    Our beloved country Ghana is witnessing a lot of events as we go to the polls in December this year. I was on the block monitoring political, social and development activities from August when I started counting the days to December 7th parliamentary and presidential elections in Ghana. - There is a major social problem degenerating into the culture of Ghanaians. This can be described or considered as political responsibility and civic and social discipline. Responsibility and discipline cut across all our daily lives, more especially in leadership roles, families and even among animals. For example monkeys play by sizes, which tells you that at every level of social structure there is the n…

    - GHANA POLITICAL PARTIES ON A WAR PATH If Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah is alive today would Ghana still be enjoying smooth good sound economic development for the people of Ghana? There is a trend of anger and selfish political acrimony degenerating into the four corners of Ghana. As I am working on this article today, the workers or labourers at the site of the on going presidential palace are on sit-down strike demanding an increase in their normal wage of three Ghana cedies for a day job. The workers are also exercising their democratic right to fight for their economic demand for higher daily wages to meet the high cost of living, since management of the India Company working on the…

    The day the people of Ghana will wake up and see a new day with a focused leader with a team that will put the priority of the nation right for new sense of belonging and national pride then that person or team will be called the political messiah. - DISORDERLINES AND MISPLACE PRIORITIES IN GHANA The day the people of Ghana would wake up and see a new day with a focus leader with a team that would put the priority of the nation right for new sense of belonging and national pride the said person or the team would be called the political messiah. The national pride and civil obedience at independence, has lost its value among Ghanaian societies and you would agree with me that, disorderlin…

  5. POLITICS AND ISSUES IN GHANA ELECTION. By Alexander Kukah

    - The month of August in Ghana politics would go into Ghanaian history. The coming election to the best of my knowledge l think has to go with issues and strategies that can bring economic transformation to the entire country. The trend of threats and misguided information going on all over the country through government spin doctors and the major opposition parties is my food for thought. Leaders in Africa always seek to democratise to make life meaningful to the citizenry. These development economic agenda is always backed by the West as a new development paradigms under the International Monitory Funds (IMF) and other multinational development partners to speed up development to alleviat…

  6. Countdown to elections in Ghana

    - According to Dr Salim Ahmed Salim, poverty brings about instability and insecurity, which breed under development. The reverse is also true. Democracy must deliver on the bread and butter issues, otherwise the continent could slide back into situations where the politics of poverty gives rise to the poverty of politics. However Africa countries need to seek inclusive participatory and democratic politics compatible with their ethnic diversity. Listening to the press conference of the NPP on the on going voter registration, and the voice echoed by the Nana Ohene Ntow was very careful to portion the blame on NDC showing what exactly they are planning to do to destroy the peace and stabil…

    - COUNTDOWN TO ELECTION 2008 IN GHANA….. The election 2008 in Ghana has a lot to offer a good enabling environment for the country to consolidate what we have lost and achieved for the past fifty one years. The new wave of democracy passing through Africa seeks to bring peace and development, but sometimes degenerate a lot of negative and positive to the continent and our dear country Ghana. Kenya has just experience a shock of human right abuses and pockets of ethnic conflicts which mar the democratic principles and election to elect the president to highest office. Whiles election of parliamentary representatives in Ghana also has recorded some factions of disagreement within the ru…
