Dramani Mahama does not need to throw more dust into the eyes of the Ghanaian People, by confusing himself with a highest level of deceit, lies, dishonesty, thievery, incompetency and total corrupt plus economical chaotic
mentality, Ghanaian People knew he is a hopeless President wearing corruption garment.

It is the people of Ghana who will be
credible to evaluate he Mahama and his
NDC bunch of criminal and corrupt Ministers and their monkey supporters
coupled with his puppet administration.

The Minister does not read anything and also can't devise a plan and execute it to improve the lot of Ghanaians. There are books and documentaries that curious Ministers can read and apply the ideas to serve the country. This lot don't read. He believes some fetish is doing the Abandze plant and he is ready to make crazy statements about our oil in relation to I.Coast. Who appointed him Minister?

what a wonderful govt , we have all these compulsory fasting and holidays for these pepeni Muslims and its only now they remember we are predominately christian . no matter what we shall ban this menace Islam soon as they are a minority and in any normal country there would not be that much emphasis on Islamic holidays , gay rights or unbalance domination of minority ethnic / tribal groups in govt and govt institutions. we welcome ken agyapong as a leader and maybe if they are lucky nana addo may come in as his vice but personally i would prefer he takes an Akan radical nationalist as his vice since he himself is very liberal and moderate . Ghana belongs to the Akans and all those who dont want to be a part of it we would gladly save our money and give them their independence or autonomy .these pepeni/ayigbe fools we unhappy with prof eduboahen , kuffuor ,mills, nana addo and any Akan leader but when a new one arises the previous one who was considered inappropriate all of a sudden becomes more palatable . today these ndc idiots are all crying for alan cash and nana addo the moment they seen ken agyapong on the horizon coming in his full Akan glory. when ken is reject then perhaps a true hard core radical loyal to the akan cause will arise and then i will be appointed head of police or national security. then we shall see a change in the ratio , then 9 out of 10 convictions for various crimes of corruption and theft will be non Akans the rest will be those who treacherously betrayed us . we shall also see the exodus of the non Akans , the destruction of non Akan businesses and the general atmosphere and climate will be that all non Akans are criminals and should be shunned or denied and participation in crucial national affairs . yes we shall have our revenge and justice . no more free education for them , only for us . no more privatization of Akan resources to foreigners and those whose agenda is to undermine the Akan economy like we see with the gold industry and 10 billion every year leaving the country as we shall nationalize and redistribute to all our citizens. jj will meet the firing squad as he so rightly deserves . pepeni's father we hear was carrying toilet in nima before nkrumah made him a minister so we understand his intellectual deficiency and incompetence as his father couldnt give him love or buy him toys so he has because an envious , womanizing son of a bitch with sodomizing tendencies and greed beyond comprehension . then is coming soon as his days are numbered and will surely be held accountable for his non action in development and his deep seated corruption and evil soul .

There has been too much talk about - Performance Appraisal of Minister. Appraisal which is the last phase of Performance Management Cycle can not be objectively and effectively conducted without considering the the first four phases:
.Performance Planning
.Performance Development
.performance Review
.Training & Coaching

Which is key to the performance management cycle.Folks, lets take a deep breath and evaluate what was put in place after the appointments of the ministers under the categories above before we can even understand Know, and talk about what is being appraised.

The current ongoing exercise is flawed in my Judgement.

If John "Aplanke Prez" Mahama can live by his word, by terminating the appointments of under-performing ministers in his cabinet, then that'll be a milestone in Ghana's political history. Let's hope this isn't the same rhetoric as has been he case since time immemorial. We're just watching how he'll sack first in his incompetent govt.

This shows the level of villainy in Ghana that even a news outlet would sink this low.

This energy minister has been the most innovative and hardworking of all energy ministers, whether they like him or not.

But what is the Government's overall energy policy? Enegry covers oil and gas, rural electrification, control of carbon emissions and a host of national and international issues. The problem in Ghana is so many people have illegal tapping into the local distribution grid. And most people and business do not pay the correct tariffs. Everybody wants freebies. It is the Governments overall energy policy initiative or policy, that is they have any, that must be under scrutiny and not this box ticking from the President's office. ACTION NOT WORDS

This ignoramus and thief used to work in the post office delivering mail in Maryland. H e was made a minister due to pressure from his chiefs because they claim oil production is in the western region. He moved the location of the gas plant to a land which he owned and sold to the government at an exorbitant price. He and Sipa THROUGH A SURROGATE IN HOUSTON, a short man, overpriced the gas plant and received kickbacks from the equipment suppliers. He is nothing but a thief and an ignoramus.

If the story about kickbacks is true, why not have him investigated,

For many Ghanaians the ministry has done extremely well under the circumstances. The minister had personally, tirelessly, sought solutions to the problems when the West African Gas Pipe line which supply gas from Nigeria to Aboadze broke down; when there were difficulties in getting oil from our suppliers in Nigeria; when demands for oil and gas were increasing in the country; when the challenges of the construction of the gas project at Atuabo were being shouldered. Now most, if not all, of those problems have been solved.

You have been in office for the best part of 5 years plus as vice president and as president (since 2008) and you Mahama wielded power as vice president and chairman of an economic management committee under Atta Mills.

Five years down the political office line, it never occurred to you and government that you needed to appraise the performance of ministers as done in the corporate and commercial world; something done by HR on an annual basis, to correct any under-performance or sack those who do not deserve to be there.

Managing a country is more than managing a big company yet the president has failed himself to do what company directors should do. He should be appraised himself. The NDC simple are not good enough
