My question to you is this. If you actually succeed in carding anyone who visits a porn site. Will that eradicate the moral disease plaguing this country? Corruption is the biggest moral decay which has hampered Ghana growth and development since independence. How about sex for grades, sex for jobs, sika gari, money.rituals etc etc....this directive won't create jobs pr provide revenue..meanwhile, if you go to osu the prostitution will be there, the movie houses the orruption will all be there.....the job mandate.of this cluless minister has nothing to do with gay sex or porn. Let the gender .Inkster or health minister deal.with this
