  Dramani Mahama and his corrupt NDC administration are unfit to govern they must be kicked out ass they are
  incompetent, thieves, violents, crooks, deceitful, liars and total dishonest elements in our country who
  are only here in our country to destroy this nation for their own selfish interest.
  
  If infact someone comes out to claim
  or she supports and encourages Mahama's dumso-dumso and nkomfem
  corrupt and incompetent administration
  then, fellow country men and women
  Ghana cannever ever see progress for
  very long time ahead of us and our
  sovereignty will continue to be hopeless.

  This idiot Kwesi ahwoi finally speaks. These are the real thieves holding our nation back. This man and his brothers been stealing since Rawlings' time and were also running the nation during atta mills' time. Why did Mahama even gave this man a position in his government. May God strike this man dead in Jesus' name Amen. This man is a failure, arrogant, selfish and greedy bastard. Very soon, Ghanaians will begin hearing things about this man. This is the same man that is also trying to contest against Mahama in 2016. Foolish man.

  Suspect former or "fired" fire service officer is behind all these market fire outbreaks to get even with his or her former bosses for being "fired" from his or her job. The government should investigate the fire service too.

  Cha, you got that right. NDC is a complete failure.The whole country is alarmed by the recent fire outbreaks, not only the Government. Kwesi Ahwoi should be held responsible

  I think we have stopped using our God given brains in light of the political developments. I have few questions.
  
  When did the markets started burning?
  What happened to change the situation leading to the fire outbreaks?
  Why markets and not other places?
  
  What happened?
  
  The fires started just as the new government took office. But we all know that new governments do not set fire to markets. Else America and those countries that have been changing governments would have perished from earth long time ago. So it cannot be political!!!.
  
  What happened to change the situation?
  There have been power outages for some time now. When you switch off power off and on, there is something called surge that puts stress on the whole system and the wires. It is like switching on a high pressure valve that supplies a whole area whereas most of the taps are closed and a few are open. The pressure generated can burst the pipe and cause flooding or pools. It is the same with electricity!!!. When the powers are off most people switch of their switches. Thus when the power comes on, those that are on carry high pressure and can potentially catch fire especially if the wires are weak and not technically made.
  
  Why the markets and not elsewhere?
  I bel;ieve we all know how the wiring is done in the markets. One switch can control everything in a shop or a stall. The wiring is done by the shopkeepers themselves to no specification!!. Those lights are on day and night because people even sleep there. There is therefore a gradual weakening of the connections and make them easily catch fire. Can you recollect the ten year old boy who died in Kasoa a few weeks ago when he was connecting electricity for the mother's kiosk? You expect it not to catch fire when there is electricity surge? If you doubt, when you go home, switch off all your gadgets and leave one. Switch on and off several times and see if the bulb will not blow. It blows because it caught fire in a protected environment!!!!. It would have caught fire it were exposed like wire.
  You don't need Phd degree to understand this.
  
  Let ECG go to the markets, inspect the connections, disconnect the illegal ones and educate the people.
  
  No NPP, NDC or God is causing this!!
  
  A word to the wise is enough. God has given us brains to think like the others who developed are doing. I don't think he can be giving us simple instructions to the seven billion people every second that is the reason for the brain.

  The rampant fire outbreak in ghana before and after election have been planned by enemies of Ndc government designed to cause economic and social unrest to discredit the government.they have been setting fire before and after election at Ecg substations and market sites to distrupt and halt social and economic lives of many ghanaians and see no reasons why the security agencies have been lazy and slow to arrest these faceless idiots.These measures can be taken to reduce the fire outbreaks 1.Put curfew 6-6pm in all market sites and lockdown 2,Safety measures be taken to assess every electrical equipments including wires to check any faults or damages for correction by qualifed electrians 3,Issue identity cards to store and shop owners in the market place 4,fix cctv and fire alarms at market sites to be linked to the police and fire services 5,issue identity cards to Ecg engineers and ask them to log or clock when they go to sub stations to work 6,put cctv and fire alarms in all ecg substations 7 Beef up presence of security guards at all facilities including bui /akosombo dams ,we need ghana to move foward .

  It will be recalled that before the 2012 elections certain strange statement were made by some leading members of the NPP and notable amongst these statements are:
  
  1. Dr. Nyaho Nyaho Tamakle: “the 2012 general election is not going to be a conventional war but a guerrilla war”.
  
  2. Frances Asiam: “if NPP does not win the 2012 elections then Ghana would be like Afghanistan”.
  
  3. Sammy Awuku: “take positions syndrome and the use of unlicensed (wuma funu) Pestles as weapons by the NPP supporters against other political opponents, because it is the gun that needs to be licensed before use as a weapon”.
  
  4. Nana Akufo Addo: “the flag bearer and the presidential candidate of the NPP said before the 2012 elections that ALL DIE BE DIE”. This is a bad company (Pastor Mensah Otabil).
  
  5. And the one that broke the camel’s back declared in this country, a very unreasonable and an infamous statement by an NPP member of parliament for Assin North constituency, Kennedy Agyapong: “if the Ashantis meet the Ewes and the Gas they should kill them”.
  They are interested in political and economic power and will do all that is possible to inflame Ghana into ashes.
