The fixed Ashanti/Akyem tribal Npp Party's election is nothing to writte about. Any idiots who have his/her money including FAT ugly arss can easily win such fixed election. The losers can advise themselves to proceed to Supreme Court , since that is what the Npp Motorbikes and Bungalows thieves knows best.

O 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.

The common fund passes thru the assembly and the one who releases the money is the Dce. The Dce doesn't give the money to the mp but pays for projects the mp is undertaking. These monies are paid to the contractors upon submission of claims. Unless the Dce connives with the mp, then its not possible to steal the mp common fund. Mr Pratt get some education.

I also think it is too early to do parliamentary primaries considering the fact that some mps will become disfunctional as incumbents if or when they know that between the time of the primaries and election he or she will not be at post. I think this kind of election must be held between 6 to 3 months before elections. This will help mps to focus to do their job better. Conducting such primaries long before election is not wise at all. There is no need to hurry for this elections it is not wise, there is no prudence in it.

Big loud-mouth Kwesi Prat will never keep his stinking mouth off NPP matters. He's always churning out trashy, stinking garbage about NPP and Nana Addo. Do the MPs keep the fund in their wallets? Does Mahama even pay the funds at all? Kwesi find something better to do and shut your stinking mouth. You can do better by going to clear the filth after the circle fire caused by your inept NDC government. Get lost, Pratt.

The Common Fund which is in arrears? How do you misappropriate Common Fund cash when it is not there? Sometimes I don't get this Pratt guy. Can he be serious as a human being? It is getting pretty darn ridiculous and dangerous with the way this Pratt guy talks. Where is the sense? Where is it? How do you misappropriate when it is not there? Or Pratt has spoken to Anita DeSoso and Kofi Wampah's dwarves at the BoG, who the Mahama NDC gov't is telling us have been siphoning the money surreptitiously(sic), to replenish the Common Fund account and he hasn't told anyone except the MP's?
You see what happens when such is the gov't of the day, in the country called Ghana?
Concert, buffoonery and a failed state with meaningless and mindless talk of incessant crassness, whilst the masses suffer.

About these potential twenty- something 'baby-MPs', who are being paraded around by parents for 'photo-ops', and are clearly more susceptible to the cunning influence of their 'slick' boyfriends, than these 'retiring' legislators.gaged
Look, even among the returnees, many have mortgaged their future to get re-nominated, and are no better off than the colleagues who may not be coming back!
Besides, I believe enough controls exist to ferret out those predisposed to the financial 'shenanigans' you allude to.
On the question of "commitment" to the party`s 2016 campaign, I think much will depend on the attitude or posture of those who falsely believe that they now 'own' the party, and can do as they wish! These people would be well-advised to check the historical records and find out what happened to the likes of Messrs. Gbedemah and Joe Appiah, both of blessed memory.
And although the dynamics of this country`s politics have changed markedly, certain 'powerful' and latent forces still exist to bring complacent and arrogant politicians to their knees, if proper caution is not exercised! Where individuals with strong ties to certain constituencies[the native sons] are seen as having been sacrificed for the benefit of "outsiders", then 2016 would be a re-enactment of what we witnessed in 2008!
