ACTUARIES IN GHANA
Rapid increases in natural disasters particularly hurricanes, floods and earthquakes in China, Japan, United States and in Ghana calls for special attention of governments and policy makers. Management of such chaotic uncertainties is possible. Is Ghana prepared to face and manage such chaotic uncertainties? Do we have the expertise to help manage future risks such as the tsunamis of Asia, Katrina of the US, Sichuan earthquake in recent China, the 2007 Floods of Northern region of Ghana and the June 2008 earthquake of McCarthy Hills? How much did it costs to bring relief to the flood victims in 2007 and what was the value of the farm products and properties destroyed? What was the impact of the flood on our economy? The solution is the CASUALTY ACTUARY.

As Africans, we need to move away from temporal measures to the management of disasters and find permanent solutions to problems. While these risks are unavoidable and unpredictable to some extent, it can be managed by the services of Casualty Actuaries. These are experts who put price tags on risks. They analayse the past, model the future, assess the risks involved and communicate the results in financial terms to decision makers. As Ghana is developing and the country investing in human capital, I believe government and parliament in forecasting the future, should consider employing the services of Casualty Actuaries to team up with NADMO, the Geological services and the Metrological Services Department to help save loss incurred in managing disasters in Ghana. Actuaries will recommend to government as to plan and design of building in cities, which will have helped us in the case of siteing of buildings in McCarthy Hills and on Aburi mountains. Though the earthquake machine (seismographs) is importantas must receive attention, Casualty Actuaries are also necessary for development, having historic successes in Florida(US), UK, Philippines and Japan.

Whilst Ghana has few recently practicing Actuaries the world's fewer percentage, their services are under utilized thereby resulting in their exodus to US, UK, South Africa and neigbouring Nigeria. We have the expertise and can reduce future risks by the services of Casualty Actuaries.

I wish to recommend that government, parliament and other policy makers should rally to pass a law to establish a Government Actuaries Department in Ghana .This will yield the country higher returns because we will save funds which will have been intended to give relief to the disaster victims. &quot;Attitude is everything really&quot;.-unknown (talk) 23:04, 24 June 2008 (UTC)Emmanuel Osafroadu Amankwah

PEACE IN BAWKU
Today in Bawku, a boy child will be born.His mother will hold him and breastfeed him,comfort him and care  for him just as any male child anywhere in Ghana. In these most basic acts of human nature,humainty knows no divisions. But to be born a boy/girl child in today's Bawku is to begin life's centuries away from peace that every country needs.It is to live under distressed conditions of conflict and 'self created imprisonment'-(curfew), which might threaten a child's life for lack of medical care since mother/child is housed.This  boy  did not see his father since he passed away as one of the victims of the conflict and his mother lost much blood and is aneamic.The happy family next door lost both parents leaving the children "orphans".Is the child also going to be numbers amongst Orphans resulting from this conflict? It is my appeal to parties involved:Chiefs, opinion leaders, religious leaders and Ghana's future leaders-the youth to live above ethnic conflicts and join the government to speed up the developmental projects in the community. Common fund and tax payers money for infrastructural development such as roads,Hospitals,schools is  now been diverted into air lifting security personnel to salvage the situation. Investors and professionals for fear of loosing their lives are leaving the community. This is a wake-up call.I wish to appeal that though this conflict is a precolonial issue, the colonial masters could not solve it but as Ghanaians lets aviod the blame game and see it as a Ghanaian conflict not a Bawku conflict and we will be able to solve it. I wish to appeal with the media to be very neutral so that publications(especially headlines) might not aggitate violence. I also wish to admonish the youth to see aggitators and financiers of violence as enemies of peace to save Bawku.Tihis will increase economic and social crises. The inspiration for genuine and viable peace must spring from within the peoples that are in conflict especially from leaders. PEACE IS WHAT WE NEED IN BAWKU,LONG LIVE GHANA.
