Love Brewed in the Ghanaian Forest – Mahama Got it All (2)
LOCAL GOVERNMENT – LET MY VOTE COUNT Strengthen local democracy and accountability through the election of district chief executives (DCEs). This shouldn’t incur any big additional cost, as organisation of such elections could be added to that of the assembly members election (and held on same day, as done for the presidential and parliamentary elections).

Little Voice from the Forest – Behold Ghana (3) – national cathedral and messiness
National Cathedral and the Messiness in Ecclesia The National Cathedral building project has become a very divisive issue in Ghana, the sentiments and debate it generates competes favourably with those of Ghana’s pitiful performance at the recent FIFA World Cup.
