The final State of the Nation’s address by President John Dramani Mahama which was scheduled for Thursday has reportedly been postponed.
Reasons for the cancellation are not readily known and it is not clear whether a new date will be set for the address which will also be the last by a head of State to the Sixth Parliament that is set to be dissolved midnight January 6.
The delivery of the address is in accordance with Article 67 the Constitution which states: “The President shall, at the beginning of each session of Parliament and before a dissolution of Parliament, deliver a message on the state of the nation”.
Parliament will today resume sitting to round up its activities before members rise for the Christmas break ahead of the dissolution.
Already, Parliament has started registering all the newly elected members of parliament for the Seventh Parliament of the Fourth Republic. The members will be issued with identification cards which will enable them to vote for the selection of a Speaker and other officials for the 7th Parliament under the fourth republic ahead of the inauguration of the president-elect, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo on January 7, 2017. The registration which started on Monday, December 19, ends on Friday, December 23.

His Excellency has to commission some classroom blocks which he is well versed in doing. So please allow him. After that he will also visit the circle and kasoa interchanges to see if the final touches have been completed and re-commission them. As for the SONA, he thinks he can delegate to Nana Akufo-Addo to do it for him. Priorities lie where 10% flows!!
Why shirk a dutiful responsibility to the nation in the dying hours of your NDC administraion, His Excellency? This happens to be a presidential assignment/duty to the Republic of Ghana which cannot ever be evaded, your health intact. The nation takes you task for this attempt by His Excellency John Dramani Mahama to run away from a constitutional duty that must needs be honored. We have Your Excellency's past State of The Nation's addresses to inform what you are trying to withhold. Fortunate yet, the records already handed in to us betray the past errors the State of The Nation's address which Your Excellency delivered carried. We go to work to correct errors that never should have been made. We pray this nation of ours learns yet.
2 things involved: either the d.e.a.d g.o.a.t has nothing to say or he is still licking his defeat wounds. If he is licking his wounds fine but if he has nothing to say then 2 things involved: either Ghana was doomed with blur future or he was going to say we have chewed all the meat and paid bribes for campaign so its left with bones just like 2012.
Cancelled, Postponed ,adjourned,rescheduled,suspended,deferred or terminated or whatever; its clear that the SONA is not happening on the 22nd peeeeriiod.Incom.pe.tence none can compare.
Why did you remove my comments that exposed your hatred for president Mahama? You need to up your game because your god kapwepwe Akufu Addo will not be president for ever! A new date of 5th January was given for the SONA and when I corrected you you hastily removed my post because it exposed your bias towards president Mahama. Keep on doing Kapwepwe's bidding Kwadwo Agyemang.
K.K. or whatever your real name might be, let's all learn to be decorous to each other. you came in well to advice others who were insinuating only for you to end up being insulting, tribalistic and disrespectful to the many Ghanaians who have thought it wise to elect Nana Addo as the President of Ghana. You and I can't change the wish of God so let's be careful in order not to incur the wrath of God for disobedience to legitimate authority. Thank you.
THE STATE OF THE NATION ADDRESS IS VERY IMPORTANT. MAHAMA SHOULD RATHER CANCEL THE USE..LESS AND SENSE..LESS FAREWELL TOUR AND PRESENT THE ADDRESS IN PARLIAMENT. NON.....SENSE
We do not need any long speeches from Jon Mahama about how he has built inflated priced infrascture projects ; we do need need Jon Mahama to come and tell Ghanaians how Ghanaians are doing well under his KROOKED team of NDC arrogant bandits or politicians masquerading as rogues and bandits to rob mother Ghana ; WE NEED TO KNOW WHO KILLED POOR ATTA MILLS BECAUSE NANA ADDO IS COMMING -TRUST ME THR TRUTH WILL SHALL PREVAIL AND JON MAHAMA SHALL BE ARRESTED !!!!!
THE STATE OF THE NATION ADDRESS IS VERY IMPORTANT. MAHAMA SHOULD RATHER CANCEL THE ***barred word*** FAREWELL TOUR AND PRESENT THE ADDRESS IN PARLIAMENT. NON.....SENSE
Could someone correct me if am wrong. The line in the text that reads " reasons for the cancellation are NOT readily UNKNOWN" should read " reasons for the cancellation are NOT readily KNOWN". The first statement appears to be a tautology and shows the reasons are known. If the reasons are know, why not state them? I may be wrong, but I guess this platform is also meant for improving our understanding of the English language and how it's written. I maybe wrong though!
