Evil people are wicked fools who always create generational curses for their next generations to suffer. The only best solution to the development of Ghana and or any other poor nation is abolish the practice of "Political Appointments" and ensure that all top government officials are elected by votes to give all good citizens the right to head any government institution rather than allowing political appointment to continue destroying society by thefts, corruption and conspiracies. When fools lead they only try to make citizens or society become ignorant, so they cannot understand what government means or is about. Government is not about politics and it is for politicians but for citizens; "we the people (The 99% and not the 1%)". I am Prophet Professor Prince Awuah David (aka Divine Ninja of America)

Wherever more than 50% of the society are fools, the society lives in poverty and is under constant slavery, because intelligence is of the key attributes of National PRIDE (Patriotism, Readiness, Intelligence, Discipline & Efficiency) that develops any nation. Instead of abolishing the practice of "Political Appointments" and amending the constitution to ensure that all heads of public entities are elected by votes, some selfish greedy wicked ones want to extend the years of presidential terms to 5 years which I strongly believe will further promote corruption and massive thefts that will ruin the nation forever. Are the law makers in parliament proving to be dumb in understanding that ending the practice of "Political Appointments" is the best way to allow a genuine democracy to expedite progress in Ghana? Political Appointments (One leader choosing many in society to lead) is the real threat to democracy (many in society choosing one leader), because political denies most citizens, over 99% the chance to head public entities and that creates corruption and conspiracies with cycles of poverty and no progress in society but slavery by the developed nations.

I was beside myself with rage when the members of that so-called Review Committee was announced earlier in the year. How can any serious progressive govt include reactionary neocolonial elements like Prempeh and Karikari in its affairs? If we continue to limit the periods of governance for rare capable politicians like the one in power now, it only goes, by default, to give equal opportunity to the Akuffo Addo type of pretenders and kleptomaniacs to sneak into the fray to massively loot the state for four or five years or double that period. Prempeh claims that the committee did not recieve any demands or requests for third term Presidents? Of course they wouldn't, would they? Indeed nobody who has the genuine interest for the rapid development of the nation at heart, would even bother contacting such characters for any purpose.
To limit the number of terms for candidates as well as for voters, suggests the those who framed the constitution do not respect the intelligence of voters and their ability to vote sensibly.

A four year term with strong institutions are enough for any good president. We don’t need any long term empty-headed president. Rawlings ruled for 19 uninterrupted solid years, with nothing spectacular to show for all these wasted years. Ghana’s total nominal GDP at the time he illegally seized power from Limann in 1981, was US$4.222billion, with a per capita GDP of US$343.80. When he (Rawlings) grudgingly left power in 2000, the total nominal GDP was only US$4.983billion, an insignificant increase, with a lesser per capita GDP of US$253.70. He killed people, and collapsed private businesses and State Owned Enterprises for nothing.
Let’s focus on depoliticising state institutions and rather strengthen them with competent and experienced leadership and with the requisite resources. Let’s also avoid nepotism, sycophancy and hypocrisy, and allow the laws to work without fear or favour and Ghana will be fine with just a four term of government.

Good suggestion. Sometimes we just copy blindly without any indeph analysis as to what we are copying will serve us well. The 4 year Presidential term (adopted from the U. S. system) is too short a time to get anything done. For a developing country like ours the President needs time to implement his/her policies. What is good for America need not be good for us. We need to have a democratic system which reflects our realities. This brings me to the question whether multi party democracy is applicable in a country like Ghana with diverse ethnic groups and cultures? China has defined its Governance system which is serving them well. We should do the same in Ghana. Ghanaian political scientists, sociologists, cultural anthropologist, economists etc. where are you?

If the amendment is accepted, it can’t take retrospective effect- meaning the current president and parliamentarians can’t enjoy the proposed tenure. In other words, it should take effect from 2028. The 5-year term should not be accepted- because Ghana can’t afford to put with an incompetent president/government for 5 years of failure!

Our constitution should an article to remove a president who is found to be corrupt and inefficient while in power.
If Ghana wants to avoid coup to remove a president, then the constitution must provide means to remove a president. Ghanaians can wait for five years to vote out a non-performing and corrupt government. If the constitution cannot make that provision, then Ghana must stick to the four years presidential term.

What is inside her inside..The so called Apostle LILIAN OWUSU never loved Late John Kumah but only interested in his money. She only cried tears of joy when the man died. The memory of her late husband by her has been thrown into the gutter. MEN please fear women and live long on this earth. Madam LILIAN OWUSU must now down her head in shame. The spirit of the late husband will definitely punish her before she dies for cheating on him with the new husband even when he Mr.kuma was alive.

If the proposed tenure was 3 yrs, would you like it to start with JDM?
The 4-year term is good. No need to change it. A poor workman queries with his tools.
Really, yu want to extend their tenure so they can steal and oppress more. What nonsense is this. Rather put in place a no-confidense provision so we the citizens can remove the office holder during his term.
When npp was in power you didn't want it now it's your turn so you see the double standards
NPP did not do a constitutional review. In any case Ghana will have to vote on it.
12 months is gone, President Mahama shd be going round Inspecting his 24hrs Economy policies by now. Lazy and Useless President he's sitting at Jubilee House receiving needless Constitution Reviews . Ofui President.
Mahama has not said he wants it. He only received a set of proposals from the committee whose chairman is known to harbour sympathy for the NPP.
My friend, where is the double standard? Stop the politicking. Did the dwarf have time to propose such amendment? No, the morron was in the air taking shower with Serwaa Broni.
Lol no insults bro, lets be guilder that the amendment wasnt proposed this year, it was proposed in 2023. Most consitutional reviews tales alot of time within the committee for consultation before its proposed to the govt for ...

The chairman of the committee, Akwasi Prempeh is a known NPP sympathizer, so what's your point?
This is an extention of corruption. America started practicing a four term way back before Ghana but they perform effectively and efficiently. It is all about the mindset and not the number of years.
Ghana is not America.
Stupid. America is the epitome of democracy. The 5 yesr term only leads to coups.
How can you make this comment, do you know the history of America? Use common sense please
.6 years but one term
What if the president was sooo bad during his second year, then what ? We should leave him to stay all 6yrs.
Thank you… Bad leadership that’s why we think the 4 years is not enough. An effective leader can even work with 2years
The recommendation of this review is welcomed. Hope it will take effect immediately to ensure the Mahama really delivers effectively.
May car knock you down
Karma is real, wherever you are, if you really mean it, I sent it back to you. May be knocked by my spiritual car. You be knock and you not see that car
Sensible. Starting 2028.
4 years not enough to loot state money?
It took just 2weeks for John Mahama to make 5 million pounds sterling from the Airbus SE deal.
Sorry I meant Akuffo Addo
There should have been a third term of the four years. But it is good moving on
No way
Just make it 12 years and let's change only the MPS every 4 years plus no exgratia. No MP will go for a third term
RECOMMENDATIONS ARE EFFECTIVE 7TH JANUARY 2029.
Mahama took an oath to be in office for four years. Mahama can implement the recommendations but he is excluded from it by reason of the oath he took.
I hope you understand it is the same constitution being reviewed!
Let’s stick to the 4 years, vote no for the 5 years
Accepted but this must under go referendum. If not then trust me Ghana laws are fake.
The 5yrs term will take effect after 2028 elections.....
Dear God. Why have you forsaken us(Ghana). Where is our Ibrahim Traore.?
LET US VOTE AGAINST A 5-YWAR TERM
We all saw the manipulation of the 2020 election by Akuffo-Addo in securing a 2nd Term and how his 8 years was nightmarish. And the Constitutional Review Committee thinks we can, as a people ...

it will require a referendum

Say that again! Have been wondering how different this is from two terms of 8 years total. If they couldn’t perform in eight years, what’s five years going to do?
Of all the problems in Ghana, what will a five year term do to correct anything. You guys are just cooking up a coup d'état with your foolishness!
But who can even dream of a coup?? Is it those brainless monkeys with bloated hernia from the 38.2% wailers?

7 years one term is the best. There should be opportunity to impeach nonperforming presidents. This will make our leaders sit up and perform.
No Way. Corruption for 5 yrs? They want to finish Ghana completely.

We have to thank God that the term under president Akufo Addo was Four years. We could have been LUMBERED with this useless and hopelessly corrupt government for TEN bloody years. What do you make out of that???
All nations suffered during that problem; thank God we are all alive and stop blaming Akuffo Ado for what was a global catastrophe
What ???
JDM wasn’t recommended to be president for life???
You should go back to the drawing board and come up with something better!!!!
SO NDC WILL GO FOR 14 MORE YEARS BY THE TIME BAWUMIA BECOME PRESIDENT, HE WILL BE OLD. HABAAAAAH GOVERNMENT PLEASE DON'T DO THAT
A bad govt will cause prolonged suffering on Ghanaians.
4 yrs enough for each govt to do its part. BIG NO for 5 yrs
BUT IF AKUFFO ADDO HAD BEEN GIVEN 5YEARS, THE COUNTRY WOULD HAVE BEEN DESTROYED COMPLETELY
All nations suffered during that period and people lost their lives— people were being paid for no work done; your NDC and cpp could not have prevailed that serious global crisis

If you dont achieve anything meaningful in 4 years what will an additional year do in the scheme of things?.

No way! Just consider. A 5 years' 1st term, plus a "5-More for Nana". Can you imagine the countless dead souls under that dangerous and criminal akufo addo politician?
Rather, infuse in Provisions for voters to invoke resignation, within the existing 4 years' 2 terms. Whenever the akufo addo type presidential malfeasance is overly indicative.
