Mahama is clueless, he just knows how to plagiarize, I don't even think he understands some of what he says. It is all talk no substance. What Ghana has now is the leadership "disconnect" -- total leadership void.

I can't even believe this clueless accidental President anymore. Is he really serious?

"President John Dramani Mahama says most of the challenges the country is facing is as a result of the low productivity churned out by workers despite the high inputs invested in them by government."

I have lost the putative of hope left in me that this accidental President has a clue as what is happening in Ghana. Blaming the poorly paid workers for your ineptitude is really uncivilized, Mr President,

Is this the quality of an NDC-made president, fraudulently imposed on Ghanaians by evil-duo of Afari Djan and Atuguba? What a clown of a moron parading as a president of Kwame Nkrumah's Ghana?

NDC as party has failed Ghana big time.
When will Ghanaians wake up from slumber and give a perpetual farewell to NDC and its kind of leadership?

All these wasted years and resources by pseudo leadership and governance is because of Afari-Djan 'kwasea bi nti' ( courtesy by Asiedu Nketia).

Let me RANT a little here.! Unless Ghana voters take
a stand and send direct UN-mistakable message by voting
to remove the president every 4 years nothing will change.

The NPP & NDC are a curse like ticks determined to suck
blood from ordinary Ghanaian.

The way to change the operational direction of Ghana is to vote-out
the president every 4 years to teach this lunatic-craze leaders
that bad behavior,Lies,Corruption,insidious motives will be punished
and not rewarded.

Discard that Socialist/Communist ideals and allow private businesses to the main engine of Ghana's economic growth and see some real economic growth. The NDC is always deceiving Ghanaians and their very own selves with that communist mentality, hoping to achieve some great results by investing in the wrong sectors and making wrong decisions and wrong actions. The results always shows as things continue to fall apart for Ghanaians all the time!

Why can't they just follow ex-Prez. Kuffour's steps that enabled his govt. to turn Ghana's economic fortunes around in just 8yrs? The NDC had been in power for 19yrs without any great economic success, except for them to seize people's businesses and property; they accused innocent Ghanaians of corruption etc. They use the EC and SC to steal the ballot to wrestle their way back to power. Soon afterwards, things began getting tough for the ordinary citizen; everyone started crying for economic relief. It all started under late-Prez. Atta-Mills' tenure; John "Aplanke Prez" Mahama is worse! John Mahama and NDC should stop lying to Ghanaians, because telling lies won't save them. Period!

Interestingly, Mahama says the sagging economy and everything is just fine! That's his by his own judgement and standards. They won't stop lying to Ghanaians about the real situation. When NDC govt. and its ministers are milking the nation dry, they'll sent their propaganda ministers to spread out false info about the nation's economy. What a shame!

Dr. Duffour started auditing payroll.Why did you not continue from where he left off?
Low productivity is not the problem.You need to reverse the deficit balance of payment by reducing unnecessary imports and boosting export revenues.The only way Ghana can prop up the Cedi and stop the mounting debt.

The current economic crisis, it's no longer a challenge, is a direct consequence of the almighty unbridled humongous thievery and looting connection of the Mahama led NDC family/friends gov't and the national kitty. The relationship or connection has become so parasitic that the national kitty is bleeding to death and Ghanaians are the eventual sufferers of this parasitology manifested as looting and thievery. That is the real connection.
