    The fact is the NPP built no classroom blocks. we are still waiting for the golden Jubilee toilets. They couldn't even tell us how much the indian built flagstaff (jubilee) house would cost.

  • KOKI 9 years ago

    Yes it could absolutely be true. Not surprising though as the economic temperature has waxed so cold! The two are interwoven in an inverse proportional scenario.

  • John 9 years ago

    Could it also be that we have not fully understood & accepted multi-party democracy on this part of the planet?What can we do to reduce this temperature since it has the potential of killing democracy in the bud?

  • KOKI 9 years ago

    Political temperatures soar only during period of elections in economically stable countries. Even though it has taken most of these countries decades if not centuries to grasp the full import of multi-party democracy they ha ...

    whichever way way you look at it, the three Presidents after Rawlings namely kuffour, Mills and Mahama have one common trait,political tolerance and accommmodation. Other countries have not been so lucky.

    If there's high political temperature in Ghana then it can only come from one person's brain-bad, Akuffo Addo

  • STEVE 9 years ago

    The problem in my opinion, is the NPP. If the don't win an election, they do not allow the victorious party to manage affairs of the country in peace, and since 1951.
