Why that number of times? They are to have two chances and that is it.

We need to do the right things.

When Kwaku Baako informed us about the atrocities of Kwesi Pratt during PNDC Regime, some of us did not believe until the truth was confirmed during the NRC. Kwesi Pratt is the most dangerous Journalist Ghana had ever have, he had the gut to recommend his fellow journalists to be executed by PNDC. Pratt even recommended Baako to be killed by the regime, thank God Baako was instead touchered violently and severely but his life was spared. This is what Kwesi Pratt can do. Now Pratt is a secret agent to NDC and US Embassy in Ghana. May God forgive Pratt and spare him the untold evils that will come upon him and his generations. The souls of those journalist killed through Pratt's recommendations to PNDC will never forgive Pratt. Now Pratt has the guts to take Diplomatic Passport and smuggled his weak-headed children to work at the Ministries under Mills NDC, may God forgive Pratt and his dependance and spare them of the evils ahead of them...

It is simply power arrogance and a misguided, display of presumed autocratic powers on the part of President Mahama to continue to try to impose rejected candidates on district assemblies and municipalities. Good sense, borne out of the democratic pathos, esp. grassroots democracy and respect for the wishes of the mass of the people, entail that anyone rejected at least twice must be dropped. But President Mahama has been erroneously advised by the political harks around him that such politically unpopular persons should be re-nominated and the assembly men and women cajoled and arm-twisted until they vote for the unpopular candidate. There are too many of such scenes in the country.

Mills, to the chagrin of some of us, ordered that NPP appointed DCEs and MCEs should stay at post. Even when one in the W/R deserted the post and was making embarrassing noise that the govt should appoint someone to replace him, all we got was lukewarm silence and ineptitude from the Mills team. It therefore took a long time for Mills to get appointees in place. President Mahama has no such handicap, the NDC having been in power for the past 4 years and should have a team of capable persons to appoint, if some incumbents need replacing. What we are getting is even more pathetic than what happened under Mills!

Shame upon them! It is not democratic to try to impose an unpopular candidate on a people. Even Prime Ministers resign or are removed when there is a vote of no confidence in them by colleagues.

What is special about this Asamoah guy? Are there no other qualified persons in the District? For God sake, let govt stop this circus and get serious. Just make him acting DCE and get the area going. The people in the district are more important than these uneducated assemblymen some of who cannot even distinguish between a nominal roll and a pay slip

OOO FATHER FORGIVE HIM FOR HE KNOWS NOT WHAT HE IS DOING.
A hallmark of any incompetency is an excuse, which by the way is a trademark for Mahama’s Administration an extension Mill’s inability to perform until his untimely death. Here we go again, putting the plight of suffering Ghanaians into different motions. How long can we wait until you move to your fourth gear?

The truth must be told, anokware John Mahama cannot do the job.

This guy came to the job offering no real vision for the nation, instead he only served up absolute nonsense - Ede be keke - which for some, loosely translates into just existing at the wheels, not knowing which direction to go. To add insult to injury, he is telling us that, like a car, he is only in the first gear in a four-year term, so we can expect to see a fourth gear only in the fourth year. To hear that allegory from a guy and a president who had been a vice-president for the previous four years, and claims that because of the ill-health of Atta Mess, he John Mahama was really the one in charge behind the scenes, then we have reasons to conclude nothing good or extraordinary can be expected that is different from what we have seen from the last four years. The value is going to be the same, and corruption is going to consume all of us under Mahama. Our people tell us, 'Edwa beso'a efiri anopa', to wit, one can gauge the prospects of a good market day from the signs the morning activities project. Right now the country is sinking fast from all reliable indicators. In the last four years, the cedi has depreciated a whole 100 percent under Mahama and Atta Mess. What other assurances are we waiting for? To be hit on the head with bricks?

Look, John Mahama is not cut for prime time, he does not know how, and all his protestations are excuses to cover incompetence and corruption in high places, of which him and his party are direct beneficiaries. What the fuck is Ede be keke? Nonsense!

After rejecting the President's Nominee for the fourth time, it is clear that the electorate do not find any potential in him. If there is no other better person in the district to be nominated for the post, then the President should look outsid the district and nominate another person. The president should not force Mr Samuel Asamoah on the people. This is no politics. Theey say he can not perform or he doesn't have the qualification to be a chief executive. For all you know this man has bad records or tainted history hence his persistent rejection.

Is Mr. Samuel Asamoah the only person who can be the DCE in that District? The President has thrown the District Assembly Standing Order away and doing his own things which are out of the rules of the Assembly. The standing order states clearly that the president shall nominate someone for the DCE position and that person must acquire 2/3 of the confirmation votes. If that person fails to get 50% of the votes cast, he must be redrawn by the president and another person be nominated.But this disgraced president continue to impose his favorites to the assemblies which is wrong.he has done this in almost all the assemblies including kwabre east. Disgraced president!!!!!
