I hate to break the news to you. But the majority of our problems have solutions in Parliament. By our constitutional design, our framers anticipated a time when a President like Nana Addo will come along. And so they prepared for it. Blamed<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, they anticipated a President who will decide to appoint his Family members as Ministers. Or who will seek to appoint 100s of ministers? they gave Parliament the power to superintend over that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No person nominated by the President gets approved as Minister if Parliament did not desire them to be. If Parliament said as a rule of thumb, we will no longer approve more than 25 ministers, no president can get around that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Second, they gave Parliament the power to pass a vote of censure on the minister so chosen. Again, they anticipated that even when Parliament makes a mistake and approves someone like Ken Ofori-Atta, they won\u2019t be without a remedy in dealing with him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Third, they gave Parliament the power of the purse. No President no matter how unhinged could impose senseless taxes like E-Levy on the people unless Parliament approved it. Simple as that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
