Honourable Members of Parliament, let us assume, for argument's sake, that the promoters of Agyapa Royalties are all saints, who want the best for the nation.

Child Trafficking: A Huge And Lucrative Business Across West Africa?
Not too long ago, the Ghanaian media reported the arrest of a Cameroonian lady, suspected to be a child trafficker. The children in that particular instance, were picked up at a party for kids, apparently organised regularly, at the venue, by a local charitable organisation. The question is: Why did the lady claim falsely that the Ghanaian kids were refugees?

How Can Hon. Mathew Opoku-Prempeh Leave A Legacy As Ghana's Best Ever Energy Minister?
How can Hon. Mathew Opoku-Prempeh leave a legacy as Ghana's best ever energy minister? As we face possible melt-down of our national economy, the question we ought to be pondering over as a people is: Does cutting-edge emission-free clean power technology, exist, today, which could provide reliable electricity, at rates cheaper than that from hydro-dams, and nuclear power plants?

Public Officials Serve The Sovereign People of Ghana - To Whom They Should Be Accountable At All Material Times
"The process of law that is due citizens is more than just a ritual or a procedure; it also requires judges to ask whether the law serves public or merely private ends."
- Timothy Sandefur (Adjunct Scholar at the Cato Institute.)
One read Nana Frema Busia's latest article entitled: "Ghana's Lack of Election Petition Wisdom at Age 64", with considerable interest. Although one acknowledges that one is only an ignorant old fool, one can indeed see the point she makes about the need for an independent audit, to authentic the absurd serial-errors made by the Electoral Commission (EC), in its declaration of the presidential election result. Makes sense.
A review of its own judgement on the matter, by the Supreme Court, is definitely needed. Be that as it may, in general, we need to understand, clearly, as a wise African people, that eternal vigilance, is truly the price for holding on to our freedoms, in this country.
Not many realise it, but regardless of which political party is in power, at any given point in time, under the 4th Republic, it is so easy for a tyranny to be established, by powerful and determined kleptocrats around sitting Presidents, with the unwitting blessing of cynical and unpatriotic judges - yet the media don't seem to see that. Pity.
With respect, if they genuinely believe in ensuring that ours remains a democracy, and a free African society, the media needs to make it plain, that no self-respecting judge should tolerate the dangerous situation, whereby public officials can't be compelled to appear in the witness box, when dragged to court, to account for their stewardship. Public officials serve the sovereign people of Ghana - to whom they are, and should be, accountable, at all material times. Simple. Case closed. Cool.
