GHANA HAS BEEN RAPED BY NDC IDIOTS. WE DO NOT NEED ANY NATIONAL ECONOMIC FORUM, WE NEED A NATIONAL COURT OF JURISDICTION TO PUT MAHAMA AND HIS CABINET ON TRIAL. GHANA'S HOPELESS ECONOMIC SITUATION, TODAY, IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. NDC HAS OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS PRESIDED OVER THE BIGGEST RESOURCES IN OUR HISTORY INCLUDING CRUDE OIL. THEY HAVE ALSO CONTRACTED THE BIGGEST LOANS IN OUR HISTORY. IF THEY HAVE NOTHING TO SHOW FOR THIS AND THE ECONOMY IS IN SHAMBLES, THEN,THEY MUST BE PROSECUTED. THEY MUST GIVE THE MONEYS BACK TO THE TREASURY. WE DO NOT NEED ANY ECONOMIC FORUM. SET UP A COURT IMMEDIATELY. IT HAPPENED IN THAILAND RECENTLY

CPP can't even manage a simple party much less a country. CPP is just a waste of time and this is the party of my father and my family, still have some of my family members vote CPP, which in itself is mind boggling to me.

Fiifi innuendos are directed at Mahama for over promising. Yes, you don't need to go to Akosombo to know that the government needs to trim its expenditure to solve the mess we are in instead of trying to tax its way out of this mess.

Lets face it, all these ashawo journalists and media realized after peddling the propaganda and lies of the NDC that the people immediately saw through them and stopped buying their newspapers or listening to their radio stations , so they now offer watered down versions of the truth instead of the cold hard facts . 98% of the people of Ghana have rejected the corrupt moral and perverse ndc govt policies be it so called fight for sodomy and gay right to fake economy discussions . we do not have these pepeni and ayigbe idiots as you have to be worth something or worthy to hate we simply read my lips here totally DESPISE THEM. we despise their corruption , we despise their hatred of the Akan majority , we despise their looting and their daily lies , the list is endless as the rotten through and through. Not so long ago they tell us this is the Action year for the Better Agenda as the continue listen very carefully the murdered mill's agenda . Then they tell us they are only in first gear , now they say with the economic forum not only has the car stopped but they are now shopping around for IDEAS to find petrol to get the car moving again in a direction they don't know ? yes we deeply despise such pepeni ayigbe incompetence and they should know after this period will follow the period of FURY. Just look at the misery and woes they have brought upon our people and still they refuse to LET OUR PEOPLE GO. they are too busy steal the little foreign exchange left that the cedi is plummeting down. they are allies with kuffour and his band of robbers who hijacked the npp for a while and made sure they destroyed the grassroots network of the npp so npp can not truly lead any opposition fight to the end like the Ukrainians did . these foolish ndc don't seem to figure out every time they come up with a way to freely spend the tax papers money we see through their lies and propaganda . so after spending a thousand dollars a day per person at this 4 day national economic forum without consensus what do they have to show for it except more lies , propaganda and wishful fantasy thinking . shame on you kuffuor for giving them support , if you can find it in you to care then advise your partners in crime to resign and go away for good

Nkrumah was CPP and the CPP was Nkrumah back in the days. Nkrumah is dead and so is the CPP. Those whose profess to be Nkrumaist today are all greedy buffoons, hollow pretenders who have sold their conscience for pittance, shamefully vote NDC on the quiet and childishly come to the open to display their folly, by pretense, singing hallelujah chorus to mock the name of Nkrumah, the man they proclaim to love so much. If not why did all the Nkrumaist groupings summarily always score somewhere in the neighborhood of 1% anytime we go the pools. Yet these lying fakers whose scholarly work is in the mastery of inciting all tribes to hate Ashantis claim to be repository of all wisdom in this forum.

The problem with Ghana's economy is JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA's incessant desire to amass as much wealth as possible as well as to cover up all his fraudulent deals.
He wanted to be president by any means without considering his lack of leadership skills and abilities, he bribed his way throughout the process. The result is he has run Ghana's economy into a ditch. MAHAMA's vision statement is "ede bii keke", what is the sense in this slogan?

Most Indians are poorer than Ghanaians,but they didn`t take money from the corrupt Congress party to keep them in power.

This is the bane of politicians these days, especially of the NDC breed. It is high time the President called all his appointees to order. Or better still send them to a Public Communications refresher class. Some of these guys don't seem to be using their brains when in front of cameras.

The other day, one of these same fellows described Bawumia as a "disgrace" to his parents. And I was like did this come from the mouth of a whole Deputy Minister?

Hardly did I know that Fiifi, a one time propagandist for the NDC could be this straightforward. He must change first and the others will follow suit. His submissions simply attest to the fact that the politician knows it all but he is constrained by partisan politics which is largely predicated on ethnocentric motivations in our part of the world. The just ended National Economic Forum isn't a waste of time in my opinion, but that for the first time, an African leader wants to change the status-quot. My only problem with it was how people like Bernard Monah and Rawlings blatantly in ignorance or by intention made comments to mar the beauty of the whole process. In short this was like a beautiful dress worn with a wrecked zip. Ghanaians, start thinking!

The problem of Ghana at the moment is the unmitigated incompetence of the NDC gov't, the unrepentant penchant for thievery by the NDC gov't, the lack of vision of the NDC gov't, and gross inability to think by the NDC gov't, and not politics or any wage bill.
Indeed, this Fiavi Kwetey character was on air with a supposed green book to set the record straight and tout the achievement of his NDC gov't on the implementation of the single spin salary structure, which on hindsight has proven to have been incompetently implemented based on the lack of the brain capacity to understand the policy, which was crafted based on wide spread stakeholder engagement and the combination of various committee actions and works since 1967, to address the issue of salary remuneration amongst public sector workers in the country. The Mahama led NDC gov't messed it up, and Fiavi Kwetey was on air singing the praises of a badly flawed implementation of the SSSS. So for the likes of Fiavi Kwetey to turn around and say that, a policy which his gov't lacked the competence to implement, based on it's inability to comprehend, as one of the supposed causes of the country's economic stagnation shows a very dimwitted assertion of the facts. Indeed, the problem of Ghana is the NDC gov't which has demonstrated a huge inability to think, crass incompetence and ineptness, unbridled thievery, sheer propaganda, insults and deceit, a yenti3 obiaa drive into nothingness, a huge unquenchable appetite for create, loot and share, and amongst others, an overbearingly nauseating quest to remain in power at all cost, via fair and foul means, when it's clear they cannot perform or deliver. That is the problem and the economic forum cannot be the panacea to the very problem which Ghana seeks to solve when the very architects of the problem are still in the driving seat. It's akin to filling a water tank with a basket, a very, very fruitless and useless exercise. Until Ghana resolves to massively ditch the NDC gov't at the ballot box with about 99% of their votes, in which case no amount of rigging can change the verdict, Ghana is going absolutely no where with the Mahama led NDC gov't. Those are the hard bare facts.

If what FIIfi Kwetey is saying is anything to go by, and is the feeling of the majority, then the recent Economic Forum was a sheer waste of time and resources. What the Forum could have done was to have rather brainstormed to fashion out a different approach towards the type of democracy we have foisted on ourselves. I personally think the democracy as practiced by many African countries including Ghana is too alien to the African and needs fine-tuning to incorporate African values. Unlike the West where the democracy as we practice here is working for them, ours is simply bringing division and rancor. This should tell us that we have failed in adapting the white man's version of democracy to the African and Ghanaian situation but choose to swallow hook, line and sinker, a system that is alien to us.
A debate should start now towards building a home-brewed African democracy which basis can be found in our culture.

NDC will say anything and do anything to win elections......Even if they have to sell Ghana for it. Their founder, JJ once said that even if you have to give away your mother for power, do so and afterwards use the acquired power to get her back.

May God Forgive you? Yet God should let you suffer before you die for using propaganda to deceive Ghanaians and bring such hardship on us. President Kuffour’s time every business was going on well. Markets were not been burnt frequently like what we see and hear nowadays. NDC has brought a curse on our Nation.

Economic Forum not needed: Ghana's problem is politics - Fiifi Kwetey
