We need legal backing to protect the profession and practice- Institute of Surveyors told government

The president of the Ghana Institution of Surveyors ( GhIS) , Surv. Dr. John Amaglo has called on government to help expedite the process that would lead to the passage of Surveying Council Bill into an act to regulate the surveying profession and practice in the country. According to him, the lack of the Surveying Council Act to regulate the space gives room for a lot of influx of companies and firms who are illegally in operation, a situation which is inimical and an affront to the noble profession and good practice since there’s no legal backing to regulate proper conduct.       “If you have the legal backing to protect practice and profession, then you will have the situation where all foreigners coming to the country would liaise with that Council just like we have the Engineering Council which is protecting the surveyors”. Surv. Dr. John Amaglo made the appeal while addressing journalists at the Annual Press Interaction of the Institution held in Accra on Monday February 21

  ·          The COVID-19 vaccine jabs are a sophisticated effort by the West to emasculate and recolonize Africa. ·          Madagascar has developed a concoction to cure COVID-19 ·          Dr Kwame Nkrumah had a shrine at the presidency which enabled him run his administration ·          The executive has tabled a motion before the parliament to pave the way for President Nana Akufo Addo to seek a third term. Honestly, what do these screaming headlines have in common? Certainly, few will think through these news items, some indifferent, a few more will completely disregard these claims bursting into laughter but be rest assured, a good number of the recipients of these news articles will deem them to be the gospel truth and worth sharing. Again, what do you make of such headlines? For us here present, I believe we all conclude these to be absolutely fake news, without any shred of doubt! Our world is rapidly advancing and so is the news that accompanies that progress.
