Do you believe this 'trip' is going to add anything concrete to alter and improve the jaundiced position of this discredited organization? Your guess is as good as mine!

And why do people like you also think that the media houses in the US don't have their political and ideological biases? Grow up and stop running down African institutions and personalities.

Even if she goes to Jerusalem and return,Ghana is different as IEA has been biased over the years against certain candidates and that will not be solve by a mere visit to the US.

This Jean Mensa is happy to participate in the the American debate. When asked to organize her own, she was trying to coach the blockhead boyfriend Nana Addict who can't comprehend anything.

Didn't Mahama reward the bias lady who moderated the 2012 Presidential Debate with ministerial appointment as Minister of Education? If you live in a glass house you don't throw stones.

So such an internationally recognised personality was being insulted and vilified by these nonentities in the ndc. Who is Asiedu Nketiah to wield that power to talk in Ghana? Such an idiot that can't be used to do anything good,ooh Lord have mercy. When was the last time the ndc president met the president of the free world? President Obama had very good heart for Ghana like President Bush but visiting the country the first time with his family and meeting these ndc people killed his interest for the country,hence he went to Nigeria this year but didn't come to Ghana because the charisma of the country which made Ghana an interesting place to the outside world to visit had died out. I know when Nana becomes the president of the republic next year by now INSHA Allah! The glory and honour that got lost will come back. We can't continue with this lone ranger president who every president is running away from because of his corruption and stealing. I thought,if anything at all our next neighbors but it looks like we've lost them. Not even Burkina Faso his play ground is the president being close to him and his blind followers have no shame but to come here with their toaso,toaso and go where? John mahama is toast.

This does not mean she will apply whatever she learns sincerely. You don't need to be invited to a debate in the US to become sincere. Most Ghanaians are extremely insincere and Jean is one of them.

Well Kojo(Monrovia), as you know, none of our leaders, politicians and nonpoliticians alike, ever applies what they come down here (in the West) to learn when they go back home. They just come here like tourists - they come, they see (I don't know whether I can say they learn), but they leave everything behind as they go back home. Just wasting our money (taxpayer's money) really.

The debate is broadcast to millions of people worldwide; she is not participating in the debate. The two participants are Clinton and Trump. She is an observer like any viewer. You Ghanaians are plain stupid and give accolades to people for nothing. Being "invited" to be an observer is no accomplishment worthy of a news story. Get a life, people.

Ghanaians are really simple minded, does why foreigners easily come and dupe them.They think US elections is like Ghana elections and anyone can come from no where to participate.

That woman should know that in America they have a Presidential Debate Commission, a recognized body but not that useless entity she jointly owned with her husband which she is the executive director although she has no clue what she is doing,she doesn't even know how to talk to people but due to our foolishness we have allowed her and her husband to impose their will on us and instead of us doing things the way US does it we are reporting this bogus organization as debate organizers which they are not.

What's the big deal here going to a debate? Your own presidential candidates are avoiding any debates because they are so corrupt. They do not even have any issues to discuss other than giving out contracts and taking commissions. In Ghana, the president even finds time to commission a bore hole.

She is going to watch it live but not to be part of the panel of judges. In the US, the hosts of such presidential debates are neutral they are not bias and political wings.
