Tafo MP attack: Delta force members granted bail

A High Court in Kumasi has granted bail to three members of the Delta Force after they were arrested for invading a meeting organised by the Tafo Pankrono Member of Parliament.
The vigilante group, affiliated to the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) stormed a meeting ground in October to register their displeasure with their MP, Dr Anthony Akoto Osei, for what they refer to as failed promises.
The leader of Delta Force in the Tafo Pankrono Constituency, Jafar Saeed, also known as ‘O.D.4’, told Luv FM’s Kwasi Debrah the MP has failed to honour a promise made to them prior to the 2016 general elections.
“He met us and told us when we work hard for the party [NPP] to win the election, he will make sure we also enjoy and live comfortably,” Saeed said in the Akan dialect.
some of the rioters were picked up by the police and arraigned before court.
One other accused person, Yaw Brefo, has been discharged for lack of evidence.
The other three have been charged with conspiracy to cause unlawful damage, causing unlawful damage and rioting.
The court presided over by Justice Lydia Osei Marfo, ruled that the accused must comply with the bail conditions which include GHS20,000 each, with one surety who should be residents in Kumasi.
They have also been asked to submit themselves to the police station every Monday.

Why Ghanaians Are So Slow To Bury Their Dead - BBC

In our series of letters from African journalists, writer Elizabeth Ohene considers why bodies are not buried for months, sometimes years, in Ghana. This past week there was another one of those typically Ghanaian funeral stories in the news. The body of a chief who had died six years ago was still in the morgue as the family bickered over who should be designated as the "chief mourner". I was, as is usual with me, outraged. But the story did not attract much attention because we regularly leave dead bodies in the morgue for long periods to sort out the disputes that erupt after every death in this country. Our elaborate, expensive funerals and over-the-top dramatically carved caskets are well documented. In spite of the keen interest I have taken in trying to work out how funerals came to have such a hold on our society, there are some things that I still cannot understand after all these years.
