This means that the council has a great responsibility.

I\u2019m looking forward to working with a council that will help all of us deepen our democracy and I\u2019m looking forwarding to working with the council that will help us deliver a prosperous Ghana. Such council should not give advice to a president, the effect of which is to undermine the independence of any of the other arms of government especially the judiciary,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>By: Godwin A.
