  • Ghana-Man. 10 years ago

    Asiedu Nketia is too stupid to be part of decision making for a country like Ghana. Oh my God when will these primitive idiots (NDC government) be out of Ghana governance? They are tearing Ghana apart.

  • Nii 10 years ago

    Asiedu Nketia seems to be personalizing the issue as he is relating his view to the current chairman of the EC. I think the proposal is in line with advancing the course of democracy, and bringing parliament on board. We can ...

    Who care about your Akyem/Ashanti club, it is all over the walls that you NPP can never come to power again. Even if Mahama is swallowing all Ghana's money he is still better than NPP that will tear Ghana apart with discrimin ...

    The NPP will throw MUD at anything and everything they perceive to disadvantage them.

  • Idi Amin Mobutu Mokassa Jr. 10 years ago

    What needs to be done is to institute term limit on the position of the EC Chair. One person shouldn't hold that position for that long as Afari-Gyaan has been allowed to do

    BROTHER'S STOMACH YOU WIZARD.

  • Joseph Boadi- Boateng 10 years ago

    This nonentity, Nketia is narrow-minded and pursues selfish agenda. He can't be allowed to hijack the interests of the vast majority of Ghanaians.

  • Jake 10 years ago

    for your information the majority of Ghanaians voted for Aseidu Nketia's party to lead this country.
    Just because you NPP lost an election, everything must change or re-written to suit you.
    Who the **** you think you are.

  • Wuorfei 10 years ago

    I think Afari Gyan will be missed when he's no longer in office. His performance over the years has caused people to downplay the importance of his Office. Assuming we have a 2/3majority or > in parliament to decide on a cand ...

    Reforms should be made, and yes I think Dr. Afari-Djan should go before the next elections.

    Where is Asiedu Nketia's common sense? The proposal is in the interest of the whole nation and not in the interest of any political party. Why is he opposing it? Is he against progress or has no common sense? Nonsense.
