Many Ghanaians will rather wish the minimum age required to be an MP shd be increased to 50yrs.This is to allow them to gain some working experience and improve their economic status b4 entering the august House. Majority of our MP who entered parliament are inexperienced, we shouldn't forget per the Constitution the President picks some of them as his Ministers. They are also prone to making mistakes and also easy to bribe bcoz they have just started life after Uni. I hope we had this as part if our Constitution Review plus the Total Number of MPs being reduced from 276 to 150.

This bill must be thrown out of the Parliament. It never has anything progressive thinking and inclusivity in it.
We have a nation where the President could be 100 years and guaranteed by the constitution to be the president yet you want persons with parliamentary ambitions to be hindered?
How? Go to the WesternWorld and observe the real carreer legislators and their ages?
This bill has nothing progressive thinking in it. At best, it will only infringe on the fundamental human rights of individuals and the right to expression of interest in political association and election

Attention seekers k3k3! They know this will not fly. They think parliamentary work is just another avenue for employment.
The core function of parliamentary work is to make laws, debate legislation, and conduct oversight of government actions, particularly through committee meetings.
MPs hold regular meetings with constituents, address community issues, and act as a link between the people and government, which is a demanding, active role rather than just a passive job. These demand attitude and commitment and nit necessarily the physical strength. Age is just a number and l have seen younger persons who have atrophied and gotten to near vegetative state whereas some older perdons remain active and purposefully focused and grounded
Aside wining pblic trust, true legislative performance is aimed at strengthening accountability, improving policy outcomes, and building a society based on merit, rather than just being young and supposedly energetic. All things being equal, one sees more of crystallised intelligence and wisdom acquired over the years which any decision maker at beyond even 70 years much more matured

The Asante-Akyem MP is an MP by default and knows that he is a seat warmer for one term and so want to cause as much damage as possible,the problem is the minimum age which should be pegged at anything between 35 to 40 to avoid the likes Sam George and Ablakwa who went to parliament with empty hands and heads.Any rogue president who doesn't care will appoint such characters into government to mess Ghanaians around.

I disagree not only on intellectual basis but on natural right and justice grounds.
Competition via Ghana's electoral process and debts incurred by persons/ candidates cannot be truncated by age unless government nullifies political debts owed by MP's if they are obligated or mandated to retire against their inherent or natural rights and justice.
The chaotic political era we live in are attributable to the lack of knowledge transfer and knowledge retention. While we continue to grant extraordinary powers, liberties, wages, salarie and perks to our politicians, not to mention access to government contracts and a perverse entitlements the nation fails to get anything in return on all that we invest un our politicians.
We should be mindful, as a nation, to not fall for feel-good concepts that yields nothing of value but hollow solutions with band-aid results. We cannot and must not attempt to solve unemployment with curtailment of the rights of people gainfully employed.
We cannot, on one-side of our mouth, force mandatory retirement age on people while on the other side of the same mouth lament and complain about problems of inexperience, lack of productivity and etc. We must have in place at each agency of government a system of "knowledge transfer or knowledge retention scheme" that centers around monitoring, shadowing, succession planning and cross training if we must mandate forced retirement age.
