The current administration (executive, parliament, judiciary) must provide the National Commission on Civic Education with the necessary resources its needs to perform its responsibilities now.

In order to perform its duties the NCCE must hold quizzes and debates especially amongst school children. The NCCE must also publish the winners of all past competitions or broadcast the competitions to increase civic awareness.

The state owned media must help NCCE in this regard without charging.

Rawlings did not transform our energy requirement alone but actually, he transformed GAHANA.

Oh, NPP!! You believe now? GREAT TRANSFORMATION from 1982-2000.

He did not mean jj don't be quick to turn it to that direction. If I may ask how many megawatts did Kufuor added? Let's talk about that.

The minority could have said nothing about JJ but chose otherwise. Ghanaians are suffering under this current energy crises and you know it. Whether Kufuor add something or not, that is not what we need. Mahama is now the president and he told Ghanaians that he will do a better job than Kufuor. Is he doing a better job that his predecessor?

THEY HAVE NO SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEMS THEY HAVE PUT GHANA IN. MAHAMA IS JUST CELEBRATING HIS POSITION.

WE HAVE LIVED TOGETHER PEACEFULLY UNTIL THE USELESS NDC PARTY WAS FORMED.

''We have been vice presidents for far too long, it is time you make ONE OF YOUR OWN President.'' - John Mahama.

WHAT ARE THE REST OF US TO JOHN MAHAMA?

WE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEM.
THE USELESS NDC PARTY IS TURNING ONE TRIBE AGAINST ANOTHER
TURNING ONE RELIGION AGAINST ANOTHER
THERE WAS EVEN AN ATTEMPT BY ATTA MILLS TO poison football clubs with politics just for the SELFISH INTEREST of the USELESS NDC PARTY.
Everything that unites us as a peaceful nation is under attack by the USELESS NDC PARTY. Before they divide Ghana and leave us in shreds VOTE THE USELESS NDC PARTY OUT IN 2016.
We have lived peacefully without any TRIBAL OR RELIGIOUS POLITICS before the USELESS NDC PARTY WAS FORMED and their manifesto signed with blood. We don't need any division in Ghana. WE ARE INTER-MARRIED, AND WE ARE ONE PEOPLE. NDC IS DANGEROUS, VOTE THEM OUT IN 2016.

If they claim Ghana is facing challenges then they should allow mahatma to fixed it because if they come back they will loot Ghana by saying is because of mahatma mismanagement that has caused that & I don't understand the reasons why they still struggle to power if only they believe what they are saying. Please can anyone help me ask question who will like to be friend of a poor person while the saying goes poor no friend 2 who want to have mad man as he or her gate keeper? That is what nappy are doing because if they believe the country if face with challenging , then they should allow mahama who caused it to fixed it

With the "dumsor" politics now the NPP have recorgnized the fact that J.J Rawlings meant well for the country after all. From their own mouth, J.J built the Aboaze Power Plant, J.J. serviced and brought back the Osagyefo Barge and many more intervention decision were taken to address the power crisis at that time. If the NDC had elaborated this fact of history in J.J''s era, the NPP would have wish the world to come to a halt but like they say, every misfortune, is a blessing. I know J.J will be laughing by now.

My people, NPP, are we not blowing out of proportion this energy problems with the hope that Ghanaians will vote us into office? I am not one of those who are comfortable with this power situaions but let us face it with reality.I think we are making too much noise with this power issue.The other day, it was a so called Bishop and today, it is us. Do not be allowed to be fooled by some of these people.The earlier we look for a campaign strategy the better for us. Nobody should be decieved that this power crisis will take the npp to the presidency.unless they can urinate into the dams to generate the needed power.

WHy DO YOU PEOPLE ALways post this shit after a few sentence in your articles?.....you can do better than shit....and stop BLAMING Nigeria for Gas...kwasia what is that Ghana There doing?...and who spent the money from loans for the purchasing Fuel for power generations?....stop this below and write something else than that

Ghana is currently shedding between 400 and 700 Megawatts of power between off-peak and peak periods due to a shortfall in production which has been attributed to lack of gas supply to thermal plants across the country from the West Africa Gas Pipeline in Nigeria, as well as poor hydrology of the three main hydro-electric power stations: Akosombo, Bui and Kpong.

Also, the breakdown of some thermal plants while others are undergoing maintenance at the same time, have also been blamed for the problem as well as the lack of money to buy crude oil to fuel some of the thermal plants.
