VOTER REGISTER NOW A TALK OF THE DAY

The voter register of the republic of ghana is now the talk event of the day where political parties are taking their turns to make their intention known to the public and Electoral Commission whether to change or maintain the register that was used during the 2012 elections. Despite their take on it i have taken my turn to also make my intention known and my take on the register. this is not based on any affiliation to a political regime but rather as a concern citizen. many ghanaians will hit on me with my opinion as it is common in the country. If i remember vividly during the hearing of the  2012 election petition, Dr. Afari Gyan declared that the reason why the presidential voter register is more than the parliamentary register is due to the fact that there are ghanaian citizens working outside the country for the state and therefore need to vote in the presidential  but rather cannot vote in the parliamentary all because they do not live here.

Who is a stateman?

When Prof. Adei came out to say that the ghanaian parliament is corrupt the parlaimentarians came to say he was looking for attention whiles others wanted him dragged to the priviledges committee of parliament. a real statesman is not the person who speaks about the country in its bad state but someone who speaks the truth of his/her workplace. I was glad when Hon. Alban Kingsford Bagbin came out to vividly support what the learned professor said. This is a man who seeks for the welfare and good name of the ghanaian parliament. many are those who will only sit idle and wait to be dragged to face to speak the truth. What will one get when he seeks money before approving a budget or project that will benefit the nation? Nothing of course nothing. I am very sorry for all those parliamentarians who wants the Professor to be dragged to the priviledges committee when the know that that is what they do.

IS THE LAW EQUAL TO ALL?

We always hear the saying that the law is no respecter of person and everyone is equal before the law but in the case of my role model, journalist com lawyer, Anas Aremeyaw Anas, the law seems to be burned in his favour. listening to the argument of lawyer Ndebugre i see that the law seems to favour the senior undercover world journalist in a way that a person needs not to face a judicial committee with a wool or mask or anything to cover the face to prevent it from being seen but in this case Anas did that and the custodians of the law sees no wrong with that. Another point where i will support my role model is the fact that it is known worldwide that he shows not his face in matters concerning investigations and people here in Ghana knows him but may not vividly recognize him because of the fact that he has change the name he really uses. I think the law should and is sometimes burnt on matters of this sort and this is an issue of public interest and i see no harm in him not showi
