Going Public, Anonymously
|
|
Avid newspaper readers may have noticed and puzzled
over why so many sources remain undisclosed, so many
experts go unnamed, and why more than a few writers
dwell in mystery. It would seem that the shroud of
anonymity holds great appeal.Read More |

Good-looking Notary Offices Fail to Serve Public |
|
The Authentication and Registration of Documents
Office, which was detached from the deceased Region
14 Public Prosecutors’ Office and emerged as an
independent body with no statutory basis for its
existence, obtained its first establishment
regulation by the Addis Abeba City Council in 2000. Read More |

Usury Laws May Apply to Guaranteed Investment Returns
|
|
Seasoned lawyers often advise that, “before trying
to lend someone money or ‘investing’ with a
guaranteed return, see your attorney to make sure
that you do not run foul of the usury laws.” This is
because the temptation to get better returns on an
investment may induce innocent parties through
unwarranted advertisements or other means to violate
laws. Such violations may sometimes not be foreseen
or intended. Read More |

Advertised Offers Not Binding
|
|
The responses to views that were expressed on the
Access Real Estate advertisements from both Tsehai
Alemayehu and Shume Alemu, appearing in this
newspaper over the past two weeks, are flawed.Read More |

Access
Accountable for its Claims in Advertisement |
|
The arguments go back and forth as the debate of
Access’s guarantees are met with hope, scepticism,
and anticipation. Tsehai Alemu (PhD), a professor of
Economics, wonders whether the pessimist opinions,
of those who have made their reservations public,
stem from the failure of other firms to deliver. Read More |

|
The ongoing discussion between Yahannes Woldegebriel
and Liku Damtew regarding the consequences, under

Access’s Interest Promise Not Limited by Lending Laws |
|
Yohannes Woldegebriel's views headlined, “Real Estate Developer's Bogus
Promise on Interest" (Volume 11, Number 535, August
1, 2010), are misleading, for it is basically
business law and practices confused in the mind of a
criminal lawyer.
All Access Real Estate did was publish an advertisement. An advert of
any kind does not bind anyone. Of course, there are
reputations attached to them, but who bets his money
on the reputation other than the attention seeker
herself - the advert placer.

Taking
Break from Politics for Awhile |
|
|
The postelection period in Ethiopia can best be
summed up by a collective sense of relief that it is
all over and has passed without any fracas. Aside
from a hysterical group among the victorious party
and its loyalists and the ho-hum, reluctant, and
unusually subdued complaint from the predictable
opposition, most Ethiopians are going about their
daily business as if no seismic shift in politics
has taken place. Read
