Das rite
There should also be provision for a vote of no confidence to remove a corrupt and none performing president from office.
Yes. We can't have another Akuffo Addo doing 10 years, inflicting pain unto Ghanaians.
This is a non-starter. Leave the 4 year term alone. A terrible person like Akufo Addo for 10 years scare every atom of my being. The CRC have done Ghana given Ghana the short end of the stick.
Foolish proposal from the committee. This report should be torn into pieces and burnt with immediate effect. This shouldn’t be entertained.
Hello youth of Ghana. You can take your own life with medicine........for instance 15 paracetamol at once.........or combine medicine and akpeteshie or weedicide.
May your children and family members never see peace
From a Mahamalike president's point of view,it's a good thing,but remember there can and will always be an Akufo Addo kind of president in the distant future,and imagine if such a person is to rule for ten years(people will s ...

Yes, imagine another Akuffo Addo now getting two additional years to wreak havoc. This part of the review we will not accept. It is elitist and an affront to democracy. Where is our power to remove a president? We rather need ...

@Prince *KWASIA* Adade, please show me where in the civilized world you will find anyone digging an empty hole with the whopping sum of $97 million dollars
Simply move the elections to early November, let the new president have approval for ministers before taking office and let the 4years remain
Agreed. If there are settling-in challenges with the 4 year term, fix the challenges. Do not increase the length of the term. This is reprogressive. Lowers governance efficiency.
Governments should aim to do more in less ti ...

Correction: Read "retrogressive" not reprogressive.

MASA CALL A SPADE A SPADE. NOBODY INTENDED TO DIG A WHOLE. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ONE OF IT'S KIND IN AFRICA, BUT ABLAKWAH WON'T LET SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY.
It’s an empty hole because you don’t have any knowledge about building construction. Keep on deceiving your gullible NDC footsoldiers.
Get lost this got nothing to do with the peace in Ghana
Nonsense! Even the great America is four year term
Hey, America is not so great !
LISTEN TO THIS HOME NIGGER- WHO IS AMERICA: ? DO EAT FROM AMERICA ? DOES AMERICA SUFFER WITH US WHEN AKUFO ADDO WAS MALTREATING US ALL THESE 8YEARS: IDIOTIC HOME NIGGER LIKE YOU
No, the USA rather suffered when Efo Jeremiah Julor Rawlings murdered, killed, and tortured innocent people during his wicked, evil, and despotic regimes. I am glad that he was killed by Covid which is invisible.
HAHAHHA: YOU ARE RIGHT THERE- AS FOR MAHAMA, HE CAN GO BEYOUNG 5- BUT IF WE ARE NOT LUCKY TO GET SOMEONE LIKE AKUFO ADDO- KYEAIIIIIIII WE FUNISHED:
LETS CHANGE IT BACK TO 4 YEARS AFTER MAHAMA COMPLETE HIS 5YRS:
Jimmy’s Charter compare Nana Addo achievement with Mahama who took bribes like ford cars, and Airbus. Tell me one bribe Akuffo Addo was accused of?
During Mahama Atta Mills terms was there any Covid 19? Nana Addo took over from Mahama who had already took Ghana to IMF. Not withstand Covid economy Nana Addo give 5.8million Ghanaian free SHS education.
You are a cult follower of NPP and your small brain is infested with partisan feaces
But Akuffo Addo was not involved in any Aircraft purchase scandal. Akuffo Addo did not introduce Galamsay. Mahama introduced and promoted it. This Mahama Pig needs to be kicked off the Presidential Screen. And we don’t want ...

The 276 MPs shd also be reviewed downwards . I expect 150 MPs to be the maximum limit.
I submitted a similar request to the committee. I agree we do not need 276 MPs. I also suggested that MPs should be allowed to generate financial implication bills. At the moment only the president can do that.
We do not need mostly empty 16 region either. It was just a corrupt way to keep party boys employed.
Agreed. For example Ashanti Region should have 9 seats. That will reduce the number of MPs
I agree with you. Now that their own Parliament TV has exposed them for their childish bickering, senseless opposition, violent hooliganism, frequent renovation of furniture and interior decor, their internal failure to put i ...

stop making everything political. This has nothing to do with Akuffo Addo.
Fool. What do you mean by political? Is that shit not based on the fact that these thieves want to make Mahama stay on so they can steal
Steal ? Where were you when all the presidents were stealing, except Mills. ?
Hahahaha, so apart from Mills, can we now say that Efo Julor Jeremiah Rawlings also stole from Ghana? Yes I mean the thief who had no furniture even as a Presidential Pilot and he and his family left office as one of the rich ...

Left to me alone there should be a referendum a year to that five years if the people will like to continue or asking for general elections at the end of the first five years.
5 year time is right starting with Mahama instead of 3rd term.
Wrong. 4 years is enough.
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.?

Just imagine giving Akkufo-Addo 5 years to be president of Ghana. The country would be deep in the Atlantic ocean. No 5-year term. The 4-year term is more than enough.
no 5yrs term.
meaningless and totally unnecessary. What's wrong with a four year term and the possibility of being in office for two terms? There's no justification for jumping into a five years term.
