Funny to hear Rawlings condemning it also. Didn't he get or at least was offered 16 cars when he left office?<BR/>I'm interested in finding out whether anybody has a link to good info. on Christian religious practices in Ghana, giving some analysis or background info into the hundreds of protestant sects that exist, their foundations, criticisms surrounding them, etc. For example, Redemption Faith Ministries, Assemblies of God, etc. I suspect there is a lot of ex-pat influence and they appear at the surface to be more poverty churches than anything else. But I'm open to being convinced otherwise. Nice blog Holli, if you are in Kumasi let me know if you want to visit our project.

Our president, Mwai Kibaki, makes more a year than US President Barack Obama! Parliament voted some time ago to raise Kibaki's salary--a raise he reportedly didn't want. But the raise took effect anyway, and he didn't send it back. Now, the prime minister, Raila Odinga, wants equal pay, claiming he and the president are "equal partners" in the coalition government nudged into shape with the help of your compatriot Kofi Annan following post-election violence in 2008. <BR/><BR/>A leaders is a reflection of his people? I hope not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
