I like what GTEC is doing. Extend it to the religious leaders who are using same titles.
What a shame! Politrickcians will never cease to amaze. It's not their fault their supporters are mainly ignorant
Thieves and criminals in government. Ghana is doomed under this NDCeivers party.
Ghana was doomed under npp kleptomaniacs, now being saved by NDC country reset
An NDC Foolish Soldier
@K is an NPP rat shit soup drinker.... toilet self is better than @K
Africans and titles. If you don't call an assembly man or woman or an MP honourable they become angry. The pastors and wealthy East Legon cocaine dwellers who use the title 'Dr' by heart must be next.
How did the awarding of Honorary doctorate come about ? If the person on whom it is conferred cannot use the title then why do you give it to him in the first place
Absolutely, Ghana has a problem
Did you witness them dealing in cocaine? Eei, you 3^2 folks and jealousy.
Hello youth of Ghana. You can take your own life with medicine...for instance 10 paracetamol at once...or combine medicine and akpeteshie or weedicide.
Hello youth of Ghana, don’t commit suicide. Anyone calling for others to kill themselves will rot in hell.
Typical NDC FOOL-SOLDIER

You're insulting people for their academic achievements but in paragraph 6 of your comment, you wrote "it is knew" instead of "it is known ". You see your level of stupidity

So what will those sanctions be? Go to prison? Which is very unlikely or what.? I find it even funny. When I was a kid a guy used to shout "Dr woma" meaning he repairs fufu pestles, how about him??? Funny eeeehh??
Azaa government NDC is so disgraceful
Oh, disgraceful Akuffo Addo! You got a 3rd class as a university student, and then you scammed your way by calling yourself a lawyer for over 40 years. Nana Addo kromfuor
Too many fools in the NDC. Why did John Airbus Mahama offered history in the university? He was a weak student. No university could have given him any program to pursue. Look at the number of fake certificate holders in the N ...

there are also 3rd class lawyers, Maurice Ampaw is one.
Good work GTEC
Why are we obsessed with academic titles?It looks as if we are ppl who lack self confidence .Hardly would you see or hear a Russian Professor using his academic credentials.
.
@Kwaku, you couldn't have said it any better. Ghanaians and blacks in general are so obsessed with titles purely because they lack self-confidence. They're more interested in titles than what they can do in real life.
Well done GTEC. Prosecute all those who will violate this regulation.
GTEC shd target MCs and Okyeame at social functions including funerals, church festivals etc When they misuse those titles they sue them.GHC10,000 fine will be a good start.
Some Principals of some public Colleges of Education are also using the titles,' Prof & Dr' titles. Meanwhile, they have no PhDs.
Good one GTEC you deserve an award fpr the good work you are doing for Ghana.
While using academic titles not earned is distasteful, GTEC has no real authority to sanction anyone. What really is it going to do? Arrest them? Stupid
GTEC can name and shame. This will reduce the attraction of using unearned titles by Ghanaians.
Nonsense...is honorable doc.not a title earned?..to your info.. some earn I a classroom writing while others earn it on the field work.
Where do expect them to use it ..in their grave?
@Shit hole, it's always good to hide your ignorance. Not surprising at all that you're called Shit hole.
Ndc stealing titles then what will they do for our money
Oh, disgraceful Nana Akuffo Addo! You got a 3rd class as a university student, and then you scammed your way by calling yourself a lawyer for over 40 years. Nana Addo kromfuor
Correction What will they do to our money
Remind us that Computer and Sansa D have been warned. Specify and question why these are all NDC guy. Ghanaweb, you could have done better.
All are NDC members , God forgives, the party of criminals
These are all signs of dishonest behavior. Why use a title which you have not earned? Ghanaians love titles too much which is just self aggrandizement.
This must be extended to churches, herbal clinics where owners have no formal education etc etc

Prof Kaba Akoryea.Director General, Ghana Health Services. Hmmmm.

Medical doctors and witch doctors can equally be titled Dr. by vitrue of their professions.
What about Despite and Ofori Sarpong? Don’t you know that these rich illiterates have been using the fake Dr. titles for too long?

And of course the many pastors in town using fake Dr ...

Kwame Nkrumah has no PhD
What kind pf political party is the NDC? Is it an assembly of criminals? From corruption, stealing, killings, destruction of State property, and now to fake academic degrees, aba
Nana Addo and Shiek IC Quaye are the trailblazers. They claim professions they have never produced certificates to prove they ever studied for
That Aryee woman and SpuonGarbrah should be written to
Why not write to Kwaku Oteng, Despite, Ofori Sarpong, Agyepong and co. as well?
Maybe you stop these schools from awarding those honorary doctorates
NDC and mediocrity. Nkwasiasem nkoaaa. Is being a doctor by force?
Why this craze for using unearned titles?It's nation wide and covers all sectors of d nation.It should be made a crime for d practice to stop.
So if u don't use Dr. What will happen ?
That is Mahama administration for you. Where if you fake your certificate you can be given appointment. If you are caught, all the security apparatus will keep mute. This has embodied people to do more. Very sad
What an embarrassment!!!! In a power distant country such as ours where people glorify titles without any probing track record this is what happens. This is also corruption and they must be prosecuted
It’s only in Africa that you see people so obsessed with titles. You hardly hear people from the West addressed by their titles. My University professor at Teesside Uni (UK) was always addressed by his first name; the same ...

Very prevalent among the religious fraternity. A lot of them are 'bought' from dubious institutions.A lot of the men of God are using honorary doctoral titles.
GTEC should focus on improving quality of tertiary education rather than these mundane things which doesn’t affect anyone. If the person is not using the title in any academic environment what harm does it cause. Focus atte ...

How about Dr Dr Osei Kwame Despite and the numerous herbalist on TV calling themselves Doctors?
Osei Kwame Despite don’t use that titles on his Name! And he has done something to deserve those titles, what about these villagers!!!
Nkomo Aban!!! Fake people!! If you guys want those titles, learn from NPP!! Go to school!!! Get education! They all envy NPP!
And all these idiots are all the members of the ndc,PhD,to Profs to Dr titles, useless fools
Are u afraid to issue such warnings to Bryan acheampong
When lawless party is ruling, no law works and people love this group, it tells you how weak the multitude.
And these criminals are bold enough to walk free bcos they're in power.
Law must work in this country.
Warning is not enough. Be bold ant take necessary action against them. Period!!!
All fake Dr users will be exposed. Dishonest buffoons using the tile anyhow. The President should demote all fake Dr users. Too much dishonesty and corruption everywhere you look.

The mp for Amenfi West (Asankrangwa) uses same honorary title with pride. Send him a letter haha
Yes Doctah! Fine Doctah!
Ghanaians glorify TITLES too much. You address an Mp as Mr or Mrs and suddenly he or she gets angry for not being addressed as Honorable.or Dr. This is bull shit. Folks cut it off.
What about Dr. Kwame Kyei; Dr. Kwame Despite; Elder Dr. Mireku (gospel musician) etc.
Stop this shit! Where were u morons when that foolish Addai was parading as a prof, when we all knew he is fake! Idiots

Make them tell despite them all make them then we go take them serious. You can’t do selective justice and expect compliance
If a medical doctor can be called a Dr. why can't a witch doctor be called same?
Extend this to the Honorable been used by corrupt and thieves politicians and instead use Mr. Because there’s no honorable person in Ghana now
What about Kwame despite?
Very shameful and disgraceful.
Is it not a crime? Just asking.
This is needless. Write to them privately. Is the objective to shame them?
Send them to court if they fail to comply to the directives.
Very soon they "ll ask Professor Azuma Nelson of Hall of Fame to drop his title of Prof..
Kudos to GTEC. This is what we have all waited for.
The shameless behaviours of using titles one has not academically earned must be eradicated from our society.
If they continue on this path, prosecute them.
GTEC, respectfully, investigate the Doctorate degrees of Adam Bonaa, Randy Abbey, Nana Agyemang Badu II and Spio Garbrah. Ghanaians would be happy to know the accredited Universities that awarded the degrees to them. Thank yo ...

By force and cheap Dr. Randy Abbey. So if u dont use Dr. Randy Abbey, what will really happen? Some people actually use Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr so so and so . smh
GTEC, please zoom your search on the VC of Ho Technical University. His PhD is suspect. Besides, he is more than sixty years, yet he has managed to renew his term of office.
LEAVE THEM ALONE EVEN YOU PEOPLE HONOR ASSEMBLYMEN AS HONORABLE.
THE MP'S DON'T EVEN DESERVE HONORS.
ARE THEY JUDGES? OR A PRESIDENT
Good job ... BUT why should it seem like you are more fixated on the NDC members?
Focus also on the NPP sympathisers, supporters, and members and you will be shocked at what you'll uncover.
If you want to be called Dr or Prof go to school.
The other day I saw a label Dr attached to the MP for Ketu North, Edem Agbana. Is he using Dr attached to his name ? If so, then GTEC must find out why.
This is madness. They should be arrested and charged. Is it that without those titles their names are not worth mentioning or what. The party shd sanction them.
Does former MP for Ketu North, Klutse Avedzi have Dr attached to his name ? When did he earn it ?
What about Professor Azumah Nelson?
!! A discovery by Swiss scientists has completely changed the approach to treating hypertension.
Now you can get rid of pressure spikes on your own -- ja.cat/hype
But Kwame Nkrumah himself used the title Dr. He had not earned any academic Ph.D by way of research and thesis. He was just given an honorary doctorate by some American university.
Rt Rev DR AGRA DAA earned Doctorate degree from TEGARE school of divinity. Mama Pat anaaaa , me tads no , waben s3 nsrama
It's a violation of their freedom of expression and as long as they are not profiting from these titles. What if I choose to add 'Doctor' as my name?. An honorary doctorate is precisely that , an honor and should be manifest ...
