I am getting angry about all such stupid demands. Since my adult life, I have not seen a fallen soldier (Who was not in uniform but just jogging) given such a dignified burial and funeral. He is from Bole and Tumu. Why not name those two towns after him? As a soldier, he knew he could die anyhow. Enough is enough. Mahama's family should show appreciation to the government for all it has done for the fallen soldier and his family. AHBA

Why Tema roundabout. This soldier is not even known in Tema, neither has he done anything spectacular for Tema nor its residents. Does the family want every monument in Ghana be named after their dead son?

Ghfuo, you were lucky. The thing is unless and until we make our laws enforceable by the police and the law courts, nothing will change and people will keep on flouting the laws of our land.

LATE MAJ AND GHANAIAN HYPOCRICY
Because this military officer is related to ex-prez Mahama, the NDC communicators are just over-hyping issues surrounding this slain galamsey soldier. Generally, Ghanaians are hypocrites that is why Ghana is backward in the midst of plenty. Look at how nursing mothers have been detained with their babies in connection with this unfortunate murder and it appears human rights lawyers in Ghana have all gone to sleep.I am not the least surprised because if the Minister of Children and Gender Affairs has gone to weep profusely at the funeral of Late Maj Mahama because the deceased is a relative, do you think she will see the need to protect these kids who are being punished for crimes they have not committed.

This is nonsense. Is he the only person to suffer a tragic death. This now being taken too far. A lot of Ghanains have died in line of duty. He was part of his demise. He should rest in peace.

Yes, something lasting must be done to honour the memory of this martyred soldier. He could have chosen to waste several lives if his assailants yet he chose to die alone. This is one of the ways heroes throughout history are made. Naming a roundabout after is not asking too much. I think an anti lynching law must be put in place and named after him as well, to wit, Max Mahama Law.
