The talk of the town nay of the country is constitution amendment. We are given to understand that constitution is a set of rules compiled by men of wisdom for good governance of a country with a view to doing good to its people. "To err is human", as such man made constitution can never be above any mistakes. With every regime change, constitution shall be amended to suit the needs of the regime in power. Since constitution is meant for the good governance of a country, it should be amended in a manner so as to ensure the good of its people. In order to do good to the people, the constitution should be amended to: 1) Make laws that would prevent children of the present and past prime ministers to inherit the throne of the country, if they do not qualify for it. 2) Make PhD or Masters Degree a prerequisite for a person desiring to become a politician and 3) Make laws that would prevent a person from becoming a Prime Minister or a President for more than two terms, no matter how popular the person may be. If the above mentioned amendments are made, the people at large shall be immensely benefited.
