That idea from Sekou is being practiced right now in some South American countries and Russia. More importantly one term does not mean one cannot come back to compete again after somebody has come after him. So you see Vladimir Putin served as president, one term, as the Russian president, handed over to Dmitry Medvedev, who also served one term, only for Putin to come back again as president after shifting to prime minister. He just flipped and exchanged roles with Medvedev. In Argentina, the president just handed over to his wife with the intent to come back after the wife. He passed away before the wife could finish her term.

Why should Ghana put herself through such shenanigan? The problem with Sekou's idea is, if somebody is messing up with the economy, you want to give the people early enough chance to stop the damage, before it had become permanent or irreversible. A seven-year term could also create such an entrenchment opportunity for an incumbent party, they may corrupt the system to such a point, and you would not be able to change them. No, let's stick to the present system and consider the four years as a half-time period to make some changes or keep with the same players for a second 4-year term.

Both the NDC and NPP have tasted power, so therefore, the often mentioned argument that a new government wastes about a whole year to get its players in position and shape, is an excuse for tardiness. An opposition party should have its shadow ministers in position to spring into action as soon as they are given the mandate to rule. A president shouldn't waste his/her first year filling all national, regional and district positions as well as filling boards of corporations with his cronies. We should elect directly all MMDCEs as well as Regional ministers. No more the cronyism of filling 30 % of district assemblies with president appointees. That is how we waste a whole year trying to set up and get a government going.

Fake leaders claim thrones without building kingdoms as pepeni has done by murdering mills . today there is another divide and that is the north south whereby these Muslims think its their god given right to plunder and oppress the Akans. Just as pharaoh had pestilence after pestilence , no water , no electricity , no infrastructure , no development, chinese locusts poisoning our lands and waters ,corruption and death everywhere and the people suffer. they are blind to see the will of God and in their selfish fantasies think its a right or their turn to pillage the coffers . they send their chariots or special police and army to try in put fear in the children of God the Akans . we are told their plan is to start shooting first and again blame the Akans so we must now prepare and make sure when they do not a single one leaves alive . we number millions and can never be defeated by your mischievous fools . THe lord has promised us freedom and nobody with their trickery and biased toilet carrying pepeni judges can stop it.It is time to take the children to the villages and prepare to defend ourselves against this evil pepeni , long live the republic of Akan

Sekou, have you tasked your ignorant brain to justify why the stealers in power now should be allowed to dry-rape Ghana unhindered for 7 continuous years ?

And can you envisage what will become of Maaaame/Daaaavi Ghana after 7 continuous years of Woyomegate,GYEEDAgate,ISOFOTONgate,SADAgate e.t.c.?

The people cannot take seven years of stealing and visionless leadership. If the game will be sweet, it will show from the beginning, not in seven years. Let someone go and another come.

I would also suggest that from the President right down to the last District Chief Executive should declare their assets the moment they are elected and appointed. The Speaker of Parliament, and all MPS should do the same.The Directors of the various ministries, heads of government agencies, The Inspector General of Police and his Commanders in the various Regions, The Chief of Staff, Army, Navy, Air Force Commanders should all declare their assets and deposited with the Auditor General, and updated every four years. The Chairmen/Women & General Secretaries of the various Parties should do the same, and updated every four years so that any unreasonable acquisition would have to be justified. The Chief Justice, Supreme Court Justices, Appeals Court Justices, High Court Judges, Circuit Court judges, and Magistrates in the Districts should all do the same.

That is a LIE

In Russia the president can be RE-elected after his 6 year term. What happened in Russia was Putin trying to avoid the law by having a puppet in office, so he could return as President and change the law, which allowed him to be re-elected again and to prolong his term in office. Corruption and misuse of power, that is all. Prior to Medvedev, Putin had spent 2 terms in office, just as former president Jeltsin

In Argentina, the term in office is 4 years just as in Ghana, and yes renewable!

No country practice what this kwasia is proposing.

I find that four years in office could be longer, perhaps 5 like in France. That would give the person in office better time to learn how to be a president. In the US it is said that it takes 2 years to get to know the system. When those 2 years are done people begin to talk election. But if a president did not have the possibility to be reelected, why do anything good for the country? He would not be rewarded.

NDC goons are running away to other countries not because they are fearful of any wars or mayhem after the supreme court verdict but simply because as soon as Nana is crowned Ghana's president, they will all be going straight to jail where they will spend the rest of their lives there forgetting so well that the international criminal justices will assist in bringing them back to base. Okudjeto Ablakwa is running away, Betty Mould idrissu is running away, Asiedu nkatia is running, Yaw Boateng Gyan, Afari Gyan, Otukonor, Fiifi Kwatey, jon nkomfem mahama and all of them can run but they can't hide.

Don't be stupid, stop dreaming, don't follow blindly and be objective for once, Stop being swayed by non profitable politics where you do the fight and waist all you time to make noise and at the end of the day only a handful of your party leaders reap the result. The worst of it, is that they don't even know you let alone recognizing you. Now they are looking for safe place for their family. Be wise and let's accept whatever verdict reached by supreme court.
Note: We can never have 100% free and fair any where in the world. not even USA, so once international observers accept the result to be free and fair, we must also accept it like that.

Any straight-headed fellow who is honest could use effectively ONLY four years to attain his target; a foolish leader would use his whole life without achieving anything. 19 years of JJR and the corruption didn't stop. Kufuor as a person became president to embark on unprecedented predatory as a professional thief, and for 8 years only junketed about while his stealing syndicate just scooped everything including people's wives.

I, for one side with his proposal. Ghana and for that matter the rest of Africa should not practice democracy EXACTLY as our colonial masters do because 1) We are not economically self-sufficient to run an election every 4 years. All that cost in running an election could be directed to fixing our bad roads, for example. 2) As far as looting state coffers is concerned, we must devise measures such as assets declaration before and after office and make this policy work! 3) We should modify democracy to fit our economical and social environment and not just copy and paste...this is what is killing us in Ghana in particular, not just political terms but anything from the West. We don't have the necessary infrastructures, but insisting on running things like the West such as online courses when internet connectivity would just suddenly cut off...or electricity goes out w/o any warning. Ask anyone in the U.S or U.K when the last time was when there was lights-off?...probably just a reset once every God knows when!
Running elections every 4 years as the West does is NOT economically wise for us to simply copy. Sekou Nkrumah is not sick or mad. His proposal is ideal for a young and novice practicing democratic country like Ghana.

According to the last son of Ghana’s first president Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, such a system will give presidents and their governments enough time to roll out and implement their policies.
.......................................................................................................................................................

The idea that if presidents of Ghana are given seven years, they can "roll out and implement their policies" is shallow.

Why seven years and not eight or nine or ten years?

Ghanaians must understand that "the Government" as an institution NEVER ends. We change the players but Ghana Government continues.

If one batch of elected people finish their term of elected office, another is elected to continue where that batch left off.

WE MUST STOP TREATING "THE LAST GOVERNMENT" AS IF IT WAS NOT PUT IN PLACE BY GHANAIANS.

NEW GOVERNMENTS MUST ALSO STOP ABANDONING THE PROJECTS OF PREVIOUS GOVERNMENTS SIMPLY BECAUSE MEMBERS OF THOSE PREVIOUS GOVERNMENTS ARE IDEOLOGICALLY DIFFERENT FROM THE NEW GOVERNMENT.

Once we see the concept of "Government" as a continuous institution, the call for seven or longer years will become irrelevant.

A Chinese panda at a Galamaxay site walks into a bar, sits down and orders Fufu and Palm soup. He eats the Fufu and Palm soup, pulls out a gun and shoots the Ghana waiter dead.

As the panda stands up to go, the bartender shouts, "Hey! Where are you going? You just shot my waiter and you didn't pay for your Fufu and Palm soup!"

The panda yells back at the bartender, "Hey, I'm a PANDA! Look it up!" The bartender opens his dictionary and sees the following definition for panda:

"A tree dwelling marsupial of Asian orgin, characterized by distinct black and white coloring. Eats shoots and leaves and does not believe in non renewable terms.

So if the president has messed up the economy after several years we still have to wait till the seven term is finished before he get a sack? fool. Given shorter terms is better for the country than longer terms. Infact it should be 2 years. so that it will force our leaders to wake their lazy asses and do some work.

This is a good idea that has been discussed elsewhere in the world. Instead of the president spending time and plotting his reelection, I will propose a 6 year term. To hold the president accountable, I will also propose that members of parliament be elected for one 6 year term like the president with half of them facing relection during the third year of the president (mid-term). This will make all the parties responsible and accountable to the electorate. The thought of the president losing his majority in parliament during his mid term is enough to stop the political gamesmanship.

Mr. Benton please give credit where credit is due. If u think what Dr. Sekou is saying is stupid please say so without getting our late president Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah in this issue. What kind of person are u to even title your nonsense" Like father like son"? What do u know about Dr. Nkrumah.? Do u know your history as a Ghanaian or African at all? A leader who said" The independence of his country is meaningless unless it is link up with the total liberation of ALL AFRICAN STATES. True to these potent words, this leader struggled and helped many African countries in attaining their independence. With all the love he had for his country and sub-region as a whole, and the chance he had at that time he still died as a pauper. Indeed, you have hurt my feelings for putting up those words over this medium. By the way, do you know that even upon his death, he was still voted for the Millenium award by the BBC? Visit any high class College in the World and I bet you you will find very nice statements, articles and even books about our former President and I think that should make you and me proud!!!!

"Dr. Sekou Nkrumah says the current dispensation of four-year renewable terms does not bode well for Ghana’s democracy and development". If you do a good job, the people will vote you back after 4 years..if not, you've got to go. Given the current conditions in Ghana now, do you see a bright future for the nation if nothing changes? At least within 4 years, people should be confident enough to predict what the next 4 would be based on what was done/achieved in the first 4. Almost a year gone in our case..let's start counting the progress that has been achieved. Things that were in place have been scrapped and what we see are people lining their pockets with no oversight because the top is doing thesame. 7 years? No way. Greatness is not realized in the last days..what you do now, propels you there in future.
