    Which is better? NHIS card or Identification by ANY TWO GHANAIANS? (2) NHIS card or Driving Licence? So many Nigerians, Malians, Togolese, Ivorians holding Ghanaian Driving License. How many Ghanaians NEED Driving licence so ...

    How else can we lose sleep and get stressed about simple orders. We do so bcos law is about INTERPRETATION. If you have a point of view all you do is speak well and use jargons and you ...

  • Prof Lungu 7 years ago

    We also read Dr. Atuguba's essay. That paper is a strong one.

    So, there is a statement in this report that says, "cleaned or deleted immediately".

    We do not know where that one comes from.

    If it comes from Lawyer A ...

    Constitution, we make the following orders:

    delete or as ...

    KKO,
    Thanks for the notes!

    But sure, we can read, (and write too)!

    We did not claim we've read that original order.

    Which we have not!

    And so, we said, "If it comes from Lawyer Asare, we would want to know from ...

    Media, would rather turn to a partisan, and a bean-counter like Kwaku Azar, to confuse the public even further!

  • BOY KOFI 7 years ago

    I,Joe the plumber understand that the SC ordered EC to delete names of 3 groups from the voters register by complying the provisions of the 1992 Constitution,and applicable laws of Ghana.It seems Prof.Asare is confused,at one ...

    EC , PLEASE TELL US HOW SOON SHOULD THE DELETION HAPPEN?

  • Ay3ka 7 years ago

    Thinking of this strange character, who foolishly thinks too highly of himself!
    Like Kweku Baako, this neophyte Attorney, has managed to convince himself that, he is the 'best gift' from God Almighty to this country!

  • Anansi 7 years ago

    Thank you, dear Sir.

  • samson 7 years ago

    Law prof, there is no where in the ruling where the supreme court used the word unconstitutional. You are rather planting this word in to cause confusion. Go back and read it again.

  • kofi Gbagbladza 7 years ago

    NPP professor, u are dead wrong. You lied bad. Who told u if sth is declared unconstitutional is void.,Who told u that the accrued rights are void. In fact, u are deceiving us professor asare. Don't foresee chaos.

  • npp nima 7 years ago

    IF THE EC WAS ASKED TO DELETE NAMES FROM THE REGISTER, THE COURT MEANT THAT IT SHOULD BE DONE APPROPRIATELY AND NOT TO TAKE A PEN AND START CANCELLING NAMES. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE EC IS TRYING TO DO. LET THE LMVC AND THE N ...

    LOOKS TO ME THAT NDC ARE MORE SCARED THAN NPP IN THIS NHIS CARD DELETION ISSUE. IS IT BECAUSE NDC STANDS TO LOOSE MORE THAN NPP OR MORE NDC PEOPLE HAVE DIED MORE THAN NPP PEOPLE OR MORE NDC MINORS REGISTERED MORE THAN NPP MI ...

    This thing is sufficiently fishy!

  • GH 7 years ago

    Prof Asare has admitted that all is not well with the ruling, arguing his disagreement on why the order for immediate deletion does not amount to declaration of the NHIS names null and void. So what has removed the ambiguity ...

    You call yourself a lawyer but your small skull don't you know that it will be unconstitutional for the supreme Court to backdate what was legal b4 it's ruling?. You think the supreme Court has the power to do that?

    All those crazy commentators saying the SC ruling was not clear are NDC apparatchiks. They've all formed groups or small political parties to disrupt Ghana's smooth quest to achieve greatness, under Nana Akufo-Addo and the NP ...
