The truth is that you are all hypocrites and simply don't have the brains to govern. You have survived on populism and deceit and propaganda which is now biting hard.

The most annoying thing about this npp government of criminals and nation wreckers is that,when Rawlings was introducing VAT in 1996,this conglomerate of thieves called the npp stood firmly against it and organized demonstrations upon demonstrations against the Value Added Tax(VAT) . That's not surprising though because Osagyefou Dr. Kwame Nkrumah suffered the same fate from the forebears of the criminal organization called the npp,when he was constructing the Akosombo dam and the Tema motorway. Ghanaians have to read their history and be abreast with past events and the opposition too has given this clueless incompetent government a field day to operate.

Ghanaians are just too gullible. They don't want to be told the truth. They want people who will tell them lies and that is exactly what they've got. Things are not going to be easy for the next NDC government but when JDM told them to give some respite they started with their stupidities again. They want JDM to lie to them that he will solve all the problems instantly. He will not do that. And if he tells you the truth and you vote against him who cares? If after all that the nppigs have done to this country Ghanaians will still vote for them, then it is their own stupidity and their own cup of tea.

We shall not support any nonsense from this useless government . I blame Ghanaians who don't use their head to think including you . When they were campaigning that they will reduced and cancelled some taxes I asked where will they get the needed revenue to implement these numerous promises . Did you also thought of that? They claimed the money is sitting at bog . Nonsense

I am a great admirer of Dr. Adomako Kissi on Good Morning Ghana. One can see the use of his back ground Scientific knowledge in his medical profession during his
submissions with basic facts and realities. I have a little information for him. Please Dr. you cannot marry your elite Scientific knowledge with the Ghanain Politics. You will soon burn yourself. (Prof. Fringpong Boateng Refers.) This is only a small caution Dr.

It is not Covid19,it isn't the Ukraine war but rather bad economic policies that have destroyed the nation's economy. FREE SHS and free food for SHS students. Free allowances for trainee teachers and nurses.Where did the government expect to get money to finance these?Anyway it is Ghanaians who gave the government 8 years to ruin the economy.They have themselves to blame.

VOTE NPP OUT. PLAY BACK ALL THEIR PROMISES IN 2016. AKUFFO ADDO EVEN WENT ON DEMONSTRATION AGAINST INTRODUCTION OF VAT IN WHICH PEOPLE DIED. HE HAS NOT EVEN COMPLETED ONE SINGLE HOSPITAL IN 8 YEARS. MAHAMA IN 4 YEARS COMPLETED TERMINAL 3 AIRPORT, UNIVERSITY OF GHANA HOSPITAL, KEJETIA MARKET, ETC. HE ALSO CHANGED ALL POLYTECHNICS INTO UNIVERSITIES WITHIN HIS 4 YEARS RULE. THERE ARE SO MANY PROJECTS HE WOULD HAVE COMPLETED BY NOW IF HE RULED FOR 8 YEARS

Not that I don't aware...I just want to keep status quo and squeeze the weak and needed...it's pure wickedness knowing very well that the solution lies in the size of overlapping role govt. Once u cut the size the next is to cut unnecessary trips president and MPs makes by heart..then next cut actual pay of president, minsiters and MPs...times of need calls for desperate measures..their salaries and courtesies are out of place worb the finance of the country...they are now spending loans from imf and china to eat..until u face reality and change this list u only kicking the can to the long grass and u will run out of road soon

How do raise revenue to better the lot of Ghanaians whose 'lot' is already at its lowest ebb; weren't you the govt that said "we live in the midst of plenty but still hungry" to take away power from ndc govt, so what happened now; seems "we live in the midst of poverty and less and we are stomach full now"; shame on npp govt!
