    Look, commonsense is paramount in whatever steps we humans take. One can be well educated but lacking commonsense, that person cannot lead. NDC is full of such people. They are educated but lack commonsense.

    I MIGRATED FROM GHANA TO UNITED KINGDOM IN SEPT 1994. I BOUGHT £1.00GBP BY THEN FOR 600CEDIS -------- BY 2000 WHEN J J RAWLING WAS LEAVING OFFICE I EXCHANGED EACH £GBP FOR 16800CEDIS. Make your own judgement

    Am sure Australia, Israel and Nepal or TAMIL have taken these steps recently. At least this can produce a coalition government of sorts so that no one party can just mess up. It should bring some cohesion.

    There is definitely a constitutional possibility as o this, but then the motion of no-confidence would have to be brought by the opposition and be carried by the majority, I'm not sure in the case of the Ghanaian constitution ...

    That's not true. It does not have to be brought about by the opposition at all. I just checked it out and those are not the rules. A constructive vote of no confidence is brought about by the support of an absolute majority o ...

  • George 10 years ago

    Agree 100% with Philip Walker's comments. Monetary changes are not the solution and raping the sources of income has only undermined confidence in the Cedi.
    That a reduction in expenditure is required is obvious. They have ...

    If Ghana had wanted economic development, she should never have voted for this gang of murderers and semi-literate coup makers in the first place. If you can have an illiterate ET Mensah as Minister of state, then there is so ...

    So even Duncan-Williams' command to the cedi was not heeded. What next? Negotiate with the cedi since it might not have taken kindly to the way the Bishop commanded it.
