The constitution is what the country has to be governed by and not what someone thinks.Have they not seen what is going on in Russia and what they did in Ukraine? Treasonable offences and and murder must not be allowed on our land so the culprits must be dealt with as stipulated in our constitution, not what someone thinks.

Rawlings himself is a murderer.He and his gangsters, who staged satanic revolution to instill the most corrupt party in the history of politics is still alive.

Rawlings must offer himself for execution, for he is a murderer and a thief. He thinks Ghanaians have forgotten the unnecessary killings he carried out during his reign. He tied heavy metals to the neck of his opponents, flew them in a helicopter over Atlantic ocean and dropped them into the ocean.

Rawlings killed innocent people including nursing mothers, students and retired soldiers mostly from Akan ethnic group for mere hatred. He has inserted some articles in the constitution to protect his ass.

If Rawlings wants murderers to be executed, that is fine, but he should be the first to be executed. I am sure this Togolese bastard forgot himself before saying that stupid thing.

He should look at what his NDC has done to Ghanaians. Rawlings should agitate the execution of corrupt politicians and NDC officials who continue to loot and steal from state coffers. NDC, the political party this bastard called Rawlings formed is systematically destroying Ghana. Rawlings should talk about that.

It's ok for the Amnesty international to believe in an utopic society where every one will believe in the tenets of human rights. A paradise where all of us will live in everlasting peace with each other. We hope to get there one day, with God's help. However, the reality on the ground throughout the world now shows a world filled with others with barbaric tendencies bent on destroying and killing peace-loving citizens. Unfortunately, Amnesty international has been on the forefront in defending the rights of these brutal killers at the expense of the victims. The statistics may not show any decrease in crime in countries with capital punishment but remember, when you eliminate a murderer from a society, you have eliminated a potential rapist or a killer armed robber from the society. The community is one less murderer safe. I'm sure amnesty international will advocate for a suicide bomber who detonates a bomb ad kill hundreds of women and children to be cuddled up in in cozy jail for live. They forget that these victims also deserved the same human rights their killers took away from them.

Of the 50 States in the United States, 31 states have death penalty in their constitution. That covers nearly 250 million people. Amnesty International should first tell the USA to take out the death penalty from their books before telling the 20 million people of Ghana. Aren't they supposed to be the 1st world? Why are George Bush and Tony Blair walking free men while African leaders are being hauled to the ICC for trial? Somebody, please, join me to tell Amnesty International to go to hell.

Rawlings, a bastard who forced himself on Ghanaians for 19 years should be the first to hang the noose round his neck. He killed people for having two toilets in their compound homes and for borrowing money from the banks. He dropped people into the Atlantic from helicopters for no credible reasons. He's now got the cheek to tell Ghanaians that murderers should be killed. If he has any intelligence at all he'd be the first to walk to the gallows.
