U think we are democratic, Is it not whom U know, survival of the fittest, the law of the jungle?
Wait till U get a case against a big king like Asante Hene or the president or even a "big" businessman. Governance in Ghana is like master slave, they treat us worse than the colonial master. Why should our God given lands belong to one man(king)? We accept it because we have been slaves for so long.
Ghana is a lawless country(no justice) and can't be said to be democratic.

Blame slick John Mahama and his notorious nation wreckers NDC officials. A nation embedded in looting and stealing by it's leaders with impunity can not be really described as democracy. And that was exactly what the world saw under slick John Mahama and his notorious NDC government.
How could NDC government thought of setting aside $250 million ut of about $700 million loan from IMF in a secrete bank in Nigeria without informing parliament? When they were caught, slick John Mahama and his NDC had many reasons for that. They tried to steal, they were exposed by Dr. Bawumia. Think of Woyome looting and no government officials who signed the check for Woyome were not prosecuted. How can you describe suchunlawful practices in government system as democracy?
If Ghana's democracy is receiving low marks, blame slick John Mahama and his NDC looting and stealing bridgade, who have plunged and sunk Ghana's image so low at the bottom of the valley.
It is my hope that whatever that NDC has destroyed will be restored by President Nana Akuffo Addo and his NPP government. Let us all pray for this government. I know that notorious and satanic NDC is praying for their failure, but NPP has good intentions and thoughts for our Ghana, God will help them deliver successfully for our nation.
Nana and his NPP government should not rest until all NDC stealings and lootings are exposed. We don't need exaggerations. We don't need witch hunt. We need only the truth. If we allow NDC thieves to get away with all what they have stolen from Ghana, Ghana will never succeed in our development. Once these NDC thieves are exposed and prosecuted, long jail sentences must be handed to them. Rawlings even support investigating these NDC thieves who have plunged our country down the hills.
Ghanaians should not loose hope, for democracy is not taken ten years to build. We shall build a better and successful democracy. Ghanaians should bury NDC forever. If any party will come to power apart from NPP, it should not be NDC. All NDC officials are theieves and corrupt. They have no good thoughts about Ghana. It is all about them. We should avoid voting these evil and sadistic men into power again.They don't care.

That Ghana is a 'flawed democracy' is no news. It has long been identified as such. That is why former President Obama of the USA admonished us to strengthen our Institutions that are supposed to hold up the democracy. But did take heed? No! The very folks who are supposed to lead us in strengthening those Institutions are the very ones who are taking undue advantage of their weaknesses to our detriment. They have no patriotic interests to fix the problem, every parochial personal interest to maintain the status quo. These non-performing leaders include our MPs, the Executive and the Judiciary. Plain and simple!
Marching hand-in-hand with that flawed governance paradigm is also our deeply flawed 'Capitalist' system. And once again, our weak Institutions are to blame for that.
It has been noted on many occasions by reputable patriots that our flawed 'Capitalist' system tends to hurt the majority of our Citizens more than even a Communist system would. That is because it deepens and widens the chasm between the poor and the wealthy few more and more, and persistently denies the majority the opportunities a normal and healthy Capitalist system could offer.
The trend is increasing for the only way any poor Citizen could change his or her economic status quo would have to either be winning a big lottery, inherit a huge asset, or break the law to grab at some shielded opportunity, or steal.
Our 'flawed democracy' imposes on us the growing burden of corruption and inequality. People are losing faith in the system and inclined to distrust our Politicians more and more, as the latter keep taking undue advantage of their positions to loot our coffers without penalties.
The pseudo-liberal economic atmosphere with the needless, redundant overemphasis on Property owning, which doesn't have to conform to any sensible laws we have on our books, allows only the well-connected and powerful to seize most of our wealth-making opportunities to themselves.
No wonder even import licenses, for instance, are restricted to a few who then choose to impose their own excessive prices other than what the market would have set for imported goods. People have fewer choices among goods and have to live with whatever is available. Our Banks do not even open access to all who would normally qualify for credit to embark upon new and expanded ventures. And interest rate is skyrocketing.
Our Procurement system for example, is vulnerable to sole-sourcing and at the mercy of those in charge. It is increasingly harder to start a new business, and many small to medium existing businesses have to tread perilous maze of paths to keep alive. Growth is, thus, very scanty to nil in most ventures in our 'Capitalist' system. And the unemployment keeps rising exponentially.
On the other hand, it could take only overnight for the crooked powerful and their cronies to set up a Business that would be awarded Government contracts worth millions of dollars, and sometimes paid without doing anything.
We have recorded examples of humongous Business deals worth billions that such cronies of the most powerful benefited from without spending any capital of their own, or incurring any expenditure of their own.
Meanwhile, for lack of institutional checks and balances, revenues so dubiously acquired find their way into safe havens abroad, where their re-investment into our system is most unlikely, and the ordinary Citizens never get any real value from those deals.
How much worse could our democracy get! We barely exercise our democracy beyond free and fair elections. The only freedom the democracy seems to guarantee is that of the powerful to loot us.
Long Live Ghana!!!
