  • JAMES Y 11 years ago

    The NPP MPs on the vetting committee should be allowed to sit on the vetting of President Mahama's ministerial appointees because their participation shows tacit recognition of Mr. Mahama as President of Ghana.

  • TerriblY Spe cifiC 11 years ago

    GOOD POINT THERE, NDC. IF THEY DO NOT RECOGNISE MAHAMA THEN TEHERE IS NO NEED ANY NPP MP SITS ON THE APPOINTMENTS COMMITTEE. THEY MUST EVEN LEAVE PARLIAMENT COS THEY WILL NOT RECOGNISE ANYTHING THE MAHAMA GOV'T INTRODUCES ON ...

    Some people do talk rubbish! Think think and think again. Any Govt without strong opposition fails! When you speak, think about your country and not the few people that you may know in Govt or from whom you expect favors. Thi ...

    Well said! But strong opposition is not shouting wolf when there is non. Or taking the good people of the Country for a ride.

  • TerriblY Spe cifiC Dog Breed 11 years ago

    It was not pedestrian ndc that ordered npps to boycot the election. Henceforth, it presumptious and over reaching on their part to dictate what action plan npp should undertake. Alias it's incumbent on ndc to want npp to part ...

  • kwasi 11 years ago

    I blame your parents for not training you in good manners. They should have told you that some things are not written or said for public consumption.

  • TerriblY Spe cifiC 11 years ago

    If Asantes had good training, they wouldn't be picking pockets at Kejetia. By the way,Kejetia is very famous for that business. How come? idiot.

  • Ketasco Headmaster 11 years ago

    Presidential inauguration did not fetch the MP who attended any allowance; but the Vetting Committee will gain at least some allowance; that's what they don't want to miss.

    You see, MPs are only joking with the electorates ...

  • IDRIS PACAS 11 years ago

    Sitting and taking part in the vetting directly translates into allowances for the members. Surely and shamelessly, they will take part just because of the money. Now, the NPP says it won't take part in the bye-elections at V ...

    james it seems you are sick in your head. Npp will not eat goat meat but prefer drinking goat soup, is that it?
    Any learned persons will not agree with the so called npp who called themselves "we know it all).

  • Boateng 11 years ago

    If the NPP lawyers and the specialists who are supossed to know better continue to call the legitimate President "illegitimate" President, then there is a problem. People then have the reason to say NO to their veting plans!

  • CLIFORD 11 years ago

    THIS IS NOT NECESSARY, AHI.AKOMEA HAS ADMITTED THAT THE MERE FACT THAT THEY BOYCOTTED THE INAUGURATION DOESN'T MEAN THEY DON'T RECOGNIZE THE PRESIDENT, IN FACT THEY DO RECOGNIZE HIM.LET US PUT THIS BEHIND US & MOVE FORWARD, S ...

    All MPs are elected to serve their constituencies not their parties and as such, must perform their duties in parliament.I disagree with what the NDC mp said.

    THIS IS FOR NPP MPs. THEY NEED TO BE FIRM. YOU REFUSED TO ATTEND THE INAUGURATION OF THE PRESIDENT ON THE BASIS THAT YOU DO NOT RECOGNISE HIS PRESIDENCY. THE SAME PRESIDENT GOES TO APPOINT MINISTERS TO WORK WITH HIM. I AM WON ...

    The poor resumes/fake certificates that some of the appointees will present is what they are afraid of not. the NPP will sit and there's nothing anyone can do about it.
