Retired diplomat and prolific writer, K.B Asante, says Ghana has to get rid of the two term constitutional limits we place on our Presidents.
According to Asante, in a democracy, people should be allowed to choose whoever they want, depending on how well they perform.
He was speaking on Starr Fm Friday
“I personally would like that [removal of term limits]. This two term whatever business is not necessary; if we want the person we should [let him be there] and if we don’t want him after the first term we should sack him” the 91 year old statesman told Nii Arday Clegg.
“Somebody can be president for five terms, if he is good let him [be there].
“Democracy means that people should decide; so if we don’t like him let him go away.
As with everything, there are advantages and disadvantages. In theory, keeping a good President in power for a long time gives them the chance to carry out their agenda and improve the country, and if they have done so well after eight years we can decide to give them more years. The problem is that corrupting influence of power, and how in that instance you could end up with a Museveni problem, as I like to call these things now after Uganda’s last election.
Weighing the pros and cons, where do you fall?
