The boycott was unnecessary. If they had not some of Mahama's ministers would not have been approved. We don't need a rubber stamp parliament. That is why we voted for you all. Mahama represents Ghana at all functions in and out of the country, directs his representatives to sign loans for the country. NPP should recognize him as the prez until the SC decides otherwise. The SC should also make their rulings without delay.

Indeed, in the most technical sense, until the outcome of the current proceedings dictate otherwise, Mahama has been sworn in and is therfore the President.
The NPP have always claimed to be a party with a preponderance of intellectuals in its leadership. By reference to their conduct over the years, I have often wondered whether they ascribe a different meaning to the word "intelectual" than the commonly accepted one as that of a person who makes a living by dint of their cerebral exertions.
I do not myself, see the inherent logic in entrusting a dispute to the court as the ultimate arbiter, and then simultaneously availing onself of the self-help measures of boycotts and non participation in parliamentary duties.
Unless the entire court proceedings have been rigged in favour of the NPP to their knowledge, it follows that no one knows the outcome until judgement is pronounced. So why are they behaving as though there can be only one outcome? What if, on the evidence, the court finds against the NPP and in favour of the EC and other parties to the action?
For as long as I have been aware of Ghanaian political history, from the Gold Coast era to the present, those of the Danquah/Busia persuasion (of whom the NPP are only the most recent manifestation) have never once accepted the results of a popular election, no matter who was adjudicating. Even when the colonial British government who favoured them and preferred the UP lot to the more radical CPP and Nkrumah, rigged the elections for them,they were still unwilling to accept the results when the people of Ghana chose a more compelling message to what they were proposing.
It was ever thus, as the saying goes and here we are, some 50 years on, having to listen to the whining of a bunch of people distinguished only by their sense of entitlement and claiming they have been robbed of their birthright.
The NPP need to go back to the drawing board and fashion a message that is inclusive enough and compelling enough to persuade the majority of the population to vote for them. I have no love for the NDC myself because of its origins with the murderous Rawlings, but time moves on and people must heal themselves or die. What we must not do is keep fighting the ridiculous old battles that have cost our country so dear.
If any one wants to know where we could have been as a nation unshackeled by internicine conflict and bloody-minded blood letting, just look at Singapore and Malaysia. They both slipped the colonial yoke around the same time as we did, Singapore with infinitely less resource endowment than we had to start with. Yet today they have become power houses of economic activity with great credibility in world affairs.

One of the most intellectual journalistic dishonesty and blunder, is this statement I just read in this biased article.
And I quote:
"...."intelectual" than the commonly accepted one as that of a person who makes a living by dint of their cerebral exertions."
The author of this article needs to jump into the red sea and cure himself of these leprous thoughts.
As I have said somewhere on this forum, yes, NPP is such!
And Jesus said,"You have said it". This was when Jesus was asked: "Are you the King of the Jews?".
Boycotts, are one of the political weapons to express one's opinion.
What weapon did M. Ghandi use to achieve independence for India?
And I quote him agaan:
"...if any one wants to know where we could have been as a nation unshackeled by internicine conflict and bloody-minded blood letting,"
".. just look at Singapore and Malaysia. They both slipped the colonial yoke around the same time as we did.."
".. Singapore with infinitely less resource endowment than we had to start with. Yet today they have become power houses of economic activity with great credibility in world affairs..."
This author seems not to know or understand the serious and fallible assertions that I quoted above and their implications. May be he was very young at the time of Ghana's Independence and during The CPP government.
What would be his response if I were to tell him that, if the leaders at that time (before and after independence) had listened to what the boycotts were about and the reasons for them, most of these faulty statements would not had been made,
and better still,
how would this author had known what Ghana would had been, if the UP, an offshoot of the current NPP, had led this country from independence;
And if Osagyefo Dr, kwame Nkrumah and his CPP, had not used all the wealth of Ghana in persuance of his vaulting ambition for The Presidency of United States Of Africa?
We should aim before we shoot and not the vice-versa.

If Nkrumah had succeeded in persuading the rest of the African leadership that the only sane thing to do at the time, was to pool together their collective sovereignties into put the whole continent in a better bargaining position with the marauding West, he would have deserved to be President of the entity that ensued.
As it turns out 50 years on,we are still thrashing about to find a formula for uniting the continent because any fool can tell that in the separate unviable units bequeathed to us (again by the marauding West, we are no match for any passing power with a desire on our resources. Now that the Chinese have joined the scramble for African resources, who knows what is going to happen Africa with its largely incompetent and venal leadership?
As I said, everybody wants to be President, starting from Danquah himself who couldn't even persuade a majority of the Akans to vote for him in free and fair elections and was prepared to tear the new nation apart just so he could be President of a putative Akyem Abuakwa state.
I was not born when all these shennanigans were going on, but I love my country and I have taken the trouble to find out what has gone before, with the objective tools that any half-intelligent person needs to deploy to make sens of an increasingly complex world.
The antics of these irresponsible leaders of the past and present, reduced a proud nation to exporting some of its best and brightest, who help to build other countries at our expense and the sooner this idipocy stopped the better, so we can all come home and really build the country up.

oh please npp, how stupid can you be , this is the reason why you will never smell power or lead Ghana again . first of all as long as your party has hijacked the ideas and desires of the other akans in favor of your greedy selfish ashanti clique you will never have the wisdom to do anything right. it is better to have pepeni instead of your sorry ass narrow minded idiocy who can only sell us all to know and unknow foreign powers . its good ndc stole the elections and for sure even the supreme court judges will not let you pass as your vision is the most toxic , you allowed the ashanti money made in the kalabule days of acheampong through kuffuor take over adu boahens fair concept of an all inclusive party and now you have lost all the intellectual power you come back only talking nonsense , go away and leave us alone . long live the Republic of Akan

Dr. Martin Luther King led the Civil Rights Movement and adopted Civil Disobedience, Non-violence and boycotts to thwart the effort of the much more powerful US government to scrap racism and segregation.This social injustice tarnished the image of powerful USA globally during that era. The governments of Africa are all saddled with corruption as enunciated by CHINUA ACHEBE,Nigerian Nobel Prize Winner for Literature, in his book, No Longer At Ease.If NPP can initiate an effort to cripple corruption and mismanagement in Ghana and make this wind of change spread all over Africa, then let it be.Africa is the least developed continent, far from economic take-off stage.Corruption, nepotism and blatant economic and political mismanagement have woefully been accepted everywhere on the continent,hence,growth retardation in all sectors of the African economy.How long are we going to remain in this cyclical mess?Enough is enough. Africans have been humiliated for far too long. The wind of change should start to blow over the continent.

Dear NPP please remain part of the NDC Govt. until Supreme Court comes out with your case. If you boycott anything, boycott your salaries and all you get from NDC Govt. Think twice

NPP is a Party of boycotts. Go back to history and you will find the trend.
The NPP parliamentarians must respect the presidency, until the Supreme Court decides Mahama lost the elections. He is our president until that point, after which he ceases to be our legally elected president.
The boycott was unnecessary. If they had not some of Mahama's ministers would not have been approved. We don't need a rubber stamp parliament. That is why we voted for you all. Mahama represents Ghana at all functions in and ...

they(npp) are fustrated, they are now caved with shame. more disgrace when the court would finish ruling.any arogant person will always be disgrace at last.
As a neutral person, i believe one does not get pay if you do not work. They should not pay them.Simple
Boycotts are part of decision- making. Although they are not in parliament during any of these objected sessions,know that they are still working.
Boycott is a political weapon which means:
We dis-agree. If you do not ...

The National Executive Council of nPP should also mandate its MPs to boycott their salaries, rent allowances and car loans because it is the same illegitimate Pres Mahama who has approved them all. Shameless people!

Until the supreme court says otherwise, John Mahama is a the president of Ghana. Democrats that we claim to be, why dont we accept this fact
Indeed, in the most technical sense, until the outcome of the current proceedings dictate otherwise, Mahama has been sworn in and is therfore the President.
The NPP have always claimed to be a party with a preponderance of ...

Are these idiots being paid? If yes, why? Why are they still boycotting when a case to find the truth is in court? our highest court? They must not be paid. They are keeping their constituencies behind.
In cost accounting, there is an 'Idle Time' and during such idle times, the workers must be paid.
The FLOATERS VOTES are more than actual party supporters in Ghana and they don't belong to any political parties. If floater change his/her mind, it will surely affect that party. Please, NPP MP's don't boycott anything in p ...

ALL THE CONSTITUENCIES INVOLVED ARE VERY HAPPY WITH THE BOYCOTTING AND THE NPP WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO.
