Shameless NDC
Author: Obibini Kwame, Santa Maria, Accra. Posted: 2012-07-29 07:54:36 Shameless idiots. Do you now see the wisdom in Kufuor's logic in building the presidential palace. NDC promised to use the presidential palace for poultry farm why now usung it as cemetry? NDC is full of propagandists.
A Lasting National Tribute Needed
Author: Tekonline.org Posted: 2012-07-29 09:02:40 I always tell my relatives that with all the hoopla about funerals, they are just 48-hour events after which everybody disappears and forgets about the deceased and the bereaved. Funeral service bulletins get lost in household detritus.
I humbly think the time has come to have a LONGER-LASTING memorial for natinal figures, like "National Hall of Heroes", a kind of museum, where all prominent statesmen , pioneers, freedom fighters, and those who globally lifted high the name of Ghana, etc, can be honored and lives and deeeds revealed to Ghanaians.
It could also be fitting to name new institutions to highlight what the national heroes stood for: for instance, "The John Evans Atta Mills Center for Peaceful Governance....", etc
And as was admirably done for the late Ferdinand Ayim,
a series of ANNUAL memorial lectures are always in order.
Just some thoughts.
OUTCAST RAWLINGS MUST NOT ATTEND FUNERAL
Author: Landlord Posted: 2012-07-29 11:27:27 There is no way the NDC should allow the grief stricken Mills family and grieving Ghanaians to be insulted by the presence of Rawlings or Konadu at the funeral of President mills. This wicked couple have caused enough hurt and pain already as a result of their sustained attacks and consistently vindictive behaviour towards Presdent Mills while he was alive. It is quite clear that Rawlings wished the death of Mills when he made crude and incredibly hurtful references to "Atta Mortuary man"when he was still alive.Of course we must all remember that Rawlings will live forever. What a diabolical man Rawlings is!
Internment should be at Nkurumah Mesoul
Author: D. A .Asare Asiedu- Bs Germany. Posted: 2012-07-29 11:45:01 I hould think,the internment of the the late president should take place at the giant Kwame Nkurumah mesoleum to honour such an iconic accademic who obtained his Phd degree at the age of 27 and became the hub of the school of Law in Ghana, and later as president of the Nation.He is deserved to be honoured in this manner.

JJ's TRIBUTE
Author: Paa Joe Posted: 2012-07-29 20:05:41 The PNDC did not only gag the press, but cultivated what became known as the ’culture of silence’24 which the chairman of the PNDC himself had cause to talk about in a speech in Sunyani in April 1987. By PNDCL 211 and other powers available to it, the government silenced all independent newspapers which had been on the newstands on the eve of the 31 December coup d’ etat which included the Free Press, Catholic Standard, Pioneer, Palaver, Punch, Echo, Direction and Workers Banner. A gradual but intense attack was launched on the newspapers by schemes such as direct assaults, an example being in 1983 when cadres of the revolution invaded the offices of the Echo, assaulted the staff, destroyed equipment and set the premises on fire. Viciims of anacks on journaiisis inciuded Kabral Blay Amihere, editor of the Independent and Kwesi Pratt. In due course, the Catholic Standard was banned. Through the Castle Information Bureau (C1B) headed by Mrs. Valerie Sackey, the government strengthened its hold over the state-owned press and information flow within and outside of the country. Through the Bureau, propaganda-laced information was fed to the Ghanaian public through the print and electronic media. Editorials were ’ghost’ written from the Castle and articles published under pseudonyms or ’special correspondents’.
One area which the PNDC’s record was far from satisfactory was the area of human rights abuses which could pass as the worst in Ghana’s political history. By laws such as The Preventive Custody Law (PNDCL 4), The Habeas Corpus Amendment Law (PNDCL 91), the Newspaper Licensing Law (PNDCL 211), and sections of the Public Tribunal Law (PNDCL 78) the government dealt with political offenses, imposed the death penalty and denied the superior courts’ supervisory role over the Public Tribunals. By proscribing the writs of Habeas Corpus, Certiorari, Prohibition, Mandamus and Quo Warranto - through Which the individual’s rights and liberty were protected by the High Court, using its inherent and supervisory powers - the liberty of the Ghanaian was, to say the least severely limited. The PNDCL 4 extended the government’s power to ’authorize the arrest and detention of any person in respect of whom they are’satisfied that it is in the interest of the national security’ to do so. PNDC Law 91, Section 2(2) was more repressive. Under this law , it was deemed sufficient to state in the report to any court the provisions (grounds) stated in the executive instrument by which the detention of the detainee was authorized. Therefore ’the High Court or the judge thereof shall have no power to enquire such grounds’. Consequently, no citizen, even if wrongfully detained, could bring a case of Hebeas Corpus before any court to secure his freedom as it was sufficient to refer to the section stated in the PNDC’s executive instrument authorizing such action.
