There is no money for road construction. He wants to build 200 secondary schools but no a pesewa was budgeted for in the budget government released because there is no money to do any construction. All the moneys are going to pay government workers including Mahama.

All of our governments only focus on what to do to put 10% somewhere. If we have properly laid down procedures why would the president be concerned about road contracts.

...So, the people around the president including his wife and those Team “B” staffers were aware of the president failing health. Therefore, who were they kidding when they ruin insults on whoever questions the former president health?
As much as I hate to admit Rawlings was right with his statement. If they have had listen to those who were concern with the president health, he might be alive today

The word is professionalism. Competency and capacity is what makes a good contractor. Contract award is not like giving hand-outs or freebies.Its Ghan's money that is involved. What has fairness got to do with it? One to NPP contractor and one to NDC contractor? is that what will make it fair? The president is unconsciously giving hiimself away.

Oh Kofi! Say that again. They are going to share the contracts amongst themselves and the NPP/NDC supporters in the name of fairness and the rest of us can go hang until 2016 election time.

I THINK ITS TIME DECENTRALIZATION WAS REALLY CHAMPIONED IN GH. LIKE THE FEDERAL SYSTEMS OF GOVERNANCE WE HAVE IN CANADA AND US. MAYORS, DCE'S WILLL BE VOTED FOR. THE PARTY WITH MOST DCE'S ELECTED CONSTITUENT MPS WILL HAVE THEIR REGIONAL PARTY HEAD BECOME THE REGIONAL MINITER. WE NEED DECENTRALIZATION AND COMPETITION AMONGST THE REGIONS IN TERMS OF REVENUE GENERATION, INFRASTRUCTRURE, HEALTHCARE, EDUCATION, REGIONAL LOTTERIES ETC...ALLOW THE REGIONS MORE AUTONOMY AND INDEPENDENCE TO RUN THEIR AFFAIRS. WHILES THE CENTRAL GOVT ACTED AS A FATHER FOR ALL. ECONOMICALLY STRONG REGIONS WILL MAKE A STRONGER GH, NOT VICE VERSA. THE NORTH AMERICANS ARE DOING THIS SUCCESSFULLY. WE CAN LEARN A THING OR TWO FROM THEM. WE MUST AIM HIGH

Why discuss theSE issues with the Prez? What's the Transportation Ministry for? Similar groups in other areas should work with their respective ministry officials.
That's what they're there for!

BEFORE CONTRACTS ARE AWARDED APPLICANTS SHOULD BE SCREANED CAREFULLY TO SEE IF APPLICANT HAD A PRIOR RECORD OF POOR WORK. ELIMINATE THOSE FROM COMPETING FOR CONTRACTS. CONTRACTOR WINS AWARD AND AS SOON AS THE GORVENMENT CHANGES HANDS THEY DONT COMPLETE THE WORK. GHANAIANS HAVE POOR WORK ETHIC,BUT WANT TO ENJOY THE SAME BENEFITS OFFERED THE HARD WORKERS IN THE WESTERN WORLD. THEY ARE LAZY AND WANT QUICK BUCKS THAT'S IT. BRING IN FOREIGN CONTRACTOS AND BE ASSURED THE WORK WILL BE DONE. SORRY.

It is no secrete that sometimes contractors are awarded contract without budget and this had been the cause of many judgement debts.Contractors have every right to go court to seek redress when their payments delay and with interest.That is why I am always appalled when people talk of judgement debt as if it is something corrupt and wrong.Lets get real because unless we recognize that most of these judgement debts are correct and genuine,there will always be conflict between state and the public.This unnecessary outcry against judgement debts is putting pressure on both the courts and government.The courts must be allowed to do their job and once there is a decision and judgement is given the government must respect and honour it.Otherwise they can resort to the court for redress through the appeal system and remember that when the state fails the judgement debt increases so lets get real for judgement debts are real.

dream on , read and see that everything i predicted since last year has come to pass , one just needs to read the signs of the times , today more and more people are talking about a possible coup but i say thats not possible as he who successfully abrogates or suspends the constitution has opened the Pandora box/ door for any citizen or group to also take the law into their own hands and that is WAR. Anyone who has tried to do business with a pepeni can testify to one fact that they went through extreme anguish and distress and thats the thumb print of this govt and exactly what the people are going through now . even the ec is admitting to faults and now saying it will prosecute some its officers as afari gyan realizes the game is almost over and is trying to save his skin . the discontent is so widespread its only the so called ndc foot soldiers , agent provocateurs and serial callers who dont see shit
