    Spot on! I agree with Prof 101%. Infact if we had done psychological due diligence on all presidential aspirants in the past, AKUFFO ADDO, the bedevilled master and executor of all that is evil and wicked, the mother serpent ...

    Friends and family mentality and then Airbus attitude. Prof should have asked for the mental capacity of voters to be assessed too. How can any party elect Airbus as leader?

    Professor Agyeman-Duah, are you indirectly suggesting we made a mistake by not examining Akufo Addo's mental health status before electing him? Hmmm

    Yes we make mistake. For the first time l think our elites has come out with a serious point. It very important to know more about the mental strength and abilities of our leaders. Very important point.

    I don't think this is possible despite the fact that there's a portion of the constitution which says a person with sound mind. The mind is not static that's why some couples go to the alter and swear before God and men that ...

    Good idea !
    And where their children are schooling must also be known and scrutinized.
    Additionally, where they go for their health delivery services with their entire family must also be found out.

    You're right, Prof.
    At least one of them is not of sound mind by all standards. A word to the wise........

    How foolish to have thought this guy and his like were neutral in their condemnation of Rawlings in the early 2000s that contributed to Kuffour winning the 2000 elections and immediately went quite after. He suddenly resurrec ...

    Prof you are right. Some leaders are really suffering from malfunctioning of the brain, public habitual sleepy-cosis, Lies-cosis, driver mate-cosis, just think of many as you can

    Well ! well! Well! , this is what I have been trying all these years to get across to the citizens. That every presidential candidate has to be properly examined by psychiatrists and psychologists. Their mental health cap ...

    I agree with you, and while we are at it, let's include prospective drivers too.

    There are a lot of mad people trying to get close to the presidency. . . or trying to get a driver's license.

    Good idea. Nana should've been tested that could have saved the country from this messed up economy.

    Prof please don't you also think that we have to also scrutinize the mental fitness of the voters too?If some people still want to vote for John Mahama then we have a problem on our hands.

  • Kofi Bediako 1 month ago

    The problem that Ghana faces lies with the citizens of Ghana. We the citizens don't specify the exact things that we need. For example, what road do we want? All weather roads? Quality like Tema Motorway? We need to have the ...

    A very good call especially Mahama. His campaign, promises and utterances exposes his mental fitness. He will criticise something he had promised earlier one and other hand claim recognition for something he has no idea of. ...
