We hope to see an improvement within 2 weeks . Together, this one also shall be resolved.
Thanks

What we need to understand is that when the framers wrote Article 146 of the Constitution, they knew exactly what they were doing by outlining a distinct process for the removal of each head of the three arms of government.
Yesterday, I said I was excited about the Chief Justice’s suspension because, upon reading the text of the Constitution, it’s clear to me that once a prima facie case has been established and an inquiry is sanctioned, the Chief Justice must be sidelined. This suspension is not intended to be punitive; it is precautionary.
You have a committee, partly composed of two justices of the Supreme Court, chaired by one, tasked with inquiring into the possible removal of the Chief Justice. And yet we expect them to carry out this sensitive duty with their ‘boss’ still in active service, figuratively breathing down their necks? Picture this: on Monday, they sit to consider matters relating to the CJ’s removal, and on Tuesday, while the inquiry is still ongoing, they return to the bench and respond to her as their administrative head. Is it really hard to see the danger in this arrangement?
Now, before someone points out that the Constitution uses the word “may” instead of “shall”, suggesting permissiveness rather than obligation, this is one of those instances where “may” must be read as binding. It simply makes no sense for the CJ to continue discharging her official duties, including exercising administrative authority over the chairperson and a fellow justice involved in her own inquiry, while that process is still unfolding.
Another reason I’m encouraged by this development is that it demonstrates, quite clearly, that no arm of government is above scrutiny. Our allegiance, as citizens, should always be to the sovereignty of the nation, not to individuals or offices.
If there’s a conversation to be had about reforming the process for removing the Chief Justice, perhaps placing it exclusively in the hands of the legislature, you might just have my attention. But until then, President Mahama stands entirely within the bounds of the Constitution. I would have suspended the CJ too if I were in his position.
Let’s see how the rest of this plays out. But let’s also be honest: while the doctrine of separation of powers is foundational, rigid compartmentalization in governance is often impractical, and frankly, bad governance. They say what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Make of that what you will.

I've had the privilege of attending the Constitution Review Committee's stakeholder engagements lately, and I've noticed something concerning: young voices are underrepresented. This is a crucial moment for us to reshape our governance for the better. Let's embrace this opportunity and get involved—your input matters and can make a real difference!

1. The new government of Ghana has decided to save the country from further embarrassment by withdrawing a bizarre order issued by the former Energy Minister & Vice Presidential Candidate of the former ruling party, NPP.
2. The order aimed to compel Eni and Vittol, two international petroleum companies operating in Ghana, to merge their already producing oil field with a green field owned by Ghanaian startup, Springfield. Springfield was then to take up 55% of the combined field.
3. The whole idea was a bit crazy as the international companies had invested more than $6bn in their oilfield, a portion of which had been guaranteed by the World Bank against political risks in Ghana. Ghana had also issued bank guarantees for certain portions of the field's output.
4. Springfield's oil field, on the other hand, had seen less than $100m of investment by the time the order to merge came, and there was insufficiency proof that it even contained enough oil to be commercially viable. Data from a recent appraisal effort raised more questions than answers.
5. Merging these two very different fields and giving 55% to Springfield would not only have amounted to a forced transfer of wealth from one private business to another, it would also have shortchanged Ghana as the country's own stake would also have been diluted to Springfield's benefit.
6. You can read more about this analysis in essays I wrote a while ago, links to which are provided in the thread below.
7. With this ridiculous order now out of the way, we can have a strategic discussion about local content and local ownership. What can the government LEGITIMATELY and SENSIBLY do to support local companies like Springfield that seek to enter the upstream petroleum business?
8. In answering that question, we must bear in mind that such companies will still raise the bulk of their capital internationally and many would sell equity to international investors.
9. The days of PURE nationalism in natural resources ownership and management are quite behind us. There are international rules of capital that cannot be easily discounted. Smart countries combine nationalism with international business savvy to advance their interests.
10. Springfield, for instance, raised all the money it has spent so far on its Afina block from investors all over the world. Albeit with a strong emphasis on Dubai, Switzerland, and Russia based brokers.
11. In some cases, future production output was reportedly pledged. How the company sorts out these investors and secure enough funding to stay in the game would likely depend on how attractive the investment climate in Ghana becomes.
12. In that sense, the protracted dispute was not even in Springfield's own interest or in the interest of the local insurance and real estate tycoons, among others, who had been so aggressively lobbying the new government to continue down the same ruinous path as the old government.
13. Had the previous government been more receptive to counsel and objective analysis, this mess may not have been created in the first place and Springfield may have accepted some of the offers that came their way in the beginning.
14. Let's see how things unfold in coming weeks.
