In as much as I hate the party NDC, I also believe wholeheartedly that this Arabian knight son of Nkrumah is an imbecile. How could the son of Osagyefo hail the leadership roles of a twice coup maker, albeit justifying the overthrow of his father? Has anyone performed DNA on this goon to ascertain if he's indeed from the loins of Nkrumah? NPP has no place for a SUPER Sir John.

Look, the Supreme Court had ordered the government to retrieve the monies given out dubiously as judgment debt and we are yet to hear any cough coming from the seat of the government about such order. Mahama has no balls because he is knee deep into such shenanigans.

Mahama wasn't prepared for presidency, and that is why. Just like his former Boss not prepared, so is he.

Honestly, most Vice Presidents aren't prepared to step into their bosses shoes. Late Mills and Aliu, Joe Bidden of USA and of course Mahama weren't. If I lie, go and read Mahama's first speech after swearing him in as prez on the death of his boss. "I'm too young, just 54 to head this nation". At 54, how can you be too young? JJ was 33 to lead Gh into this path, he Mahama, has come to inherit. Obama was 46 and Cameron was 42 to lead these powerful countries (US/UK)in the world.

The very day he said that, I knew he lack the leadership skills. Hence, his level of incompetency.

Kosoko, MAHAMA has been in power for 14 months and nothing to show for. Nothing has worked or improved since he has been in the position. Ghanaians don't know what MHAMA's leadership stands for. His "leadership" is more of fire-fighting and FANNING CORRUPTION than anything. BECAUSE MAHAMA'S NATURE AND PERSONALITY EXUDES ONLY CORRUPTION, ONE CANNOT SSOCIATE ANYTHING POSITIVE WITH THE MAN. It is a shame some people try to overlook this obvious these obvious traits about Mahama.

.."At some point, it is not enough to criticize. You need to take that responsibility,” Yes; this is very true, Sekou.
Get it first, and then try to bring about the needed change! Dr. Wole Soyinka of Nigeria said the same thing after realizing that his self-imposed exile and constant criticisms of the past Nigerian military and even Civilian governments (from his comfortable external abode) did not bring about any nedded changes in Nigeria. He regretted having to turn down many offers and invitations to join the then government(s).

I believe it is time for Sekou Nkrumah to form his own party so that he can have the possibility of being a leader who can make things work in order that he Sekou could be described as the best leader in Ghana. Or Sekou better can keep quiet and coperate with any of the parties he believes in, so that in the future with his good qualities he could be chosen as a flagbearer, and then after winning election the people of Ghana will know if he is the best leader or not. Please Sekou remember that it is always said and believe that ''it is easily said than done''

You naturally have right to speak your mind but never let people read you too cheat as many are greatly aware of people who say but never perform. Could you Sekou be realistic to pinpoint the facts that make both Atta Mills and Mahama lack energetic leadership. At this point my genuine analysis of your behavior in politics is thast in real sense you have pure concern and love for our Ghana, but it seem you have carelessly given room to a hidden frustration to take over your conscience hence these rections which in real terms is taking your real man away which will wear you down when the right time comes. Your hidden frustration will also push you to the wall just like Kofi Wayo did push himself to the wall.

When Wayo came to Ghana he miserably failed to study the Ghanaian political arena. He was in love with Ghana thus he could say anything the way he wanted of which along the line his words though good, but the people in Ghana who could vote for him in the future considered those words offensive and deemed them as good words coming out at the wrong time, and from that time onwards every good thing in his political life in Ghana has gone against him. Wayo is a vibriant person but he is politically dead, please, son of my ex precious president Nkrumah, be wise to avoid this catastrophy in your political life. A word to a wise is enough, by the way my statement does not mean you should not analyse people and make conclusions about them. I may not like you to forget yourself that others are as well analysing you very well, and they have their own picture about you too.

Data from the Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank of Ghana has revealed that President John Dramani Mahama has added a whopping GH¢15.6 billion to Ghana’s total public debt stock since being sworn into office as caretaker and substantive President within the period from July 2012 to August 2013.

The Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank of Ghana yesterday revealed that Ghana’s total public debt stock “increased to GH¢43.9 billion (49.5% of GDP) at end of August 2013, from GH¢35.1 billion in December 2012.”

“Of this, the domestic component amounted to GH¢24 billion compared to GH¢18.5 billion in December 2012. External debt stood at US$10.2 billion, up from US$8.8 billion in December 2012,” a report by the committee explained.

However, checks made by the New Statesman further revealed that President John Dramani Mahama is responsible for contracting one-third of Ghana’s total debt stock.

According to the MPC report of September 2012, “The total public debt at the end of July 2012 was GH¢28.3 billion, equivalent to 44.4 per cent of GDP.”

This implies that President John Mahama has contracted a total of GH¢15.6 billion of debt for Ghanaians since becoming the President of Ghana.

Many people have wondered what the impact of these huge loans has been on the lives of Ghanaians, considering the continued labour agitations that have taken place over the last year, the arrears owed to contractors, GETFund, NHIS and other statutory funds.

Ghana’s total debt stock of GH¢43.9 billion means that every Ghanaian, down to a newly born baby, owes a total of GH¢1,688.42.

The increase in the domestic debt component of the total debt stock from GH¢13.7 billion at the end of July 2012 to GH¢24 billion under the Presidency of John Mahama lends credence to the statements made by the economic team of the New Patriotic Party to the effect that the NDC government is competing with the private sector for funds.

Analysts explain that what this means is that government has been competing with and squeezing out private enterprise from borrowing from the banks. Thus, private enterprises cannot access capital to grow their business in order to employ the youth.

Yesterday’s MPC report further stated that total revenue and grants amounted to GH¢10.4 billion, lower than the target of GH¢12.5 billion, mainly as a result of shortfalls in domestic revenue collections and low disbursement of grants.

Of this outturn, domestic revenue totalled GH¢9.8 billion, below the target of GH¢11.6 billion. Total tax revenue amounted to GH¢7.7 billion, lower than the target of GH¢9.1 billion. Grant disbursements were GH¢542 million, falling short of its target by 41.7 percent. Non-tax revenues amounting to GH¢2.1 billion for the period also missed the target by 12.4 per cent.

Total expenditure including clearance of arrears and outstanding commitments amounted to GH¢16.0 billion, lower than the budget target of GH¢17.5 billion.

“The above developments resulted in a fiscal deficit (cash basis) equivalent to 6.3 percent of GDP against a target of 5.6 percent. The deficit was financed mainly from domestic sources, resulting in a Net Domestic Financing (NDF) of GH¢4.4 billion, higher than the budget target of GH¢3.6 billion. Foreign financing of the budget amounted to GH¢1.3 billion, marginally lower than the GH¢1.5 billion target. Financing from Bank of Ghana amounted to GH¢1.0 billion, equivalent to 4.9 percent of projected revenue,” the MPC added.
