  And I guess by favourite, you mean a station that supports the let my vote count. Of course, under any democratic dispensation, the votes of all people must count. This useless attempt at trying to create the impression that NPP is the only political party that believes that everyone's vote should count, is nothing but a joke. And don't you dare try to create the impression that the demonstrators were the victim. They just reaped the fruit of their rebellion. I hope they and for that matter,any rebellious group in Ghana, henceforth would be treated with the same if not worse that what Gabby Otchere was subjected to. Meanwhile, save youtr breathe. Ghana is a democratic nation and an envy to the world.

  Raj, are you really such a bigot and a boot licking idiot? In any true democracy peaceful demonstration is allowed. Who doesn't know in Ghana that the Ghana Police Service is at the beck and call of the President. It's wrong for politicians to use an agency of state as a tool of oppression.
  There's a reason why we're labeled as a Third World country. In advanced democracies the police is not controlled by any president but by taxpayers. Your NDC is not going to be in power forever so regardless of which party is in power we must allow dissent and treat each other right for whatever is good for the geese is equally good for the gander. Our democracy is a sham if it stifles dissent. Instead of nurturing and tolerating a fake democracy just to prop up an incompetent administration we must all rise up together to defend true democracy. If the Police don't get you today they will tomorrow.

  Mensah Abrampah, your stupidity is oustanding. Where in my comments did I ever say that the police aren't under the authority of the president ??. You just come here to twist words foolishly and say what you want. My point is simple. If the courts approved a road for you, you need to comply or just go to hell. To begin throwing stones at the police, thinking that they'll allow such stupid reckless behaviour,is in it self stupidity. If you respect democracy, then democracy will respect you. They got what they deserved.

  Yes the thief should win hands down, why not. After all he is richer than Ghana and has complete animals like you (who write your own name beginning with small letters) following him. Odwan.
