Already we are seeing the Cedi strengthen solidly against the dollar since Monday. THANKS BE TO GOD.
But we can all remember that the ArchBishop prayed for God to give the president and his personnel wisdom to take the right decisions. And we all saw how immediately after that the Bank of Ghana and officials of the Ministry of Finance jumped into action and came out with the problem-solving measures. This is a direct miracle we witnessing.
I advise all to stick to only 3 true and only Men of God: i.e. Bishop Argyin Asare, ArchBishop Duncan Williams, and TB Joshua. Don't waste your time with any others. Particularly, steer far away from the child molester with the scruffy beard hiding in the Catholic Church in Accra, or the money-seeking Mensah Otabil who uses SDA material to teach without attributing to that church, not to talk of very biased tribalist Moderator of the Presy Church. But hang on! Unless there is something with you up there, why would you go before a pastor/priest from the Ashanti Region?

When exactly ie the time, day, date and month of this year would the project commence? When is it going to be completed ie day, date and month?
In the NDC gov'ts manifesto for which they hoodwinked some Ghanaians to vote for them, we are supposed to have 2 international airports by 2016, in the northern and southern sectors of the country. Every region in Ghana is supposed to have an aerodrome by 2016 and not to begin in 2016. Ghanaians are expecting nothing short of these promises and the NDC gov't led by John Mahama and Amissah Arthur need to deliver on all of these pronto.
Ghanaians are still waiting for the 50 SHS's in 2013 together with the 50 this year 2014.
The propaganda, deceit and lies are enough. It's time for the NDC gov't to deliver on these like already.

Shooter, you are right to question how the consultant was appointed. Projects or consulting services are awarded in secrecy because of the corrupt practices. In Europe no member state or a public institution is allowed to award a contract worth in the excess of £67,000 without first publishing the render in the Official Journal of European Union (OJEU)
We need a law in the country which would force the government and all public institutions publish all tenders and invite bibbers. This will offer value for money and reduce the elements of corruption. In the UK you cannot just invite bidders and choose your cronies because any of the loosing biders can go to the court and seek for judicial review.

The contractor looks at her and replies, "S.H.I.T.!".
The blond's smile falters a bit as she digests the contractor's response. Then she smiles her biggest, friendliest smile and says, "T.G.I.F.!".
Again the contractor responds by saying, "S.H.I.T.!".
The woman is obviously quite upset and asks the contractor, "Don't you know that T.G.I.F means Thank God Its Friday?".
The contractor says,"Yes I do, and S.H.I.T. means Sorry Honey Its Thursday!".

Ghanaian decision makers travel around the world apparently blind-folded. What would be achieved by making over this old rusty Kotoka Airport; it is only like dressing an old ailing turkey for an agricultural fair. To be competive and attract more airlines to Ghana and have some of the liners us our airport as transit point, the only rational decision is to build a new ultra modern airport.Where the money for such a project? Stop the chop, chop of government funds across the board and utilize these funds to build the new airport. Ghana seems to be heading backward towards pre-Colonial times in all sectors of our economy because of massive corruption in our system. Let us remove all the corrupt elements in our government through the ballot box, fair and square, and Ghana will be a beautiful place to live thereafter.

GHANAIAN PRESIDENTS BOTH THE PAST AND PRESENT ARE JUST CALLOUS AND INSENSITIVE TO THE NEEDS/GROWTH OF THE NATION. ALL THE BIG, BIG MONEYS THEY STEAL COULD HAVE BEEN USED TO PRESENT GHANA WITH A VERY MODERN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. WHAT BAFFLES ME IS WHEN THEY COME TO POWER, THEY TRAVEL ALL OVER THE WORLD YET NOTHING IS DONE TO UPLIFT THE IMAGE OF MOTHER GHANA FORGETTING THE AIRPORT IS THE GATEWAY TO THE INTERNATIONAL WORLD. GHANA'S ACCRA AIRPORT IS ONE OF THE WORST IN AFRICA. GOVERNMENTS COME AND GO BUT NEVER THINK ABOUT CONSTRUCTING SOMETHING NEW. IT'S ALWAYS RENOVATIONS, RENOVATIONS. AS A MATTER OF FACT TRAVELLING TO GHANA BY AIR, OUR KOTOKA AIRPORT LOOKS LIKE A REMOTE VILLAGE. THERE IS NOTHING MODERN ABOUT THE PLACE. GHANA NEEDS A COMPLETELY NEW AIRPORT BUT NOT A RENOVATED ONE. THE FAT MONEYS FROM WOYOME, GYEEDA ETC. COULD HAVE CONTRIBUTED IMMENSELY TO LIFT UP THE IMAGE OF MOTHER GHANA. IT'S VERY SAD. LISTEN TO WHAT THIS BLOKE IS TALKING ABOUT. INFRASTRUCTURAL WORK COMMENCING IN 2016. WHY NOT NOW AND A CONSTRUCTION OF ADDITIONAL MODERN DEPARTURE AND ARRIVAL HALLS? HE HAS PROMISED THAT TODAY AND BY THAT TIME HE WOULDN'T BE AROUND WHEN THE CURRENT GOV'T IS BOOTED OUT OF OFFICE. CONSTRUCT SOMETHING NEW. THE AIRPORT NEEDS NEWLY CONSTRUCTED DEPARTURE AND ARRIVAL HALLS BUT DEFINITELY NOT RENOVATING THESE EXISTING HALLS. THEY ARE ACHE. THEY STILL LOOK ANCIENT DESPITE THE EFFORT PUT IN.

We'll like to bring PEACE FM'S attention to the situation that is going on in their sister Radio station at GhanaToday HOLLAND. It has been cleared to the listeners of Ghana Today radio , how the presenter Kofi nyarko was rude to the sympathizers of the ruling NDC Gov, on his "wosukabi" program. Kofi nyarko did not end his rudeness, but Kofi organized members from his npp party, especially those who were akan's, they were carefully selected to come on air to dehumanized the rest of the tribes here in Ghana on his radio show. We the listeners here in Ghana can confirm to the PEACE FM management that the home grown npp terrorist who is now residing in Holland kofi nyarko, has done the same thing he was used to on Monday the 10th of February, when one of his regular caller named Joe Canada ,the sympathizer of the ruling NDC Gov. We heard this gentleman who called the program to refute to the comments one of the caller who is also a sympathizer of the opposition party the npp. The npp man called the program and run insults and accused the people from the Volta Region for the hardships the country is currently facing, he said according to him, he didn't understand why the Ewe's should elect somebody like Samuel Okudjeto Ablakwa as their MP , he asked? He went on by saying the Ewe's gives their Votes to anything in front of them, even animals. This uncalled-for words goes down well for the host Kofi nyarko which he congratulated the frustrated npp caller. When the sympathizer to the ruling NDC Gov, Joe Canada, also call the program to refute the unfortunate comments from the npp caller, kofi nyarko who can't hide his affection support for the opposition p npp party ,quickly jumped to defend the npp caller. Kofi nyarko gave his strong warning to the NDC caller not to dare call his radio programs to contribute again, he went on to said , he won't even pick up his call anytime he sees he Joe Canada's number on his phone. These ugly situations compelled some of us to send a strong warning to PEACE FM management, to urgently arrest this situation before its get out of hands. We believed kofi nyarko is trying hard to sow a tribal seeds between us here in GHANA and abroad. The management of PEACE FM must know that kofi nyarko who was placed on npp pay roll to tarnish the ruling NDC Gov, and his division tactics by playing a tribal cards is dangerous to our society and our young democracy here in GHANA We are looking forward to see the management of PEACE FM to call un-erected host kofi nyarko to immediate order before we hit the street of Accra.

With this atitude Ghana will keep on back sliding,why on earth should we put money in an old Airport like the Kotoka, every ten years or so,whiles if we build a new one it will take us years to renovate again,that is if we maintain it well.

Akwaaba does not really mean WELCOME for any Ghanaian. It is only a snorty way of asking someone "Oh so you've gone and come"? and be sure if you did not bring them anything you ain't welcome.

Propaganda at best. Just like all other projects that either became 'dead on arrival' or was never completed & left abandon, don't believe this fairytale story.
Propaganda indeed! Where's the money for this so called renovation?
He said nothing and nothing to be believed.The airport as it stands now is national shame and the company should look for equity partners to revamp it.They cant go on making outlandish statesments about impending work when th ...

Another way of "create loot and share". Only two years ago there was major renovation at Kotoka. What did they do then?
Renovation should start with renaming the Airport. The Name Kotoka Airport is a shame. Imagine Berlin Airport being named Hitler International Airport.
Kotoka did not do Ghana anything worth of emulation. Call it som ...

I wonder what Kotoka did to deserve the naming of the country's only airport in his name. Incentive for Jerry Rawlings and the next Jerry Rawlings
Where do you find the money ? Plus, how much of the money voted would be stolen by you, the politicians and your friends ? What is in this for you ?
You guys are fools papa, why don't you use that money to renovat Kotota to the best standard the fellow to do the same to other Airports as the years come? But you are going to do upgrade of all airports in the country fools

what happened to the new airport to be constructed at prampram?.
is prampram international airport a hoax?
How true Mr Asare's word is yet to seen. KIA upgrade is long over due being an international airport.
Ghana Should build a new Airport,Seaport,Railways,and new harbour.
