If the old people are shatring the booty at the detriment of the young,what stops them from going to get their own. The youth see how the politician live and want to be like themif not better.

That is where the money is. They won't need to work again once some government contract passes by them for them to claim "10%". Remember, they want to make "$1million" and they can "control" people.

Once can see that politics was an area that you can easily steal and go free.

I listened to a most disgusting interview by that kwame nkrumah tikesee. He was so biased and misleading to the extend that, he was fueling the hatred and leading the anti Kwadwo Nkrumah Crusaders the way to attack him. I felt sickened listening to him playing tribal tunes orchestrating from another mo ron doubling as the financial secretary to the Ofoase constituency. Knowing very much that Kwadwo Nkrumah was a journalist and was physically neutral but yet an NPP die-hard and could not mount platforms to campagne for any party, i think even a fo ol should know this. I thought he was tough but now i will throw my support for Chairman Sefa always. This guy started financing his constituency right after resigning from broadcasting and could that finance secretary tell us his contributions to the constituency? With his tribal drum playing now, i think he has exposed himself a big time. LAZY AKIM MAN, thats why you have sold all akim properties to ewes and northerners. Even baba jamal could stand an MP at Akwatia. Shut the fu ck up you mo rons. Is President Kuffour from Dzorwulu? But he votes there, apart from his house built at the airport residential area, what has he done for Dzorwulu?

The young ones cannot concentrated on their job and perform effectively. At his young age they seem to have competing priorities such as, achieving higher academic or professional credentials, building a career, marrying and having and upbringing their young families, and self actualize. They have no time and definitely nothing left to offer their communities and/or country. To me the best age for politics is at retirement, when the individual after all the hassles in life, decides to have had enough for him/herself and dedicates the rest of his life doing "good" for the country and community. Joining and partaking in politics then becomes a "call" to duty and an end game and not a "means" to power, riches and fame!
