Honourable,With the greatest respect, your New Patriotic Party's (NPP) minority parliamentary caucus needs to wake up to the fact that if the Mahama administration fails, what has happened in Burkina Faso will happen here too - and the corruption-riddled 4th Republic will be abolished as the prelude to a revolution that will be bloody and affect politicians across the spectrum, oooo.

Sage,The many tribulations faced by a brilliant and hardworking female Diasporan entrepreneur, who has reached the point where today she wants to sell her hospitality sector gem, on the shores of Lake Bosumtwi in the Ashanti Region's Abono village, is a case study in all that's wrong with our system - which one hopes can guide local administrations nationwide, as the resetting of our bankrupted national economy by the Akyem Mafia, proceeds apace.

Honourable, we all say yes and bravo to you, for insisting that all Kumasi residents are and should remain law-abiding always - however, physically assaulting recalcitrant individuals among them is unlawful and barbaric, wai. Don't break laws yourself to correct the actions and inactions of lawless people, oooo, wai. Yoooooooooo... Don't go down that slippery slope, whatever you do.

Dear Mr. Eratus Asare Donkor,Unlike most Ghanaian media professionals who take an active interest in vexed environmental issues such as galamsey, illegal logging for chainsaw bushcut lumber production, illegal hunting, and illegal sandwinning, I actually come from a land-owning family with one of the largest freehold landholding portfolios in Ghana's Eastern Region's biodiversity-rich Akyem Abuakwa. Some might argue that my perspective on those issues should count for that reason.

Corruption, inequality, and injustice plague our nation, eroding trust in institutions and stifling progress. The Corruption PandemicResearch reveals a disturbing trend: corruption is endemic in Ghana's public institutions, with the judiciary, police, and natural resource management sectors being particularly affected.
