  If countries like Senegal have implemented their own version of the this law that allows every Senegalese outside their country the opportunity to exercise their franchise why can't we do it. I you don't have the idea to implement it, don't limit it to everyone. Ghana is supposed to be a role model for democracy and advancement for other African countries to emulate, but there are too many pessimists and nay Sayers within our mist and that turns to affect our efforts to advance in my ways. More than twenty five years ago before I migrated to the US, the Ivorians had their Taxi cabs equipped with taxi meters so it was easy for every non French speaking visitor to visit and also transact their businesses without a hinge, all you needed to do was to hand over your destination to the driver and relax, at the end of the journey, all you do is just handover your money to the driver. More than twenty five years down the road we in Ghana still bargain on a taxi fare like a second hand clothing market. What a shame!!! Ok what happens if for instance a Japanese or a Korean, Chinese, Brazilian or any non English speaking business executive or visitor decides to visit and transact a business in solely and low profile fashion? How is he going to get around town without hiring an interpreter? Again the Ivorians had a reliable advance municipal bus services called the Sotra in Abidjan and most of their cities. So it was quite easy for visitors to get around either French speaking or not. This helped to attract businessmen from around the globe which in turn propelled a growth in their hospitality and services sector of their economy. Hotels, restaurants, retailers and hosts of businesses were thriving because of these few reliable efforts. However the Ivorians did not have a sound footing in political and social aspects of their life as we are currently enjoying in Ghana. All I'm saying is that we Ghanaians have the factors and conducive atmosphere to help us do better if we can lay aside these tendencies of the unyielding pragmatism and pessimistic approach to do things.
