Ayigbe JJ is the worst thing that has happened to Ghana and we know for a fact that historians who are not under the influence of his brainwash propaganda or children of the future will very rightly confirm so . i am hoping God will keep him alive so we can prosecute him in court or at the Hague , As long as he has any influence in Ghana's politics the country can never prosper , its as if Russia still had Stalin or Germany Hitler , people who have committed crimes against humanity are often the very same who promote a perverted propaganda machinery like we see today in Ghana . Criminals like PV are being celebrated but don't realize this man helped set up a dictation that cased the suffering of millions and the exodus of the finest brains of the land ,persecution of the Akans . This is the govt that sets impostors and fakes to rule the majority . We have the Ahvois and Hannah Tetteh who are not Fantis masquerading as such , PV for years made it appear he was Ashanti especially through the Kotoko fb club but he was Guan , many Ewes disguise themselves as Akans so they can coining their phrase ' penetrate and infiltrate' Akan lands . The legacy of JJ is hate everything Akan and deny them real self rule . JJ in any country or normal democracy would be considered a non desirable criminal except cult personality criminally minded north Korea and Qaddafi's Libya . Any nation that allowed minorities to rule and control like Hitler the Austrian ,or Stalin the Georgian have always suffered tragedies that take decades to recover from . we are tired of the reckless willfulness of these leaders from minority tribal groups who only come with corruption in their hearts and hatred of the values and potential of the majority . this mafia political oligarchy that has a stranglehold on our people needs to be removed by force and if it takes a war to do it so be it

I would have liked to have a real debate about how each of our political parties intend to offer solutions to really transform our socio-economic
landscape, for example, how to end the debilitating urban bias, how to initiate a massive rural electrification programme using renewable energy, how to start Ghanaian owned cottage industries in our villages and small towns to avoid creating more garbage in our ever growing cities, how to ensure food security, and how to invigorate our micro and macroeconomic sectors to bolster our sliding cedis. Sarpong, I would love to hear what all the parties have to say about the above and more.

Mahama even sent them a message four days before the summit at Senchi when his tarantism to Daddy Lumbas "YENTIE OBIAA" song serenaded him through the principal streets of Kumasi as an innuendo message to Npp .

I was equally disappointed by the so called Senchie declaration which I prefer to call a wishlist. The question is, do we have to assemble 140 people to tell us what anybody who is above 18 years should know.People are saying we should stop borrowing. In my view borrowing per se is not a bad option. However the question is what you use the borrowed funds to do. The fact that you have borrowed to build a factory, a bridge or a school in itself does not mean that it will result in economic transformation. The important thing is to make sure that The school, road, clinic or what ever you borrow to do is done at the most cost effective manner, on time and at the right quality specification. It is when these principles are adhered to that you are sure to obtain the best returns that would enable you to make more money to service the interest on the loan and even pay the loan off. However if you borrow for a project and the project is haphazardly delivered long after the agreed delivery date with no regard to quality standards or financial propriety you can never get the returns to pay back the interest or the capital when the banks knocks at your door for payment. This is exactly what is happening to us as a country. We have borrowed so much but have woefully, criminally and fraudulently ed to ensure the judicious use of the loans hence our inability to generate enough to pay the interest.The fact that you have borrowed money does not mean it is free money that could be wasted through corruption and fraud. Yes you can do that but then don't be surprised when you are unable to generate enough to repay the interests when they fall due.If the monies that we have borrowed since the last 5 years had been used in a well thought out projects,and have ensured that every dollar has been expended judiciously, have ensured that each of the projects are delivered on time and within the quality specification there would never have been a situation where we would be unable to pay for the interest. What we always forget is that borrowed money is no free money .

Thanks a million times for your in depth explanation on the borrowing issue. The problem Ghana is that, we borrow for consumption and not for infrastructure development but even when we do, due to corruption and stupidity, we sign bad contracts.
The China 3 billion dollars loan is typical of what I am talking about. You sign a contract that binds you to allow China to do 60 percent of the contract, e.g.Workers and supply of materials.
You pay off tbis debt by giving China 13,000 barrels of oil a day for 15 years. That is 6.5 billion dollars pay off excluding interest of about $500 million for the 15 years.
You borrow 3 billion and return 1.8 billion right back to China in the 60 percent stupidity clause. Tbis is a contract only people retarded or lobotomized will sign.

Sarpong,this is my personal opinion if you don't mine,could you tell me how many workers president Kufour paid during his administration while paying subsidize on fuels and without oil money and at the same time the world econmy has melt down and in resection.Gold and cocoa were selling at lowest price in the history of world.Sarpong if you have forgotten so soon,remember Kufour extablish various agencies result in creating more jobs under government pay roll just to mension a few NYEP,NHIP,Cocoa straying,school feeding,maternity care etc.President Mahama has done away with subsidy,maternity care,school feeding,cocoa spraying etc and also enjoying oil money and has borrow more money without any thing to show for.Sarpong what you fail to provide was statistics between workers both presidents Kufour and Mahama were paying.Sarpong we all know what Mahama government is all about,paying judgement debts,inflate of cost of projects and looting.Sarpong without providing statistics to prove your point on 700,000 workers out of the population of 25 million people come on give me a break.Sarpong can 350,000 workers serve the country,the Military,Navy,Police,Fire service,Teachers,Lawyers and Judges,Doctors,Nurses,state banks,Electricity and Water Ministries,peace keepers and minucipal employee.Are you kidding Mr Sarpong.

You raised very pertinent and intelligent questions and I might not be able to answer all of them but let me start from your last one.
Can 350,000 workers service 25 million people? Definitely. In Ghana we have one worker servicing 30 people. In USA, we have one government worker servicing 300 people so in USA, they would have needed onlh 70,000 servicing 25 million instead of 700,000 workers.
Has the government workforce increase that much from Kuffour to Mahama? Not that much if any at all so why are we spending too much money now than Muffour's time and getting less service?
We were using only 30 percent of government revenue to pay government workers, 1.9 billion dollars but we are now using about 4.3 billion dollars and close to 70 of government revenue due to the bad implementation of the SSSS policy that doubled and in some instances tripled workers wages but has not improved their finances because government has taken the increase back with high cost of electricity, water,food, etc.
Hazor, Kuffour was able to do a lot because he and hid administration were prudent and innovative unlike this clueless administration.
The government has increased the workers wages astronomically and it cannot take it back or lay off workers tp become unemployed that is why it has to privatize some agencies allow the mission schools to be ran by the Churches and others to reduce government expenses.

Whatever,
Do you honestly believe that there is decentralisation in Ghana? It is only in name, my friend. What concrete decisions do DCEs make in their own backyard? Yilch. Why does central government have to repair feeder roads, build markets, even toilets, as the people of Adjena in the Volta Region are demanding?
If we had a truly effective local government system, would "galamsey" have devastated so much of the countryside of Ghana? Why is Accra swimming in filth? AMA probably has 1000 employees working on "waste management." Make no mistake, I have served on their technical committees before so I know what happens there.
Sarpong is absolutely right. If Mahama's little and incompetent Jubilee House alone has over 700 employees, what exactly do they do there?
My sister has just retired from the health service at Dunkwa-on-Offin, deep in the Western Region and has been making trips to Accra for the past nine months, trying to claim back her own SSNIT contribution without much success. Meanwhile, my friend retired in his little village in Bedfordshire and within six short weeks, he is receiving his monthly pension. That is decentralisation, that is what Sarpong is talking about.
I am almost certain that 25% of the people listed as "government employees" are ghost names. Any government that cannot sort that out in the 21st century is not worth calling it a government, and you certainly do not require 140 people at a plush hotel to do that. It is a very simple Microsoft Excel solution!

You don't know anything because all you know is government employing people. Government can ease its wage bill burden by privatizing some businesses without retrenching workers.
