Excellent discussion
Eeii! These two have agreed on per experience for the first time 😮
They agreed to do this because Dr Randy has hanged his boots and that was his last good morning Ghana show...just to honor him.
Please we need the full show here. some us missed it live
That's the plain truth! Instead of 2nd 3rd and 4th Republic, it should have been 2nd Constitution period. This hatred of the Akyem Mafia must come to an end. No one can erase Nkrumah's legacy in history.
I have always found that statement incongruous!! What is the meaning of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th... Republic and so on. That's crap!! The Republican status of Ghana has never changed since we became a sovereign state. Severing control from the British monarchy. Change of the constitution or whatever doesn't reverse our republican status! Will it mean that if an elected president amends the constitution entirely or in part, we suddenly have attained another republican status? Come on people!!!
When the statue get demolished in Takoradi, Kweku should come and defend why we don’t need it to remember Nana same way he’s defending the removal of Nkrumah holiday
So does it mean if a coup happens again and we return to democracy, that means we will move to 5th republic?
Very sound argument
Kweku Baako knows the truth but the truth cannot just exit his mouth because of his own contradictions even on himself.
Where is the contradiction. Just appreciate a man with his integrity and intellect. Always wearinf political lenses
After every coup, not only the government is overthrown but the constitution. After civilian rule is reinstated we almost always have a new constitution. This is what gives rise to the new republic. The republic emanates from a constitution. Our citizenship and political powers emanate from the constitution. I don't think these gentlemen are entirely correct. The distinctions in the republics should be known. My 2 cents
First, we have to define a republic. Else, no amount of explanation will suffice. A country whose head of state is not democratically elected is not a republic. So, when the army overthrew the elected Nkrumah, we ceased being a republic until we returned power to an elected leader. Right now, you cannot call Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, and Guinea republics and this is evidenced by Hon Bagbin’s Omission of the word “Republic” whenever he was acknowledging leaders of those countries.
You got it wrong. In a republic, the authority to govern emanates from the people and leaders are appointed OR selected based on establish laws. Democracy is not defined by what is practiced in the west.(note this) what you just mentioned is just one characteristics of a republic. Once we are not under any monarch or authority, we assume the position of republic. So for you to say a country whose head of state is not democratically elected is not a republic is completely wrong. Method of selecting leaders can vary
@@fadildapilaa7351 Just playing with words, I guess. Authority emanates from the people, you are right. Tell me one legitimate way that authority gets passed onto the leader by the people without elections. I will wait.
You say methods of selecting leaders can vary which is the reason why we have this conversation. eg. How a King is coronated cannot be said to be representative of the people's will. However, JM represents the will of the over 32m Ghanaians who elected him.
In short, you cannot talk about being a republic without having "some sort" of election. As you said, power emanates from the people but the ONLY way that power gets vested in an official has to be through an election -- form doesn't matter but has to be an election.
You and I did not create the term "Republic." Hence we cannot give to it our subjective meaning.
Doc. We have a new Ghana made up of critically conscious people who know what is good for them. We don't want sycophants like Kwaku Baaku who paraded themselves in every media deceiving Ghanaians by projecting wolves in sheep's clothing and defending every wrong by their pay masters. We're tired of him. Please don't start bringing him on your show. You will lose followers he starts his old tactics. He never saw anything wrong with all the rot and human rights abuses the NPP government led by Nana Addo and Bawumia perpetrated to Ghanaians in the last 8 years. Shame on him. I thought he was a statesman who loves Ghana. I bow to Uncle Kwesi Pratt. He's a statesman and a patriotic citizen of Ghana.
You are just a hater. That’s all
Baako is a discredited journalist....he is a disgrace.
