The Chief Justice of Ghana is very unpatriotic for blocking the decentralization of Legal Education. Her stubborn stance has led to many Ghanaians not knowing their rights as enshrined in our law books and, for that reason, a lot of foreign entities have fleeced Ghanaians and many of our compatriots are unaware of it.
I am one person who, through my single efforts, has been able to protect many Ghanaians from being cheated by the Telcos through short codes 1733 and 1303. Any Ghanaian who receives messages from these short codes has automatically been short-changed. It happened to me on some few occasions and when I protested and asked for a refund, I was able to get GHC7.55 back - to my surprise. Imagine some 5million subscribers of that telco being deducted this amount monthly. You can now see how the Telcos are making cheap money and repatriating it back to their countries all because majority of Ghanaians don't know law. Later when I checked those behind this dubious deal I was told the company's name is MTech and almost all the directors are from Eastern Nigeria. Initially when I started the fight, NCA personnel did everything to frustrate me but because I had sound knowledge in Global Corporate and Business Law, I was able to trap them after which they had no option than to divulge sensitive information to me. How was I able to acquire the knowledge to salvage Ghanaians? It is because I got the chance to subscribe to a programme by distance learning, at the comfort of my home, even though I had to part ways with some few British Pounds. You see, if the British have made it possible for me to acquire such a wonderful legal knowledge, what prevents our Legal Council from putting measures in place to decentralize Legal Training? My people, I am currently battling a foreign bank in Ghana which is also fleecing their unsuspecting clienteles. I know I am going to win without a lawyer because I have a superior legal knowledge - thanks to the Queen of England who has made this possible.
Well, critics of the decentralized system have argued in favour of quality and my question is; after practicing the current centralized system for decades what have we achieved apart from high court judges taking bribes.

A town, as important as Navrongo, has no law firm. Navrongo is a municipality, has a basilica, home to the biggest irrigation dam in West Africa, the citadel of education in northern Ghana and has two members on the current Supreme Court Bench. This explains why the training of lawyers in Ghana must be decentralized because the current mode of training only causes shortage of law professionals, promotes elitism and is the major cause of rural urban migration. After law school, in mostly the big cities, almost all the law graduates decide to stay in such cities and refuse to come to their localities. This has created great shortage of law professionals at the local levels thereby causing unnecessary pressure on Legal Aid personnel at the regional level. This deficiency has also motivated corporate entities to cheat citizens of such localities because, they know even if anything at all, one cannot easily access legal services to seek redress. I don’t know whether the current Chief Justice is aware of the situation on the ground or she has vowed to suppress the rural folks at all cost.
This is the reason why Nana should bring modernity to the training of Law Professionals by appointing a Chief Justice, after the expiration of Georgina Wood’s term, who will decentralize the training of lawyers. We must also be able to have a lot of Engineers, Accountants, Technicians, Agriculturists, nurses, medical doctors, scientists, etc, all enrolling to be lawyers. This is what will enrich our law profession. The current state of affairs only seek to promote the arts and humanities over the rest. No wonder the current dispensation of justice in Ghana is a pale shadow of itself.

Dotse has proven time and again that he is honest and justice when it comes to judgment. Anim Yeboah is a criminal, corrupt and liar of a judge. If it is given to him, the whole judicial service will come to it knees worse than before. It will be full of vices, dishonest, injustice, scandals upon scandals, perversion and distortion of justice. I stand to be corrected but Justice Dotse brought the popular statement,"create, loot and share". Anim Yeboah has shown his infedelity in so many instances with the issue like the 2012 election petition case.

GREATNESS IS IN YOU, NOT FORMAL EDUCATION
Formal education is good and if you are handed the opportunity, attain its highest degree but greatness resides in you. Dear new SHS leavers out there. things might not happen the way you planned them, do not be depressed, do not take your lives. There is absolutely nothing that you can not do in this world as long as you have the most powerful part (the human mind), you can do all things. Do no always lament over the fact that you did well but no financial helper. Do the re-sit if you do not do well in your exams, if you will not, do not sit idle, go for other education... Success has a direct link with education(knowledge) but not only through formal education (class room education)... The outside world has proven to give practical knowledge than formal education over the years...
Akua Donkor with little education is living well and managed to get two cars and a house from JDM. Shatta wale with only basic education is taking over Ghana with his music, bought a $2m mansion and with an SM empire. Asamoah Gyan with little education is a celebrated footballer and bought a $4m mansion. Delay dropped out of University even at final year...She's still in a comfortable lead. Sarkodie one Ghana's celebrated rappers I hear has had a tertiary education but as at the start of his greatness was with only basic education What then am I saying? GREATNESS RESIDES IN YOU, NOT IN FORMAL EDUCATION... The intellectuals will understand this piece...

YOU HAVE MADE ONE OF THE GREATEST CONTRIBUTION EVER ON THE GHANAWEB SITE AND YOU DESERVE AN INTERNATIONAL PRIZE FOR YOUR THOUGHT. YOU ALSO DESERVE TO BE APPOINTED TO A POSITION WHERE YOU CAN MAKE SUGGESTIONS FOR POLICY FORMULATION AND IMPLEMENTATION IN EDUCATION IN GHANA. AFRICA IS LAGGING BEHIND IN DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE OUR EDUCATION HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT ACQUIRING QUALIFICATIONS BY HOOK OR CROOK AND SO STUDENTS DO ALL THEY CAN INCLUDING PAYING FOR LEAKED EXAM PAPERS, JUST TO ACQUIRE QUALIFICATIONS FOR JOBS. THE RESULT IS THAT, GHANAIANS AND AFRICANS ARE NO PROBLEM SOLVERS AND SO WE HAVE EDUCATED PEOPLE WITH QUALIFICATIONS AND ARE STILL ENGULFED IN DIRT AND FILTH CHOCKING OUR DRAINS, CAUSING KILLER FLOODS WHEN IT RAINS. WE HAVE BECOME SO DEPENDENT OF QUALIFICATIONS ONLY AND SO APPOINT THE WRONG PEOPLE INTO JOBS THEY ARE NOT CAPABLE OF HANDLING, BECAUSE OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM DOES NOT HAVE A CRITICAL THINKING ELEMENT OR COMPONENT. JUST THIS MORNING, I WAS THINKING ABOUT JOSEPH, ONE OF THE TWELVE SONS OF JACOB IN THE BIBLE, WHO HAD NOT FORMAL EGYPTIAN EDUCATION. HE WAS A SHEPHERD BOY LIKE HIS BROTHERS, THEN SOLD INTO SLAVERY AND THEN IMPRISONED IN EGYPT, BUT BECAUSE OF HIS GOD GIVEN WISDOM, JOSEPH ROSE FROM OBSCURITY TO BECOME THE PRIME MINISTER OF EGYPT, SECOND IN COMMAND TO THE PHAROAH OF HIS TIME. GOD GIVES WISDOM AND MAKES PEOPLE GREAT AND SO GREATNESS IS NOT IN MERE FORMAL EDUCATION. YOU DESERVE THE NOBEL PRIZE FOR YOUR GREAT CONTRIBUTION HERE.

Jones Dotse dealt a blow to NDC though he was from the Volta region which is perceived by many Ghanaians as stronghold of NDC , Jones Dotse did not support the NDC case also at the election petition of 2012 but made his judgement as clear as honest base on merits of the case in question unlike Atubuga who took the side NDC because the sitting president hails from the same region with him
Dotse is trustworthy for the high position so let NADAA let him have and it suffice the Voltarian to know that they are well placed in this government of NPP too

if Ghana belongs to Akans. then Tell your Akan President to quickly change the Name Ghana to AKANA Nation
Great comeback KK. Kudos to you on the response.
I'm Akan, and Ashanti at that. Ghana belongs to every tribe in Ghana. No one is better than the other. #ONEGHANA
They hit akans because akans are dormineering
And Akans hate Ewes
I hardly hear Ewes say they hate Akans but have heard Akans said it on countless times. Hmmm just observing from afar
I CAN'T REMEMBER EXACTLY HOW IT WAS SPELLED BUT ALONG WITH MINA AND CROMANTEEN CAME THE NAME, WITH ITS PEOPLE THE ACCANICIANS.
What is Wrong with you? Such prejudice must be eradicated from Ghana. We're Ghanaians first.
As an Akan person like me, I'm really offended by your statement.
Please refrain from such racial remarks.
All those guys hitting at ewes are NDC faithfuls who want to create enmity between Akans and Ewes for their hollow political gains using Alan names for that purpose
