  The number of court houses and judges in Ghana are inadequate. The population has ballooned and changes have to be made. The same can be said of the number of police officers and the number of penitentiaries. On a visit to a number of court houses around the country I found the Ghana flag and the Ghana Coat of Arms (Seal) absent. This must change.
  
  Good policing is needed in order for companies to operate effectively. How many detectives has the Ghana police service got and to what extent do they pursue cases? Too many people are being robbed of their toil and sweat. It is important that we increas the police-population ratio.
  
  In many areas especially in the at least 12 Akyem districts which make up more than half of the population of the Eastern Region the police is out of reach but the chiefs have been doing their best in ensuring that law and order prevail in these areas.
  
  Looking at salary levels or the per capita income it is apparent that a sizable proportion of the population cannot afford good legal services. The government must therefore provide some subsidies in this regard lest our republic turn into an oligarchy.
  
  Judges deserve good salaries but what would a judge consider virtuous?? Judges must bear in mind that their salaries cannot be more than the productivity of the general public. They must take the GNI per capita of Ghana into account.
  
  How can judges help increase the GDP of Ghana? Judges must be at work by 8am and leave not before 5pm.

  we know govts who preached zero tolernce for corruption, turned round to say it was from Adam's days so if you see one duck go and tell the police.

  Only Ghana would the government dole out millions of dollars to any entity that claims to be owed by the government. There is absolutely no consequences if the government refuses to pay the judgment debt. No judge in Ghana can cite the sovereign government for contempt.
