to have this sort of Sex.
Incriminating statesment notwithstanding , I think both the Police who arrested the ladies and the Court erred for the simple fact that the case was not proven beyond reasonable doubt in absence of the arrest of the men involved in the act as exhibit and culprits,and also the victims were not legally represented as required by law.Their rights were not explained to them.
Therefore,the ladies involved should take class legal action against the Police Administration.Sue the Police Administration for a heavy monetary compensation.
You're entitled to your opinion,though.

Hang on people, I'm astonished with all the morality preachers here. So are we saying prostitutes don't have human rights - that is if it is proven they are, no?
Question - are we going to round up all the cabal of MP's who have multiple mistresses? What is the difference.
My issue is this, whenever judgement by these corrupt judges is disproportionate to the crime, we should all be concern because it could you.
I refuse to cast nebulous judgement on these poor women when the "elite" in society are behaving very badly or raping the Country.

The new Prostitute just finished her first trick and when she came back
down to the street, the seasoned veterans all gathered around to hear
the details.
She said "well, he was a big muscular and handsome marine".
"Well, what did he want to do?" they all asked.
She said " I told him that a straight lay was $100, but he said he
didn't have that much". "So I told him a blow job would be $75, but
he didn't have that much either". "Finally I said, well, how much
do you have"? The marine said that he only had $25.
The new hooker said "well, for $25 all I can give you is a hand job"
He agreed and after getting the finances straight, she said " he
pulled it out and I put one hand on it, and then the second hand above
the first and then the first hand above the second hand....."
"Oh my god" they all exclaimed, "it must have been huge"! " then what
did you do?"
"I loaned him $75!" she said.

When will our so-called learned men and women get rid of their neo-colonialist wig and gowns?Or they think still clinging to such outdated,imperialist outfit set them apart from the society? We had independence over 60 years ago and the legal fraternity still cling to the neo-colonialist tradition.No wonder the nation is not progressing.

This is his analysis“if you are charging someone for soliciting for immoral purposes to wit engaging in a sex trade, the persons must not just be walking on the streets and then be told you are here at this odd hour and the residents are complaining and so we are arresting you,”. Mr. MP, people are arrested on suspicion at all first instances. They are to defend themselves they are not there for that purpose convincingly. Even on murder cases and robbery alike, suspects are picked up later they release them. Joint Military actions swoops suspected gangsters. They only swoop potential areas and arrest everyone even including MPs(if there were) why do you seem to have had problem with this action? Or your client is in that? Well this is a Ghanaian Legislator for you.

What crime did the ladies committed.
The police should equally presented to the Court at the same time as the so called prostitutes, the men involved in the Act at the time of their arrest ,as exhibits and culprits,to proved to the Court beyond any reasonable doubt. Because,just for someone to say,yes
" I am a prostitute" does not imply the person has committed Prostitution .So, there is not enough evidence to arrest.Even if a lady agreed in principle to a under cover who pretend to solicit for her service,not until both of them actually entered a room,and the lady make attempt to undress,I suppose it is wrong to assume that She is a prostitute. Again,is it not the same mankind that patronize these so called prostitutes,or is it the ladies that forces the men to mate them .
Don't you think Chief Suptd Seidu and his men could have served the nation better if they have rather gone after and arrested any of the highway robbers,who kills or terrorize Drivers and passengers.Or helped to cleared the filth in Accra !
What crime has these ladies committed in a Country that has not a Single Social Welfare Benefits to help their own ,the poor and the destitute,to have just one meal in a day.etc.
Imagine !
Those to be arrested for prosecution are the "madams" among them,if any; whom recruit and tricked innocent minors to enrich themselves,for endangering the welfare of a Child. Anyway.

Those girls have been LOITERING around Cantonments for years and there are laws and ordinances on the books against LOITERING WITH INTENT.

If you live on the streets of Cantonments where these girls operate you will know that they are a nuisance (noisy, littering, defecating and urinating all over the place, all night and there are ordinances against this) and bring into the area criminals who attempt to break into the homes in those areas.

Residents of Cantonment deserve the same protection, peace and quiet as any citizen of Ghana. If this FOOL think they have a right to be on the streets, then I suggest they stand outside his house.

Can somebody ask the MP whether he has travelled outside to the US, UK, and the whole of Europe before? These are countries with proper laws and even legalized prostitution. But with all prostitutes are raided, arrested, prosecuted and even jailed. So Afenyo should shut-up and stop disgracing himself and parliament. He cannot not know or understand all the law than both the judge and police commander.

Nii Otu, if prostitution is a crime or a nuisance
to the public, why should it be legalized in any way for any reason in the first place ?
Again ,if it's completely socially not acceptable ,why should those Countries you mentioned legalized some and arrested others ? I think prostitution is prostitution whether legalized or illegal. Please remember that “all die be die" !
But the position of the MP among others is that,there's not enough evidence to warrant the arrest of these women,if you like.
Therefore,the question of whether the Hon. Markins (MP) has traveled to the US,UK, before is irrelevant and does not necessarily translate to ignorance and disgrace in any way. You''re entitled to your opinion,though.
Anyway.

I have the details on the case and the police for the first time were professional and justified in the arrest of the ladies. Some facts the MP must know:
1. It took the police over two months investigation to effect the arrest.
2. The police gave the ladies opt to contact their lawyers. Their lawyers refused to honour their call because they have no case.
3. The judge at court gave them opt to plea and they pleaded guilty to the charge.

Is the MP telling us he will overturn the court ruling? Where was the MP when the ladies were arrested and it was broadcasted and published all over? Where was the lawyer when the case went to court?

If the the MP cares to know, the ladies are group under an association that works with a locally and internationally funded NGO. Believe me if the ladies have any human rights abuse cases these bodies would have yelled. The UNAIDS have been involved. They solicited the input of a to human rights organization. The case top notches of the police were met and the police have a case.

In short the ladies were not picked just because they were hanging out on the street. Some of them were picked in action. In fact they assisted the police to separate the prostitutes from non-prostitutes.

Mr. MP if you want popularity help pass the RTI bill ant not this case. What happened to the Ajei-Kojo, Tip Toe and Aviation demolitions after MP of the areas made loud political noise for cheap popularity. I learnt the lady MP of tema was humiliated after the facts were made known to her. Mr. MP do not humiliate yourself.

If what you said is the truth, not the MP or anyone of us against the arrest made a mistake.
The question is,is actual marriage devoid of money ? The intention of the money for whatever reason does not come in.
What do you mean by caught in the act !
Since when did it becomes a Crime for a Woman to agree to have Sex with someone ?
Why were the men involved not arrested as culprits,and presented to the Court,and equally Charged as the ladies,for prostitution. Do you know that invasion of privacy comes into play here ? Because it is not an offence to have Sex,if both the Woman and the man agreed to it anywhere in the World, unless the Woman is under age.
In human history,how many Women refused to accept money either agreed on,or given out voluntary from a man? So What is a Prostitute and Which Woman is a prostitute ?.
You made mention of NGO and UNAIDS etc.
My question to you is :where from these Bodies or Institutions.Where in this World is not a so called prostitutes. And since when is prostitution a Crime ? There are more questions than answers.
The only time I will support such arrest is where a man enslave his girlfriend to have Sex with other men,while he collect and pocket the proceeds.Even in that situation it is the man and not the Woman who should be arrested.Or, a Woman who recruits fellows and tricks them into prostitution to enrich herself,in endangering the welfare of minor or woman.
So,the Madam and Man "Pimp" whom should be arrested jailed for not less than 25 years because they are the real Criminal ! Anyway.
