  The current members of parliament and the speaker are all rotten to the core. So it's a case of 'who is not guilty should cast the first stone'

  This letter should also be addressed to the Supreme Court and Parliament officially. Writing it merely on the internet would not be taken seriously. Good job Kofi Ata.

  You are barking the the wrong tree, ebm
  
  Neither Jacob nor I mentioned anything about dual citizenship.

  May be someone should let you know that Ghanaians in overseas contribute more to the Ghanaian economy than those at home by means of remittances to relatives and also in the form of business investments than you've been made to believe. Just take the time to check it out and you will see that it's no bull.
  In anycase, every Ghanaian.. be it those in overseas or at home, has a right to have an opinion to any issue regarding Ghana. Right?. So just be open-minded in your opinions.

  The last time l heard of an impeachment was when a president had his pants down. Mahama hasn't done that yet. Beside to impeach a sitting president is not constitutionally as easy as you suggest. In as much as we desire the best for our nation, impeachment would throw the nation into chaos. l am sure that is not what you want. Consider the millions of cedis that would go into legal fees. Thousand of man hours to be
  involve and there are no guarantee of success. Two more years is not far. Lets wait. Ghanaians can do the impeachment with their thumbs if that is what they want.

  MASSA KOFI, your article brings up the possibility of impeachment. However, do you honestly expect President John Mahama to be impeached for his Government's refusal to recognise the Supreme Court's ruling over this Dual Citizenship issue in our Ghanaian politics? C'mon, Kofi, you know this is exceedingly unlikely possibility!
  
  Given the principles of your argument in this article, and if there's a chance of throwing President Mahama out of office for his failure to respect and uphold the oath of his office and the law. It will require Parliament to consider the notion of impeachment. Will the Majority NDC MPs in Parliament impeach their own President? Of course, you know this is exceedingly unlikely to happen! And do you even think NPP will be excited by this idea? It will be politically dangerous even for NPP to consider this.

  My brother, LONTO-BOY, sorry for the late response. I was in London. I agree with you that impeaching Mahama is not going happen but it's an attempt to make those in authority in Ghana to note that there could be consequences for not complying judicial decisions, especially, Supreme Court judgement.
