Drawing parallels between a nation that has practiced democracy for well over 200 plus years and one that is yet to establish its democratic bona fides is stretching it a bit...once our democratic institutions go through their teething problems and become robust, then the comparison can begin.

Are you saying that the good aspects of democracies elsewhere that unfold right in front of our eyes shouldn't be emulated and that we should wait for over 200 years to be like the advanced democracies? That is lazy thinking.
What does it take to strengthen the institutions of state so they can help us grow our democracy?
Do you see how we fail to solve problems? If we are to wait for the "teething problems" (as you call them) to emerge and be solved before learning how to improve governance, we will wait for ever and ever and be damned.
Oh, Ghanaman!!

Dr Bokor with all your chasting and analogy you fail to mention president Mahama name the man who disrespect parliament and use his own authority to steal and waste $4.8 billion to achieve nothing and sent us to IMF domain to treat like robots and zombies.What you fail to tell Ghanaians is that president Obama who is the most powerful president on the face of the planet has no power all but only vote power and that is all the powers he has and it sound very funny.President Obama can go to war withour the approval of both the house of representative or the lower house of parliament and the senate and the president who is the commander in chief has to receive orders from the to two houses and all the president can do is to vote and those it.Dr Bokor it seems president Mahama is paying you.What did ex-presidents got to do with this while president Mahama is our president and travel to spent holidays in Dubai.Dr Bokor What is your point?

I strongly disagree with your arguments. Firstly we must understand that democracy is not divine. It is a man made ideology that thrives on lies, distortions and serious sustained propaganda.Take the US for instance, every pronouncements made by her leaders are laced with bold face lies. That is why their so-called democracy is growing.Africa does not need democracy. We need our own egalitarian form of governance.Let us stop glorifying whatever the West regurgitates. Professor please put your thinking cap on and come up with something we can all be proud of.

Bokor must know that Kufuor is not enjoying anything from the vindictive Mills and Mahama administrations. Kufuor has not got his end of service allowance. Late Aliu never had it till his death. There is no accomodation for Kufuor. Only Rawlings is enjoying these things. Kufuor travels on his own ticket and other international bodies. Just see the evil and wicked acts of your NDC administration towards Kufuor and spare him the comparisons which rub pepper in his wounds. Ignorant Bokor. You must be surprised about these revelations I am doing. How black man can be so wicked and hate his fellow blackman is a mystery.

Gyasi, my musing is certainly not lazy thinking...far from it....it is astute....we have emulated various aspects of western democracy evidenced by our parliamentary and electoral systems.....and of course, the stealing at the public trough.......corruption, bureaucratic red tape and what have you.....however, to compare our nascent system to one that had gone through all the rigors you can think of is absurd, and plainly preposterous.....let us get our democratic institutions, the courts, legislative and executive, media etc functioning on an even keel, then we can start making those comparisons......comprehendez vous?
