THE NATIONAL HEALTH INSURANCE HAS COLLAPSED. THE NHIS HASN'T REIMBURSED ALL HEALTH SERVICE PROVIDERS FOR 9 MONTHS NOW BUT THIS IS WHAT THE THIEVING NDC/MAHAMBOLE ARE USING OUR TAX FOR. WHILE THE ACC GENERAL PAYS WORKERS OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH WORKERS, OWNERS OF PRIVATE HEALTH FACILITIES CAN'T AND ARE FOLDING UP. SERIOUSLY, ALL PRIVATE HEALTH SERVICE PROVIDERS MUST MEET TO ANNOUNCE THE OBITUARY OF THE NHIS AND START 'CASH AND CARRY' IF THEY DON'T WANT THIS PROPAGANDA-INFESTED NDC GOVT TO COLLAPSE THEIR BUSINESSES. AFTER ALL THE KNUST HOSPITAL AND PRESTEA GOVT HOSPITAL HAVE STARTED 'CASH AND CARRY.' THE SATANAIC NDC WILL,OF COURSE, NEVER ANNOUNCE THE OBITUARY OF NHIS LEST THEY LOSE THE 2016 ELECTIONS BUT IN SO DOING OUR HEALTH SECTOR IS GRINDING TO A HALT. START 'CASH AND CARRY' NOW !!!!!!!!!!

Mr know all Aning, pls offer solutions to the drug trade n don't criticise people who ve made suggestions to the problem. U re always quick to rebut others but never ready to offer ur solution to the problem, for example the Bawku crisis during late President Mills time u never offered any solution to the conflict in Bawku but rather asked the president to engage u to solve the problem, why, re u not a Ghanaian? U seem to know all, give us a break

Has Alhaji Daud been identified and arrested? Is Alhaji Daud the same as the Businessman mentioned in Hannah Tetteh's statement?

If the VVIP staff processed Ms Ametefeh and two other women then, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs should have at least the names of the two other women. Have they passed on those details to the British authorities?

There are more questions than answers on this case. We are watching with interest.

Mahama's NDC government is very confused. It is a high time they remove themseves from the kitchen if it has become too hot.

I personally suggest it is not military persa but the recruitment of the right calibre of personnel from all aspect of the country. Believe you me there are a lot of professionals in the country. Some can be on secondment and some on permanent basis. But once again their condition of service should be very very mouth watering to avoid being... you know. A good profiling should know just the fact that she has the Austrian passport means a lot in discussing of issues in criminology. So pick the right calibre of staff with little training and others with major training to do the job. the work is difficult you can't blame the NACOB entirely it needs a collaborative work and sharing of information.

It s very childish to think the military are less corrupt. Think back to the days when we had military governments, be honst to yourself if there were no corruption cases within them. Why was General Ankrah sacked from NLC--He received bribe, What happened in the NRC era--find it yourself, and under Papa Rawlings the nation's assets have been sold to relatives and friends at almost no price. I have seen with my own eyes military-men drilling out a full barrel of fuel from their truck and selling it a private transport operator. These guys are the worst in terms of corruption free.DO NOT COUNT THEM AMONG THE CLEAN HANDS.

The fight against narcotics requires high moral standing, commitment from leadership in all government agencies tasked with keeping the country safe.
In a country where material acquisition has been elevated to level where nobody questions how these were acquired but simply to see the person as resourceful, the fight against narcotics will not be easy.
I can safely say that more than half of Ghanaians will look the other way if somebody they knew was involved in this activity. Was Amoateng the former NPP MP jailed in the USA for drug trafficking hailed as a hero by people of his home town when he returned?
We as Ghanaians are facing a myriad of difficulties in our daily life because we are such a hypocritical people.
We take up positions in an argument for self-interest only and not the interest of the wider society.

Throughout the 19 years of Rawlings' administration, the Military was a major force of intelligence to reckoned with. The problem is the wrong arm of the Military chosen after he let was the problem. The Navy is best known when it comes to intelligence, and throughout his regime, he was on top of both internal and external security. However, people like you are brain washing citizens you know better, that is why you have your position but the sub - region is still grappling with security.

Please never try the military there at all. Even as at now the Ministry of Defence is the most corrupt ministry in the country. Investigate or audit them and you will see what am telling you. Just try to audit their peacekeeping missions since 1990 to date and you will know what am saying. Gen Smith was the worst of all. Ask any soldier and he will tell you about his corrupt deals.

Hei Tony have you forgottened he holds a PhD.He has a monopoly over knowledge.Or at least that's how these so called Doctors want the rest of us to perceive them.
The undisputed facts indicate that our country is a failed State and these Doctors had been at the helms of our national affairs since our independence.All one needs to be an expert in Ghana is get a terminal degree in any discipline and he/she can spew crap on anything and we the people buy it.It's a damn shame

I agree with Dr Aning, military cannot be a panacea for solving drug problems. There must be a better way than that. They are not angels, and should not be overburdened!
