He is even ashamed to look at the people in the eyes because of the way he has corrupted us. Even in the night and when raining mahama will still put on sunglasses why ?
It is not a dark glasses it is a transition glasses. when you are in light is goes dark and when you dark areas it goes plain. Bush man do your research before you come disgracing yourself.
As daft as you are PRESIDENT Mahama is the commander in chief of the Ghana armed forces. he appoint. so he has to be there. If you don't know, you ask rather than making a fool out of yourself.
it is the defense minister to appoint new army commander not mahama so why is mahama get involved here?
I wonder what Mahama is doing here but I guess, there's a sting in the tail. Time will tell.
Why are they enemies? He merely served in an office when he was a colonel. Leave the man alone. He has served his country well as a soldier. No politics here please!
Sinclear point of correction from the
Rank of Major and above is political
appointment and this done by the Army
council in conjunction with the commander in chief in this case HE
President JDM.
You may talk about the level of authority to appoint Lt Col and above and not that these are political appointments. There is no political appointment in the military.
Please pay attention to the learned so you can also acquire much knowledge.
No please. The President has to appoint the top hierarchy of the military because he is the Chief-In-Command of the Ghana Armed Forces.
defense ministers don't appoint army commander they all work for the commander-in-chief so he appoint people like navy commander, air force commanders and all other force in the country. Just learn don't just talk
You talk anyhow. Get your facts right. The President is the only person who appoints the Army commander. Why do you people always want to play politics.
if it doesn't fit,don't wear it.mahama what the glasses for? we have the right to know if you have river blindness(consistent with northners)soldier? horrible uniform size.
All three commenters to this have shown why ignorance coupled with arrogance is a deadly concoction. The president appoints the chief of army staff and not the defense minsters as suggested by the commenters. From the picture ...

You don't criticise everything the president does just to score political points when criticism is unwarranted. Was Mahama usurping his constitutional duties when he appointed or participated in swearing-in the new army chief ...

Propaganda appointment, we want northern or ewe man for that post not Akan bush man.
they all look dump with lack of confidence on their faces. Except for the guy in white outfit with no glasses he looks perfect for the job
truth on the way
The most dangerous agent on earth Mahamah John Ford Dramani is history he is worse than kwame nkrumah,jj IK Acheampong combine.
The first thing for this commander to do is, let all the commanders loose weights. They look too fat in the uniform.
CANT A WOMAN BE PART?? CAN SOMEONE EDUCATE ME. IS THE LAW AGAINST A WOMAN ARMY COMMANDER?
Women are in the military but none of them has risen to that level yet. It may be possible in future if they can work to that level.
In picture I can see brigadier Musca Weimar ,
Ranger . A product of United States army rangers school..
Why are our Ashanti brothers quiet? Why have we heard from them like they do when other tribes get appointments? The only time that they are quit is when it is about them. The only time they are happy is when their NPP and Ku ...

Its because the scale is already tilted towards the ewes and the north. Ashantis are not complaining just foe the sake of complaining. The odds are against them. Get it right into your head.
