  ...The Government exercised the latter option when we disagreed over the judgment debt and other Gargantuan crimes. The Government, and my colleague Ministers at the time know that there was no provision for dismissal under my contract of employment as a Minister or that of any Minster.
  
  I reserve the right as a citizen of Ghana to protect and defend my honour and integrity should this civilized challenge for the truth be ignored.
  
  This is not the price I should be made to pay by the Government of Ghana for defending the Constitution of Ghana in the Waterville and Isofoton unconstitutional payments declared by the Supreme Court.

  We should seriously consider getting rid of the Zongos. They are slums where nothing works and a breeding ground for criminals. Can you imagine the stench in a zongo where almost every home is reported to have cattle?

  Not only that, but the few with WCs have them connected to the gutters, so when they flush their toilets it goes straight into the gutters. I reported this once to the AMA and was told to bring them a report/proposal.

  Zongos were created for Northerners, but they have since moved out and better themselves. Zongos these days are occupied by ECOWAS illegals. Let's live together as Ghanaians and not create a refugee camps like zongo.

  A female reporter was conducting an interview with a farmer about Mad Cow Disease. "Mr. Brown, do you have any idea what might be the cause of the disease?" "Sure. Do you know the bulls only screw the cows once a year?" "Umm, sir, that is a new piece of information, but what's the relationship between this and Mad Cow?" "And did you know we milk the cows twice a day?" "Mr. Brown, that's interesting, but, what's the point?" "Lady, the point is this: if I'm playing with your tits twice a day, but only screwing you once a year, wouldn't you go mad, too?"

  This is a good decision,Mr. AMA boss but you have to find alternate solution to it. These are cattle farmers, that is their livelihood. We should establish ranches in the outkirts for them and move them all there.

WHICH PRODUCE MALARIA, CHOLERA ETC. THEY MAKE UR RESIDENTS SICK AND UNABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ECONOMIC BUILDUP OF THE CITY N THE NATION. GDP GETS AFFECTED. HOSPITALS ARE OVERRUN WITH PATIENTS WHO CANT PAY. ITS A BURDEN ON LIMITED HOSPITAL RESOURCES. NURSES AND DOCTORS ARE OVERWORKED WITH LESS PAY. THEY GET FRUSTRATED AND GIVE UP OR GO ON STRIKE. DONT U SEE HOW THIS IS ALL INTERCONNECTED? PLAN UR CITIES INTO MODERN ONES WITH VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL STREETS, NUMBERED BUILDINGS. RELY ON ASSISTANCE N BRAINSTORM IDEAS FROM ACCRA POLY N LEGON.

  You people are stupid and totally sick. Every time some idiot from the primitive jungle comes to Accra to make it seem like ancient Timbuktu, you people think government should provide for them. I have a home, a car and a job, I need twice as much money as I have, should I demand that government subsidize my mediocre lifestyle? Same stupid attitude some of you had with those squatters from Sodom & Gomorrah. Why don't you fucking find a place in your village for them to rear their cattle.
  
  I swear I will start shooting to kill all life stock roaming the streets of Accra on sight!!!

  We are still Third World: rearing cattle, cows, goats, sheep, fowls, etc. in our so-called capital city; no doubt we can't beautify the city. Between the pedestrians who don't obey the "keep-off the grass" signs and our ever-hungry, four-legged friends, we certainly wouldn't be able to build a beautiful capital, There is nothing the AMA can do. We all need to cooperate.

  Hmm! This is how far corruption can drive people. This man must be living on Jupiter, Mercury or Mass but not planet earth let alone Ghana and for that matter Accra. This man must be ordered by a judge (not Supreme Court Judge) to wear a placard on his neck reading "I DID NOT MEAN TO BE SILLY AND OFFEND MY BROTHERS IN ZONGO COMMUNITIES OF ACCRA" for just one week, 7.00 am to 5.00 pm, and standing at the crossroads of Ringroad Central near Nima Police Station, and face motorists and pedestrians. Such punishment is administered in the USA, and will keep fowl-mouthed government officials like this one from speaking loosely. May I ask this simple question. Whose votes from zongo communities give the politicians power? Is it done by cattle? 'Dikita' Simpson Boateng whenever journalists knock at your door keep your mouth shut if you do not have any words to tell them.
