Governance expert Dr. Eric Oduro Osae says Ghana’s inability to ensure that there is strict security at its border posts makes room for criminals to easily get into the country.

The Aka tribesmen in the Central African Republic often look after their young children while the mothers are out hunting. They soothe, clean and play with their babies, and spend more time holding them than fathers in any other society. Their devotion has earned them the title of “the world’s best dads” from online commentators – which is somewhat ironic given that the Aka are strictly egalitarian and shun rankings. Still, it shows just how dramatically the wider view of being a “good father” has changed over time. Today, many dads are celebrated for being sensitive, caring and hands-on. A…

The Executive Secretary of the Micro-credit Association of Ghana, Ebenezer Quartey, has cautioned the outstanding 31 Micro-credit companies to comply with the laws regulating their operations in the country.
