The Daily Heritage discusses the ultimatum by FIFA to government to withdraw the court case seeking to liquidate the GFA. Failure to withdraw the case, according to the paper, will have implications on all the national teams and local players. On the other hand if the case is withdrawn, some corrupt officials in football administration will be emboldened to steal with impunity. The Daily Heritage therefore thinks Government and FIFA should meet to find a middle ground and agree on a roadmap to uproot corruption in football administration in Ghana.
The editorial of both the Ghanaian Times and Daily Graphic is on the disregard for law and order. The forceful removal from office of the Chief Executive of the Tamale Teaching Hospital is the focus of the Ghanaian Times. The paper is worried about such disturbances which compromise the effective and efficient functioning of the Hospital. The paper however says allegations made by the group against the Chief Executive should be investigated. What is of concern to the Times is the inappropriate manner in which the Chief Executive was removed from his office without recourse to any rules or regulations. It urges the authorities to take a second look at the mode of recruitment of Chief Executives for the Hospital and also for the government Board to stamp its authority to restore normalcy to the facility.
The Daily Graphic adds its voice to the campaign by the IGP and the DVLA to stop the unlawful use of sirens and horns by vehicle to gain advantage in traffic. The paper is amazed at the wanton public disregard for traffic regulations by motorists and asks if the police have been emboldened enough to arrest the so-called big men who perpetrate the act without interference from higher bodies. It says it is this disregard for rules and regulations that has led to numerous avoidable accidents which result in injuries, loss of lives and property.
The Graphic is happy about the involvement of the DVLA, which will ensure that unauthorized sirens are removed before vehicles are issued with road worthiness certificates.
