  Malaka,
  You wrote a great article but the heading is very misleading to the reader. If you want to point out issues in the ruling government, do that, however, don't mix the Independence Day Brochure mishap with beef with the current government. If this article was made into two, you would have still got a large readership for each piece but this particular one confuses the reader, especially me. I want to be mad at the fact that no one double-checked the brochure before it was printed but it is impossible with you seemingly hating on the president's appearance and quoting number of children he fathered without any concrete evidence. The man campaigned for the job and he should be made to do it the right way but just attacking him because you don't like him, not his policies, is childish and 'witch-hunting' for an excuse why Ghana is poorly ran.

  I'm just as concerned a citizen as you, but, I've no sympathy for Mahama because of his boundless ability to disgrace our beloved country. This is a very good article, indeed.

  Mahama has reduced governance to Zongo. Bole Zongo government led by the yagbonwura, dead goat. I really don't understand Ghanaians. There is nothing positive about this government. If they survive a coup d'état just vote them out in November for human beings to take over. NDC HAS NOTHING TO OFFER GHANAIANS AND GHANA. INCOMPETENCY, LIES, CORRUPTION, STEALING,FUCKING BIG HIPS WOMEN AND SLEEPING ON THE JOB, PROMISES AND PROMISIES IN THE SKY, ETC. Does Ghana has a government with these idiots? NO and NO

  As an aside, I hope you are not suggesting that her making a mistake (assuming she did) makes the issue at stake less serious?
  
  If only we could stick to the issues

  Our current challenges go beyond the political angles. I learned a new word this week - mediocracy. Standards have disappeared completely from the corridors of government.

  Yeah,did you notice "youthfull" instead of "youthful" in describing the president in the brochure? I am very much appalled that people do not see this (calamity)

  As I have been saying the majority of Ghanaians experienced piecemeal education; it shows embarrassingly in the brochure brouhaha, in the unthinking and erroneous comments daily displayed in this forum, not to mention the mistakes and grammatical errors of the present writer.
  
  Our nation needs a complete overhaul of our education system, or we will continue embarrassing ourselves.

  Mr President..if you want to be a successful leader, then learn how to fire people left, right and centre. If you want to behave like Atta-Mills, slow, dull in nature then I predict the people around you will deceive you.
