Justice under fire II
01 Sep 2010 | 08:40 AM
|
| A lot has been said and done since Dr. Kwabena Adjei’s mad effusions about the judiciary. The magistrates and judges association (I didn’t even know there was such a thing) have made it clear that politics is often the last thing on their mind. They also told Kwabena Adjei off ... |

| A friend introduced me to Rudyard Kipling’s poem earlier this year. It’s a masterpiece and as I continue to ponder over the NDC’s needless attacks on the judiciary, I wish I had money to print Mr. Kipling’s inspiring words on cards to be distributed among all the judges in the ... |

Justice under fire
18 Aug 2010 | 08:25 AM
|
| There is no doubt that government needs to win a court case – and fast. So far, in its bid to justifiably prosecute officials of the Kufuor regime perceived to have engaged in corruption, the Mills administration has suffered more humiliation than any government can bear.
If it were a ... |

Another piece of (useless) paper
17 Aug 2010 | 08:19 AM
|
| After months of haggling, not to mention uncertainty and needless controversy, vice President John Mahama launched the national youth policy to great funfare at Elmina. Coming just a few weeks after the dismissal of Sekou Nkrumah, who had criticized the Mills administration for literally sitting on the policy, the administration ... |

Premature Discharge?
12 Aug 2010 | 08:59 AM
|
| It may be sheer incompetence. Or there might be a conspiracy most of us are unaware of. Either way, someone is not doing what he or she gets paid to do well. And that’s why we see people like Charles Wireko-Brobby and his uncle, Kwadwo Mpiani, smiling where they should ... |

It takes one to know one
10 Aug 2010 | 07:12 AM
|
| I was in the Joy Newsroom on Saturday evening when I heard John Kufuor condemning his successor’s record against corruption. He said that “corruption is becoming incarnate; we see corruption everywhere.” Immediately I heard those words, I turned to one of my colleagues and said: “look who’s talking.”
I knew ... |

GUEST BLOGGER: On STX, who is being mischievous?
03 Aug 2010 | 07:14 AM
|
| By Nana Ama Agyemang Asante
Somebody within the ruling NDC government has clearly gone mad. No, really. The party has announced plans to pursue the STX-Korea housing deal by sending the flawed contract back to parliament. Yes, it is the same $1.5billion for 30,000 houses that Imani Ghana warns will rack ... |

GUEST BLOGGER: Criminal Libel By The Back Door?
29 Jul 2010 | 07:20 PM
|
| By Rodney Nkrumah Boateng
It is common ground among many observers of Ghana’s media landscape that the quality of journalism in the country leaves much to be desired. The crass language, the inaccuracies, the downright deliberate lies and propaganda that pass for news are all a cause for great concern. ... |

CHARGED: …But, no shakin’
26 Jul 2010 | 09:18 AM
|
| Since the police CID decided to charge me with publishing false news with the intention to cause fear and alarm, there has been an outpouring of support and encouragement from people far and near. “We are behind you,” is a phrase I’ve heard a lot recently.
I’ve also heard a ... |
