Good Lord!!!.. What did Ghana do wrong to deserve these morons as leaders?

We had Anita... now this.

Do these hollow-heads have their speeches checked before they step out to speak publicly?

I guess not.

Mahama.... What are you going to do with this knuckle head?

I can live with that "tweea" DCE than this proponent of one crime over another.
At least, with the "tweeeeaa" guy it was his emotions that got the better part of him under those circumstances. He could have handled it a whole lot better but as human beings, sometimes situations can get away from us under raw emotions when we think or feel we are being be-littled or provoked.
Having said all that, "tweeeaa" still got the axe so I'm holding my breath about this hollow-head who blatantly "approved" one crime over the other without any 'provocation' from any of his audience. Crime is a crime, no matter the type. So Mahama, if you let 'TWEEEAA' go because of public accountability, then "CYBER CRIME" should be let go.

Your officials are making fools of themselves in public and that reflects poorly on you because of the choices your party made in putting these clowns in public offices.
No wonder Pastor Ottabil thinks we are a nation of clowns and he is a clown himself. So he's right on the money.

Given that in recent years West Africa has become a main conduit for cocaine trafficking, it's amazing that the man in charge of NACOB should know less about drugs than a backward schoolkid.

And u need to put on your thinking cap and think hard. This man is the head of a very important agency for God sake! He's telling kids it's wrong to deal with drug but 'ok' to steal. What do you think this does to Ghana"s image when many countries are losing money fighting cybercrime, just as drug trafficking? This is embarrassing and Mr. Sarpong must go.

Stupid and irresponsible headline. The fact that this idiot NACOB boss made such outrageous statement does not mean ghana endorses cyber crime.

What an idiot to head a government-run organisation at a time in this country when we're heavily saddled with massive crime, corruption at the top involving senior administrators and general incompetency galore in institutions. This character must know nothing about what constitutes crime in society - perhaps he needs to be coached in modern-day street criminology. No wonder morals in Ghana today have ebbed to the lowest critical values amongst cross-section community.

Crime is a crime, no matter how it's committed. Whether drug trafficking or internet fraud, it's still wrong and breaking the law. I've never heard an adult encouraging youths to break the law, not alone a person in such a respectable job position. If this man can make such mouth jawing statements, who knows how many drug pushers he's helped to avoid being captured. He definitely need to go.
