SORY BE VERY CAREFUL OF THESE ROGUE CLIENTS

Thaddeus Sory don’t behave as if you can walk on water. You are pushing things too far. How can clerical errors appear all through and across multiple jurisdictions? These problem clients will push you into trouble and destroy your reputation. Your work is known and I can say that you are a good Lawyer. These days you are supporting unpopular causes and picking trouble and problematic clients. Pls refrain from such slippery banana skins. Remember that some kind of dirt never goes away. A word to the wise ……………

This couldn't have happened without an explicit collaboration with Ghanaian officials. Corruption if not rooted out will destroy the country

Corruption is the cause of all these things. Yes, corruption is the main 'vocation' of our civil servants! Please don't look too far. It is happening right under the nose of the all the authorities that are to see to it that things are done lawfully. BTW, these days the 'whole office' including the bosses openly partake in the free for all 'orgy of corruption' that is the order of the day in Ghana. Our police, civil servants, judicial system and politicians are the main problem! We are all part of the problem!!

This is very simple there are Directors, Supervisors etc. Arrest all of them to serve as deterrent to future corrupt officers. Very soon Ghana passport will have that kind of scrutiny wherever you take it as is done with birth certificate and all documents from Ghana. Currently DVLA led by Julius are opening offices all over Ghana and delivering licences like tomatoes at Madina market and nobody is saying anything. It is just ridiculous that these important documents are able to be obtained in Ghana easily and the authorities are not concerned about the consequences.

The government tried as much as it could to protect the Ghana card from falling into wrong hands; they need to change its name to Nigeria Card.
Those serial commentators here needs to find themselves job and stop posting nonsense.

There’s a lot of lack of attention to detail too. My brother was born at Tema General Hospital on 31st May. When they went to register him, it was recorded as 13th May. He now has two birthdays.

India would not have even made this NEWS over there.
Ghana needs a Trump like figure. No beating about the bush here. Mahama's catch and release tactics with corrupt people must stop ASAP. And Ghanaians know why Mahama is doing that. It will back fire on his administration soon. Governance is not being nice,it's about doing the right thing. Ok
