Some people want to ignore the fact that our nation overwhelmingly voted for change and not for a continuation of the old values but different criminals . They deny the the people wanted a total halt and u turn from the further islamisation , retrogression , primitiveness and irresponsible selfish corruption of our leaders so wish to seriously disappoint us with their stupidity. Some deputy minister came and told our people to stop whining and didnt even get sacked because that is the general attitude or mindset of our ruling elite who think the people are there to serve him and his cronies to get rich and not he to serve the interests of the people . We see they do everything not to ensure the well-being of our people but cause distress , frustration , poverty , despair and systematically erase all positive potentials in favor of toxic situations and problems that will take 50 years or more to rectify. Another air-brained idiot minister comes out with glee to announce who are investors are so we get Turkey , China , Russia , Brasil , UAE but none with the ability to make available new technology or future markets we desire or are worth competing in.One the basic rules to industrialization is the acquisition of technologies in the form of sustainable profitable businesses and when that is done the desirable capital follows , thats what even China Japan or Germany did. They pay lip service to our desire for jobs and industrialization but when it comes to actually doing something they have their arms stretched. For example our IGP came out to say the police are poorly equipped yet we know there are several proposals to set up a pistol making factory , produce our own explosives /gun powder , uniforms etc from mainly christian democracies in Europe and the USA but all these are ignored because the diaspora promoters will not or cant afford to bribe our politicians so our police die in absurd stupid situations like what happened at Lapaz. Yes we are aware of over 50,000 in words fifty thousand proposals , ideas , factories , processing plants that our industrious Akan and the diaspora have developed over the past 150 years but what happens . The concepts or ideas are stolen , watered down and offered to Chinese and whatever toxic capital is out there and the promoters /developers killed , marginalized or in some other way destroyed so we get eventually half baked , incomplete white elephant projects like VALCO and such. Our self centered leaders and their arrogant political appointees are so sell indulged they fail to take heed to the world trends and secure a better future . Another example of an easy 3 million jobs we throw away because we refuse to think strategically is in tourism , instead of organizing that almost every household has one tourist standardized room and mobilizing our diaspora to encourage and support our tourism we choose to litter our landscape with edifices and buildings of terror/ fear , mosques. All Islamic countries or fake secular states are now loosing billions and instead of us capitalizing on this we alienate ourselves from the 15 to 30 billion dollars we could make per year by accepting all year round up 10 million christian tourists and continue to approve building of mosques even in police stations . I will elaborate over the next few months why we will not achieve within the next 15 years a robust economy of 500 billion dollars GDP even thouh its doable. We sould seriously consider going to war to attain true freedom for our Akan people as there seems to be no peaceful way with this corrupt political oligarchy of fools .

I feel we should all be reasonable and not lay blame to any particular groups of persona or entity, the fact of the matter is though this was quite unfortunate you can't blame anyone(And for all the snakes that will try to call me an NPP snake, I'm NDC) it's expected for these security officers to lay down their lives in service of the country if need be, my soul burns with passion for the governing bodies to seek justice and make our street short on two less hooligans but I won't sit here and blame anyone person or entity for what happened, it happened and we must learn from it not call the defense minister to parliament to question him over something that was unforeseeable, quality training withstanding

why should the defence minister be called? it should be rather the interior minister who is responsible for all internal security in the country.

Let me also add the fact that the government should have envisaged this in the wake of banning Galsmsey.
Most of this criminals were operating in the galamsey areas so they have come to town.

Excellent points raised. This Lapaz incident is strictly a brazen criminal act which falls under the umbrella of the Interior ministry, (and if deemed very serious, the involvement of the Ministry of nation security---more from an internal security threat perspective).
The knee jerk action of parliament in this case (as in others) shows clearly the misunderstanding and lack of legislative sense of our honourable parliamentarians!
On a serious note this action by our parliament strongly supports and butresses the points and pronounciations of Sydney Casley-Hayford recently about parliament/parliamentarians, for which he is being dragged to parliament for contempt.
Sad Sydney Casley-Hayford now appears to be retracting his pronouncements, he should rather choose to appear before the parliamentary committe and explain with illustrations why he said what he said, which in my opinion was spot on, except that we Ghanaians are worried and afraid to say/face the truth.

This is a matter for the interior department. Bringing the defence minister in for questioning will be misguided.

The former Defence Minister failed the police service big time and the former IGP. The Police should have vehicles at their disposal 24/7 and this should be the case for every police station. Also equipment to combat crime serious crime not readily available to police. Ghana is promoting tourism yet failing to address armed robbery in the country.This should be a priority as armed robbery is on the increase in Ghana.

5A 5000 YEARS OLD SECRET JINNI FORMULA THAT UNLOCKS THE MYSTERIES OF WEALTH AND SUCCES “THE HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING” A SECRET FORMULA unwritten until now, Remember the KINGS and their fabulous wealth? Even today the tomb of the KINGS yields spectacular quantities of GOLD, SILVER, and DIAMONDS AND OTHER PRECIOUS STONES. How did they ever amass these incredible riches? The ANSWER is given in this strongly HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING. The wearer of this RING gets AUTOMATICALLY anything wants he in his life, for e.g. MONEY, FAME, SUCCESS, HAPPINESS, LOVE, POWER, LUCK and so on, they are all yours 17 you are wearing the HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING. If you cannot see the light from where you stand perhaps you has been standing behind a pillar all this time. The appropriate time has now come for you to knock off aside the pillar which has been obstructing your success all these days and if you cannot knock off this pillar at least move out from behind it and see what all awaits you in this universe. Through the Gracious help of great GURU (SAGE) this hidden RING is brought out with a bold assert that no man has upon this world to pass away unannounced. Nobody is to bear a perpetual burden of privation and to court death as the ultimate resort beyond also suffering. This word of happiness is equally desired to be shared by all, but here are many who ping for it and in the long run fall a victim to relentless time not even able to make both the ends meet the other flourish happily in the lap of luxury and pleasure and roll on the bed of wealth. On the hold this GREAT RING after the performance of necessary ceremonies does not fall a prey to any serious malady, his life may be extended to one hundred years, fire, water and air cannot tarnish or destroy this person. He will never in any danger of calamity. Spirits, Demons, Evil of bad Luck, Evil spirits, Black magic will submit to him and never dare do any always pass their time in safety. The nine planets always smile upon them and even KINGs bear submission. This mysterious Ring is the best filler of all desire fear, Grief’s miseries etc. cannot appreciate to the door of the wearer: A person accounted with the RING may turn the council to see his opposes turn dump and loose the power of speech. It is the desire of the great GURU (SAGE) rather my behest that every person of means should hold this great RING which is permanent in stopping premature death. It is a river of vast wealth and reputation apenerial sources of fame and prosperity and the great amulet and charm of the world. Hold this Ring and make your life Glorious and great. Highly Efficacious. Life long and Durable. The cost of this power is too great but because on the special request of the world, I am charging all the devotees only a little amount of G300.84 you can contact Blacksun or WhatsApp me+233547122212)
