Four years in power and you still complain about a government of the past. You see another young face has erupted to assume foolish talks.

Just before the Deputy Minister-designate was vetted, Chairman of the Appointments Committee Ebo Barton Odro appealed to members to ask just a few questions to enable the nominee to leave quickly.

“Honourable members, as you can see, the Deputy Minister-designate is heavily-pregnant and should therefore not be made to sit here for long,” the chairman said.

Answering a question posed by Samuel Okudzeto-Ablakwa as to how she would advise owners of pets, like cats and dogs, to take good care of them because such pets could be a ‘delicacy’ for some ethnic groups, Dr. Bissiw, in a composed manner, narrated her own experience.

She said she had a beautiful cat as a pet but the cat ended up in someone’s soup because she did not take very good care of it.

“Mr. Chairman as a young girl, I had a beautiful kitten as my cherished pet, but there were some young men in our house who sometimes took the pet and fed it till the kitten grew into a fat cat. But one day my cat was no where to be found, so I asked the young men in my house whether the cat had come to them and the answer was that if I could only split their stomachs open, I will find the cat there; meaning they had killed and eaten the cat,” she narrated.

Who owns that fat-kidneyed obese kuborlor ?

Can he tell Ghanaians what the NDC did from 1982 till 2001 in addressing workers agitations ?

Can he also tell Ghanaians, who initiated the Single Spine Salary Structure(SSSS)and signed that into law in January 2009 before it was suspended by the notorious dirty criminals ?

When such outrageously insufferable obese swines get their brains covered with fat, they forget what governance is all about.

this is a sorry ass pathetic propaganda piece of work with no hard evidence nor does it properly address the issues. even a primary school boy could do better given the resources the govt and ndc have at their disposal. the rantings of a madman dont make a case no matter how loud he may shout . i will not go into the legal absurdities or poor interpretation of the forensics on this forum rather will just point out one glaring mistake instead of the word omissions he keeps insisting on commissions as he so power drunk from the commissions he receives from everybody be it the turkish gold lebanese , chinese , koreans , iranians or americans GE. this doc or afidavit of ndc is what will sink pepeni and his delay tactic specialist lawyers. muddling through using these buga buga style will not work this time . what a bunch of infantile fools

What did Mills and Mahama do about labor in 5yrs altogether? Why can't the NDC accept the challenge and mop-up strategies to combat the situation and stop blaming the NPP for their incompetence. Fool, the NPP has ruled for only 8yrs out of the total of 32yrs of the 4th republic. Why can't this lunatic buffoon question the 24yrs that the NDC has found themselves at the forefront of affairs

These young faces in the NDC are indeed a disgrace and a liability to their own employers and the youth in Ghana as a whole. Apart from blaming the previous NPP government they have nothing to contribute as deputy ministers to yheir ministrries and government agenda. No wonder we are where we are at the moment as a people and a country. These thank-you jobs for the boys should stop now.

Sam George, you have to shut up for once and stay back because you don't know anything. Most of the times I have listened to your talks on TV3 and other stations, there's not a single thing you have said that makes sense to me. Because you always make references to the former regime. Your gov't is in power so why talk about the past. I .don't think you will ever get any post in NDC because you can't change anything when given the chance.

What Samuel George should know is, if the president decides to meet all groups of strike leaders then he should eliminate his ministers and deputies and bring all ministries directly under his administrative control. This kind of governance seriously undermines the positions of the ministers and the vice-president. In addition, the president is using the 'Ghanaian elder prestige' to solve scientific and professional problems that need time and truth to resolve the problems permanently and not 'artificial' solution.

Mahama needs to fix the problem no matter what. He was 2nd in command in the Mills administration and therefore if there was a MESS, he has been part of it. Mahama cannot run away from the problem in Ghana. Ghanaians gave the NDC the mandate 4 years ago to fix the problems NDC made noice about. It has now emerged that KUFFOUR was on the right track. He did excellent work and Ghana was moving in the right direction. Until Asiedu Nkatia is kicked out of NDC, Ghana will sink and sink very very fast
