There is a place where you can be sure that you would find a representative (MP) from every part of Ghana year round gathered together to deliberate on the future and the current state of this country. Where is that? Parliament house of course. If there is such a place then how should the place and the people there be treated in the scheme of things? What priority should such the house be given in the governance of the country? If there is such a place then what kind of people should we send there and how should we assess their performance?

After winning an election a newly elected Parliamentarian must leave his constituency and come to Accra the National capital to represent his constituency while at the same time providing feedback to his constituents. Parliament must also provide a readily available renovated residence to a newly elected parliamentarian. Accommodation in Accra is expensive and not every newly elected parliamentarian will have the money to rent a home in the national capital as the MP-elect may have exhausted all his or her funds running for office.

In the load shedding exercise it is imperative that some key areas be left out. This should include where the three arms of government work and reside like Sakumono where MPs (representatives) reside and flag staff house and osu castle where the President works and resides. Where the chief justice works and resides should also be included. It should also include the premises of key government institutions like ministries.We need to quadruple our electricity production within the next four years but not through foreign investors.

narrow minded northern and ewe tribalism have caused them to select appointees not based on competence and merit rather on who is my closer friend or who will not betray me . this group of liars and worthless criminals are just too busy being corrupt only for themselves and have no real duty to SERVE the interests of the nation or people . we witness the gradual disintegration of the institutions of state into corruption and with them the disappearance of the country is only a matter of time . these shameless individuals believe all they need to do is bullshit the people with propaganda the focuses on blaming the innocent be it the opposition , the Akans , external enemy forces and when that fails its now up to juju , voodoo or some other crazy foolish excuse . i say to them why dont they go and fire all the doctors , teachers etc as these troublesome groups want more money and replace them with herdsmen , latrine carriers , schoolboys so they can all learn on the job , it doesnt matter that the patients die in the meantime or as it is in the case of the govt nothing functions or reasonable lucid transparent decisions can not be taken . Common sense and an observant mind can only conclude Mahama is lucky they are only insulting him now , as when the insults , complaining and wailing stops it will only mean there is a firm decision to get rid of him and his corrupt selfish cronies in a bloody uprising . i predict he can continue in this hazardous manner just another few months until everyone is fed up with him and says its time to save the future for our children .its not a curse or juju , its just bad decisions and no true love for the people of this country .

I hope they will come back with a change of heart to act more than talk.
Mere words are not power and strategy for war.
Ghana has become a lawless country,of late.With all the stories in the news about corruption and judgement debts.
Parliament needs to OVERHAUL the Queen Victoria era criminal code and impose SEVERE fines and prison terms to combat corruption.For it is becoming part and parcel of Ghanaian life.
And the rampant Judgement Debts.You mean all the good lawyers that we have cannot write contracts to forestall all these indiscriminate abrogations of valid and binding agreements?
It is very appalling when all the payments could have provided modern classroom blocks to the children schooling under trees at the mercy of vagaries of the weather, bird droppings and lizard/squirrel waste.

Warning to the MP's. Do not boycott important national issues, Do not abstain from business meetings. Do not sleep in your comfortable seats when Parliament is in session.

Judgment and posterity awaits you all.
