I read this piece with pain in my heart It looks as if the Dr. lives in 17th century. Look in the last Uk general election , some 19 and 20 year olds were elected to parliament to represent their constituencies. Some of them are still schooling. Do we know better than the same people we are learning from when it comes to democratic governance ? The oldest democracy is West Minster.
Almighty Italy chse a 39 year old as a prime minister about two years ago.and lastly wisdom and the ability to do something is not about age. Methusala lived 969 years yet has a very short story in bible compared to Solomon in terms of wisdom. Modernise your thoughts and stop the ancient thinking Doc. Thanks

.. President John Mahama
New Patriotic Party (NPP) has disclosed that the Mahama-led National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration has allegedly paid about GH¢949,661,017 through Ghana Youth Employment and Entrepreneurial Agency (GYEEDA), now Youth Employment Agency to Rlg Communications Ghana Limited for no work done.
The information and communications technology (ICT) company owned by a Ghanaian entrepreneur, Mr. Roland Agambire, NPP revealed, was “owing” another GH¢259,000,000 when the December 2012 general elections were over.
“Thus, as much as GH¢1,208,661,017 was spent on an elaborate, corrupt scheme, created mainly to assist President John Mahama hold on to power in 2012, using the false excuse of creating jobs for the young people of Ghana. Four years on, still, everyone in two young persons are unemployed.”
This was revealed by the Policy Advisor of the NPP, Mr. Boakye Agyarko, at a news conference at the party’s headquarters in Accra yesterday.
He pointed out that it was useful to recollect that the NPP’s National Youth Employment programme was launched on October 3rd, 2006.
According to him, by the time NPP left office on January 7, 2009 about 110,000 young people were employed under the scheme, earning incomes and not a single allegation of scandal was linked to the National Youth Employment Programme (NYEP) for two years.
He pointed out that the first innovative policy initiated by the NDC when it took office was to change the name from NYEP to GYEEDA, after which they proceeded to lay off all the 110,000 young Ghanaians under the NYEP.
“Yet, after spending an equivalent of nearly half a billion dollars, the NDC has not been able to employ more than 70,000 young Ghanaians under the scheme in eight years,” he added.
According to Mr. Agyarko, it was by this time in 2012 that hundreds of millions of Ghana Cedis were released for unbudgeted expenditure, including payments to Rlg Communications Ghana Limited, for distribution of laptops embossed with President Mahama’s campaign pictures.
The NPP policy advisor alleged that the amounts fraudulently abused under these so-called employment schemes went to companies with very close links to President Dramani Mahama from the womb of the AGAMS Group such as rLG, Craftpro and Asongtaba.
Some of the payments made to AGAMS, he mentioned, for instance, were laundered and rechanneled to fund campaign spending on billboards, newspaper, TV and radio adverts for the President and his party, the NDC.
“Indeed, such was the impunity used in abusing public funds that the benefiting media houses did not even bother to question why cheques from AGAMS were issued to them for payments of adverts done for the ruling party.
He said an illegal loan of GH¢50 million was also advanced to the AGAMS Group by GYEEDA.
Mr. Agyarko also mentioned that the Ghana National Education Coalition in 2013 complained about the fact that the laptop contract, sole-sourced to rLG, using a cheap Ubuntu software, was twice as expensive as other similar computers on the local retail market.
He indicated that GYEEDA, which replaced the National Youth Employment Programme of the NPP, was set up ostensibly to offer jobs for young Ghanaians.
“Instead, it became a conduit for looting state funds and funding the President’s 2012 campaign,” he averred.

Education and wise go side by side. An uneducated wise man is limited in his understanding of complex issues in economics , accounting and science. He/ she may be sound in logic but will obviously be limited. The simple reasoning here is that , if an uneducated person is unqualified to hold any sensitive position in a cooperate world why in the world would such a person hold sensitive post in lesgislating a country?
The prof is spot on.
It will help also filter the country to eliminate the excessive ignorance and waste being perpetuated
Across the country.
You my brother ,there is too much indiscipline in the country because there are too many empty barrels rolling around.

The problem is that the intellectuals are not that corrupt. The thieves and liars who are propagandists, they just steal some few bucks from the citizens having being made DCEs, MCEs and Deputy Ministers. After they stand for MPs and naturally because Ghanaians are hungry for money they ignorantly vote for thems.

Dr.Abudu you said it right. Education level has to play a roll in the nomination of an MP & DCE right down to the presidency. I believe 35 should be the starting age. Its appalling to see people who doesn't even know what legislating is about but find themselves in the chamber because some bogus party honcho elevated him or her for personal gains at the mercy of the well being of the country.
