Zombie-Zoobie the tribal policeman you an insufferable ethnic tribalist !
1. The Akan majority has taken over their country. So to the winner the spoils. The minority dominated NDC governments were no different in their distribution of spoils?
2. NADAA manifesto policies if implemented will lift all tribes in Ghana to their potentials: Free SHS; devolution of central power from Accra to the Districts and Constituencies; one District one Factory; one village one dam; Agricultural productivity and its industrial value add systems; Railways development across the country. NHIS sustainability; efficient and cheaper energy; etc.
These policies are very egalitarian and non-discriminatory !
Rather than worry about which tribe gets transient political jobs, encourage your folks to get free education and get into wealth creation ( business) and agriculture.
3. The world financial system is controlled by a small tribe who were once discriminated against.
Thank far. NADAA is the least tribal leader in Ghana.

You're a homosexual & disgrace to your family - Foh-Amoaning fires Amnesty Board Chair

?Lawyer Moses Foh-Amoaning

Host of NEAT FM’s morning show, Kwesi Aboagye had the toughest time controlling Law lecturer, Moses Foh-Amoaning and Mr. George Aggrey, Board Chairman of Amnesty International Ghana during a telephone interview on whether Ghana should or should not accept homophile practice.

Both resource persons held different views on the subject – however, their heated argument led to some personal attacks during the live interview on NEAT FM’s morning show 'Ghana Montie'.

Mr. George Aggrey who failed to openly dismiss claims regarding his alleged status as a homosexual was described by the renowned lawyer as a disgrace to his entire family – a comment the Human Rights Group, Amnesty board chairman did not take lightly.

“You are a grown up person, were you taught by your parents to have sex through your anus? Are you gay? Do you have sex through your anus? Why are you lying to Ghanaians that homosexuality is good?” Moses Foh-Amoaning quizzed but was not answered.

Genesis of the gay issue

The Speaker of Parliament, Prof. Mike Oquaye when addressing some members of the Royal House Chapel on Monday, February 20, 2017, called for the amendment of the country’s laws to completely ban homosexuality and make it illegal.

He described homosexuality as despicable and against the country’s culture which cannot be accepted.

He said: “It is unfortunate that people have become so liberal that they will want to liberalise Christianity…even priests are approving of homosexuality and allowing a man and a man [to] marry, a woman and a woman [to] marry and these are manifest abominations.”

“I trust that with your kind of insistence, the Parliament of Ghana…will find its way clear in strengthening the laws to ban homosexuality as they exist. As for this, may God forbid that it becomes a Ghanaian culture,” he added.

Amnesty stance on gay issues

The Human Rights Group, upon the Speaker’s call, launched a strong resistance against the amendment of the country’s laws to completely ban homosexuality and make it illegal.

According to the group’s board chairman, Mr. George Aggrey, it will be ‘dangerous’ and tendency of infringing the fundamental and universal rights of those engaged in homosexuality.

“Everyone has their freedom and rights and must not be shattered by any law. Our position is that it is a right for every individual to practice what they want. If the person thinks homosexuality is good, allow the person to practice it. That is their right,” he said.

“If our culture is against gayism, then we must educate our children when they are young to abstain. If the person is above 18, then you can’t force the person to stop that in any way. There’s no law in Ghana that is against homosexuality, there is no law,” he noted.

Lawyer Foh-Amoaning’s position

The law lecturer, however, schooled Mr. Aggrey that “There are laws in Ghana and homosexuality is not accepted in our culture. Inasmuch as we have our rights, we don’t have the right to do everything. Can I have sex with my mother because I have my right? Mr Aggrey, you are a disgrace to your own family.”

“Mr. Aggrey is a homosexual and lying to Ghanaians. I am putting it to you [Aggrey] that you are practising gayism. You are a disgrace to your family. How can you admit anal sex is a right,” he charged.

The Forestry Commission needs an expert in Forestry or allied Scientific Fields to be its head. Anyone beyond those Fields must have a record of lifetime advocacy to salvage our Forests, and sustain resourcefulness of the Forest Estates to the Citizens.

Appointing a Timber Contractor is not necessarily a bad choice but Timber Contractors in Ghana are notorious for infringing upon our Forest Ordinance, and accelerating the demise of our Forest cover all around the Nation.

It has largely been for the corruption by the Timber Contractors, especially, in under-reporting their revenues from abroad to the State, that the Forestry Department saw numerous restructuring efforts in our recent past, including the disbanding of the Timber Marketing Board and Export Company.

Besides, much of the illegal extraction of Timber from the Forests has been perpetrated by licensed Timber Merchants who have lots of cash on hand to pay their way out of legal shackles when caught.

So, Akufo-Addo must strongly convince the Citizenry why Kokofu is a right choice for the Forestry Commission. The days when the Commission has been one of the areas of Government where political favorites are given compensatory appointments were thought to be far over.

There is no better time for ensuring the Commission is best fitted by the most dedicated and knowledgeable individuals. Anything less would see an almost irreversible degradation of both the physical existence of the Forests and their contribution to our Nation's economy.

Long Live Ghana!!!

The DG position is established through the procurement system. The position is advertised, qualified and interested canditated apply and go through inverview/selection process and the one who meets the the selection committed criteria is recommended to the president for appointment. The selection committee (interview panel) is compost of the public service commission, the GHS council, donor partners etc.Proff Akosa, Elias Sory and Appiah Denkyera all went through this process b4 they became DG of Ghana Health Service. For Prez Nana Addo who belief so much in the procurent system to want to bypass procedural processes and hand pick Dr. Nsiah As are ad the DG of health service will be unfortunate.
