Every time there's an article with a sensational heading such as this one, the Herald or Alhajj would be the tabloids carrying it. These two tabloids seem to know the inner workings of political parties more than the executives of the political parties themselves. A tabloid is not a reliable source of information, as any discerning reader knows.

Sophia was born in 1950 and Justice Dotse was born in 1953. So if Sophia retires in 2020, Dotse can succeed her till 2013

There are too many mistakes in this article . The CJ is not the aunt of the Attorney General. They are cousins !!!!!! Sophia is the daughter ofthe late Rev. F.W.K. Akuffo, who worked in the UK as head of the branch of the Ghana Presbyterian Church in the UK. Gloria is the daughter of Oheneba Boafo Akuffo,who died a few months ago. Both men were from the Family of the fameous Omanhene of Akuapem ---Nana F.W.K. Akuffo.

The mere fact that you've been elected as President does not give you the licence to act capriciously.

Winning the election is not a trophy hence winner takes all.

Need to remember that Governance is just a representation of the People.

Democracy is Government of the People, by the People,
for the People.

You pledge you are a Ghanaian, yet by your very actions means you are interested in Family, Friends and the Lawyers in your Law Firm.

It has been committed over and over again, that one does not need to Proof by Mathematical Induction.

What lessons are you teaching the younger generation. That government is grid and grabbing.

You secure power only to assign the juiciest of positions to your cronies.

You need to rectify this attitude to the extent people are lobbying for positions all over place.

People are making Millions from been offered positions in Public Places.

All our industries have collapsed, the very moneys needed to rehabilitate are being spent on salaries of appointees.

We are in a quagmire, whilst our contemporaries like Malaysia,Indonesia,Singapore are making giant strides. we are distributing positions like toffees.

This country is the biggest joke of the century.

A country so blessed which if well managed should be ahead of Australia and new Zealand is wallowing in abject poverty.

Mr. President if you are a true Christian then you should love your neighbour as yourself.

Please match your words with deeds in other to confound your critics.

We are saddened and disillusioned.

If you are not called Akuffo then please don't venture.

There is nothing for non_Akuffos period.

This is the new dispensation for Ghanaians.

It would be very difficult for the Ndc to come back to power any time soon judging from the way these rented press is going. Majority of Ghanaians are happy with the appointment of Justice S. Akufo but the rented press is introducing tribalism in her appointment. I wish the Ndc would talk to them. They would ruin their chances for a long time. What a shame.

It is outrageous to single out ideas which do not culminate to facts and to disperse relevancy which accrue from the thoughts of man. Why should people always have bad opinion about decisions others make that do not suit their choises? Has man not got the morale right to choose whoever he deems fit to run an Office? Are the people chosen by the President not also Ghanaians and do they not merit to be considered in the decision making process? Why at all should the choise fall on the decision of others if the president feels comfortable with his own choise and the making of his government? It is high time Ghanaians become tolerant to reason and stop acting like aliens. God bless Ghana.
