    Don,t be stupid. Was the n1 highway named after g.w. bush to maintain?. If you name ur child after some one u want him/her to behave like that person. So should the edifice.

    Kaneshie is a National asset to be maintained by National Sports Authority and MOYS. They are the only people with authorization to do that. Please leave Azumah alone. He has a right to express himself.
