  There are many fields where Ghana lacks the needed expertise. To solve this problem the government of Ghana has over the decades made scholarships available for the needed human resource to be trained abroad. In some cases so many people were sent and not even one returned. If you know you are not prepared to work and live in Ghana and would therefore not return do not take the scholarships.
  
  The Takoradi Poly Students who were sacked for applying with fake certificates must be prosecuted in a court of competent jurisdiction. Just sacking them is not enough.
  
  Nowadays businesses and government organisations have stopped demanding Secondary School Certificate or Basic Education Certificate.
  
  Each of these certificates are important. For example for many tertiary graduates the only certificate that can tell whether one can speak good English or whether one has adequate knowledge of Mathematics is the Secondary School Certificate.
  
  Similarly the only certificate that can tell whether a tertiary graduate has basic knowledge of Ghanaian history, culture, agriculture and the basic geography of West Africa is the Basic Education Certificate.

  So it's now because of patency rights and not the interests of the Ghanaian population that is what all this fuss about shoving GMOs down our throats. Even if you succeed in hastening the passage of this bill as you want, I'm sure another government will come and have it changed. Wicked Reverend Dr!!! Have you thought of proper irrigation, accessibility of farm produce to market and other equally better methods of farming? Listen to the argument well, why the unnecessary rush to pass this bill
