You’re my friend. You’re running a company. You charge people for your services including me but when you need any legal service, you expect that I do it for free. Meanwhile you don’t give me free or even discounted rates.
Why do people treat lawyers this way?
As a Gh HR/Finance person,you don’t have a problem paying $7000 a month as rent for an expat, Lincoln school fees, 2 business class tickets for the expat to visit his home country but you’ve a problem with fellow Ghanaian asking for Ghs 15,000 salary each month
You’re just evil!
I don’t know her but this is sad. Life barely makes sense.
You work so hard, gain admission to pursue a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering at Clemson only to die at 23! 23 years.
May God comfort her family and friends.
4 weeks ago, someone with $10,000 which was Ghs80,000 is now Ghs 16,000 richer for no work done.
If someone had Ghs80,000 which was $10,000 at the time, it’s now equivalent to US$ 8,333. That person has lost about $1,700 through no fault of his.
The issue of TOR breaks my heart. I personally presented several proposals to TOR, from optimizing the current refinery, expanding TOR and having equity in the proposed new refinery. They didn’t mind me. The last proposal I sent, ‘my’ company’s revenue was €13.095 billion.
The day our parents and grandparents picketed and cried for their own money, I knew things were very very bad but WAEC waiting for funds for marking? That’s a new record.
Your whole life, you hear some before?
Everything is just vibes under this government. Mess everywhere.
My ‘crime’ was my intervention when several officers of

manhandled this journalist.
I was physically assaulted by some officers, detained for hours.
Thanks to my learned friends, I have been released. Be assured I’ll take steps to remedy this recklessness.

@S_OkudzetoAblak
.
It’s pretty embarrassing how opaque this government is.
It is alleged that some parents in government are under serious attack and have been summoned before powerful persons because their kids participated in the protest.
Let’s not make it worse by dragging these kids. We should applaud them for their boldness!
#OccupJulorbiHouse
Is it that President Nana Addo doesn’t listen or Bawumia wants to fanfool Ghanaians because how can a sitting Vice President who is the head of the government’s Economic Management Team, be campaigning like an opposition leader?
As a journalist, you discussed banku, types of brodo and all manner of foods when young protesters were arrested during the
#OccupyJulorbiHouse
demonstration but you’re actively discussing the Kenyan protest.
Don’t you feel embarrassed? Do you have conscience at all?
Reminds me of how these NPP MPs defended the passing of the e-levy yet applauded Dr. Bawumia when he promised to abolish e-levy if he becomes president.
It is difficult to understand or explain how the very same MPs who yesterday voted yes to the Finance Bill 2024 are today clapping as President Ruto refuses to sign the same into law.
The older generation of this country, after completely failing this generation and generations unborn, have strategically conditioned the youth of this country with partisan politics and tribalism, to the extent that lots of young educated people defend nonsense and mediocrity.

It’s morning huddle. Bankers especially the branches use that time to plan the day, review previous day’s work and discuss any outstanding issue. I worked as a banker for a couple of years. It’s a very important meeting. Don’t reduce it to just “praises and worship”.
The journalist, Vincent Kojo Oppong Nkrumah Esq. was liked and admired by many.
Can we say same about the politician Kojo Oppong Nkrumah? Honestly, I thought he was going to be different. Sad reality. Partisan politics destroys people.
@thejosephmireku
Chief, there are allegations the state sponsored this trip for you to attend the Grammys last year.
Is this true?
Did you purchase your own air ticket and ticket for the awards ceremony? What about accommodation? Did you receive per diem?
No NPP paraphernalia in sight so how do you arrive at the conclusion that it's NPP? If we can oppose the government without being part of the partisan opposition, then surely, we can equally support the government without being NPP affiliates
Being called to the Bar in Ghana as a Barrister and Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Ghana is a big deal! Let no one deceive you. Congratulations to our new Lawyers! Be proud of this achievement. To the Bar and Beyond! Don’t forget, be at the Bar with a plan!!
The Fight Against Galamsey is the most deceptive campaigns by any government in the history of this country.
If not complicity and dishonesty,how can a govt with Police,Army,MMDCEs, Regional Ministers,MPs,Ministers lose a battle against galamsey which is mostly done in the open?
Thank you

The lawyer

was arrested because when protesters pushed in and the police started manhandling them a female reporter started taking a video. More than 5 policemen rushed on her and asked her to stop taking the video. Rockson stepped in and he was arrested.
Not long ago, we were all joking about the cedi ‘Breaking the 8’!
The cedi, in just about two years, has depreciated by over 100%, from Ghs 7 to a dollar to almost Ghs 15 to a dollar.
If Ghs 4 to US$1 was tagged ‘incompetence’, how do we describe Ghs 15 to a dollar?
The NPP folks promoting Breaking the 8, is it to suggest the NPP would ensure the Cedi reaches 8 cedis to a dollar or that a litre of fuel would go up to 8 cedis?
We are currently at breaking the 7 between the dollar and a littre of fuel 😭
You’ve been President for almost 7 years. You claim Planting for Food and Jobs and 1D1F have been successful yet look at Number 10! Almost 7 years! We shouldn’t be having this conversation if those policies are yielding the expected results as you claim.
Taking cognisance of events that have occurred and the details contained in this document (even though we still don’t know the source of the document), it is my utmost belief that this document is authentic

Years ago, Paul Adom Otchere made Metro Tv’s Good Evening Ghana a formidable programme. Today, he is destroying same. I was an ardent follower of GEG years ago. I don’t remember the last time I watched that programme.
If Godfred Dame Yeboah Esq. had a tape of this nature where a lawyer held these discussions with prosecution’s witness in a criminal matter, I’m more than certain he would have referred the lawyer to the General Legal Council.
Let’s be honest, this is in bad taste!
Kudos Greater Accra Branch of GBA.

Credit Ghanaians with some intelligence, Richard.
When we were asking the President to downsize, you justified the elephant-sized government, with all sorts of analogies.
At the time, didn’t you know President Akufo Addo needed to run a “lean and efficient” government?
Bawumia, as President, will run a lean and efficient government of 50 Ministers. Mahama will run a large and inefficient government of 60 or more Ministers.
Please Ghana, let's vote for a lean and efficient Bawumia NPP administration.
I like lean and efficient Bawumia

This data must not be interpreted flatly. What’s Ghana’s population compared to the countries listed there?
You’d be surprised that if the raw data (exact number of listeners per country) is provided and it is analyzed per population of each country, the ranking may change.
Eventually, I came to a conclusion that people were just not ready and willing for TOR to be efficient and effective.
It made no sense that consistently, Management/Govt refused and or failed to consider proposals that in some cases didn’t need TOR to invest even a cedi.
👨🏾🍳🇬🇭✊🏾: A big thank you to these gallant & bold lawyers who joined forces with other young lawyers(not included in this photo) to represent the protesters at the various police stations.

@MichaelBlackson
Well done! Kindly make sure you put in place solid management team especially for the maintenance of the facility. Generally, Ghanaians are not too good at that.
One day, we need to have a conversation on “contract/temp staff” and “permanent staff” doing same work , same JD but different conditions of service. Typical example; tellers at a bank.
These exploitations must stop at some point!
JFK, who describes himself as a “son” of Rev. Kusi Boateng wished him “Happy Birthday” on 07 July 2022. Unless he’s not the holder of this diplomatic passport, how is his date of birth 30 July?

The auditor general released a list of politicians, MPs, heads of institutions and their associates who benefited from GETFund. This is public information. The original intent was to provided scholarships to brilliant but needy students. Look at this list

How is the CEO still occupying that office?
Driving in the night in Ghana is an extreme sport. It’s just driving by faith. No streetlights, poor road markings, oncoming vehicles driving with headlights etc. You’ll be driving nor you’ll hear kuum! Some deep pothole in the middle of the road. It’s really a struggle.

If you had $20,000 in January 2021, the cedi equivalent was Ghs 116,000.
Today, same $20k is Ghs 126,400.
If you had Ghs 116,000 in January,2021 which was equivalent to $20,000, today it is $18,354. You’ve lost almost $1,700. I don’t want to talk about the value of the cedi.

In most cases, none of them. The major challenge here is Ghanaians recommending low salaries to these expats. In my case, I negotiated my conditions with the expats. Subsequently, some Ghanaians in management tried to fight it.

eh!! You can’t even protect your members yet you’re boldly increasing annual dues.
What is the basis for these outrageous dues?

So true. I needed a sensor. The guy was selling it for Ghs 2,700, after a spirited negotiation. I checked online and it was $30. One of the mega shops at Accra mall was selling a tv for Ghs 22,000. I checked online and it was $450.

The irony is that these people suddenly find their voices anytime the opposition or John Mahama is involved.
If not hypocrisy, how are you holding the opposition to a higher standard than the government you pay your taxes to? Look at the mess!

That’s true. Imagine placing someone in a lower job grade and paying him below the salary structure only for the person to find out later. That’s how wicked some HRs are.

4. Minister; Finance, Education and Sports (Kufuor Administration) 2001-2009.
7 months to the end of their regime and the former senior minister and current senior presidential advisor is saying we should think outside the box. When did he come to this realization?

It’s been almost 20 hours since that the alleged proof of misconduct on the part of the learned Attorney-General was published.
No word from the Presidency or Office of the Attorney-General. The Ghana Bar Association is quiet (honestly, I don’t expect anything from them).
