  Mr. Mahama should've waited for the Supreme Court's ruling on the matter before appointing the new EC boss. He shouldn't have panicked because he felt the SC might decide against his appointment of the EC boss, which I believe is a real possibility. Those against his appointment of the EC commissioners and the chairman have valid and concrete points; since the president is also a political player, he should not be allowed to appoint the referee.
  
  No matter the type of cut and paste constitution we may have, I don't believe the framers intended to give undue advantage to one political player over the others. Even though it was written under the P/NDC military dictatorship that wanted to control every institution and twisted the neck of Article 70(2) and Article 91(3) to appoint the first EC chairman in order to perpetuate their rule, it does not mean that we should allow the undemocratic procedure to continue indefinitely.

  This is good but who will implement this in Ghana. The country is all about ndc and npp stupid politics. We should fight for a change to save this country from the hands of the greedy bastards and vampirees

  Whether we stand at black star square or in makola to choose the electoral commissioner it will make no difference if we do not change our attitudes.

  Paa Kow has said it all. The Trokosi minted constitution, with criminal Tsatsu Tsikata as the main architect, is as useless as a used toilet paper.
  By the way, what was the use of the Raymond Atuguba's led Constitutional Review Commission, set up by the gross incompetent Mills-Mahama administration which saw millions of dollars of the peoples money pumped into it. Oh Ghana, when are these commissioners of Creat-Loot-And-Share going to be kicked out and thrown into jail?

  GHANA HAS ALOT OF FUTURE WITH SUCH BRILLIANT CHAPS. THESE ARE THE KINDS OF PEOPLE WE SHOULD BE PROMOTING TO BUILD A BETTER GHANA AND NOT HALF BAKED ILLITERATES. THERE IS STILL HOPE IN GHANA.

  this our constitution needs amendment. why should the electoral commissioner be in office till age 70.?so Mrs Osei has 28 years to be in office as the sole commissioner. it beats my imagination.
