    Good points but the creation of crc by the president/the executive does not prevent the people from taking ownership. secondly winner takes all inadequacies can be addressed within confines of constitution pending any likely ...

    These are some of the salient issues that we need to address to unleash the potential of the Ghanaian people to solve their own problems. Simply put, how can the president sitting in Accra appoint somebody to go Tumu, and so ...

    Good point. He sees ghosts every night. He needs an exorcist to get his demons out. He was a thief - we all know. A hypocrite, that is, a Ghanaian, he is "rubbing salt in our wounds" by his pretentious diatribes, which I beli ...

    Good points RAISED:

    We cannot appoint people to rule over others wthout any input from those being ruled - absolute dictatorship - reason why some DCEs and MCEs are being opposed.

    DCEs and MCEs need to be directly elect ...

  • Truth 12 years ago

    DCEs and MCEs appointments must be left to the President. This is because the party in power will make sure their DCEs and MCEs get better resources than the opposition party. Thus there will be inequality in the development ...

    Was it not under the same winner takes all under which Kuffour ruled Ghana and appointed Same Tarzan as CEO of VRA.?

    I thought this guy is educated: the fact that the there is a petition in court does not make the President an 'illegitimate President'. The declaration as it stands is legitimate until the SC says otherwise.

  • osei yao 12 years ago

    It was good when Kuffuor was at it, but now it looks suspeciously evil for Mahama to do it. It is this intellectual dishonesty that dilutes intellectual debates in Ghana. The elite of Ghana have fascination with the "good old ...
