OTIKO IS RIGHT THIS IS GOING ON FOR LONG TIME AND ARABS HAVE BEEN ABUSING OUR PEOPLE WAY TOO LONG
Let the assaulted lady press charges. I'm sure this is not the first time. Ban all marwako operations for 6mths. Pls use the monies to continue your good works empowering and making sure such atrocities against workers especi ...

I challenge Otiko to flex her macho-woman muscles to close down this junk food joint asp,
if she can do that, I predict she can be our first female president of Ghana
I don't understand why there ought to be a probe. This is a waste of time, money and resources. We all know what happened. Just fine them the amount indicated and suspend all marwako operations for 6mths. They can settle out ...

They are still living in the 17th century when ministers sits in their air conditioned offices to be fed stories.
I cannot understand some of our people sometimes. Many Ghanaians have animal brains in their heads you will see them as human being but inwardly they are animals.
At least be wise for 30min and stop thinking like baby. For your information the kumasi case is in court and the minister did condemn the act. The suspect is in remind. Too much hatred took your party to opposition.
"The suspect is in remind"
I understand what you are trying to write here but the point is,you and the minister got it wrong,we have dozens molesting that lady and you want to tell us the suspect is in remand,did you watch t ...

You got it right, bro. The Asantehene should confer the Yaa Asantewaa name on Otiko. Ghana needs more of such courageous and principled women. Bravo Otiko.
Good one, Otiko.
Sue him and his company individually and severally for $10 million for pain and suffering, and then retire.
Otiko stand for Ghana on this issue and close this Idiot restaurant for at least three months.
you said there should be a sanction pls you need to implement it as soon as possible . Close Marwako now!!!
This is just the beginning and it shows that this current government is going to make Ghana work again. I am proud of this woman and NDC stupid MPs' wanted to do evil against her.

Stop intimidating the Mawarko Company. The matter is before court. Leave the court to do its work. When tv3 unjustly sacked its workers, did u visit the premises of tv3? Bloody hypocrites.

Agbesi Kwesi,must have the brain of a cockroach to belittle anything the present ADM do.An NDC sympathiser probably. You pea-brain ,be realistic
NONSENSE: I admit I was angry a bit at the moment and saw you panic and accidentally resulting in the pepper splashing onto your face
with some quarter to three english bii
Restaurants owners too are expatriate. Ghanaian journalism, use simple English if you do not know the meaning of a word.
An expatriate is essentially and immigrant. Aka, a person that lives in another country that is originally not their own.
Don't think there's enough work on her desk. Are there not legally mandated bodies to handle this case?
Was the tv3 employers sacked or assaulted l think that the minister for employment should be in charge not Otiko so we should allow the ministers to do their job assign to them
Madam Minister thread carefully. It pays to listen before speaking. So we please you sit all parties down to listen to them before getting worked up. You may end up embarrassing everyone please
You're embarrassing. Stop it for Chrissake.
You are a big FOOL.
Well done Otiko! Make sure this rude guy gets what he deserves.I know you will do it as you are a "no nonsense"woman.Keep up the good work and go after THEM!
Sensible head.
The Probe must delved into paying of SSNIT Contributions for staffs working at Mawarko. This is not the only place such a thing is going on.
OF THE GENDER MINISTER HOW SERIOUSLY SHE PRAISED GHANAIAN WOMEN IN HER SPEECH AND WE ATE WAITING TO HEAR HER NEXT MOVE ABOUT THIS BASTARD PEPPER DIPPER PERIOD

She is no nonsense and has a titanium spine.
Just love her wits, bravely and resolve
This person can't do this on our own soil. We thank God we have a strong minister to handle this issue . Justice must be served. The lady involved must be compensated heavily. The culprit must be punished severely.

Where next?will Otiko storm or go to very foreign establishment who abuses or maltreat Ghanaians?We know of other foreign establishments like the Chinese,Indian etc
LEAVE THE SUPERVISOR ALONE. THERE ARE NO LAWS AND IMMIGRATION IN GHANA. BLACK PEOPLE ARE FOOLS.

When ministers have nothing to do that is when they will be following something as petty as this. Next, she will be putting out her phone number for people that get abused domestically to phone her. Interesting times ahead
Well talk... May u live long Mrs. Otiko

Good wild attempt but slow down for diplomacy. It will disattract investors if not properly handled.
People are calling for deportation of the marwako guy who knows if the guy in question holds Ghanain passport? cos most of these lebanese guys where born here oo. The guy cud be harry zakors nephew
