Lord please come save mother Ghana. Expanding this facility at a time of dire strait is really pathetic. Why do we need this many lazy & inept members in parliament? Apart from amassing wealth & fat paychecks, what exactly is their function & contributions to this nation? They've been awarded gargantuan rent allowance and now, expansion to this facility, at the expense of poor people.

THERE IS AN AKAN SAYING "MBRE EFIFIR IBINMU" LITERALLY TRANSLATION IN ENGLISH, COULD BE MUSHROOM HAS GROWN IN A SHIT.
WHY?? BECAUSE THERE IS VERY CLEAR EVIDENCE THAT THE PRESENT MEMBERS OF THE PARLIAMENT DON'T HAVE ANY GOOD IDEA ABOUT MOTHER GHANA. ITS HEARTENING TO READ RUBBISH LIKE WHAT HON. MINISTER IS SAYING. I WISH READERS TO TAKE THEIR CALCULATION MACHINE, THE TOTAL MONEY TO BE USED IN DOING THIS EXPANSIONS, CAN BUILD IF NOT EXAGERATING 10 ROADS FROM 10 VILLAGES TO ANOTHER 10. OR CAN BUILD AT LEAST PIPE BORN WATER FOR AT LEAST TEN VILLAGES IN GHANA.
BUT ONLY GOD CAN HELP US. LETS PRAY FOR PEOPLE WITH IDEAS WHO THINK ABOUT THOSE WHO VOTED FOR THEM TO BE IN THE PARLIAMENT! AMEN!

God does not do that, "Heaven helps those who help themselves" We must learn to tackle the bull by the horn, we must learn to honor our civic responsibility and demonstrate against what is wrong and give credit when it is due. We need a leader among the youth who can use technology to organize the youth at short notice to demonstrate Peacefully when necessary to keep these useless leaders on their toes. We are their employers and so can remove them when necessary. It's only when we start to do this that mother Ghana shall start to progress.

Do you want the government to go and fix toilets in private homes?or build toilets around the country?Travel and See.If you dont have toilet in your house that's your problem,if you have a visitor let them do it behind your backyard.If the country has any foreigner on official visit they will get a decent place.Did you vote in return of a toilet?Our world has changed over the years because new ideas were acted upon. People may not have had all the answers, but as they began to take action, the answers became clear.You are a CHIEF help your community by building toilets for individual houses.A pint of example is worth a gallon of advice.ALL THE BEST

When NPP was talking about free SSS the counter argument by the gov was that we don't have enough schools to accommodate the students. The EC and gov forced us to have 45 additional MPs when we have no facilities and room for them in the House. If 45 MPs were constitutional mandate isn't free education also constitutionally mandated and if we can have MPs before rebuilding our parliament why can't we free education before increasing facilities?

Now you see how stupid the government is. When EC and NDC insisted to increase the number of parliamentarians without thinking about the capacity of the house, seats and other facilities. What a shame. Now there is no water, electricity and children sit under trees in our schools and now the same government is going to spend money to expand the august house. Please let some of the members sit outside with speakers connected for them to hear what is going in parliament so that they will learn and feel for ordinary man. Useless people.

When these new constituencies were being created, there was huge disapproval from the general public but, Afari Gyan and NDC, pushed they way through due their diabolical intention.

Now the chickens are coming home to roost. This is a clear indication of incompetence, stupidity and irresponsibility in the sense that if the house cannot accommodate the new entrants, why the rush to create the new constituencies?

Will our leaders, for once, do the right thing for Mother Ghana to smile? Imagine the money that is going to be spent on this useless house of thieves? It is mind boggling and something beyond contemporary thinking.

Ghana must wake up and stop these politicians from making fool out of them. They come and within 6 months they become rich and don´t even give respect to those who voted for them. More money to be spent on them? Give the money to Woyome instead. After 56 or 57 years we are suffering more. when did Singapore, Korea, China, Saudi and Norway become the countries thyt are now?

I have the same mindset. Some years ago, I suggested that the MPs should be confronted head on when they visit their constituencies but that fell on deaf ears.

If such violent confrontations happens to one or two of these thieves, trust me, they will think twice and sit upright.

Ghanaians are too meek and are always thinking about their stomachs and that is the main reason these fools take us for granted.

Look at what happened in Tunisia. The people revolted and the government was dethroned. Can we do that in Ghana? No, never.

Our politicians will never learn till we revolt and start killing them.

THERE IS TOO MUCH NONSENSE IN GHANA NOW.HONESTY. RESPECT, DISCIPLINE, ETC,ETC ARE NO MORE.THE BEST SOLUTION TO GHANA'S PROBLEM NOW IS WAR. YES I SUPPORT WAR. AFTER A WAR, MOST PEOPLE WILL BE ELIMINATED AND THOSE WHO WOULD BE LEFT ALIFE WILL LEARN TO BE HONEST, DISCIPLINE, AND RESPECTFUL. THERE WILL NO SOLDIER OR POLICEMAN DURING WAR. ANY PERSON WITH AK 47 CAN BE A SOLDIER. THE GROUP WITH BETTER STRATERGY AND MASS SUPPORT WILL BE THE WINNER. FELLOW GHANAIANS, DO NOT FEAR WAR, IT'S GOOD, IT ELIMINATES EVIL, IT REDUCES POPULATION,CORRUPT PERSONS, CORRUPTION, NEPOTISM, TRIBAISM, AND WHAT HAVE YOU. THAT'S WHY GOD CREATED IT. REMEMBER IN THE BIBLE TIME, THERE WERE TOO MANY WARS, JUST TO ELIMINATE EVIL. SO GHANA, LET,S FIGHT FOR THAT IS OUR ONLY SOLUTION TO OUR PROBLEMS.
