Who t is begging nana binladdo to come and rule Ghana at all? This is unbelievable, why this evil creature is tormenting mother Ghana in this way? And Everybody seat down unconcerned? Isn't this guy who has the biggest position in theif dewuo kufour regime? Didn't he has the most chance to implement whatever he has in his ugly coconut head? Why all these? Today i'm going to ask GOD these, tomorrow i'm going to consult GOD that, why?. Ghanaians deserved better then this thing called nana binladdo, let me tell nana in plain words that the 8 regions out of 10 is not ready today and tomorrow or future to bring the "we akan's npp party " to rule Ghana again, they haven't decided on that yet, for Ghanaians are comfortable now under President John Mahama now than theif kufour who redistributed the nations wealth to his akan people, which they deliberately refused to pay back to mother Ghana.

It is hard to believe there still remains this type of mind at this forum of intellectual debates. What I find is a troubled mind trying to disrupt the flow of ideas and constructive suggestions. Yours is an obsession with Nana Addo for whichever reasons or gains - whether paid to foolishly come out with anything out of your head to smear him.
The saddest part is your IP address shows glaringly at inquiry. This means it is easy to trace you from the registered provider's information - a task which some gurus probably might have done.

Blame these failures at the district and regional levels on the architects of the failed decentralization of Ghana's rural and urban planning and development scheme. It is yet another example of Ghana's insatiable appetite to copy anything they see in foreign countries and attempt to implement in Ghana even when they are clueless and or incapable of understanding the conditions that impact what it is they desire to do. There are no civilized nations out there with an axe to grind against Ghana but there are nations all over the globe with leadership who know that they are responsible for the security, safety and economic development of the people and nation they lead. It is in this wisdom that America is not seen in good light by most of Ghana's educated elite class from the CPP, NDC, NPP and others. It is not the fault of America that Nkrumah was overthrown but fault of the men and women of less intellectual capacity who assumed there is something for free in this world. Those fools for leaders are still in play in Ghana politics.
If we know we live in a society full of bribery and corruption why then would we decentralize responsibilities to local level even while the administration of those local governments are reserved for political cronies and no direct line of communication to an impartial professional entity of the central government from local residents? Why would local development be based on locally generated revenues (taxes and fees) even when every elementary level pupil knows that farming and fishing communities barely have pots to piss in and homes to lay their heads? Is it wisdom, folly or tribal vengeance when people who claim to want to see Nkrumah era government employee numbers reduced rather unknowingly or by design expand civil servant staffing by creating additional national government payroll at local levels? The failed planning, implementation and policies of the decentralized rural and urban development and planning scheme is the handy-work of people full of memorized theories and ideas but intellectually senile to know how to get themselves out a brown paper bags if their own lives depended on being able to free themselves. Anyone who thinks people with or in political powerful positions give a darn about the people they represent is apt to buy into the argument that our members of parliament should be paid comparable salaries to those in the UK and in the USA.

Abeeku Mensah, you said it and you said it well. THANK YOU.
Ghana we do have issue and the issue here is we need "A statesman, one who divines the long future, foresees the place of his class and nation in it, labors intelligently to prepare his countrymen for their fate, combines courage with discretion, takes risks, exercises caution when it is necessary, and goes off the stage with a reasonable degree of respectability." And this is to begin with.
Now lets take a look at the 1992 constitution, Ghana government established a system of local government and be decentralized, also each local government unit with a sound financial base with adequate and reliable sources of revenue. Furthermore, the local government can manage and execute policies in respect of all matters affecting the people within their areas, with a view to ultimately achieving localization of those activities.
The government made the District Assemblies having higher political authority, legislative and executive powers. But on the contrarily the local government couldn’t delegate due the fact that their actions most often are driven by powerful phobias beyond their control by the national government
District Assembly candidates are all selected officials by the government and on a scale’s value have no vision that describes the Diversity and Inclusion Strategy's contribution in support of the vision and mission of the Local Government’s mission itself.
From the beginning the government could not identify properly that the Regions, cities and municipalities as sub national divisions. Or the Region as the higher unit of the local government, and could therefore exercise general supervision over its components cities and municipalities. That, the Region could also manage and influence an organizational culture that plans and delivers inclusive and equitable programs and services in support of the Region’s Vision and Mission.
The outcome of decentralization over the last decade never showed any sign of achievements in which the over-all local governments were able to meet
or devolved new expenditure responsibilities. The point is, there is no safety net and full of disparities. The process is haunting the regions and must not hover around the periphery as a symbol of hope anymore. Today Local Government is a failed administration largely due to neglect, excessive control, constraints and other primary causes contributed to the creation and persistence of wealth inequality
Every region is entitled to government grant and due to the government's NEPOTISM, HYPOCRISY & PREJUDICIAL ATTITUDES TOWARDS, life-depleting tactics and a lack of leadership in vision allowed the region’s infrastructure deteriorated.
Now it's the regions’ to turn to magically resurrect a “Self-Ruled Region Initiative”, whereby the region will take a full responsibility of sharing higher political authority powers. This is a key element of a constitution in a national system is the assignment of responsibilities and powers to the two orders of government, the National and the Regional.
From 1968 to present all issues facing Ghana has undoubtedly turned into "grievances".
We need a LIFE.

The Flawed constitution has made it impossible for Harsh punishment to public officials and that why CORRUPTION is Growing.
The only threat to Ghana is SADLY the Parliament of Ghana.!, How can one minister also serve as a Parliamentarian at the same time? How can the Parliament investigate a corrupt minister when the minister is at the same time a Parliamentarian? The constitution is FLAWED and written by crooks. Kuffour& Nana Addo had 8 years to correct all this and they FAILED miserably.

I MUST SAY THAT THIS GHANAIAN PARLIAMENT IS A USELESS INSTITUTION. THE PEOPLE DO NOT FEEL THE PRESENCE OF THIS INSTITUTION. THIS INSTITUTION IS NOT PLAYING ANY EFFECTIVE ROLE IN THE GOVERNANCE OF THE COUNTRY. IT IS NOT REPRESENTING THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE. IT IS NOT REPRESENTING THE NEEDS AND ASPIRATIONS OF THE PEOPLE.
THIS INSTITUTION SHOULD PARTICIPATE EFFECTIVELY IN DOMESTIC POLITICS OF THE COUNTRY. FOR EXAMPLE, PARLIAMENT SHOULD CRITICALLY EXAMINIE THE BUDGET OF THE PRESIDENT AND NOT RUBBER STAMP A BUDGET SIMPLY BECAUSE IT CAME IN THE NAME OF THE PRESIDENT. PARLIAMENT SHOULD COME UP WITH ITS OWN BUDGET IF IT DISAGREES WITH THE EXECUTIVE. PARLIAMENT SHOULD REACH AGREEMENTS WITH THE EXECUTIVE ON BUDGETARY ISSUES, ISSUES THAT REPRESENT THE WILL AND NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE.
PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEES SHOULD DO THEIR WORK AND MAKE THEIR WORK BE FELT BY THE PEOPLE. PARLIAMENTARY OVERSIGHT COMMITTEES SHOULD BE VIGILANT AND ENSURE TRANSPARENCY IN GOVERNMENT. POWER MUST BE SHARED EQUALLY BETWEEN THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH AND THE LEGISLATURE. THIS IS BUT A FEW IDEAS THAT WOULD ENSURE THAT GHANA IS BETTER MANAGED.
