The word \u2018thorough\u2019 was agreed by both parties to be substituted with \u2018forensic\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>At a meeting at the AG\u2019s board room on Wednesday, November 1, the solicitor general who holds brief for the minister told the parties about the report and its findings, recommendations and approved it for its implementation.<\/p>\n<p>GHAMRO was represented at the meeting by Rex Omar, Diana Hopeson, Ahmed Banda (Bandex) Kwesi Ernest, Abraham Adjetey and Jonathan Cudjoe.<\/p>\n<p>UNICOM was also represented by Randy Nunoo, George William Dickson, Sloopy Mike Gyamfi, Akosua Adjepong and John Mensah Sarpong.<\/p>\n<p>Others presents at the meeting were K.K. Kabobo, Amandzeba Nat Brew, Kwasi Adjapong (PAPCAD), all from the Carlos Sakyi-led administration, and the acting copyright administrator, Madam Yaa Attafuah.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 24 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Monday, 6 November 2017 Source: Dailyguideafrica.com 2017-11-06 Rex Omar, GHAMRO board member &#13;
