AUTHOR: YAW-----When one hears the likes of Anyidoho,Kofi Adams,Asiedu Nkatiah,Ofosu Kwakye, Twum Boafo, Solomon Nkansah, Bokor and the rest of these NDC small minds saying Nana Addo or for that matter NPP has no message,you wonder whether they understand or know what they're talking about or like Dr.Bawumia rightly pointed out,they don't read. How many of NPP'S policies and plans have they tried to steal only to fumble and made mess with due to their lack of knowhow. Why does this Anyidoho keep embarrassing himself with baseless utterances? Politics is a dirty game they say but for anybody to state that Nana Akufo Addo Danquah or NPP has no message is laughable and stupidity to the highest degree.

Say this to the marines, of the so called 35 how many have been prosecuted and jailed for wrong doing? Such people like you are the problem of this nation. All these numbers you've mentioned where are they? Who has been convicted in John Bombo Mahama 's government? Are you sick, are you getting crazy? I tell you after 2017 most ndc members will go mad. Just keep your fingers crossed for the real accountability after 2016, no stone will be left unturned. The next government is expected by all Ghanaians to jail all ndc fools whose business was to go into government to steal from the state. That day , you people will weep while Ghana rejoice, the people of Ghana will show you the exit thru' the main gate come this Nov.the wind of change is too huge for the ndc to stand. You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time. Ghanaians are discerning and they hate you thieves. NDC is one party which has done great disservice to this nation and it is about time they all get jailed with hard labour in our cocoa farms, for them to know you sweat before you earn. NDC hate Ghana and 4 more years will send Ghana to her grave, the people in that party are just criminals and wicked with no exception, they are Damn animals.

Under his care,the country has seen a huge transformation in all the sectors.In the area of HEALTH;Out-patient utilisation of the NHIS rose to 29.6 million in 2014 from 16.6 million in 2009 & 597,000 in 2005.This is the number of visits made to health facilities in the respective years on the account of the NHIS for only outpatient cases.This is positive because people now visit the hospitals often for their healthcare needs. It reflects the improved health-seeking behaviour & outcomes of Ghanaians.

I love it when the government, who is responsible for ECG, pretends to be on the same side as the citizenry by pointing a wagging finger at ECG and telling them their rates are too high.

There are issues with ECG and a good manager would take responsibility and not throw them under the bus.

The problem with some prepaid meters is that they go back retroactively at the new rate tier to reduce the balance of the account. For example, as a resident, once you hit 300 units for a month, the new rate jumps from 67Gp to 87Gp. The problem is that the meter takes out the money from your balance as though the first 300 units should have been charged at 87Gp.

On post paid, the number of days on a bill are not consistent. In February and April, ECG staff didn't come around to read the meter and gave a very, very low reading on my bill...about 2 days. (They made it up.) For March and May, they read the meter which means the usage for those months will be around 58 days ! So, if you look just at your bill without any analysis, the numbers look even scarier.

Name a single soul who had been arrested about the death of president Mills. Isn't it mind boggling for the body of Mills to be sent to the maternity ward and for what reason? Was he pregnant? People were calling for deep investigation to be conducted but the leadership of NDC is refusing and the question is why?

Our budget is supported by some donor nations and you are here talking about Ecowas Custom Union. Blacks get no sense of putting solid structures to support themselves unless the "the pink skin man" comes along.

Ecowas custom union; let's see how it is going to work.

Please, where were the PURC and the President some three months ago. Oh Ghana lets try in our own simple way to love and care for one another. Now some days to elections the PURC and ruling government have turn their back on the ECG because they feel Ghanaians have short memories. The government must be blame for everything after all they appointed the ECO of ECG and the BOARD. We are going for a chenge this 2016.

Mr. President, you are not only lying, you are deceiving us. Why should you continue to treat Ghanaians as though, we are morons and that, we will take anything you shove down our throats. You knew from day one, the increase in tariffs you and the Ndc planned to heap on us. At least, the TUC put up a low level resistance, complaining about the hit, the increase would have on their take home pay. You danced around the problem and like what has marked your administration, things fell in place to your advantage. You cannot run away from this one. Because, it is simply unbearable. It cannot be sustained.

The hypocrisy of Mahama beggars belief. Your govt introduces taxes on electricity and you come out to pretend that you never knew anything about it. This is crass incompetence!

If the President can show Ghanaians how much he personally paid out of pocket in an ECG Bill the people can trust his "I feel your pain rhetoric."It's bad enough if gov't cannot do a good job but for it to let these Indians and Chinese rip off the citizenry? Please help me to understand this one. Now that Ghana produces petroleum we should not be compelled to live in a "kawokudi" era.

Ghana needs a President who cares, Ghana needs Mahama. More great things will happen under Mahama. He deserves to rule for 4 more years. Lets vote for him on November 7th.

President Mahama is going to be retained by well-meaning Ghanaians come November 7,2016 polls to continue with the project he's started.

President JDM since assuming office strenghtened efforts towards positioning the country’s security agencies to adequately respond to contemporary security challenges. This has been done through the biggest retooling of the security agencies in recent Ghanaian history.

Look at this, is not president Mahama who said Ghanaians needs to pay more for power. What is he now talking about? Does he think, the reduction of the tariffs would let him win the election. He should ask formal president J.A.Kuffour, when he reduced petroleum prices what happened. President Mahama is going to lose this election, come 7th November 2016, whether he likes it or not. Fire burn you,president Mahama.

The overbilling needs to stop. The rate increase needs to be rescinded. The ECG needs to put more effort into collecting fees owed instead penalizing those who pay their bills. The amounts owed to the ECG that have gone uncollected for years are astronomical, and the ECG is to blame for that by its failure to go after these unpaid bills. A stronger collection effort is needed, not a rate increase. Even I a rate increase is warranted, that increase should be reasonable.

Whom are you kidding John Mahama? You think Ghanaians are fools? You instigated this over billing process in the first place and you are saying you sympathise with Ghanaians .What can of hypocracy is that. Let me tell something, you will definitely be out of the door come November ,rain or shine.In fact in the years gone by when Military coups were the other of the day, you and your government would have been ousted long time ago.And only God knows what will have happened to you and those greedy ministers of yours. I implore all loving Ghanaians to rise up, come November and vote massively against you and your Ndc party. God bless all Ghanaians

Have you forgotten his words so soon?
"Be ready to pay more if you want reliable power".
The NDC people are so ignorant.
