    No one should back 5 years term for the presidency. Imagine having Akoffo Addo for 5 years, two terms.

    Just 11 months in office and The Mahamas children are doing village type car racing and street fights in Borteyman & Legon.Imagine what will happen to Ghana if you give President Mahama 2 5year Presidential terms.

  • Free Radical 13 hours ago

    Cheap backing to get either appointment from incompetent useless Mahama or money to fill his pockets.

    And you think the only solution to the issues you have enumerated is to add one year to the president's mandate. There are many ways to address these issues within the 4 year period.
    The election is in December and if it doe ...

    The pre-election and post-election time spent by these politicians are nit wasted but for them to prepare how to recover the money they spent on their campaigns. Our colonial masters, United Kingdom, USA and other developed a ...

    Prof if the four years is too short for a president to effectively implement policies, five years will also be TOO SHORT. Let it be TEN years instead.

    The core competence for leadership is exceptional ability to read people. Not everyone has this. Within a year in office this gets known and the rest of the term is a slide downwards or upwards . Four years is just right. An ...

    There’s no problem with the current system, it’s only that people are incompetent. Three months before elections, people must be able to form a government behind the scenes. One month after elections would be for clearanc ...

    For a professor, your argument for extended presidential term from 4 to 5 years is very shallow to say the least. If 4 years is too short, what makes 5 adequate. Why not 6 or even 10. If you think the president spends so muc ...

    Five year term to create, loot and share. If things are getting worse within the five years, it means the citizens must continue suffering throughout the five years. Four years is enough. Nothing more, nothing less. If you co ...

    Prof. I beg to differ here. What if a government is not performing from the onset. And you are saying it should be given another one year to perpetuate its incompetence? Prof.come again .

  • Ghana 6 hours ago

    Presidential term, i think, must be the same 4 years. If they are for Ghanaians, ex gracia must be removed.

  • Kwadwo 4 hours ago

    Clearly from 4 to 5 years it shows how ineffective Ghanaian politicians are.
