  Sir,I agree with your comment but, the situation in Ghana is not different from what we are witnessing in the US. I hate to say that the political incivility is a product that has been imported from the US to Ghana by those who have been following the so-called western democracy american way. There is no daylight between the present Republicans and Ghana NPP they all sing from the same song sheet. Likewise the NDC being bedfellows with the Democrats. The only difference is that while the Americans has practiced and lived with the situation for over 200 years, Ghanaian's have just began crawling in democracy and therefore lacked maturity. But be rest assured we will overcome the huddles and we will learn how to govern through the mistakes we make during this infant stage. Presently it seems pathetic but there is hope. Don't give up yet we will overcome through our mistakes and the bumpy roads though unbearable can not stop the onward democratic journey. The Chines proverb says "A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step" which I believe the whole country has already taken. May God bless Ghana.

  98% OF GHANA'S POLITICIANS AND OTHER LEADERS ARE CRIMINALS AND UNCIVILIZED VALLAGERS IN SUITS.
  
  THAT'S WHY OUR COUNTRY IS MOVING BACKWARDS EACH DAY.
  
  IMAGINE IN THIS 21ST CENTURY, VICTORIA HAMAH WAS ASKED IF SHE COULD COOK - BY A MINISTERIAL VETTING COMMITTEE MEMBERS PAID BY GHANA'S POOR TAX PAYERS.
  
  THE VETTING OF PEOPLE TO TAKE UP MINISTERIAL JOBS IS A FARCE. IT'S NOT ACHIEVING ANY MEANINGFUL PURPOSE.
  
  THE SAME APPLIES TO THE HOPELESS AIMLESS JUDGMENT DEBTS COMMISSION.

  THESE ARE THE USEFUL QUESTIONS TO ASK GHANA'S MINISTERIAL NOMINEES.
  
  NOT "DO YOU KNOW HOW TO COOK"?
  
  1. DEFINE ECONOMIES OF SCALE. GIVE AN EXAMPLE IN YOUR MINISTRY.
  
  2. WHAT IS COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE AS IT APPLIES TO PRODUCTS AND/OR SERVICE DIFFERENTIATION IN THE MINISTRY YOU’LL BE ASSIGNED TO?
  
  3. NAME 5(FIVE) OR 6(SIX) STRATEGIC BUSINESS UNITS (DEPARTMENTS) IN YOUR MINISTRY.
  
  3A. HOW WOULD YOU ACHIEVE HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL INTEGRATION IN YOUR MINISTRY?
  
  4. DEFINE SYNERGY.
  
  4A. DEFINE QUANTITATIVE EASING, AND THE NEED FOR THAT IN AN ECONOMIC SYSTEM LIKE GHANA'S.
  
  5. WHAT METHODS WOULD YOU USE TO IMPLEMENT LONG-TERM ECONOMICALLY SUSTAINABLE MONEY SUPPLY (GOV’T SUBVENTIONS) IN YOUR MINISTRY SO THAT GOV’T CAN MAKE A RETURN ON ITS SUBVENTION INVESTMENT IN YOUR MINISTRY?
  
  6. WHAT WOULD YOU DO TO PREVENT ECONOMIC CONTAGION IN YOUR MINISTRY, AND WHAT IS ECONOMIC CONTAGION.
  
  7. WHAT IS ECONOMIC CONVERGENCE AS IT APPLIES TO ECOWAS OR AFRICAN UNION?
  
  8. WHAT WOULD YOU DO TO PREVENT WASTE AND LOW PRODUCTIVITY IN YOUR MINISTRY?
  
  9. WHAT MEASURES DO YOU HAVE IN PLACE TO ACHIEVE ECONOMIC SUCCESS STORIES IN YOUR MINISTRY?
  
  10. YOUR MINISTRY IS A STRATEGIC BUSINESS UNIT (SBU) OF GHANA GOVERNMENT.
  
  WHAT IS A STRATEGIC BUSINESS UNIT AND WHAT’S THE PURPOSE OF A SBU?
  11. DEFINE GHANA PRIVATE LIMITED COMPANY (GHANA PLC).
  
  12. RECITE THE GHANA NATIONAL ANTHEM.
  
  13. WHY DID NKRUMAH CONSTRUCT TEMA?
  
  14. NAME THE MONTH AND YEAR IN WHICH GHANA BECAME A REPUBLIC?
  
  14. WHAT ARE GHANA’S CURRENT GNP AND GDP? DEFINE THE TWO – GNP AND GDP.
  
  15. DEFINE SHORT-TERM AND LONG TERM.
  
  WHAT COMES BETWEEN THE TWO AND HOW LONG IS THAT FOR?
  
  FOR THE GOOD OF OUR NATION, THESE ARE SOME OF THE MANY IMPORTANT QUESTIONS TO ASK MINISTERIAL NOMINEES.
  
  NOT “DO YOU KNOW HOW TO COOK?” AND ALL THAT NONSENSE, AS WAS THE CASE WITH VICTORIA HAMAH'S VETTING AND OTHERS.
  
  HOW DO YOU EXPECT MINISTERS TO PERFORM IF THEY ARE NOT KNOWLEDGEABLE TO THIS ELEMENTARY LEVEL OF ECONS?
  
  ANYONE WHO GETS 50% OR LESS, LOSES HIS/HER NOMINATION.
