There's no excuse for ineptitude and there should be no excuse for unintelligence, when the time comes for you to vote in 2016, because, they would come at you with a lot of such excuses. Reject them and kick them out.

here we go again with the theater of propaganda tricks making it appear they want to do the right thing by criticizing themselves , its all lies , dont fall for the hype .we respected the call for a truce after they came crying to us to give the pepeni some slack and stop calling him kwasea which he is and aboa which is also a known fact . when they saw we were quiet they went back to blaming the innocent for their own incompetence and lack of any plan or idea of how to move things forward which we already knew they would do . instead they rain the airwaves with their vomit and feces claiming that some petition was the cause of their non performance and their inability to recognize the Akans or better put the fantis supposedly gave them a third of the vote but not a single cabinet minister is a fanti. they rob the 800,000 Akan cocoa farmers of their money by not paying them the true value of their produce but less than half to keep them in poverty. they say they fight corruption but every pepeni is running around selling time with the president for 500 cedis to 5 million dollars . they have put so much fear in the civil servants with their bullying and bossing around that healthy decisions can no be made rather foolish ideas and wishful thinking are commonplace . everywhere you go Chinese , Indians , Turkish , Brazilians and Arabs led by the Lebanese raping our economy dry . the result being the Akans are now politically one although the gap between the fantis and ashantis is still there due to the mistrust and selfishness of some. the revolution or war to rid ourselves of this pepeni/ayigbe pestilence is around the corner so we work diligently to prepare , long live the republic of Akan

Tell me, how many enemies do we have at this time to warrant the purchase of this system? Please, we need money for our utilities-energy and water. We need money to build good roads, improve our schools and health system and others. I don't think this information system is a priority at this time. Ghana has no enemy. Please parliament, think about utility and the people first.

Surely there is no difference between the NDC and NPP. They both get into power to CHOP our monies waa waa. Afterall it is OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY not theirs. These same parliamentarians see such contracts as BIG FISHES and, depending on who is in power, they either seal their mouths or shout. WHAT A ROTTEN COUNTRY?

A million thanks to the NPP Members of the House for championing the interest of Ghana, and THANK YOU Barton Oduro for letting your colleagues know that NDC Members of Parliament need not be RUBBER STAMPS when matters are referred to them for approval by an NDC Government. The national interest must always supersede Party interests. SHAME on those NDC MPs and the Minister of Communications who wanted the Loan to be approved in spite of the serious flaws in the Supply Contract. If Mahama were to be a serious President, you Mr. Edward Kofi Omane Boamah should lose your Ministerial position today. You do not deserve to be Minister if you do not see the need to protect the national interest.

Healthy debate and argument makes a healthy country. Barton ODURO has leant his mistakes in following NDC blindly in as far as contracts and abrogation of contracts are concern. Exercise your God given calling as as a christian first, a Lawyer second and thirdly a politician and you will not depart from the truth.

This the true state of affairs in parliament.This government just bully its way with their numbers.There are simply to many I concur parliamentarians and too many who do not even understand the proceedings to the extend that they are only limited to raising their hands to support any motion.Yes,so called honourables with JSS education levels handling the affairs of the country.No wonder monies are constantly being thrown over the counter.

Honourable Minister why this type of contract - no contractual obligation on the part of the contractor? And you are proud to bring such a contract for Parliament approval! You talk of addressing the concerns after the approval - quite very interesting! When you were writing your doctoral thesis if your supervisor saw a very important omission and advised you to correct that before his approval of your thesis, would you have told him to go ahead and approve the document and after that you would address his concern? Please for the interest of Ghana and the calibre of person you are, DON'T GIVE YOURSELF TO ANY FORM OF MOCKERY AND SUSPICION OF KICK-BACK!!!

THANK YOU MR ACTING SPEAKER FOR STOPPING THE APPROVAL UNTIL THE CONCERNS ARE PROPERLY ADDRESSED. LET US STRIVE TO SERVE MOTHER GHANA AND NOT OUR INDIVIDUAL INTERESTS.

GOD BLESS GHANA. LONG LIVE GHANA.

Looks like the MPs are now waking up to their responsibilities. Enough of the waste in the system.

Ordinary Ghanaians are suffering and there needs to be accountability from the top for people to believe that decisions taken are for the benefit of the ordinary folks out on the streets. Not for someone to pocket 3% Finder's Fee on such loans.

"He indicated that if the loan was approved, those concerns would be addressed later."

Firstly, does this gov't realize how much money it's spending. This country is in serious debt, and yet we are borrowing money left and right....and to do what? A $123.4 million system that does what exactly? HOW!!!! Fixing the water shortage, electricity, building railways, etc, gov't does nothing, but this they want to do

Secondly, what kind of country do we live in where an obviously badly written contract is "encouraged" to be passed so we can fix it later. Are we fools?! Fix the contract first instead of trying to get your kickback chop corruption money from the Chinese minister! Shame on you
