  The motives are mostly about self and the pleasing of foreign institutions!
  
  In order for it to be "service", the matter of divine principles must factor into the conduct of Ghana's political actors. Thank you.

  WE HAVE A COUNTRY THAT THEY SAID ONE HAS TO SPEND 6 MILLION CEDIES MINIMUM TO BE ELLECTED AS AN MP (FOR THE PRRESIDENCY I GUESS IT WILL BE MUCH MUCH HIGHER)-WHEN SOMEONE SPENDS THAT MUCH MONEY, DO YOU EXPECT THAT PERSON TO BE CLEAN? IS THAT PERSON A FOOL? NO.IF OUR DEMOCRACY SHOULD WORK EFFECTLY WE HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO STOP THIS. WHEN I WAS YOUNG CORRUPTION WAS IN THOUSANDS OF CEDIES, NOW IT IS IN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.PILLAGING TO THE CORE. THIS DEMOCRACY WE HAVE WILL NEVER WORK AND IT IS COUNTER PRODUCTIVE BECUASE WE ARE NOT DOING IT RIGHT TO SUIT WE AFRICANS. WE ARE NOT DEVELOPED AND NOT AMERICA (US)AND DONT HAVE THAT MUCH MONEY-SIMPLE.WITH THIS NEW MAHAMA NDC THEY ARE AT LEAST SAYING THE RIGHT THINGS-ORAL,OMANPAM,OPAL ETC. I HOPE THEIR CORRUPTION WILL BE LESS THAN THE PAST VERY CORRUPT AKUFFO ADDO AND HIS ILK- BUT I AM NOT HOLDING MY BREATH- IT SEEMS IT IS A CYCLE. WE HAVE TO TRY AND MAKE OUR DEMOCRATIC PROCESSS LESS EXPENSIVE-WE HAVE TO MAKE CORRUPT PEOPLE PAY DEALLY (INDEPENDENT JUDGES FAST TRACK COURTS FOR QUICK DETERMINATIONS) SO GOING FORWARD THOSE SPENDING SO MUCH IN THE HOPE OF GETTING ELLECTED TO STEAL BACK FROM THE GOVERNMENT COFFERS IN MUCH EXCESS THINK TWISE. WE HAVE TO CHANGE THE CONSTITUTION SO THE PRESIDENCY DOES NOT CHOOSE THE AG,CHIEF JUSTICE, AUDITOR GENERAL,OSP,EOCO,CHRAJ,EC CHAIR AND ITS MEMBERS, WHATEVER-WHY? BECUASE THEY WILL BE INEFFECTIVE AS AKUFFO ADDO HAS JUST SHOWED US. POLITICAL PARTIES (NDC/NPP IN PARTICULAR)NEED TO HAVE LOTS OF FUND RAISING TO HELP THEIR ASPIRANTS FOR ELLECTION PROCESSES AND STOP THEM DEPENDING ON USING THEIR OWN MONEY OR CORRUPT SPONSORS -IF WE REALLY LIKE OUR COUNTRY TO PROSPER. THE MILLIONS WE WASTE ON ELECTIONS CAN BUILD HOSPITALS ,ROADS, SCHOOL,ET AL. WE HAVE TO MAKE OUR DEMOCRACY AFRICAN-REFLECTED TO DETER WHAT WE ARE. WHAT ARE WE? WE ARE VERY CORRUPT & TRIBALLY BIGOTTED-OUR CONSTITUTION IS TO BE FRAMED TO BARE THAT IN MIND FOR THE PROPER CHECKS AND BALLANCES-FOR A PROPER NATION BUILDING THAT WILL UPLIFT THE MAJORITY POOR AND NOT THE GREEDY ELITE. IF YOU ASK ME, OUTFITS LIKE THE CHAIRS OF ATTONEY GENERAL,CHIEF JUSTICE AND SUPREME COURT JUDGES, AUDITOR GENERAL,OSP,EOCO,CHRAJ SHOULD BE CHOSEN BY THE MAIN OPPOSITION PARTY OF THE DAY-BACKED BY A CHANGE IN THE CONSTITUTION. OUR EXISTING CONSTITUTION IS MOOT. A PRESIDENCY THAT IS AKIN TO A MINI GOD-AFRICANS FOR YOU. I BLAME MR RAWLINGS (RIP) FOR THIS.
