Collective guilt will not fly over this matter of epidemic corruption. Looking at the genesis and the mechanisms or root cause of this phenomenon we know exactly who the culprits are. This system was first developed in our country by elements close to Kwame Nkrumah and his political desire to build a cult personality just as we see today with Bawumia and before him JJ. Kojo Tsikata and his warped minded cronies and criminals from national security are the ones responsible as they designed and implemented the system. This is a system of Negative selection which doesnt allow our best to be called to serve rather prefers treacherous traitors , individuals of no morals or integrity all having perverse deviant character traits. In a corrupt society the undeserving , unqualified , incompetent with no empathy prosper while the opposite are marginalized , lynched or even killed as we have witnessed with Atta Mills, Acheampong , Ankrah and others. We mentioned the other day 2 sons of the Akans ( Kofi Anann and Sam Jonah) who invited to serve would turn the country around in less than a year but are no where on the political horizon talk less of being enabled to contribute anything positive to the nation. The truth be told we have over half a million (500,000) very highly qualified patriotic citizens from ALL tribes who can perform and are competent but they dare not raise their heads due to the vicious nature of The NDC , National security and other security agencies that have a strangle hold on the political climate. I advise all to verify these things i say and investigate the truth for themselves. Do we not have the likes of Daniel Tetteh ( a Ga in Databank), the sons of Dr agama (Ewes ) and countless Northerners with global achievement such as Baba Abu the banker? How come none of these well accomplished professionals have been thrown away to the roadside after all the investment our people have put in them? NDC is gone but the battle to bring things in order doesnt end there rather we need to remain vigilant and work to transform the politics by eliminating these useless remnants that have infiltrated every party. Mahama's treachery goes beyond incompetence as its only a symptom , the root cause is plain simple evil wickedness mixed with the retrogressive forces of his Islamic background. Corruption another symptom is part of the strategy to weaken the institutions of state , erase integrity and morals so we forever remain in this quicksand of poverty and backwardness . Incompetence implies amateurism , political illiteracy , ignorance etc but we say this is very deliberate as its supported by national security and other security agencies , practically all institutions of state are in compliance with the destruction or wanton looting of Akan wealth and future because they know its not theirs.To illustrate this point we will elaborate , imagine there is an ailing child that needs a heart operation or even simple appendix removal but pepeni president comes along and says i have the constitutional right to appoint the medical officer , so instead of appointing an experienced capable doctor he says my brother muslim pepeni is a butcher and knows how to cut flesh so he is appointed instead . Then the rest of us idiots are surprised and amazed when every time there is a patient things go wrong and there is death and misery all over the place. Then pepeni omanhene gets up and says npp vowed to make the country ungovernable so is to blame and sets all institutions of state to work at the destruction of the innocent npp. Now we return and all i say is just look at this govt and what do you really see , people deliberately in place who can never deliver , perform or do anything right in a thousand years, all of them sophisticated criminals posers and professional liars. The opposition we see is in a very sorry state as they have been infiltrated by these agent provocateurs , spies and sleepers . They cant even organise a simple house to house or door to door campaign due to internal sabotage and obstruction. We advise all decent citizens and Akans to continue the campaign individually to remove this evil NDC and make sure they dont even get 5% of the vote , then we shall see how the BNI will rig the elections for them. In our opinion any party not affiliated to the NDC is a good start and we shall make sure we dismiss 90% of the police force , BNI , national security and ministries civil service and replace them with more loyal ,patriotic and deserving citizens. A bad tree will always produce bad fruit such as we see with JJ and his offspring ashawo daughter who is only good for licking men's balls. Our advice especially to our diaspora is to avoid any family which supports NDC as they are nothing but gold diggers , fake users with no love in their hearts except interests. These ndc women all have one thing in common,irrational greed, no morals , no wisdom and no justice in their hearts just fine tuned in the art of lies and deceit.

Mr. Mahama and his NDC tricksters are not interested in priorities that would ease the suffering of Ghanaians. They are only interested in prestigious signature projects for the enjoyment of few ruling elites regardless of whether the inflated projects are priorities and value for money or not. I wonder how they could account for the $37 billion they've borrowed so far. 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. They enjoy everything under the sun but ask us to wait for our basic needs in heaven. And as they ask us to tighten our belts for future betterment, they've already loosened theirs for immediate consumption. They didn't even respect our intelligence when they said there would be paradise in Ghana if we gave them another mandate after the 2016 elections. 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.

Power crisis to be resolved soon - Veep

Accra, Jan. 31, GNA - Vice President Aliu Mahama on Wednesday gave the assurance that full power supply to the country would be restored soon to save Ghanaians and businesses from the difficulties they were going through at present.

He said: "We recognize the difficulties though, and Government is making efforts to ensure that full power supply is restored soon for our Independent Day celebration on March 6, 2007.

The Vice President Mahama said this in a speech read on his behalf by Mr Clement Abavana of the Energy Ministry at a day's forum on the theme: "The Challenges of a Ghanaian Independent Power Producer (IPP), Way Forward" in Accra.

The programme was organized by CenPower Generation Company Limited, a local-based IPP which is currently developing an IPP project at Kpone, near Tema with a capacity of 300 megawatts.

Vice President Mahama said a major reason for the current power supply difficulty had been the inability of the Government to secure enough resources to execute its power supply expansion plans over the years.

"The Investment required for power supply capacity additions are huge. Government has not been able to secure such investment capital on its own.

"Given the inadequacy of our funding from traditional sources, the private sector is a welcome lifeline to ensuring electricity security and adequacy," he said.

Vice President Mahama announced that President John Agyekum Kufuor had recently assented to amendments to the Volta River Development Act, the Act under which the Volta River Authority was established.

He said the amendment to the Act had set the stage for the establishment of an autonomous national transmission company that would provide an open access transmission highway to enable power generators to reach their respective customers without discrimination.

"We believe the new environment will promote the growth of multiple electricity generating companies that will pave the way to achieving the objective of promoting a competitive power supply market," Vice President Mahama said.

He also announced that the Energy Commission in conjunction with the Ministry of Energy was formulating a comprehensive rules and regulations in respect of the new electricity supply market.

"I am aware that the absence of the market rules and regulations are discouraging the development of Independent Power Producers (IPPs)", Vice President Mahama said.

He said the Government recognised the importance of the Kpone Project as an important step towards achieving a fully independent and deregulated market and noted that the West African Gas Pipeline would be pursued in earnest to provide a long term and secure fuel supply for emerging IPPs.

Mr Isaac Sam, Government Advisor on Energy, said the country would need about 600 megawatts of power between now and 2010 and an additional 115 megawatts up to 2015, which required the need to marshal every effort for attainment.

Mr Sam said immediate measures being undertaken by Government to save the situation at present included the possibility to increase the energy import from Cote d'Ivoire and the installation of generating systems.

Nana Brew-Butler, Chairman of CenPower, said the Kpone project began in 1998 through the collaborative support of Infraco Limited, a United Kingdom (UK) based company whose share capital was provided by donor groups in the UK; Netherlands; Sweden; Switzerland; Austria and the World Bank.

Of course Dumsor is more of a financial problem than a technical problem.
You don't owe service providers such staggering amounts and expect dumsor to be a thing of the past, after you have stolen the funds.
It is functionally impossible, reasonably impossible, and intelligently impossible, unless of course you drink from the same trough as the completely incompetent and outrightly and unreservedly inept John Mahama NDC gov't.
To owe such an amount and expect power or dumsor, dumsor to end or abate, is to envision pigs grazing on the Moon. Not only is it impossible naturally, it is never going to happen and that is the harshest reality of the times.
This gov't is one that has completely obliterated the fortunes of this country within a relatively short time, on the back of thievery and incompetence and the must logical solution going forward, is to send them packing massively at the ballot box in 2016. There can be no buts, no if's, no nothing.
The failed leadership and governance of the John Dramani Mahama NDC gov't must go and go very, very fast. Enough is enough. Ghana must have change in 2016.

Clever but disingenuous arithmetic. The available capacity from Akosombo alone is about half its installed capacity due the low level of the dam. Bawumia's analysis should take this into consideration

No wonder you supervised the NPP finance minister to source a loan from a barber shop!!

Bawumia is an economist cum politician should be able to tell us the volume of crude oil and gas we needed to power the thermal plants and the water level to generate maximum capacity from Akosombo,Kpong and Bui Dams.On the financial aspect,Bawumia also failed to tell us how much amount do we need to buy feul for the plants on daily basis.He was only interested in telling us about debts.Bawumia as a running mate could not say how the NPP intends to solve the dumso crisis.I am not convinced that NPP WANTS TO GOVERN THIS COUNTRY.Thank you.
