Mahama has shown that too much executive power is dangerous for the country. No matter how poor in judgment he is the prez makes all important decisions, of course with his handpicked buddies.
The council of state is useless. It is another avenue to compensate already rich people who are buddy buddy with the prez.
The actual work of governance is done at the local and district levels.The present system and constitution were made FOR the great JJ. He was a dictator who wanted to keep tabs on all what went on all levels. So he got together a handpicked team, and gave them the warning to craft a system he was comfortable. Only he forgot that he would be off the scene for the mahamas to take over at some time.Therein lie the woes of Ghana.

CHRISTIANS IN UK TO EXPOSE FAKE PASTORS, FALSE PROPHETS, ETC.
A christian movie whose cast is made up of christian actors and actresses from various denominations like Assemblies of God Church, Praise Harvest Community Church (PHCC), The Church of Pentecost, Redeemed Christian Church of God, Roman Catholic Church, Lighthouse Chapel, ICGC, The Porters House, Action Chapel, Salem Christian Centre, Winners Chapel, Methodist Church, KICC, etc, is set to be released in UK, Ghana and other countries soon. The upcoming blockbuster movie was created by a UK-based Ghanaian by name Sammy Ankrah, one of the core leaders and a member of the Board of Trustees of Praise Harvest Community Church (PHCC) headed by Rev Moses Asare in the UK.
Speaking to Midlands News in the UK, Sammy Ankrah, who is a Geo-environmental Engineer and a Pollution Scientist by profession but also involved in church work, said he got the vision for the film in October 2009 when he caught a revelation from a message delivered by Bishop Bernard Owusu Ansah (alias Bishop O A Bernard) of Praise Valley Temple, Holland, during the annual MOVE convention of PHCC in London. According to Sammy Ankrah, who is also a writer, Bishop O A Bernard’s message came as a catalyst to 'push forth' a concern he had been heavily burdened with over a period of time earlier. He said some of the issues he dealt with in the film are real life occurrences he had experienced personally, or had been experienced by other people which those people had made Sammy Ankrah aware of.
He bemoaned what he called “The Elitist Strategy”, which he explained to mean the development in the church where educated or relatively enlightened (per the context) preachers of the gospel cunningly use psychology in the name of God to “subdue the mental matrix” – the reasoning capabilities of vulnerable followers and potential converts to the faith. By so doing, according to Sammy Ankrah, they manage to put fear into their victims and use certain biblical truths to brainwash the victims to unsuspectingly buy into particular self-made doctrines. He said even so-called 'learned' people among the congregation sometimes readily fall victim to such 'schemes'.
The film maker explained that by this strategy, biblical truths are cunningly twisted by such charlatans for their selfish interest at the expense of the unsuspecting vulnerable. Sammy Ankrah stated that although he believed there are real ‘criminals’ who have mastered this craft of deception and invaded the church, the most worrying aspect are the genuine preachers of the gospel who have been influenced by the trend and have consequently resorted to fake strategies to achieve success in their ministries.
“I can emphatically tell you that a lot of people are going into ministry these days not because they have been truly called by God, but they see it as an easy route to achieve financial success, societal recognition, respect and fame. Even where people were genuinely called by God into ministry, some of them soon learn the 'charlatanistic tricks', especially when the going gets tough along the line, and so deviate from the ‘path of righteousness’ to join the bandwagon", he said. This development, according to Sammy Ankrah, is having a negative impact on the church and virtually overshadowing the good works of genuine preachers of the gospel who are doing everything possible to save lives from being lost.
According to Sammy Ankrah, the film was estimated to be completed and released at the end of the first quarter of 2011 but problems encountered during production resulted in a long unexpected delay. It is, however, scheduled to be released later in 2015.

The failure to allow the people to elect their leaders at the local government level is a clear contravention to article 1 and 35 of the 1992 constitution of the Republic of Ghana. But it is very sad, so to speak that NPP and NDC flout the laws to get their own merit. Why are they resisting it after Ghanians have expressed the desire to have their leaders at the local government elected? To me, I think if that change is effected their survival as political parties will be threatened so they will not allow it as long as they hold office. Because they see no need doing it. That's why Ghanaians must vote PPP into office come 2016 to give it back to them that power entitled them in the constitution. PPP is the only party that can and will make transformational changes in our society to reflects realistic development to the people. I say this because all that Dr Nduom have spoken about over the years all practical. Starting from how to fight and uproot corruption, proper governance,quality education, effective health care system,jobs for the youths, good infrastructure to accelerate uniform and sustainable development,strong economic fundamentals, towards long term growth and resilient economy. Making Ghana a better place for all Ghanaians not for only party foot soldiers. YES this WE CAN. With a visionary leadership we will surely get there. God bless PPP God bless Ghana.

The president is the most powerful powerful person appointing almost everybody. The constitution has to be amended to reduce the powers of the president.

OPAYIN NDOUM, I AM WITH YOU WHEN IT COMES TO A COMPLETE OVERHAUL OF THE PRESENT LOCAL GOVERNMENT ADMINISTRATION IN THE COUNTRY.
II IS WRONG AND TOTALLY WRONG FOR A GOVERNMENT TO RUN A LOCAL GOVERNMENT ADMINISTRATION IN THE COUNTRY.
THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT ADMINSTRATION WAS WELL BUILT BY THE DEPARTING COLONIAL ADMINSTRATION, LIVING THE DISTRICTS AND REGIONAL CENTRES TO ELECT THEIR OWN MAYORS AND COUNCILLORS TO UNDERTAKE THEIR OWN ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT, AND FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF THEIR AREAS.
THIS MEANS, THE COUNCILLORS WERE APPOINTED TO THE DUTIES OF EDUCATION, HOUSING, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT,AGRICULTURE, FINANCE,ROADS,UTILITIES(WATER AND ELECTRICITY)SANITATION, PARKS AND GARDENS AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT.
THE LOCAL ADMINISTRATION THEREFORE WAS ABLE TO RAISE THEIR OWN TAXES AND REVENUES AND SUPPORTED WITH A BUDGET PROVISION FROM THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT FOR PROJECT DEVELOPMENTS IN THEIR AREAS.
ONE WONDERS, WHY A FUNCTIONAL LOCAL ADMINISTRATION THAT WAS STILL INTACT AFTER INDEPENDENCE HAD TO BE DISMANTLED AND TO GIVE ROOM TO A BASELESS AND NON -FUNCTIONAL ASSEMBLIES IN THE COUNTRY.
HOW CAN A LOCAL GOVERNMET ADMINISTRATION FUNCTION,WHEN IT IS OBLIGED TO RELY ON FIVE PERCENT OF THE NATIONL GDP TO BRING CHANGES AT THE DISTRICTS AND REGIONAL CENTRES IN GHANA.
ARE WE NOT THOUSAND MILES AWAY FROM MAKING GHANA A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE.
IT IS SIMPLY A SHAME, WE HAVE STILL NOT CHANGED TO THE BETTER AND TO CONTINUE TO UNDERDEVELOP THE NATION.
