WHY DID MUSLIMS ATTACK CHURCHES IN TAFO

IS ISLAM A RELIGION OF PEACE?.If Muslims have problems with traditional authorities in Tafo, why did they attack Christian churches. Mahama sees all these yet he will not condemn them. The last time, Muslims burnt down a christian Mission house in Atebubu and that one too he did not condemn it. Muslims went on demonstration in Takoradi for equal right in Christian schools and that one attracted condemnation from Mahama against Christian missionary schools. Why is it so? Is it because Mahama sees christians as too docile to be respected?

This country can only be what we all aspire it to be if we are constructive and objective in our arguments and comments without being subjective and insulting the persona of our leaders anyhow. NDC as a government has identified the problems of Ghanaians and is providing the antidotes to resolve all of them gradually. JDM realized that most people in the rural communities do not have access to quality education and health care hence the decision to construct 200 new SHS and CHPS compounds as a way of bring second cycle institution and quality healthcare deliveryto thier door steps respectively. Ghanaians were hit with energy crisis like a a chronic disease and as a caring government, he has put several measures in place to ameliorate the situation thus, the Karpower barge, Ameri Power plant and others to add more megawatts to the national grid consequently, the stable power supply being enjoyed by Ghanaians.

If you believe Afoko has facts about any stolen money of which Nana Addo, the nemesis of the Ndc and acting chairman Blay, are beneficiaries, Afoko can go ahead and tell Ghanaians. He is no longer the chairman and therefore would have no inhibition to tell the truth as he knows it. However, he would be minded that if one was put in a position of trust albeit, by default, the worse is to act a mediocre and incompetent chairman. Beyond this, will only result in public disgrace and distress to one's own family( Gregory Afoko ).

Can the NDC govt boast of any of these social & economic reliefs in their eight years of being in power?
they cant but rather have destroyed the little they inherited from NPP. Where is the community police ,cocoa mass spraying, NHIS, capitation,free maternal care for pregnant women etc.. they have collapsed all these things and now they have brought back the CASH AND CARRY system into our health sector.Is that what you / we want? the insecurity in this country? *economic hardship? pregnant women suffering at hospitals cos of lack of hospital beds ? etc
What the NDC govt has successfully achieved so far that has benefitted only few
*paid over $200m to themselves in the name of SADA . *over $400m in the name of GYEEDA *over $100m in the name ASOFOTON *wrongfully paid 51.2million Ghana cedis to Mr Wayomi in the name of
judgement debt.. *so many of them i cant even remember...
THE QUESTION IS : COULDNT THEY HAVE USED THE MONEY TO BUILD THE SUCCESSFUL COUNTRY WE ARE ALL LOOKING FOR?
Q2. will a claimed caring govt spend $3.6million just to rebrand broken buses whiles hospitals need monies for emergency purposes... its upon all these that we are saying the Mahama led NDC is a TOTAL FAILURE that should not be given a THIRD chance cos they have already messed up with the two we entrusted into their care . I I have been a strong Ndc fun before.I believe you have the nation at heart, if so then lets help SAVE IT NOW from the hands of these wicked,heartless NDC people

My dream is that one day, the hawk will be enthused and amused with the dance skills of the hen and people not deliberately suffer from selective myopic on commendable developments taking place in their country. though gradually, things are improving in the country. President Mahama has demonstrated great competency capable of handling and providing solutions to critical issues bedeviling the country since the mantle fell on him as president of this country. New life is being injected into our SHS and modern public universities springing up to augment the existing ones in the country. Power supply which was a major headache to Ghanaians has now improved drastically and dumsor is in the process of being buried perpetually. Ghanaians in remote areas are having access to quality health care delivery as a results of CHPS compounds and modern clinics and hospitals being built for them. Motorable roads to connect people to different towns and communities. Corruption is not only being dealt with aggressively, but also at the point of elimination due to the commitment of JDM and the implementation of the National Anti Corruption Action Plan, Money laundering and payroll reforms policies among others.

Even a thief like Gen Sani Abacha was able to provide roads, hospitals, fly-overs, boreholes, airports and even won African cup and FIFA Youth Championship for Nigerians. It was Sani Abacha who gave the presidential jet to JJ Rawlings which the latter leased to the Republic of Ghana as a presidential jet called Gulf Stream. This was revealed by Mahama Gwarzo, a security adviser and confidant of Gen Sani Abacha. Up till now Ghanaians do not know the owners of the Gulf Stream Jet. The secret came out after the demise of Abacha. Ghanaians should wait until the exit of Mahama before any conclusion can be drawn as to whether Mahama is a thief or not.

NPP is the most corrupt party, under kuffour's regime,President Kufuor's private residence was renovated at a whooping cost of 40 million cedis. when it was brought to light,they claimed that NPP government official named Mr. Marfo financed it.Again,the NPP MP for Abuakwa South,Samuel Atta Kyea went to court; with the aid of the Chief Justice, Theodora Woode trying to restrain the Electoral Commission from conducting the Tain election and he planed arranging to export dead bodies to the Volta Region with the intention of providing the evidential support to impugn the integrity of the election of the good people of the Volta Region. The NPP are only good at destroying,lying and deceiving the good people of Ghana.they cannot be taken seriously at all. they are a bunch of criminals.The NDC government however is working hard, led by John Mahama,an agreement was signed with Messrs Karadenic Power Group and Karpowership of Turkey for the provision of 450MW of power to help alleviate the power crisis. ultimately, the power situation which worsened has been solved and this proves that Mahama is a leader who delivers on his promises.

playing politics with religious issues can be very dangerous to the peace and security of Ghana. President Mahama is a father for all and does support the actions of one religion against the other. The attack in Tafo was not a fight between the Muslim and christian community but a land dispute between the chiefs and some Muslim youth. The attacked has been condemned and the issue has been brought under control following the intervention of the security personnel.

The only avowed enemy of Christians is Satan and so if Muslims have issues with traditional authorities, the best place Muslim youth should have attacked was the shrines of the traditional deities and not six ( Christian churches. This was deliberate and not a mistake. What would have happened afterwards if Christians had retaliated? Does it mean that Muslims are agents of Satan who has vowed to destroy the church? This is why Mahama should have condemned the Muslim youth for this needless provocation but unfortunately he did not. Is it because he is happy Muslims are destroying the church or he is brainless as a father.

read full comment

The controversy over the award of a monopoly licence to Afriwave Telecom Ghana Limited by the National Communications Authority (NCA) to operate interconnect clearing house (ICH) for telecom companies in the country has taken a new twist, with a revelation that the NCA purported evaluation report was unsigned.

The report, which was in the possession of a deputy Minister of Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, on Saturday during Joy Fm’s ‘News File’ programme, appeared to have no signatories of the members of the Application Evaluation Panel headed by Albert E. Enninful, deepening the suspicion that the bid process was cooked for Afriwave.

Policy think-tank IMANI Ghana had indicated that the processes leading to the award of the licence to Afriwave were riddled with fraud.

According to IMANI, the Application Evaluation Panel that looked into the capabilities of five companies that had put in bids to manage the ICH platform rigged the process in favour of Afriwave.

The companies were Afriwave, Subah Infosolutions, Prodigy International Limited, TCMS-GVG Consortium Limited and Channel IT Ghana Limited.

“This whole process was rigged to guarantee a perverted outcome that can be seen from the remarks of the panel in various parts of the report,” IMANI claimed, adding, “The Panel manipulated its own scoring scheme to ensure that Afriwave came on top, regardless of the actual results; and they did so with brazenness that is almost farcical.”

But the NCA says there were ‘some transpositional errors’ that led to some of the bidders scoring high marks during the assessment process but it was later ‘corrected.’

Interestingly, however, the NCA’s new ‘corrected’ report, based on which Afriwave was said to have won the contract on a silver platter, had no signatures, according to Dr Mathew Opoku Prempeh (popularly called Napo), MP for Manhyia South who was on the programme with Kwakye Ofosu.

According to Napo, the document being bandied about by the deputy minister was without signature, making its credibility highly suspicious.

Strangely, the report of the Application Evaluation Panel (AEP) which IMANI quoted from and Kwakye Ofosu described as fabricated and non-existent, rather has signatures of all the eight panel members and accepted by the NCA Board.

The report was received and the recommendations were accepted by the NCA Board chaired by Eugene Baffoe-Bonnie.

The Manhyia South MP believes that the whole process was fraught with fraud and should be cancelled. “There is no contract as it stands now,” he told DAILY GUIDE yesterday.

He explained that apart from the absence of a regulatory framework to guide the process, the six months’ provisional licence granted Afriwave had long expired. “The whole thing should start again,” he charged.

According to Napo, it was absurd to start a process and after 11 months come to say that you needed a legislation to govern the operation of ICH.

With the deepening controversy over the Afriwave deal, pressure group OccupyGhana believes that the matter can be put to rest if all documents about the deal are put out for public examination.

The group has written to the Director-General of NCA requesting for copies of the documents that the Authority relied on to award the licence to Afriwave.

In the letter, OccupyGhana specifically requested the individual panel members’ reports on the tender and minutes of the board meeting that approved the tender for Afriwave.

“We are asking for these in the exercise of our right to information under Article 21(1) (f) of the Constitution,” the letter, signed by Ing. Nana Sarpong Agyeman-Badu for OccupyGhana, stated.

“O you who have believed, do not ask about things which, if they are shown to you, will distress you….A people asked such before you; then they became thereby disbelievers.” (Qur’an 5:101-102)

Such a passage hardly inculcates a spirit of free inquiry and intellectual curiosity. And this is the wave of the future: since the Western government and media elites are now dedicated to avoiding offending Muslims at all costs, and even asking theological questions can offend Muslims, we all just must accept the dictates of our new overlords without question. Wan Sulaiman Wan Ismail should have known better.
“For seeking answers on Islam, Muslim gets charged with blasphemy,” by Zurairi Ar, Malay Mail Online, May 29, 2015:
KUALA LUMPUR, May 29 — “I bear witness that there is no god but Allah,” is the first part of the shahadah, a declaration of faith for Muslims, which has its origins in a verse in the Quran.
“I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of God,” is the second part, but unlike the first, it does not appear in any of the holy scriptures.
So, where did it come from?
This was the question on the mind of Wan Sulaiman Wan Ismail, 53, when he sought clarification in 2013 from religious teachers on the origin of a practice considered as one of the key pillars of Islam.
The former businessman from Perak said he raised that question to several religious teachers, including scholars in the Ipoh mufti office, the Perak religious authorities and even state mosque imams. Many of these clerics, he said, were familiar with him as he met with them regularly for the past 15 years.
None, however, were able to answer him, so Wan Sulaiman stopped asking a year later.
But for seeking answers, Wan Sulaiman earned the attention of the Perak Islamic Religious Department (JAIP). He was summoned several times in 2014 by the authority, whose officers he claimed tried to dissuade him from posing his questions and to convince him to abandon several Quranic practices he has adopted.
The matter came to a head on January 21 this year when state religious enforcers raided his home in Ipoh and confiscated his handwritten personal notes, in addition to screening his personal computer and mobile phone.
On the same day, Wan Sulaiman was charged in the Ipoh Shariah High Court under Section 15 of the Perak Shariah Criminal Enactment 1992, with “mocking, ridiculing or insulting Quranic or hadith texts”.
According to a copy of his charge sheet sighted by Malay Mail Online, the Perak religious enforcers claimed that Wan Sulaiman possessed notes, some of which were hung on his wall, that allegedly “ridicule” the hadith — the collections of Prophet Muhammad’s sayings and deeds.
Wan Sulaiman, however, insisted that the notes were meant only for his personal use.
The prosecution also accused him of disputing authentic hadith for failing to interpret the Quran, and of rejecting the shahadah as taught by Muhammad by allegedly only accepting the first part.
He was also accused of translating the terms “fajar prayers” and “wusto prayers” by “using his own intellect without referring to the Prophet’s hadith”.
His case was set to be heard on May 21, but it was postponed to July 2. If guilty, Wan Sulaiman can be fined not more than RM5,000, jailed not more than three years, or both….

What did the Ndc tell Ghanaians before the 2012 elections, for which reason, the Ndc claimed it won power. ' Yerbe dee kerker' why should NPP teach the government lessons it cannot comprehend. All the social programmes, a sound economy plus an oil and gas industry, handed down to the Ndc government have failed through incompetent management. Simply put, the NPP will stop corruption and manage the economy competently.

During promised Ghanaians better Ghana in their manifesto during the 2012 general elections and won the election based on that realistic manifesto. Ghana is far better off under the NDC government as compared to some years back. Today, people have access to quality health care delivery and potable water. Rural communities that have been in darkness for decades are now being connected to the national grid under the rural electrification project. The youth are being supported through several social intervention programes such as the YEA, YES, LEAP etc. Talking about managing the economy and stopping corruption, The NDC government has managed the economy very well since they came into power. in spite some challenges, the economy continues to expand with foreign investors having confidence in it. The Country's GDP increased from 30 Billion cedis in 2008 to 133 billion cedis in 2015. On corruption, its not only being fought with full amour but also being eliminated with implementations of policies such as the Payroll reform, Anti-Money Laundering, and National Anti Corruption Action Plan.

We wrote that apart from those in state employment the state does not put money into the pockets of citizens.
Taxes and loans that the state collect or receive are used for infrastructure development and pay state employees, development of water, electricity, roads, hospitals, schools, health and other aspects of the national economy.
It looks like Nana Akufo-Addo is coming to sell drugs as he party under John Kufuor did from 2001 and 2009 and throw the money to people from the streets.

The phrase "Money in your pockets" next year does not mean direct money in the pockets of Ghanaians. the question is, how do you get money in your pocket if you are not working or employed? by that comment,the NDC government seeks to support the youths through its social intervention programmes and create more job opportunities for the youth to earn income to take care of themselves. to make that a reality, several factories are under construction including the fish processing company, Komenda Sugar factory which when completed will provide over 7000 direct jobs to the youth. The issues with the NHIS and debt is that, most of the hospitals inflate claims to dupe the state, however, genuine claims are being paid promptly. caterers of the school feeding programme have been paid recently monies due them. Talking about JDM and his appointees engaging in money laundering is just a bseless argument and propaganda that must be discarded.

lets go beyond the literary meaning of the presidents comment and we will
appreciate the actual meaning of "Money in your pocket". What the president
meant was that, he has invested so much in infrastructure development and
projects that will translate into job opportunities for Ghanaians by next
year to some money into their pockets which is very laudable. the new sugar
factor and fish processing company is near completion to provide more
direct jobs. Thus, the money in your pocket which means job opportunities
is very realistic. To refresh our memories a bit, hikes in utility tariffs
have been reduced by 10-15% while petroleum products on the other hand by
2%. Public sector workers salaries have been increased by 10% across board.

The Ameri Power deal and the Turkey Karpower barge are really saving Ghana from the protected power crisis. the karpower barge and the ameri power plant are adding 225 and 250 MW to the national grid respectively. as a result, Ghanaians are enjoying stable power supply. Payroll reform mechanisms have been put in place to deal with corruption by preventing human contacts with cash and eliminating ghost names from the payroll system. with respect to the woyome issue, the court has passed judgement and he is expected to refund the money to the state on installment basis.

The opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has hit out at President Mahama saying he lacks integrity to move Ghana forward.

Addressing a Press Conference at the Party’s headquarters in Accra on Tuesday, Yaw Buabeng Asamoah, a member of the Communication's Team of the NPP, said if not for the NPP a lot of corrupt acts would have been swept under the carpet by the NDC.

He added that President Mahama cannot be trusted adding that “a vote for him is a vote for hopelessness for the youth and a vote for corruption”.

According to the NPP, “in John Dramani Mahama, Ghana has a president who suffers from a chronic case of indecisiveness” and must not be entrusted with the task of presiding over the country for the next four years.

Below is the full statement by the NPP

GOING into a sixth election under the 1992 Constitution, Ghanaians, especially the youth, are confronted by a choice between policy effectiveness from the NPP and corruption and propaganda from the incumbent NDC.

The NPP is offering solid policy options aimed at a transformed knowledge economy for the benefit of the youth. On the other hand, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and President John Mahama, say it is impossible to do anything but have decided to bamboozle the people of Ghana with PR gimmicks and media stunts. Consequently, the NDC is spending obscene millions of Ghana cedis on billboards, flag posts and expensive vinyl posters in a desperate attempt to deceive Ghanaian voters once again on December 7, 2012.

Beyond the billboards, what represents the true NDC? The latest big billboards, one of which is in front of the Police HQ, Accra, describes President John Mahama in the following empty terms: “ACCESSIBLE, DECISIVE AND ACTION-DRIVEN”.

ACCESSIBLE TO CORRUPT FOREIGN FIRMS

We do not doubt President Mahama’s accessibility. Whilst GREDA members were knocking at his Castle door for audience, he walked past them and flew all the way to Korea to give STX Korea access to a $10 billion housing deal at an unprecedented inflated cost, MAKING THAT DEAL, PROBABLY, the most corrupt international loan agreement ever signed by any government in Ghana.

President Mahama, after travelling to Korea twice to personally negotiate this controversially corrupt deal, pushed his NDC MPs to pass the $1.5 billion STX suppliers’ credit agreement for the construction of a mere 30,000 housing units, most of them one-bedroom flats, for our security agents. As if that deal was not bad enough, he threw in an additional $264 million of free money to the Koreans for some strange animal he called “political risk insurance”.

Ladies and gentlemen, the only political risk that Ghanaians need to insure themselves against is an NDC government led by John Dramani Mahama. The only insurance against such a risk is to vote out the NDC on December 7.

President John Dramani Mahama is noted for giving access to every businessman so long as you are not Ghanaian. He gave access to the Chinese to dig the grave of our late President, Prof John Atta Mills. He has given access again to the Chinese to build a market in Cape Coast.

When STX failed, he did not turn to Ghanaian contractors, no. He looked down, to South Africa to bring GUMA. True to his new propaganda as ‘Action-driven’, nothing came out of the GUMA housing deal. With GUMA also failing, he has now turned to a group of Nigerians, with some very dubious record in Nigeria of running away with pubic funds, to now build us houses and, again, at inflated cost.

GHANA IS NOT FOR SALE

In John Dramani Mahama, Ghanaians have a leader who does not believe in Ghanaians. Our message to President John Dramani Mahama is simple: MR PRESIDENT, GHANA IS NOT FOR SALE.

We believe Ghanaians will not to be taken in by John Dramani Mahama’s PR gimmicks of a “very very nice man”, more so the covert attempts to subdue the media to his will. We have all been witnesses to the failure of their so-called Better Ghana Agenda and now, with three months to go they are rushing to China to buy school buses, outboard motors, motorbikes and sewing machines at inflated prices all to buy votes. Ghanaians should say a big ‘NO’ to this www.lastminute.com government. The NDC is running on its last tank and we must not refill their gas-guzzling tank in December.

Running a nation is a serious business and it needs serious people with a serious agenda on how to resolve the serious issues confronting a serious nation like Ghana.

If the President says he is accessible then we want Ghanaians to be also accessible to who the real John Dramani Mahama is. We want Ghanaians to know the man behind the dark glasses and we promise to help Ghanaians know who the real JDM is before December 7.

DECISIVE

On his new billboards, we are told that the President is “decisive.” This is a very big joke. Why would the NDC want to lie to the good people of Ghana that President John Dramani Mahama is decisive when the President himself admits that his single biggest problem in this world is that he cannot take a decision?

He could not take a decision when he was being asked to contest for the leadership in 2006, saying he was preparing to go to South Africa to study for his PHD. Again in 2008, he first said no when Prof Mills approached him to be his running mate and had to rely on Stan Dogbe and Haruna Iddrisu to make up John Dramani Mahama’s mind for him. In fact, it took Stan Dogbe in early 2008 to tear John Mahama’s signed letter addressed to Prof Mills that he was not interested in becoming his running mate and that he was quitting politics to go back to school.

Today, by a very unfortunate accident of history, John Dramani Mahama is our unelected caretaker President who, in his wisdom, has attributed this sad accident of history to the wisdom of God. God should not be insulted.

Ladies and gentlemen of the media, in John Dramani Mahama, Ghana has a president who suffers from a chronic case of indecisiveness. We are not saying this. We are simply using his words.

In his book, ‘My First Coup D’etat’, President John Dramani Mahama, concludes in the last paragraph, “All the decisions I have made in my life were regularly plagued with doubt. It can be challenging to sustain that feeling of hope or the belief that things will turn out for the best.

Again and again, I have felt like that boy Dramani, on the bicycle going downhill fast, without any brakes and not knowing which way to turn.” It is worth pointing out that that this book has just been written and was only launched in July this year. The sentiments expressed in the book therefore are very much what the President believes in today.

PRESIDENT MAHAMA CANNOT BE TRUSTED

Is this the same man that today, in an attempt to rebrand himself for the presidential election, has turned around to say one of his greatest attributes is his decisiveness? This is a big lie! The question then is this: how many other big and small lies has he told us and is he going to tell us? President Mahama cannot be trusted. You just can’t trust John Dramani Mahama.

You don’t have to take it from us, just look at the big gap between what he says and what he does; between what he promises and what he delivers; between who he is and who he says he is.

ACTION ORIENTED MAN

In 2008, the slogan for candidate Mills and running mate Mahama was very appealing: “I Care For You”. To support this, the major campaign theme and promise was that they were going to deliver on a Better Ghana Agenda. They promised to invest in people, jobs and the economy to ensure prosperity for all. After two years and the lie of creating 1.6 million propaganda jobs, they christened 2011 ‘Action Year’. Do you catch the consistency in the lie: Action Year yesterday, Action-Oriented man today!

Yet, not a single major item that they promised to deliver in that Action Year was materialized. In fact they did not even start: not STX, not Cape Coast Stadium, Not Kotokuroba Market, not Eastern Corridor Road and none of the jobs that they promised. Instead, what they delivered was hundreds of millions of dollars of action on judgment debts, most of whom came with serious question marks, steep in either gargantuan theft or reckless disregard for the use of public funds.

GHANAIANS ARE POORER TODAY

Today, Ghanaians have gotten poorer, cost of living is so high, unemployment is destroying the youth and the only response from President John Dramani Mahama and his team is to continue with the lies and propaganda. They have simply lost touch with the concerns and problems of the ordinary Ghanaian. They just don’t care. They can’t be bothered by the things that matter to you and I.

If they did, why then would they come to this 2012 election telling us that they have scored “unprecedented” success? Why would they say boldly to Ghanaians: “Still Pursuing a Better Ghana”, and “Working for you”. So where is the Better Ghana? Who are those living in that Better Ghana? It has been a Better Ghana for the few “Greedy Bastards” and their families, girlfriends and close friends. And, a very bitter Ghana for the vast majority of Ghanaians.

This is a government that has spent more money in less than four years than what President Kufuor or President Rawlings spent in each of their 8 long years. This is a government that has borrowed more money in three and a half years than what all the previous governments put together did in 52 years and yet, we do not see any real evidence of what they have done with all the money. NA SIKA NO WO HENE, MAHAMA?

We need to interrogate what John Mahama and the NDC mean when they say “Working for you.” How really encompassing is this NDC ‘You’? Do you feel a part of it? Are you one of the you?

Ladies and gentlemen, what the evidence has shown us in the last 3½ years is that “you” means “themselves”. The true meaning of “Working for you” is “Working for themselves”. For the past 3½ years all their actions, including the building of a $20 million Party headquarters, the expansion of Asiedu Nketsiah’s block factory, to the purchasing of properties by ministers and their deputies, the acquisition of private jets, inflated procurement deals that were sole sourced to cronies, are all indicative of the fact that they are “working for themselves.”

When the NDC say they are working for you, they mean that they are working for the Greedy Bastards, Babies with Sharp Teeth, and their ‘Brothers and Sisters’. When the NDC say ‘Working for You’ they mean they are working for Woyome, CP, Waterville, Rockshell, Armajaro, Africa Automobile, ISOFOTON, corrupt foreign companies willing to give them a generous cut of the deal. For the NDC, working for you means working for themselves.

President Mahama, who was and is still in charge of the country’s economic management team, will have to account to Ghanaians and tell us all how he has managed the resources of our dear nation. How much resources have they had and what have they to show for all the monies that they have squandered within this short period? He has to explain to us what went wrong with the Better Ghana they promised. What was the real agenda behind that Better Ghana slogan? President John Dramani Mahama cannot be trusted because he has been the main champion of some of the most corrupt deals ever seen in this Republic. The STX and Embraer Jet and the $17 million hangar easily come to mind.

Ladies and Gentlemen, this goes to show how dangerous the NDC is to the future of the youth, to the future of this country. A vote for John Dramani Mahama and the NDC on December 7 means a vote for bankruptcy and corruption. It means a vote for more debt, fewer jobs, more incompetence, lies, propaganda and failed promises.

It is this same John Mahama who led the Opus 7 deal, where a clay-based manufacturer offered to build 12 district hospitals at the cost of $40 million each. This is the man who brought the Koreans to build houses for Ghana and who, without laying a single block on the ground, are demanding $17 million. The question is, “If the Koreans are claiming to have spent $17 million, then into whose pockets did this $17 million go that the Koreans are demanding a refund?”

JOHN THE PATRIOT

President Mahama has called for Ghanaians to be patriotic, and yet when it comes to the construction of the Kotokuraba market, or even the digging of graves, he prefers the Chinese to the Ghanaian. President Mahama believes the Ghanaian carpenter, mason, plumber, electrician, unemployed architects from our universities looking for jobs are not qualified compared to their Chinese counterparts.

While our medical schools, including the new one at UDS, Tamale, are struggling for funding, John Dramani Mahama, during his April 2011 trip to Cuba, brokered a deal for 250 Ghanaian students to be trained as doctors at a total cost of GH¢160 million. This same amount could have trained 883 doctors right here in Ghana. Again, there is even an allegation of corruption here. According to the official website of the Cuban embassy in Ghana, Cuba stated that all 250 students will be given scholarships by the Cuban government. I quote some portions of the bilateral relations relative to the scholarship agreement, which states;

“… [U]nder the agreements, the Cuban government will provide scholarship for all the 250 students who were selected from deprived communities throughout the country and would be ready to come back to serve their communities…” So who is lying to who?

MERCHANT BANK, SSNIT AND IBRAHIM MAHAMA’S DEBT

On Wednesday, August 22, 2012, Reuters carried a report, “FirstRand Pays $91m for Merchant Bank Ghana Stake.” The story was that South Africa's FirstRand was paying 746.2 million rand (US$91m) for a 75 percent stake in Merchant Bank Ghana to expand its presence on the continent. The deal has the approval of Ghanaian shareholders, mainly the Government of Ghana. Merchant Bank, one of the very few remaining Ghanaian banks, was collapsing, reeling under some GHC330 million of loans, much of which have been turned into bad debt.

Instructively, the report added, “The transaction also excludes some loans on MBG's balance sheet, which existing shareholders will acquire and continue to collect outstanding balances.”

USING WORKERS PENSION TO SERVICE FAMILY DEBTS

Now, who are the existing shareholders of Merchant Bank who have been so kind to the South Africans that they have decided to absolve the non-performing loans on the bank’s books, amounting to some 50% of the GH¢330 million? The answer is simple: SSNIT, the pension fund, owns 98% of Merchant Bank, with SIC Life, owning the remaining 2% - a bank completely 100% owned by Ghana.

What this deal, struck under President John Dramani Mahama means is that the suffering workers of Ghana have been forced to swallow the bad debts incurred by some business people so that those business people can go on enjoying their life of luxury, including flying around in their private jets. Let me repeat, the pension of Ghanaian workers have been sacrificed to pay off debts that they knew nothing of so that some few people could continue having access to their privileged lives of comfort and opulence.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have provided for you in this statement, a list of the companies whose debts have been forced down the throat of workers’ pension. Top on the list, owing 19.1% or GHC57.2m, is Engineers & Planners Company Limited, a business owned by the junior brother of President John Dramani Mahama. We do not wish the young, very enterprising man ill, in fact we celebrate success.

But, when your company falls into bad debt and cannot service its loans and the pension fund of the workers of Ghana are forced by the President, who happens to be your brother, for that pension fund to ring fence and take on your debt, then we have to ask some serious questions.

Moreover, is it the case that the MD who signed off on the loans and was sacked is now in the office of the President as an Advisor?

Ladies and Gentlemen, President Mahama lacks the integrity. A vote for JDM is a vote for hopelessness for the youth and a vote for corruption. A vote for Mahama is a vote for the sellout of our future. He has nothing to offer to the youth.

CHANGE NOW! MOVE GHANA FORWARD…

Thank you.

Oh Fredie Blay, when would you know shame? Do you have to talk when you have no substance to talk about? What kind of attention do you need? Give Afoko back his position and go and seek pardon and reconciliation with the CPP. You are just there to seek the down fall of NADAA. What do you mean by government cannot buy crude oil - has TOR not started working? What is it TOR Refining then. Cannot provide energy, is not rather the case that you are ashamed of the massive improvement in the energy sector. Your campaign word 'incompetence' has become a moot cliche, why don't you drop it and look for another one or better still give Ghanaians your working definition of it.

President JDM is noted for making realistic promises. Examples of such promises includes building of 200 new SHS of which several have been commissioned already, building of Universities and we have seen two of them already, fixing the power crisis and Ghanaians are enjoying stable power supply with no more dumsor, modern hospitals, CHPS compounds, provision of potable water, construction and rehabilitation of roads, just name them and u will see that it has been delivered. in light of these, believe JDM when he says money in your pocket (jobs) next year because he has been tried and tested.

Something is really wrong with this midget Blay comparing to the northerner Afoko whom he helped to be dumped. Blay had been a man of negativity since generation that is why he supports and projects negative things which portrays him as pesssimist subject to only evil thoughts. There should be joy with good promises of the future. Period

The unabated frustration of Blay that the NPP will in the futurte blame him of the failure to win the 2016 elections had made him to be very funny, hence there is no wonder why he came out to condemn the hopeful promises that the president gave to the populace that money would be in their pockets in the future.

Mahama hopefully promised Ghanaians that the DUMSOR would be a thing of the past, and today the NPP is no more trumpeting the issue of DUMSOR like they did before in disturbing the peace of the people, meaning the presidents promises do work out with the help of God that created Ghana.

What is wrong if the President promises the people. He has almost suceeded with the issue of DUMSOR, why not with the putting of money in the pockets of the people as long as our national hope is that our nation's economy ought to be good in the days ahead.

I think that is the same message the NPP is hopefully preaching to convince the voters thus what is wrong if the Mahama's NDC is giving similar promises of bright future.

My expectation is that if Blay is a good political minded fellow he needed not to be angry of the hopeful promises of our dear president because at the end of the day we all expect good things to be in our hands, and surely it would be because ''Rome was not built in a day''. Mahama's government cant do all yet they are tackling things within authority of which I wish them to accomplish things favorably for our nation's goodness.

The NPP under Kufour took Ghana to HIPC, fine and good, yet with all the possibilities given us in relation to loans and donations, the NPP under Kufour did leave DEBT which in real sense should not have been with the way they do talk and tackle political issues in the areas of finances.

Teachers across the country have threatened to lay down their tools if government does not pay them their outstanding arrears by February 29, 2015.

They have accused government of breaching an agreement to pay their outstanding salary arrears, car maintenance allowances and transfer grants by June 13, 2015.

In an interview on Joy FM Monday morning, the President of NAGRAT, Christian Adai-Poku said the leadership have been compelled to make the move due to the persistent harassment from its membership.

He said, “When we had the agreement they went to sleep. Our teachers are pestering us everywhere. Some are even insulting us. I mean a lot of things are happening and it’s not palatable. It’s as if government wants us to set us against our members and that is not fair.”

Mr Adai-Poku noted that they have served the National Labour Commission notice of the intended strike if their arrears are not paid them by the end of the month.

Literal translation of putting money into people's pocket is really the worse and highest form of mediocrity. To educate Blay, it means job creation for the broad masses who do not have jobs.

Misinterpretation of Manama's comment and alluding to its literary meaning just for political gimmick or score political points is not the way we should be going as a country. Money in your pockets means u will get jobs to do to earn income to fill your pockets with cash. JDM unlike other political parties that will promise heaven and earth to capture political power, makes realistic promises. JDM has not deceived Ghanaians as he has kept to all his promises and still delivering on the rest to make this country a better place such that people will not even conceive the idea of travelling abroad for greener pasture.

Let's commend government where necessary and encourage him to do more for this country. Come Nov 7, the electorate who are not myopic about the development ongoing in this country will reelect JDM.

You see if you don't have any campaign strategy apart from criticizing Govt and hoping that it fails for you to win, you run the risk of frustration, especially when the Govt delivers on what it promised. "Dumsor" was NPP main strategy, now they are chasing shadows. In football, you don't only neutralize your opponents' strategy, you impose yours. As it is the NPP is shocked to see all the development projects of President Mahama coming to fruition. All they can say now, is that they were over costed. At least that way no one can argue with them. So which project in Ghana has not been overcosted? Opana, answer this or give back the post to its rightful owner. You ursuper.

The protracted power crisis christened as dumsor was in existence before JDM assumed office as president which he promised to fixed. he kept to that promised and has fixed it as Ghanaians are currently not complaining about dumsor. the ameri power plant, karpower barge, and other additional generation mix is adding over 1000 MW to the national grid. Corruption is something that's part of human nature and not the doing of JDM. however, he is committed to eliminating it from the country. you may want to know how he is doing it right? A number of policies including the National Anti Corruption Action Plan and Payroll Reform mechanisms are being implemented aimed to eliminating it. just as they saying goes that the prophet is not accepted in his homeland , BBC Africa acknowledged government's effort in handling corruption. Talking about utility tariffs, hikes in utility tariffs have been reduced drastically as well as petroleum products. For epitome saga, he has been ordered by the court to refund the money to the state. for the robbery and contract killing is just baseless and unfounded allegations to bring the image of the president to disrepute as they can not be attributed to him as being responsible. besides, the guy who recently attacked and killed the late Hon JB Danquah has been arrested and confessed to committing the crime and would be prosecuted soon. Money in your pockets goes beyond its literary meaning as it rather means job opportunities.

Mr No Ideas Blay, what is wrong for a politician to clamour for votes by promising to put money in peoples' pockets. Alan Cash's campaign slogan was Jobs for the People/Cash for the People! If NPP had adopted that in 2008 and 2012, we wouldn't be in opposition now. After clandestinally usurping Afoko for the party's leadership, it is apparent you are bereft of any bright ideas for the party's 2016 platform. Swallow your prides and humbly adopt Alan's PSI and Rural Enterprise Scheme as cardinal elements for job creation/ consequent placement of money in peoples' pockets! And see if that wouldn't take us closer to Jubilee House.

Let this evil opportunist and back-stabber get the heck off Public forums to let more patriotic and honest leaders interact with the Population.

He has been using his Paper, the Daily Guide, to steal undeserving favors and recognition from the NPP, and causing havoc in the lives of better citizens and NPP leaders like Afoko and Kwabena Agyepong.

Since when did Freddie Blay earn anything with his own honest efforts?
