Mahama's true legacy to Ghanaians will be - never recruit a misfit to a post. He/she can only give as much as his/her capabilities will allow. If the individual has grown up a truant, narcissist and in mediocrity...those are the attributes that will be translated.

Mahama will depart in 2017 but what he will truly leave behind to be cleaned up by Ghanaians (not the NPP) are truancy, greed, narcissism and worshiping mediocrity.

Great indeed,This next to nothing president did amuse me when I read that this gimmick hallucinating one million Facebook followers has made him a better leader gag me and puke.This is very hilarious and New York Times call this epic gag unbelievable because he is using fake follower to deceive Ghanaians that he has supporters and followers.Folks if you may recall during NDC idiots signing petition to free Montie trio in three days they claim to receive one million signature to free those criminals and to my shock if our useless president claim to have one million face book followers how many people comment on national issues and things affecting the country?This is just a joke and gag from president imbecile John Dramani Mahama.This guy can't be serious all with his deception nonsense.

The ministry of trade and industry says it is considering bids for the revived Komenda Sugar Factory, after four months of operations.

Government is seeking huge capital injection in return for equity, which could allow investors to manage the day-to-day operations of the factory.

Sources say the factory is on its knees and requires rapid capital injection to avoid liquidation.

Further investment would enhance the factory’s ability to capitalize on the broad opportunity in the sugar industry, officials have said.

Lack of raw materials and financial constraints forced the closure of the factory in the 1980s and reconstructed in August 2014 with $35 million concessional loan from the Indian government through the Export - Import Bank of India.

Government, at the time, announced it was securing an additional $24.5 million from the Indian government to construct irrigation dams and plantations as well as seed capital to out growers to plant sugarcanes.

But the reconstruct of the factory was heavily criticized by entrepreneurs and civil society groups, who strenuously questioned the operational viability of the factory.

President Mahama said during the inauguration the Komenda Factory was to save the nation millions of dollars used to import sugar into the country, and that revamping of the factory was part of government's agenda of transforming the country by producing the products that the country had comparative advantage in.

It was expected to employ at least 7,300 jobs directly and indirectly.

You're not just the worst President ever, but the most dangerous, wicked, criminal and evil person to hold that important position in the history of our nation.

So don't know what he has stolen? Our children's school allowances. DKM's money he shared with his wife Lodina. Woyome, Sada, school feeding grant for northern students and many more. You are a disgrace.

JDM remain focus to the campaign and the development of the country to recupture it's past eluded social and economic developmental prospects. These crops of nation detractors will continue to call you names,that is the stock they are made of........to push their ways to governance only to steal nation's lands monies to form dubious companies as vehicles of which they sold our Prides like the Ghana Airways,Ghana Telecom and the Drill Ship but these same people have the guts to insult noble president like you.Take heart and remain focus on the campaign and development of Ghana.#ichooseJM#Transforming Ghana

Ticle yourself and laugh, who cares. May be u are below 18years so you dont know what npp did in the 8 years.
Npp_ nhis, nyep, masloc, sch fedding, capitation, leap, teacher/nurses trainees were taken allowance, metro mass(kufour bus), voluntary service was functioning, infrastructural works on going etc.
Ndc _ infrastructural works, sada(many scandals), modernization of nyep(yea), nhis(collapsing), mahama buses(only on tired road or short distance), free shs(subsidised in a way for day students/ to be implemented) etc.
So, my brother, can match ndc with npp?
the difference is great unless u are oiled with sada money that u will defend the ndc.
Masa people are suffering under this government.
