NPP HAD NO CHOICE THAN TAKE GHANA TO HIPC, BECAUSE THE 19 YEARS OF RAWLINGS' RULE MADE GHANA BANKRUPT, BY THE TIME NPP TOOK OVER THE NATION IN THE YEAR 2000. ATTA MILLS WHILE CAMPAIGNING AT EL WAK STADIUM IN 1999, DID SAY THAT, THERE WAS NO MONEY LEFT IN THE STATE TREASURY AND HE WISHED TO SEE HOW THE INCOMIMG NPP GOVERNMENT PLANS TO FIND MONEY TO FULFILL THEIR PROMISES. THE SAME THING WAS SAID BY SPIO GARBRAH AT ANOTHER NDC RALLY IN 1999, THAT THE NATION WAS BANKRUPT AND HE IS NOT SURE HOW THE NPP WAS GOING TO FIND MONEY TO RUN THE NATION, WHEN THEY WIN THE ELECTION IN 1999. SO IT WAS THE SAME RECKLESS, INCOMPETENT AND CORRUPT GOVERNANCE OF THE NDC UNDER RAWLINGS, WHICH MAKES GHANA BANKRUPT AND MAKES GHANA HIPC.

AUTHOR: MAHMOUD------
You are repeating exactly what Rawlings and his "let the blood flow" misguided, inexperienced youth of this country said years ago. They claimed that our older leaders had failed and they took over the country in the 80s and mismanaged it for 20years. The result was a Cuban-style communist dictatorship, economic mismanagement, Rawlings' Chain" and abject poverty.

Those revolutionary youth who were wearing tire sandals and condemned market women to death for petty profiteering, are now billionaires enjoying power and money fraudulently. Throughout the period when Ghana was called "ojah krom", they perpetuated their rule through the gun and electoral malpractices. Unfortunately, they are the ones overseeing the sinking of this country today and they will do everything in their power to rig the elections and continue their mediocre rule, despite the fact that Ghanaians want them out.

Believe me; suggesting that the "youth" should take over the running of this country again will not fly.

Mr. Mahama and the NDC are not interested in priorities that would ease the suffering of Ghanaians; they are interested in prestigious signature projects for the enjoyment of few ruling elites in order to deceive gullible voters, regardless of whether the inflated projects are priorities and value for money or not. Does the NDC government think, despite the massive corruption, they can borrow recklessly and spend their way foolishly into another mandate in 2016, when the nation is over burdened with HIPC and workers wallowing in hunger and over taxed?

Governance under the NDC government is all about 'opium of the people' because they enjoy everything here on earth but ask us to wait for our basic needs in heaven. And as they ask us to tighten our belts for future betterment, they loosen theirs for immediate consumption. They didn't even respect our intelligence when they said we should wait for a paradise after three more years. The truth is that, everything they promise is a mirage and we will never find comfort under them because; they are con-men with con plans.

When will the USELESS NDC PARTY educate her ignorant followers about what HIPC is? In Ghana, it is only the USELESS NDC that has been messing up our economy and landing us into A HIGHLY INDEBTED POOR COUNTRY status. After 19 years of useless rule by the NDC, Rawlings and Kwesi Botchweh gave us HIPC. KUFOUR WENT FOR A LOAN SET ASIDE FOR COUNTRIES THAT ARE HIPC, to get the country back on her feet. So, for all the illiterate and ignorant followers of NDC, NPP has never taken Ghana to HIPC; get this clear. FIIFI KWETEY, the charlatan economist must explain this to all of you illiterate and ignorant NDC followers.

Ghana has never paid off its loans, we've been borrowing from the time of Adam and Eve. This is criminal, we will leave a huge debt for our children to pay. People like Seth Terkper are academically useless and intellectually lazy. They come up with cock and bull stories all the time to justify the reason for more loans. Sadly the 99% of Ghanaians do not have a mind to challenge the status quo. Keep praying to TB joshua for answers and dont question your leaders! Very soon, a ball of Kenkey will cost 1 million cedis. Shame on you.

Go and see how Prez Mahama of Ghana has transformed Gonjaland with Ghana money just within the two and half years that he has been in power. Every town, village and hamlet in Gonjaland has received a facelift with new facilities such as roads, toilet facilities, markets, mosques, good quality water projects, electricity extension projects, etc. The question is did J. J. Rawlings do the same thing to Voltarians when he was in power for twenty years? What about Atta Mills. The good old Prof was in power for three and a half years yet he was not selfish to only concentrate on his people in Ekumfi Etuam and the central Region but rather his whole thought was for the general good. No wonder under the care of Prez Mills, Ghana achieved a growth rate of 11%, single digit inflation and the smooth implementation of the Single Spine Pay Policy where newly recruited police personnel received the nominal equivalence of 500dollars as monthly salary. Compare these achievements to the nepotism and selfish policies of the Mahama government that has crippled the Ghanaian economy. I really weep for Ewes and Fantis whose votes brought Mahama to power and yet are the hardest hit by the current hardship prevailing in the country.

Usman, you are missing the point. It is wrong to expect the president to develop only his ethnic origins. That line of thought is very divisive and extremely foolish. It is however okay to point out that we have useless leaders in Ghana who did nothing to uplift the country as a whole. Ghana is back in the dark ages. The greater majority of Ghanaians are brain damaged and prefer to buy holy water from TB Joshua. Idiots, they cant even produce a condom, all Ghanaians do is recite every verse in the bible. I challenge Ghanaians to write your own Physics, chemistry and biology books if you can think.

Usman, you seem to be angry with me. First and foremost, i wish to remind you that we both know that our president is useless. My aim is to try and steer you clear off the tribal lines you seem to be dwelling on. I can also say Mahama is alienating the Ewes, the Nzima's etc. We cannot isolate your stupid village in the grand scheme of things. We need to look at the whole picture.I agree that Mahama is very incompetent, but i think the average Ghanaian has an IQ lower than a dog in UK. You seem to reinforce my believe that we are a stupid nation because of your tribal thinking.

Well, I don't blame you since the Daily Raw-shit is the obvious outfit to blame on this particular lies they have taken a keen interest to. This is the umpteenth time they have published this same news from the beginning of this year to boost their propaganda prowess which is clearly not washing at the neighborhood of the discerning lot out there in Akwaabaland. So Dr. USMAN, you and your Daily Guide must learn to grow up since nobody is buying your collective lies any longer.

I thought you had balls to justify Mahama's nepotism but nay, you dodged and rather resorted to unnecessary historical accounts. You see, your pay master is messing up big time all because he has surrounded himself with people like you. If you really have balls then come out to inform Ghanaians why Mahama, in the same Region and District, will sideline Lobis and develop Gonja areas. What kind of mentality is this if not from useless university graduates like your type. No wonder Alban Bagbin described Mahama's Administration as that of 'Family and Friends'. Nonsense.

My dear friend Usman, I realise you are a true fighter who is very opinionated. Ive been following your thread and our dialogue and i realise you are a no-nonsense-individual. I have to say I admire your special traits. We have issues in Ghana, and these issues are gradually reducing us into mentally handicapped mad men. Ghanaians cannot reason, we dont have the ability nor the moral courage to question the status quo. Our education system has failed us which is why 90% of the population turn to a con man going by the name TB Joshua. Mahama does not know any better, after all his brother owns planes in Ghana where as Ghana as a country does not even own a plane. All you hear from our radio station is 'juju, witchcraft and sex' nonsense. We are very weak minded people (Ofcourse not every single one) with no brains. Mahama is just one of us, and although he is completely useless as a president, he is not the cause of the problems. Ghana is the only country on earth where nobody goes to jail for embezzling govt. funds. Eg Woyome. Ghana is the only country where our Presidential lounge at the airport is used for cocaine trafficking without any consequence. Ghana is the only country where ministers and MP's insult the citizens and call our tv stars prostitutes etc and still stay in office. We are a failed state. I challenge Ghanaians to write your own Physics, chemistry and biology books if you can think.The truth is we cannot think. Thus my brother Usman, i feel your pain but lets not loose sight of one fundermental fact, we are a nation with the most idiots. Go and check the MENSA website(world IQ test body), Ghana was among the countries with the lowest IQ in the world. Would you therefore blame Mahama?

If you live in Europe, North America or any of these developed countries, you understand the importance of CREDIT. In simple terms when you use your credit card to buy stuff without paying, your credit rating falls, soon you will not be able to apply for another credit card anywhere. The next is to apply for BANKRUPTSY. This is exactly what Mahama and his group of THIEVES have done to Ghana. Where has all the borrowed money gone to? Feeding into their obsessed habits, thinking that the money isn't going to finish. In plain language WE ARE IN SHIT! Never in my heart have i hated such a group of leaders. What track record of leadership did Mahama had before giving him this mantle of leadership? This beats my mind!

So even if you believe that Ghana isn't already over the threshold, it soon will be. How can a country borrow against it's economy but not put in the infrastructure and create the economic environment for growth.

It's like someone taking endless loans and credit cards without cutting his costs and still on the same wage but piling up more and more debt.

Ghanaians are not smart kraaa.

See 2016 what will happen when NDC starts to use loan money to fund election campaigning and the ratio moves up.

When will Ghanaians wake up this government has HAD THE MOST LOANS AND CREDIT out of any previous government, but yet some in Ghana respond to this situation like your neigbout telling you has knocked over your plant pot.

It's time to STOP talking about will NDC stay in power and start on how Ghana can move forward and adopt strategies to pull us back from the abyss.

But 88 out of a total of 112 is not 67.3%?? If the debt is GHC 88b and the country's total GDP is equivalent to GH¢112 billion.
Somebody should explain to me how the 67.3% is arrived at.

They should check this piece again, because Ghana is not moving slowly to HIPC, Ghana is actually in HIPC status and has been in HIPC status for the past 2 years from the thievery and incompetence. Ghana is there is HIPC, very there, in there under the highly clueless, visionless and non-thinking, thievery-prone Mahama-led NDC gov't.
It is time to speedily send them packing massively in 2016. Ghana deserves the best.

It's said:"You fool me once shame on you but you fool twice shame on me".
Once upon a time, the NDC, then under the leadership of its founder, Jeremiah John Rawlings, dragged the nation on its hands and knees to HIPIC but thankfully, the next NPP administration led by John Agyekum Kuffuor worked tirelessly to bring the nation out of the dreaded HIPIC woods, berthing us comfortably in the low middle income zone.Just a few years after the miraculous escape from HIPIC land, the NDC is again doing what it does best, surreptitiously hastening us on an emotional and stressful roller-coaster re-entry into the dreaded HIPIC wasteland. Wasn't President Mahama right when he said :"Ghanaians have short memories"? Yes indeed, because if we didn't, we would not find ourselves in this nasty mess again but more importantly, we'd be on high alert, working relentlessly to keep the NDC bandits at arms length. The truth hurts but this is our sad reality .
