General News of Wednesday, 26 April 2023Source: www.ghanaweb.comHis Lordship Yonny Kulendi of the Supreme Court of Ghana has bemoaned the challenge of circumventing rules in the country. In a recent speech, the Supreme Court judge highlighted that the only time Ghanaians follow rules is when they are forced to do so by "colonial masters," arguing that the country's progress is being hindered by its citizens. He cited the ingenuity of Ghanaians to be ahead of every conceivable rule, meaning that rules are constantly being circumvented in the country. “I call it the Ghanaian problem, and we all like simple straightforward solutions…our problem does not admit a simple straightforward solution. So, rules are chasing how clever people are…so, we make the rules, and then we turn around to engineer ways to circumvent our own rules,” he said.
