"President Kufuor has every right to choose anyone he wants to lead his party. He has a right to choose whoever he wants to lead Ghana at this crucial moment.

Many of us also deserve to question the rationale behind his choices, especially if they are related to the pile of economic carnage and political chicanery that have landed us into our current atrophy and international ridicule

Where was President Kufuor's voice when defenceless and frail old men and women had to queue under the scorching sun to beg Nana&Bawumia's government to hands off their savings and miserable pension contributions? And yet they were given dreadful financial haircuts sending almost 900 of these senior citizens prematurely to their graves?

Where was Kufuor when millions of Ghanaians were given ugly financial haircuts solely due to reckless financial and economic management of the Economic Management Team? Did he sympathise with us? Where has he been when we had to deal with 54% inflation rate, still dealing with 40 plus pernicious taxes?

Has he said a word to ordinary businesses and individuals who are toiling to make ends meet ?

Where was he when nearly 1 million Ghanaians were discarded like unwanted flies into deeper poverty by the recklessness of his beloved economic team head and managerially impotent solid team?

Where was Kufuor when his own party of so-called property owning democrats Machiavellianly disenfranchised thousands of Ghanaians in SALL? Any comforting words.?

Where was Kufuor when many young men and women were thrown in jail for daring to question why the government has aided the poisoning of our rivers due to uncontrolled illegal mining?

My dear President Kufuor, can you help with the below?

How will you describe the two scenarios below?

2016. $1=4 cedis

1 bag of cement = 24 cedis

Ghana at IMF, but the government did no 'pickpocketing' of savings of Ghanaians and pensioners through the tortuous debt exchange programme.

Debt as of 2016= 120bn cedis

2024 Bawumia and Nana Addo

$1= 17 cedis (Oct)

1 bag of cement-105 cedis.

Ghana at IMF got there in stiches, plus over 40 painfully higher taxes, wicked financial haircuts -government literally pickpocketed savings of Ghanaians and pensionthe debt exchange programme. (Atutuobutom paaa ). Debt as of 2024 - a staggering 763bn cedis.

According to the World Bank, poverty rates are projected to rise until 2026, peaking at 31.5% in 2025 before slightly declining to 30.6%, with rates at the LMIC line potentially reaching 55.1% by 2026 due to limited growth in services and agriculture and rising prices outpacing income growth for the poorest.- Why?

Perhaps President Kufuor needs to be reminded that his successor president, Nana Addo and his "solid" economic management team headed by Bawumia junketed our economy, drove us into a mighty debt iceberg, literally pickpocketed savings of innocent and defenceless senior citizens against their will, gave the rest of us ugly financial haircuts and finally supervised the worst ecological homicide through illegal mining.

May be President Kufuor should encourage all to choose wisely and peacefully."

The Chief of Staff is very dishonest and dangerous. The company has already been cited for supplying substandard foods for our children to eat and get sick. Instead of taking action against it, we have a chief of staff who works for the company and works against the interest of the people of Ghana supporting the actions of the company. Answer the question: did the company supply expired foods? What action has the government taken against the company if indeed it supplied expired foods?

Mr Ablakwa did nothing wrong for calling for proper job done by the fda. Governance is not only about infrastructure but also administrative wise. The more reason i say that Dr Bawumia must be careful to talk about quality in education which is not by magic but a by a process of which beautifull classrooms and school uniforms alone do not make it complete but a good human resource base ,well taught to be assigned to deliver the good teaching devoid of AI which does not promote innovation.

I am surprise the FDA has kept quiet on this issue. Repacking of products perceived to be 'expired' is not new. Samples are taking to the appropriate governmental organization for testing. When the test result shows that the product is still wholesome, the FDA (or which ever agency) will then give approval for the product to be re-bagged (repackaged) and a new expiry date placed on the product. This new expiry date is determined by the the government agency (in this case the FDA). We can forgive people who are new to the industry and do not understand these things. The FDA owes us a duty to come out with an official explanation to put this matter to rest.

Come on !! FREMA!!! Yes!! Rumour- mongering has a place in our society. That’s part of our way of life. All we have to do is proper or Forensic investigation into everything. The problem with us in Ghana is that we take things personally as an attack on our integrity. Ghanaians are naturally Lazy , corrupt, untrustworthy ,greedy , incompetent, treasonous bunch of liars so every rumour must not be swept away by labelling it as propaganda. Unfortunately, propaganda is an art of Persuasion. This FREMA lady should not attempt to carry this behaviour to the Commonwealth Secretariat. Always have an Open curious and educated mind.

Hoe can a child be fed with bad food and develop at the same time? As a mother, you should have concerned yourself about wholesome food for the children first before any further comment or criticism. Su you are happy that Ghanaian children are fed with bad food. Why don't you use your advantage for. thorough investigation? Lawyer Oviri Boahin said that NPP members are not kind and you've prove that. Remember, whatsoever a man sow same shall he also reap. (3dah) retw3n wo).
