Alhaji, as the Board Chairman, how long ago had this gone on and where had you been without raising a fingure till the Press had to bring it out?

The Amadu I knew and served together with on the National Food Evacuation Committee (Independence Square) as a young graduate then and the Greater Accra Regional representative on the committee in the early 80s was such a vibrant reliable patriot nationalist and honest person that he will never get himself in such dirty petty deals and more so when he is so much politically matured and an outstanding MP who cares for the vulnerables.

I strongly belief in his sincerity, trustworthiness, friendliness, easy approach and professionalism. I'm even doubting how he's not appointed a minister till now for his loyalty and consistency with the NDC party.

Corruption is dangerously sinking the image of our dear nation as if it's become an officially recognized institution but cheating the state to import such low quality uniforms for our fire service personnel is absolute disrespecting and insult to the fire service men and women who wear them and I call on the Board Chairman, Amadu to dive deeper the issue to clear his creditably built honorable name.

Wish you all the best in this regard my good old friend, Amadu.

It is rather strange that a courageous and hardworking MP and Board Chairman will discover possible corrupt practices and all we do is rather blame him! This guy deserves our praises. This is the type of Board Chairman that the nation needs - one who will stand resolute and expose corruption without fear or favour. He could have simply covered up and we would not have known a thing. We are being told that the these products were bought and have been in storage for 'many years'. It is therefore very possible that he was not the Board Chairman at the time of purchase. It is even possible that his party was not in power at the time. He deserves praise and encouragement not insults and baseless accusations!

So in Ghana there is nothing that people do that it does not entail corruptions. Infact,the country is rotten to the core adnt it needs drastic revolution to uproot such cancer affecting every fabric in our society.

It's our standards board and the courts which should be held accountable for what has transpired. If any members of the board are equally found culpable in this,the full rigours of the law should be brought bare onto them.

I cannot understand how you could go to Court without knowing who placed the order? The Court documents should have produced that if you had gone to Court. It is shame that we have leaders of your calibre. The Rule is that, that should not happened if you knew your work. All culprits should be banned from public office for 12 years immidiately after paying back the loss with accrued interest and corruption charge.

We know the majority who are lawyers, aka, GBA in Ghana. The courts are full of thieves called judges. The judiciary from up down must been cleaned first, but how do you clean it with people like Frank Davies as Greater Accra GBA boss? Ghana is doomed because of the judicial system headed by the biggest thieves of our land. These are the people who stand for the criminals in the court. Oh, Mr Frank Davies, Chief thief.

India corruption: Laloo Prasad Yadav jailed for five years
Laloo Prasad Yadav has denied the allegations and his family has said he will appeal Former Indian railways minister Laloo Prasad Yadav has been sentenced to five years in prison in a notorious case known as the "fodder scam". He was jailed on Monday after being found guilty of embezzling state funds intended to buy food for cattle while he was Bihar state chief minister. He has always denied the allegations. His family has said he will appeal. The sentencing is seen as a landmark step in tackling corruption in India where it is a major national issue. Yadav now becomes one of the first politicians to lose his parliamentary seat after a recent Supreme Court ruling which bans convicted legislators from holding office. On Wednesday, the government withdrew a controversial order which would have overturned the Supreme Court ruling and allowed convicted MPs to run for elections while appeals were pending. Delivering its judgement on Thursday, the special court in Ranchi in the eastern state of Jharkhand also ordered Yadav to pay a fine of 2.5m rupees ($40,481; £24,938). Arvind Singh, joint secretary of the bar association in Ranchi, said Yadav would serve five years of "rigorous imprisonment". He is among 45 people, including senior bureaucrats and politicians, who have been convicted by the court. The scandal involved embezzlement of 9.5bn rupees ($151m; £94m) meant for buying cattle fodder. The case first came to light in 1996, a measure of how long it can take for justice to be delivered in India. Another former Bihar chief minister, Jagannath Mishra, was also convicted on Monday and has been sentenced to four years in jail. There were a total of 56 defendants in the case. During the trial, seven of them died, two decided to give evidence for the prosecution, one admitted to the crime and one was discharged. Laloo Yadav is one of India's most colourful politicians. He leads the Rashtriya Janata Dal party in Bihar and has long been an ally of India's Congress party-led coalition government in Delhi. He resigned as chief minister of Bihar after the allegations of corruption arose. His wife Rabri Devi was installed in his place. Yadav's Rashtriya Janata Dal party lost power in state elections in 2005. Correspondents say the government has been beset by several high-profile corruption cases in recent years and public anger against politicians and officials seen as corrupt is at unprecedented levels. The Delhi-based election watchdog, the Association for Democratic Reforms, says that there are 1,460 serving lawmakers facing criminal charges. In the 543-seat lower house of parliament alone, more than 150 MPs are said to be facing criminal charges.The Supreme Court has recently been trying weigh in on the issue. Last week, the court gave voters the right to reject all candidates in elections - the judges said that such a move would help cleanse the political system in the country.

Ghanaians are more afraid of armed robbers but these leaders are more than armed robbers. Their act is hampering every Ghanaian including the unborn.

It is about hard time Fire Service need to be probed better b'cos there are lot of issues of corruption going on in the service and when you talk your branded so i think is a good platform for civil society group to come out to investigate the matters and not leave it to the Government to do. Also am not happy the same fire service man is being task to investigate the issue. There also the issue of corruption at the safety department all over the country. But i think it is about time Prez. Mahama constitute new council for GNFS to give way for new people to work.
