When a police commander takes a little chop and sides with one party, he is bringing chaos to his area.

Had Supt Ofori even tried to get both parties together even once, we would have stood by him.

Did the Minister use his pocket money to buy those gifts for the House of Chiefs for the X'mas celebration? I thought the President said he had banned hampers (gifts) from government coffers. Clearly these ministers don't even obey what the President says. He must be disciplined. This is all part of the corruption that has gripped the nation under Mahama's administration. Corruption everywhere.

As much as I hate to admit Rawlings was right with his statement. If they have had listen to those who were concern with the president health, he might be alive today.

can be afraid of a thief, arm rober,a
murderer and diabolical idiot which
Tsikata is one, that is why we have
Police whose duty it is to protect us
from Tsikata and his NDC bunch of criminals and that is why prison is
built so that we can quarantine all
those criminals. Tsikata must be
sent to quarantine and be forced to
stay out from the community, it is
because of that we the civilized citizenry are scared of Tsikata not
for any other reason. OK!! check it out...

These chiefs are the problem, every single time there is a new chief the bastard wants to resell the same lands they have sold previously to new owners. The fact that a chief is legitimate does not mean their actions are. Afotey is merely acting stupid, if the police sup has done something wrong take him to court not abuse your power. Time for a revolution to wipe away these power drunk idiots. Seriously we need to start again to wipe away these crass idiots JJ created

Pls leave NDC out of this. Who is Kwasi Ofori to be fighting with the chief of Appolonia. Ga lands are for Gas and Kwasi Ofori is protecting the interest of his cohort, Castle Gate Estate who has fraudulently taken large portion of Appolonia Stool Land without the knowledge of the chief and elders. Any time the chief writes to the Police to undertake an event, Kwasi Ofori will ran to the Dodowa Magistrat Court seeking to stop the event and to commit the chief and the writer of the letter to bond without basis. As I write, there is a case pending in court in respond to a simple letter seeking to do an outdoor program at Appolonia. If Kwasi Ofori cannot offer protection to the chief and his people, he should get out. We are tired of Kwasi Ofori. He is a disgrace to Ghana Police Service and no wander wherever he is posted to he has issues with the people

Why is Afotey calling for Ofori to be thrown out of his region instead of the laters' outright dismissal if something wrong has been done? Readers would recall that it is this same Afotey guy who supervised the reverting of the Ohene Gyan Stadium back Accra Sports Stadium with the pretense that Ohene Gyan was not a Ga. Again he was the same guy who was behind the Ga Youth when they tried to prevent Kuffour's from having an office in Accra. He hate Akans and I'm not surprise he is trying to have Kwasi Fori thrown out of that region.

NDC has been relying on tribalism and appointed tribal bigots and well known criminals who hate Akans to be in top positions. If this is how the country is to be ruled or misruled then we are in for bleak future. Does Afotey Agbo think that Greater Accra is for only Ga people and not any other Ghanaians? Only in Ghana under NDC can such a moron be a minister. In no country in this world will a foolish man like this remain a minister. May God help Ghana.

In the ashante region where do you see Gas fighting over land issues.In Ashante region, you people have named everything after the ashantehene. Actually the ashantes together with the land they occupy are properties of otumfuo.Sometimes behave like slaves and talk rubbish. But when it comes to greater accra lands then the land becomes every ghanaian property to be discussed. Kwaseafuo We shall see.You think the Gas are fools.We are watching with an eagle eyes.

This is funny with some ghana ministers and their operational tactis.The people are suffering through your useless corrupt appointees. They succumb to rice and sardines to vote and thats the way they have started their campaign for 2016. Why should ministers give gifts to chiefs for Xmas, what is the sense behind this.Ghanians need education, especially the chiefs and our opinion leaders.

If it is about maintaining law and order then I am afraid the police commander's powers supersedes the chief's powers. It's a shame that the politician does not know this.
