Four-year presidential term not enough – Dr. Law


Ok if that is your opinion then, how long should they have, 20 years? We don't want politicians to plunder the things we have hence the 4 year period. They will end up 'chopping all our money if we give them more years. Please Rev, don't go there. Even with the 4 years, look at what they do to us. Should we give them more years I am sure you know what would happen.

re: presidential term Considering the probable reduction in the savings in ex-gratia,he may have a point. But the looting during the legitimate term is the bigger problem to be addressed.

YES IT IS ENOUGH !!! YES IT IS! If you have a band of thieves like the Mahama and his NDC, I would think it is even scary to let them rule for 3 years. Can you imagine how much they would steal and send to Dubai, London, USA etc. ?
