A former Second Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Professor Mike Ocquaye has stated that Ghanaians by their nature �have such disrespect for law and order�. In his view, until Ghanaians begin to appreciate the essence of laws and order in an organised society, morals and individual conducts will continue to deteriorate. �We have such disrespect for law and order.� � And I believe that unless we really tighten laws in this country, life will be terrible for us, because even our neighbours obey laws,� the former legislator told the media at the second memorial lecture of the late Vice President , Aliu Mahama in Accra , Tuesday. Ocquaye added : �Society is law and I think that from our basic laws, rules and regulations, from the district levels , the local and national laws are not working properly, like when I came into this country in in early 70s as a lawyer; all those laws that permeated our societies must come back" �And I think they must come back because human beings are such that unless the law bites, there will be disorder,� he stated.
