DIVERSIFY, is a good finger point.
It'll even create jobs within the various districts & will also curb the mass internal migrates of job-seekers to the metropolitan & urban regions whiles everything would be hand-reached within their rural areas.
Both the ruling & minority MPs must do their home-work very well to learn how to apply their development policy making very innovative which matches this era!!!
Why should we keep on travelling from east to west or from south to north whiles public services could be made easy & flexible at our door step?
But my adopted in-house guest-kid is whispering in my ears that: "That won't give these MPs the chance to chop money wawawaaa as they're used to".

If you want to discuss and make sensible contribution as Mr Kornu, can't you be more objective without bringing in Wayome? What do you make of the people who caused the abrogation of legitimate contracts? Have they ever been punished? Should we not look at the judicial system? Granted Wayome took so much what do you say of a group of people, three of them being given 3% stake in the oil discovered for all Ghanaians who were given a 10% stake. Be objective and stop all crap here if you have nothing to contribute. Ghanaians are wiser than you think. Note that the NPP could not win the recent elections using that very issue on campaign platforms. If you love Ghana, we should find out causes of our problems and offer concrete non-partisan solutions.

Because dishonest, a liar, a paramout thief in our country, Dramani Mahama
and his junior brother has deceived
and lied to the majority people of this nation and robbed the entire people in this country millions of dollars to buy for themselves two brand New Jet Aircrafts after buying 6
fleet of brand New Rolls Royce, why would he plan to build another
international Airport when the entire country cannot enjoy electricity, no
clean drinking water for ordinary
Ghanaian?
Look at our country today because of
Mahama and his NDC thievery activities
Mahama after the looting from the
entire money in the Contigency Fund
for fear that NDC were on the way
of loosing the election in case their
diabolical plans fail them to come into Government, issues would be very
difficult for Nana Akuffo Addo and
his credible NPP politicians to find
it difficult to bring in free SHS
education to Ghanaian people, today
they have to increase Petrol senselessly and without any form of
good reason when prices of crude oil
are very stable and have not been
increased.
It totally beats the magination of
every sensible person in our country
when there are still some few idiots
and monkeys still encouraging these
NDC crooks to continue robbing our
nation and they are happy to see it so.

That's a very huge baggage package for every development 3rd. world country & not only Ghana in this 21st. Century in a short & long term.
Was Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah allowed to accomplish his 7-years development plan by his oppositions?
Otherwise all these national priorties & necessities of our motherland's developments could have been realized long ago in his Foward Ever development plans, strategies & slogans.
Are they reading our comment of ideas we pour hear on this forum at all?
Then I will suggest that our waterways-namely: River Volta- is one of the cheapest way of conveying goods, services & passengers too in a short & long terms which Mr. Teddy Konu excluded in his speech; perhaps he forgot that one piece too.
In all, both are a heavy baggage package to this ruling government that other past presidents ignored:

I can see E.T. Mensah's hands in this cockamamie idea of building an international airport at Prampram. It doesn't make sense to invest so much of our meagre resources building an airport so close to KIA. I will definitely rule out Prampram because it is in an area likely to face the ravages of flooding in the near future from rising sea level.
I will rather invest in developing internal ports on the Volta Lake - Yapei, Yeji, Adawsu, Senchi and Sogakope, and then planning to link these with rails to convey passengers and produce.
This will help lower the unnecessary carnage on our roads and highway.

In a train compartment, there are 3 men and a young woman. The four passengers join in conversation, which very soon turns to the erotic. Then, the young woman proposes, "If each of you will give me $1.00, I will show you my legs." The men, charmed by this young college girl, all pull a buck out of their wallet. And then the girl pulls up her dress a bit to show her legs. Then she says, "If each of you gentlemen will give me $10.00, I'll show you my thighs,". And men being what they are, they all pull out a ten dollar bill. The girl pulls up her dress all the way to her legs in full. Conversation continues, and the men, a bit excited, have all taken off their coats. Then the young girl says, "If you will give me $100, I will show you where I was operated on for appendicitis." All three fork over the money. The girl then turned to the window and points outside at a building they're passing. "See there in the distance. That's the hospital where I had it done!

What on earth can somebody be so stupid, foolish and ignorant?. Do you thing Kotoka International Airport is enough for Ghana as the only international airport. Do you know some categories of planes can not land in our so-call international airport?. Where is the land for further expansion and up-grade?. Do you consider its location ideal for International Airport. Rotten brains like you should not be allowed to waist Ghanaians' time under any circumstances. You are a typical example of 'elements of no commercial value'. Be wise.

Thank you Mr Konu for speaking out for majority of Ghanaians. Government should revive the existing Railway lines that existed during the Kwame Nkrumah days.
And then if there are any funds left, they should consider extending the railway lines to other areas of Ghana.
A second international airport in Ghana will be premature.
By the way. who is advising President Mahama? I believe that in order for the President to be seen to be working, his advisers are writing all these unnecessary or unimportant policies for him to read out to the Nation.
First he was going to put up a huge statue of Kwame Nkrumah at the Nkrumah Circle. Now he is going to build a new International Airport at Prampram. How relevant are these projects under our present economic circumstances.
We need more Railway lines to facilitate easy movements of people, goods and services.
Let the Presidential Advisers think Twice before writing these silly ideas for the President to read out. They are making him a laughing stock and he appears to be a ''weak'' thinker.
Thank you Mr Konu.

m Wesentlichen die günstigsten Fall wäre, einen internationalen Flughafen in allen wichtigen ghanaischen Stadt haben, aber es kann leider nicht so sein.
Als Pilot, ich denke, die Lage eignet sich aufgrund genug Bewegungsfreiraum und reduzierten Belastung für internationale Reisende mussten sie erforderlich ist, um einen zusätzlichen Flug nach DGAA (Kotoka) aus Kumasi für example.Prampram nehmen auch viel weniger eingegriffen, wenn der Vergleich aktuelle Flughafen in Accra Metropole. Es würde eine recht erhebliche Engpässe an beiden Flughäfen und einen enormen Bedarf für die Pendler regionale Fluggesellschaften in der Lage sein hohes Volumen Verkehrsmittel zu etablieren und gleichzeitig sicheren Himmel.
Als Zwischenlösung, um mögliche lange Lösung, ist diese Option sehr tragfähige und hoffentlich wird es nicht aufhören mit größerer Verbesserungen der Infrastruktur für alle Ghana und dann kann man mehrere Flughäfen haben alle über das Loswerden des Regionalismus als gut.
Ich habe Hoffnung für Ghana und ganz Afrika und wünschen Ihnen alles Gute!
