No money but yet, you keep appointing more ministers & paying them to do absolutely nothing. I've never heard of schools asking parents to pay light bills. Ghana have sunk this low. Smh.

Prez Mahama, you have so disappointed me and I feel sad that you have virtually given 2016 to the cocaine barons. Please send your Ministers, deputies,spokesmen to and let them report nothing but the truth to you. Why are you doing what you are doing? Do you understand these cruel decisions you are taking? I am disappointed. I told one of your Ministers who is a friend that you have surrounded yourself inexperienced or incompetent men. I think I am right. Why should you give so much boneless meat to the cocaine barons? Do you know the havoc they are going to wreak on us if they should come back?

A shrewd consensus president will put the welfare of its citizens above all others. President Joyce Banda is such a person I admired. She cut back on the size of her govt including their salaries & that of her own and sold the presidential jet. Her reasons.. to help the poor in her country and save the country's budget. Can we say that about our selfish and greedy leaders? How on earth can you ask parents to pay electric bill for school.

I love to see how people are suffering under this ruthless and careless government. Next time when voting, Ghanaians should use commonsense to vote out this useless government out of power. NDC came to destroy. They labeled themselves as "social democrats yet, they are the worse thing ever to rule Ghana. They are withdrawing all subsidies just to have enough money to fill the pocket.

NPP is not good but comparing them to NDC, I think this is the worse government ever to rule Ghana but as I said earlier, Ghanaians should shut up and suffer under NDC. Governing is not about propagating lies. It is a matter of putting the priorities of the nation ahead of your personal interest. Mahama and his gangs are destroying Ghana and before they leave, the treasury will be dried.

So where is the nation heading to now? What Tony Aidoo once said seems to be true, that "...there are no think tanks in Ghana now." Are we going to sit down for our schools too to be paralyzed or we should heed to Gen. Nunoo Mensah's call to pick our passports and leave Ghana if we cannot stay under this present economic hardships? Definitely parents are going to react strongly against any move to inflate school bills with utility tarrifs.

I think,it's unfair for the SOUTHERNERS' PARENTS TO BEAR HIGH COST OF SCHOOL FEES,WHILST THE NORTHERNERS,STILL ENJOY,FREE EDUCATION.
Parents of the SOUTHERNERS ARE SUFFERING TOO MUCH,AND IT'S ABOUT TIME,MAHAMA CONSIDERS,MAKING THE NORTHERNERS ALSO PAY SCHOOL FEES.
KWAME NKRUMAH,who gave these NORTHERNERS THE PRIVILEGE FOR FREE EDUCATION,did it because of poverty and may be,their unwillingness to pursue knowledge in education.
Now,the northerners are not poor any more.
MAHAMA & HIS BROTHER ARE DAMN RICH.
On the question of education/knowledge acqisition,I think,they are now above what we call uneducated entity.
HOW?
There are more NORTHERNERS AS MINISTERS IN OUR GOVERNMENT NOW,WITH THE PRESIDENT,BEING ONE OF THEM.
If you would recall,in the PRESIDENTIAL RACE DEBATE,NANA AKUFO ADDO,was the only contestant,who wasn't a NORTHERNER.
THAT IS MY PROOF
MY QUESTION IS,if MAHAMA as a NORTHERNER,is the PRESIDENT OF GHANA,a nation,which is suffering too much,in the midst of plenty,yet his own ethnic group,is still enjoying FREE EDUCATION ,at the detriment,expense of the SOUTHERN PARENTS' TOIL,isn't about time we say:
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH,FOR THESE NORTHERNERS TO BE LEFT TO ENJOY THESE PRIVILEGE UNABATED?THAT IS NOT FAIR.

I think,it's about time,the SOUTHERNERS SHOULD BLOW THEIR TRUMPET,IN THE EARS OF THE PRESIDENT,WE ARE TOO TIRED NOW,AND ALSO NEEDS SOME REST.
WHAT ONE FAILS TO COMPLAIN:
GROWS,NURTURES,FLOURISHES,COMPOUNDS TILL IT BECOMES SO INFLATED,AND AN UNCONTROLLED RAGING FORCE,TO THE POINT OF EXPLODING,LIKE A DYNAMITE,THAT CHANGES AND REARRANGE THINGS,TO HIS OWN DETRIMENT.

SOUTHERNERS PARENTS,
LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD.
BECAUSE YOU ALSO BELONG.

I am with my children in TORONTO, CANADA,but I think,it's not fair,for our parents in the SOUTHERN GHANA,TO BE CHEATED FOR TOO LONG.

Now the truth is prevailing for Ghanaian to see things for themselves. A government that can not even pay light bill for the same institutions they past through and enjoyed everything free are now saying parents should take that cost with the current economic hardship.Them I wonder how the same government which promised Ghanaian just last year to build 200SHS, Airport in every region and has already appointed ministers for such projects and pays those ministers for no work done in the first year. In fact I will join the labour union in their demo even though am not a member. shame!!!!!!!!!! Bawa from Navrongo

Well, it's all part of everything that was in motion when election fraud was "rubber-stamped" Justice Atuguba and his gang of Justices. What do Ghanaians expect to happen? People are seeing with their own naked eyes how ballot cheating can be so deadly. There's nothing people can do except to call for the removal of the "Aplanke Prez" or wait until 2016 when there will be another chance to vote. It's so sad....but well, that's all there is to experience right now. Just chill!!!!

Kwaku, Mahama is no where near a PhD. I agree that the free education in the North needs to end. I know many children in the South who could not go to secondary schools because their parents could not afford.

if mahama is taking subsidies from schools, i think it would be better for him to cut free subsidies to mp's, like free petrol, loans to buy cars, free accomodation and all those allowances. i think this is a gov't which claims to be socially democratic, this is a classic example of animal farm. the people tighten their belts and gov't officials loosen their belts. oh mother ghana. that is so when you put a person suppose to be weeding in charge of affairs oh mother ghana. this president doesn't care b'cos he knows most of his supporters the northerners and they don't go to school and those who go don't pay. if ghana is so hard, then do away with the free education for the northerners hope the northern schools would also pay for their light bills. ghana rise up and stop this nonsense.

Hopefully this does not result in chaos as in the case of Brazil, Egypt, Syria and elsewhere worldwide. I heartfully hope our leaders are really learning form such issues inother countries. When there is avenues for redress citizenry has no choice but to demonstrate. Even in the days when there was no oil in Ghana some of those in power now were able to enjoy free education, one bedroom accomodation at the universities including maid services. What is the proble now even though we have discovered oil. My job with the US gov't has taken me to many countries and my layman simple observation is that leaders in Ghana lack the ability and capability to harness all our resources into a concerted national development plan. It's all about personal fame, family and self. If not how can they justify such historical inrement in tarrifs of basic necessities when citizenry were already suffering under the previous cost. In nany case does any of these 'leaders' (leaders in commas b'cos I don't see them as such) feel any of these pain? ABSOLUTELY NOT. i KNOW SOME Squeller (as in Animal Farm) will come and defend/justify why the PIGS should eat apples, drink milk and eat eggs even though the Ten Commandments of Animal say otherwise.
Ghanains, I believe the time has to rise again.
