  Mahama that's all you know,where is ORAL? be careful for this is your legacy term and the legacy you'll leave will follow you forever. Be careful you don't go down as an indecisive president,who is good at speeches and zero at delivering or walking the talk. I am really getting very impatient,seeing the crooks who pillaged this country as if there was no tomorrow walking freely on our streets and talking nonsense. The ndc in particular should not sit aloof and allow Mahama to destroy the party's political capital because of unfulfilled promises and indecisiveness. I am only scared of the bad alternative we have in the conglomerate of thieves and nation wreckers party called the npp and their joker of a flag bearer called Bawumia the incompetent serial liar and his sankwass five.

  I believe this directive is in the right direction, but it should have been done by the minister for Education. Must almost everything be done by the President, what are the various relevant agencies and appointees doing. I believe when even allegations of criminality are made the relevant security agencies do have a duty to act on the information, and not have to wait for directives from the presidency before any actions are taken. I do believe there is hope for our nation as we all put our hands to the plough and contribute our quota. God bless our homeland Ghana and make us great and strong. Happy Independence Anniversary.

  Oh, has Mahama changed his mind? Didn't he say he would give money to the headmasters to go and buy the foodstuffs including cassava and corn dough from the market to cook for students? What has soon changed?

  Lol, reading through the messages and only you made the intelligent observation. It seems most people don't know what goes on in Ghana. The man said he will cancel Nana Addo buffer arrangement to give money to Headmasters to buy goat and things themselves on the market , why the turnaround? It's like all the policies they criticise, they are now using them

  As a rice farmer myself I think this will be a very good start for the local producers if only the buffer stock people will adhere to it.
  Ex President too promoted locally manufactured products to be used for the school feeding but the buffer stock and school authorities bought imported and bad quality products to feed the students.
  A proper monitoring system should be formed to ensure that the right things are done if not it will be a waste of time.
  The heart of the average Ghanaian is wicked, greedy and selfish and without an iron fist to monitor everything we plan will never work.

  Why should it take the President to issue this order on local rice consumption? What was the Education & Agric ministers doing? Reshuffle them.

  @Azar. Those heads of institutions and they're underlings are NOT stupid. They are CRIMINALLY RETARDED; their offices are only an avenue to steal the state blind so they can become funeral-donation heroes and village champions. That's all they're concerned about and they thrived under the 8 years of somebody whose name I shudder to pronounce. So there!

  Mahama is a con artist who played on the intelligence of the ordinary citizens . In fact, I will give credit to him when it comes to exposing his incompetence. He displayed this in his memoir, My first coup d'etat, which he categorically stated that, he is somebody who cannot make decisions by himself. On this note, he made unintelligent decisions that have made him not to have gone near the presidency. He stood on his campaign platform to cancel the buffer stock supply to schools, but would rather give money to the headmasters and mistresses to buy the pantry themselves. Indeed, he tried that for three months and rescinded his decision. Earlier, he had told the world that the food Nana Addo was feeding the children with was so poor that his dog would reject it. After trying his ''new'' method for few months, he reversed to Nana Addo's system. When the education minister was questioned why the turnaround, he said that the food was worse than ever. There are so many instances that Mahama goofed big time. It's about time Mahama apologized to Nana Addo for his poor performance, but later adopted his( Nana Addo's) decisions. Just to mention but few.

  There was a campaign promise by the NDC to allow heads of institutions to purchase food items.
  What has become of that promise?
  Heads of institutions voted massively for the NDC because of that promise and Buffer stock are still being directed to supply schools with locally produced rice?
