  The story is that, the school submitted only 47 students earlier and those have been processed. You can verify it from students and the ministry. Then the rest of the students agitated at the campus, then the principal told them he had finished every thing and the burden was with the ministry and GHS even though he had been queried on the second list which he delayed to respond. He even gave them names they could pressurise when they should get to Accra. 8 Metro buses went to campus and slept overnight to pick those students to Accra. When the the students got to Accra and media attention was brought to bear on the authorities as to why they allowed the students to mass up at Accra, the principal denied knowledge. Remember that was the first day of the current minister on the Job. Then the Minister set up a committee to investigate the happenings at the school which is ongoing. And so the board and principal panic and start preasuring students and issuing threats. They were called names by the same Nana and asked to write apology letters and they refused to do so. The board and principal are fighting for their jobs not for students nor government. They know the mess they have caused. I understand they have issued another letter 'withholding' the suspension letters even though I don't understand what that means.

  WE SAY: We agree.
  
  No suspension is warranted in this case. In fact, these shallow-minded officials should apologize to the students they suspended.

  Get this straight, there is no democracy or a semblance of it in Mahama's Ghana. Just look around and testify for yourself, everything is not working, every institution infiltrated. SAD.

  Why suspend the students? My goodness! where are we heading to? This so called board chairman is a disgrace to Ghana's democracy and l will be extremely suprise if he is not fired.
