Any Lesson Learnt From Presidential Press Corps' Accident?

Vehicular accident can occur due to mechanical fault or reckless driving. Whereas the latter is highly avoidable, the former is mostly unforeseen!
Samuel Nuamah, a member of the Presidential Press Corps and a reporter with 'The Ghanaian Times' lost his life when the vehicle on board which they were travelling was involved in a fatal accident causing serious injuries to his other colleagues.
 
According to media reports, the bus they were traveling aboard was a hired one. As has become the norm in Ghana, people are calling for investigations into the cause of the accident.  
The call for investigations into the cause of the accident is a good one in that, it is going to ascertain those who were involved in choosing that particular vehicle; the factors that were considered in choosing the said vehicle which probably would span the rate (cost), road-worthiness - mechanical issues like the tyres; and the experience of the driver amongst others. The investigation probably would establish whether or not the said vehicle was supposed to be part of the Presidential convoy on their return. I do not hope to see any significant action taken against those who may have been found to have not done enough due diligence for I know this doesn't happen in Ghana!
Having said that, I am not very conversant with the means of transportation that other PPCs use around the world. But having seen Prez. Obama visited Ghana, I am not sure those vehicles they used during the visit were hired. I may be wrong though. But I think, just as those working at the Presidency are using very good vehicles, whether acquired by the state or privately owned, the state must provide the PPC with a much more safer vehicle for undertaking such important assignments.
The state must shoulder this responsibility of providing a safe vehicle for PPC. And equally important, they must always be part of the Presidential convoy. Even if there are no known best practices around the world in this regard, it won't be out of place to start one. We shouldn't be only interested in copying from others.
I hope lessons have been learnt by those at the helm of affairs. We don't want to lose another journalist.

He Didn't Die Like a Soldier

He walked on the battlefield Bullets flying all around him Yet none flew close to his fur Because he was not a target He was safe even among reverberating grenades and tanks He did not swear to protect himself But his people...his own people at his own peril Yet he had to die at the hands of this blood-sucking barbarians Who mistook him for animal And pelted him with rocks His bones crunched as he pleaded for mercy His innocent blood was shed His frozen tears formed a confluence of blood Flowing freely like a fountain Mistake him not for a coward For pulling the trigger could have saved him From these wolves Who were only after sniffing his life out of him. He must die one day But not this way Not to be killed like a common criminal. He died in his prime serving his country, Serving his countrymen, Serving people who did not see his use - people who did not believe in him. He coul

Regulate Private Schools

Establishment of private schools is on the increase especially in the area of basic school. Some of these schools are not running the GES curriculum but UK and US.  It is one business venture a lot of people are venturing into as it is easy to make money. The growth in this sector may be good for our education system as it affords parents alternatives to choose from. However, it appears they are not being regulated effectively enough. They have been left entirely in the hands of their owners. Some are operating without license.   When the president, in his first state of the of the nation’s address, indicated that Free SHS policy would start in September for the 2017/18 academic year, private schools are calling for inclusion in the intended policy. In as much as I think they should be granted some incentives in the policy, they must not forget that are into business. Their activities are not supervises effectively so they do everything and get away with it. The private scho
