  Like I said earlier, Oye Lithur was right to ask her deputy and director to return the child. You can't just take someone's child because of sickness and give that child your name.

  Oye Lithur should go further than simply ordering the child to be sent back to the Osu Children Home by ensuring that as the Minister for the Department of Social Welfare she tells her government to provide the necessary resources and tools and at the right times for the effective and judicious performance of the duties of that Ministry as bestowed on them by law. Failure to do that and simply ordering the personnel to do the right thing as if they are not trained to do what is expected of them and thus making those Officers look incompetent in the eyes of the public is being unfair those Officers. Our Ministers should first ensure that the departments within the Ministries they superintend over are first given their requested budget for operations before they have the moral right to hold their personnel accountable.

  My brother, your title, 'development communicator' baffles me. Can you fill me in on what it means and how you practise it?

  This is civilised way of dealing with issues. The media think they can distroy one's hard won reputation by putting out any falsehood unto the air. Well done Nana Oye.

  How come the Department of Social Welfare and indeed the Deputy Minister hand over the baby to the two women without due process of the law. Human beings are not fowls that can easily be sold to people. In Ghana, people do not respect the law therefore people in authority behave as if our forefathers wrote those laws without thinking about the implications. The Deputy Minister and the Director of the Department of Social Welfare (who acted contrary) should be punished to serve as a deterrent to other staff and government appointees.
