  Rape cases are on the increase in Ghana. Judges and WAJU of the Ghana police force must do more to protect our society. Some people have become so notorious of raping and getting away with it. Many believe that it is a weapon capable of scarring individuals to the very soul and seize the least opportunity to use it; using it on the families of their political or business competitors. Not even those at the higher echelons of our society must get away with it. It is said that a man paid a student to rape the daughter of his business and political competitor. The rapist got away with it.
  
  The number of court houses and judges in Ghana are inadequate especially in the Eastern Region of Ghana. The population has ballooned and changes have to be made. The same can be said of the number of police officers and the number of penitentiaries. On a visit to a number of court houses around the country I found the Ghana flag and the Ghana Coat of Arms (Seal) absent. This must change.

  These are no ordinary times. The devil has found a foothold on our land and showing us the stuff he's made of. I can't believe this is happening to a country that's 70 per cent Christian and 16 per cent Muslim. Whatever we sowed in corruption we are reaping today in corruption. We've come a long way. It's reaping time now and if we don't seem to like what we're getting it's way too late to effect changes. We're powerless to change the Law of the Harvest. After the unsatisfactory post season harvest we will be mindful and more circumspect as to what we plant again when the planting season begins. By the way we sow/plant daily numerous seeds, both good and evil.We cannot plant beet sugar and expect pona yams during the harvest season. We plant what we anticipate to harvest. Simple logic but sometimes too hard to comprehend and follow.

  I followed your satirical thoughts with ease. We are where we are today not by courtesy of a sudden and unplanned flight but by deliberate actions spanning over a period of more than three decades. Many are still oblivious of the times we've been ushered into thinking it's a passing cloud. No,we asked, bargained and worked for it. We dumped all our institutional values, both cultural and religious and made our bed with a maverick and his reactionaryism thinking it was a revolution. We've come full circle and found out we're worse off than 35 years ago. Corruption and intellectual crime were the preserve of few in authority. Today corruption is rife and more widespread and crime/cyber crime,pornography and immorality, poverty, hunger and disease are on the ascendancy. Our national debt has ballooned to an all time high but the money nor the projects are nowhere in sight. The only bright spot is perhaps in information technology where we have become voracious consumers. We may have to start all over again. "Did we go did we come?"
