Dr., how can fire and water mix? NDC are known to be clever thieves, n NPP are nation builders. When NPP are building, NDC will be stealing, so they can never mix. Allow NDC time to disgrace themselves.

Here is another DR, Idiot. Advice on how multi party system can work rather than promoting a one party state. Coalition will eventually become one party.

The people should not allow anybody- politician- to form a coalition government in our land. It would end up becoming a 'COUNTRY CLUB' for the big men.

When we talk about "winner-takes-all," most people make it to seem that it is wrong for the elected party to use its own members to rule the Nation, and at all cost should bring on board other party members. That is silly. As long as the party could get honest people to do the work, why bother bringing in someone from another party. Not that NDC as a party does not have the members to bring development in the country, but rather it is because of wickedness and vindictiveness that is why they are not bringing in people Spio, Botchway, and others to come and help them but rather using babies with sharpened teeth.

Fact is, the constitution needs to be changed to allow the people to elect their own Regional and DCE leaders. That is the first thing to think of if we don't want the winner-takes-it-all. I don't see any sense in NPP or JAK choosing a leader for the Voltarians who voted over 90% for the opposition and likewise Mahama imposing his minister on Ashanti Region. This is common sense; if the Regional minister failed to perform, the blame will not put on the doorsteps of the President. The people will remove him or her and that will force that leader to perform.

Unfortunately, because of "jobs for the boys and girlfriends," no party is willing to suggest that. And now they come with this senseless talks about coalition government. In the end, people might as well forget to vote since it would "left hand washes the right hand and right hand washes the left hand." Who would have raised anything about GYEEDA, SADA, FORTIX and the rest of the rot going on.

The people should resist this senseless talk.

Why was there no outcry at the time? Please stop all this stupid talk making things appear as if the country is on fire, just because the president is not Akan. Where was this outcry during 2000-2008?

...The Government exercised the latter option when we disagreed over the judgment debt and other Gargantuan crimes. The Government, and my colleague Ministers at the time know that there was no provision for dismissal under my contract of employment as a Minister or that of any Minster.

I reserve the right as a citizen of Ghana to protect and defend my honour and integrity should this civilized challenge for the truth be ignored.

This is not the price I should be made to pay by the Government of Ghana for defending the Constitution of Ghana in the Waterville and Isofoton unconstitutional payments declared by the Supreme Court.

I bed to disagree with Dr Jonah on his proposition. Any group of people who are not committed to the welfare of the people of Ghana will not deliver. Both the NDC and NPP do not shown sufficient commitment to improve the lot of the people. Else why should we should have reports of all these gargantuan corrupt practices as in the 'Woyome and Drillship'(courtesy , Dr Kumbuor at yesterday's proceedings of Parliament).

My view is that if even the PPP or any other minor party is giving the chance to govern the country, they may do wonders IF THEY COMMIT THEMSELVES TO GOOD GOVERNANCE, by putting the people first.

SADLY, THESE TRIBALISTIC NPP THIEVES HAVE NEVER SAT DOWN TO EXAMINE THEMSELVES AND THEIR CONSCIENCE TO KNOW THAT THEY ARE THE MOST USELESS UNCIVILIZED CORRUPT TRIBESPEOPLE ON PLANET EARTH.

THEY ARE THE MAIN CAUSE OF THE SHIT GHANA HAS FOUND ITSELF IN NOW, BUT WELL, I DO NOT BLAME THEM.

I BLAME THE DUMB MILLS/MAHAMA ADMINISTRATION FOR NOT PUTTING ALL THOSE CORRUPT TRIBALISTIC NPP FOOLS TO DEATH AND CONFISCATING THEIR ILL-GOTTEN PROPERTIES.

LOOT OUR NATION WITH IMPUNITY TODAY. TOMORROW I'LL ALSO COME ON AND LOOT GHANA WITH IMPUNITY.

THAT'S THE GAMES BEING PLAYED BY THE NDC AND NPP, WHILE TIMID SUFFERING GHANAIANS SIT ON THE FENCE UNCONCERNED.

GHANA'S USELESS LEADERS ARE HAPPY THAT GHANA IS NOT LIKE CHINA.

THEY'D ALL WOULD HAVE BEEN PUT TO DEATH BY NOW!!!

I cannot believe a Political Scientist is making such a dangerous suggestion. First, there are no conditions for a coalition government in Ghana. One party has a clear majority in the Legislature and the same party holds the Executive. For the two reasons, there is no reason whatsoever for a coalition government in Ghana. He should study Political Science well and not make unscientific suggestion.

Second, NDC and NPP at the moment are at each other's throat that make the conditions are remotely suitable for them to come together to form a coalition government. Just look at what happened in Parliament yesterday. Second, there is too much corruption, particularly within the Executive arm of governance. That requires a strong Legislature and particularly, an active opposition to be a check on the Executive. For the two leading parties to enter into a coalition government is to give a free licence to the two main parties as well as the Executive and Legislature to create, loot and share.

This suggestion is daft and should be treated with contempt that it deserves and consigned to the dust bins of political obituary.

Western democracies have established strong institutions that generally do not permit corruption on the large-scale that is rife with the system in Ghana and elsewhere in the 3rd World. Mr Jonah knows this too all well as a distinguished political scientist, academic and a Ghanaian. The problem of the 2 major political parties in Ghana is not one of opposing ideological or even political difference. There is none. The 2 groups have cosmetic differences. And even more important, they are united by their massive corruption and thievery of the national coffers. Is anybody in Ghana blind to all the corruption scandals of both parties? In fact both parties were involved in the that criminal activity known as "judgement debt payments." The NDC and NPP are not fighting because they have any differences. The ruling NDC resents being hampered in its looting. And the opposition NPP is deeply aggrieved that they've been deprived of the chance to loot! Politics is the only growing industry in Ghana! Politics is the fast way to fabulous, astronomical riches! All at the expense of national development and the welfare of the people. One cannot deny reality and advocate theoretical concepts or adopt foreign systems that have no bearing to a country's reality. When we have established strong, anti-corruption institutions and have honest political parties too then you can talk about coalition governments and such. A coalition government of NDC and NPP is a coalition of two looting gangs in different clothing - which will simply put the last nail in Ghana's coffin!

Look at night all cats (thieves) are grey (the same). You cannot tell the difference or colour between the NDC and NPP cats because these prostitutes go to bed together. During the day they put up a smoke screen to deceive the gullible "give it to God" Ghanaians.

That said we cannot cast prudence to the wind. The only way forward as propagated by the genuine and true son of Ghana/Africa Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah is a united front i.e ALL-IN or union government. When the cats eat from one bowl or same saucer you can bet that one cat (NPP) will not allow the other cat (NDC) to have the lion’s share of the food (booty). That way they become watchdogs and afraid of their own shadows.

Yes, Germany a wealthy nation and the economic locomotive of Europe has formed a coalition soon to be ratified by SPD basis. They have reached a social market economy consensus for the good and welfare of the people of Germany. We can also emulate that in the best interest of the good people of Ghana. ALL-IN is the only way forward no doubt about it. Where there is political will there is a way/solution. Seek ye first the political kingdom and everything will be added unto it; another axiom from the greatest Ghanaian/African Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. AFRICA MUST UNITE; it starts with Ghana.

Well said for Germany. How many parties do we have in Ghana? For some political scientist to make such a suggestion is funny. These politicians have demonstrated over the years that they cannot work together. It goes back to 1957. When you read some of the parliamentary proceedings, it becomes clear that the opposition have the believe that any policy idea from the ruling party , no matter how good it is must be rejected. It was also true for the ruling party. If we have tried so called multiparty democracy for this long to no avail, why would some form of "UNION GOVERNMENT" work now? Like someone said it will quickly turn into a 'COUNTRY CLUB'.

Until we - or better - the "so-called" politicians understand their role (one as not mimicking the hellish circus of the US), then we actually can have a government - coalition is just a word in our context, for we are a people, not peoples coming from competing European traditions, subjecting African, American and now Asian ones to the crazy white circus for power and dominance; let's teach them that first, Dr. Jonah. Otherwise, they will just find the best opportunities to blackmail our country in the name of politics or thinking they are blackmailing or winning points over each other.

Since when did he realize that the practice of winner-takes-all is not good for the country’s socio-economic development. or is it just b'cos NPP is in the opposition for the 2nd consecutive time? and if it were the other way round perhaps that would have been good for the nation? this is another political talk to favour the NPP. Forget it; they should wait for their appointed time. Thou sayest the Lord... there is time for everything on this planet, so pls NPP let there be peace. NPP you are free to criticize but constructively as your constitutional right but not to criticize for criticizing sake to undermine and insult your opponent.We want to see your usefulness as the opposition party reps in parliament for the good of our mother Ghana .Let us have some sanity in the system. ...'aaaba yabre mo'!!!

A government that limbs from one crisis to another should not be a model for a developing economy like Ghana!!
More decentralization from Accra will be in order. Too much control from Accra. Let the government regulate and guide depending on which political party wins an election and allow the people and business to lead the development.

I thought NPP ( or more precisely Nana Akuffo ADDO) was rejected by the majority of Ghanaians during the last election. Nana Akuffo Addo tried to use the courts to get the presidency but that failed miserably and now instead of putting in the legwork required to make the NPP electable the NPP party leadership is now resorting to these desperate and outlandish suggestions. Are they hoping that by drumming up these suggestions they will develop enough momentum to make their suggestion become reality? Could it be that some people in the NPP now suspect that the party in its present format with Nana Addo et al at the helm will never be voted into power ? The NPP must restructure itself to reflect the aspirations of ALL Ghanaians rather than that of the narrow interests of some tribalisitic minded members. The NPP NEEDS to shed its Akans only image if it wants to ever win an election in Ghana. The whole leadership structure of the NPP IN ITS PRESENT FORM simply lacks the know-how , will or vision to be able to lead the party to an election win. The painful reality is that a 2016 election win for the NPP is now beyond REACH,A PIPE DREAM. Too much time ,resources and energy was wasted and squandered persuing a futile and self defeating litigation in order to massage the wounded over-sized egos of a failed leader. To be honest as things stand A 2020 win by the NPP is a more realistic target, provided much needed gut-wrenching reforms are courageously carried out. IT IS SIMPLY TOO LATE NOW FOR THE NPP TO GAIN ENOUGH TRACTION AND MOMENTUM in time to unseat the NDC IN 2016.IT WOULD TAKE A MIRACLE FOR THE NPP TO WIN the 2016 ELECTION.EVEN THE DOGS IN THE STREET COULD SEE THAT THE LITIGIOUS PATH EMBARKED UPON BY A SORE LOSER OF THE LAST ELECTION WAS DOOMED TO FAILURE.

Is he trying to re-write the Constitution? He was talking yappy yappy when kuffour was in power but he never talked about winner takes all. Now that his godfathers are out of power he is advocating for bringing them in through the back door. He should have known that until the constitution is so amended what he is advocating will be unconstitutional. That makes his submission academic dishonesty. If the NPP learns to accept defeat and wait for their turn, Ghana will be very peaceful and development can go on in peace.

What we do not need are immature, greedy and down right imbeciles cohabiting to rob the country. Our politicians graduate from the universities, have no life or working experience and go straight into politics to become ministers. Our political system is top heavy with everybody wanting to become an MP or minister. We must build from local government institutions upwards. Decentralization is key.

The problem is not parties sharing ministerial posts but having teams of intellectuals whose aims transcend partisan loyalty craft and implement our educational, land administration , taxation, etc. You can share the posts but if the beneficiaries are of the same incompetent, corrupt and greedy stock, nothing will be gained.

Acheapong was right after all. Africans do not want to use technology to fight corruption. We need to use technology to bring corruption under control instead of relying on preachers because that is what is keeping us pinned down economically; NPP & NDC are both very corrupt parties. The idea of a union government backed by some technology (use of computer software to track government transactions and decision making, so no one forgets what he or she signed a while ago etc..)will be the proper evolution of our politics. We need to go back to the way our ancestors governed, but give it a modern twist. There must also be very strong local governance, backed by funds originating from the very locality through local taxes, so roads, drains, schools, garbage disposal can be taken off the hands of the government. Independent candidates must also become prominent, because there are a lot of prominent Ghanaians who do not want to be associated with the two parties NDC & NPP which are both very compromised by scandals at this stage of our political evolution. Independents can play a very important role in Local Government governance and also at the national level. Multi party democracy has not produced one single success story in the developing world; all the great economic achievements in the last 5 decades in the developing world have been recorded under dictatorships or de-facto one party political dispositions.

In a country where corruption is the order of the day regardless of who is in power, the only power the citizenry have is the choice of deciding which of the two parties is LESS corrupt on a time continuum and granting same the mandate to rule. Just like in business, competition breeds efficiency and customers win. The intense rivalry and competition between NDC and NPP is the only way to fight corruption. If we give them the chance to “chop” at the same time then we are doomed.

With all due respect, Dr Jonah's idea is insane - even anti-patriotic! To suggest a coalition of the two political parties that have equally ravaged the economy of Ghana through sheer thievery in all forms and manner does not make sense and is inherently dishonest. No, Dr Jonah, what the good people of Ghana need to do is to overcome their differences and form a coalition get rid of these two looting gangs forever! YES, A COALITION MOVEMENT OF THE VICTIMIZED PEOPLE OF GHANA TO ASCEND TO POWER AND USE OUR MONEY FOR THE WELLBEING OF ALL NOT THE PERSONAL ENRICMENT OF THE CRIMINAL POLITICIANS. There is absolutely no ideological difference between the NPP and the NDC. In fact, the NDC has done and continues to do the most damage to the Nkrumahist legacy.

Only Dr Jonah knows what God he worships and what ethics and standards he upholds at this time in his life and career. But his shocking suggestion makes no sense whatsoever and is inimical to the interests of the vast majority of the people of Ghana.
