The NPP is no better. They were also thieves when they were in office for eight years under Kufuor, not counting the reign of Afrifa and Busia.

This would have been no news in a civilized society.Why shd people who are punished for doing the wrong thing be published by a State's newspaper?The other time it was a policeman rejecting bribe which was reported.

This is EXCESSIVE use of power and the Hon Minister proceed to his boss for a meeting!
This is not a Police state for such a DRILL, and if the employees have the
habit of reporting late to 'duty', Alhaji Muniru must act responsibly as civilians do, and not a drill 'sargent'. Power 'drunks' do not belong to our society as such behavior breeds CORRUPTION.

He only did a roll call and asked for valid reasons why they were absent, and it was confirmed that most were on their way to the event meaning they were late. Please media people, don't twist facts to create sensational headlines. Ghanaian Times, you can do better

Thank you Mr participant for giving us the true nature of events as it happened. I wish more readers on this forum would react to the many stories that we are served with and which are fabricated out of sheer mendacity and political intrigue.

As the matter stands, I really do not know which is worse, the lateness of those officials to the event or the lies from the Ghanaian Times.

Our media people are increasingly going out to there to add salt, pepper and spice to events that they cover. This is obviously so that they can gain credit and professional advancement in their journalistic aspirations. They should not in that endeavor, place their personal ambitions above the right of the reading public to know the true facts of events.

In brief, what the problem really is, is that, they fool us everyday by denying us, the reading public, from getting the opportunity to form a clear picture of what pertains on the ground and the subsequent opinions that we are likely to wrongly make from such bad reporting.

That is soo disrespectful. if you are running late. then you are on the phone with the minister's chief of staff and apologetically explain why you are late beyond your ability to control, and give the estimated time you are going to be late for.
you just don't show up like someone who has closed from job and going home. even that your wife would call with the usual "why are you at?"" Hey Ghana you are just MRDD (mentally retarded and developmentally delayed) you are not learning and the problem is, you are having problems copying. Copying others is the easiest thing one can do, and if we suck at that too, Then you really are Severely MRDD

It's election time, and the ALL-LIE-BE-LIE machine is hard at work, stuffing envelopes with dollars while using the media to spread falsehood.

Unfortunately people don't want to hear the word "revolution" because of the bad feelings June 4th evokes. But this is the type of actions that inspires the masses. I know JJ Rawlings would be moved by this. The Minister must sustain it. The security of Govt appointees lies in their selflessnes, transperancy and hardwork, and not how many body guards they surround themselves with.

Why not recommend their dismissals? I'm really pleased with your action. Ghanaians from the president down to the last messenger lack time consciousness. This is the bane of our development. It has followed Ghanaians even to foreign countries. They will give you a brochure with a specific time for a function, you go and wait for hours before the organisers rear their heads. Funerals have been prioritized over our health, education and development. State resources have been used to the detriment of our children's future. O don't like your party, but you are going to be in my good books and when. I Win any election after 2016 you will be the first person to be called. Continue to lock them up and they will change. If not get them sacked. Long live Ghana. God bless you.

Charity begins at home and Mr Minister your action is a perfect example of leadership. We live in a country where our leaders are always late to functions, ceremonies, conferences and the like. We care less of time - proper response to time is nothing in Ghana. Leaders do not set the needed examples. Well done Mr Minister and continue to keep them shut until sanity prefers.

Leaders must set the right examples. This morning I saw a tax without an Assembly number. I asked the taxi driver why he has no number and his answer is because the owner of the vehicle belongs to a big man in either Adentan Municipal Assembly or that of Madina. Unfortunately I forgotten the car registration number. I told the driver that it is the so-called top men who should set the good example for the small men to follow. Mr Minister you have done exceedingly well. Please well done and continue like that.

Thank you.

After all. "punctuality is the soul of business", we were all told this by our primary school teachers.
