GEORGINA WOOD IS UNPATRIOTIC
The Chief Justice of Ghana is very unpatriotic for blocking the decentralization of Legal Education. Her stubborn stance has led to many Ghanaians not knowing their rights as enshrined in our law books and, for that reason, a lot of foreign entities have fleeced Ghanaians and many of our compatriots are unaware of it.
I am one person who, through my single efforts, has been able to protect many Ghanaians from being cheated by the Telcos through short codes 1733 and 1303. Any Ghanaian who receives messages from these short codes has automatically been short-changed. It happened to me on some few occasions and when I protested and asked for a refund, I was able to get GHC7.55 back - to my surprise. Imagine some 5million subscribers of that telco being deducted this amount monthly. You can now see how the Telcos are making cheap money and repatriating it back to their countries all because majority of Ghanaians don't know law. Later when I checked those behind this dubious deal I was told the company's name is MTech and almost all the directors are from Eastern Nigeria. Initially when I started the fight, NCA personnel did everything to frustrate me but because I had sound knowledge in Global Corporate and Business Law, I was able to trap them after which they had no option than to divulge sensitive information to me. How was I able to acquire the knowledge to salvage Ghanaians? It is because I got the chance to subscribe to a programme by distance learning, at the comfort of my home, even though I had to part ways with some few British Pounds. You see, if the British have made it possible for me to acquire such a wonderful legal knowledge, what prevents our Legal Council from putting measures in place to decentralize Legal Training? My people, I am currently battling a foreign bank in Ghana which is also fleecing their unsuspecting clienteles. I know I am going to win without a lawyer because I have a superior legal knowledge - thanks to the Queen of England who has made this possible.
Well, critics of the decentralized system have argued in favour of quality and my question is; after practicing the current centralized system for decades what have we achieved apart from high court judges taking bribes.

Human rights abuse. You can't force communal work on people, it's backward

Do the police know their job at all, if so, how on earth does an aseembly man cause the arrest of a citizen just because he refused to get involve in a communal labour and for that mater a student.

So an assembly man can order an arrest and then decide who gets bail? The stupid assembly man should jailed

The state of lawlessness in the Ejisu District is one too many. The police must be held on check for gross abuse of human right. The police Bribe-check points are too many in the District. I think the police force is overstaffed in Ejisu. we called on the IGP to open his eyes.

the city authorities should hire ppl to do the cleaning.cant u tax bisneses, lands, property ownrs, tolls, garbage collection etc, watr bills, etc the city must also invest such resources etc and use such proceeds to hire communal laborers to do the cleaning. why should u slave kids to do such work? the kids also have chores at home. irresponsible dummy leaders. with brains of babboons. such primtive behaviors will stagnate gh development. unless a child or student is being punished. they shouldnt be made to do any communal or school chores. hire ppl to do them. why do u think pl pay taxes and tuition...idiots!

Oh poor Ghana. What a hell is the police doing? Under which law in Ghana states that a juvenile participate in communal labor? Even mature people refuse and they go scort free. Pls human rights activists, the Chief Justice, social services and the general public should sit up to condemn this atrocious act of the assembly man and the police commander not leaving the IGP . IGP these are the things you should bother yourself with and stop the transfers u re embarking upon. Pls let justice prevail we're citizens not spectators
