It is just harassment, which is a huge difference from sexual assault. The reportage in Ghana is terrible.

Oh my God, I cant Laugh.

Mr Odinga you have really freaked me out. If as you claim, the nurse was not sexually harassed, can you please, for the understanding of all, distinguish the difference between harassment and sexual harassment?

As for the reportage in Ghana, I agree with you that it is terrible but however it seems that you are even more terrible than the reportage.

I can now better understand why you support the govt against doctors who are looking for better conditions of service.

The sick in a psychiatric hospital are called PATIENTS not 'INMATES"! They are not criminals in prison.

Both Aponkye and the guy/lady who always spews this nonsense about should remember the article is on Mental Health Patients and their behaviour! I would like to suggest that both could get admission at this Psychiatrist Hospital there for FREE.
This is for their own sanity.!
I think Ghanaians would rather prefer a 'dwarfish, fat, ugly' President whose policies work to lift Ghana up than a 'Macho-man, handsome, Tarzan' who has no clue how to run a State! surrounded by equally INCOMPETENT elements.

Blame the system in Ghana,it is a failed system,these inmates supposed to be reviewed very often to determine those who can be on their own to move out of the facility and be visited occasionally but we keep them there forever.

What they need to do in the interim is not to send female to male inmates and vice versa,it happens everywhere when there is these kind of problems which I wonder why they will send female nurses to male inmates and also one nurse should not go to the inmates,at least two should go there,they supposed to get training in Therapeutic Crisis Intervention to know how to deal with such inmates when something like that happens,every worker including those in management needs to get trained in that field in both theory and practical and get certificate to work there,you cannot work with such people without the adequate training.

Finally,it is unprofessional for whoever said this to the media to do that,they don't have to tell the general public these kind of things,very bad,we have thrown ethics to the dust bin.

Corney it seems you have had some experience in the mental hospital - either as a worker or as an inmate. Which is what?

If you think it is so unprofessional for medical staff to air their officially disregarded life-and-death concerns and grievances to the public, do you think it is equally unprofessional for Presidential staffers to leak classified information concerning incomplete negotiations with senior medical staff, to the public? Yes or NO?

You guys can keep your unprofesdional way of doing things,I'm not forcing Ghana to join the civilized world to do things the right way but I know it is wrong to say something like that to the public,you get fired for doing that.

You people are so ignorant. SAD
No where in the world do hospitals allow sex.
There is medicine that can be given to lower their libido.
There is only one Psychiatric Hospital in all of Ghana. Ridiculous!!!

SO, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? BEST YOU LEAVE GHANAIAN AFFAIRS TO GHANAIANS. IN GHANA, WE SAY YOU ARE "TOO KNOWN".... (MEANING, STUPIDITY PORTRAYING ITSELF AS INTELLIGENCE).

Have u heard of sex therapy? Where is it administered? Not in brothel! Indeed u are too known as already pointed out. By the way, sex therapy involves real sexual intercourse at times with a patient as a form of treatment.

Do you refer to psychiatric patients as inmates, then how will you call prisoners. Absolutely shit and good for nothing reporter.

@Ta: just as the word sound or explains. IN-MATE. They're mates in an institution. Even though the term IN-MATE OR INMATE is popularly used for people that are incarcerated, however, it not a locked down term. Cheers

When I first arrived in the UK and working in a psychiatric hospital, I did the same thing. I had a good dressing down and asked to re-write the notes. Here patients can sue you for referring to them as IN-MATES. LOL.

If you are assaulted by any mental patient, take them to Mr. Obiri's court. He doesn't distinguish between metal patients and normal people.

The police have the be present when nurses are attending to inmates. Because psychos pay attention to people in uniforms and that will make the police to be busy because some of them don't do anything.
