Well done Bawumia. For your information, Adenta Dodowa Road construction has started. Demolition work is going on. We the people on that stretch will be relieved from traffic soon.

So why are you thanking Bawumia for the construction of road in your area? The man said he is only a mate not the driver.

You are a complete illiterate to understand the learned lawyer. It is illegal to a driver’s mate to drive without a license. But the Vice President can act as president anytime the president leaves the country or is incapacitated because he is qualified to be president.

@DR TRUTH,if most mates drive the cars too,then ur Bawumia has no case, bottom line is,he also drove the car too,if it has somersaulted and gotten destroyed,he and the driver are both responsible.But use your brains,A president and his vice and a driver and his mate are incomparable,so Bawumia's analogy stinks,A president and his vice are someone and his deputy(Next after him),Driver and mate are a master and his boy,When president is not around or unwell,Vice president automatically assumes the responsibility of a president,When a driver is not there,mostly mate don't have any right to touch the car or are not allowed to,Have u noticed the difference?So a vice president is an assistant driver(Specifically assigned to takeover when the main driver can't drive for whatever reason),maybe cabinet ministers can rather be referred as the mates.Use a pilot(Driver),his assistant pilots(Deputy driver) and flight attendance(Mates) to help u understand well.You see Bawumia being the second pilot can never be reffered to as a flight attendant or mate?

Srem Sai obviously doesn't know the job of a mate. In the absence of the driver, the mate apprentice drives, after being given the opportunity to learn the trade parking the car, driving the car after work, etc.

Another dumb foreigner....how did he strengthen this dumb lawyers argument....ask yourself, what's the difference between a mate and a second driver. Sram sai...has lost touch with reality...how can he even say a mate doesn't drive, does not own a driver's license. What is the aim of a mate? There are no second drivers, just drivers n mates. Come again...how can a Harvard graduate be so dumb? No street knowledge.

Sometimes, if not most of the time, a foreigner/alien is savvier than a native whose horizon is limited to his/her immediate surroundings. Such native is likely to describe a foreigner as a foolish, because the latter's field of knowledge and experience is out of reach of the native.
FYI: a driver's mate, whose job is not that of a co-drive. does the following:
- Assisting the driver with deliveries;
- May be required to take and assemble products for customers;
- Assisting the driver on up to 30 deliveries per day;
- Loading and unloading vehicles; ....
- Picking stock and loading it onto you assigned vehicle prior to the start of your day....
A driver's mate can become a driver when he learns to drive and gets a driver's license.
In conclusion, a vice-president is neither a First lady/gentleman nor a staff member in the Jubilee House, not even a Press Secretary. Constitutionally, a vice-president takes over the role of the president when the latter is absent or incapacitated.

Mr Lawyer, Bawumia used the driver-mate analogy literally to mean he’s learning on the trade and that he has no executive power, in other words he has acquired learners permit. So going by your logic, one may ask why should the VP be sworn in as the president if the president passes on, even though both took an oath of their respective office.

OK, you bought a van for a driver to use as tro-tro. You asked the driver to pick his or her own mate. For eight years, they have been running the van but no profit. Everyday there's a complaint, this is spoilt and that is spoilt and so you decide to change the driver, who is the master, and look for another one. The mate comes to you the owner to say he can be a better master and so give him the van. After eight years the mate and his master couldn't make profit and now he says he wants to be the master. Will you give him the car and make him the new master?

Where is the literature that spells out what a president must know for which reason Srem-Sai is claiming the president and/or vice must know from scratch how to perform presidential roles?
And who told Srem-Sai that drivers' mates are supposedly licenseless? Let us examine these people and know where they are coming from before we listen to them! Renowned private legal practitioner indeed!

You call yourself a lawyer or judge and you don't understand the common sense illustration of the vice president comparing his position to a driver's mate?
When did we start marking the performances of our vice presidents? From Ekow Nkansah Akaa to Paa Kwasi Amisah Arthur, Ghanaians were not interested in the duties or powers of the vice president. The competency and the resilience of Dr Bawumia has made the people awake and begging to show interest in the work of the vice president.
If you say he is the president if the president travels doesn't change the truth he said. What about if the president doesn't travel, how many weeks or months does the president spend on his trip and is it enough for the vice to make important decisions during that time. In fact per common sense you will even consult your master even though he has traveled on critical and vital decisions.
In the absence of both the president and the vice, the speaker of parliament also automatically becomes the president. Some have happened before in Ghana. Can you tell me a landslide decision which the speakers have made?
You said a mate cannot drive and is not true. Some mates drive very well only that they may not have a license or authority and is exactly what Bawumia illustrated.
He is a mate but can drive well when the need arises so give him license and that is the point he made

All this people called themselves lawyers? No wonder they are always accusing judges. How can a whole lawyer talk like this? Did you really examine your conscience before writing this non fa? You see, a fool contributes nothing worth hearing and takes offence at everything. I don't know why the notorious dirty criminals in short ndc are scared of Dr Bawumia, Dr Digital. Dr Bawumia's vision yesterday was fantastic and it has sent shivers into the spines of the ndc. Dr Bawumia is our incoming president. Praise the Lord.
