Especially, one example of that, is the NPP politicians who be came multi rich in a day light, yet NDC will tell me no evidence to make arrest?

They are all guilty of cozening the system. Why? Because we as people don't hold them accountable. I concur, the constitution has to be looked at, and if possible take away the ridiculous clauses.

You don't have to be an economist or rocket scientist to figure out the state of our economy.

Ghana is morally bankrupt due to corruption skyrocketing, from east, west, north and south. Chiefs, MP's, Pastors and the whole community is ripping each other.

Broken networks has lost it's place in good governance. Healthcare, electricity, water is out of service.

The whole system has lost it's place in the society and the fate of Presidency is in chaos and confusion. Nobody knows what will happen the next moment because of corruption and tribal politics.

Let's all stand for Mother Ghana irrespective of your party affiliation and tribe.

Ghana belongs to those who can help build better institutions, education, healthcare, basic utilities water, electricity, food not asking for handouts from western world.

We can bring the change that will be worth living and be proud of who you are and the direction you want Ghana to go.

Why are we surprised about politicians? Their sickening attitude is all in their name -politicians. In Greek "poli" is a word meaning many and "tics" meaning blood suckers.There you have it.

Yes, politics is a hiding place for criminals. All over Africa, criminals disguise themselves as saints and enter politics to unleash their criminalities. You don't have to look far to realize this, the political criminals are right here in Ghana!

Just look at how they have made the laws in their favour; ex gratia? They would misappropriate the national coffers without thinking about the poor in the society. How on earth any right thinking people pay huge sums of monies to people who are not entitled? They are indeed criminals colluding with criminals!

Politics have been the hiding place for most criminals in the capitalist countries and not even Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln who say their fellow citizens Negros just as talking tools are an exception.
George Bush Jnr. created the myth of weapons of mass destruction if Iraq and murdered hundreds of thousands of the citizens of that country.
Regan and other drug lords hid behind Soviet Occupation in Afghanistan to enable that country to continue to cultivate opium. And the case is not different from the Latin American countries that are the best friends of U.S., Mexico and Columbia were drug cultivation, murder and other crimes flourish. The situation is no better from recently occupied Libya, Egypt and Tunisia.
Lies and terror is being used by the west to put their puppet drug lords in power in Syria. It is on record that the brother of the Afghan President, Karzai was the drug lord in that country until he was murdered by his own cartel in 2011.
Bribery and corruption is an aspect of capitalist socioeconomic policy, from racial segregation, colonization, apartheid, Zionism and Neocolonialism, the velvet revolutions, orange revolutions, Arab springs are all that is said to be democratic. Even the current false democratization of Burma has drawn a lot of blood already, covertly and overtly organized and financed from the west and the part and parcel of the corruption and bribery, that does not care even when thousands lost their lives so long as they are able to make profit from the mess they created.
It was India, then Korea, Azerbaijan and Armenia and Yugoslavia, in which the west do not care a hot about Serbian war prisoners who are slaughtered and their body parts sold to hospitals in the west. What is in the developed countries even stink more than what we have here. How can a woman in the west produce pictures of women in Iran, Syria and Libya and claim that they have been rapped or murdered by the army, just for fun and to see to it that the governments there collapse.
