For example, trainees of the Commonwealth Venue referred to as Vandals, as well as those of the Mensah Sarbah Venue, each of the College of Ghana, have actually possessed a long-lasting competition in order to which of the 2 halls is actually mightier on the Legon school, as well as might participate in lengthy hrs of singing ‘Jama' tracks without ceasing, all of as a technique of showing their strength as well as prevalence. Our team has actually identical competitions in the College of Peninsula Shoreline (UCC) in between the Atlantic as well as the Casely-Hayford halls as well as in the Kwame Nkrumah College of Scientific research as well as Innovation (KNUST) in between the College (Katanga) as well as the Unity (Conti) halls. Without a doubt, time past times, the competitions were actually healthy and balanced ones, as well as trainees of the opponent halls, appreciated one another as identical humans looking for much higher know-how, all for the innovation of Mommy Ghana.
It was actually also exciting for a trainee to become ‘ponded', which suggests being actually tossed into stagnant sprinkles through his peers, either as a result of an offense dedicated or even another thing. Regrettably, for many years, such healthy and balanced competition has actually degenerated into unpleasant, bloody as well as basic criminal damage that must certainly not be actually countenanced due to the authorizations. It is actually a reality that those trainees that top in such criminal damage at the additional degree coincide with ones that hold such mindsets to the tertiary degree. Recently, trainees of the Bawku, as well as the Bolga Specialized institutes, took place a rampage, vandalizing their university residential building, aside from an authorities automobile.
These activities have to certainly not be actually tolerated as well as our team is more than happy that the Higher Eastern Local Safety and safety Authorities administered final-year trainees of the institutions to keep in the house as well as visit the university substances to create their documents every day. The different actions of criminal damage taking place on our college campuses are actually unwanted, understanding that these campuses are actually citadels of know-how where folks are actually molded as well as formed to use up management placements whatsoever degrees. The Regular Visuals thinks that these shameful growths must be actually nipped in the bud prior to such trainees' finish to come to be risks to nationwide safety and safety.
On the final Saturday, an auto stationed at the Mensah Sarbah Venue of the College of Ghana has actually collected ablaze in the course of a clash between trainees of the venue as well as those of the Commonwealth Venue. Observe panels, squander compartments, Veronica containers, as well as some motor autos, were actually additionally ruined in the course of the clash as well as the bust of John Mensah Sarbah facing the venue was actually taken out. In 2020, some trainees affiliated with the Oguaa, as well as the Atlantic halls of the UCC, clashed, triggering damage to residential buildings coming from each hall, leading to 3 trainees, that were actually recorded on the scene, maintaining some injuries.
Identical tales are plentiful in the KNUST in between the College as well as the Unity halls, as well as in 2013 a lot of trainees went through differing levels of trauma after one such clash. The Regular Visuals thinks the amount of time has actually happened for the monitoring of the colleges to take peace of mind to their campuses to make sure that they don't wind up reproducing thugs as well as indisciplined grads that are going to wind up coming to be responsibilities to the community. Our team is actually awaiting the amount of time when such inter-hall competition is going to come to be healthy and balanced, advertise great neighborliness as well as produce good end results that are going to inure to the aggregate great of trainees, the college neighborhoods as well as the country through expansion.
Certainly, the college setting is going to come to be really mundane if the mere emphasis gets on scholarly efforts. For that reason, taking part in some exciting tasks assists in entertainment as well as bonding, however, when such tasks come to be devastating as well as transparent criminal damage, after that, they stop to become exciting. Nevertheless, it is actually stated that when a handshake journeys past one's arm joint, it discontinues becoming a handshake however a contact us to battle. Our team gets in touch with the monitoring of the different colleges, along with the sustain of the alumni organizations, in order to help take peace of mind to our campuses as well as collect great requirements for potential trainees. Our colleges can't pay for to type miscreants as well as indisciplined grads that are going to stop working for the country as well as posterity when the baton of management is actually turned over to all of them.
Let's sustain EC to attain its own directed
Because Ghana went back to autonomous regulation in 1993, certainly there certainly was a constant enhancement in its own electoral methods to make certain openness, justness, and also trustworthiness at the polls. Coming from the age of nontransparent ballot cartons, the country's electoral methods have actually been boosted to feature making use of clear cartons, biometric proof methods, making use of the photos of prospects and also their celebration icons on the ballot documents. Undoubtedly, all of these enhancements have actually added to Ghana being actually proclaimed to be one of the very best freedoms in Africa.
Nevertheless, these modifications have actually typically possessed arguments amongst essential stakeholders, especially, the political gatherings, public community organizations, and also the electoral administration physical body. The arguments have actually likewise occurred essentially as a result of the timing of the modifications and also uncertainties that the electoral administration's physical body was actually doing this to the benefit of necessary federal authorities.
It is actually, consequently, certainly not unexpected that because the Electoral Payment (EC) helped make its own intent unobstructed to utilize the Ghana Memory card as the simple resource of identification for its own constant elector enrollment, certainly there certainly was a ton of reaction certainly not simply coming from some political gatherings, public community organizations yet among its own past chairpersons, Dr. Kwadwo Afari Gyan, that thinks that the EC should step meticulously.
When the EC Chairperson, Jean Mensa, showed up just before Parliament's Board of the Entire final Tuesday, she reiterated the have to utilize the Ghana Memory card as the main id record for constant voters' enrollment to promise the trustworthiness and also honesty of the country's elector enroll and also assist political vote-castings all at once. Inning accordance with her, making use of the Ghana Memory card as detailed in its own brand-brand new Musical equipment (brand-brand new compose Community Political vote-castings (Enrollment of Electors) Guidelines, 2022) just before Parliament looks to advertise the constant enrollment of electors and also supports an all-year rounded enrollment of entitled electors at the area workplaces of the EC.
The problems of challengers of the Musical equipment need to perform with the ease of access of the Ghana Memory cards, the claimed particular prosperous enrollment in some areas while others are actually under-registered. To the Minority caucus, making use of the Ghana Memory card as the main id record is going to disenfranchise possible electors. It carries out seem at that point that the ease of access to the Ghana Memory card is actually a primary burden to this brand-brand new effort of the EC to improve the trustworthiness of the electoral roll.
Luckily, the Exec Secretary of the Nationwide Id Authorization (NIA), Lecturer Ken Attafuah, and also the Priest of Financial, Ken Ofori-Atta remained in the Home to provide guarantees of signing up Ghanaians and also creating the memory cards offered to all the certified individuals qualified to become enrolled. The guarantees were actually due to the concession due to the NIA of its own indebtedness to the specialist leading to some memory cards being actually secured at a bound storehouse.
Yet our problem pertains to those whose memory cards have actually been actually published -- 642,403 across the country -- yet have actually certainly not gone for all of them coming from the NIA workplaces. Whereas it could be quick and easy to condemn those individuals however to gather their memory cards, it is actually crucial for the NIA to assess its own methods to create it quick and easy for folks to grab their memory cards. Our team knows some Ghanaians in Accra that have actually needed to explore approximately 3 settings to gather their memory cards without effectiveness up till they counted on the head office of the NIA for support.
Our team believes that if the NIA places the straight methods in location, featuring a monitoring unit for recipients to effortlessly map where their memory cards are actually, it is going to motivate lots of Ghanaians to enroll and also gather their memory cards. The Everyday Visuals appears ahead to a period where the EC is going to present a digital electing unit that is going to also create electing, collation, and also the statement of political vote-casting outcomes more clearly and also quicker to boost the honesty of our electoral unit. Our team, consequently, gets in touch with all of the stakeholders to jaw-jaw to discover a happy medium to calm the nerves and also pressure linked with every political vote-casting our team has actually possessed because 1992.
Our team believes that the arguments over making use of the Ghana Memory card as the main resource of id may be dealt with if the NIA has the capacity to provide the complete fulfillment of all of the stakeholders, especially the political gatherings and also those found to enroll or even however to gather their memory cards. Our team may simply boost our electoral administration unit and also certainly not return to the very early times. Allow all of us to sustain the EC to attain its own plan as it is going to improve the photo of the nation.
