Apuuuuu.Sam Okudzeto was here in this country when the Constitution was being drawn up.People of his sort refused to take part in deliberations.What is he talking about now? When the wise refuse to take in deliberations, they end up living under rules made by fools.He should forever hold his peace.

I think Sam Okudzeto should run for the office of the President if he wants certain powers. He can then turn round and relegate those powers to the council of state, if it so pleases him. Who wants to be ruled by the decisions of a bunch of "faceless ceremonial appointees"?

How can un-elected Council of State have more power than an elected President in a democracy?

Mr. Okudzeto, please turn down the offer to serve on the council to prove you mean business and want to be taken seriously. Or maybe when the time comes you will refuse to step down and go to court?

Mr Sam Okudjeto is one of the men who thinks deep before uttering a word.Some countries who have the council of states have some sort of powers that make them more recognizable than the JJs type in Ghana which is just a rubber stamp for the sitting president,and for this reason, President Akufo Addo may not want to change the status quo else, the political ellites may call him a rebel.It would be better rather to pass it through the National Assembly for discussion and approved by the president.

It's sadden my heart when we heard people like Sam Okudzeto speaks like the way he is speaking to this issue. Already, describing people are rascals whilst his own party men "invincible" are not rascals. Ooooh Papa Okudzeto respect yourself and your family. Where were you, when you and your Cohorts decided not to participate in the drafting of the 1992 Constitution? Why all these? Again, respect yourself at least and don't look stupid.

If he doesn't respect himself like you wish what can you do?? Slap him? Insult him ? Or even kill him?? Don't blame the man for your obvious pain. He holds no allegiance to any party

@Jeffrey, remember the speaker of parliament is also not elected but he weals powers. Don't also forget that the chief justice and the electoral commissioner are also not elected. U don't have to be elected in order to weal powers. For me two things are obvious; either we give the council of state some powers or scrap it from the constitution.

Okudzeto must learn to shut his mouth. When the constitution was being drafted, the GBA refused to participate. It was butchers and hairdressers who devoted themselves to the exercise.

These are some of the old fools who hates people without a reason What has Rawling done to Sam Okudzeto.
If he accepts the post of the Council of State then he is a big fool .

Then get out of there. You should have rejected the appointment to prove your point but you sheepishly accept it to go and enjoy the goodies. What have you said about all the human right abuses going on today? greedy old man.

FROM ALL INDICATIONS, GHANAIANS DO NOT HAVE ANY TRUST IN THE CCOUNCIL OF STATE. I DO SUPPORT THE CALLS FOR THE COUNCIL TO BE ABOLISHED. LET US PUT THOSE NOMINATED TO ANOTHER USE THAT WOULD BENEFIT US MORE OR BETTER.
