  Criminals are getting more attention than slum dwellers. Only in Ghana. When will Mahama speak about the demolition of the old Fadama slum or visit with those displaced?

  Busia did not say that he was going to stay in power indefinitely, and he did not declare Ghana as one-party state either. Moreover, he was given a 5year mandate to deliver for Ghanaians to judge whether to extend his tenure or go for a different leader. But the communist leftovers got panicked and overthrew him prematurely because they were afraid of his achievements. Truly, the man knew exactly what he was coming to do for Ghana and hit the ground running from day one.
  
  On the other hand, Nkrumah had been in power for sixteen years and turned himself into a president for life. In the sixties, the country almost went bankrupt politically and economically and Ghanaians yearned for a change. But unfortunately, since Nkrumah shut all the doors that would enable them exercise their political will, and change him democratically through the ballot box; the only option left to them was a military coup. Therefore, the coup that removed Kwame Nkrumah from power was the only legitimate coup in the history of Ghana.

  The determination of who should be given amnesty should be the responsibility of a special committee formed but not left in the sole hands of the prison authorities, to avoid discrimination if any. The committee should have access to the profile of all prisoners to determine who and who does not but not the prison authority just listing names of prisoners based on their judgement. Are we also considering prisoner exchange to start with our neighbours? That is if we have any agreement like that.

  Mahama think about improving the society. If you create more jobs for the armed robbers and send Nigerians back, people will not rob to be sent to prison. I think you have no vision to lead the country at all.

  Some of your appointees will end up in prison pretty soon. Provide amenities they may miss. It will not be out of place to appoint Tsatsu Tsikata to oversee that task.

  Prison is supposed to reform and rehabilitate people to give them at least a sense of purpose in life. On the contrary Ghana prison is hell and even if one steal a fowl that individual could expect to be given 5 years by judges whilst MP's steal and embessle state funds but get away with him to build their mansions.
