History is littered with countless examples of sovereign states engaging professionals from different nations to man sensitive national positions.<\/p>\n
The rise of Joseph to the position of Prime Minister in pharaoh\u2019s Egypt is a classic example.<\/p>\n
Mark Carney, the Governor of the bank of England and the chairman of the Monetary Policy Committee of England is a Canadian.<\/p>\n
Our very own Dr. Edward Larbi Siaw, a Tax Policy Advisor to Ghana\u2019s finance ministry was head of Revenue Authority in Uganda and later Rwanda. Her Ladyship Mrs. Justice Mabel Maame Agyemang, a Ghanaian, was the first female Chief Justice of Gambia.<\/p>\n
Austin Neeabeohe Evans Amissah, the 9th Attorney General of Ghana was appointed a Judge in Botwana\u2019s court of appeal from 1981-2001. The professionalism with which these persons executed their works even in foreign lands speaks for itself. If we have the men and women for the job, why then would anybody think of hiring an expatriate for the job of special prosecutor?<\/p>\n
Believe it or not, the greatest danger\/threat to the very existence of this beautiful nation of ours is neither Galamsey nor illiteracy. It is neither poverty nor unemployment.<\/p>\n
But the single most potent threat to Ghana\u2019s fledgling democracy is the ever growing polarization along political and ethnic lines. The scourge of corruption sometimes even pales in comparison to ethno-politico polarization. So polarized is the nation along these lines that, just the mention of one\u2019s favorite food is more than enough information to tell ones ethnic group and political party.<\/p>\n
