.Press freedom my foot. I'd rather have criminal libel to punish Journalists who deliberately make erroneous and false allegations and tarnish peoples hard worn reputation.

Look at a foolish Journalist like Ken Kurankyei who claimed mills was given a house as a gift, when there was no house situated at the place he claimed the house was. Is this the kind of stupid journalism u are proud of? We had press freedom for years, with criminal libel law guarding against evil Journalism.

One of the problems with the criminal libel law is it might force journalists to disclose the source of their information thus discouraging informants. At the moment serious financial penalties can be awarded against journalist for false publications. One question i have for is did kofi baako publish false information before he was incarcerated

DR. BAWUMIA:-----------
“In the last six years, the NDC has borrowed US$27 billion. Before that, we, the NPP, borrowed a total of US$5.5 billion in eight years. Compare that to the NDC borrowing $27 billion in six years and ask yourself what they have done with all that money,” the running mate to Nana Akufo-Addo said.

He said, though a lot more money has been spent, it is a paradox of economic management that this level of excessive spending has only led to greater hardships being visited on the people.

“NDC inherited a public debt stock of GHS9.5 billion in 2009,” the former Deputy Governor of the central bank said. “Today, Ghana’s debt has gone up to GHS65.7 billion. So when I say the stakes are high I am talking about the destiny of our country, Ghana, the future of the youth.”

“The NDC has been taxing everything, including condoms and cutlasses. In terms of resources, this NDC government has had more resources than any other government. We did not have oil. Yet, Ghanaians know what we did with the limited resources we had. We spent money responsibly to create the NHIS, introduce Capitation Grant, expand access to education, we spent wisely on infrastructure and built more roads than any other government,” he said.

O Lord I pray for Mother Ghana, that you reduce the number of FOOLISH VOTERS in 2016. Father the small number that will be left, wash their faces with sea sand so that they would be able to see the predicament they have put Ghana in through their foolish action, and change for the better. I pray that you let them vote this USELESS and CLUELESS GOVERNMENT out. Let those who these FOOLISH VOTERS envy because they are prospering as a result of which they vote foolishly so that they will be equal with them prosper even more. Father let those who are sympathetic to these USELESS VOTERS stop giving them money when they come begging, so that they will realize 'Ghana is hard', and vote wisely this time round. Lord, there are too many office to office beggars in Ghana, that is a sign of poverty, kick those who encourage this out of office. Merciful Father, too many FOOLISH VOTERS who have no sense of dignity are rewarded with trips to soccer matches only to go and sleep on the floor in foreign land, and eventually seek asylum, stamp that disgraceful spirit out of Ghana. Lord, you have blessed us with everything that can make us rich, but you seemed to have forgotten to protect mother Ghana from greedy politicians and thieves; we call on you to rise and let these nation wreakers scatter in 2016. Amen

That means you want dictatorship? I wish a press house or journalist should publish something against me. I shall sue them out of business. That is what people can do to protect their images if wrongly dented. The era of fear of saying what one wants to if it is true is past and gone. Let the press and the people be the watch people of government and the people. When people fear the government, we have dictatorship but when the government fear the people, that is democracy.

Pause and reflect on what influence your decision on who you vote for. If your decision is influenced by the APPEARANCE of a candidate and not his/her COMPETENCE, you are a FOOLISH VOTER. If you are someone who is fond of exchanging your VOTE for a GIFT, you are a FOOLISH VOTER. If you don't care about who you vote for, all that matters is that he belongs to the party you like, you are also a FOOLISH VOTER. Finally, if your vote is influence by TRIBAL AFFILIATION, you are a VERY FOOLISH VOTER. Remember, your action affects all of us. THINK BEFORE YOU VOTE

Press freedom does not mean press irresponsibility, but surely Akufo Addo here does not know the difference. One shall be waiting to hear a complaint about falsehood propagate against his Character from henceforth.

I remember under JJ's NDC rule,one will disappear in the night for saying anything against JJ or the NDC.
In fact for just 8yrs of Kufuor and the NPP government,Ghana gained so much. Like the saying goes"you do not know what you have until you loose it." I and many Ghanaians have regretted voting the NPP out of office.
Today we GYEEDA,SADA,SUBAH,NSS,Woyome and now drugs to worry about, while we suffer economic woes.

Then you were feed with highly classified state dossiers to engage in all sorts of mischief! To make this 'bizarre' arrangement appear above board and 'harmless', Baako coined the expression,"I intercepted" such and such document,when,in fact,these papers had been delivered to him by official couriers. And this explains why state archives were empty,when this guy was running around with 'tons' of classified material and bragging!
I wonder if that 'loser' was provided with a diplomatic passport too.

beside the professed pathological hate and rancor these two parties have for each other who do you believe for the truth. this one comes to say this and that and the other one comes in with more inherently liars to tell ghanaians.
I am not sure who is telling the truth about this beautiful cocaine lady. they turn around and give each other furtive glance and say my liar is better than yours. this lady with such catatonic beauty could have been acting alone.
ghanaians have developed a strong sense of political awareness but these stomach politicians do not understand that. yes! they(politicians) continue their panoramic vista in low shuttering monotone with propitiatory smile we got them. they(Ghanaians) do not see where we are coming from and neither do they know where we are going.
the leaders of the various groups have this companionship silence so that they can get the bribes from the politicians for vote.
nana akofu addo was somehow forced to flinch and blanched at the end when it was pronounced on him with a failing grade of an F. he and his party went on the prosaic usage to enable them for a long concurring grunt on the spectral that ndc wining was bombarded by myriad visual cheating. they(npp) continue to cordite themselves with such temerity and alacrity of civil disobedience.
nana akofu addo and his elephant foot soldiers, habit driving mafia kokumonuans accepted defeat with disdain tolerant.nana is still asking himself whether his thoughts were eternity. interesting enough, he had pick up from where he left eight years ago. he continues to tell Ghanaians what he can do to take Ghana to the paradise land. consequently, nana is still waiting for this mighty nod from Ghanaiains who are not on crack so that he can put an end to ndc eclectic way of life.
but nana , I came here today to tell you that you will never get there because of your tribal odium.
