The Chief Executive Officer of the Gamey and Gamey Group, Mr Austin A. Gamey, has called for the use of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) to resolve electoral disputes in the country.
The Chief Executive Officer of the Gamey and Gamey Group, Mr Austin A. Gamey, has called for the use of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) to resolve electoral disputes in the country.
According to him, the 2012 and the 2020 presidential election petitions vindicated his position that it was possible to resolve electoral disputes using ADR as a tool for peace-building in the country.
Mr. Gamey made the call at the graduation ceremony for students of the Gamey and Gamey ADR Institute at Community 26, near Kpone in the Greater Accra Region last Saturday.
A total of 29 professionals from diverse fields, ranging from human resource practitioners, bankers, members of the clergy, the Judiciary and the media, engineers, governance experts and consultants, graduated from the institute after completing an eight-month Professional Executive Master of Appropriate Dispute Resolution (PEM ADR) programme.

Today is Day 7 of my personal lockdown in London. I never tire of explaining that this should be Day 8; I feel cheated because although I arrived here in the morning of last Thursday, that first day did not count. Officially, it counted as Day Zero. I don’t know why. At this point, it may look like crying over spilt milk but there is nothing like a good moan, especially in England, where complaining is an art form.
One thing this strict quarantine does to you is distort time, particularly the days of the week. When you spend your time in the same place, time also takes on a quality of sameness, especially when you go through the same activities in the same place. I nearly missed the deadline for submitting my Mirror column to the editors because of the difficulty of distinguishing one day from the other.
