Yea though we walk through the valley of pepeni death we shall fear no ayigbe evil for the Lord stands by the children of Akan and Israel always . We shall forever remain blessed and despite the trials and tribulations served to us by this aboaba kwasea pepeni and murderous intent of the ayigbe we shall triumph. No matter what they do victory shall be ours for God has most certainly made them blind so they lack any wisdom and see no solutions . These pagan ungodly souls have lied and stolen from us on a daily basis but their days are surely numbered . Somebody quickly remind them i am still waiting in vain to be arrested or see the effects of their juju which they promised because we told our people to prepare for revolution and war . Today its clear the pepeni have armed themselves so we also begin to arm ourselves against these criminals, if you can not buy a licensed gun then make sure you sharpen your cutlasses well and keep them well polished and oiled . pepeni has appointed his incompetent criminal friends , family and tribesmen into various positions of state , little do they know that its not about building empty meaningless careers but they should know its a duty to serve the interests of the people and seek the well-being prosperity of all citizens regardless of stature , religious affiliation , ethnic background , age or gender . They plan and scheme to steal our oil and any wealth we are able to create. they work to systematically destroy even the basic family unit by try to thrush down our throats perverse gay homosexual values as being the ideal .They do not see the beauty of the unity in diversity of the various tribes of Akan rather they encourage and facilitate conflict amongst ourselves but it will not work as our people are now more sophisticated than that as no one is blind to their divide and rule tactics except the few idiots who think they build a political career in the oligarchy which has now crossed over into all parties . Be strong and vigilant oh children of Akan as our day draws nigh . long live the republic of Akan

They destroyed our schools and sent their children abroad, they destroyed our hospitals, they and their families go to South Africa for medical attention, they destroyed all of our factories, they buy all their clothes and food from abroad. They destroyed the effectiveness of the police and now they want personal protection for themselves and family. My suggestion is they should govern from the UK or the US after all that is where our MP's are living and schooling most of the time anyway. A right animal farm this lot have created.

Our MPs are well paid and should hire their own security personnel. For Ghana to transform and be productive, government officials should learn to represent the general good and not themselves. What happened to the principle of efficiency and fairness? Developed nations remain so because of this principle. To develop, poor countries need investments in infrastructure and industry, and not on bungalows, cars, and security guards for MPs. In developed economies, including the United States, legislators pay for their own apartments/houses, cars, etc. We borrow money from them to make the ruling class richer. Shame on us!

The basic needs of the people of this country can't be met by this government. Sure it will be nice if all MPs were given armored vehicles to provide them with maximum protection because they are such an endangered species that this country can not afford to loose. They are doing a heck of a job. A minimum of 275 police officers for each MP. Do the math and tell us where this colossal amount of money will be coming from. Government can not find money to pay the district assemblies common fund for the development of your constituencies yet your personal security is your main concern at this time. Then after the government provides each MP with a policeman there will be the call to provide armed security guards for the MP's house and family. Most of these MPs have nothing to show their constituents for being their elected officials. If you have good consciences, how would you explain this to your constituents?
Ghanaians, please let us show a little bit of seriousness in whatever we do as a people. We should not settle for mediocrity if we really want to develop this country. MPs we are not there yet. If the security situation in the country is that bad, I think we pay you enough for you to be able to afford personal securities for you and your families. Concentrate on the peoples' business or if you find the kitchen too hot, please get out.

Ghana MPs do not need body guards. They simply have to change their attitudes and mentality by showing humility, self -discipline, respect for the law and citizens, corruption, deceit, impunity, lies, innuendos. They nust exhibit modesty, commitment to the welfare of their electorates by showing genuine concerns and seeking consultation, honour their promises and be truthful. These I believe would minimise the current negative feelings about our MPs and others in high positions.

If you feel unsafe.....then make it safe for everyone
That will increase the number of looters. MPs + their Attack dogs (bodyguards)
Our MPs are well paid and should hire their own security personnel. For Ghana to transform and be productive, government officials should learn to represent the general good and not themselves. What happened to the principle ...

If they so dearly want personal bodyguards, then they should be ready to foot the bill at their own expense as well. Not another bill before the already overburden taxpayer down there.
The people's representatives are now seeking protection from the people they are supposed to be serving. Wow!

THE LEADERS IN THE COUNTRY HAVE TAKING GHANAIANS AS FOOL
What have they done for Ghana to be protected? Bribe takers. They should not be allowed to make unnecessary demands on the tax payer.
The basic needs of the people of this country can't be met by this government. Sure it will be nice if all MPs were given armored vehicles to provide them with maximum protection because they are such an endangered species th ...

The MPs in Ghana are too many --for a country of 25 million people, we shouldn't have 279 MPs, 100 MPs will be more than enough. Now they want more staff members to themselves. Then every Ghanaian should also have a bodyguard ...

SO, HOW SHOULD THE COMMON MAN DEFEND HIMSELF? I THINK YOU SHOULD FIND A WAY TO MAKE GHANA SECURE AGAIN.
I guess just like MPs all Ghanaians need bodyguards too since they have also been attacked at some time in their life. Since there are less then 500,000 policemen in Ghana, and assuming there are 500,000 police families, ther ...

The best way to avoid the MPs being attacked by armed robbers is to reduce the salary of the MPs. Armed robbers think they are very rich , hence the attacks. Why are the armed robbers not attacking teachers ?
If MPs wants persoanl bodyguards for personal safety, what happens to members of their holds and the population they represent. This is a clear sign of failure. The solution to insecurity in the country is to go the crux of t ...

Seek the interest of the people and you are safe.
2 Ipads and 6 mobile phones are enough to attract a hungry criminally-minded Ogyakromian. Talk less of the cash in $$$. MPs sit up and stop making unnecessary demands.
They can pay for their own guards.
To serve or being served....These guys are afraid of their lives better than people who voted them into power. Idiots!
Those who placed in charge of Ghana's government are almost all fools.
You don't open your boarders wide open to Nigerian influx to your country and somehow don't expect spate of these hard core crimes including contract ...
