It is a fact that homosexuals are not normal human beings. Instead of a juicy vagina Akomea and co are crazy about men's anuses! And such a person is allowed to talk to we the normal people? Then they could as well let a mad man be their spokesman, after all both are abnormal. NPP is really insulting us.

Let's pray that making homosexuals part of NPP leadership will not bring a collective curse on the party.

Sorry Mate, Unions don't create jobs. Government has a responsibility to create enabling conditions for job creation. If you hike taxes with no real commensurate wage increment you stifle the ordinary person's ability to be creative. Poor and increased lending conditions will not create an enabling environment for economic activity. Have you been in the country of late. Stop Bla Bla saying and be factual.

If this is the mentality of a party who wants to lead Ghana then God save us. Is Akomea abreast with the economic situation in the country. The present government may be facing some challenges due to what Npp left behind for Atta Mills to inherit. If Atta Mills had followed Rawlings political advice to clean the house (both within Npp and Ndc) such rot from Akomea and his Npp cohorts would never surface.

It seems, in my opinion, that most Ghanaians are sooo blinded by emotional politics that they cannot discuss objectively when it comes to matters of their own welfare and well being. What is so wrong about what the man is saying about the tax hikes? To all those who have turned this into a political insulting frenzy my question is are you well off with your finances to cope with these tax hikes that is going on? Let us please be objective and try to solve national issues that affect all Ghanaians regardless of your political leanings

Hi Nkum,
I agree with you. Objectivity has lost its meaning. I don't blame anyone. The educational system that teaches you to chew and pour only what the teacher has taught and not to think for ourselves and be more probing may need to be blamed. We cannot think unfortunately outside the square. Have an opposing view and you are branded a traitor. Do we understand democracy? God help us!

Is Akomea any different from those that are blinded politically in here? Yes, the insults poured on him is unnecessary, but where was Rapper Akomea during Kufuor's 100% tax hike without a wage increase in sight before the poor taxpayers? What I don't get about people your kind is, you complain awful unnecessarily lot about the stagnation in the country over the years and longing for some drastic and miraculous change.

Yet, it's equally abomination when levies are imposed upon the same taxpayers to create this change you so dearly seek. We often "waow" the conditions in the western world so proudly about every day, but always almost turn a blind eye to the fact that they achieved all that through robust tax collecting system to get to where they are today. Bias political debate is really sinking Ghana dangerously into the vast chasm of unknown indeed.

Hi Kwabla,
Why do we keep misinterpreting issues. Expressing ones political and civil right must not be misconstrued as a toppling of government. Government must be grateful that citizens can express their concerns so government can sit up and do proper social impact analysis of its policies.
Please we all want Ghana to prosper but our argument are always polarized and this attitude does not help nation building.

Thanks to the rational Labour who believes that sacrifice yield good results. I call our labour force patriotic citizens of the land, because their actions in this situation means their education acquired had helped them to understand the economy of our nation and the world in general.

Our nation's economy is basically in trouble which is beyond control and thus the only way for the govt to overcome is to increase taxes which in normal terms should not have happened especially in election times.

The Ghanaian negative political minds have failed to realise the facts of the drop in price of oil internationally which had frustrated our economy and all economies that relied on oil for their national developmental plans.

Akomea should have congratulated the labour with thanks of their matured reaction, but instead he stated they had being too lenient. This Akomea and others of his party NPP look at our situations with a village political eye which only wish the downfall of the government.

This is evil political behaviour of the NPP which is based on selfishness and greediness. The labour force had exhibited their understanding of the nation's genuine economical predicaments more than the NPP collectively. Period. Bravooo our dear labour force.
