  There are many fields where Ghana lacks the needed expertise. To solve this problem the government of Ghana has over the decades made scholarships available for the needed human resource to be trained abroad. In some cases so many people were sent and not even one returned. If you know you are not prepared to work and live in Ghana and would therefore not return do not take the scholarships.
  
  The Takoradi Poly Students who were sacked for applying with fake certificates must be prosecuted in a court of competent jurisdiction. Just sacking them is not enough.
  
  Nowadays businesses and government organisations have stopped demanding Secondary School Certificate or Basic Education Certificate.
  
  Each of these certificates are important. For example for many tertiary graduates the only certificate that can tell whether one can speak good English or whether one has adequate knowledge of Mathematics is the Secondary School Certificate.
  
  Similarly the only certificate that can tell whether a tertiary graduate has basic knowledge of Ghanaian history, culture, agriculture and the basic geography of West Africa is the Basic Education Certificate.

  What are you talking about? As long as the indidgenous biotop of lake Bosumtwi is used to Farm Tilapia, the Lake is doomed to collaps!

  I do not think the Forestry Commission alone can achieve the laudable goals set for the Committee. The Commission has a horrible track record of supervising or directing the sustenance or enhancement of the natural potential of our Forest Estates, and I am afraid that would be the case for the potential of the Lake and its Ecology.
  
  Any such Committee as the Forestry Commission proposes must strongly feature the participation of the Ministries of Agriculture, the Fisheries, Interior and Education, and the EPA.
  
  It is only with serious collaboration with all these Institutions that those goals would most likely succeed.
  
  The near extinction of our Tropical Forests and the abandonment of efforts to expand tree cover in the Savannah areas of the Northern and Upper Regions erode much of the confidence in the Forestry Commission to solely successfully manage such a vital venture.
  
  The Forestry Commission should have considered a similar Committee to confront the fast deterioration of our Forests and the devastating illegal Lumber operations all over the Country long time ago.
  
  The Commission has to take the full responsibility of pushing Ghana into the needy pit of us having to import Wood to supplement our current availability.
  
  The efforts to save the Bosomtwi area must include simultaneous aggressive measures to contain the loss of our Forests in the whole Country. If not, the Bosomtwi program would turn out to be a desperate attempt to keep only a relic of what we used to have for Forests in Ghana. It would be a concession of our failure as guardians of that special Estate our Ancestors procured and saved for us and our posterity.
  
  Long Live Ghana!!!
