Author:-Mahmoud...If we may ask, is the NDC new party school another communist ideological institution? The Young Pioneers implanted by Nkrumah in our midst did more harm than good to the development of this country when they usurped power from 1972 to 2001.

Our experience with the quack neo-communists is that, they seize power unjustifiably through coups and counter coups, and Ghanaians only suffer dictatorship, tyranny, corruption and economic mismanagement under them. Being in power now for six years, the NDC has failed again to improve the economy simply because their fundamentals are wrong. In fact, they don't have what it takes to salvage the sinking economy.

Under normal circumstances, political parties are formed to produce leaders democratically. But in the case of NDC, a tyrant created the party with state power and resources to legitimize his illegitimate regime and cling to power fraudulently. NDC is therefore, an artificial and illegitimate party followed by stomach politicians and sycophants.

The NPP and its antecedents were created from the United Gold Coast Convention. UGCC was formed by a group of elite business men and professionals to protect their privileges and interests. It was never a mass, grassroots organisation like the CPP.

A man and his wife check into a hotel The husband wants to have a drink at the bar, but his wife is extremely tired so she decides to go on up to their room to rest. She lies down on the bed... just then, and elevated train passes by very close to the window and shakes the room so hard she's thrown out of the bed. Thinking this must be a freak occurrence, she lies down once more. Again a train shakes the room so violently, she's pitched to the floor. Exasperated, she calls the front desk, asks for the manager. The manager says he'll be right up. The manager is skeptical but the wife insists the story is true. "Look... lie here on the bed -- you'll be thrown right to the floor!" So he lies down next to the wife. Just then the husband walks in. "What," he says, "are you doing here!?!" The manager calmly replies, "Would you believe I'm waiting for a train to Takoradi?"

Ida Amin you see that you are young trickster by the time you grow up you be will running a top tough criminals cartel, I prophesize."FROM DUMSOR TO COLLAPSING THE ECONOMY"I thought you were going to say ....to collapsing the RAIL sector, but because you do remember that the railway was collapsed by president Kuffour and NPP you turned to play smart. K4 and his NPP created private companies for themselves to transport bauxite to the ports with vehicles instead developing the railways. In 2000 when he took power he deceived Ghanaians with a master plan named "Railway from Akosombo to Paga" which was with map of the project shown on the print media. By the time kuffour left office after 8yrs not even 1km of his project was achieved and Ghana railways was dead and buried. Railway workers in Ghana were quiet because he and trickery NPP machinery would crush them. Get to know your facts before you come on this platform

Prepare for 1000 new armed robbers. Mahama is sharing jeeps among chiefs and inflating the costs of so-called new school buildings even though the existing ones don't have books. A "president" with a low brain.

where is the railway ., where are the train, where do they go, and how much do they make annually?. Railways paying retirement benefit for what? Over 30 years ago the railway lines from Kumasi to Takoradi, and from Ku masi to Accra had been abandoned for lack of service. Which service are these talking of retrenching 1000 workers. Do we have a minister for this corp and does the minister knows his job. If I become president of Ghana,many ministries will be abolished, many parliamentary constituencies will be abolished. The leaders who created these unnecessary 237 constituencies in Ghana shd be ashamed of themselves.America which is bigger than the whole of Africa does not have many constituencies like we have in Ghana, and these ministers and parliamentarians don't know anything. Go to parliament and say nothing. Lissten to the MP from Tamale saying the trees under school,and he calls himself honorable MP receiving an MPay doing nothing

I have been looking for the Ghana Railways Train schedule from Accra to Hohoe in the Volta Region but cannot find it online.

Can anyone please point out to me anywhere online that I can find the schedule.

Rastafaria,

May Jah bless you for your good wishes on Ghana Railways which would all come to pass.

I would advise that you make your way to the Accra Railway Station. Wait until the year 2095 when Ghana Railway would have gotten its acts together to have a website thoughtless about having rolling stocks to the Volta Region.

And make sure you go along with a tent. You may just need it whilst waiting.

Good luck!

33 years. Too long. This sector is vital to the economy and should become a reality in the shortest possible time. Why not use multiple firms working in tandem? Unskilled labour force ready to learn on the job abound. A drawn out project will only result increased project cost, aside from making a limited impact on unemployment. 10 years should be enough.

DEPUTY MINISTER HON. JOYCE BAWA MOGTARI,PLEASE, FIRST THINGS FIRST:

PLEASE, WHAT IS DUE AND VERY IMPORTANT IS FOR THE GOVERNMEMT TO REHABILITATE THE BROKEN RAILWAY LINES FROM TAKORADI-KUMASI-ACCRA,TAKORADI-HUNNI-VALLEY-ACHÍASI-ACCRA BEFORE INVESTING IN NEW RAILWWAY LINES IN THE COUNTRY.

FROM WHAT CREDIT INSTITUTE IN THE WORLD WILL THE NATION GET THE 21 BILLION DOLLARS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF NEW RAILWAY LINES.

THIS IS EXACTLY THE SAME IRRATIONAL APPROACH KUFFOUR AND HIS GOVERNMENT PLANNED TO DO,WITH THE AIM TO CONSTRUCT RAILWAY LINE FROM KUMASI-TAMALE AND AKOSOMBO-TAMALE, AT A TIME THAT, WESTERN AND EASTERN RAILWAY LINES WERE BROKEN, AND WITH NO LOCOMOTIVE ENGINES, COACHES AND WAGONS TO TRANSPORT PASSENGERS AND RAW MATERIALS.
