The writer: Her Ladyship Justice Sedinam Awo Kwadam (Mrs.)   An Incomplete Pursuit of Certainty and the Dislocation of Criminal Liability from Moral Fault Let us begin with a premise so fundamental that it anchors both law and reason: if the State’s objective is to ensure that no parent leaves a healthcare facility with a child who is not biologically theirs, then that objective must be pursued with consistent logic, as a parentage test, a test of both parents. The proposed bill, however, directs its scrutiny exclusively toward paternity. It does not extend the same verification to maternity, despite the…

  A rare exemption was granted to the Greater Accra Regional Minister, Linda Ocloo, when she took her turn at the quizzing session of the Public Accounts Committee. Information has it that the decision was not objected to by the Minority in Parliament, and the reason had to do with a so-called expression deficiency in the working language of the House. That was an interesting precedent. In future, when a Presidential nominee for a top public office feigns such an excuse, there is a ready precedent to fall on. The Greater Accra Regional Minister, besides English language deficiency, lacks unfortunately…

Kwame Governs Agbodza, characterized by unannounced site visits and a blunt ultimatum, finish or be fired, represents more than just a bureaucratic tweak; it is a long-overdue restoration of the sanctity of the contract.…
