We would like to see the feasibility as I am sure there will be a lot of wrong assumptions. Perhaps another money making venture for politicians!

I can't believe this.We have no water,electricity,fuel,gas and many other basic things.Our road are bad and our hospitals are like grave yards.Government can't mobilise resources to revamp STC and TOR and yet the President is thinking about a new airline.Many large and world class airlines have collapsed and some have merged just to stay afloat.I think some people are pushing the President into this venture only for their self interest.We should watch it.

We are all lamenting the exodus of our youth to Libya through dangerous routes and subsequent deportations by Benin Republic .Don't you think that if the current government could stop the payments of various judgement debts created by NPP and being paid by NDC and harness our financial resources into the projects he has earmarked ,it would create jobs.The projects will not create jobs for only the educated but jobs for all. Both skilled and unskilled. Remember that in the post independence era the factories, schools ,National Airlines , National Shipping lines , National Construction corporations etc were all working well and providing good paying jobs for our parents until the Western world stepped in and corrupted our leaders who lacked patriotism and forsight to turn everything upside down .President Mahama's idea is a noble idea if the Governmet will instill discipline in our leaders at various level of the adminstrative pyramid and ensure proper and effective supervision. Governments fail when there is no patriotism,discipline ,Proper supervision and honesty. Our only true country is Ghana.Let's give our best to Ghana like Dr Kwame Nkrumah did

Ghanaian governments still don't get it right. The State should keep off from establishing such business entities, the state industries have never yielded consistent profits. In the end, tax-payers lose their money. Does President Mahama pays tax?
Running airline is a risky business. Many better managed carriers are finding it very tough these days., that is why more airline mergers are sprunning up.
It is not a shame for the country not having National carrier. Don' waste our money please.

While it's a good idea to have easy transportation around the country, I think it should be left for the private sector to do it.

Gov't should provide basic resources to help people thrive and not just survive.

There is not one thing about creating jobs in the economy, just talk of FEASABILITY on projects. Please note to bring improvements to the economy aswell as Ghanian job-growth, there is no need for building excess infrastructure, in which foreigners (Chinese) are coming to build. Alot of time was spent building these schools for this Better Ghana Agenda and not alot came of it. THIS GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS DO NOT HAVE A CLUE!!!

This is an opportunity to reap rents from the public treasury

One of the heirs to the legendary Gordon Tullock's theory of rent-seeking is Fred McChesney and he has always predictied this sort of behaviour by the Leviathan

Normally the Leviathan (the government) sells legislative favours to anyone willing to pay the price

However in some instances there are no takers at the regulatory auction so Leviatan himself shifts his position from broker to that of a player and descends into the market, creats rents and then he himself enjoys the rents so created

Mc Chesney calls this rent creation and htis is what is going on here

You may not have voted for Mahama but must you insult him? Is this how your parents raised some of you or even how you were taught by your teachers? Surely some of you can provide constructive criticism without coming across as small minded hiding behind a computer. If you feel like hurling insults, try standing in front of the castle or flag staff house and then when you see him give it a try. Come back and give us an update on the ass kicking that you got. Sad.

A joke says, the quickest way to become a milionair is to be a billionair and start an airline.
Please Prez. I like you, I think you are the best that ever happened to Ghana, but don't go there.
