PAPA your stomach is too big than all past presidents why .?
Akyem mafia, he should be 1time president. His government is something else.
Dag heward mills, pastor please, Jesus is not white! I read your articles about leadership in the daily graphic and you always post along with it a certain type of picture that a lot of ignorantt people who cannot read properly use as Jesus's pics. Please pastor go and read your Bible again and you may find out that Jesus is described in the Bible as a black man. Jesus has full melanin so even you pastor you are fairer than Jesus. It is very disappointing to read an intelligent article and then end with such a picture as Jesus, it defeats the intellectual component of the article. It is not only Jesus who is black, moses, David, Solomon and all the important persons in Bible are black people. The white man is a recent thing. Even Madam and Eve were put in the garden of Eden which was in Africa so the white man is indeed a recent thing
How old were these people when they were appointed by the president who has just spend two(2) years in power. Is he not aware of this facts?
Papa AKYEM the ***barred word*** Your Kufour has no morals to plead for these ***barred word***:He is worse off and of no use now in Ghana again:Leave the pregnant man alone Your M YEM
Good: Clear all the Ashanti ***barred word*** and replace them with AKEMS
if the prez meant well and may want to appoint them as you have suggested, he could have done that straight away.its just a grand plan to get rid of them. most of them were appointed when they were over 60 already. didn't he know the law or the moral aspect of it before appointing them? this flimsy excuse can only beat feeble minds. but we are patiently watching.
This man is not serious, we ashantis will have to rebel. Why does Nana hate us so much. NPP is for all of us. Kuffour must speak.
what do you know about TOR? what apathy is there? go and find out before you talk. Isaac Osei is very respected there than any of the past MDs. he has tried to reshape the over politicised organization and been firm against the exploitation of the exploitative government cronies who usually bring in their finished products at the expense of TOR running. akufo addo wants the asantes out, especially kk sarpong and isaac osei. the rest are good hens that have been hit whiles trying to kick out the 'bad ones'. government knows the guys have been blameless and could not use the ordinary proceed on leave style to sack them. the retirement clause, i stand to be corrected any way, am told, applies to civil servants and appointed heads of the security agencies. if all public workers are included then the constitution must be amended immediately to bar akufo addo from contesting again and possibly force to resign. how can octogenarian or even centenarian be allowed to serve as president but not other public service? the highest office of the land that is uniquely demanding is rather no touched? ghana and the rest of africa has a long way to go. did intellectuals write the constitution? interesting.
You people don't know the law and how politics works. You just get up and post anything. This is not credible information. No one has been asked to retire or been sacked. This is just mischief to create discord on a significant day like the enskinment of the Dagbon chief.
