WE NEED ACCOUNTABILITY N TRANSPARENCY IN GOVT!
WE NEED CORRUPTION COURTS IN GH NOW!
MAHAMA PAID TO APPEAR ON CNN!!! CNN DIDNT INVITE HIM.
WHY DID MAHAMA GIVE AGGUDEY A PRESIDENTIAL PARDON? FOR WHAT? FOR HIM TO SAVE FACE AND NOT BE DISGRACED?
THIS FOOL WAS SPENDING MONEY THAT WASNT HIS AND WOMANIZING WITH YOUNG LEGON FEMALES. WHERE IS THE MORALITY HERE?
THESE GIRLS COULD HAVE BEEN YOUR SIS TERS, DAUGHTER OR NIECE...YOU KNOW...
ALL THESE THINGS ARE HAPPENENING IN GH, AND YOU EXPECT ME TO SUPPORT GH TO GO TO BRASIL? CMON NOW...
MAHAMA SAYS: LET THEM EAT CAKE....
...TARRIFS ARE GOING UP ALL ACROSS THE BOARD IN GH. YET, WE DONT SEE AN IOTA OF AN IMPROVEMENT IN PUBLIC SERVICES OR QUALITY INFRATSRUCTURE. YOU HAVNT SEEN ANYTHING YET.
ILLITERACY/LACK OF BASIC EDUCATION HAS CAUSED THE PPL TO VOTE OUT OF SHEER EMOTIONS AND ETHNIC JUDGEMENTS.
PUMPING MONEY INTO PUBLIC SERVICE ISNT THE WAY TO GO. ESP IN TODAY'S CASH STRAPPED, TECHNOLOGY INSPIRED WORLD. GOVT MUST STREAMLINE THE PUBLIC SECTOR.
WE HAVE DISTRICT, MUNICIPAL/CITY, REGIONAL AND FEDERAL GOVT . STREAMLINE THE GOVT N REMOVE THESE QUACK/QUASI, USELESS GOVT INSTITUTIONS WHICH EXIST BUT DONT DO ANYTHING TO RENDER EFFICIENT SERVICE OR COLLECT REVENUE.
1.CHECK PUBLIC SECTOR CORRUPTION. INSTITUTE CORRUPTION COURTS!
2.REDUCE PUBLIC SECTOR WAGES.
3.HIRE LESS PPL TO PROVIDE EFFICIENT SERVICE. WE NEED DISCIPLINE, CLEAR OVERSIGHT, CHECK N BALANCES N PATRIOTIC HARDWORKERS IN THE SYSTEM.
4. FACTORIES
GH REVENUE SOURCE: TAXES. LOANS, GRANTS FROM OUTSIDE FOR REVENUE GENERATING VENTURES IN GH. STREAMLINE INDUSTRIES, GOVT...CUT DOWN SPENDING,
WIDEN TAX BASE, EXPORT MORE.
NOT A BUNCH OF THIEVES WHO COME TO STEAL N COLLECT BRIBES! WHO ARE YOU MAKING A MOCKERY OF?...
IN MY BOOK, YOU EITHER DO IT RIGHT. OR YOU GET ELIMINATED.
TOO MANY GH PPL LACK SELF CONFIDENCE AND DONT BELIEVE IN WHO THEY ARE. THEN AGAIN, U CANT BLAME THEM. LOOK AT THEIR SURROUNDINGS..OPEN GUTTERS, MALARIA, FILTH, DIRT EVERYWHERE!
I AM 37 YRS OLD. WE HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH MALARIA SINCE THE DAY I WAS BORN. STILL HAVNT FOUND AN ATIDOTE. WHY?
NO BASIC PLANNING IN GH TO AID TAXATION, AND ADDRESS SYSTEM OR TO CHECK CRIMINAL ACITIVITY. UNLICENSED BUSINESSPPL SELLING FOOD NEXT TO FILTH, I MEAN ITS A SHAME...ITS A SHAME.
SINCE THE DAYS OF METHUSELAH, WE HAVE BEEN WASTING MILLIONS ON MALARIA, WHY?
WAT WILL IT TAKE TO DEVELOP MODERN DRAINAGE SYSTEMS, CLOSED GUTTERS?
LOOK AT BRASIL? THEY HAVE CLAIMED THE MOST WCUPS IN HISTORY BCOS THEY INVESTED IN QUALITY SOCCER INFRSTRUCTURE, STADIUMS ETC.
GO TO ALL OUR GOVT STADIUMS N SEE GARGANTUAN INFRASTRACTURAL DEGRADATION. YOUR SCOREBOARD DOSENT EVEN WORK, BUT U WANT TO GO TO WORLDCUP?
LOOK AT GH. YOU WANT TO GO TO WCUP, BUT LOOK AT YOUR SOCCER INFRSATRUCTURE? IS IT FAIR TO THE OTHER NATIONS IN AFRICA WHO HAVE INVESTED IN
BETTER SOCCER INFRASTRUCTURE, STADIUMS, LEAGUES ETC. TO STAY HOME FOR GH TO QUALIFY AND GO TO BRASIL? HELL NO!
HE WHO CLIMBS A GOOD TREE DESERVES SUPPORT....NOT VICE VERSA. LOOK AT THE QUALITY OF PLAYERS AA HAS INVITED FOR THE WCUP QUALIFIER VS EGYPT?
REALLY?..EVEN OLELE PAID 5000 DOLLARS FOR SELECTION. DO BRASILIAN PLAYERS PAY BRIBES TO GET SELECTION? WAT IS OTOO, JORDAN AYEW, ADOMAH, FRIMPONG DOING HERE?
Now, if you were to open a textbook from years ago, you would have found that natural resources in abundance are a source of growth and wealth for
developing countries, or so it was supposed. Why not?
If you have oil, if you have diamonds, if you have gold and copper, can't these be used to help develop the country?
But if you turn to contemporary textbooks, the first chapter is liable to be about the resource curse, meaning that the revenues from foreign
investment in oil and gas and coal and copper get siphoned off in corruption. billions of dollars are siphoned off every year into THE private pockets of these so called DEMOCRATIC LEADERS.
WHAT A SHAME! There is a lack of transparency. There is a lack of accountability.
if you look at Chile, Peru, Indonesia, Malaysia, these are
countries that have been very successful in using their rich resources TO DEVELOP THEIR NATION. WHY CANT GHANAIAN GOVTS LEARN FROM THEM?
So the question is, how can resources be used to benefit broad economic and social development and avoid the corruption and authoritarian rule?
The key issue is always going to be the local population, the local leadership, the local press, and NGOs, non-governmental authorities that try
to promote openness and transparency. In 2010-2011, Ghana started to export significant quantities of oil.
Is this going to be the best thing that ever happened to Ghana or the worst thing that ever happened to Ghana?
The phenomenon called "Dutch Disease" is also part of the resource curse. THIS means that the exchange rate for the currency of
resource-rich countries becomes overvalued, and this hurts the exports of other industries.
WHAT THIS NDC GOVT IS DOING IS THIS. THEY HAVE DEVALUED THE CURRENCY, SO FOREIGNERS CAN BUY MORE EXPORTING OIL FOR EXPORT, RESOURCES. WHILES THEY STEAL THE MONIES INTO THEIR PRIVATE, FOREIGN
BANK ACCOUNTS. REALLY? IM READY TO START KILLING SOME OF THESE MINISTERS, MPS ETC......
Ghana is NOW like Haiti!!! There was only one airport in Haiti and when the disaster strucked,aid donors HAD it so hard to send humanitarian reliefs because the only one international airport
was destroyed. just imaginING if Ghana is not the same as Haiti??!! Building one international airport in Kumasi has turnED into tribal politics!!#
President John Dramani Mahama has added a whopping GHc15.6 BILLION DOLLARS 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.
This implies that President John Mahama has contracted a total of GHc15.6 BILLION DOLLARS of debt for Ghanaians since becoming the President of Ghana.
WHAT DO WE HAVE TO SHOW FOR ALL THIS DEBT? LOOK AT GH? SMELLY, DUSTY...OPEN GUTTERS I MEAN WHY? HOW? WHO VOTED FOR NDC? GO N CLAIM YOUR SHARE....PLUS AN INCREASE IN WATER, HYDRO TARRIFS ACROSS THE BOARD?
WHEN RICH WESTERN NATIONS ARE PAYING DOWN THEIR DEBTS/NATIONAL DEFICITS. WAT IS GH DOING, U ASK? BORROWING MORE MONEY. WAA LOOK?
IF YOUR STANDARD OF LIVING IS THIS BAD. HOW BAD WILL THE STANDARD OF LIVING FOR YOUR CHILDEREN AND GRANDCHILDREN BE? THINK ABOUT THIS PPL?.....
THIS IS NOT ABOUT NPP OR NDC. ghana is under the most useless leadership of all time,nurses are unpaid for six months ,children are dying of heart failures and asiedu nketia is feasting in streatham london with ghanas money.i pity for those who voted ndc.
A CLASSIC CASE OF FRENCH QUEEN CATHERINE'S "LET THEM EAT CAKE"...WELL, GUESS WHAT TRIGGERED THE FRENCH REVOLUTION? THIS FOOLISH STATEMENT IS WHAT TRIGGERED THE FRENCH REVOLUTION.
GHPPL, RISE UP AND CLAIM YOUR SHARE!
Mr Paul Victor Obeng, has made a strong case for the need to ensure that increasing access to the Internet does not lead to the importation of alien cultures.
“While increasing access to the Internet would improve the socio-economic circumstances, its negative influences call for a concerted effort to counter the bad influence.
Increasing access should not lead us to the importation of attitudes that are incompatible with our social norms,” he said.
WAT IS PV'S PROBLEM? WESTERN NATIONS LIKE CANADA, AMERICA, BRITAIN, GERMANY ETC ALL HAVE INTERNET TECHNOLOGY READILY AVAILABLE FOR THEIR CITIZENS. HAS IT IMPACTED THEIR CULTURE NEGATIVELY?
EVEN BEFORE INTERNET, WE WERE SELLING/THROWING AWAY OUR CULTURE. WAT HAPPENS AT INDEPENDENCE MARCHES IN GH, 6 MARCH. DO WE EVEN POUR LIBATION ANYMORE?

Boil-brained Bature, don't ever compare the great Limann with the corrupt and visionless clown of a Mahama !

The great Limann came to meet an economy that had gone on its knees from the greed of military adventurists and finally paralysed by the gangsters and terrorists of the AFRC, but within a year, the hard-working Hilla Limann was able to flood the Ghanaian markets with everything Ghanaians needed and end the shortages that the gangsters and terrorists of the AFRC left behind.

Unlike clueless and heartless John Mahama, who spent a million dollars on in-flight entertainment for the presidential jet and made a fortune by overpricing airforce planes by over 200% and benefitted from the Armajaro cocoa scandal, Dr.Hilla Limann never benefitted from any sleeze.

Hilla Limann, a true democrat that he was, he never banned demonstrations during his tenure.

Can that be said of John Mahama(first president of Maaaame Ghana with 24 children from 13 women) ?

Go to movinpick hotel, the ministries, agencies and departments and you will realise it is Mahama's own Northern, upper East and upper west brothers and sisters who are running him down.
They report to work late, and leave very early because one of their own is now in power.
Look at GETFUND, GYEEDA, SADA and other projects headed by Northerners and see the kinds of rot over there.
Some of them are based at Movinpick hotel and collect as much as one hundred and fifty thousande (150,000) Ghana cedis from foreign businessmen in order to take them to the Flagstaff house.
The rot is becoming too much from the North

Politics cannot be built on tribal bases and on emotional factors and this is exactly Ghanaians did in time of election and we have got the receipt of what we went through.This will serve a lesson to all.If Ghanaians avoid adoring their marinett politicians as God and make them know why they are in parliament,there will be a drastic chance to country development.People like Kuffour , Rawlings, etc those old faces in Ghanaian politics should be sent to pension and allow the young ones to take positoins and Ghanaians will realise a change.

'What utter piffle!' was my first reaction to your tribalist tripe and I thought I shouldn't dignify it with a response. But I should respond, if only to emphasise the truths you chose to ignore. The ministries, agencies and departments are populated by southerners; there's only an insignificant percentage of northerners within that population. Therefore, their lateness to work wouldn't be a northerner (only) disease. Ghana reports late to work. Poor timekeeping is a national disease, not a northerner disease. Lateness isn't peculiar to northerners. Moreover, if you look at the persons and the ownership of the companies raping Ghana in judgment debts and look further at those companies notorious for paying huge bribes, you will not find northerners to feature in a significant way. So why is it northerners letting down our country? Besides, if corruption is a national albatross around our nation's neck, as no one would dispute, why would northerners be exempt from it? Corruption is not more northern than it is southern. On the contrary, actually, the most commendable singular action against corruption was undertaken by the noblest of Ghanaians, Mr Martin Amidu - a northerner. Does Mr Amidu's act of nobleness and integrity make all northerners stand taller than the rest of us? No, it makes Mr Amidu only to stand taller. But Martin Amidu does typify the integrity, honesty and sincerity of the northerner. As an individual, Sam Garba at GetFund is way out of your league and there isn't a single soul of your ilk who can possibly match Mr Garba in either integrity or patriotism. If you have evidence to the contrary, I dare you to spill it. And, by the way, the GetFund under Sam Garba was the best thing that happened to both the NDC and Ghana in the last few years. Your allegation of money changing hands between northerners and foreign businessmen is just as implausible as it's fictitious. Your viewpoint is unfair, biased against northerners and tribalistic. If President Mahama fails, Ghana - not the north - fails.

What a shame on the presidency with the only northeners in his office and in his cabinets. Is this govt a tribal one for governemt business? The real names of the persons in his cabinet and the presidential staffers say it all. Why is this happening in Ghana? This shows that John Dramani Mahama is on the rampage and very hostle.He has no leadership qualities and management skills at all. Where is the NDC party member-based in the mist of presence of all this tribal gestures? How briliant could the only- northeners could exhibit in development struggle of a third world nation like Ghana?

Adams, the Office of the President won't give out wrong information. Mr Collins Dauda is from Brong Ahafo where he also represents his people as MP. In your list you've included career police officers who've risen to the top of their profession. Patrick Timbillah, for example, graduated from the University of Ghana, Legon, in 1983. He's entitled to have risen to the pinnacle as he has. So is the IGP for his years in the police service. Alhaji Ziblim Yakubu has over 30 years in the Civil Service. Is it your submission that he hasn't deserved his progression and earned his current position? You consider 7 cabinet ministers (from 3 regions) in our government the northernisation of the government? I could make a list of 50 or even 100 persons from 3 Akan southern regions to prove inclusion and inclusiveness in the current NDC government of Ghana. But I'd be conducting myself like you lot and falling into the morass of discrimination, differentiation, prejudice, tribalism and hate in the gutter in which you wallow. Of all the ministerial, parastatal (board and agency), departmental positions in Ghana, a total of 41 northerners 'NORTHERNISES' the government of Ghana?

YOUR JOKE IS A SICK ONE, A JAUNDICED, PREJUDICED ONE PREGNANT WITH DISCRIMINATION AND HATE. YOU HAVE AS YOUR AGENDA TRIBALISM AND SUPREMACY (TRIBE SUPERIORISM) WHICH CANNOT, MUST NOT AND WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO STAND. NORTHERNERS HAVE A RIGHT TO BE IN GOVERNMENT AS SOUTHERNERS DO. GONJAS, DAGOMBAS, DAGAABAS, WAALAS, KUSASIS ET AL HAVE THE RIGHT TO POSITIONS IN ANY GOVERNMENT OF GHANA AS DO ASHANTIS, KROBOS, NZEMAS, EWES, GAS AND ALL OTHER TRIBES. The idea that a Kwabena Owusu-Appiah of a Kofi Agyeman Baddoo is more entitled or better-suited to a board position than Ismail Adam or Bukari Dakurigu has no place in contemporary affairs in Ghana and must be condemned and resisted by all well-meaning or/and fair-minded Ghanaians. The Akadu Mensemas of Ghanaweb and this commentator (to whom I'm responding) and all those others who'll gather a number of northern names and make a tribalist case against the President John Mahama out of that are unqualified tribalists who care nothing about Ghana but the supremacy of their own tribe group. And all they seek is the pervasion of their tribesmen in all positions of authority and to see their language as Ghana''s lingua franca.

Some reliable sources have hinted that some NDC leading members and politicians of the present government have secretly bought houses in Vaughan near Toronto and also in Edmonton, Alberta areas. These houses as sources say are fully paid for. Lets face it when did they come to power or assume their political office positions? Also how much have they saved in the bank from their honest salaries to afford such houses which ranges in price from $550,000-$750,000 (Canadian dollars) and they are said to be fully paid for? I therefore urge all and every concerned Ghanaian in Toronto areas and also in Edmonton metropolitan areas to investigate and find out of the whereabouts of these houses in Vaughan and in Edmonton areas. If possible report them to Transparency International for formal investigation into the daylight robberies and corruption by the present Ghana government officials. These monies are monies that belong to the poor Ghanaian, the vulnerable and our suffering mothers, fathers,brothers and sisters we have left back home. How long should we stand at the sidewalks and look on to the stealing and the looting while majority of Ghanaians' back home are suffering day after day? These practices are the reasons why the west and the developed nations are deciding not to support Ghana anymore with the budgetary support allocations. Moreover the world donors of aids to Ghana are reviewing their decisions as to why they should donate to Ghana when the monies are not used to develop in infrastructures, hospitals, roads, schools,and employment creations to benefit the poor citizens of Ghana.Lets face it, the economic hardship or devastation in Ghana now is just the beginning.

First of all John Mahama is an African, a Ghanaian then a northerner. Stop this tribal card and lets move on as one nation, one people with a common destiny.

John Mahama may not be vocally dynamic but that is cool in the present circumstances. A firebrand is what we least need at the moment.

I think, Mahama should be given a chance to rule. Needless to say, he must put a 5-10 years development plan in action. All he needs to do is to take the good old SYDP and work around it with a modern twist and besides revamp the industries and SOE's Kwame Nkrumah had in place and surely history will be kind to him.
The Axioms (ideas & ideals) more than ever still relevant today. I don't know why various Ghanaian leaders shy away from continuing where Nkrumah left. If you come to think of the Ghana medical school performing surface heart surgery in 1964 and Atomic physicist being trained Kwabenya Atomic energy which was also completed also in 1964-1965 with the purpose coming out with various modern products from crop resistant for our agriculture to modern products like which Du Pont produces today then one could tell the extent of ramifications and collateral damage the 1966 coup had on Ghana. Stop preaching doom and gloom scenario for John Mahama. President Mahama will prevail against all odds.

Nkrumah lives! We still face forward. Long live Maame/Daavi Ghana in economic Freedom and social Justice.

How many times already has the coward chickened from mentioning Nkrumah to appease the opposition already? The boy is a big time wimp with the testicles of an obscene cat. A true post independent will soon emerge reminiscent of the GREAT ONE. Do you remember the seed he said he had sown? It has germinated indeed! Stay tuned. While would a vice now president be so clueless and uncertain? Northerner presidency is been scurrilous at best.

They were never friends since they came together as party members. To my dumpy so call brothers, learn to control your dystrophy and thrumming hearts.
These Akan bastards lost in court now they want to start something with doubled dignity. The vital constituents of Mahamas led government are in concentrically conditions. Yes!!, there are some little charming points in your observation but too early to be held in high esteem.
Mahamas, few months in office is already causing some indigestions amongst his party members.So be it guys go form your party.

I don't think this has anything to do with a Northerner Presidency. Even if Nkrumah was President with his visionary attributes, he would have failed in this condition. The biggest problem now facing Ghana is the amount of money used to pay government employees. If you use 74% of your budget for salaries and about 15 to 20% to service interest on loans, you are virtually left with nothing to carry developmental projects. Nkrumah had more than 200 million pounds in 1957 to play with which subsequent administrations didn't have. Nkrumah too given the present circumstances would not have been successful.

Conditional tenses are not my best although I sometimes use them. Were Nkrumah to be here today with the present educated population things would have been a lot better. Look back in Nkrumah's era only 5-10 percent of our populace could be termed as somewhat educated. Given the present circumstances I should like to think that Nkrumah would have done far better. SARP, please stop underrating the intelligence of the mastermind. Nkrumah is in a different league above us all.

Nana Ansah, your unflinching support for Ndc and disgust against Npp has blinded you to see reality. Mahama is not going to succeed as a President because like a bird which wings are clipped, Mahama has two things working against him.

First, despite him haven been a Parliamentarian and a Vice President, he was not prepared for the Presidency because he is an intellectual midget and the CNN faux pas is a clear example.

Secondly, the passing of the SSSS salary policy has starved this administration of funds to continue or start any infrastructure development or funding of government agencies like GYEEDA, NHIS, SADA and others to function properly.

No government on God's green earth can function properly when you are using 74% of your budget to pay government workers. USA use less than 5% of its budget to pay federal workers and even Europe with some governments tilted towards socialist policies on average use less than 10% of its budget on government workers.

Even no business can survive with a salary expenditure of 74%. Most businesses cap salary expenditure at 25% to make the venture successful.

I wrote an article at the beginning of Mahama's administration that predicted a Limann like government. I goofed badly. This administration is 100 times worse than Limann.

Goodness gracious me! Barima SARP What's up? Quite amazing that you pigeon-hole me into the NDC party because I ask that Mahama should be given time to operate. Sarp, you are being inconsiderate here but I know you to be gracious . After nine months of bogus petition brakes, President Mahama is actually now beginning to rule. And you know where I belong so why this cynical joke. Joke aside, it was all along a tug of war and Akufo Addo finally blinked after the SC ruling.

Well SARP, President Mahama is officially not a year in office so let us wait and see. The tallyman comes at the end of his tenure. We will judge him by his pratical and pramatic performance not what self-made political pundits say.

Anyway, great to have you back on the Ghanaweb show. Ghana is a drama. Dramani no drama!

This obvious and rather veiled attempt at inviting, inciting and insinuating and actually raising issues of tribal and ethnic sentiments is grossly myopic and without merit.
Firstly, the NDC party cannot take Ghanaians for fools. You don't kill to retain power at all cost, you don't steal to retain power at all cost, you don't bribe to retain power at all cost and when having done all these to retain power, you unleash an unprecedented, mindboggling, legendary, grossly amazing levels of sheer incompetence, humongous and crass levels of ineptness and ineptitude, an unbridled and monumental levels of non-achieving and visionless leadership bordering on insanity, a rather overbearingly nauseating and stinking levels of corruption, thievery and looting of the national kitty, very high and marked levels of abrasive sycophancy, all at the expense of the socio-economic advancement of the country, when the country during the 8 years the NPP were in power had done a yeoman's job at putting the country on a very solid, firm and robust foundation ala lower middle income status, all within a short time span of 8 years, which effects are being eroded with the alacrity of a meteorite, and postulate such nonsense about " it being a curse as a northerner becoming a President".
Ghanaians are far very much more astute than you take them for Bature, and they know indeed, where the country needs to be headed, which is seriously not happening under the Mahama-Amissah Arthur administration.

Being a northerner himself the writer digressed to play the tribal card; well enough. I am old enough to remember Dr. Linman's inertia as a president. JJ Rawlings, supported by the likes of the late arch-tribalist Awoonor took care of that. However, the writer should have been explicit in what Mahama is not doing right that has led some people ganging up against him.
The economy and corruption dictate popularity of leaders across the world and I think Mahama has not shown any leadership skills in both areas. If he gets these right Ghanaians would vote for him again but until then he must (as you said) be looking over his shoulders.

NDC have no good policies to transform the fragile Ghanaian economy into a viable one.Their policies are so outdated,fraudulent and without a substance.It,s very very unfortunate that some Ghanaians due to mass illiteracy or sycophancy should vote this good for nothing political party into power.TERRIBLE,TERRIBLE AT THE HIGHEST POINT.Where are their good economic policies.Our cedi is falling at an increasing rate, our roads and other infratructures are so bad and no expansion,massive unemployment,corruption and bribery etc etc.This has been the norm of this terrible party right from its formation by a military junta-JJ RAWLINGS.His successors have followed his BUGABUGA MA TRY MAKWE POLICIES with no substance at all.This has really devastated our economy.Thank God pres. Kuffour came in to intervene and redeem it for 8 years other than that ,we will be sinking deep into abject poverty .FELLOW GHANAIANS MAHAMAH AND HIS NDC HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING BETTER TO OFFER GHANA AND HER PEOPLE PARIOD.

This article is not based on facts but emotions. Liman was a victim of his own making. He had the opportunity to rid himself of Rawlings. Further his own Northern boys did him in. Akata Pore, Chris Atim, Ndebugre and others who he trusted became conduits to Rawlings and facilitated his removal by the Ewe cabal led by the Tsikatas. Mahama is just up to the task. Liman was but his people did not help him.

You have forgotten what NDC did in opposition eh? It is not NPP giving NDC wahala but Ghanaians, we all dey inside dey suffer. Not all Ghanaians are blinded by politics and demonstrate a herd mentality like you Gbevu. NDC have played the tribal card against NPP since 2000.

Look around you, what is going well in present Ghana? Everyday we wake up to mismanagement of state resources, everyday million of dollars and cedis are used for dubious projects and consultants and payments. NDC needs NPP to help pull this economy upwards, those with power and appontments in NDC are deadwood, we live in a very sophisticated global market that needs people with vision and intelligence to manage the economy, not these hopeless Ablakwas, Fifi Kwertey etc. If Ghana was President Mahama's own business, would he appoint Ablakwa as the deputy CEO of his business? No way, so why does he think he is good for Ghana? Ghana will continue to sink until the President opens his eyes and starts appointing COMPETENT people to manage the economy.

You remember Bawumia during the IEA encounter warned Ghanaians that NDC did not understand those policies on SADA, GYEEDA, Single spine, NHIS, School feeding etc, all these policies introduced by the previous administration have been wrongly implemented or messed up by this crop of NDC people. The only thing they won't mess up is flag staff house where they sit and enjoy the cool facilities and all the internal attractions it comes with.
We are slowly but surely heading to pre 2000 election Ghana where life was hell and the cedi was worthless.

How come those in the diaspora were rushing home during NPP rule with confidence to invest in Ghana but with NDC people are repatrating their wealth. Shine your eyes and stop the tribal politics and accusations. It is not helping Ghana.

I'm not a supporter of any political party in the Country;just a well-meaning Ghanaian.
Journalists and all those who writes articles for public consumption should endeavor to give a true picture of what actually happened.
It's' not the truth that Dr Hilla Liman's CPP
govt did anything wrong as you tried to print
to warrant a Coup.
Transportation problems in the Country was
an eyesore.Therefore,Dr Liman tackled
transport as a first step to build the nation
and to get Ghana back on track or to its
former glory after series of Virulent Military
junta's which grounded the Country to it's
kneels.
Dr Liman's CPP administration bought Ghana
a new commercial aircraft carrier,new Buses
to replaced worn out fleets that never
reached the destination without a break downloading half way the trip, for State
Transport Corp.Replenished OSA
buses,Opened a new Transport Company
TATA BUS which goes to remote Villages
across the country,and also gave jobs to a lot of people,bought about 6 new Ships for Collapsed BLACK STAR LINES including the big "Sisila Rriver" which brought back to our embrace,Sisters and Brothers expelled from neighboring Nigeria etc.All within a short period of time among other.Mr Harry Sawyer was CPP Minister of Transport in Dr Hilla Liman govt at the time.
What this writer doesn't know is that,Rawlings Coup against the CPP govt was uncalled for and one of the most Unpopular on the Continent of Africa then.The takeover was purely based on Greediness and nothing short of that.Again,do you know that during the inception of Ghana's Democratic rule,when Rawlings was the president a well participated Continental and international Conference was organized in Ghana at the Golden Tulip Hotel in Accra,to study the impact of Coups on the African Continent.Ghana's Coup was used as a Text (subject) case.It was HELD(legal term) that Rawlings coup which toppled the democratically elected Dr Hilla Liman's CPP govt was not necessary.The CPP administration did nothing wrong that should attract a coup.Rawlings Staged for no reason
either that he could do it for doing sake.He was the president at the time what did he said
So don't twist or try to rewrite history.

Abeiku Santana doesn't know what he talked about! Rawlings like any other person is not a Saint.If you're a Head of State and you said friends were taking care of your Children
Education outside the Country,and your Wife takes over some Factories on divestiture without paying for them,what is the name given to that."Kleptomania" Cronyism,Thefts, Corruption, or is it simply grassroots participation !
Yes, it was true that Dr Liman ignore security alerts to him on the fact that he did not expected Rawlings to be a diabolical person as Rawlings became a friend to him and regularly visited him Liman.
Dr Hilla Liman's CPP administration did nothing wrong !.

I mean, if we had wanted a Government of Abosey-Okai spare parts graduates who just increase prices to solve problems, then there would have been no need to remove the NPP from power. NPP was removed from power because we felt that the NDC have men to think and solve pressing problems but what Mahama is doing is baffling. He wants to take blows for the elite and corporations of this world. NDC in opposition never countenanced on that. We were oriented towards the poor and would die for them, became their mouthpiece yet all of sudden in power under the current leader, the poor is being made to suffer for the comfort of the elite and corporations of this world. This is strange. We are turning our backs on the people whose sweat, blood and loyalty made us who we are today.

Talk about NITA(National Information Technology Agency)and all the work from this national agency is going to one company call ROM CONSULT.What about the rest of companies that contributed to the success of the great NDC.The earlier this situation is rectify,the better it will be for this administration.Good work done Al-Hajj.

wow!! hate hate venom hate. Nkrumah did us proud, Busia,.. hmmmm. Limann didn't even get the chance to say bye bye. Jerry John was getting high in the corner whilst checking out the latest AK-12. Mahama's problem is that his vision is not being shared, his team has blown the money and are looking for the stealers. Kufour showed how it could be done for all to smile. But now, the accountants are hiding the money and meanwhile opana is grabbing fans by posing in front of CNN sign post. As far as he is concerned, he has not done anything wrong. Outside, your own uncle has sold your inheritance to some Chinese and Americans but when they saw the pump action, they run. On 5th floor, Ablakwa, sir john and co are having their nose hairs trimmed in style. on 9th floor, Mosquito is holding his hands in the air yelling mene sane neh ? 4th floor and the judges are on holiday saying not my plablem. 1st floor and all the teachers, doctors and nurses are on strike. today the universities have joined the fray. Ground Floor. Ground Floor is very interesting. Somebody from psychiatry department said UP NUTS and everybody stood up. He shouted DOWN NUTS and everybody sat down. Then this voice said PEA NUTS, then all hell break loose. General Acheampong woke up and shouted - Me Y3 Nyame? I am writing a book on all Ghana leaders since Ghana was formed after our ancestors left Kumbi Sale. On Ghanaweb, it says we have been trading in Gold since pre-colonial age (AKA 4000 BC!) This is going to be one fantastic movie.
