Banning teachers from monitoring elections were all in the name of rigging the elections. its true, infact NDC flourishes in chaos. Very unfortunate to see very noble men ascribing to the evil dictates of NDC. Rest In Peace.

I remember when Ghana discovered oil in commercial quantities, Lee Ocran said, it was "Adwengo", hmmm let us all speak the truth in Ghana. Our national Anthem and the pledge must guide us all. Anyway, may his soul rest in peace!
There is nothing in this world for us ooooooooooo. Let's seek for Christ and His kingdom. Few years ago this man had power to ban teachers from monitoring elections.
