The president will next summon your mother and father to sweep the gutters of Sodom and Gomorrah for free without any challenge or checks. That is what a president who does not rule by the laws of the land tends to do.

I fell deeply sorry for Ghanaian citizens. We are being led by a party with bunch of fools. Some MP's and party leaders to foot soldiers and supporters, I cannot imagine a man with brains would make such a comment publicly. And he has the audacity to ask a Ghanaian citizen "why don't you leave the country?" All this people are making noise on political platform. Poor Ghanama.

Mahama really needs good advisors. How on earth can this woman whose daily prayer is insults? She has proven not to have respect for anybody,including former presidnt Kuffour and Nana Konadu. If Mahama really wants to heal wounds, especially between the party and the Rawlingses, he should have thought twice before such appointments.

Does this President knows what he is doing? Does he think Ghana belong to him and can do whatever he thinks? What kind of president is this. Mr President ever since swearing in there had been numerous problems from rigging of votes, the Gold scandals, the gays etc. The list goes on and on. There is no single that you dont creat problems for Ghanaians. Why. Why.Why. I mean you cannot rule a country like this. If your Pillow Case doesn't work properly change it as it seems it doesn't open up your brain right to think straight; not too much sex during the week and grapp a coffee every morning before the start of your day to wake you up as it seems you are dizzy resulting in bad decisions which aren't good for the country. You must also be very careful with your advisers as some of them may not be good to help you out, that is why these problems continue to build up. If however, the advice given is not taken then Mr President you are finished

It's interesting The President ignored Parliament if the rule of the game says his appointees to the Council of State should be vetted by the Appointments Committee for approval. Did the last appointees under Mills appear before the Appointments Committees of Parliament? I never hear or read anything of that sort (though that does not mean it did not happen).

One may ask why the minority would complain about this omission when they say they would boycott the vetting of the President's appointees? Will they have taken part in the vetting had they appeared before the Appointments Committee? It seems they want to eat their cake and still have it.

How many of them are able to speak in parliament and in public? They are only there for their fat salaries which they all united to approve. Don't be fooled young man.

If you have acquired enough experience in addition to the degrees, then feel free to come and help build the nation. Either than that, we will encourage you to continue living in the states and send money home regularly because all the politicians are the same.

Below is the const'nal provisions on appting the members of the Council of state. It is clear President Mahama goofed seriously in meeting the requirements of those provisions. For me, even going on to foist that goat and impostor Agboba on the VR as a member clearly indicates that Mahama is showing serious and debilating lack of sane judgement and he must be told and reined in by all sane who think they know better people.

--------------------------
Article 89 of the constitution of Ghana;
(1) There shall be a Council of State to counsel the President in the performance of his functions.
(2) The Council of State shall consist of -

(i) one person who has previously held the office of Chief Justice;
(ii)one person who has previously held the office of Chief of Defence Staff of the Armed Forces of Ghana;
(ii) one person who has previously held the office of Inspector General of Police
(b) The President of the National House of Chiefs;
(c) one representative from each region of Ghana elected, in accordance with regulations made by Electoral Commission under article 51of this Constitution, by an electoral college comprising two representatives from each of the districts in the regions nominated by the District Assemblies in the regions; and
(d) eleven other members appointed by the President.
(3) The Council of State shall elect a Chairman from among its members.
