Does the Council of State of Ghana exists for Ghanaians or the sitting President or both?

I believe that the said Council exists for Ghanaians and the sitting President. If so, then I would like to appeal to the Council of State not to allow their oath of office, to prevent it from helping to liberate Ghanaian masses from exploitation, poverty, slavery and misery.

As I ask the above questions, I am wondering if the Council of State has made considerations and recommendations to the President on 1. our sitting President's desire to build a cathedral for God at the place where he has decided to build it.

2. The way and manner our sitting President has handled the Recommendations of Justice Emile Short's Commission.

I strongly believe that the decision of our sitting President to build a cathedral at the current site is a very bad and wasteful decision. And all those who helped him to take such a decision, can never be considered as people, who are very sensitive to the suffering masses of Ghana, and that, they do not care about the exploitation, poverty slavery and misery, inflicted on the masses of Ghanaians, (because of the refusal of those, who see themselves as the voice of the voiceless, conscience of the people and the watchdogs of Ghana to hold our sitting governments accountable), more especially, when we have several places around Accra, where we can build a cathedral for God, if indeed, it is necessary to do so now.

I will agree to the current site if only it is a command from God.

If some people have been sent to go and gun down in broad day light, armless and harmless people, who have gone to exercise their franchise, and those, who claim to be the voice of the voiceless, watchdogs of Ghana and the conscience of the people, just look on helpless, then the question we need to ask ourselves are: 1. What kind of people are Ghanaians?

2. Who are we?

If all of us are afraid to hold a ruling government accountable, then there is no hope for all those who are wallowing in abject poverty and misery. There is no hope for the weak and voiceless in Ghana. Very unfortunate indeed.
