LAW AND PUBLIC LEGAL EDUCATION - GHANA

I received this Story through Email from a dear friend of mine. It has touched me so much I think I must share this story with the world. The Story Reads as follows: One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class was walking home from school. His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, 'Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd.' I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friends tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on. As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him.. He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes My heart went out to him. So, I jogged over to him as he crawled around looking ...

It is very commendable, the Presidents’ swift response to the video revelations of the conspiracy against the state allegedly taking place at the Nations Harbor, Tema. It was the first time I could feel anger in the voice of the president as he spoke to the long faces of the Port officials. For the sake of caution, let me state it this way, that if the video footage of Arim Yaw Annas is really true then Ghana is doomed. Whiles commending the President, I would like to encourage him to take very drastic action against all who have been found taking bribe or engaged in other illegal actions at the port. I also want to urge him to put fear and sentimental complains from all quarters aside and remove all the top officials of the Ports and Harbors Authority. Finally I agree to the assert declaration policy being suggested by the president, but I also want to add that beyond that, all Ports and Harbors Authorities Employees should be made to undergo special registration with an approv...

Farmers have for a very long time dominated in percentage wise, the total working force of Ghana for a very long time. Not Until recently, Farmers were always estimated to constitute about sixty percent of the total Labour force of Ghana. The long standing domination of the countries labour force by farmers indicates how important farming is to Ghana and Ghanaians. A brief enumeration of the importance of farming will even look like an attempt to overemphasise the importance of farming. This is because the benefits of Agriculture to us as a people are uncountable. These importances have thus informed a culture of encouragement and reward scheme for farmers which is to award deserving farmers in an attempt to boost morale and encourage farming in the country. Thus, the National Farmers Day. To me this is a very brilliant accomplishment for a government to practice. It is thus the expectation of all Ghanaians’ that Today as we enjoy our holiday in solidarity with ou...

“If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, then it cannot save the few who are rich.” - John F. Kennedy In recent times, the idea of free society has become an eminent matter for discussion on several platforms. Politicians, religious leaders, social commentators and free thinkers dexterously discuss this matter with passion and seriousness. Along the length and breath of Africa and Ghana specifically, freedom of speech, the right to; life, religion, education and other forms of citizenry rights are touted daily by our leaders as virtues they are either aspiring to or as their achievements. As to whether these rights are fully enjoyed by the citizens or not, are matters for investigation and discussion. Foundation for Societal Security (FSS) seeks to advocate for realistic implementation of policies, programmes and projects that will secure the future of our young democratic states in Africa. This motive is informed by the need to establish strong foundation...
