By the way how dare her wanting to command all powers over everyone except her? By do lawyers think they are the most intelligent intellectuals in the world?

In a country like Ghana where most public officials are dishonest and are controlled by the government, if you take away the president’s power to terminate the appointment of the CJ, you allow future government like the previous one to keep judges who only work for a party and a government but not for the people. Do not follow the West without considering our own situation. What if we have seriously corrupt and compromised judges, there will be no way to change them? So Mahama wouldn’t be able to sack the corrupt judges. Think carefully before you change the constitution.

What is Mr. Kpebu talking about? Is the judiciary more powerful than the legislature? Didn't we all see how she abused her powers by undermining the Speaker's authority, just to please Akufo Addo?This bitch must go.

Well, for me, if we are looking for the independence of the Judiciary, we must NOT take away the right of the citizens to hire and fire. So, we must equally spell out how a CJ can be dismissed for stated misbehavior and misco ...

In the case of the Legislature and Executive, we give them limited 4 year term subject to rejection or renewal. Are we also going to give the CJ a fixed term?

We cannot have a situation where a CJ comes in to make himself/herself a TIN-GOD. Unanimous FC all the time.

The chief justice suld be selected by a lotto machine when all parties bring their nominees. Also all judges of the Supreme court. All the lower courts including the court of appeal should be scrapped. Straight to Supreme court for all cases. How annoying to toil and win a case at the high court only for some fucking bastards at the supreme court to overturn it

The executive branch was given too much power to control the government and protect JJ Rawlings from procecution for all the atrocities he committed. Now it is haunting Ghanaian because the governments of the 4th Republic are using it to abuse power and stealing from the people.
It is time to strip these powers and give power back to the electorate.
No MP should serve as a minister at the same time.
No MD of SOEs be appointment by president. They should be appointed on merit.
Ex gratia should only be earned when MP is no longer representing a contingency either through retirement or defeated in election.
President should not be immune to prosecution during and after service.
Decentralize police and fire services. Allow communities to hire and manage their own community fire and police services.

Scammer john Mahama, the gonja mafia has turned Ghana into cocaine coast.

These tribal bigots, gonja mafia John Mahama and Isaac Adongo called Nana Addo Akyem Mafia. So before you say hang on bla bla bla, do the reality chech first.

On top that, Scammer John Mahama, the gonja mafia led family and relatives govt has appointed a person sacked by the Ghana armed forces for gross misconduct as head of national security. Is his relative Jakpa doing the gonja mafia bidding?

As for gala, the gonja mafia and his relatives are the kingpins.

Like Mary said, toilet self is better than Scammer John Mahama aka Gonja mafia

Only Mahamas are getting juicy jobs. I thought the Okyere and Addos were not Ghanaians.

Why does Martin Kpebu speak from both corners of his mouth? This lawyer does not cease to amaze me with his positions on national issues. He seems to be on both sides of the fence at the same time and one cannot be for and against the same issue at the same time.
There should be equality among the three different arms of government with each arm exerting its power independently as he alluded to . But Kpebu witnessed the fracas between the legislature and the judiciary recently when the speaker of parliament made a decision in parliament that was overturned by the Chief Justice. Did Kpebu objected to that ruling if he believed the three arms of government are independent? Kpebu cannot have his cake and eat it at the same time.
It is time to revise our constitution and the president must not have that much power as it is presently enshrined in our constitution.

The justices must have a term limit in any amended constitution. The justices see themselves as Demi gods and they should have term limits or made to re-apply after serving a certain term limit which will give Ghanaians the chance to vote out any justices who does not deserve re-appointment.

Never trust such a character, one bit! Martin is struggling to hide his deep-seated hatred for John Mahama.
