Former President John Dramani Mahama appears not pleased with the work output of some key institutions in the country as he wants them to do more.
According to Mr. Mahama, a state institution such as the Electoral Commission (EC) owes it a sacred duty of care to the people by ensuring they are included in the electoral process and not excluded in the interest of the incumbent administration.
He believes the media has been economical with the truth and also asked the media to report facts without bias, and also to hold the government of the day accountable.
That is not all as the former President was of the view that the Judiciary and the police are not serving the interest of the people and the state.
In a tweet, Mr. Mahama said “A judiciary owes it a duty to deliver impartial justice to the people; an Ombudsman owes a duty of care to the people to investigate all issues of malfeasance; a police force should exist to serve the people and not rein terror on them; an electoral commission owes …
“… a sacred duty of care to the people by ensuring they are included in the electoral process & not excluded in the interest of the incumbent admin; an independent media owes it to the people to not only report facts without bias but to hold the govt of the day accountable.”

You are right Ohemaa-Ba. The opposition party should, as a necessity, present the best alternative policies and programs to solve problems and challenges because it has to challenge the ruling government and the electorate that it's indeed the better government in opposition to bring the nation forward. In this regard, the NDC as an opposition party has failed the citizens miserably with its sabotaging diabolic attitude.
THIOS JOPHN THIOEF MAHA IS SUCH A LOOOOOOOSER NOT EVEN A JOKE ANYMORE AND HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT IS LAW NEED SOMEONE LIKE PRESIDENT NANA ADDO TO TEACH SUCH A ***barred word*** LOOOOOOOSER, DOESN'T LISTERN DEAF EARS ***barred word*** NEED TO GO WHERE THE SUN DON'T SHINE. GHANAIANS DON'T NEED MAHAMA ANYMORE. COMPLETE JACKASS PAIN.
Somebody has to take the flask from him, it contains Tennessee whisky(Jack Daniels) alcoholic drink. He talks under the influence of hard liquor.
Mr John Mahama, are these the most topical issues in Ghana today? All you think about is elections? We have galamsey, the depreciation of the cedi and an economy which is tanking…… and all this man talks about is Electoral Commission and the Judiciary! You seem to be running on a different direction from where the masses are! Masa bring you mind home, wai!
The NDC, as a political party in the fourth republic, has abysmally failed in terms of its contribution to the practice of democracy in Ghana. I do not believe the NDC understands the fundamental nature of democracy. Thus, the opposition party presents the best alternatives in terms of policies, programs, and competence to withstand crises and challenges to uphold the interests and well-being of the citizenry. The interests and well-being of the people should be principal and measurably in every aspect of party politics, whether in opposition or government. Hence, opposition politics should be constructive and not sabotaging. Quite unfortunately, the NDC has not been able to live up to the task; rather, personal political ego and interest have been the driving force for political power. And political power so obtained can only be sustained by a kleptocracy that is not accountable to the electorate. That is why the NDC is heavily corrupt. I believe the media has been too economical to write and speak about this truth! This tactic of working the masses against the electoral commission, ahead of elections, will not hold.
This greedy and corrupt John Ford Mahama guy is against every state institution. He is not a normal guy. You are collecting your huge pension and you still want to come back to full time work? It will never happen. Massa go and enjoy your looted state cash on top of your huge retirement benefits. You are becoming irritating. NDC must dump this corrupt man.
It is VERY SAD he is doing this. But I can assure him, this inferior tactics will NEVER win him elections. If he care to know, he should train his illiterate layer-polling agents well on how to collate results.
