The public show put up by the MPs against the policemen on duty is most unfortunate. The Bantama MP who claimed to be a lawyer made a mess of himself. MPs behaving as spoilt boys who had got their football missing. Shameful indeed.

In fact yesterday when I watched the whole show on TV3,I was surprised that the Mps behaved in that dishonorable manner. Both parties supposed to fight for interest of the nation.Why can't the mps called Igp straight to find out what were his men doing there instead of trying to intimidate them with their foolish ostentatious behavior. Aboa jokers. Clowns.

Oh judgment, thou has gone to brutish beasts, and men have lost their reason. In which country will policemen confront lawmakers and not facilitate their work? only in Ghana... and you will find NDC bigots to support their misguided zeal.

When the police can willy nilly challenge MPs and prevent lawmakers from making observation, it is a sign that anarchy is in the making. God bless our beloved country Ghana before some crazy youth acts otherwise.

Agree,that can never happen in any civilized country and those police officers will still be at post.
I wonder if we really understand democracy to know the three arms of government and know how they operate.

What a country? Police preventing a Parliamentary Committee from performing it Constitutional mandate? Infact, the country have gone to the DOGS. Where in a civilized and democratic country can one sees such an irresponsible acts by the Police? But who authorized the police to prevent the MPs from entering the forest in the first place? Infact, NDC in concert with Mahama administration are making mother Ghana a laughing stock of the world. The earlier they are kicked off the better it would be for the country

It doesn't make sense to waste money to construct a 20 kilometer fence around Achimota forest. If somebody is encroaching take him to court and jail him. The laws of Ghana must work. If a chief is aiding and abetting, jail him too. Short of this we are paving the way to anarchy. We are found of worshiping "Do you know me" in Ghana.
Of course, in Ghana previously certified cocaine turns into kokonte and there is no solution.

There they go. The NDC is now sharing the same Achimota Forest that Jerry Rawlings used for his nefarious activities against the PNP government he eventually overthrew.

Parliament should use its powers to Order the arrest of the IGP from preventing them to do their duty!

I doubt you meant either of those things. You probably wanted to say either hindered or harassed. Basic errors in vocabulary are unbecoming and people who try hard to sound smart often end up sounding the opposite!

Yes, mahama was not born at the time the forest was set aside so he did not know why the forest was reserved untouched. Likewise the Mps who by their diabolical mind has been able to sell the portion and were going to see the demarcation to achieve their aim. Where from that authority from above comes from, and who is that authority?. A disgraceful government indeed. Whoever is buying that portion of the forest must know that it will one day be taking back from him. The forest is set aside as an eco-tourest place to boost the tourism system of the country. Its not a place to meet to talk about sending cocaine abroad. Shame mahama.
