Jesus Christ loves you and wants to save you from sin and its consequences. Vanity upon vanity—everything in this world is meaningless without Him. He died on the cross for your sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day. Believe in Him, accept His gift of forgiveness, and receive eternal life! (John 3:16)Lnvxddx

Thanks a lot for this comment. whoever made this decision needs to fired because the price involved could have been contained in Ghana.DNA is something simple that could have been done in GHana.

Donyina, are you still talking about embarrassment? If Ghana had a middle name, it would be Embarrassment!
Did you see how the 16 young lives which perished recently were all unceremoniously buried in one mass grave in the outskirts of the town of Obogu?
Did you know that the coffins were not even taken into the town?
Did you see how the remains of the helicopter victims were packed into cocoa sacks?
Did you see how the poor farmers were made to carry the remains on their bare heads?
Did you see that soldiers were there 'supervising' the gruesome process?
Did you see the soldiers themselves taking pictures?
Did you read about officials demanding that videos which have already gone viral should be deleted?
Have you seen how the whole government apparatus has swung into action and gone to town over the death of the 8 while no-one spares a thought for the 16 young ones, all children of the poor?
I would say that as a nation, we have gone past embarrassment.

The politicians and leaders of this country behave like ostriches and vultures. They want the entire nation to cry because a couple of them died. How many lives have been lost on roads in Ghana due their poor conditions, absence of dual roads, corrupt officials who fail to enforce road traffic laws and allow unworthy cars to ply our roads. They careless about the ordinary Ghanaians because they hear and see nothing simply because they all drive four wheel drives with closed windows in airconditionings and sirens, and drive at top speeds with blue flashlights simply because they have a position called govt officials. In simple twi adage,” woto Adu bone a, ebi ka wano”, translating, you taste a bit of your bad medicine. You guys are very wicked, you misuse the nations monies anyhow all in the name of entitlement. You can’t even perform dna in Ghana, nonsense!

You've got it wrong. The sample sent to S.Africa was just a further test for second opinion. This is what happens when there's no clear communication. It's a failure of the Army public relations and MOH.

Ignorance is not an easy sickness. The police have them. Is GHANA not having universities, why do we travel outside to obtain similar degrees from those institutions. Reason is not a common commodity.

Politics in Africa and for that matter Ghana are for people with low IQ. Even if the lab in SA does do any analysis and tag a name to each sample, how are we to know was not done? The South Africans can just take our money and give us any fake results and we would be happy! After identifying the charred bodies, what benefits are we going to derive from the results? Are we not going to bury them? Why not give them a mass burial and use the money for a good course? We can use the money we are going to spend since they died and the money the state is going to spend on their funerals to do something that can benefit the society and immortalise their names. Sadly in Ghana we respect the dead more than the living.

Is it bcos section of the public will dispute the results or on what grounds did the gov't take that path ? Others will frown on much talked about digital successes chalked by Ghana in recent years so that decision is bad.

This country is not serious koraaaa …

I think the authorities in charge of this country need to do away with party politics when decisions made to get this country moving forward.

Everything is just not right. I spent 50 years living in USA I came home to enjoy my retirement but I found very very very serious stuff with this county’s management.

The people here in this country ought to consider the experience and expertise of diasporas to help get things right . Everything is just wrong,wrong wrong procedure and practices wise.

I am surprise at this 21st century there isn’t no highways in the country, heavy commercial trucks drives in left lanes , heavy commercial trucks not capable to be on road heavy commercial truckers aren’t having safety devices and lighting to be on road . There is absolutely no logistics at all in this country …how the hell they even boarded such a dead end helicopter in the first place?
The country maintenance issue is a huge problems from road to equipment to homes ..everything is just elapsed..not working right ..the people in charge do see common thing’s needed to be taken care off…they just run around kidding around simple.
This country need discipline and work ethics..

And a very lacking system thinking approach to solve problems… it doesn’t make sense at all ..at all those fine men transported by such a dead end helicopter..look at how trucks slam pedestrians. 13 years ago a truck slamed and kill schoolchildren at Takiradi yet same faulty trucks are on road with faulty brakes and everything including even those operating them so illiterates and unprofessionals ,,, why?
