If only a fight against killer drugs like this could not have the support of gov't institutions then I find it absolute stupid for such a gov't to continue in office.

You ask: "WHAT HAS HE ACHIEVED, PLEASE?" ???

I suppose he has almost succeeded destroying another Ghanaian-owned Business.

I would hail him if he succeeded at least frowning at a European misconduct. I do not expect FDA to talk against Foreigners, because a mouth secretely filled with money should better remain shut.

It is a shame that our president together with some of our politicians have allowed the love of money to clowd their mind.Some of these people jump from church to church and even travel with priest for protection around the world. It is time we take our destiny into our hands and get rid of these people. Where our kings and chiefs, church leaders, members of council of state and our so called media men. Time will soon tell.The international community is quiet while pregnant women and children die from the use of fake drugs. God help us fight these criminals.

Another fool* of a writer soaked in NDC non.sense who does not understand that Opuni didn't give a damn about fake medicines. He was the one who used the FDA to open all the doors for Tobinco to flood Ghana with drugs he later claimed were fake after his demands for shares in Tobinco's factory was rebuffed. Do you know the number of importers in Okaishie bringing in fake medicines but are untouchable but are protected by the same Opuni? Do u know why Osons was not investigated by the FDA after they brought in containers full of fake drugs? Not to talk about EOCO? This foo*l of a writer does not even know that Opuni started lobbying for the COCOBOD job more than a year ago and that he sent huge amounts of money and delegations to that corrupt Asante chief - Osei Tutu - to lobby on his behalf, leading to this appointment. Ghanaians are so dumb and stupid they don't even bother to learn about stuff before opening their big mouths to let out tosh from their block heads!

I can agree with you more. Well written article and a clever analogy. How can we move on as a country when we play the ostrich. Let all the pastors and their church members holding vigil for Tobinco offer themselves as guinea pigs for the fake India drug. Can anyone tell me how to contact Dr. Opuni? I am a sweet 23 yr old lady pharmacist in London. I think I offer myself to Dr. Opuni for his service to my mother Ghana. Am sure he cant resist ... lol

Opuni is exactly who we do not need to head any establishment. This man is so full of himself, people in his office have to stand from the time he walks in the door till he gets seated. Anyone that behaves like that must be sick in the head. No corrupt person should hold the position he did ad the FDA. He should be investigated for his corruption at the helm of the FDA. It is sad that he gets to continue with his dubious practices at the COCOBOD.

It's too early to call for celebrating Dr Opuni.Every body is entitle to his opinion as one sees things.Dr Opuni could be doing the country good and at the same time doing the country harm.Dr Opuni decision has call to question.It is a mystery to call a potency drug a fake product without a laboratory for testing.Doctors and scienists in advance countries has realise that doctors misdiagnose patients provide them with drugs that speed them to premature death.Now with their thinking and farther research realise drugs do not treat the same illness in two different people because of our GENES and BLOOD GROUPS and lack of patients communication and elabrating with doctors and Doctors depamd patients to blood test before they precribe medicine and ask if they allegic to drugs.Now drugs has come in two from Orthox and Genetics with diffenert potency that does not mean they fake.This ia lack of the author understandingof the real picture and call for celebrating DR.Opuni.

Mr.Opuni may have good intentions but acted wrongly.You can not close down a whole factory where people are gainfully employed. Mr. Opuni should have identified all the fake drugs and force Tobinco to recall all the drugs from the public, and also made to pay penalties and heavy compensations to affected people who used the drugs. The factory must not be closed down but, strong measures must be put in place to check illegal activities. This is what FDA should have done.

Good article but Kpakpo didn't explain much why the government took the actions it did. Perhaps Opuni may have not acted in the correct manner even if he had a good case. One should really hear BOTH sides of the issue before condemning one person.

By why are there so many petty grammatical errors in this piece? Past and present tenses are mixed in the description of the same phenomena, verb forms do not agree with their subjects and a few expressions wrongly used. C'mmon, wake up Kpakpo. You write better than this!

Thank you for this article. I agree with you 100%.We are not serious about fighting corruption in our country, if we were, we should have stood firmly behind Dr Opuni and his team.
