The most lawless country in the world now is Ghana. Embezzlement of government funds cannot be prosecuted any longer but they will ask you to pay the money back and if you are not catch you will take it for free because we have a corrupt president as John Dramani mahama Dwanfunu man.

A Chinese co-worker, told me that before they leave Africa, all the minerals will be cleaned or mined leaving the continent with nothing but misery.

That is why I always insist that the black man , especially the Ghanaian has no sense. Educate him to the chew pour and pass Ph.D ,he has no common sense and vision. How on earth do you sit in your house and allow an outsider to torment in your own house and the gov't sees nothing ,and does nothing. They could not see the damage to the environment by the activities of these Chinese and the Fulanis and the feeble protests from the people fall on deaf ears.Is there hope? I don't see any.

It is really unfortunate that we have been having only short sighted and lazy to think politicians who have been in the office of the state for most of the time. They enter the office with only one aim; GET RICH NOW, THIS IS YOUR TIME SO NEVER LOOSE IT. Anything concerning the nation's welfare is out of their scope. Otherwise how come that parliamentarians and their assembly-men/women would be so much interested in the title "HONORABLE?"But we must be sorry that only undeserved people get the chance to enter into out parliament. I will always continue to suggest that our present system is not favorable. I mean this winner take all system is poisonous to the nation's survival. The nation has no way of checking the character traits of aspiring candidates to the nation's high office. I think it would be beneficial for us to abolish this one-man-presidency and develop a presidential council that would be the sole controller of the government of the day. That time we would vote for a prime-minister and his team and this council would the check whatever the government does, reserve the power to call the prime-minister for meetings and warnings on whatever is wrongly done for immediate change. Through this, power will not be in the hands of any one person. It is the investment of full power into the hands of a winning party that is killing us. We need to change that poisonous system if we want to survive like Malaysia has done. We need a complete change of our constitution and our entire administration. Presently no one has the nation at heart. Were they having the nation at heart, they would have never introduced the thief's system of EX-GRACIA. No serious nation will ever practice this nonsense. I pray that a real patriotic citizen will one day rise up and say I STAND TO REFUND THE ENTIRE EX-GRACIA I HAVE COLLECTED. All these are loop-holes that allow the president to be corrupt.

No wai so don't worry yourself. Just do what you think is right but if the law says it's not right, just don't be caught. If you wil, be caught also, make sure you have enough cash to twist the law to your favor.

Having read the first few comments, I am sad people tend to play politics instead of making sensible contributions. Who makes the laws ? Humans, Who are suppose to obey the laws ? Humans. Who are suppose to implement and see to the laws working ? Humans. Who breaks the laws ? Humans. Rather unfortunately Michael, it is not about the laws not working, it's simply about the indiscipline nature of our inner selfs . We are so soo indiscipline that no laws within the country can help control us. Solution is to find inner discipline. We can control what is within us but not what is outside us, yet if we can control what is within us, we can in a way influence what is outside us. I leave you Michael, with this, ponder over it carefully, " THE FEAR OF THE LAW IS THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM " . Do we fear and respect our laws ?

Indiscipline itself is punishable if it leads the undisciplined character to infringe the law. The problem is that those charged with enforcing the law don't do so, which emboldens those willing to flout the laws to do so. Too bad for Ghana!!

You don't seem to know what Dr. Bokor is complaining about. Are Ghanaians living or immigrating to all parts of the world doing things with impunity as the Chinese and Fulanis are doing in Ghna? How many Ghanaians have ganged up to rear cattle in the open in the USA or wherever they may be? How many Ghanaians have entered any forest reserve where they live in those countries to do things anyhow?

Think more deeply about issues before you jump into the conversation.

If you really know the problems being talked about, you won't be so stupid as to talk the way you've done. Can you find out why the Busia government enacted the Aliens' Compliance Law and enforced it in the 1970's to flush out those considered as undesirables?

In your stupidity, you can't know that the problems caused by those entering Ghana didn't start with the Mahama administration!!

People like you are part of the problem facing Ghana. When Mahama wins Election 2016, you will rush into the Atlantic Ocean to drown or dash out of Ghana into the Sahara Desert to perish (Dying by heat is good for people like you).

Very informative. Ghana is a joke. Go to China and see how they treat their immigrants. Wake up, Ghanaians, and stop being intimidated by people with light skin: calling them "Abrofo" and being afraid of them. These Fulanis from Mali. Do they have correct and up to date documentation? Why argue when there is no one to enforce our laws. If I had my way everyone working for the Govt. will be fired. I mean it. Ghana is a joke. No one gets fired in Ghana. A building collapses and no one gets fired. Meanwhile, somebody didn't do their job-leading to the loss of lives. Fulanis are killing people in Agogo and no one is arrested but if an Agogo man kills a herdsman, he gets a jail term. Do our laws exempt foreigners? Chinese immigrants kill people in the villages and they walk. Ghana is a joke! Who is to enforce the law? If Mahama won't fire those who are not upholding the law then he must be fired or impeached. Too much lawlessness. Too much corruption. No one cares. We have become the laughing stock of the world because everything goes in Ghana if you have money to bribe your way. The country has come to a point where one has to practice "Kalabule" to survive. It has become the norm. It is no longer a sin anymore. Ghana is a joke!!!

Even our leaders and chief would not hesitate to spare their seats to Arabs and the Chinese because they are White.What is happening in Ghana is so much alarming. Honestly, there is no law in Ghana working. To quote Ace Ankoma. Ghana has fine laws but can't enforce them. Nowhere on earth would this happen. Our leaders are so much corrupt to the extend that, they are prepared to exchange their wives for money matter what. I can swear that no politician is in Parliament for the good of this country, but for he and his family. The time will come when we the citizens would do what we have elected them to do, but are not doing it. Very soon.
