"In conclusion, the President’s power to appoint the Chairman and Members of the EC is merely a ministerial one. The substantive power of appointment is assigned to the Council of State. The President shall act on the advice of the Council of State means the President is barred from the nomination, vetting and selection process. Those who framed the Constitution were keenly aware of the impropriety inherent in allowing the President, a political player, to play a critical role in selecting the political referee. Nevertheless, out of deference for the office of the President, the framers allowed him, as the Chief Executive Officer, the honour of “appointing” the candidate selected by the Council of State. In this case, all the President is required to do is to issue the appointment letter under the Presidential seal but no more. "

I have had occasion to point the same concerns out to Ghanaweb several times in the past.

In this case we are even lucky that names were randomly bandied about. Sometimes names are not mentioned at all.

Committee everywhere. Because you are exiting office does not mean setting up fake committee to increase salaries for these people while denying other Ghanaians increase in salary.

This committee should note very well that any further increases in salaries without corresponding increase in the salaries of workers will spark controvercies.

What is Article 71? Who are the Article 71 office holders? What is the background/experience of the individual members of the committee that would justify their inclusion? When is their report/recommendation due?
