Fellow CPP members and its sympathizers, if you think you can find a safe Heaven with the " Y3n Akanfuo " Npp Motorbikes thieves terrorist groups, then you are lying to yourselves. The Npp hate Nkrumah , his legacies and his followers, giving your Vote to the Npp is like giving your last bullets to your enemies, Npp is looking for the best way possibly to scrap " NKRUMAH " from the History of this country ( GHANA ) and replace him with that of their terrorist JBD. VOTE President Mahama and his NDC PARTY for safety and upgrade ( Kwame Nkrumah " in his Grave.

AUTHOR: MR. FIGURE-OUT----------------
It is only in Ghana would such a dishonorably idiot be on the government pay roll. Professor Mill should be solely blamed for imposing those criminals on us. After Mills found Betty Moulds guilty of judgement debt payments the only thing he could do was to move her to the Education dept to continue her looting. Readers would recall that Betty Mounds was the one who awarded SCHOOL building contracts at a triple price of the existing contract sum of some GH 80,000.00. And this happened at a time when they claim inflation was in the single digits. Could you imargin how foolish these criminal liars were. Kuffour built similar structures with 80,000 at a time when inflation was around 14.8% and under Mills it was 240,000 at a rate of 8.8%. And these buffoons turn around to blame the fall of the cedi on some mysterious dwarfs. I don't blame those African countries that have been ripped apart by civil unrest because if you have such buffoons in power who always turn our local elections into a West Africa one
by contracting Togolese Trokosis, Burkinabe and Wangaras from La Cote D'ivoire to vote for them, the " Road To Kigare", is sometimes, a likely option to kick their ass from power.

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.

Stoking tribal fires,embellishment and outright fabrication of non-existent stories,is what is going to set this nation in flames,in the very near future! Even members of the Clergy who know that God despises such behaviour,are at the forefront in promoting this despicable conduct.
Whoever wrote this story is signalling to the indigenes of Agona Asafo to rise up against this administration;pure and simple!

This is what ndc does best; covering resignations up in propaganda shit; calling cows goats so the Ghanaian public are sold the untruths; hook, line, and sinker.

This demonstrates one more time that after almost seven years in power there is no stability in political and economic adminstration of the country with constant shuffling, reshuffling, resignations, etc. How on earth can you run the presidency with key positions on contract only, if we are to believe those lies. The Mahama presidency has called cows goats too many times that no one now believes them even if by the odd chance they are calling a cow a cow.

What a shame Ghana is always going backwards when these so called socialists and school boy ministers are in power. All they are good at is planning looting sharing and crying afterwards.

Look at what they are doing with your resource; elected to serve the people but they are serving themselves, their families and acolytes:
