  I agree with you. In fact, politics in itself may not be the problem but politicking.

  I am an academic, and I agree with Amakye on this. I think he is surgically spot on. The elephant in the room is dysfunctional political culture more than the constitution. Our constitution, like many, is not a perfect product, but it is the least of our problems.

  I beg to differ - The constitution is the problem. The constitution breeds the politics in our system. If the constitution bars the president from solely appointing an EC, how do we get political sycophants in that position. If the constitution bars the president from appointing it's stooges from running down institutions like ECG, Cocoa board but rather with qualified individuals who have to meet their KPIs, we'd be better off.
  THE CONSTITUTION IS GHANA'S PROBLEM.
  It has to change

  When the mindset of the people in any nation is as dirty as ours, nothing works better. Who has seen a foolish human doing something positive to himself or herself let alone impacting his or her nation? That is the Ghanaian.

  I perfectly agree to a large extent. The operators are the problem and not the Constitution. If you appoint 125 ministers, you can't blame it on the Constitution. The Constitution didn't asked for the appointment of deputy ministers from parliament, it's only ministers that majority should come from parliament. If you appoint 40 ministers, just 21 would have come from parliament and you would have complied.
