Is this Mahama man for real? Wasn't this man the first to politicize the issue about Muslim kids going to Christian schools when it had not become news by including it in his talking shop called State of the Nation? And now he turns around to tell us what we already know that politicising religion is nuclear?
now he is talking about fiscal discipline when he was the one who was saying a while back that he would continue to borrow?

Who the heck does Mahama think Ghanaians are? We are not as ignorant he assumes we are. Does he think we are fools? Does he think we have no brains to think except to listen to those idiotic and arrogant spokesman Sam George Nettey?
We know the promises he has made and not fulfilled and the theft that he has encouraged under his tenure.

At the minimum, he should be coming out and saying that he would, for example, implement in full the recommendations of the World Cup committee of enquiry.

Can somebody who understands economics on his team explain to him the inflating of contract values around the Nkrumah and Kasoah interchanges or it is to cover the costs of the 2016 election?

Can someone explain to him the recklessness of his economic policies and the fact that it borders on criminality against us and Ghanaians unborn and could be described as treason

An enemy to the nation will not be this reckless. Why Mahama? Why do you hate Ghana so much as to be this reckless with the Ghanaian economy?

Listen to this Clueless DULLARD MAHAMA. He holds the nation's Cheque-Book yet asks the people to have a fiscal discipline.

This is a statement that should be directed to the Wets within his Administration who are hell-bent on ransacking every bean of the State.

Statements or pronouncements coming from him and most of his Ministers are just so risible, to say the least.

Recently, we had Ekow Spio-Garbrah telling Ghanaians that "Dumsor" had provided some good Businesses within the Ghanaian Community without proper elaboration.

This is a man(Spio-Garbrah), who struggled for a long time to join his CocaINDC Government, only to tell this NONSENSE to the people.

I remember back in the year 2000 when the NPP were being ushered into Power, he made a statement to the fact that " if the NPP wants to rule Ghana, we shall let them because THERE IS NOTHING LEFT IN THE KITTY".

And true to his word, There Was Nothing Left, yet the incoming government were able to turn things around to their amazement, even WITHOUT OIL.

The fact of the matter is, these COCAINDC IDIOTS don't understand that PATRIOTISM is a very formidable TOOL that goes with SUCCESS.

WITH ENEMIES LIKE THESE, WHO NEEDS A FRIEND!!!!

You said NPP was able to turn what around without what? What about the price of gold shooting up from $250 per ounce to $1,800 by 2007? And what about the price of cocoa also going up astronomically from a mere $500 per tonne to $2,500 per tonne? What about HIPC where through the IMF/World Bank initiatives, three-quarters of Ghana's foreign debts were forgiven? What about the money pumped into the country by our new found development partners as a result of the peaceful transfer of power from the NDC government to NPP? The goodwill from this single action between NDC and NPP brought the whole world to our doors wanting to support Ghana's fledgling democracy so that the rest of Africa will learn from us. Do you know the amount of money the Scandinavian countries poured into Ghana, not to mention, US, France, Britain, and the European community? What did JA Kufuor and his NPP government do with all this money? The only notable thing they did was spend the money lavishly on Ghana@50. They budget for $20 million, by the time it was all said and done, the Kufuor government has blown $75 million with nothing to show for.

This present NDC government is a bunch of losers, but JA Kufuor and his NPP government did worst than this government is doing.

John "Aplanke Prez" Mahama is just jokes! He can't even seem to make any sense anymore! It's so interesting to note how the NDC are so happy about the IMF $900 plus bailout after messing up Ghana's economy. After squandering approx. $27 Billion in loans, having nothing to show for it, what can $900 Million do? After slaughtering and feasting on a fat cow, what will a mere poultry chicken meat do for your fat stomach? Nothing!

When Dr. Bawumia alerted gov't of an imminent danger, and called for correctional measures to be applied to Ghana's economy, way back in 2010, the NDC insulted the astute economist and a statistician, saying he doesn't have a valid certificate and all sorts of crap. It did take long for the NDC to realise that they were being stupid as the economic situation worsened after Bawumia's cautioning note.

They shamelessly organized a forum at Akosombo, dubbed "THE SENKYE ACCORD" to brainstorm the ailing economy. The "Economic Wizard" has made another stunning revelation that's caused the AfDB to cause some serious credibility blunders, trying to cover for the failed Mahama gov't after they (Bank) had written to disqualify Ghana as a credible borrower.

So, Mahama is telling Ghanaians that the success of the IMF bailout needs fiscal discipline when his NDC apparatchiks are being paid bloated gov't contract deals ect? Well, I want to stress here that it is the sole responsibility of gov't to restore or fix our economy, after causing the mess; it's not the duty of the ordinary people in the streets to correct gov't mistakes. And does the gov't listen to advice anyway? So long as our exports cannot create any surplus against imports; as long as there're no significant foreign investment there's no hope! Even a $20 Billion IMF bailout cannot save Ghana so long as corruption in high gov't places still persist; we can't go to the well to fetch water with a basket or a bucket with full of hole in the bottom. It's as simple as that!

See who is talking about fiscal discipline when people are stealing left and right within the government and nothing is been done about it. After all these borrowing, the roads are poor, there no power and everything is a mess.
Where is the money. Its not as if Ghana is a welfare state whereby government help the poor. 2015, If u don't have money, u will sleep hungry in Kwame Nkrumah Ghana.
There's no housing benefits or food allowances. People built their own houses. The only thing the government is to provide is to do the road and even that the government doesn't do it.
Too much borrowing has render Ghana so poor, even children who are not born owe money.
What is government when nothing is been govern. Its time Ghanaians wakeup and do things together to eliviate themselves from poverty and forget about the word government.
If u have the money, built your house, get a bore hole for water, and buy solar panels or biomass for electricity and send your children to private school and private hospital and help your neighbors.

''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? VOTE HIM OUT. HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING AT THE PRESIDENCY; HE IS ONLY CELEBRATING HIS POSITION LIKE A MOVIE ACTOR.

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.

PEOPLE OF GHANA, IT IS TIME WE BRING SOME RESPECT TO THE LEGISLATIVE ARM OF GOVERNMENT. NDC/NPP aside, let us encourage intelligent and decent people to represent us. We are talking about discussing and passing legislation, it is not something we should leave in the hands of illiterates and people who don't respect themselves. THE IMAGE OF GHANA IS MORE IMPORTANT TO SOME OF US THAN THE INTEREST OF ANY POLITICAL PARTY. ILLITERATES DON'T HAVE A PLACE IN PARLIAMENT. THEY DEGRADE IT, AND TAKE EVERY RESPECT IT HAS. I call on all who are parliamentary materials to do what GEORGE ANDAH, KOJO NKRUMAH AND EGBERT FAIBILLE JNR. are doing. NO MATTER WHAT PARTY YOU BELONG TO. WITH PEOPLE OF SUCH CALIBRE IN PARLIAMENT, GHANA STANDS A BETTER CHANCE OF GETTING BACK ON HER FEET.

Does JD MAMAHA really understands what he talks about and what he is talking about now? FISCAL DISCIPLINE (not physical discipline), Ethnicity and Religion.
Like what the average mediocre and inexperienced and unenlightened self-acclaimed Ghanaian "intellectual" does, just bandy words around such as "strategic", "accountability", "due diligence", and now "fiscal" around to show that s/he is also knowledgeable.
When did thief, fraudulent, corrupt, corrupt-drenched, corrupt-minded, incompetent and mediocre MAHAMA ever cared to understand the word "fiscal discipline?" Has MAHAMA ever cared about the impact of his stealing, corruption and fraudulent deals (Atta Mess met his death when he tried to stop MAHAMA from fiscal indiscipline).
ETHNICITY, look at who is talking about ethnicity? MAHAMA stoked the enthnicity flame during his campaign when he told people at the north that he is one of them coupled with the fact he has surrounded himself with only people of northern extraction in his corrupt government. What stokes ethnicity more than what MAHAMA is doing now? Nonsense!!

Mr. President, the nation's check book is solid in your hands so, where should that "fiscal discipline" come from? You are your goon squad rained all sort of insults on Bawumia when he stated frankly that your senseless borrowing and reckless spending will send the nation to the IMF, but you let loose the "Tasmanian devil-like creatures" in your government, to dissect him into shreds and now, the reality has set in. Do you understand what "fiscal discipline" means? I doubt. Why?

We have the energy ministry and you have created another "power minister". What is the sense in it? Are you not increasing the national debt? So, what is fiscal discipline to your understanding?

If we have to invite some entities from somewhere to come and tell us to be "witty about money" then I am sorry to say that we are not there yet.
