IT CAME OUT AT THE SUPREME COURT THAT AFARI GYAN AND HIS CORRUPT EC REGISTERED 530,000 OVERSEAS VOTERS (GHANA DIPLOMATIC CORPS, SCHOLARSHPS ETC.). THAT WAS SHOCKING!! WHEN HE WAS ASKED TO PRODUCE THEIR NAMES AND DETAILS, HE ACCOUNTED FOR ONLY 700. THIS IS CRIMINAL CASE, BUT THE BNI AND NDC POLICE CID HAVE NOT INVESTIGATED THIS FURTHER. FURTHERMORE, RECENT FINDINGS SHOWS SCANNED PHOTOGRAPHS, EVEN STAPLE PINS COULD BE SEEN ON THEM, OF THOUSANDS OF VOTERS ON THE BIOMETRIC REGISTER. THIS IS ALSO ANOTHER HIGH PROFILE CRIMINAL ACT WHICH INDICATES THAT, THERE HAS BEEN CRIMINAL MANIPULATION OF THE REGISTER WHICH RENDERS IT NOT WORTHY TO BE USED. WHY IS THE BNI & THE NDC POLICE CID NOT ACTING????????? ASEM BEBA DABI!!!!!

I fully agree with the comments regarding politicians and not those in Ghana. However, with the ongoing scandal regarding the bribing of Judges.
Is the law profession in Ghana honest or dishonest?

Ghanaians and I mean Ghanaians including lawyers and judges are by nature corrupt, dishonest, liars, thieves and hypocrites according to the current chief justice. No wonder the country is in such a mess.

Take for instance kwaku Ananse stories. The stories were to expose certain unwelcome behaviors and thoughts, yet we choose to consume their unwanted effects, as the attractive psrt of the stories. The proper educative parts of the stories are shun and look down upon. Hey, you don't know this guy, he will outwit you, meaning "oyebadeo or obebui saysea" in twi or Akan. And we praised such characters in society. Because of that all of the society want to be known or seen like that.

Without his controversy, there wouldn't be this forum. The topic he brought is giving opinions and we are sharing a problem in society. This what forums are for. Mass participation of opinions and social problems of a nation bringing a better democratic dispensation. I like it. Try to bring topics of your concerns for discussions.

I seriously wonder whether Maurice Ampaw is actually a PhD holder. His English is so bad that it does not befit the status of a lawyer let alone a PhD holder. I have listened to his speeches several times on different occasions and I am appalled at the quality of his English. He commits very basic grammatical blunders like the one in the above quotation in the last paragraph of this news item: "Madam Charlotte's comments is prejudicial to the final report".

How can a PhD holder say the "comments is prejudicial"? Yet this is the kind of nitwit masquerading around as a sort of know-it-all academic who pontificates on national issues and is supposed to be taken seriously! I weep for Ghana.

The truth is that Ghanaians as a people refuse to accept opinions that infringes on their integrity and morals because to me all politicians are dishonest people even Jon Mahama attested to this and has warned his own politicians to stop telling people that they can create the impossible besides I have always argued that nobody in his right mind would elect to be a politician because politicians are a bunch of criminally minded individuals seeking to amass wealth for their families; why would anybody as competent as they come choose to be a politician when you know you can do things and achieve better results because it is only -Kwesi Ndoum is a typical case; he has done it and employs many people ; what did Jon Mahama do in his life except smell the pants of women ; all these politicians are lazy ;cheats ; stealers and criminally minded people who elect to be politicians ; look at a non persons like Ablakwa ; Omane Boama ; Armah Buah ; jon mahama etc with no experience in their working life suddenly decide to become politicians to rule a country ; they are propelled into higher office and then look what happens to the country ; a complete failed nation with its sufferingg masses.
