    I hope the council of state and the president are listening

  • Kay 9 years ago

    He doesn't have what it takes to Head the EC. He lacks morals, biased, too partisan and too corrupt. A Judge must be appointed to head the EC.

  • Kosi Ametefe Dogbe 9 years ago

    Being a judge doesn't mean that you are not partisan
    Weren't you in Ghana when Atugubu and his bunch of idiots at the Supreme Court gig that injustice by re-defining the word SHALL

  • Esi 9 years ago

    "he lacks morals, biased, too partisan and too corrupt". Sounds to me like you're describing the government.

    I support Emmanuel Akwetey as EC chair. From all I have seen so far, he is objective and will not let anyone comp ...

    Do u think this stupid corrupt president of yours will accept an honest man like AK we ten to be EC BOSS? No, he will choose a corrupt person like himself to be the EC.

  • Pelicles 9 years ago

    Trust me, if Mahama choose any foolish person to head the EC, Ghana will pay a heavy price for that. We need a non-partisan, honest and commonsensical person to sit on the EC chair for Ghana to breath a sigh of relieve.

  • Well wisher 9 years ago

    Fool.C+C=Csquare?This is a good example of the big problem Ghana has.

  • David 9 years ago

    He does not become corrupt because you say so

  • VOICE OF REASON 9 years ago

    But NDC mafia group and their dumb president are not looking out for the best candidate....they prefer an amenable candidate, like Afari Gyan, to do their bidding

    hmm but will Mahama listen??

  • VOICE OF REASON 9 years ago

    To save Ghanaians from this farce of democracy.Why, in the name of fairplay, must a president who is also contesting the elections choose the EC chairman....this is lunacy and a farce

  • Modernist. 9 years ago

    What about that woman being touted around. We have a woman Chief Justice. If can have a woman E.C., won't it crown it all?
    We want a woman. Ghana needs a woman's face, period - at least, until the time we get a woman presi ...

    Let me qualify that: "We want a woman with bold integrity"

  • Ankomah 9 years ago

    Mahama would be the most stupid & senseless man to appoint this staunch NPP man the EC.His statements & criticisms of government will now give him away.

  • Esi 9 years ago

    So as soon as you criticize government you have to be NPP? Has it ever occurred to you that unlike you some people just want to see the best for the country, irrespective of the government in power?

  • joe t 9 years ago

    Good point

  • Honesty 9 years ago

    In Ghana, when you criticise anyone, you are deemed to automatically belong to his/her rival. This is not news so be objective. Infact, this is the exact attitude of Npp folks.
    Have you being following events lately where a ...

    FOR ONCE APPOINT EXPERIENCED SUCCESSFUL PERSON WITH INTEGRITY NOT NON ACHIEVERS WHO ARE OUT TO MAKE THEIR FIRST MILLION DOLLARS! FOR GHANA'S SAKE JDM

  • Esi 9 years ago

    But if Ayariga, Afriyie Ankrah and co are still in government, that is indication that your words will fall on deaf ears or in the president's own words, "you're talking to a dead goat".

  • Cece Vice 9 years ago

    Typographical error: ** I think it's about time we stop this stupidity and uncivilized behaviors to allow the council of state do it's constitutional mandate. ***

  • Jayden 9 years ago

    Council of state can't be trusted to chose the EC,they've been compromised by the crook.

  • Cece Vice 9 years ago

    If they can't be trusted then go ahead and head the EC since you think you're the most trusted person in Ghana.
    Stupidity at it's best.

    The president is corrupt and cant be trusted ,that is why the public are concerned about the appointment of the new EC.We want to avoid any potential civil war.

    NPP is not in power so everyone else is corrupt. The President and the members of the Council of State are all not fit to perform their constitutional duty. Lets go to war.

  • hased 9 years ago

    Indeed I agree with this suggestion as Dr Akwetey is a credible and remarkable person. He can run the show hence perhaps why he wants to lend his expertise to save Ghana from yet another disaster.

  • hased 9 years ago

    If he does he will not regret his choice.

  • William Dzikunu 9 years ago

    I know Dr. Akwetey about 20 years now he is a good man don't discriminate. He is one of the best personality Ghana can be proud with he deserves everything.
