    the TUC should blame the NPP for sabotaging the economic development of the country. Instead of blaming the NPP, TUC is blaming the govt which is unfair

    TUC should bold to say Nana Addo and his NPP is the course of the slow down in economic activities in Ghana today. The uncalled for petition is regression to Ghana's developmental efforts.

  • Mama Tula 10 years ago

    Ghana was heading in this direction with, or without the election petition. It is the level of corruption in Ghana that is causing it all.

  • DKB 10 years ago
