Ghana needs a vice President like Amissah Arthur. One who is modest and speaks the truth at all times. Bawumia has allowed the crooks in NPP to corrupt him.

Bawumia should tell us where in the world Quran and Bible rule together? Quran accept beheading and stoning to death as capital punishment while Bible oppose it. so how is he going to enforce those laws in to our constitution since he and AKUFO ADDO would be ruling with the Bibles and Quran if they win election? there is NO ways Quran and Bibles can rule together because there are few things that they oppose each other.
Islamic believers and Christian believers can rule together but never can they rule with Bibles and Quran. Bawumia is now suffering from inferiority complex! because he realized that he is not welcome to the NPP .many Christians in the world this days have bad image about Islam because of Islamic terrorist. and those terrorist are also suffering from inferiority complex thats why they misbehave and killing innocent people in the name of Quran. Ghana is secular state therefore we don't want Quran in the flagstaff house ! im very disappointed in bawumia! very stupid and childish even a child would not make this dangerous comments! which country or part of the world can bawumia show us that Islam and Christian religion rule together? it can be Christian and Muslim believers rule together but they never rule with Quran and Bibles! because Quran have many opposition against the Bibles thats why we have Islamic terrorist against Christianity teaching. isn't the same thing ISIS is saying about Christians? we don't want Islamic extremist in the flags staff house. akufo Addo must be ashamed for choosing this childish bawumia. AKUFO ADDO must change bawumia immediately! read what bawumia said Another major issue that I want to bring to the attention of the people is that; if we look at the flagstaff house today, it does not reflect the people of Ghana in terms of religion. “We are in this country living peacefully and nicely; Christians and Muslims. So we believe in the NPP that Christians and Muslims should work together and that is why whenever we pick a flagbearer as a Christian, we pick a Muslim as a vice. And when we come and pick a Muslim as a flagbearer, we will pick a Christian as a vice. "So if, Insha Allah, Nana Akufo-Addo becomes president, he will swear with the Bible and enter the Flagstaff and I will swear with the Quran and enter the flagstaff House,” he noted. Currently, Ghana’s President John Mahama and his vice, Kwesi Amissah-Arthur are both Christians.lagstaff house!

The NDC is in charge of our taxes and must be held accountable by the media, but the media can only focus on that if the NPP will behave themselves as a responsible opposition and allow the government of the day to discharge its duties. The NPP, through their fights and incessant confusion and rabble-rousing have become Ghana's biggest problem and that is why the media must focus on them.

THis Serial liar called Bawumia never Fails to amuse his gullibles.

Bawumia and his army of gullibles in the LMVC called for fresh voter´s Register which was vehemently opposed by discerning People of Ghana including NDC Party.

NDC has always stood for audicting/cleasing of the voter´s Register ever since the Serial liar,Bawumia came out with his controversial 10% forensic work in the volta Region.The region,he and NPP hate so much.As a consequence,the EC started cleaning the voter´s Register early this year which was surprisely opposed by NPP because they were shock to realise that the bolk of voter impropriety stems from Ashante Region.

It is therefore,a mark of hyper Desperation or intellectual dishonesty or both for Serial liar Bawumia to turn around and Claim victory in the face of supreme court ruling

For the avoidance of doubt, I leave you with the following Quote which amplifies Bawumia´s Frustration.

"
However, the former deputy governor of the Bank of Ghana believes the best way to go is to conduct the general elections with a fresh roll."

Bawumia must be ashamed of himself. The court ruling is totally different from his so-called Togolese-on-Ghana-register lie. The court says the EC must remove names of dead people and those who registered with NHIS cards; this is something the EC is already doing so Bawumia and his lying cohorts should give us a break. He welcomes this ruling, can't he see it rather exposes him as a liar and dishonest man? Why didn't he go to court with his non-existent evidence on the Togolese voters issue? What level of dishonesty!

Too much Trivialmindedness has engulfed with these so called Dankwa/Busia descendants who have never in their lives said the truth nor demonstrated maturity. They always portray silliness, low self esteemed and endemic mental slavery. What is so worrying is that they don’t mind destroying others because they want power. Attacking and distracting leaders without sound alternative is not only sickening but also portrays immaturity and emptiness of these cohorts. They just want to do or say something to grab unnecessary attention. They have no solution???. if you test their opinion by deep analysis, you always end up by cheap and shallow political biases and unfounded allegations.

They are so narrow minded that they will always dwell on shallow empty propaganda than to think of constructive alternative that will prove their ability as thinkers than “political hip pops” challenging and making empty utterances when silence would have earn them some respect.

It is very unfortunate to have calibre of people who displays nothing than greediness gluttony and cranking attitude towards each other. Even within their party they find it difficult to unite, how would they be able to unite the whole nation? NPP is a truly a joke they have nothing to offer. By their deeds you shall know them.

Ghanaians should not be blinded by these tax looters who only seek their interest by lobbying through their agents who are scattered throughout the country. Their sole interest is to make every regime ungovernable by castigating lies, ugly insults, throwing bombs, killing women, burning markets, lengthy shallow litigations in courts and false alarm blowers. What can they boast of themselves and what have they achieved for Ghana?
They want Ghanaians to be sub-servants to them whilst in their own thinking and mental deliberations; they perpetually remain slaves to neo colonialism.

Ghanaians are making efforts to put in place everything that will assure a free and fair election. It is only Ndc and Ec that sees otherwise.

How did John Mahama, Asiedu Nketia and the EC come to the conclusion that all the registered minors on the register will all be 18 years by 2016, so they should remain on the register for the 2016 elections?

Now the Electoral Commission and Charlotte Osei are in the spotlight. She and Kwadwo Afari-Gyan claimed the EC had no way of separating out voters who had registered using NHIS cards. Now the Supreme Court says there is way. Either they must use this way to clean the register, and clean it thoroughly .... or they must compile a fresh register, one which will have no names of anyone who tries to come and get on the register with an NHIS card.

That is what the Supreme Court said today. But they said they will not force you. Charlotte Osei, over to you. You can choose to hold a credible election. Or you can choose to hold a dirty election.

John Mahama must be impeached now!!

STUNNAD is calling on members of parliament as a matter of urgency to save Ghana from eminent collapse, by commencing the impeachment process of President John Dramani Mahama over what we tagged, 'gross misconduct.' When a naked man promises to offer shirt, then we must be careful. When the chief thief begins to cry that his subjects are stealing properties and monies, then the society is at the verge of collapsing. If President Mahama is now shouting of fighting corruption in his government, then Ghanaians should know that they (NDC) have 'finished the country'. Because the crying baby himself is the problem…..PRESIDENT MAHAMA IS MORE CORRUPT THAN ANY MEMBER OF HIS GOVERNMENT. We want to ask Mr. John Dramani, the youthful president, why the Office of Government Machinery (The office of the President), in 2012 spent in excess of GH¢600 million or ¢6 trillion above its approved budget? What did the office of the President spend this money on? We want to know why the Social Protection Programs (SPP) spent over GHC 700 million or ¢7 trillion? The nation needs answers why and how the Ministry of Youth and Sports last year spent over GH¢300 million above its budget. Is it also true that NADMO spent over GHC 300 million cedis just in the last quarter of 2012? Ghanaians are skeptical about President John Mahama's commitment to fight corruption. Indeed, two of the most controversial international transactions associated with this government, or any other government of the Republic for that matter, the $10 billion STX housing deal from Korea and the Embraer 190 Jet and the accompanying $17 million hangar from Brazil were both led by him in his capacity then as Vice President.
It has been alleged without any response from the NDC government, that functionaries of the NDC received at least US$ 1 million dollars in bribery payments from TAQA, the United Arab Emirates based majority shareholder of the Aboadze thermal plant. According to Peter Barker – Homek, the CEO of TAQA at the time “the authorization to triple its output was obtained by inflating the official price of the expansion works” and then paying part of the surplus to government officials. The late President Mills referred to the Armajaro cocoa smuggling case. As early as the second year of the Mills/Mahama administration, Vice-President John Dramani Mahama helped Armajaro to get back their suspended cocoa trading licence, even though the matter shocked the late President Mills and Ghana so much that it merited mention in a state of the nation address. The matter of British Foreign Office officials lobbying then Vice President John Mahama to drop the case raised serious questions in the UK. Yet Ghanaians have been denied an investigation of exactly what motivated the move against the collective interest of Ghanaians.
President John Dramani Mahama led the processes that committed Ghana to the purchase of the grossly bloated Embraer 190 Aircraft and hanger purchase. In 2008, the Armed Forces had negotiated to acquire a hangar at USD5m. Two years later, Vice President Mahama returns from Rio de Janeiro with a cost of USD 17m, a whopping difference of USD12m. We are told that an extra fuel tank on the Aircraft cost USD8m even as the staircase was said to be worth USD1m.
The NDC Government of President Mahama is yet to deny the categorical assertion by former Attorney-General Martin Amidu that President Mills agreed to an investigation of the then Vice President. We are told that under pressure, a three-man committee headed by Mr. Aboah never saw the light of day even though it had terms of reference drafted to investigate the inflated aircraft purchase.
In the same year 2010, Vice President Mahama secretly wrote to the Pierson Capital Group, prepared to commit Ghana to international loan exposures without the knowledge of President Mills. After vehemently denying the letter as a forgery and threatening an investigation by the CID, the Vice President's Office lamely admitted authorship but yet again without explanation about the then Vice President's motives. We are told for the months of October and November 2012 alone, that was two months to the elections, President John Mahama approved and oversaw the reckless dissipation of state funds to the tune of GHC 500 million (5 trillion old cedis). This amount was spent by President Mahama ostensibly on projects such as renovating his office, and for “special operation”. On “special operations” for example GH¢ 3 million (thirty billion old cedis) was released, and GH¢ 3,111,844.66 was paid as “allowances for staff of the Electoral Commission”. So we are not so surprise to watch Dr. Afari Gyan to state shamefully in Supreme Court that there is 'classical definition of over-voting'.
On October 1, 2012, the National Security Council Secretariat received a whopping GH¢ 4,452,450 on “goods and services”. Intriguingly, the request was made on the 1st of October 2012 and the same amount was released on the same day from Account number 2210106.
Similarly, on October, 12, 2012, GH¢ 100,000 (1 billion old cedis) was disbursed from Ghana's coffers for “payment of special allowances”. Fast forward to 21st November, 2012, another GH¢ 3, 000,000 (30 billion old cedis) was disbursed from account number 2111001 for again “special operations budget”. On the 29th of October, 2012 from account number 2210106, payment of GH¢ 1.5 million was made for “goods and services” but was diverted for the rehabilitation of the Mr. Mahama's office. Tactical Corruption!
There is a total failure of leadership, even as insecurity, unprecedented corruption, palpable impunity, massive unemployment and hunger has stalked the land. Corruption is all over the land: you can feel it, smell it, hear it, read it, watch it, and embrace it! President Mahama is a bad example to youth of the nation, he must be impeached.
According to the constitution of Ghana Article 69 talks about removal of president if he is found in accordance with the provision of this article (a) to have acted in willful violation of the oath of allegiance and the presidential oath set out in the Second Schedule to, or in willful violation of any other provision of, this Constitution; or (b) To have conducted himself in a manner- i. Which bring or likely to bring the high office of the president into disrepute ridicule or contempt ii. Prejudicial or inimical to the economy or the security of the state;
Here is the reason:
The scale and scope of stealing, looting, and fraud is riveting to the eyes. One can literally hear the screams of corruption in the banner headlines of the dailies. scandals relating to, SADA ASONGTABA, ISOFOTON, GYEEDA and SUBAH and the over a US$100 million oil revenue loss between 2011 and 2013 as reported by the Public Interest & Accountability Committee with total loss of Ghc5 billion under John Mahama government. This then is the MAHAMA record. Inappropriate use of funds and tender fraud, outright theft, gross extravagance and wastage, inappropriate expenditure etc, etc are sapping the economy and have created an artificial boom, as money that should have gone into infrastructure, maintenance, employment for the jobless, homes for the poor and numerous other fundamental structural elements are being used to buy state banks for family and friends.
The health services have collapsed completely, the country is not performing, the ship is sinking due to poor leadership. We urged all Ghanaians to drop petty sentiments “the hour has come for well wishers to save the ship of the nation from wreck under the leadership of the John Dramani Mahama." The country is broke because the NDC regime has emptied all the treasuries.

Saying some dead people still have their names on the register is not equivalent to saying "Togolese" have their names on our voter's register.

NPP just want to claim victory for themselves when in fact, they have none. When this same SC ruled against the NPP in the 2012 election, still for some weird reasons, NPP for almost 2 years kept singing that the court ruled in their favour. I've never come across such bunch of idiots in my whole live.

Instead of trying to score cheap political points with the rulings, the NPP must rather focus its energy and resources on unifying their factional and disjointed party. They are on their way to losing another election and they will blame the EC for not helping Akrunfo Addict to become president (his childhood ambition).

Bawumia is disappointed and not vindicated as he claims. What he needs is for the EC to adopt a new voters register. But his wish has been thrown away by the Supreme court. NPP is desperate for power and so they will adopt any action.

What ever the Court has instructed for the EC to do is already in motion and being done. NPP can't tell us what their plans are for Ghanaians and so they have resulted to wasting the time of Ghanaians on trivialities

The chameleon always wins : when a tree falls in front ,the chameleon calls slowness a virtue and when it falls behind him,he celebrates his fast walking ability.The last time I checked metamorphic Bawumia and his cohorts won't stop at anything but a fresh voters' register.while we have been waiting for the remaining ninety percent of the Togo register ,the EC's position of cleaning the register has never changed.How does Bawumia call this a victory ? Can we have peace in Ghana ? Enjoy your victory ; just don't come with any more lies.

What happened to the National Identification project?
BTW, working on the voter register will not guarantee victory for NPP; Bawumia must go up north to stay and shut up, he has outlived his welcome south.
