It is not easy for the general public to know which politician can really deliver. It is very important for those seeking power to tell the people of Ghana their achievements, which are verifiable, not necessarily in politics but also in their former places of work. These peoples' CV should be made public instead of allowing them to continue on the propaganda path. Propaganda messages are meaningless.
To me the leaders we are choosing only take up power to use the tax payers' money to provide physical infrastructure which is relatively easy to do.
The State of Nation addresses should take the form of Financial Statement of the country from each year to another. The presentation appears to be a budget statement which is provides the intentions of government ie what government intends to do. The State of the Nation address should inform Ghanaians about assets have been acquired over the period with what resources.
The educated in the society should begin to act because many of our people are illiterates.

There should be a moratorium on all new oil explorations, until a better mechanism is in place for Ghana to own a larger share of the oil. Cameroon began negotiations with a COMPULSORY 20% shares, before further negotiating for more shares, royalties and taxes. Cameroon earns close to 70% of the oil drilled in that country. Ghana shamefully earns less than 30%.
Check the book below: Ghana can take a lesson from Cameroon on the negotiations, and take a page from Malaysia on Resource Management.

Owura Kofi, this is a good suggestion but when incompetent people bribe their way to top positions in the country they will "COLATERISE" the oil for anything at the expense of the country. This and the immediate past gov't are as blind as an earthworm.
