The scent of corruption is everywhere and must be roted out, not only in one place, but all places, including the police and courts. Why should KKD be free after a rape ?

This is going to all the great NDC PARTY sympathizers, as we all knew the true History of UP / NPP and how they chased the founder of this nation (GHANA ) KWAME NKRUMAH with a Bombs throwing, we as NDC supporters must not in any way seat down unconcerned for them to butcher us. I'm here for urging all of us to stand up to respond to the invitation they threw to us, the Npp has called us and we must respond to it as soon as possible. NDC Sympathizers must bear it in their mind that , the party isn't formed by a cowards, if you are , then i'm sorry to tell you that you are in a wrong place. The Npp is now killing the innocent NDC members in ( BRONG AHAFO ) and we seat down like nothing is happening? What is wrong with NDC now a days? Everywhere you are as a truthful member of the Great NDC PARTY, you must respond in any form to their invitation.

WHEN BOST REFUSES TO USE THE PIPELINE BETWEEN TEMA AND AKOSOMBO TO TRANSPORT FUEL SAFELY AND COST EFFECTIVELY AND INSIST ON USING TAKERS THAT DESTROYS OUR ROADS IT SHOWS HOW BAD THEY ARE. THEY CLAIM SECURITY PROBLEMS ON THE PIPELINE WHILE WE SEE THE RUSSIANS CONSTRUCT 4000KM PIPELINES ACROSS EUROPE AND MANAGE IT. OURS IS ONLY ABOUT 30KM. IF THE WILL IS THERE SECURITY CAN BE PROVIDED AT THE SENSITIVE AREAS OR BURY THE PIPE. THE TANKERS ARE EXPLODING ON OUR ROADS AND KILLING PEOPLE EVERY YEAR BUT THE BOST PEOPLE DON'T CARE.

This is part of the usual corruption story yet the criminals walk free with political connections with impunity.

If the criminal Woyome has the gut to tell the court his terms of payment of crime monies he's got by duping the country yet given paid national security guard, walk on red carpets coupled with SADA and GYEEDA criminals still enjoying family lives instead of put on remand, what has Mahama achieved in fighting the now made official institution of corruption?

Hundreds of former and current government officials are involved in this fuel distribution system set up for a single purpose: filling the pockets of certain big fish. Many mansions in East Legon are built with the criminal proceeds from this Mafia system.

These blood suckers must be stretched beyond the limit. Each one of them must be fully investigated and prosecuted, jailed and have all their assets acquired during their tenure at the BOST confiscated. A quick freeze of their financial assets must be imposed pending the conclusion of the investigations. Possibly, they have stashed away huge sums of stolen money abroad.

The Government must pursue those illicit funds and seize those Accounts immediately.

If found guilty, these folks must serve life sentences without Parole. If our Laws do not now provide that kind of sentencing for such crimes, they could be enacted with retrospective effect.

The whole deal about our Oil drill was unwisely rushed. We had little to no time to prepare for such leakages as these, despite our knowledge of what had been happening to Nigeria under similar circumstances of Oil exploitation.

We must move fast to identify all leaks in the flow of Revenues from the Oil Projects and plug them up.

May the Lord guide us to succeed!

Part of the Kofi Awoonor "Ewe Doctrine" was to make the oil and gas industry in Ghana an Ewe dominated industry. Check the key players in the Oil and Gas sector from GNPC, BOST, to BDCS and you see. The lucrative but secretive oil exploration contracts are tele-managed by Tsatsu and Dagadu (The diminutive Deputy Oil minister) to companies that have Ewe partners.

The issue of bribery, corruption, nepotism and hypocrisy at or within government institutions are nothing new to Ghanaians; the problem that has existed since our Independence is how to minimize these immoral activities. Catching some of these white collar criminals and handing down jail sentences, at our corrupt court systems, with or without restitution and not placing those convicts on probation where they have to report to an officer until their debt to society is paid in full has enabled these activities to go on unchecked.

Continued practices of these immoral activities stem from the fact there are no standing best practices and procedures of government at its institutions and no institution with oversight jurisdiction over operations at government institutions. As such corruption is endemic and cultural. To work for government in any supervisory capacity and not steal is akin to sentencing your family to life of poverty for the rest of their natural lives and that will not do under the current system.

"If you see oppression of the poor and denial of Justice and righteousness in the province, do not be shocked at the sight, for one official watches over another official, and there are higher officials over them. After all, a king who cultivates the field is an advantage to the land. He who loves loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves abundance with its income. This too is vanity. When good things increase, those who consume them increase. What is the advantage to their owners except to look on? The sleep of the working man is pleasant, whether he eats little or much. But the full stomach of the Richmond does not allow him to sleep."

SUBJECT: DEAR CHIEF PSYCHIATRIST,
IT IS SAID NOT QUITE OFTEN THAT "WHEN PERSONS EITHER REACHING OR COMING FROM THE MOON SEE THINGS DIFFERENTLY" AND SAME MAY BE SAID ABOUT THE CHIEF PSYCHIATRIST WORLD WHICH IS ALMOST CONFINED TO PSYCHIATRIST HOSPITAL AND WITH HIS PATIENTS, THERETO.
THAT IT IS SAME AS PROPOSED BY THE CHIEF PSYCHIATRIST AKWASI OSEI THAT BEFORE HE ALSO INTEGRATE INTO THE REAL WORLD VIEW OF GHANA THEN HE SHOULD ALSO UNDERGO PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATIONS, THERETO.
THIS IS BECAUSE HE IS LIVING IN TWO (2) WORLD WITH DIFFERENT VIEWS WHICH ARE DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED TO EACH OTHER AND THEREFORE FOR HIM TO INTEGRATE AND ALSO TO HELP HIM DETACH FROM THE WORLD OF THE GERMAN PSYCHOLOGIST SIGMUED FREUD THAT "THE BLACK PEOPLE AND SOME OTHERS WERE PRUNED TO BE CRIMINALS AND MENTALLY DERANGED THEREFORE THEY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO PROCREATE SINCE THEY WOULD PRODUCE CRIMINALS INTO THE SOCIETY".
IT IS THEREFORE NOT ONLY SAD BUT ALSO VERY UNFORTUNATE THAT SUCH RELATED "IGNORANCE" IS STILL BLATANTLY AMONG SOME BLACKS IN THIS 21ST CENTURY WORLD.
THAT IGNORANCE ITSELF IS DANGEROUS AS ANY RELATED "KILLER DISEASE'S'".
THAT TO PURPORT TO SAY THE LEAST THAT PUBLIC OFFICER HOLDERS TO UNDERGO PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATIONS IN GHANA WITH PARTISAN COMPETITION WHEREBY THERE IS "NO CLINICAL LABORATORY STANDARD TEST FOR MENTAL HEALTH EVALUATION".
THAT IT IS ONLY CLINICAL LABORATORY TEST THAT CAN GIVE "OBJECTIVE RESULTS" BUT MENTAL HEALTH EVALUATION SOLELY DEPENDS ON PURELY "SUBJECTIVE EVALUATION BIAS TEST BY A PSYCHOLOGIST INTERVIEWING THE PERSON BEING INTERVIEWED AND THEN PASSING HIS/HER DECISION.
THAT A CLINICAL LABORATORY SCAN TEST OF THE BRAIN OF THE PERSON CAN SHOW THAT THE PERSON HAS NO MENTAL DEFECT OR PROBLEM WITH THE BRAIN BUT BECAUSE OF BIASES DEPENDING UPON WHO IS CONDUCTING THE PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATION AND FOR WHO SINCE THAT EVALUATION TEST REPORT IS SUBJECTIVE IN A COMPETITIVE POLITICAL PARTISAN GHANA EVERYBODY CAN GUESS HOW PUBLIC OFFICERS WILL BECOME IN GHANA.
FURTHER, WHETHER OR NOT CHIEF PSYCHIATRIST AKWASI OSEI IS PURPORTED SEEKING JOBS FOR PSYCHOLOGISTS IN GHANA OR FOR WHAT?
FINALLY, GHANA WILL BE REDUCED TO A COUNTRY OF RIDICULE AND YOU CAN GUESS THE REST.
THAT THE BLACK
MAN AND THE BLACK WOMAN AND ALL OTHER RACES OF COLOUR ARE CREATED EQUAL BY GOD AND ENDOWED EACH AND EVERYONE WITH INALIENABLE RIGHTS AND SOME OF THE RIGHTS ARE LIFE, LIBERTY, FREEDOM, RIGHT TO PRIVACY AND OTHERS.
THAT THESE RELATED RIGHTS ARE ENSHRINED IN GHANA 1992 CONSTITUTION AND MUST BE RESPECTED.
THAT IT IS IN THE RIGHT PERSPECTIVE TO RECALL AN ARTICLE I DULY WROTE IN THE RICHMOND FREE PRESS WHEN H.E.MR.FORMER PRESIDENT OF UNITED STATES OF AMERICA GEORGE W.BUSH APPOINTED HON.FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE DR.CONDOLEEZZA RICE AS SECRETARY OF STATE DURING THE SECOND TERM OF H.E.PRESIDENCY THAT SOME PERSONS KICKED AGAINST THE APPOINTMENT AND EVEN CALLED HER ."JAGGERNAUT" THAT I WROTE AGAINST THE WRITER CALLING HON.DR.CONDOLEEZZA RICE, AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN WOMAN A "JAGGERNAUT" AND CLEARLY MADE A STRONG CASE THAT BLACK MAN, BLACK WOMAN, WHITE MAN, WHITE WOMAN AND OTHER RACES OF COLOURS (COLORS) CAN HOLD ANY POSITIONS OF TRUST AND CAN ALSO SUCCESSFULLY PERFORMED THEIR ROLES/DUTIES.
THAT I DECIDED TO HELP HON.FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE DR.CONDOLEEZZA RICE TO SUCCEED AND HISTORY CAN RECALL THAT SHE SUCCEEDED AND THEREAFTER, H.E.DR.MR.PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA WAS HISTORIC ELECTED PRESIDENT OF UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (AFRICAN-AMERICAN) AND FIRST LADY MICHELLE OBAMA (AFRICAN-AMERICAN) WITH THE FIRST FAMILY BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTERS MALIA AND SASHA (AFRICAN-AMERICAN).

Dr Akwasi Osei Chief Psychiarist
The Chief Psychiatrist of the Ghana Health Service (GHS), Dr Akwasi Osei, has suggested that public office holders should be made to undergo psychological screening to determine whether they are mentally fit to work in the interest of the country.

He said it was only psychologically sound public officers who could come up with sound policies and laws, and sign agreements needed to advance the country’s socio-economic development.

Speaking at the launch of the first anniversary commemoration of the Mental Health Board in Accra yesterday, Dr Osei said some of the laws passed, policies and agreements signed by public officials raised questions about the mental state of such people when they were taking such decisions.

“They have to go for psychological screening to ensure that they are of sound mind. When you look at the policies, laws and international agreements, there is something not right up there,” he said.

The Mental Health Board is the governing body of the Mental Health Authority (MHA), which was established by the Mental Health Act 846 of 2012.

Activities lined up for the week-long celebration include a public lecture, launch of the Mental Health Fund, Muslim and Christian prayers and services.

Dr Osei, who is also the acting Chief Executive Officer of the MHA, suggested that psychologists should be employed at workplaces to offer their services to workers.

He said the psychologists could address psychological challenges facing workers and deter depressed workers from engaging in criminal acts or committing suicide.

Dr Osei added that it was the objective of the MHA to clear all the streets in the country of mental patients within the next two years.

He revealed that nine out of 10 patients who were picked from the streets regained their sanity.

Statistics

A study conducted in 2009 showed that 41 per cent of Ghanaians had psychological distress. Nineteen per cent of the distress was moderate to severe; enough to be considered mental disorder.

The 19 per cent translates into about 4.75 million of the 25 million population. Of this figure, it is estimated that 700,000 had a major disorder, including schizophrenia and other psychotic conditions.

Dr Osei indicated that the number of people with psychological distress constituted a great loss to the state.

“If we could prevent the 19 per cent of the population from developing this distress and disorder, we will save ourselves, as a nation, the loss of seven per cent of GDP”, he said.

Policy on alcohol

Dr Osei indicated that the Ministry of Health was coming out with a policy to regulate the sale, advertising and use of alcohol.

He said under the policy, advertisements on alcohol would be restricted to specific points in time, while celebrities would not be allowed to feature in those advertisements.

Nothing would come out of this. It is so painful to hear these fraudulent practices. As they are in league with the govt. it is because of this avenue of making cheap money that is why Tema refinery would never be repaired by this govt. The govt knows about it and these corrupt people would pretend as if they know nothing about. Why should intelligent people sit and look at these practices without talking. When intelligent people like Tech lecturers are coming out to throw away this incompetent govt then some docile people would come out against them. Have we learned our lesson?
