  if properly investigated we all know it should end with the impeachment and jailing of mahama . many are blinded and prejudiced by the love of their party or tribalism and do not want to see the truth. this is the saddest event in our history after the murder of Mills . our society and so called leaders are lazy and procrastinating not to mention lacking in courage and integrity so allow this tribal ethnocentric feudal society as opposed to an industrial entrepreneurial mentality and true nationalism with patriotism to flourish. history has proven that all feudal societies be it monarchy's , dictatorships or quasi democracies end up in blood shed whether through revolutions or war in favor of a republican structured system of governance . Bin laden realized the whole Arab world couldn't even produce a car tire and in his limited feudal mind blamed the innocent being the west for state as is the mentality of those trapped in this vicious circle. the northerners and ewes have been right under our noses setting up this catastrophe in the hope of being the ones to exploit and plunder the wealth of the Akans with the help of satellite smaller or marginal groups such as the Gas , krobos and even some of the twi speakers . despite all the money these feudal societies may have such as saudi arabia they can never evolve into the 21st century and develop. yes we have people with doctorate degrees in political science , history or sociology example tony aidoo who is only concerned about how much money he can get but can not point out these grave dangers to his bosses. the greed , selfishness , corruption and backwardness are all fruits of this ethnocentrism and tribalism and ensure we never develop but keep them in power . gadafi , saddam died because they refused to realize that the welbeing and prosperity of the people is a God given right and duty of every govt to secure for their people . they call us separatists and try and make their madness the norm but we know it will be over soon . vikileaks has shown what is the fate of Akans who foolishly think they belong , if she had been an ewe or northerner the crisis control strategy would have said it was a fake tape but instead she was thrown out in the cold to the wolves . a word top the wise , do not trust them or take them into your confidence , long live the republic of Akan

  Worse still is the shortage of Insulin in the Upper Western Regional Hospita, Wa. There are so many diabetic patients in the area and not to have Insulin in the Regional Hospital and the privately owned Pharmacies is just unpardonable. I hope someone in the position should read this and take the steps to rectify the situation.

  Little Johnny walks in on his mother in the bathtub. He asks his mother what is the big fuzzy patch below her bellybutton. She replies, "A bush."
  
  The next day Little Johnny walks in on his father while he's in the shower. He asks, "What is that big long thing hanging between your legs?" His father replies, "It is a snake."
  
  A few days later, Little Johnny walks in on his mother, once again in the bathtub. He asks, "What are those two baggy things hanging above your bellybutton?" She replies, "Headlights."
  
  A couple weeks go by and the little boy walks in on his parents having sex. He yells, "Mom, turn on your headlights! The snake is crawling into your bush!"

  Give us a list of hospitals and clinics in the regions where we can find anti snake serum. The whole of Ga south particularly Tuba fulani weija Kasoa and its environs there is no anti snake serum in any clinic there. Meanwhile this is the part of accra where you have the most dangerous snakes and snake bites in accra because of the weija dam and the akoasa mountains. You have dangerous Black and green mambas and all sorts of reptiles in Tuba fulani around the dam and kokrobite yet no anti snake serum. Sherry ayitey leave the scrap dealers alone and give us anti snake serum, this is disgraceful

  Snake venum anti-serum is not too difficult to produce. The science of it is simple enough: a mild snake venum is injected large animals (horses, cows, etc.). The anti body produced in the animals is then processed for anti-venum:
  
  'Snake antivenom, (snake antivenin, snake antivenene) is a biological product that typically consists of venom neutralizing antibodies derived from a host animal, such as a horse or sheep. The host animal is hyperimmunized to one or more snake venoms, a process which creates an immunological response that produces large numbers of neutralizing antibodies against various components (toxins) of the venom. The antibodies are then collected from the host animal, and further processed into snake antivenom for the treatment of envenomation. Internationally, snake antivenoms must conform to the standards of Pharmacopoeia and the World Health Organization (WHO).'
  
  Ghana must not be short of this simple antidote to snake bites which, apparently is still killing hundreds of our citizens.
  
  Regards.

  Patients are dying in district hospitals in the three northern regions for lack of the venom. MOH and GHS should act fast.
