It's chin-chinga journalism !

The green blockheaded chin-chinga seller-turned-newspaper owner,Alhaji Bature, is unaware that the over GHc8 billion that the NDC stole from our treasury and shared it among themselves resulting in the 12% deficit is the result of the fiscal indiscipline that the nation is now facing.

Can the monstrously sybaritic glutton and a dastardly, armpit-licking cause of nightmares in small children,Alhaji Bature, tell discerning Ghanaians how much of the GHc8 billion was given to Nana Akuffo Addo, or any of the NPP members ?

Has that pitiful pimplebrained Alhaji Bature, suddenly forgotten that the NDC went to court to dispute the 2004 elections, but the NPP never accused the NDC of scaring away foreign investors, or making the country ungovernable ?

If the economy is broke fix it. Being able to handle difficult economic situations like this, makes a government and for that matter a President the kind of stuff he is made of. After all governments are not voted into power to have a field's day but to solve problems. I urge President Mahama and his team of economic experts to deal with the seemingly precarious economic situation which the paper is trying to portray. But I thought Paa Kwesi's partnership with Mahama was purposely to deal a decisive blow to all the economic woes that is bedeviling the country. At least that was what NDC made us to believe. Paa the ball is now in your court. Do something otherwise posterity shall never forgive you.

This is complete nonsense. If the opposition is so powerful to cause the kind of economic mess the paper has painted here then they are good enough and better able to manage the economy.
The NDC should then handover power to them and leave the scene, if a government in power have no antidote to so called sabotage measures by an opposition party.
This a garbagy and irritating news.

Ashanti/Akyem tribal NPP will never win election in Kwame Nkrumah's Ghana again, they assume everything good in Ghana must be for them because they have the best primitive culture.

They kill people when that their chief in Kumasi dies.
They are the most ugly people in Ghana.
They are the most shortest people in Ghana because they are not more than 4ft.

They are the most charcoal black in the whole world.
They are the supper power of Insults in the whole wide world.

Most of their children grow up without their fathers so, they had no proper training so insults are something they learn from infancy.

If people expose them they say they are Akans when theres anything good they know nobody except if you are called Osie or Bonsu.
The Ashantis/Akyem's ar inward looking tribal people more any human being that ever lived on this planet but, will be quick to call some tribes as tribal.
YOu all saw what happened when Kufour became the president. He gave everything good to his tribesmen and even tried to turn everything National to resemble Ashantis the primitives.
Take a look at the Flag Staff House the wanted to even call it the golden stool but clandestinely said it's called golden jubilee.
If they insult you don't be worried at all.

Upon all the civilization the assume the have they still eat shit!!!

Biggest nonesense, NPP has been more nationalistic than any party, check the records. Anybody from any part of the country can contest and win elections in Ashanti and Akyem lands but not in Volta and the North

If one challenging election fraud is deemed as destroying the economy, then that rule in constitution of Ghan, for election challenge should be scraped out from the constitution.

There is a saying that "if you are not capable of carrying your load you blame it on the head pad", NDC is wobbling in the governance of the country due to ineffective leadership and misplaced priorities. Now they are putting the blame on the election irregularities case pending before the courts of the land. John Mahama was not groomed well enough to lead this great country, and the nation's spirit has overwhelmed him such that he does not see where to place the calabash. NDC should give us a break and reap the the fruit of unbridled false propaganda and electoral malpractices they sowed. You don't expect to reap apple whiles you sowed pepper. Please keep quiet and lick the wounds which you yourselves have inflicted upon the nation.

BLAME THE THIEVES AND NOT THEIR VICTIM. TO STEAL THE PEOPLE'S MANDATE THEY MISUSED THE RESOURCES OF THE NATION TO BUY VOTES. THEY SPENT LIKE MAD MEN, BUYING EXPENSIVE CARS FOR ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE AND DISHING OUT HUGE SUMS OF STATE FUNDS TO TO BUY ELECTORAL OFFICIALS.THEN THEY SPEND BILLIONS REARING ABSENTEE GUINEA FOWLS AND PLANTING INVISIBLE TREES. BEFORE THEN, THEY SUPERVISED THE LOOTING OF THE NATION'S COFFERS BY THE LIKES OF WOYOME, CONSTRUCTION PIONEERS AND OTHER DUBIOUS JUDGEMENT DEBT CONTRACTORS AND BENEFICIARIES. AND NOW THEY ARE BLAMING NANA ADDO FOR THE FINANCIAL WOES OF THE COUNTRY ? WHEN A THIEF IS CAUGHT, HE IS NOT ALLOWED TO TO KEEP WHAT HE STOLE. HIS LOOT IS RETRIEVED FROM HIM AND GIVEN BACK TO ITS RIGHTFUL OWNER. DON'T BLAME NANA WHEN YOU ALLOW WOYOME, CP AND OTHERS TO KEEP WHAT THEY LOOTED FROM THE STATE. DON'T BLAME NANA AFTER YOU HAVE EATEN ALL THE MEAT AND SWALLOWED THE BONE ON TOP. DON'T BLAME NANA FOR FIGHTING TO RETRIEVE WHAT WAS STOLEN FROM HIM. HIS "ALL DIE BE DIE" SLOGAN MEANT HE WOULD NOT SIT DOWN TO BE CHEATED ALL THE TIME. THAT IS WHY HE IS AT THE SUPREME COURT. WOULD YOU HAVE BEEN HAPPIER IF HE AND HIS SUPPORTERS HAD TAKEN UP ARMS AND WAGED WAR ? BLAME THE THIEVES. IT IS THEY WHO HAVE PUSHED GHANA TO THE EDGE OF THE FISCAL CLIFF.

When an NDC rented paper discovers that the government isn't doing so well as they've been trumpeting, they somehow, all be it cleverly, cooks up some stupid reason to justify the incompetency and abject hopelessness of the government. And in most cases, as has been the signature of Al Hajj, blame the opposition, mainly, the NPP for it.
Ghanaians are more intelligent than that and can read between the lines, so to speak.
if you have ministers who before becoming DCE's and ministers could not even hold down cleaning jobs in the UK, you surely know the probable outcome when setting out on such crony instigated adventures.

There's no excuse for ineptitude. There's again no excuse for incompetence. This gov't of the Mills-Mahama-Amissah Arthur administration is the most unintelligent team ever to assume the reins of governance and the country is suffering severely for such an anomaly. When the likes of Fiifi kwetey could be a deputy minister of finance, which is normally left for technical persons, the economy would suffer. It's not surprising that Bature is spewing such nonsense. Bature has never in any case uttered any sense whatsoever, and his forage into the realm of finance has exposed him big time. Once again let it be known to the dimwitted NDC thieves and their apologists that, propaganda does not build a nation. Outright deceit and lies don't build a nation. And damn falsehood most surely, collapses a country.

As far back as last year, Dr Bawumia predicted this but instead of the government listening to doing some thing about it. it rather sent it rabid dogs to the media houses to insult Dr Bawumia. today we have a toilet roll of a news paper blaming the very people who warned the government of its unbridled expenditure especially in the election year

The government budget for Year 2013 according to this writer begins with GHC 30B in expenditures and GHC 22B in revenues. The government is already in the hole for GHC 8B. This smacks of incompetency from the start. Government can't eat her cake and have it at the same time. The frivilous and unnecessary government expenditures must be eliminated to balance the budget and to carry out things that will meet the needs of the people. You can't blame the woes of inefficiency on any person. Careful and astute planning is what is required to successfully run a government. President Mahama and his team must girt on their loins to work instead of blaming others.

Mahama needs to take alot of blame too.
1. If there was no money, where did he get vast amounts of money to pay the Parliamentarians the questionable ex gratia?
2. Why did he sit back and let SADA pay Agembire & Co. 45 million cedis for non existent trees and a few "Akonfem" and fewer still Akonfem eggs?
3. Why buy and continue to buy all those electronic tablets or are they laptops (I doubt it) from Agembire & Co. for no good reason?
I can go on, but these 3 exemples are enough. To put it bluntly, Mahama has cuase most of his problems and he must realize that, he is being cut alot of slack in public because he is a Northerner, and there is not doubt about it. So, Mahama, though I hate the underhand tactics of the NPP, I want to point out that, you are not helping yourself.

WAS HE NOT IN GHANA WHEN MAHAMA WAS TELLING GHANAIANS THAT WE HAVE A SINGLE DIGIT INFLATION (9%) AND THE ECONOMY WAS DOING GOOD? WHERE DID OUR MONEY GO AFTER THE ELECTIONS? IS THE MONEY IN AKUFO ADDO'S ACCOUNTS? WAS THIS MAN NOT IN GHANA WHEN THE MPS RAISED THE SALARIES OF THE PRESIDENT, VICE PRESIDENT, MINISTERS AND MPS? WAS HE NOT IN GHANA WHEN THE E C WAS CREATING MORE CONTITUENCIES?? WAS HE NOT IN GHANA WHEN NDC HAD WANTED TO REGISTER MORE SUPPORTERS IN THE ONGOING SUPREME COURT CASE JUST TO DELAY PROCEEDINGS? WAS HE NOT IN GHANA WHEN OUR POLITICIANS WERE STEALING OUR MONEY LIKE NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE? WAS HE NOT IN GHANA WHEN THE PRESIDENT ANNOUNCED THAT "THE MEAT IS FINISHEDTO THE BONE" IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE ELECTIONS? COULD NANA ADDO INSTRUCT THE GOVERNMENT AND SOME GHANAIANS TO COMMIT ALL THESE CRIMES AGAINST GHANA? WHY SHOULD THIS MAN TURN AROUND AND BLAME NANA AKUFO ADDO AS THE CAUSER OF ALL OUR CALAMITIES WHILES HE KNOWS THE CAUSES OF THE CALAMITIES WE NOW FIND OURSELVES IN? HAS AKUFFO ADDO THE POWERS TO DO ALL THAT HE HE IS CLAIMING? IF YES, THEN HE SHOULD BELIEVE THAT AKUFO ADDO IS THE STRONGEST MAN TO LEAD GHANA AT THIS TIME. WE SHOULD STOP THESE POLITICALLY INCLINED THESES AND FACE FACTS. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY GHANA CAN MOVE FOWARD. STOP THE EMPTY PRAISES FOR POSITIONS AND FACE FACTS.
