1. This is the front page of the Daily Graphic. A govt- sponsored newspaper that has for some strange reasons decided to gloss over major positive govt activities but instead focus on negative happenings. 2. As we speak, the Prez is in Europe seeking investments from the British and Belarusians for the Nation. A major news item 3. As we speak, the Vice Prez has toured some flood prone areas in Accra and visited Alajo in the company of the Interior Minister, GAR Minister, Accra Mayor etc. A major news item 4. As we speak, Govt has successfully evacuated nearly 1000 Ghanaians stranded in South Africa due to xenophobic attacks. A major news item 5. Yet, the Editor of the Daily Graphic has once again, deliberately decided to highlight on its front page, a strike action by KATH doctors because the CEO has been suspended by the KATH Board for some alleged admin misjudgments pending investigations. Nobody is above the law. We are all subject to discipline of the law. 6. So for Daily Graphic to highlight what’s really a disciplinary issue render major govt policy moves as footnotes on its front page is journalistically most undesirable. I leave it here…….

This is the unimpeachable evidence that the original Anti-LGBTQ+ law was prevented from being presented to the President by his Executive Secretary, Nana Bediatuo Asante. Fact!!!!

Tit Bits on path to Accreditation within the Legal Education Act, Act 1170, 2026 ——————————————- Accreditation simply means the regulator is satisfied that: “the institution has the people, systems, facilities, requisite curriculum, governance, and quality controls necessary to responsibly train students to acceptable national standards.” For legal education or law training institutions specifically as enshrined in sections 22-35 of Act 1170, accreditation generally requires the following: 1. Proper Academic and Administrative Structure The institution must submit: • its administrative structure, • curriculum, • teaching methodology, • and evidence of compliance with prescribed standards. The law programme must also have: • a qualified Dean, • administrator, • accounts officer, • qualified academic staff, • and support staff. 2. Qualified Faculty The Accreditation body will examine: • lecturer qualifications, • academic experience, • staff-to-student ratios, • teaching capacity, • and whether the faculty can deliver the curriculum effectively. The Act specifically requires “law lecturers with requisite qualifications.” 3. Adequate Infrastructure The institution must demonstrate it has: • classrooms, • offices, • libraries, • ICT systems, • internet access, • research materials, • and adequate learning facilities. For law schools, the Act requires: • access to legal reports, • statutes, • published academic law journals, • legal databases, • and a functioning electronic law library. 4. Approved Curriculum The curriculum must align with national standards and professional expectations as approved by the Council set up under section 1 of Act 1170. The Act in Sec 49 requires: • theoretical and practical legal training, • ethics, • advocacy, • legal writing, • research, • ADR, legal drafting, • and clinical legal education. 5. Financial and Operational Capacity The institution must prove it can sustainably run the programme: • budget systems, • financial management, • administrative continuity, • and operational stability are examined. 6. Compliance Inspection Before accreditation is granted, an Accreditation Committee of the Council would: • reviews documents, • conduct on-site inspections, • evaluates facilities (see sec 35) • and prepares a report for the Council. 7. Ethical and Regulatory Compliance The institution must comply with: • national education laws eg GTEC Act and Education Regulatory Bodies Act • admission standards, • anti-discrimination rules, • disability access measures, • grading systems, • and academic integrity standards. 8. Provisional vs Full Accreditation Usually, institutions first receive provisional accreditation if they substantially comply and show a plan to fully meet standards.
