Prior to independence Ghana was the British Gold Coast colony. Before then it had been divided among a number of states, by far the largest of which was the Ashanti Confederacy, whose leaders was known as the Asantehene.
With regard to Ghana I also noted that this is the year in which the Catholic Church celebrates the centenary of her implantation in this part of the great African continent.
Yes, Mr President, Ghana is a beautiful country, rich in cultural traditions and in the potential of its people, endowed also with natural resources, especially in the agricultural domain.
Since justice demands that nobody should go hungry or lack the opportunity to achieve his or her full potential, both spiritually and materially, then society should also regard agricultural labour as ennobling, and the status and dignity of the rural population should be constantly improved.
The Court ruled that in Ghana where everybody is related to everybody else it would be inappropriate to disqualify a judge from sitting on a case merely because he is a distant relative of a party.
That is why the President of the Ghana Union Traders Association is a trader, the President of Ghana National Association of Teachers is a teacher, the President of the Ghana Journalists Association is a Journalist and yet still the President of the Sports Writers Association of Ghana is a Sports Journalist.
The President of the Tailors and Dressmakers Association is a Tailor/Seamstress, and the President of the Ghana Bar Association is a Lawyer.
