    There is no correlation between long term in power and development in Sub Sahara Africa. Elsewhere in Asia, including Russia long periods for their leaders is proving effective.

    The problem with Kuffuor is that he spent the greater part of his four years travelling. If he had stayed at home to work, the four years would have been enough.
