I do support this recommendation. I believe the Kings and Chiefs should be the second house where they will remain non political but have powers to request governments to perform some actions, steering the blue print for development and also to be able to call on individuals or organisations to answers questions.

Kufuor's idea mimics the composition and function of the Council of State.

As it stands right now, that institution has become a lame duck. Instead of creating a whole new upper chamber, we could look at giving our Council of State some teeth to bite. Also, appointments to the Council should not solely be based on partisan considerations.

I do agree however that our parliament as it stands lends itself to be easily compromised by various interests, especially given the fact that majority of the parliamentarians are stark illiterates or half-baked intellectuals.

Happy Birthday JAK.

The least talked about the Council of State in its present form and shade the better. Presently, theirs is to advise the President who is not obliged to take on board their counsel.
What Prez. Kuffour is talking about is by far different but has the same Parliamentary powers that the Executive, including the President dare not ignore.

Ghana needs a second law chamber but you had eight years to do that including the Single spine salary structure. But you this thief only spent your entire 8years looting.

Wouldn't it be better you shut up?

Sometimes I wonder which cave you cretins crawled out of. Did you know the 1992 Constitution had a clause that it cannot be amended in any shape or form until it has been in force for 20years. That is why it fell on Mills and now Mahama to begin the constitutional amendment process.

Fool don't display your ignorance and idiocy for all to see. There is wisdom in what Kufour is saying. You same fool will have heralded the idea if it had come from Rawlings. What use in having a Council of State handpicked by the president ad it is now. Kwasea think for a change.

What we have in this nation by way of institutions are enough to propel any country with citizens that have the right attitude to move from nothing to something. All we are left with rather are a bunch of free loading ignorant fools who deserves nothing other than being matched to the stakes and shot simple. Pres. kuffuor, already the Ghanaian law making body is taking too much from the people by way of resources than they are giving back to it so please until the attitudes of going to bed with a thought of stealing and waking up with a hatched plan to do it early in the morning we will be no where and we can even choose to have twenty houses of lower or upper house we will have nothing. By the way must we always copy, The Americans have the senate and another one whose name I dont know. the british have the lower and upper houses of parliament that is them this is us ours has a problem of plain thievery that deserves nothing other hard core shooting at the stakes simple and people like yourself would not be running your mouths after having looted state coffers

Whom are you fighting for? The corruption everyone is talking about started from ADAM inherited and revisited by Kuffour. It is a fact that the Busia faction in the NPP has had their share of looting again through Kuffour and so the Dankwa faction must take their turn to have their share. That is the meaning of “all die be die” This is what has called gripped the minds of even the bishops, pastors and imams among them to prophesised falsely without checking the fundamentals.

What is wrong with the conscience of these rogues who have pledge to sell everything in Ghana to foreigners with the aim of receiving just dividends for their children’s children. They survive on the booty their fathers looted after overthrowing Dr Kwame Nkrumah. Today they have sold and misappropriate these ill-gotten wealth bequeathed to them by their forefathers through dirty campaign. Juxtapose Nana Addo and Kuffour, analyse these two men carefully (you can add what you know personally) what have these two men achieved personally if it has nothing to do with corruption? Kuffour`s corrupt allegations are very clear and glare that even the devil would be shocked to know the enormous mischief and evil this man possesses.

All we saw in eight years of Kuffour in office was day light robbery of properties and owning them at all cost. He supervised a regime of no shame, penetrated into state reserve lands and forcefully paid peanut for them. Siphoning from state account and redenominated the currency with impunity. They demonstrated arrogance and excess abuse of power. It is unbelievable how Kuffour`s numerous presidential initiatives headed by Allan Kyeremanteng, all ended up in “MATREKO WO” island. None of them prospered just like his mentor Dr. Abrefa Busia.

Kuffour sold our precious assets: Ghana Airways and its properties abroad, Ghana Telecom, the oil Rig and Ashanti Gold Fields. He is the villain and the enemy of state Ghanaians must look for and demand justice, He is the demon and very evil who came to kill, steal and destroy. Kuffour did not construct any road in Accra yet he managed to change and rename what his predecessors have done to create the impression that he is working

Nana Addo’s insincerity starts from his demeanour as a drug addict, his educational qualifications, and his dealings with the nation’s oil exploration which he is dying for to be president at all cost. This is what is making him to defy nature about his health condition. Nana’s sources of income did not come from his personal sweat. He is where he is as a result of the booty bequeathed to him by what his father looted from the economy and also the bribe his father took, serving as a traitor to overthrow Dr.Kwame Nkrumah. Now that he has used up all the wealth through dirty campaign and empty litigations, what he thinks of doing is using his demonstration talent to buy the conscience and lobby by using corrupt minds in leadership position in the country; some of them who pose as men of God, to chastise Government and make the country unstable. The tactics of Nana Addo is nothing new to what his father did to Ghanaians. Their sole interest is to make every regime ungovernable by castigating lies, ugly insults, throwing bombs, killing women, burning markets, lengthy shallow litigations in courts and false alarm blowers. What can they boast of themselves and what have they achieved for Ghana? They want Ghanaians to be sub-servants to them whilst in their own thinking and mental deliberations; they remain perpetually slaves to neo colonialism.

Today, you can see and hear anyone blaming leadership by just talking and blowing false alarm. However, if you analyse those personalities in question you can easily tell that they are more corrupt than whom they are accusing of corruption. The voice of the wise have been watered down and rubbished. The use of gullible words is more appreciated and encouraged and this is what is being imbibed into the minds of mass illiterate and semi-literate people in society. What can Nana Addo differently of which Mahama is not doing? This is what he needs to dialogue and preach by using of decent language

This is another way of creating jobs for useless people who'd use it as vehicle amass wealth at the expense of the poor . Even, the British are contemplating abolishing the House of Lords for becoming to expensive to run. Some just go clock in and out and bill the tax payer £300 a day without doing anything. Can Ghana afford this exta burden when we cannot afford to pay our 275 MP's ? Kuffuor's priposal must be binned immediately. Thank you.

This idea of establishing an upper legislative body is past overdue.I know there might be unintended consequences but the kinks would be ironed out with time.The earlier we start this legislative revolutionary reform the better and stronger our democracy would be for generations to come.
As for where the money would come from,that ought to be easy.We should redistribute what we spend now on our bloated lower house to finance an upper chamber.
In the first place we need to abolish the so called Council of State.Then considerably reduce the house membership to 150.A small nation of less than twenty-five million citizenry should be content with 150 lower house legislators.The upper chamber can then be have 5 members each from the ten regions for a total legislative body of 200.Money carved from the reduced lower house can then support the establishment of the upper chamber.
The composition of the upper body should be ENCOURAGED to be non-partisan.Independent minded Ghanaian from all works of life and experience can contest region-wide for this upper chamber to serve for a period of five years possibly staggering with the tenure of the lower house.The Presidency should be reduced to a one term mandatory six years.
I think we would have more than enough money to finance a lean but efficient two branches of government that'll be accountable to our people.

Well said but how are we going to ensure "......50-80 leaders who are worthy not bcos of their membership of (any party) but just citizens........"

This country is so much divided along party lines that this will be a herculean task.

I think we should do away with the party system and use a kind of constituent assembly system.

1. Each Constituency must elect one person to the assembly.
The selection process must start from the district assemblies level till one person is finally elected at the constituency level.
2. Those selected will form the national assembly.
3.From among them, they will elect the leaders -
the head(President), his vice, cabinet members and others like CJ, Board Members etc. etc.

Naturally, there will be all kinds professionals, chiefs, the ordinary man etc. among the selected persons who can make good decisions and manage the country on the peoples' behalf.

I strongly believe with the constituent assembly system devoid of party lines, the current rubbish we see because of party politics- winner takes all, insults, pull him down etc..) will vanish.

The process will be repeated every 4 or 5 years.

The council of state system is politically oriented so why don´t we come out with good suggestions and give it a thought and stop the insults?. Ghanaians always reject good things and embrace disaster.

The Ghanaian adage there is wisdom that come with age seem not to apply to Kufour; he sold not only his soul but any semblance of intellectual capacity to his puppet masters while at Oxford in his youthful days.
The malfeasance, bribery, corruption, loyalty to tribe and political party over love of country cannot be cured because of what the British do but by wiping away all the old bastards who have systematically raided the national coffers, created rich families in Ghana who cannot point to any productive work and or contribution to Ghana’s development.

Kufour should explain how a two chamber system in Ghana would have prevented him from ignoring a standing open bid procurement process for Ghana’s stadium renovation contract he offered the Chinese company even while the process was ongoing that gave us the Woyome judgment debt saga?
