Is the government hiding something from the public surrounding the untimely death of this young journalist? Why this compensation? Journalists die and we never hear governments compensating their left behind families but the whole issue revolving the death of Nuamah seems very dubious to me and the public at large. Are they trying to silence the family or hide the truth from the public?

Is Mahama going to compensate the other Ghanaians who lost their lives while on government duties ? This is very unfair.

Socrates in the 4th century BC or thereabouts said very skeptical of democracy that it would pay dearly. The poor will want the wealth of the wealthy and democracy will give it to them.The youth will want be respected like the old achievers with experience, women will want to be like men,foreigners will want the rights of the natives and democracy will make this possible. Thieves and con men will want positions of importance and democracy will also give that to them .When thieves and con artists finally democratically gain power as criminals and evil men have a urge always to gain power we will have a tyranny worse than any monarchy or oligarchy unquote. This all evident in the pndc /ndc govt today including the perverse leanings towards inter-gender role exchanges and promotion of homosexuality.Thus Winston Churchill said that democracy is the "worst form of government," just better than all the others. the problem Plato has with democracy in the Republic is not the absence of the rule of law but just the fact that the wrong people are in power-people without the proper virtues or integrity.Development pepeni omanhene says is unequaled on his watch, and i ask what is the meaning? Is it the total uselessness , or insignificance , level of plaigatory theft of projects, corruption kick backs or the benefits his kleptomaniac brothers and cronies have acquired , the level of prejudice of against anything that can benefit Akan areas or people . Pepeni has borrowed and created more debt than all the previous presidents before him combined including Nkrumah yet we dont see any results such as the attempts of raising any basic or primary industry to add some value to our natural resources before export that creates jobs for millions as Nkrumah and all presidents except for pepeni and JJ tried to. What is unequaled is the billions that have been siphoned out of the country mainly to Islamic destinations like Iran , Dubai and Turkey. He boasts about the nonexistent 200 schools yet forgets over a century ago Akans mainly Fantes built schools that today would each cost no less than 20 million each. He offers markets and toilets as if the local community could not do so themselves if the taxes and various levies collected in those areas remained there. But no pepeni/ayigbe must chop bribe together with their Gas Adas and other satellite allies against the Akans. A govt whose members are selected not based on competence but their level of hate or prejudice against the Akan majority or the family blood ties to pepeni mahama can never serve anybody except their selfish selves and will always fail. The success or failure of any business , govt or social enterprise is determined by the personnel or cadre who execute the defined goals. In our case we need a govt selected based on merit and experience to get us out of this vicious circle of poverty and bad luck , so i would expect to see at least 3 investment bankers , 4 engineers , 2 macro economists and one doctor of project management and that govt with people of integrity will surely have results in less than a year. Competent Ghanaian all decline to associate themselves with NDC and their corruption driven govt.Pepeni went to mislead the chiefs to use festivals to promote market and project development but omitted to tell them no project has made it through the finance ministry without paying an arm and a leg in bribes , talk less of the cabinet or parliamentary committees. Mafias dont need economists or bankers but rather opt for book keepers or accountants like we see in our minister of finance being shadowed spied and watched by pepeni's cousin chief director Alajih Major Tara. Look at former minister of state for development now minister of science technology with his dentist of army qualification Alajih Dr Mustafa Ahmed and tell me he is capable of contributing something good except positioning himself to collect bribes. None of this will ever end up in Ghanian media or newspapers as NDC ( mainly Ga /Ada) activists now holding national security id s go around intimidating the journalists ,editors and owners of these establishments. We know the motive for these useless utterances by pepeni as his strategy ids to hoodwink the people into believing so much has been done for development , with roads , schools etc but notice there is no railway , no health services with modern ambulances including helicopters , fire services lack fighting water tank planes or helicopters talk less of specialized fire fighting equipment as not all will pay bribes , no initiation of any strategically important industry . Just get ready for the whirlwind of propaganda and lies saying the empty projects with no direction is what we couldn't do ourselves so they did. No self respecting intellectual worth his wait will throw pearls of wisdom before this pepeni/ayigbe swine . These idiotic ndc will always blame the Akans privately or npp publicly for making them fail or the country ungovernable but in reality they just don't know how , jj failed and so will they in their tribalistic hegemony. Yes rig the elections a thousand times and each time you will fail abysmally .Let them continue to adorn themselves with vainglorious titles of esteem or positions of influence and power but as the coat doesn't make the man so all this will eventually end up in their own failure and misery BULLSHIT GALORE

THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE PRESIDENCY IS LIABLE FOR HIS DEATH. THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO PROVIDE A PROPER TRANSPORTATION FOR THE JOURNEY BUT THEY DIDN'T AND THAT ENDED UP HIS DEATH.
I THINK THE FAMILY MUST REJECT THIS OFFER AND SUE THE GOVERNMENT FOR A HUGE SUM, BECAUSE THEY HAVE A CASE TO WIN VERY BIG.

Presidency does not give rights to the leadership in dipping its hands into the state chess at will. Accountability plays the prime role in all national affairs.
The environment of the journalist's death is painfully deep, but whom are we to dictate otherwise; may his SOUL rest in peace.

As much as I sympathize with the family of Nuanah, I am equally against the payment of this money. Have we not witnessed the fate of many great Ghanaians who sacrificed their lives for Ghana but left abandoned, rejected and died in abject poverty? Nothing paid to their families. My anger is also against the ungrateful family who think the money is not enough. They needed a house instead. Sir Cecil Jones needed only 5000 dollars to survive. Mmmm!

Kofi K, l agree with you. I sympathise with Nuamah's death but there are even police officers who die in the line of duty. They are killed by armed robbers. I am not sure they get this compensation.

Respect the pressmen in all aspect because they carry the message across the country. How there you to rent scraps to pressmen and you feel comfortable relaxing in 4*4cars. The amount is nothing to write home about and it does not bring the husband alive be serious in life and think twice on pressmen.

The President told the striking doctors that he won't spend outside the budget. Was the 93,000.00 budgeted for? Hypocrisy.

This gesture by the government signifies an unholy alliance between the government and the media.While I sympathize with the the late journalist's family. The government has no business compensating the family of the journalist who died while conducting business for his company. The journalist's employer has the responsibility to compensate the family through a life insurance policy given to all employees if he had one. This gesture by the government should not set a precedence where families are expected to be compensated by the government upon the death of their love ones.
