The current posting rebuts the comment made by a Ghanaian lawyer (Godwin Adjei-Gyamfi) claiming that the Gitmo pair would have legal grounds to sue the Government of Ghana, should the nation try to expel them. The comment was posted on Wednesday at the news section of Ghanaweb.
Corruption in Ghana has sadly manifested itself in the production of very incompetent professionals in various fields. An institutionalized but unlawful and very corrupt practice put in place by the ruling NDC thugs consists of reserving quotas for admission into the state universities for their unqualified relatives and cronies. This is a criminal act which the NDC thugs dub “executive quota”. The products of this unlawful act are poorly trained and incompetent professionals who enter professional practice only to exhibit serious deficiencies in the very tenets of their professions.
A typical example is this shameful lawyer who puts the security of his own nation second to the comfort of foreign terrorists. I want to remind this ignorant lawyer that national security tramps all other concerns.
The globe is replete with examples in which nations have denied entry permits to questionable persons on national security grounds. For this ignorant lawyer, I wish to cite a clear cut paradigm of this entry restriction in the form of a stance by US President Barack Obama on an identical issue. About three years ago, Brazilian tourists who wanted to visit the US faced rejection of tourist visa applications to a very large degree. Opponents of the US visa policy argued that it was creating loss of tourist dollars in the US economy. In his response in support of the policy, this is what President Obama said and I quote: “WE ALSO HAVE TO CONSIDER OUR SECURITY”. Thus national security takes priority over all other matters.
