  The NPP administration in their eight (8) years in office never upgraded one single airport to the International status ...... but both the Tamale and Kumasi airports are being upgraded to the International status by the NDC government, adding up to the only existing Kotoka International Airport since time in memorial. Again, there is ongoing construction of new airport at Ho in the Volta region which will open up over 700 jobs for the youth.

  Majority of farmers in Ghana do not have alternate sources of income so what then would make farming slow down in a bad economy when prices of imports become expensive? Should prices of locally products not rather go up since most citizens could not afford high-priced imports? In the Nana Akufo-Addo logic farmers have chosen to stay at home and without alternate sources of income starve themselves and communities to death. Here are some facts Nana; cocoa producers may be disgruntled but cocoa prices have been falling on the global markets for years but held artificially high by government in Ghana, Ivory Coast and others to appease cocoa farmers. Government cannot sustain giving out subsidies. Ghana is not the USA where government can continue to buy extra corn, wheat barley and others such as milk and cheese to keep farmers happy. In Ghana what we cannot afford now or in the future is pay farmers not to produce crops; we don't want to create a welfare state of Ghanaians. Nana Akufo-Addo must not forget that as we pay farmers not to farm other professionals who struggle to make a living may also come to government with tin-cups in hand begging for subsidies; we have lawyers currently being leeches in Ghana sucking the blood out of our political and legal system anyway.

  Look ! all of us are worried of poorly performing agric sector. It is just due to our parliament that enacted an act for the decentralization of the agric directorates to oorly performing local governments. Note, I am an agric officer by profession. What is happening is that local districts, municipals and metros receive all subversions from national government and then decide what to do for reasons beyond explanations. Funds no longer go to MoFA directorate directly to buy fuel for cars or mottos for field work. Broken down equipment are just there; no money for repairs. My own district director of MoFA uses his own money for us to buy catridge to print official letters to offices. Sometime , we have to join hands together in order to buy A4 papers for printing official details, and many more of these are happening. So, how do we expect our agric sector to perform well? I also blame all agric directors for not raising complaints openly because of fear for being sacked. For how long can we continue with this system of things if our law-making politicians enact acts against scientific agric. It doesn't work so like how politicians win elections through 'takashie', lies, propaganda, etc. I will refer the publisher of this news to the fact that making parliamentary laws or acts cannot change scientific evidence. It takes so many parameters to get a scientific index. So, the journalists who published these online should rather blame parliament and the entire system of things.

  The NPP administration in their eight (8) years in office never completed one (1) single Power Generation Plant ..... but the NDC government has brought in new plants and expanded the already existing ones. These include, the Karpower plant, Ameri, TTP, Asogli, Kpone power plant and others. This is the reason why we no longer experience the problematic dumsor, today over 1000 households have electricity.

  For you all abusive sympathizes of either NDC or NPP flag bearer note our country is very polorized now. So insulting and propaganda will not give any of you a better future who ever wins. You all see politics as a football game. And I have a question for you all? How much money does each flag bearer brings into the national treasury other than seeking power to control the national purse to enrich themselves, family and friends.? Are you all happy with all the corruption? Bloated cost projects that enrich the politicians? Yes, more SHS and new Universities but where are the jobs for the youth who graduate from these institutions.? Rather that trumpeting government spending projects have you thought about individual citizens setting up enterprises to create jobs.?
  You all must cut out the crap of which flag bearer is a better leader as there are no magic solution to nation building and development. If there were such magic, we won't be in the mess we are in now. Mahama just admitted that Ghana's problems will take longer to fix. And I can assure you Nana Addo does not have a magic wand either. He will face the same problems. 4 years is too short a time to fix most national problems., not even 8 years. At best we need 25 years of focused solutions. And our dependency mindset on government as the main solver of our problems does not help .And worst, we are unwilling to pay the tariffs for electricity, water, and petrol. We don't produce the equipment and inputs that create these essential life supporting commodities locally. We must import them and have no control of their prices. All we can do is to save and export and import less which is not easy politically. Everyone wants something for free or cheap.
  So stop the insulting our leaders. Governance is not a game. And as for 2016 I have this for you all to think about: In 2012 the country was spilt in half 51/49. So result can go either way. And as the Akans say: "Mo susu bribi". That is engage your brains for the difficult task ahead!!

  Any government which depends too much loan for its developmental projects is useless. With the inception of Mahama as a President of Ghana ,the country has faced so many setbacks.The national debt has never been so high before, the utility bills are on ceiling, erratic power which has led to the folding up of many companies, corruption is at its zenith ,unemployment is high,incompetence personnel, expatriating state money into their foreign accounts,ostensibly living of NDC officials. If Ghana mistakenly vote NDC again into power Ghanaians will drink their own urine and eat their own shits.If NDC party has any good for Ghana it might have been shown in their almost 8 years in governance.Any father who leaves a huge debt for his child to resettle is a useless and reckless father.President Mahama has caused more harm than good to Ghana.Moreover he is using less costive materials for the projects he is establishing but at an exorbitant prices
