...So, the people around the president including his wife and those Team “B” staffers were aware of the president failing health. Therefore, who were they kidding when they ruin insults on whoever questions the former president health?
As much as I hate to admit Rawlings was right with his statement. If they have had listen to those who were concern with the president health, he might be alive today...

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...

OFFICE OF THE ODIKRO
a companion of the black star!

The NPP and their spin doctors are clearly clutching at straws! What about President Mahama's vote being given to Akufo-Addo?

In explaining the kind of errors that could come up, the EC did not necessarily say that these did occur!

It would be up to the petitioners to point out where and when these errors, if any, occurred.

People with weak comprehension abilities must not impose their ignorance on the rest of us!

The NPP case gets weaker and weaker by the day! And nothing that these ridiculous spin doctors do can save them! Where were their agents when these errors were being made?

Forward Ever!

Sincerely,

Pur'gu Saarpe!

Once upon a time, there lived a man who had a terrible passion for baked beans. He loved them, but they always had an embarrassing and somewhat lively reaction on him. One day he met a girl and fell in love. When it was apparent that they would marry, he thought to himself 'She'll never go for me carrying on like that,' so he made the supreme sacrifice and gave up beans, and shortly after that they got married.
A few months later, on the way home from work, his car broke down and since they lived in the country, he called his wife and told her he would be late because he had to walk. On his way home, he passed a small cafe and the wonderful aroma of baked beans overwhelmed him. Since he still had several miles to walk he figured he could walk off any ill affects before he got home. So he went in and ordered, and before leaving had three extra large helpings of baked beans. All the way home he farted. He 'putted' down one hill and 'putt-putted' up the next. By the time he arrived home he felt reasonably safe.

His wife met him at the door and seemed somewhat excited. She exclaimed, 'Darling, I have the most wonderful surprise for you for dinner tonight!' She put a blindfold on him, and led him to his chair at the head of the table and made him promise not to peek. At this point he was beginning to feel another one coming on. Just as she was about to remove the blindfold, the telephone rang. She again made him promise not to peek until she returned, and she went to answer the phone.

While she was gone, he seized the opportunity. He shifted his weight to one leg and let go. It was not only loud, but *ripe* as a rotten egg.

He had a hard time breathing, so he felt for his napkin and fanned the air about him. He had just started to feel better, when another urge came on. He raised his leg and 'rrriiiipppp!' It sounded like a diesel engine revving, and smelled worse. To keep from gagging, he tried fanning his arms a while, hoping the smell would dissipate. Things had just about returned to normal when he felt another urge coming. He shifted his
weight to his other leg and let go. This was a real blue ribbon winner; the windows rattled, the dishes on the table shook and a minute later the flowers on the table were dead. While keeping an ear tuned in on the conversation in the hallway, and keeping his promise of staying blindfolded, he carried on like this for the next ten minutes, farting and fanning them each time with his napkin.

When he heard the 'phone farewells' (indicating the end of his loneliness and freedom) he neatly laid his napkin on his lap and folded his hands on top of it. Smiling contentedly, he was the picture of innocence when his wife walked in. Apologizing for taking so long, she asked if he had peeked at the dinner. After assuring her he had not, she removed the blindfold and yelled, 'Surprise!'

To his shock and horror, there were twelve dinner guests seated around the table for his surprise birthday party

If the trans-positional errors was against you to the effect that your money totaling about $5,000,000.00 was posted to another person's accounts, what would Nana Atto Dadzie do? Will he sit down there unconcerned and jubilate because it was mere trans-positional errors? How stupid can you be thinking mistakes like this are forgivable. How could ignorance be taken as an excuse? Men, you have woefully condemned yourself so shut up and sit down.

Your figure was even too enormous. You could have made it GHc50 and i bet he'll have turned the bank upside down. When it is established in an investigation that a bank made a trans-positional error by say paying your check into someone else' account, they quickly retrieve that money to its rightful owner. However, one may ask, why were all the so-called trans-positional errors in favor of just one candidate, why wasn't it the other way round? I wonder if these people think before talking.

ECG JUST MAKES LIFE TEDIOUS

Benjamin Franklin, one of America’s Founding Fathers is credited with the famous quotation “Nothing in this world can be said to be certain, except death and taxes”. Mr. Franklin was a very clever man – scientist, inventor, editor, politician and more, but he did not know of one of life’s main permanent features: the incompetence of our very own Electricity Company of Ghana. This is probably a little harsh so let us look at it another way. Given that ECG does not produce any electricity itself and does not know how, when and how much of the stuff it markets and distributes is produced, the company ought to be made the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Or perhaps a better way to look at it is that in ECG’s failures we are only feeling the sharp and bitter end of national incompetence. To put this in perspective, there are said to be 24 million Ghanaians, although no-one can be sure of this because the last census was bungled, but let us accept that there are 24 million of us. Out of this 24 million Ghanaians some are very clever indeed. We have produced great teachers, stylish coffin makers, mathematical geniuses, farmers and fishermen, scientists and technologists, great mechanics, medical doctors (other doctors in various shapes and guises), pastors, evangelists and prophets, lawyers (you can find them examining pink sheets on any normal day), even journalists and politicians. And yet, despite this abundance of talent and genius we cannot PLAN how and when electric power may be put off and on!

This is a national disgrace; there is no other way to put it. We accept that there is not enough electricity to share among all of us; in any case we are short of everything you can think of: water, clean air, fuel, healthcare, teachers and money, to name a few, so being short of electricity is only a further and better illustration of what we have in a basket of goods and services in chronic shortfall. We accept that this shortfall will affect us in one way or another. But can’t we be spared the spontaneous and unplanned nature of our suffering? Or is it really as unplanned and spontaneous as we allege?

This was a question I put to a chap at one of ECG’s Call Centres in the middle of the night last Sunday. You can argue on humanitarian grounds that it was probably not fair to confront the man at one hour past midnight, but I was left with no choice. The power had been taken, as they say in Nigeria, two nights out of three, and this was the third night in 96 hours that we had been deprived of electricity. This was strange even if the power outages were occurring randomly. The law of averages states that over a period of time the occurrence of the same event will even out. This means that it is most unlikely that the same area would suffer DUMSO three times in a row even if it was occurring unplanned. The conclusion therefore was that our area was being unfairly targeted for power outages.

As a socialist I can mentally agree with the choice of our area for such execution, if the idea is driven by revolutionary principles. I live in an area where a small but powerful minority of residents (I am not in that group) can boast a disproportionate consumption of electricity because they have more of everything; fridges, air conditioners, lawnmowers, deep freezers, electric toys for Junior, electric fences and windows and perhaps electric shavers and Jacuzzis. Ironically, these same people own the biggest generators God has placed at the disposal of the Third World, so when the power goes they race to put on their gen sets and sleep to the sweet sound of wealth. The point is that when power is taken from my area the reduction in the power consumption may be so noticeable that the people who take the decision do not have to worry about anywhere else. This was my theory when I called the Call Centre.

Before I go on, let us look at the idea of the call centre, especially as it relates to our ECG. I have taken the trouble to check the Wikipedia definition of “call centre” and this is what it says: “A call centre is a centralised office used for the purpose of receiving or transmitting a large volume of requests by telephone. An inbound call centre is operated by a company to administer incoming product support or information inquiries from consumers…” It appears to me that a company that has no information or product support has no business setting up a call centre. Those who want to experience ECG’s rich provision of information and product support can call their call centres on 0302611611.

Let us give credit where credit is due. ECG has trained its call centre staff very well in how to mention their names and greet you courteously when they are responding to your call. That is the only thing they can provide; from there things go downhill very quickly. They cannot tell when the power is coming back because that is down to Gridco or someone else. Can we find out when next we will be taken off? The answer is no; that is down to Gridco… Their strategy is to wear you out without providing a single shred of information useful or otherwise. The only important information I got from the gentleman at the other was that the call centre staff had recommended to the bosses the need for a free telephone line for customers but the bosses had so far not agreed to do this.

My conversation with the call centre supervisor told me a number of things. The first is that the electricity problem is probably much bigger than the ECG and the authorities are making it out to be; that it is a management and political problem disguised as a technical one; that there is neither rhyme nor reason in the whole operation and therefore complacency could be the default position, and that ECG is wasting our money by setting up useless call centres.

However, there are 24 million of us. Someone somewhere can surely do a better job than what we are being offered at the moment. In simple and plain language, no matter the difficulty with producing electricity it should not be beyond our collective ability to plan it the way it was done in the Kufour period when we knew almost precisely when our power would go off and come back on. This, as they say, is not rocket science; talking of which we even have a rocket scientist at NASA.

It is just that whoever is “managing” this situation is taking us for granted and making life unnecessarily tedious for all of us.

Who took the thinking cup of this man, Ato Dadzie away? Certainly with such political psychophant empty knukleheads parading within the corridors of powers, no wonder Ghana is disgustingly sank to such an embarrassing shameful state.

How does in his minutive guinea fowl brains assume that transpositional errors in the bank transactions makes diabolical election errors right? If he agrees election errors occurred why is he still wasting our time and being paid just to justify what the NPP has always insisted did happen and that there were preventable irregularities in the voting system which was dubiously organized and systematically rigged to make the wrong person the President?

If he agrees there were errors in the elections as there could be errors in bank transpositions what is his job at the Supreme Court?

Has he become a later day saint political scientologist already giving in to the NPP challenges?

Yaw, American elections have errors. We all remember Al Gore going to court. He did not make it all the way to the Supreme court though.

Errors should not be substantial enough to deprive anyone of the right to be President of Ghana. That is cheating/stealing in anybody's language. Ghana is split right through the middle.

The NPP are asking for justice and fair play. I would have thought you will agree with this, unless you are tunnel-visioned.

And, remember, also, "court court is much better than war war" - which awaits us in 2016 - because the NPP will not trust the courts again but will hit the streets. So Yaw, see you in the jungle warfare in 2016.

If really all the hot and emotional debate all these weeks come to trans-positional errors as the lead culprit for the 'litigation' then there is a huge deadly problem with Ghana's Electoral system! Yes banks would have transpositional errors but cannot be equated to that in National Election. That should not be used to downplay the seriousness of such naked lapse that obviously could be exploited by negative elements of contesting figures.

For now let the SC come up with their verdict. Let's hope everyone abides by it and peace and not chaos greets the nation. When we have emerged from this , the EC must get its acts together and be compelled within the mandate of electoral laws never to gloss over any blatant loopholes again!

on transpositional errors. Paragraph two of this article ends with, "He said it was a major challenge faced in the 2012 elections."

Dr. Afari-Gyan did not say this. Check the transcript! I believe he was speaking in general, about those types of errors, at that point in his "lecture."

If it is so why do you deny people from rectifying it. NPP is right and something must be done. Your imputs is rather damaging your case. Yes there is an error that is why NPP is working to rectify it. What is your problem?. You cannot leave you money to get lost if so happens in Bank. The bank has to pay for that so also NDC has to pay for that.

WHAT HAPPENED IN THE ELECTIONS IS CALLED RIGGING. RIGGING IS JUST A SILENT STEALING OR LATENT COLLATION OF NUBERS DURING AN ELECTION, AND AFARI GYAN WITH HIS BRONG BOTHERS LIKE ASIEDU NKESTIA AS WELL AS, BOATENG GYAN KNOW THAT. AS SUCH THE SUPREME COURT HAS NO REASON TO BUY WHAT ATO DADZIE IS SAYING. IF THERE WERE NO ANOMALIES INVOLVED IN THE LAST ELECTIONS, THERE WAS NO NEED FOR AFARI GYAN TO RETORT THAT 'THE NPP SHOULD GO TO COURT', FORGETTING THAT THERE WERE SECRET AGENTS FROM THE WESTERN WORLD WHO ACTUALLY MONITORED THE ELECTIONS TO THE END. THERE WERE SATELLITES ALL OVER MONITORING AND CAPTURING EVERY BIT OF NUMBERS THAT AFARI GYAN AND ASIEDU NKESTIA DOCTORED. EVEN NDC HAS TO DOCTOR A LETTER THAT WAS SENT TO THE SUPREME COURT BY TSATSU TSIKATA AND HE WAS HANDEDLY CAUGHT DISCHARGING IT. KWAKU KYERETWIE-KUMASI-KAJETIA

You rightly said it that when the bank commit a transpositional error they stay back to correct it even if it is late. So let all transpostional errors be correvred and not overlooked.

Ghana did not wait for four years to elect a president on errors, be it transpositional nor whatever. Every money was distributed to the electoral commission by the lnternational sponsor for every transparency in the election ,to maintain our democracy. Million of Cedis wer allocated for biometric machines, and so forth, so where comes these excuses of errors designed in administrative ,clerical and now transpositional. Hey, Afari Djan let our gods lay asleep ! Where is your competancy? Others could have dne better than your revelations now.

oh god have mercy on the inventer of the word PROPAGANDA.....
This is a man who has been a chief of staff in a government for over nineteen year endorsing TRANSPOSITIONAL error in the banking sector as a norm?......sorry i'm short of words,no wonder my coutry GHANA is not working,my brothers let put politic aside and let us all reason together and expose those charlatans calling themself lawyers/politians,irrespective of our political affiliation we should never endorse errors of any form,be it in our various homes,governments establishments,@ the banks,in our schools,in our churches etc.....
we should not even bring our children's up with errors, we should not even by error pretend to be who you not(impersonation)we may never be perfait,but we should always aim @ perfection,i mean we should always have A DO IT RIGHT AND PERFECT in everything to we do.

I wonder if these people even know what a transposition in numbers really is. It is a reversal of figures that the difference results in a number that is divisional by 9. It is simple to find out if it is a transposition, divide by 9, if the answer comes out in whole figures you have a transposition.

Somebody with this experience and about to retire allowed greedy to take the better part of him. He identified the lop holes in the system and tried to exploit them for his personal benefit. But he has forgotten he was toiling with innocent Ghanaian blood. He also took advantage of the peaceful nature of the larger Ghanaian population and one could see his posturing before and during the election. What I found so fickle about his presentation during his first appearance was his explanation on 10% extra ballots which I think a JHS student will not be convinced by such explanation. 10% of 25 ballots in a booklet will be 2.5 and round it up to 3 extra making 28 ballots in a booklet and the rest will not be difficult say 50 and 100 so there is something mischievous about such arrangement. I pray that the Justices can see through all these. At your age you allow Mr. Asiedu Nketiah and President Mahama to lure you into such a disgraceful act

Various errors can occur in the counting, transfer and compilation of election results but there are adequate checks to counter any error.
With the vigilance of party agents everywhere, any error that occurs can be pointed out and corrected at any stage.
It is surprising for there to be an error that would jeopardize the interest of the NPP candidate and the NPP polling agent would fail to point it out for correction.

Yes banks do make error of transposition. But the issue is why should only one candidate out of the lot benefit from all the error. Just think idiot.
