Dr. Bawumia pointed out that the NDC had increased Ghana’s debt in seven years by GHC90 billion, from GHC9.5 billion at the end of 2009 to some GHC99 billion currently; an equivalent of some 37 billion dollars at the time of borrowing.

“First, If you sum the cost of all the loan financed projects listed in the green book (even including those with artistic impressions, it is less than $7 billion. Meanwhile, the government has borrowed the equivalent of $37 billion so where is the rest of the money? Indeed, given the resources at its disposal one should expect at least four times the quantum of investment that the NDC claims to have undertaken”, Dr. Bawumia said, as he began listing the six reasons.

Dr. Bawumia proceeded to list a number of things the over 30billion dollars from borrowing the NDC cannot account for, could have done, which proves that contrary to the claims, the NDC has done a bad job at giving Ghanaians their due after undertaking unprecedented borrowing in the last seven years.

I wonder why this dead goat is still in power ? Where are men ? Where are the laws of the land ..... If all these have failed the tomb will show the way on November 7. But as nana said don't be swayed by their monies ..... The NDC currently has the ability to give every electorate an amount of 1000gh as bribe to get their way through but never again.. The oil money is there, Gitmo money , woyomey money, sada money, bus branding, tree planting , nk)nf3m money, geeda, trainees allowances withdrawal etc etc..... Hey really have the money to give the 15m voters, GH 1000 each to wash ppls brain .... We must think of the future ....

This Government culpability is at the back of the complaint that many Teachers have not been paid their salaries for the last 4 YEARS! Why?

If all the allegations we hear about the way the Government has been treating Teachers and Schools are true, it beats my imagination how our Government Officials could even live with such guilt.

How could the members of the Government, including the President, knowingly ignore paying Teachers for 4 YEARS, and live to eat and drink and party while the Teachers languish in such state of depravity and uncertainty of where their next meals would come from?

If the allegations are true, the Government should immediately halt receiving their salaries until all the Teachers are fully paid their arrears and currently due salaries.

Teachers are not voluntary slaves to toil freely for the Government Officials to live fat on their services. Some might think the Officials do not directly benefit from the services of the Teachers. But the truth is that the long-suffering patience the Teachers mustered to wait for 4 YEARS offered the Government a relatively peaceful atmosphere and the semblance of a good-job-done to justify receiving their own salaries.

The Budget the Government presented to the Parliament included allocations meant for paying the Teachers all over the Country. So, when it got approved, the Teachers should have gotten their share in Salaries. Where, then, did that part of the Budget go?

Teachers are not dispensable mummified objects to be denied food, shelter and other necessities of life, and still expected to work, teaching our school children. Even robots would have to be regularly maintained. Therefore, to have Teachers go without salaries for 4 YEARS is a crime against humanity and the Government should be taken to the Hague for that. Darn it!

When will such criminal negligence by our own Government stop?!!! Enough is enough!!!!!!

As these Teachers go unpaid, the Government ironically expects them to keep teaching to keep its image intact so its corrupt and inept members could continue to live in opulence. Some members of the Government are said to have their Children in foreign Schools, and even if the upkeep of these wards of the Government Officials' strictly come from the pockets of the Officials themselves, it is most likely that it is our foreign exchange reserves that are tapped into to make those payments in parallel.

Such neglect of the Teachers and our Schools are not only an irrepressible signal of our Government's failure but also simply morally reprehensible.

So, for once, let President Mahama get down into the trenches to personally see to the immediate redress of this horrible injustice to the Teachers and any other Government employee in a similar situation of non-payment of Salaries.

In fact, I've had it with the seemingly endless trend of our Government's failures, and if I were the sole referee in deciding who our next President and Government would be, the existence of this inhumane treatment of the Teachers alone would disqualify the Mahama Administration from remaining in Power or continuing to govern beyond the Elections.

If President Mahama did not know of this problem with the Teachers until now, it means his Minister of Education and her subordinates have been hiding the it, and, perhaps, many more of their non-performance and inefficiencies, from the President, and ought to be summarily dismissed forthright.
