The time between elections and transfer of power to the next government in very short - bare 4 weeks and less than 20 working days because of the holidays. The president should spend the time briefing the transitional team and the next president. Oh, and in the case of John Mahama, and he should also be packing his loot out of the seat of government.

Just tell him since he is suffering from myopia disease and if he may recall that our useless ignorant John Dramani Mahama error president said new King new Law and so he fired all Late Mills appointed ministers and appointees so Nana Ado is a new king and his Laws are different from Mahama laws so why should he work with different laws?Why is it that the useless ignorant Mahama did not kept Mills appointees to work with him and fired them all?All those Mahama appointees were hired to write handover letter and they are not to partner Ado to run his government for Mahama himself said new king,new law.

I don't think Mahama has a plan to come back 2020 to lead the NDC into 2020 elections. If he has, how can he do this and come back in 2020 to convince Ghanaians that he has Ghana at heart? He knows very well that JJ is taking over NDC and he will have no say in the party. His plan now is to move to Dubai and become a multi- international businessman. I did not think such a man could be so wicked to his own country he has led for 6 years.

I have long argued that the decision was in bad taste but the government certainly has the authority to make those appointments. In the least, the outgoing president should have hinted the transition team of its intent. The response by the outgoing administration underlings and spokespersons only make the matter worse when they refer the NPP to the actions of the Kuffour gov't which were roundly condemned. The question is should the gov't change hands again to the NDC, and the NPP does the same thing, will they condemn it?

In Ghana what someone will do and get away with it someone else will do just half of that and face the law. If what is going on now was right when Kufuor did it. What has changed? Those being appointed by Mahama, are they not Ghanaians with the requisite knowledge and qualification? Why should npp cry foul over increase in allowance for service personnel.? No landlord consider anyone as service personnel. He pays similar rent like any other workers. His utility commitments are just like that of any worker. So please stop the noise and let Nana get to work from December 7. I hope he will not take leave of absence a week after assuming duty.

The CHRAJ boss is being rewarded by the defeated president for corruptly exonerating him from any wrong doing in the "Ford Expedition Bribery Scandal". The vehicle that was used by the defeated president as a conduit for transporting millions of dollars of bribe money from Burkina Faso into Ghana for rigging the 2012 elections.

If Mahama was an honest man and a and not trying to hijack the country for NDC, he wouldn't have cannily imposed such a dishonest man on the new administration and Ghanaians, hiding behind technicalities SUCH US "my mandate will only expire on the 6th of January". Mahama and future administrations must be prevented from making sensitive appointments during the transition period.

The president of the United States of America, Mr. Barrack Obama, was prevented from appointing a Supreme Court judge because he didn't have enough mandate to appoint such category of officials in the dying days of his presidency, and that was not even in the transition period.

APROPOS KUFUOR & HIS UNFORGIVABLE TREASON THAT JOHN MAHAMA PAYS BACK: THE SINGLE SPINE INITIATIVE OR THE SALARY INCREASE? NONE SUGGESTS TILL DATE THAT HE DID SO TO COVER HIS TRACKS, UNLIKE MAHAMA PUTTING STOOGES AT THE HELM OF CHRAJ & THE ACCOUNTANT GENERAL'S. I THINK THOSE MAKING COMPARISONS SHOULD BE ASHAMED. IT TELLS ME AFRICANS DESERVE TO BE TREATED LIKE A PIECE OF SHHHHH.....WHEN THEY RENDER APOLOGY TO FOLLY. MAHAMA IS OBSTRUCTING JUSTICE & DOING SO WITH IMPUNITY. I PRAY THE NEW ADMINISTRATION FINDS A WAY AROUND IT.

It wasn't right when Kuffour did it that's why it's not right now. It's the height of stupidity to justify a wrong act with another wrong act that was done in the past. It wouldn't be right when the NPP do it to an incoming NDC government in the future. Let's stop this foolishness now

Mahama has demonstrated beyond reasonable doubt that he is a wicked guy. He wants Nana to fail for him to come back in 2020 but that will never happen. For his wickedness, Nana should investigate his alleged corrupt deals and if found guilty he should be jailed.

How can the confirmation of the appointments of the NDC and CHRIS bosses put spokes in the administration of the new government such that it will affect the delivery of the promises made by Nana Addo? Habba!!!! This should not be used as an excuse, and Ghanaians will never accept any lame excuse in case if non delivery by th NPP. We await the numerous generous welfare packages promised the people, and for which reason they voted for the NPP: Free SHS for all, Reduction in Electricity and Water tariffs, Restoration of Teachers and Nurses training allowances, Reduction in fuel prices and Insurance premiums, Reduction in VAT and other taxes like Corporate taxes, custom duties etc, Abolishing of taxes on all raw materials, One factory for each of the 216 districts, One dam for every village in northern Ghana, Railway line from Takoradi all the way to WA, etc. They raised our expectations to fever high levels, so we wait anxiously for redemption without let. Wonderful and interesting times like ahead of us. God bless our homeland Ghana.
