“Our president wields so much power than the American president or the British prime minister,” Dr. Nduom said, adding that there is nowhere in the advanced countries where a president is more powerful than everybody including state institutions.The PPP flagbearer made these known when he addressed political science students of the University of Ghana, Legon, including the leadership of the Students’ Representative Council (SRC) on Friday, April 22, 2016, in Accra.

According to him, the legislature has also failed to check the excesses of the executive.

“The legislature has become ineffective because those who have to scrutinise the president and his ministers are the same people sitting in Parliament, approving anything from the executive,” he said.

He believed that a complete separation of powers where MPs will not be made ministers of state, will improve governance in the country.

Dr. Nduom further called on the youth to acquire more knowledge and study the 1992 Constitution, especially Chapter Six, and other relevant sections.

He said that is the only way young people can compel leaders to bring about the change the country needed.

“I want you to remember that the choices that we make in an election year are not just for one year, and it is not just for two days, it is a choice that we make for four years, so we make those choices and we must choose good leaders who will take care of us every day, every week, every month until the time for another election is due, not people who will wait till election year, then they will come and say, remember I am your MP, remember I am your President," Dr. Nduom added.
