If that happens then NDC will collapse because many Ghanaians in diaspora will vote massively against NDC corrupt party. Nana Woye buei!

Ghanaians just copy blindly. We always take short cut solutions. We can't even control our borders and this is what we thinking of? Now we want Nigerians to come and run our country? How many countries on our continent with porous borders are doing this? The Ivorian president had problems for even having a burkinabe father. That's how much others value their citizenship. We are just giving ours away and devaluing it for political gains. The NPP was making noise about how Togolese were voting in our elections, now they are in power thet want more foreigners in.

What is wrong with the requirement that Ghanaians with dual citizenship must not work in the public service?If they want to they must renounce their allegiance to foreign nations.After all they are not being barred from working in the public service.They cannot denounce their country and still claim that they are the patriotic sons and daughters of Ghana.THEY ARE TRAITORS,PERIOD.

Does your point applies to footballers and other sports personalities born in diaspora holding other countries nationalities? Please clarify your point and let us take it from there.

You surely have not travelled before. People become dual citizens so they can survive, not because they are traitors. E.g in S.Africa now, if you are not a citizen u cannot get a job in government as a teacher even if u have a green card. This is contrary to their own laws but they overlook what the law says. So in order to be able to work,u have to become a citizen.

Stupid fool calling yourself PATRIOT. Your argument is bourn out of jealousy. Ghana is already practising this by virtue of the diaspora soccer players, did you think about that before you typed that gibberish? Kwasiato!

Are you saying having a dual citizenship makes you better placed to serve Ghana?Where does your loyalty lie as a dual citizen?Are you a Ghanaian or British,or Canadian or American?AKUFFO-ADDO'S GOVERNMENT IS JUST PLAYING TO THE GALLERY.Any Ghanaian who has pledged allegiance to a foreign nation and denounced his Ghanaian citizenship is a counterfeit Ghanaian and should not be trusted.

Stop your nonsense. How many times do you guys call us for help. We work hard here and send what we make home to help develop the nation then you turn around and spew out nonsense. Without some of us being here, majority of our people would not have been able to get to the level they are now but the same people would turn around and insult you. Do you think someone just becomes a citizen of another country for fun? Most of time this is the only way one can move around quickly and help those back home to progress

Black man the man without conscience, he will sell his own children to be slaves or see them dying like flies on the Mediterranean,
what did Ghanians got from your so call patriots from independent till now, because of your corruption, greedy and self centered, Your children are running out of their country, to find job and bring foreign exchange to their country, and you call them traitors, i think you should rather call our leaders brainless, useless and thieves.

Well, ever imagined why persons with dual citizenship who have amassed great wealth of intellectual, moral and ethical values overseas will not be allowed to serve in government?? That is laughable. I bet you bringing the hordes of intellectual minds in diaspora to bear on governance in Ghana will be a vital healing for the country. Nobody should tell me that the present crop of Ghanaian thieves and idiots in parliament are patriotic than those living outside. The diasporans could be the flashpoint for bringing sanity into government because they are morally and intellectually saner than the morons whose pedigree is tied to corruption only.

Dude, thanks why they are scared is because must of our politicians don't have a exposure and the think if they allow dual citizenship, the kind of competition they would have to go through may expose their weak argument in parliament with little brains? Chinese Americans are those who have change the economical,science,development face of their country. But our evil tribal nonsense would not allow those who have acquire knowledge, wealth of intellectual to come home and help turn things around imagine some who has not got any exposure from region with no much development, had the chance to university then straight to become a minister though he/she may have the theory knowledge but zero practical know how?

As to what Madam Hannah Tetteh said in her contribution, there are also at least 4 elected British M.Ps' and 1 other person in the British house of Lords who have Ghanaian heritage. The difference though is that they do not have dual citizenships, they are considered British citizens, period.
The issue is one of allegiance when it comes to political appointments and dual citizenship, and we need to differentiate heritage connection with citizenship, they are two different things.

Even the USA allows Dual citizens to serve in Government. So why is Ghana afraid of natural born Ghanaians holding the citizenship of another nation ?
