    The nature of the Ghanaian is that, most of us are not responsible and trustworthy. The president has a lot to do and can not monitor every single thing, for things to work well there should be a constant check.

    Every constitutional agenda we follow today wasn't constitutional before they became one. Mr. Ayariga, even if it isn't, we hope for it to be. By the way, was the 'three wise men' ndc created constitutional?
