Certainly good talk. I have always said a country will be successful when it is run by intellectuals and not any person in the street. He said it right. When these boys are freed it is going to create a big feud between the executive and judiciary. The President, I know will bow to pressure and free them because of votes, and as well hatred for people of knowledge as the NDC has always been.

Mr. Karikari, do you know why it is said that 2+2=5?. It is also said that 2 heads are better than one. Do you know how many eminent Ghanaians constitute the Council of State?. What makes you wiser that all their brains put together. Some people speak as if they are from heaven!

Absolute nonsense!!! Is this going to be the first time a sitting President will grant pardon to people convicted of crime by the courts?
Why can't people be reasonable??? Do you believe the conviction and sentencing of the host, the commentators, the station as well as Directors and shareholders were done within the limits of fairness and in good faith???. When some Judges took goats and money to free criminals, why didn't those who found the judges guilty prescribe a punishment for the Chief Justice for not supervising them effectively???
You can demonstrate for the rest of the year and nobody will care.

Proponents agitating for the release of the "montie trio" should ponder over their actions properly. They threatened the lives of judges and they have been incarcerated as contemnors. If party members pressurize the govt to pardon them, it would set a bad precedent. It would imply that the govt is validating and endorsing violence. Supposing a relative of any of the judges also threatens their lives physically or verbally after their release, would the signees expect that person to be prosecuted and incarcerated by the same judiciary? The sword of violence could be held by anybody in the society but it is the judiciary which is mandated and empowered to incarcerate such miscreants from society to make it save. If the judiciary is crippled, the society slips into anarchy. A word to a wise is enough.

Why is everyone stampeding the CoS? Don't they have minds of their own to make give sound advice to the president? This hypocrisy must stop forthwith. The SC has carried out its mandate according to the constitution, other entities must also be allowed to carry out theirs without pressure and so called advice from those not entitled to give them same.

“And [we] hope that they will not come out to advise the president in, my estimation, wrongfully because what is going on appears to be really blackmailing the president. There are people who are saying: ‘If you don’t do this, we won’t vote for you.’ You will not vote for a president because he has not pardoned somebody who has threatened the lives of public officers? So, we are hoping that the Council of State will come out with a perspective that will bring sanity to the atmosphere.

“It is unfortunate that the misdeeds of people who have no regard to ethics of journalism, to good manners of public speech, will bring this country to such a brink of a crisis of sorts. It is unfortunate that leaders of a ruling political party will provoke tension between the executive and the judiciary.

It is quite unfortunate and I do hope that the Council of State, being what it is and what it is supposed to be, will help bring sanity in this whole atmosphere, which is really a great and useless diversion of our attention from important national issues.

“I can only hope that the Council of State will be as wise as they are expected to be. If they advise the president to go ahead and release these people, I will consider that to be very unwise advice to the president by an institution that is supposed to be…wise."

The Council of State is an irrelevant institution, it is a bane on Ghana's kitty. They are a group of do-nothing people being paid just for doing nothing. They fear to talk the truth to attract the wrath of their paymaster. They see no evil, hear no evil, feel no evil. As long as their belly is full, to hell with the rest of you. A bunch of useless entities occupying space in the political landscape.
Whoever embedded this in the constitution is block headed.

If the Counsel of State gives bad advice, each member of the Counsel in a near future be made to serve the terms of the convicts. That will serve as a deterant to future Counsel of State Members. Period.

Old age is a beautiful thing but not when it comes to leadership like that of a president. I like this man's (Nana Akufo Addo) charisma and humour but I think he is too old to be elected as a president. At the age of 70 years your thinking capacity and ways of analysing and executing issues is depreciated even if you are on medication. One must have seen too much in life at the age of 70yrs especially in the past and this alone justifies ones judgement about the present and the future.

I mean with all due respect, how is a president going to make decisions for the future of a country when he’s not going to be around? Being a president is like being a ‘verb’ which literally means action. A president must be active in the day to day activities of a country no matter how many people are surrounded by him/her. A president must be seen doing stuff like cheering the people on, inspiring the people, uniting the people, running with the people, visiting communities, helping the people, doing hard work with the people in other to motivate them since action speaks lauder than words! Please tell me how a president at the age of 70yrs would do all these and still have enough strength left to continue running a country.

This is the 21st Century, Ghana and for that matter Africa needs young and matured brilliant leaders with fresh mentality to transform the life of the people and not leaders with 1st and 2nd world war mentality. The world has moved on long time ago and it is still advancing and Africa must catch up and not left behind. The masses are rising and discerning and the old ways of doing things are no more. A modern nation needs a modern technology and not archaic philosophies.

Ghanaians must do the mathematics and know that this presidential candidate is too old. He is a grandpa and we all know what grandfathers do or perhaps, can do. Health and Security are the two main issues facing the whole world right now and considering his age, I have even not heard him say nor give ideas about how his administration would tackle this two sectors. Ghana, be wise and vote for a young and a vibrant selfless leader to help transform the life of the people with a strong liberation of the whole African continent.

I pray for good health, mentality change and long live for Ghana and the whole African community in Jesus name. May GOD help us all!!!

Who are the members that constitute the Council of State? When the Professor has found the names of individuals on the Council, he would not have bothered to give his measured advice. Let me inform the Professor that there has been a Peace Council, in President Mahama's Ghana for all this while. But what has been their output? In the face of all the maneuvers of the Electoral Commissioner, which prompted even, a Supreme Court justice to let out a caution. What has been the response from the man, in whose hands the destiny of this country has been entrusted? Prof. you may be disappointed but please do not get disappointed, when it does happen.

It sounds sad reading the lines and understand that it is only the Ashantis by major who see the whole issue of the montie 3 as a thing of tibalism and political hatred hence their foolish tribal comments while forgetting the evil and hate speech Kennedy Agyapong made and asked the Ashantis to attack and kill the Gas and the Ewes, a move that might have plunged our nation into civil war if by mistake there had been negative action and reaction from any of the tribes mentioned. Karikari and Apraku are typical Ashantis who are very inward looking people.
