4 years are adequate to evaluate a president and reward him for 4 more years. Not all presidents will be stella. Some of them will tank and no one ones to live under stress ad infinitum.

We have to make sure our leaders understand what is public service. And they are not there to steal.

We need mid-terms elections out of the 4 years to get rid of nonsense in the governance system quickly because in the first 2 weeks you will have a good idea whether the administration will be full of nonsense or not. You don't need 6 years to determine a nonsense administration so mid-term elections is the way to go.
It is a more pragmatic and realistic approach that imposes a sense of responsibility on any incoming gov't and ties in with the directive principles of state policy. Let's be clear once again. Within 2 weeks of an administration taking over the reigns of governance, the indicators of whether it will be a totally nonsense administration is utterly apparent.

Extending presidential term from 4 to 6 years isn't the solution. The constitution which allows any president to leave office with mounting debts, corruption and thievery should be amended or re-written. If an extension is what Abu Sakara is asking for, then he might as well propose or ask for 10 years. Ghanaians are not ready to allow that because it's dangerous to Ghana's progress.

We should be able to remove them if we are not happy with their performance. All politicians all levels incling Assembly men.

You think governance is an experiment for you to waste 2 years to learn on the job. Which of their policies required 2 years to mature?? You should start thinking of what you will do and how you will achieve it right from the campaigning time. By the time, you are sworn, you should be ready to appoint a cabinet in 3 days and get going.

Unfortunately, he was born in the wrong country. Ghanaians have let their natural leadership as the Shining Star of Africa slip away.....instead crooks, thieves, corrupt men and ashawo so women have the say.

The oil contracts they sign. Even 4years the looting is beyond measures for 6years for the kill. After 4 years, if you are good, people shall vote you into power for another 4 so that 48 cannot be missed. N G of 1990. Newt G.

Other mother. German roots. Gingrich. Always into serious unthink of brutilations of other people. Forgive the electrical radioactive attack on your body, as if, when done to USA citizen white by Iran, Rissia or Sadam or Qaddafi, they would had forgetting and forgive. Double approaches and standards in all things. They are better human than the rest of the world, because of money. Silly mentality in God.

For we are now only waking up to the reality - and getting a little bit of your WISDOM. We did not know your thoughts are this many years older than us when we were accusing you of advocating one party blablabla brofo that we learned, nay perfected (though poorly) from our imperialist masters. Now we are only trying to say we need the stability you sought; we now realize it is the only atmosphere under which we can move FORWARD EVER. Our sincere APOLOGIES for taking Ghana and Africa back 50+ (actually 100+) years since 1966. Please, forgive us; we did not know. We were children (of colonialism) (CC aka carbon copies), now we are becoming independent African adults (IAA) and real/original.

Four is enough or you can move. I am sure there are countries which allow their presidents to serve seven or ten years.

4 years is enough! If the government does well within the four years and wins the confidence of the people, it will win the mandate of the people for another term through the ballot. Even, powerful countries like the USA and Britain have term limits of 4 years! And they perform wonderfully well within the four years.

No way. Look at his performance for four years. The worst years for Ghana's development. Even the four years is too much for him, by the way he should not have been there at all, it was a mistake.
