  Many in our society ignorantly think that psychiatric patients are inhabited by legions of evil spirits which must be exorcized into pigs.....just as Jesus did.
  However, many could be treated and rejoin society to contribute their quota. What we need is a commitment to their treatment, welfare and well-being, not any exorcism by the so-called spiritual churches.
  Thanks for highlighting the plight of the mentally ill.

  Startling, this "prayer camp" business!
  
  But we suppose that is what we get when people in authority and observers conflate their personal religious fervor with public policy that at its core must be secular in any democracy worth its name.
  
  ITEM: The government should not be in the business of promoting, sponsoring, or other wise using government resources for "prayer camps" of any type.
  
  I like Ms. Bolus's suggestion that "three Ministers ...Housing, Health, Education jointly work together in forging a package..."
  
  Also, Prof Lungu would suggest that this same approach is required to address the case of the "vagabond and beggar" able-bodied men trying to make a living on many of Ghana's streets and roadways, peacefully!
  
  Yes, we need viable regional, district, and local approaches to solving many of these wicked social problems.
  
  Thanks, Mercy Adede Bolus, we are today, again, richer by your timely, and informative essay.

  We must take our African worldview into consideration when doing research.
