  If the VVIP staff processed Ms Ametefeh and two other women then, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs should have at least the names of the two other women. Have they passed on those details to the British authorities?
  
  There are more questions than answers on this case. We are watching with interest.

  I know someone who suffers from glaucoma and loosing his eye sight gradually in Ghana. For a leader to light of such words is sad.

  Amazing that a minority leader can desccribe our Presisent statement as abusive and then descend into childish parliamentary abusive language. Interesting that for someone of his stand can be economical with the truth by claiming that the Presidents of Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana were in Akwa Ibom, Nigeria, just to commission a stadium!May be you need lessons in international diplomacy and national economic statecraft!!

  Government when a cocaine carrier is
  arrested attracts a High Commissioner
  to go the prison and visit the cocaine
  carriers because Mahama is critically

  Osei Kyei Mensa Bonus should respect the disabled in society at least. Shortsight is not an insult. He should not have used glacouma and catterat which are illness in his language in the first place. He should be a little civil in his speech next. I wish he suffers from glacouma or catterat in the coming years.

  And mahama should know he is the president (according to Afari Djan and Atuguba) of Ghana how many times has he insulted us.When he newly became president I remember he said we should be bold to tell him if he do good or bad so he can move ghana. But you try and criticize him today the kind of insult he will rain on you whe there is nothing good he does to be praised. Mahama stop the insult and behave as president since for now we dont have choice but to accept you till 7 january 2017 when NANA ADDO DANQUAH AKUFO ADDO will come and save us.

  In fact the minority leader has proved the President right. Any person who lacks foresight and discernment or lacks long-range perspective in thinking can be described as short-sighted - this is good English. Hon Osei Mensah-Bonsu has indeed displayed clear short-sightedness in his response to the President's measured statement. Both glaucoma and cataract are serious conditions that have afflicted many in our country - they are not used in English language or any Ghanaian vernacular to describe persons whose claims you consider wrong unlike the President's statement. Claiming the President has these diseases is baseless and insentive to the many citizens afflicted by them. It is unfortunate that a whole leader of the minority can open his mouth (like people on the street) and release words without careful thought.

It is important that those ppl suffering from contextual clues to the meaning of the two words used go back to read that news item again and again to be able to comment well on this matter.

  better to suffer from glaucoma in one eye than to have no vision at all, as is the case of visionless Akufo-Addo. Your ownNPP members have declared a lack of confidence in Akufo-Addo's ability to lead, calling him incompetent and a monumental failure. The one-eyed leader is a better pick than the completely visionless candidate who also happens to be a two-time loser.
