Second Chamber of GH's parliamet not necessary-Rxn 2 JAK

Suggestion by John Agyekum Kuffour,an ex-president of the republic of Ghana has been described as premature if not irrelevant by some Ghanaian youths.
He was quoted to have said in an interview in the past few days,"Ghana needs a second chamber of parliament to augment to the works of the current parliament". His suggestions though carries some substance, would not be the best taking into account the current state of Ghana's economy,and the perception by various youths that the current parliament is a failure.
A section of the population  is of the view that parliamentarians are not only ineffective in their formulation of legislation,but also self-centered.
Several instances can be cited where parliamentarians either vote for legislation/bills to be pass into laws, based on their partisan interest and not a national interest.It has also been alleged on countless occasions,that parliamentarians either have to delay government business or fast-track same, for the lack motivation(kick-backs).

This has triggered reactions from various circles and media.An influential media personality and self-acclaimed president of the youth Abieku Aggrey Santana,was heard on OKAY FM a media house where he is host the drive time(Thursday 12th September),raining curses on leadership of state and particularly parliament for their inefficiency in running the state and failure to implement basic programs such provision National Identification Cards among a host others.
Ghana's current parliament is seen not punctual at sittings,carry-out debates in trivial manner that can not be seen in secondary schools.
An alternative however is to ensure efficiency of current parliament,avoid the constant partisan stands on national issues and approach issues with the future of country in mind.
