Gov’t, PURC must heed CCG’s appeal – Osei Ye

NDC has developed “yentie obia” attitude as they can always have their way through their dubious deals with a backing from the majority in Parliament to suppress the suffering masses. They feel they have the majority in Parliament to pass any bill that addresses their interest than Ghanaians.

“Ghanaians are watching how a Chinese bus which cost $70,000 is being sold to us at the cost of $270,000; they are watching how one particular company has been awarded all the construction contracts at Kwame Nkrumah Circle, Tamale Airport and Kasoa interchange and yet there is no transparency”, he warned.

Just can't stop laughing. Politics is interesting and stupid in Ghana. Were Kuffour and Papa Jerry informed about their pictures on the buses at that cost? And did they agree at the cost as given by the government?

Frank,rebranding those buses to me was foolish,it was not necessary considering the cost,I like Ghana flag but I will not paint anything of mine with national colors,it looks very odd and you can tell if you see that train which was painted in national colors,the same as we have on these buses together with the pictures of the president and the former presidents.

Now,let us ask ourselves if it makes sense to demand from the former presidents to ask that their names be removed from the buses,how can they do that,in the first place will that make Ghanaians to get the money back,if they remove their pictures are we going to sell those pictures to get the money back,can we use our brains at least for once before writing foolish petitions to know that removing the pictures and painting them again will cost more money,how do we reason as people,are we really normal people?

This is a senseles demand which should be treated as such.

Ghana lack vision that's why things seem not to work.this rebranding and paying money which is now in question is misplaced priorities. In the west buses are used as form of revenue generation by leasing it to companies to use them as advertising post thereby making money for the transport company. i have seen in the past same thing have been done in Ghana because MMT has some of their buses been used by companies for advert. so why are thing changed this time and also incurring financial burden on the nation Ghana which struggles to pay its debt. Is it a way of advertising John Mahama for 2016 election becuase his picture is clearly in colourd unlike the other ex-prez whose pictures are is black and white or is it a way of helping an NDC sympathiser making money which has now come out clearly as bloated cost. Our leaders should think about Ghana first and stop persuing personal interest. if this is the way we always want to go then Ghana has a long way to go in order to catch up.

'Concerned citizens'. it will be wise for you to channel your advice for the removal of effigies of the former head of states including the current president on the buses to president John Jerry Rawlings only. Please leave out Mr. John Agyekeum Kufour because during his time as a president he did worse things: Do you remember the decorative gold chains for which he decorated himself with an expensive gold chain? The legal maxim is that :'He who goes to equity must go with clean hands'. Mr. Kufour who is a lawyer understands this maxim very well.

Ghanaians still do not get the fire play in this dirty Ghanaian politics ; there is no way JJ Rawlings and Kuffour are going to lift a finger to show displeasure at this CRAZY STEALING initiative by Jon Mahama ; the reasons are simple there is the theory of political inter connections between the players ; JJ Rawlings is connected by his NDC party affiliation and gets every thing done if JJ Rawlings tells Jon Mahama ; JJ Rawlings gets paid through NDC party deals ; so why do you think JJ Rawlings will show his displeasure at removing the pictures; the stooodity of such display is that it is asummed that such display in marketing terms will ferment some image display in the minds of people that Jojn Mahama was the importer of these buses and so people should vote for the the stealer - WHAT THEY FORGET IS THAT PEOPLE ARE NOT THAT STOOOOOPID ; the case with WOFA Kuffour is simple ; he has family and fratenal connections with the Jon Mahama family and was instrumental an giving Ibrahim Mahama the lead to obtain loans from Merchant Bank ; Kuffour did same for his son to buy the Hotel Kuffour ; people in Ghana are not interested in the past and have complete collective amensia because if you forget your past you shall not future ; we as a nation are very interconnnected ; the Akans are connected to people in the notrh and are to people in the south ; the Fantes ; Akyems the Ga and other tribes ; history tells us that even the Ayigbes/ewes are strongly connected to the GAS; the GAs are also connected to the ; Akwamus ; the Akwapims and so on ; JJ Rawlings and Kuffour can never tell Jon Mahama to remove these brandings ; but the is that if JON Mahama will lose the 2016 elections he will lose; it does not matter whether he brands everything in Ghana -PEOPLE THINK !!!!!!!!!

It is a pity Ghanaians most often than not misplace their civil rights and responsibilities because of ignorance. We do not need past presidents to order the incumbent president to get those controversial images off the buses. The civilians through submissions to the local assemblies could exercise ther rights to get this done. These buses could earn so much if businesses advertise on them. Mahama is indeed a dead goat.

Yes, this is purely NPP tribal and hate village oriented move which is totally unneccessary since this is not an issue of village litigation but national affairs which ought not to be aligned to such village mindset.

Why do you these village minded people like to take every situation into hate politics, a behaviour which never helps a nation to develop. We should all understand that unity based on seeing the nation moving forward ought to be our daily focus and awareness that must be cheerished by all, and if so why political and tribal bigotry then.

It is better to look at our national political issues from the angle of positive thought which will have less to do with hatred based politics which had been our failure in our general national politics since independence. This evil way of doing politics is basically no more needed in our Ghana.

There seems to be a rather clever way of keeping ndc in power by these buses being rebranded. It cements into the minds of the people that the president is associated with all the achievements of the other ex presidents. It puts him at par with them. It is memorable, comfortable and gives him an air of a man in charge. Clever neuro politicking. The more people seeing this bus, the more they will vote for him. Expecially the illiterates and people who don't vote on issues.
