Ghana government should take advanced deposit to close budget deficit for people who want to export cars to Ghana. The govt should slash import duty by 50 percent, For example $5000 for V8 lexus 460 instead of $14000. This will translate to a net gain for government. The current rate is punitive and opportunity loss for government. It makes sense to reduce duty and make more money than current system.

Name just one chief in Ghana who can rub shoulders with the Ashanti King? It's not about individuals here buddy, it's about his kingdom. Why didn't you give the said dictionary meaning? I said Ashanti is the only region in Ghana which is solely for Asantes. A paramount chief in say Accra may speak for just Gas but not Adamgbes. One in Northen region may speak for Dagombas but not the rest and so on. The Asante King speaks for all Ashantis and that is the difference. Take it or leave it but get some education.

Nonsense what wisdom do you have for you to give some to our president?? Look at how you and your chiefs sell our land. After selling no benefit for them and buyer, no school, hospitals, no gardens for us to rest and other important things which human needs. You traveled a lot but you never learn how they sell their lands and mange them.

Nana, thank you for the good counsel you have given to our first gentleman; God will continue to bless you. The negative perception people have about you, will be on their heads while you sail successfully. We know those who never loved Asantes and for that matter hate Asanteman will always speak ugly about you even in your good deeds. Nana let not this discourage you from doing your best for Asanteman and Ghana respectively. Whether they like it or not you are the only revered King in Ghana hence the decision of former Presidents and current prez to seek your counsel for the good of the nation. For those conflicting their minds, calling the respectable King across world a Chief, I waste no time teach you, as one Ayigbe comments 'common sense should tell you he is a King'. which chief in Ghana enjoys the previllage as head of state whenever he traveled abroad? which chief in GH received higher dignitaries like prez, Kings and Queens from other nation? Which chief in GH every important personality is to visit after meeting the prez in Accra? Which chief in GH can get the previllage to host and visit influential people in world like the Queen of UK and the Pope? Hopefully, this week the daughter of Queen Elizabeth will be in Ghana and we will all be in GH to witness her recipients, and can't think far whether your village chiefs will be included. For the records Asantehene can never be a called a chief when under him is more than 60 Paramount chiefs, of which one of these chiefs have the same status like the chiefs in other regions and tribes. example, in terms area of jurisdiction and population, the Manponghene is like the Okyenhene; the Offinsohene is like the Dormaahene; The Kumawuhene is like Togbe Afede, just to mention a few. So how on earth can this chiefs be compared to the only King in Ghana I mean the King of the Asantes. Read the history of GH and you will learn Ghana's history is dominated by history of the Asante people. And it shall revealed to you that Ashanti used to be bigger than the present day Ghana. A word to the wise they say is enough.

Advice is only that; advice, which may be taken or not.These presidents have the peoples' mandate.
No one should seek to impose anything on them.

The truth is those back bitters he has surrounded him self with voted for him,can you look up to God with respect that you voted Nana Addo? If you say he should not fight curruption for the sake of peace l don't think is a good advise,Nana is older,experience,powerful with the constitution backing him l believe he can draw the lines when someone is giving him good advise or not.
All this is diplomacy.we don't like any advise seeking personal intreast.Nana always remember people fought for this position with you,always remember you are dealing with human.no disrespect.

It's obvious that he's had at least a couple of decades or leadership experience... so what wrong in giving advice on that? Why would we need the counsel of state and other institutions like that if advice wasn't necessary ?

We thank God for bringing you to power, and pray that he should give you the strength, wisdom and the courage to lead this country perfectly. But be careful with the people, your appointees as the Asantie Hene , Otumfour said . They may be your down fall. also this Delta and Invincible forces can also cause your downfall. l always say that you won this election not by the effort of your party members, but majority of Ghanaians who don't belong to any political party wanted a change, and that is the reason why you are the President today. if you think otherwise look at how the then Ndc campaigned with a lot of resources but they were rejected by the majority.

Easy to say but dificult to act. To be asante King is very to compare to presidency. If you know the right keep the stool aside and stand for the president and put the foots to the right path and stop blanggin.
