  • Egalitarian 11 years ago

    This case is of monumental improtance to the whole nation. We all always do the WRONG things during Elections. Both NPP and NDC members did what they knew was wrong. NPP are crying foul because NDC had outdone them.

    If NPP ...

  • OTDITSIBO 11 years ago

    MR. GAMEL. TV OR NO TV GHANAIANS ARE SUPER LAZY. LOOK AT THESE YOUNG PEOPLE RIDING IN BIG CARS. THEY ARE ALL THIEVES. PEOPLE DONT WANT TO WORK BUT WANT TO LIVE LUXURIOUS LIVES. WHEN PRES. KUFUOR SAID SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT ...

    I'm glad that finally someone is speaking about this. This has nothing to do with the fact that the Supreme Court proceddings are being televised. Rather,it is everything to do with lawlessness and lack of accountability. The ...

    Fire those who choose to watch TV instead of going to work. You work when you work and play when play. Spending all your time watching life telecast wont change the final verdict. The video footage will always be there for th ...

    This is why a televised session is ill-advised. The US system of radio broadcast is a better compromise!

    Sorry, correction.The name is 'william', not 'this'!.

  • Amegaxoxo 11 years ago

    Is it good governance to install TV sets in the workplace? .Who authorised this anyway? Are we serious as a Nation?

  • Kwaku 11 years ago

    Don't worry they are also interested party,they have to watch so that they will be sensitized against the outcome.You should not forget that some may be forced to go on the street if it doesn't go in their favour.The total ne ...

    THIS CASE IS INSIPATIONAL. ALREADY A LOT OF CHILDREN ARE SAYING THEY WANT TO BE " TONY LITHUR". IT IS EVEN SAID THAT A CHILD BURST OUT CRYING WHEN ANOTHER CHILD CALLED HIM "BAWUMIAH".

  • Bala 11 years ago

    Why is Akuffo Addo not in the court as the first penalty taker? Why expose Bawumia to all these humiliation?

    Bawumia, do you think NPP will ever endorse you as a Presidential candidate? We live to see. You are only good fo ...

    DOES ANY ONE HAVE A JOB? RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU HAVE A JOB. TELECAST ALL THE. Way. WE HAVE NOTHING TO DO SO WE WILL WATCH THE COURT CASE. All day. EVERYDAY.

  • Agyeman 11 years ago

    Real hard work involves mental exertion not just mere presence at your work station.

  • LORLORNYO 11 years ago

    WHAT GAMEH SAID IS VERY TRUE, AS FOR US GHANAIANS WE WANT TO SEE EVERYTHING AND WE WANT TO HAVE EVERYTHING TOO, HOW CAN ONE LEAVE HIS/HER WORK PLACE AND GO AND WATCH TV HOW?

    Dr Afari Djan should be blamed for this. If the election process had been transparent enough, there would have been no cause for these developments. But workers must be reasonable. They should not use much of their productive ...

    Too late to talk about this .Every labour expert knows that this will affect production. Why now? Ask Danquah Institute for their views.

    Baloney! Workers in Ghana do not know what productivity is. Leave them alone to wallow in their self-inflicted poverty.

  • Nii Akwei 11 years ago

    If you own XYZ Company, will you allow your employees to watch TV on the job? Your productivity will suffer. It is like paying some one for no work done. This culture of Woyome must stop.

  • sovor 11 years ago

    if nana has taken the country to war, will productivity not suffer the same?

  • KOFI 11 years ago

    WHAT ABOUT LIVE TELECAST OF SUBMISSION OF FORM TO THE ELECTORAL COMMISSION. THE SAME GHANAIAN SHOUTED ON ROOF TOPS FOR A LIVE TELECAST AND COMPLAINED AT THE SAME TIME. EI

  • Kobby 11 years ago

    I don't know who's idea was that we should telecast the court case live for every ghanaian to watch, don't you know that people will stop whatever they are doing to go and watch this. Oh Ghana we are drawing back.

  • Evans Mensah 11 years ago

    Why should employers allow their staff to be watching TV while at work. This is a matter for employers and not Austin Gameh. He is a fake labour consultant. BBC broadcast 24hours but no one will go to work in the UK and be wa ...

  • Adumuah 11 years ago

    I agree hundred percent with Gameh and will suggest the telecst should be a delayed one. GTV could show the program after 7 PM to save the country lose of revenue through production.

  • KOFI ASANTE 11 years ago

    Don't bother yourself. When did you see Ghanaian workers working? Even if some decide to work where is the electricity to power their computers? My friend, get some kokonte to eat and sleep like Mahama.

  • Cantankerous 11 years ago

    Sadly I have to agree with you.Too many Ghanaians do not know the meaning of the word WORK.

  • Cantankerous 11 years ago

    TV sets,radios and internet surfing re surely not allowed at the work place!!
    SOME IGNORANT INDIVIDUALS UNAWARE THAT THEIR ONLINE ACTIVITIES CAN BE TRACKED HAVE FOOLISHLY TRIED TO ACCESS ONLINE PORNOGRAPHY WHILE AT WORK.
