This unqualified, clueless, visionless, empty-headed, shameless, bloody fucking, try-and-error president, Mahama Dumsor, must fire himself, before he even deems it necessary to fire someone.

We Akans as a people have competent , knowledgeable expertise and capable individuals who can not only manage Ghana but even the USA or any country for that matter. As long as we tap into the resources of both the diaspora and home i am confident there is no problem we cant fix or sustainable solution we can not implement to give our people a better standard and future . Omanhene kwasea pepeni Mahama in his small-mindedness, tribalism saturated with mistrust and hate for the Akans fueled by the ayigbe treachery has appointed incompetent fools who would collapse any economy be it the USA , Germany , Japan or Canada . In fact the caliber of his favorites are so weak i doubt they could manage even a roadside chop bar for week successfully talk less an economy of 25 million strong. NDC's experiment with leadership from the north will cost them dearly as Ghanians will never again trust a northerner no matter which party fields them and they will be lucky if the party doesnt totally disintegrate into nothingness . The basic principle of democracy is to enable the active participation of the majority thus tapping into the potentials of the majority and secures the unity and progress of the people , pepeni has deviously managed to sideline the influence of the Akans and the majority of all Ghanians so is in effect and illegitimate govt that's only focused on robbing and stealing , to hell with everything else as he simply doesn't care about what he knows doesn't belong to him . He is a traitor and no indemnity clause should save him from his reckless selfishness and corruption but should be made to answer and be punished adequately either through the courts or lynching him in the streets. yes its time for a bloody uprising or war to rid us of this menace forever . His ministers are not only stupid but retarded so must also be hung from the highest tree tops for not resigning when they knew they could not perform or had no plans . Their families and children should also be bdeaten up for enjoying while the rest of the nation suffered . We all know that there is no way pepeni will see the end of his mandate without a serious conflict or peacefully talk less of even attempting a de facto third term. one thing we now all know is that the ayigbe and pepefuo have a set of values and mindset which is incompatible with the rest of us and its a mistake to remain in the same country with them so we should split the country either peacefully through negotiations or with a war whichever comes first .

A very interesting article that has raised very important questions and issues. Is the Chief of Staff the same person Rawlings was lambasting for riding in town with motorcade?

Is he that incompetent?

CONGRATS KWADWO CRISTO, IAM VERY HAPPY TO TAKE BOLD INITIATIVE IN WRITING THIS ARTICLE. I REALLY SECOND YOU IN EVERY PART OF YOUR ARTICLE,BUT I WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT FURTHER. IT SEEMS AFTER THE ELECTIONS PRESIDENT MAHAMA DECIDED TO NEGLECT HIS PARTY OFICIALS AND THE FOOT SOLDIERS WHO TOILED FOR NDC. HE STRAIGHTLY STARTED TO APPOINT HIS FRIENDS WHO WERE NOT PART AND PARCEL OF NDC INTO THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENCY FOR EXAMPLE DR. SULLEY WHO EVERY ON LEGON KNOWS WAS A PNC MEMBER. HE AGAIN MADE SOME APPOINTMENT TO DETACHED HIMSELF FROM PROF. MILLS ADMINSTRATION. HIS APPOINTMENTS IS KILLING NDC AND PUSHING THE PARTY INTO OBLIVION. PRESIDENT MAHAMA IS NOW SENDING AWAY OUR FIREBRAND COMMUNICATORS LIKE DR. TONY AIDOO AWAY FROM THE COUNTRY TO SERVE AS AN AMBASSADOR. RELEGATED STRONG COMMUNICATORS LIKE NII LANTE VANDERPUIYE, OKUDZATO ABLAKWA,AND COMPANY WHO MARCH NPP COMMUNICATORS BOOT FOR BOOT IN COMMUNICATION. I BELIEVE PRESIDENT MAHAMA WANTS TO BE A ONE TERM PRESIDENT, AND AS WELL AS, SEND OUR PARTY INTO OPPOSITION. WHICH NPP WOULD MAKE SURE IN FUTURE NDC CANNOT ASCEND TO POWER AGAIN. PRESIDENT MAHAMA WAKE UP FROM THIS SLUMBER AND DO NOT BE ONE WHO CAUSE THE EMINENT IMPLOSION OF NDC. I SAY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

He reports to the first lady not to the prez,I'm not kidding he's so clueless you have no idea. Our biggest problem now is low self esteem at the presidency,

Mr president is fascinated by Raymond's Harvard education and Gariba's supposed exploits, and Bani's bloated UN resume. We are doomed.

How do you recall all 42 ambassadors appointed by Mills?? Even in a change of gov't it's not done at once like that. This is the most disappointing presidency ever, it's an insult to Limann to compare his tenure to this one.

Mensah, I think the President must take the writer's concerns in good faith and do something dramatic to save his presidency. There is too much confusion in this government. Everybody is doing whatever he or she thinks. This sad state of affairs reflects poor on the President's judgments and the leadership qualities of the chief of staff.

This is one heck of an article. I have read it several times and I think the writer is an insider and does like what is going on.

What do you?

Even when there's a change of govt, say from NPP to NDC you don't recall all 42 ambassadors at once, ESPECIALLY when you don't have readily the diplomats to fill those posts. We are almost almost half way into the term of office and most boards are not constituted, they are making a mockery of MMDCE appointments,where in a place like Adenta they can't nominate and collaborate with the assembly to install MCE.

The Chief of Staff is completely clueless, he doesn't know half of the major players in Ghana politics, you ask yourself, what was Mahama thinking when he made that appointment. Its no secret that he's more attentive to the 1st lady than to the president.

The irony of the problem is how all these so-called NDC firebrands are sitting with their tails between their legs and not saying Jack. How does the president surround himself with all these clueless clowns and the super corrupt and "armstrong" Baba Kamara (the de facto chief of staff)

It takes an ignorant person like Mahama to recruit such an incompetent COS. He must therefore fire himself first.

THE WRITER WOULD HAVE DONE WELL IF HE HAD HAD THE ABOVE AT THE BACK OF HIS MIND BEFORE PUTTING PEN TO PAPER.
THE WRITER IS ONLY COMPLAINING THAT THE NDC CHOP CHOP PARTY MEMBERS HAVE NOT GOT ENOUGH ACCESS TO THE PRESIDENT AND HIS STAFF. SELFISH SELFISH SELFISH.

The Masai tribe would normally send the intelligent children to go look after the family herd of cows in the forest and rather send the stupid ones to school. But The NDC has rather thrown out their would be the best chief of staff for foreign mission and rather appointed a diplomat to look after the affairs of its Governance. The Masai wisdom is that ,it is the cleaver and intelligent one that would know how to keep their flock out of the reach of lions and wolves for they consider their herds as wealth. But the NDC would have done better with Tony who is regarded as a hardliner in the party. Chief of Staff position needs somewhat militant person who can expose and move and ask questions why certain Government machinery is not working well. Every Government is prone to sabotage and as such must have a good watch dog, someone people are scare of that would demand answers and can lead to punishment. Some one who would want institutions and structures put in place to work for the sake of the party achieving its manifestos. He zealously guides Government policies. Now, Tony is being under utilized, cooling off in the white man's country, well that is the sad story.

Do you like what is going on in this administration? Did you even read what the writer authored`?

Kwasiato. Wait till the NDC loses power and you will see what will happen to this nation. I know the Chief of staff will flee because he did not even vote. He has his exit route planned already.\\

Have you ever written any article in your life.

Idiot like you.

Our eyes are red because the President and his chief of staff are fucking the party and the nation up.\

And you say what?

This is a totally erroneous. Why would you charge at a hard working high official in such a manner and disseminate such deceitful misinformation to the public? All you managed is to hit on the dark side disregarding the brighter side. Who cleared the jam and inconveniences at the Tema harbor? And if you didn't do your homework well, the rate of bribery and corruption has reduced to a drastic 15% compared to last year. There are many more brighter sides but please do your homework well, mind your language and STOP painting the Chief Of Staff Of Ghana black. Thank you.

Rom. D, I will be very pleased if you link us up to the data that says that the rate of bribery and corruption has reduced by 15%. I would be surprised if it has because we all live in Ghana and we know that this canker is devouring the fabric of our society. There is no ministry or state institution that does offer comfort to this destructive vice. Name me the state institution.

Talking about the harbor, do you know that corruption is at its apogee notwithstanding the fact that there is a task force in place. How much has the task force made since its inception? And what is the work of the big boss at CEPS? Doesn't it show the weakness of the chief of staff and the President if they can't bring corruption down at the harbor?

Let's hear from you.
