    Kofi,

    Well done for devoting your time to write this. Obviously, those in charge of Ghana "no get sense" and I doubt if they'd follow these sane measures you outlined even if thrust into their wide noses and ears! Practica ...

    Ghost workers are everywhere. I wonder how their checks are cashed. Moron nation.
