Go and see how Prez Mahama of Ghana has transformed Gonjaland with Ghana money just within the two and half years that he has been in power. Every town, village and hamlet in Gonjaland has received a facelift with new facilities such as roads, toilet facilities, markets, mosques, good quality water projects, electricity extension projects, etc. The question is did J. J. Rawlings do the same thing to Voltarians when he was in power for twenty years? What about Atta Mills. The good old Prof was in power for three and a half years yet he was not selfish to only concentrate on his people in Ekumfi Etuam and the central Region but rather his whole thought was for the general good. No wonder under the care of Prez Mills, Ghana achieved a growth rate of 11%, single digit inflation and the smooth implementation of the Single Spine Pay Policy where newly recruited police personnel received the nominal equivalence of 500dollars as monthly salary. Compare these achievements to the nepotism and selfish policies of the Mahama government that has crippled the Ghanaian economy. I really weep for Ewes and Fantis whose votes brought Mahama to power and yet are the hardest hit by the current hardship prevailing in the country.

Prof, you have to accept the blame and find solution and measures to prevent reoccurrences in future. WAEC & MOE must be blamed for the leakages of exams papers.

To maintain the institutional integrity of WAEC is to cancell papers of children by denying them their rights.
How did the papers got leaked in the first place? Is it not the same WAEC who are expected to maintain the sanctity of these papers? Then why should others be punished by the wrongs of others?
It is wrong the way we are adiministering this country. Wrong doers go free at the the expense of right doing people. What type of country are we building. All those in leadership positions have failed this country. Now society prefers to use younger people which is a reflection of the failure of our older leaders. I hope the younger people will live up to expectation.
In the advanced economies, it is the reverse. Just look at the people making up the Legislative of US, UK, Germany etc.

I wonder whether collective decision equates to correct decision. Where is WAEC's reputation when year in year out exam leakages occur. The easiest decision is to punish thousands of innocent children many of whom social media platform is alien. If MoE cannot support WAEC to deliver its core function then God bless Ghana. Institutions always use their might to punish the defenceless. Le us sit up and build Ghana and Africa.

Exam leakage was a "huge and well calculated trap" set by waec that Ghanaians fell into. Re-setting & printing of questions will cost money. What questions? It is just re-mixing. That is when WAEC's share goes into their pocket, note this is not just 5000 ghc. Do not under estimate a Ghanaian when it comes to the component of 'get rich'. Ghanaians can keep on 'talking' who cares. what about those who brandish the cutlass and guns? It is because of money you will not understand the complex plot now.

WHY ARE ALL THE GOVTS. DOING THESE THINGS TO OUR CHILDREN? IF YOU ARE TOTALLY BEREFT OF JOB CREATING IDEAS PLEASE LET US KNOW! YOU THINK TO PLAY ON THE MORAL OF CHILDREN IS A GOOD THING? I SUGGEST THAT YOU REINSTATE THOSE PAPERS AS GOOD , I MEAN THOSE THAT HAVE ALREADY BEING WRITTEN BY THE CHILDREN. AND I SUGGEST THAT YOU ARREST THE BOSS OF WAEC. ETC. THIS IS THE UPTEENTH TIME THAT THIS HAVE BEEN HAPPENING. AND WHEN EVER IT HAPPENS HEADS MUST ROLL , I MEAN PEOPLE MUST BE PUT IN JAIL WHEN FOUND CULPABLE WHY DO YOU CONTINUE THIS WAY? IF THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION IS TALKING LIKE THIS I AM DISAPPOINTED, BECAUSE I PERCEIVE THE MINSTER AND HER DEPUTY AS VERY GOOD AND FIT FOR THEIR POSITIONS.

Lady minister let's face facts and do what is normal and proper as people entrusted with the lives of our young ones.

You admittedly is saying here that the BECE exam leakage is recurrent thing and as a minister what action plan did you put in-place to see that such criminal activities does not happen again.

Why don't you think somebody must be held for negligent of responsibility for such unwanted leakages that is not only costing the state to cancel the entire exams but also the parents and the children?

Imagine how much time, money and preparation gone into the exams only for the poor children to be told their exam is cancelled.

No you do not get it, you do not care and your are unsympathetic to the problem. Otherwise you would have put strongly and tight security measures in place to protect the exam questions and have honest people in a secured place to print and deal firmly with anybody found to be involved in such diabolical crimes that directly or indirectly affect the progress of social economic achievement of the nation.

Somebody certainly have to get his balls on fire.

This leakages is not the first time and would not be the least since 1992, I have never trusted WAEC for what I experienced back than. Brothers never trust the system whilst man is in charge.
