  Instead of a bye-law to throw people who create filth in our streets in jail, these buffoons in government want a by-law that will compel every citizen to take part in National Sanitation Day. How will these fools implement such a bye-law. In many normal countries the world over, littering is an offence punishable by on the spot fines when one is caught. In most of these normal countries, the government has provided dustbins/garbage cans at every convenient corner of the streets so that those who litter would have no excuse for littering. But Ghana is not a normal country - it is backward and crude, and that is why you have a government that wants to pass a bye-law to catch not those who litter in our street, but rather those who fail to join National Sanitation day. What a bunch of fools and dunderheads. 
  
  Cleanliness/Sanitation must start in our classrooms and supported by our laws. To paraphrase the the famous Chinese proverb, teach the hungry and they will never go hungry again. Our elementary and High School curriculum must emphasize sanitation and cleanliness at home and on our streets. That is how you raise a clean generation, not passing mindless bye-laws. With this kind of stupidity, is then a wonder that our economy is in a mess? We need people with common sense to govern, not people with hollow minds.

  Independence of the press and knowledge of and on investigative techniques are requisite skill sets needed to be an effective journalist; journalists are to inform the public with facts and leave the public to form conclusions on what they read and or hear. Unfortunately, we have all succumbed to the powers of the word “free” and nothing else matter; our freedoms have become nothing but empty slogans.
  
  Every one of Ghana's media houses has been bought and sold on the open market to the political parties of the NDC or NPP and with compromised journalistic ideals and ideas they became ineffective and lapdogs peddling their master’s voice. The failure of the press to adequately and truthfully inform the voting public in Ghana is the root cause of continued election into parliament representatives who would ratify and vote into law the Ghana constitution that strips parliament of effective oversight of government expenditures, grant absolute power to the office of the president and enshrine in it an indemnity clause that forgives criminal acts and mismanagement of presidents and other preferred civil servants.
  
  So if Ghana continues to rely on miseducated and unwise members of parliament to bring the nation down the people to blame should be people in media who take money from political parties to sell us the trash we buy. Yes we are free to have slave-era chains on our minds just as long as we pretend to be a democracy.
