Pass the foreigner rental bill
All Landlords renting to foreigners for stay must register their tenants details at the nearest police station. Invest in the infrastructure- you won't be disappointed.
This is done in China to prevent crime and abuse by foreigners in China. Failure to comply is 6 months in jail and a fine.
What criminal would want their details at the police station? So Ghana becomes unattractive for nigerian scammers.

Even though for other reasons I think that the Prempeh guy was definitely a wrong choice to even be a member of that CRC, the opinion of this Yaw Boafo beats all the nonsense coming from law practitioners in this country. He surely must be on something that ain't right. He must be an NPP member in good standing because I can't fathom why anybody else out of that delusional orbit of retards would say such a thing. So by his warped and very disrespectful reasoning, if you are not a lawyer - and to boot, you are not a lawyer who can practice in this country, then you are not capable of using your God-given brains? We see lawyers vandalizing state property, physically assaulting and insulting colleagues - nowhere else than in the house of parliamentarians where the most sacrosanct aspects of the law are expected to be maintained. We the ordinary people have witnessed senior judges who have unduly compromised their profession with corrupt practices. We have even witnessed a Chief Justice who has had to be reluctantly sacked for bending the rules and infringing on her responsibilities for personal and political gain. What again do we need to see to tell us that people who study law and practice law are not necessarily angels but are just like the rest of us ordinary mortals. The public is kind of getting fed up with the pompous and arrogant posture of people who think they are superior only because they chose to study law.

How can u compare ur compentence to someone that has studied a Constitution that has gone through more than 20 amendments. What do u actually practice here? Litigation thievery with no sense of personal conviction. How many of u practitioners here have been on public interest advocacy than those of trained in the states? Which of your so called members have been much involved in shapping our democracy publicly than Prof Kwasi Prempeh and Azar? Do u know why most of us trained out there are not interested in your BAR and prefer to even do something else when we move down? Your practice is as horrible as your robe ie intimidating robe same way the British nobles Lord themselves during the enslavement. So u better reshape ur thinking and bullying attitude to make ur BAR attractive.

What did the Ghana Bar Association say-WHEN TANI, ARROGANT-DWARF Akuffo Addo was ABUSING HIS POWERS? Akuffo Addo should have need called to order for refusing to meet 98 of his NPP MPs who were ACTIMNG IN THE GHANA NATIONAL INTEREST to remove HIS COUSIN Ken Ofori Atta who was causing financial loss-ECONOMICALLY to Mother Ghana.

Yaw Boafo what you are saying is very sensible but ask yourself whether your own attitude in the last few years didn’t play a part in all this nonsense. You were a President of the Ghana Bar for sometime and you had the opportunity to defend and preserve the INSTITUTION AND TIME TESTED PRINCIPLES. Did you do that? What’s the score card of your r stewardship? There are so many NDC SYMPATHIZERS who tried and failed to qualify as Lawyers called to the bar in Ghana. All they want to do is to destroy the strong democratic, sensible and I independent institutions that can standup and defend arbitrariness and dictatorship. Well , let’s see what eventually happens. Is this the Ghana we’ve known all along? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Some of our colleagues just open is up for needless insults. Indeed there is no law which says there must be a practising lawyer duly called to the ghana bar to be the chair of the CRC. So where from this thinking! I feel hugely embarrassed for this Kumasi lawyer. In fact his question as to why Mahama did not implement tje CRC of Atta Mills, l wish he had Akufo Addo close beside him. He was in power for eight solid years. We have not forgotten hi politically drenched speech made some years ago

Subsidise petrol to reduce petrol cost not cedi dollar, it's still why things are so expensive. This is how China's economy grew.
Subsidise petrol to make it cost less, this will drive down prices and encourage alot and alot job creation, more consumer spend for you to make your money back through taxation.
Ghanaians will have alot to money left to save for projects.
It also strengthens the cedi against the dollar, inflation...so you don't need to artificially pump billions of dollars to create artificial strong cedi. Instead use it to subsidise petrol. Cedi will stabilise naturally.
5 yrs jail and a fine for smugglers. For benefit of Ghana and Ghanaians ONLY
They focused on dollar and not petrol and wonder why economy never worked.
You get 2 for 1 bargain..Ghana what are we doing struggling? lack of knowledge

Lawyers still believe they are some special species. Those I have seen recently do not confirm this - the level of reasoning, intellectual capacity, integrity, and professionalism do not point to any special talents. This is the kind of archaic elitism that has created a group of people in Ghana that believe they are above the rest of us.

Nonsense!! This idiocy that only lawyers called to the bar and belong to the GBA are the wisest and smartest people to do everything in Ghana is a mental illness that must be cured. We have seen very stupid lawyers who belong to GBA and they abound, including you. You lack home sense. These kinds of comments are the very reason GBA must be expunged from the constitution. Arrogant sense of entitlement.
