    If parliament has rejected free testing of AIDS, it means Ghana can not accept Obama's homosexuality in Ghana. The law makers must know this very well. They can not accept evil lifestyle that spread AIDS to kill Ghanaians.

    Hahahahahahaha. This is funny. How good and pleasant it will be to see our MPs and ministers go for AIDS test for free. You are right. 90 percent of all of them will fail. Can we also legislate that all presidential candidate ...

    They must bury their faces in sand.

  • Nyansasem 10 years ago

    They don't want to be tested, yet they want others to be tested. Ghana is funny.

  • CHIEF ADVISER 10 years ago

    They know what they have been doing and are afraid of the result. This is also part of the low standard morals in the country. They use their titles "MP" to win small girls into beds. We've got to check the moral standard of ...

    How can they rejected? If the law require everyone to do it or who ever fails should leave His or Her position. I think know one can refuse.

  • Funnythat 10 years ago

    A"true morality" is unknown, and secular ethics are impossible therefore,
    life has no truth, and no action is known to be preferable to any other.
    "If you want to test a man's character, give him power.")
    They are afraid ...

  • Funnythat 10 years ago

    The Critic comes from the fact that they refuse to do what is expected of them as parlimentarians.

  • Frank Agyena-Karikari 10 years ago

    Anokware Mpo, it is leadership by example. They should explain the real reason for their fear. Just imagine how many will test positive. This has got nothing to do with laziness or thinking of God solving problems.

  • Funnythat 10 years ago

    What they know is to put Ghana into insovency,eroding finances, getting bags of cash from city contractors, kickbacks hidden in the bra of his political fundraiser and private cross-country travel from businessmen.

    FIRST OF ALL, OUR MPs ARE ABOVE THE LAWS OF GHANA FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:

    1. THEY REFUSE TO DECLARE THEIR ASSETS. NO ONE ENFORCES THEM TO.

    2. THEY REFUSE TO UNDERGO MEDICAL CLEARANCE BEFORE BECOMING MPs, WHICH OF COU ...

  • Kito 10 years ago

    This was a wrong move by Dr Amuzu which would result to negative PR. There was no point asking MPs to test knowing very well the risk posed to their offices. If Dr Amuzu had done a little ground work, he would have known that ...

    The MPs, by rejecting the free HIV/AIDS test, now makes their title 'HONOURABLE' very questionable to almost all Ghanaians.

  • Gilbert 10 years ago

    I believe the refusal is not out of order. The important thing is that HIV testing is free and voluntary for evry Ghanaian Adult. It should also be mandatory for certain medical operations to demand an HIV test before they ar ...
