"“It is time to make sure that we have a true separation of powers between the various arms of government. Our parliament, the legislative arm of government, must grow into its proper role as effective machinery for accountability and oversight of the executive and not its junior partner...”"

Very good to the ears! Practice should not be difficult, then. A lot have been said about that already and nothing of consequence happened.
We would very much like Nana to do as he said, so we're keenly awaiting his total engagement in favor of his ideals.

We will pray for you for success.

Those who says he is not a President material must now down their heads in shame. God is with Nana Akuffo. The man says that if you want to make money, go to the private sector, not the public sector. He said this in his first speech and has said it in his inauguration. Again, he says he is a man of his words. We all know this man is disciplinarian that is why he is geared. He will surely deliver if Nana allows the independent prosecutor to have power to prosecute whoever he suspects, be it Nana's own family as time unfolds.

In fact, the real saboteurs in Ghana politics are the government accountants, especially, the auditors, the Chief Directors of the various ministeries, and other government institutions, even including those working at the background unnoticed. These people have always been there and will always be there as change of goverments takes place. Nana must allow the independent prosecutor to investigate all of them. If Nana were to deal with those mentioned, half the battle of corruption would have been won, for it is these people who steal and do shady deals at the expense of or to the detriment of the ruling government. Afterwards, eyes must be on them as they discharge their duties. Let me say that these criminals will look for ways and means to outwit surveillance, so Nana must find ways to outsmart them for it is in their DNA. Start jailing them in tribunals set up by the independent prosecutor, and it will serve as a deterrence.

Next, Nana must make sure that the annual one million dollar or four million Ghana cedis that will be allocated to each constituency is felt by each constituency. Government must tell the whole nation those who are going to disburse the fund so that the constituents will know them and hold them accountable. Otherwise, constituencies will hold you corrupt if the fund is not properly supervised. Nana must discourage committees that are set only to 'chop' the money given to the constituencies.

Next, concerning the one-district-one factory agenda, Nana must give to those private entrepreneurs, who are going to partner them, tax free incentives as they import their machinery into the country. In addition, Nana must reduce the tax they are supposed to pay annually to the bearest minimum, and within two years almost all these factories will spring up.

On the one-village-one-irrigation dam agenda in the north if constructed, must be linked to motorable roads to cart the food to where they can be assessed easily so that the north will be our food basket. We can learn from Ivory Coast who are now doing well in agriculture for they are not endowed more than Ghana. If Ivory Coast can do it, why not Ghana? We must ask them how they did it by sending personnel to understudy them.

If truth be told, all the promises are doable in record time if the disbursers will do it selflessly. Long live Nana, long live Ghana.

So isn't this man having a serious health problem? Could he have been coughing and wiping his mouth with the handkerchief infront of the dignitaries at the General Assembly of the United Nations?

It is better to have a president who has a health problem than a dead GOAT president.

Those who says he is not a Presidential material must now bow down their heads in shame from the way he delivered his inaugural speech. The man says if you want to make money, go to the private sector, not the public sector. He said this in his first speech at his residence and has said it again in his inaugural speech. He says he is a man of his words. We all know this man is a disciplinarian that is why he is feared by both NDC some of his own party stalwarts. Nana will surely deliver if he allows the independent prosecutor to have power to prosecute whoever he suspects, be it Nana's own family.

If truth be told, the real saboteurs in Ghana politics are the public accountants, public auditors, the Chief Directors of the various ministeries, customs, national rvenue collectors, and other government institutions, even including those working at the background unnoticed. These groups of people have always been there and will always be there as change of goverments takes place. Nana must allow the independent prosecutor to investigate all of them. If Nana were to deal with those mentioned above, half the battle of corruption would have been won, for it is these people who collects bribes, steal and do shady deals at the expense of or to the detriment of the ruling government. Afterwards, eyes must be on them as they discharge their duties.
