There is credible information that Nana Addo has ordered cyanid capsules from Austria. His plan is to end it all when the court eventually throws out his frivolous and vexatious challenge. He now realises he should not have pushed things this far.

The Kenyan experience has taught him that you cannot toy with the courts this way. And knowing that he cannot survive for long in the Atiwa Forest to fight a Guerrilla Warfare, so instead of facing the gargantuan disgrace Nana has planned to commit suicide. NPP gurus should therefore watch out. A way out is for them to convince him to stick to marijuana to cope with the disgrace. They could start stockpiling high grade wee in Nana's house - after all there is little chance that the police will raid his residence!

A speedy trial is in the interest of even the thug Mahama. The Ec is a corrupt establishment and must be restructured after this case.

When Kwaku Baako informed us about the atrocities of Kwesi Pratt during PNDC Regime, some of us did not believe until the truth was confirmed during the NRC. Kwesi Pratt is the most dangerous Journalist Ghana had ever have, he had the gut to recommend his fellow journalists to be executed by PNDC. Pratt even recommended Baako to be killed by the regime, thank God Baako was instead touchered violently and severely but his life was spared. This is what Kwesi Pratt can do. Now Pratt is a secret agent to NDC and US Embassy in Ghana. May God forgive Pratt and spare him the untold evils that will come upon him and his generations. The souls of those journalist killed through Pratt's recommendations to PNDC will never forgive Pratt. Now Pratt has the guts to take Diplomatic Passport and smuggled his weak-headed children to work at the Ministries under Mills NDC, may God forgive Pratt and his dependance and spare them of the evils ahead of them...

If the SC is serious about resolving such disputes then it needs to make some amendments to the law. How do you swear in a president when the election is being disputed? Of course with no time limit any such proceeding could take forever and perhaps that is the current SC strategy to extend the case for the next 4 years so they don’t have to take the responsibility. Kenyans are smarter in the way they have their law written – they have a time limit of two weeks and before the president is sworn in. Florida has a population close to Ghana’s and was able to resolve the Gore/Bush dispute – recounting all votes, court cases, and Supreme Court decision in 5 weeks.

(SOURCE) JOY ONLINE:-----------------------

The National Democratic Congress has more than doubled Ghana’s debt in four years but it has very little or nothing to show for it, New Patriotic Party Member of Parliament for Obuasi, Kweku Kwarteng, has said.

According to him, after government increased Ghana’s debt from $8 billion dollars in 2009 to $17 billion in 2012; after enjoying oil proceeds, the first government in Ghana’s history, after enjoying windfalls in cocoa prices and gold prices the only evidence NDC has to show for these huge inflows are power cuts, water crisis, gas shortages and unemployment.

The Obuasi MP said his constituents have for over ten months not had water flow through their taps and there has not been any official explanation for it.

He said the whole country has been plunged into darkness with government sources and spokespersons providing contradictory dates as to when the power cuts will come to an end.

He made these assertions on MultiTV and Joy FM’s news analysis programme Newsfile on Saturday.

What is worse, Kweku Kwarteng added, the country is operating a huge budget deficit of $8.7 billion up from $6.6 billion in 2008 but with nothing to show for the expenditure.

He said whilst the citizenry are suffering, government and other state institutions are blowing the country’s money through unnecessary overspending.

According to him, the presidency alone over spent over GHC600 million without consulting Parliament.

Kweku Kwarteng also accused the government of completely running down the Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) with the view to privatising it and has failed to account for the TOR recovery levy which was imposed by the NPP to offset the TOR debt incurred as a result of subsidy on fuel prices.

Asante people, the CIA agents will never allow Ghana to know peace. In 2012, I sent a message to Ghana today radio. I made mention that, if Ghana will know peace Asante , Volta and Northern region should rule themselves. Because this group of people sold Kwame Nkrumah to CIA. These people do not like peace.They think, they know more than any body in Ghana. You assume that, the candidate of NPP is Dog, the Asante people will come out like dogs and vote for that dog.The same in the Volta.Asante people always think that,Ghana is for them only.When Mills was president, Asante people called fantes as Jokers.They forget that Egya Koo is not fante, Egya konimo is not fante, Akrobotu is not fante. All those who are making so called Ghanaian film are not fantes.When Busiah came to office, the first thing he did, is to devalued Ghana cedis for the first time in Ghana history.He gave all the money they are fighting to put in their pocket and Nkrumah was not allow them to all the Asante people.Asante devil man called Afrafa was the first man to put two fantes men in firing squad and put pistle in their ears. When J.J did the same to him Asantes people cries everyday.When Kufour came to office he allowed Afrafa to be reburied but not Ata and yeboah whom Asante devil Afrafa killed.Asante people are knowing in the history as betrayer, devil, selfish, and war like people. They are mostly responsible for the slave trade in Ghana. These people do not like peace.They kind that,they are better than anybody. If you do not know devil, please look at the character of Asante people. They destroyed Ghana,by selling Nkrumah to CIA and returned and started blaming people.Asante, Asante, Asante they believed and respects their king more than the president. They used to called him pepeni. The devil people.

We thank Nana Akufo-Addo, Dr. Bawumia and Jake Obetsebi-Lamptey for thier courage to file a writ that Supreme Court to challenge December 2012 election fraud. But typical of the NDC, they're trying to confuse Ghanaians by making funny statements. Asiedu Nketia says "NPP's case is already crumbling" because of what the Supreme Court has decided to do. What the NDC seems not understand is that we're dealing with numbers published or put out by the EC themselves. The Supreme Court says it want to determine among other whether voting twice or massaging of ballot figures took place and it did, affected the outcome.

Just note; in the Kenya elections, the Supreme Court allowed a re-count which didn't change the numbers/figures for neither side and that's why it ruled in favour of the the son of Jomo Kenyatta.

The NDC is simply joking! They think propaganda will help them in the case before the Supreme Court. Never! Unless maybe our Noble Justices don't really care. But we have full confidence in our Justices, that they'll do what is right. May God bless our Homeland Ghana. Amen!
