    The Minister does not know what he is talking about. He has jsut plugged some figures out of the air as usual thinking he would get away with it.

    A whole Minister talking as if there is no such provision in the electoral constitution of the nation. As if it's a crime to petition the courts of the land to resolve electoral grievances. What's the use of the Supreme Court ...

    Dr.Richardson, if I were you,I will not waste my breath on a topic of this nature.Mr. Iddrisu thought he can get away with a blunt propaganda but he is been caught with his hands in the cookie jar.

    Just pick up the projections for this fiscal year and do the analysis and one will come up with a proforma loss. However, may be not up to the 2bn but a loss is a loss. Usually, countries such as the U.S. dismiss electoral co ...
