Mahama is just experimenting with the country employing the empty heads in government. We need a few good men/women and not this boat load of chaff.

Everybody is complaining bitterly but very few dare speak the truth . We shall never move forward until the undeclared war against the Akans, discrimination of the majority and anti Akan propaganda hate agenda is resolved. One must fight fire with fire , war with war not kisses or playing ignorant to the reality . the northerners , ewes , Muslims and other traitors of the Akan interest are systematically destroying the future of the Akans . There is no democracy or govt of the people and by the people but the slow establishment of the caliphate of pepeni murderers using a system of corrupt govt that makes irrelevant all institutions of state in the form of a Saudi style monarchy of mahama and his brothers . Despite our huge potential and the fact that any true patriotic nationalist govt can definitely turn the economy around in less than 6 months , we are bogged down in this situation of undeclared war of the ayigbe and pepeni mafia who have hijacked all institutes of state . only a bloody revolution will set us free . everything we have predicted over the past few years has come to pass and there is more evil to come until we stand up accept that we are at war and must fight back. Even Obama now realizes this caliphate is a serious threat to mankind's peace and unity . All religions are from God but over time the devil ensures the good is interpreted by the wicked and used to cause harm , the righteous know religion is meant to ensure unity and goodwill amongst men not pain and suffering or discrimination. On one hand we have the mafia ndc killing our people's future and around the corner nana chooses as his closest allies northerners who will continue the agenda of hate , wait for the clarion call for freedom and spare none of these criminals in the political oligarchy of corruption and evil . JJ and his ayigbe criminals started this process and God will continue to punish us with hardships and pestilences if we do not stand up

By ' , the righteous know religion is meant to ensure unity and goodwill amongst men not pain and suffering or discrimination. "... the devil ensures that the good is interpreted by the wicked and used to cause harm, ....." It is clear that you are also being wicked and have assummed the role of the devil, because you are whipping up pro-Akan sentiments against the other tribes. I have been following your postings and have noted sadly that this is your way of life. Please, refrain from this way of life and pray for the peace of Ghana and work towards it.

I believe there are more politicians with professorship, PhDs, Masters and postgraduate degrees in Ghana than even the developed world, yet they have been unable to develop and implement policies and strategies to develop the country and improve quality of life for the people. Is that not strange?

Well, if that number of deputy minister are students when do they get time to study and at the same time attend to their ministerial duties? Is that an indication that deputy minister position is a part-time role or they are unnecessary? Though, I am in favour of continuous professional development, that many of ministers in part-time or full time education is tantamount to learning on the job. Who is footing the bills for their education? Is it the state and how many hours per week do they take for their studies?

Regrading the number of ministers/deputy ministers, there should be no cap on numbers but instead there should be a cap on the budge for ministers' and deputy ministers' salaries and allowances as in the UK. Here, the Prime Minister can appoint as many ministers, deputy and junior ministers as s/he wishes but they should all be paid from a set budget. If more than expected are appointed, then some may get less pay for doing a minister's job or would be pay by somebody else as it happened in the last reshuffle. For example, the new Leader of the Lords (Non elected upper house of Parliament) though has the same rank as a cabinet minister, she had to take a lower pay because the Prime Minister had exhausted his ministerial budget. It was suggested that the Conservative Party will top up the Leader's pay but she rejected the offer claiming she is well enough and does not need the difference. The Prime Minister was criticised for this and was accused of sexism because the new Leader of the Lords is a woman and not a man.

This method would be more effective as the President would be compelled to appoint fewer ministers without any constitutional cap on numbers of ministers and deputy ministers he could appoint.

When those could make meaningful impact on the writing of the constitution out of hatred and parochial reasons decided to stay away, what do you expect? a one sided document whose primary objective was to satisfy the desires of a reluctant Rawlings who still wanted to have as much power as he did under PNDC. So we are saddled years later with the prsent state of affairs with too much power in the hands of one man. Absolute power they say, corrupts absolutely.

When you have people on government payroll and the shadow images of the then president and president himself, who will cut your throat at any sign of insubordination writing the Constitution what do you expect? With our newly found freedom and fearless attitudes, this Constitution will not hold in the near future unless, the powers handed the President is curtailed by a separation of powers between the Executive, Judiciary and Legislature. We need checks and balances with no loop holes. Our younger and future generations are not going to take the nonsense our generation is showering on our present leaders because of our inbreed cultural heritage of honoring the elders and leaders of state even when we know they are as fallible as all humans.

I hold the same view that the 1992 Constitution has given greater authority to the president.
Why did the framers arrogate funding of the Judiciary Branch and Parliament to the government?The Bank of Ghana can exercise this function.
Where lies the independence of Parliament and the judiciary if they are cash-strapped?
Will not a corrupt government hamstring the Judiciary by deliberately denying it funds as we are witnessing under John Mahama so it will be impotent in prosecuting corrupt government officials?
There is the need to amend the constitution to correct these kinds of stuff.
The constitution should be at the finger tips of every Ghanaian,especially the Press so breaches can be pointed out and the appropriate action taken.
Though the constitution enjoins the sitting government to complete projects started by the previous government,such is not the case.The reason there is too much money being wasted.
