There are many fields where Ghana lacks the needed expertise. To solve this problem the government of Ghana has over the decades made scholarships available for the needed human resource to be trained abroad. In some cases so many people were sent and not even one returned. If you know you are not prepared to work and live in Ghana and would therefore not return do not take the scholarships.
The Takoradi Poly Students who were sacked for applying with fake certificates must be prosecuted in a court of competent jurisdiction. Just sacking them is not enough.
Nowadays businesses and government organisations have stopped demanding Secondary School Certificate or Basic Education Certificate.
Each of these certificates are important. For example for many tertiary graduates the only certificate that can tell whether one can speak good English or whether one has adequate knowledge of Mathematics is the Secondary School Certificate.
Similarly the only certificate that can tell whether a tertiary graduate has basic knowledge of Ghanaian history, culture, agriculture and the basic geography of West Africa is the Basic Education Certificate.

It is really disheartening when those of us in the Savannah area in Ghana are so eager to co-operate with timber contractors to destroy our already depleted forests. The report has it that the harvesting of wood for lamber is common in the Gonja districts. It is even worse in Kpandae district. All those who knew Kpandae before 1991 will weep if they should go there today. Every big tree that can be split into boards is felled and sold. The chiefs, assemblymen and all those who matter are involved. Yet when one talks, everybody asks for evidence before action is taken. And we all know that in Ghana when it comes to providing evidence, money buries the truth. No one seems to see, to know and to acknowledge that a particular person allows the indiscriminate felling of trees; yet everyday the forest shrink. I think, as a nation, we must go beyond talking and reporting. We must arrest and prosecute those involved and task them to plant and take care of trees as their life time sentence. They should not be imprisoned.
