    Akosua Sakyiwaa is one of the kindest Ashanti women. There are worse ones like Konadu Agyemang-Rawlings. See how she has reduced JJ to nothing.

    Lack of discipline and respect is a result of poor raising at home. You know very well majority of Ghanaians are likewise.

    Health Care Assistant is NOT a Nurse. This headline is misleading.
    This does not in anyway reduce this serious allegation.

  • the truth 12 years ago

    Abuse is abuse, and whether it is committed by a rocket scientist or a neurosergeon it does not change it.

    We should be discussing why this is a potential problem rather than whether she is a medical officer or a janitor.

  • D/Sgt. Nuamah 12 years ago

    What do you mean they are illitrate, i guess they get the necessary training before or on the job training. Without them too the job will be difficult for the nurse to do.
