You now want mahama to interfere in examinations conducted by a high institution of learning?

Come on put your head in shape. Go back to the statutes of the law school and proceed to work your case up to the supreme court.

It is folly on your part to expect changes to law school exams to be done through executive fiat

Your argument isn't even coherent. Just emotional and sensational like Ghana Gospel music. You are lucky I studied agric, else I would have met you in court.

What is needed is that the General Legal Council must concentrate on setting the standards it requires to be admitted to the Bar in Ghana.This includes the examinations and the pass marks required.

Once this is done it must accredit institutions that are required to teach for the Bar Examinations. The Ghana Law School should only be one of such Schools and should not be the sole teaching institution as to be fair and create a competitive environment, other Law Schools must be allowed to teach for the Examinations.

AT end of the teaching year, all the students will take ONE EXAMINATION SET BY THE GHANA LEGAL COUNCIL.

This will bring us in line with some practices in the Commonwealth counties such as the UK

As for this I beg to differ. It has nothing to do with politics so please leave Mahama out of this. If you really are interested in the law school then rather send your petition to the General Legal Council. The AG has very little to do about this. Your appeal to Mahama is misplaced. Please redirect.

Nana Akoto Kwame, Esq.,

I hate to disagree with you on this involvement of the President (Ref. your article on Ghanaweb of Mon, 31 Aug, 2015 titled: Ghana School of Law Part 5).

I will agree with you something has to be done to probe and unravel this case that may be just one case of the fraud in our Educational system. However this may be only part of the overall breakdown in the laws and rules of discipline in our nation in areas ranging from the agricultural and environmental protection, road construction, communication, energy and transportation sectors. Nobody seem to be telling the truth and working hard for their money! We have a nation where the President has to date not been able to have justice in the case of judgment debt and contract frauds amounting to close to $900 million. To list a few:
SADA-$100m,
RLG $100m,
Woyome $51m breach of contract judgment debt awards
Isofoton and others,
57,000 ghost names on payroll -est. $285m in past 10 years (estimate each paid say $5,000 per year)
Honorable Lawyer, if the President has not been able to exhibit the character trait to have investigated and punished these obvious cases of fraud, how do you expect him to handle this case of what appears like an ethical breach? How does he go about proving anybody guilty? How many years do you think HE Mahama would take to do this?
What you Ghanaian Lawyers who seem to be and claim to be as smart as your colleagues in America need to learn is the CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS concept and system. It is a system of seeking social equity and justice where you or a group of Lawyers offer a service to a citizenry or other groups that have suffered such potential losses or injustice. Unfortunately most of you only think of your immediate gain and I hate to say that you mostly seem to have no time for the society at large and the aggrieved with no upfront cash for you. Some of you Lawyers are deceptive in your practices and take moneys to push cases through the system when paid, through connections with Judges, or neglect clients half way who pay you agreed amounts. We have cases to cite but not now.
Do I lie?
PLEASE let the President do other things instead and let this one go! Yes he can offer an opinion but for what good than utterances blowing in the wind? Do you want another useless tea-drinking Commission of inquiry that leads to no prosecution? Why not advocate to have the AG office separated from under the Presidency and decentralize powers of the Presidency so locals can vote their leaders and justice and societal management brought closer to home as done in other democracies!

The highest mark was 90 not 87. Get your facts right at least.

The highest was indeed 90% scored by a student from the University of Ghana and GIMPA. Out of the total of qualified students, Gimpa has the highest but that is about 80 or so out of the 298.

Please, the institution called GIMPA did not write the exams it is individuals from their faculty of law who wrote the entrance exam, so if they have done extremely well and better than others, that passes for evidence of corruption. I will not be surprised if the author of this illogical piece failed the exams deservedly. How can you aspire to the legal profession with such illogic. And what business of the President is it to regulate law school entrance exams. Whew! I perspire

Great comment. I perspire at the confidence of the illogical conclusions and recommendations the author is making. Why can't Educated think with our minds and leave our bitter hearts out baffles me. If we can't explain phenomena it's either cheating or the devil. We believe we deserve the best simple because we sweat and toil. No, in the real world the smart get ahead of the pack

Nana Osei Kwame is entitled to his opinion. Is he by this article suggesting that it is only the dull-headed and the affluent that go to Gimpa? or that if graduates from that side of the divide pass the exams with the highest marks, don't they also deserve something good? I hope he is not inferring that it is only graduates from the traditional institutions(universities) that deserve the best of everything. In this 21st Century people with such mentality don't have aplace in our universe. If he is one of those, then the earlier he revises his notes the better for him!!!
