Security recruitment: Gov’t faces lawsuit for disqualifying youth based on height, stretch marks

Convenors of #FixTheCountry movement have served notice that they will sue the Government for disqualifying young people seeking employment into the security services on the basis of height, stretch Marks, tattoos and several other qualification benchmarks.

Over the past several days, thousands of young people seeking to serve the country in the various security agencies have been turned for not meeting some criterion such as being short or having tattoos among others.

Lead Convenor of the movement Mawuse Oliver Barker-Vormawor had criticized the height requirement, saying that it was ironic that the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, the President, is short yet short people cannot serve in the security services.

Now though the movement is calling on all young people disqualified on such frivolous grounds to inform the movement so that a class action can be filed on their behalf.

“If you or anybody you know was disqualified for whatever reason during the recent security sector recruitments, kindly send an email to legal@ghfixthecountry.org

We want to sue the Government on your behalf. You are not alone. We want to build a class-action lawsuit against the State. Please share this widely. We need as many plaintiffs as possible.

Not every injustice should be just talk!” Barker-Vormawor announced.

The move has been welcomed by many who had seen the criteria as untenable.

Most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by their Pastors – Papa Shee

Evangelist Papa Shee says most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by Pastors. According to him, most Pastors in Ghana currently are occults and with the way they are been celebrated by their followers, they initiate them into occult groups without their knowledge. He mentioned that Ghanaians lack knowledge and that has always been the reason why Pastors take advantage of them.

Residents of Samreboi cry on gov’t to fix their roads

Residents of Samreboi are up in arms with the Government of Ghana over neglect of their roads. According to residents, It has become very worrying as their bad road network is affecting not only economic activities but also their social activities. Residents of the timber and Cocoa producing town in the Western Region of Ghana say they have been unfairly treated by several governments; the neglect they say they do not know what to attribute it to. A worrying feature of their roads they say is the fact that moving from Samreboi to neighbouring villages and towns become impossible especially during the rainy season hence bringing economic activities to a standstill.
