THIS IS WHAT REALLY WORRIES ME. THE LEADERS OF THE NPP INSULT GHANAIANS TOO OFTEN AND TAKE US FOR FOOLS. THE LOGIC OF THEIR STATEMENT IS THAT MICE HAVE ASSEMBLED IN OUR MARKETS AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, WITHIN A COUPLE OF MONTHS THEY DECIDE TO HAVE THE MARKETS ON FIRE. THEY MAY HAVE HAD A PREVIOUS MEETING AT THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE NPP THAT THEY SHOULD GO AND CHEW CABLES AND ELECTRIC WIRES. THIS IS A SHAME. YOU SEE, OTHERS READ THE WEB AND STRAIGHT AWAY SEE THE SHALLOWNESS OF SOME OF OUR LEADERS. BY THE WAY WHY IS OBETSEBI LAMPTEY SO INTERESTED IN PRESS CONFERENCES.

Why not? Good deduction!

We have always had mice in the markets, is it not stunning that all of a sudden mice would come together in several markets to begin burning places.

Kai Abookyi If the Ghana Fire Service don't have experts to determine the course of all these fire outbreaks in our markets then what a useless fire department do we have,Walahi due to our poor maintainance culture and the way we have a lot of illegal wiring all over our markets stalls Kai Abookyi it's a recipe for these rodents to feed on because the wires are exposed and this can cause fire outbreaks.Can the Fire Service the Electricity company of Ghana and Ministry Of Health officials tell us if they do have yearly inspections at our market places and homes to see if their specifications are being met by their clients or consumers?Even if it is even done it is going to be a field day for bribery and corruption.

So you believe that lack of those inspections prompted the mice to go on those rampages only in the market places? Ghanaians, be wise.

Preventative maintenance as well as ensuring compliance to the relevant regulations and legislation MAY, YES (I agree with you) PREVENT the FIRES.
But for all of a sudden a rush of RODENTS (NPP MICE AS CLAIMED) visiting on these markets, is something I
find hard to swallow.
How does Obetsebi AND HIS CRONIES, know they were caused by MICE.
Would you believe if I were to say, the cause may have been some of his and his father's unexploded bombs planted?

How did the NPP know the fires have been caused by mice? What research have they carried out to come out with this position?
The mice in the markets are on rampage only after the NPP has lost elections.These people are liars who will present lies to seem like truth. Ghana must be careful with these people and take them for joke otherwise they will be taken by surprise.
The reason all these are happening is because they have lost the 2012 elections which they were cork-sure to win. Ghanaians are not fools and know good things from bad ones. They are bad political power since the days of Osagyeo Dr Nkrumah. They have proved to be bad losers in the history of Ghana.
There is no scientific basis for their claim and should stop wasting the time of Ghanaians.
Investors know the fires are caused by them. They will to Ghana if the conditions in the country are attractive and inviting. as they usually do.
We are tired of your negative attitudes, NPP.

Knowing decayed bombs, do not go up in "BANG', their signature is "WHOOSH" silently igniting anything in its path.
The culprits can be caught, by instituting what the President suggested, and also bring in legislation for conformance, such as an Electricity Act, to specify and regulate both domestic/commercial and Industrial wiring installations, like the 17th edition.

Once upon a time, there was a cat who died. When she got to heaven, God asked her how she liked being on earth. She told the Lord that it was awful -- she had to sleep in cold back alleys, where there was no food and life was hard. God told her that he was sorry it had had turned out that way -- but here, in heaven, she would be happy and He would give her the most comfortable, warm pink pillow to sleep on. The cat laid down upon the pink pillow and was happy.
A few days later, about a dozen mice that came to heaven together and God asked them how they had liked earth. The earth was no better for them than it was the cat. They explained to God that it was tough and exhausting and their feet were worn out from always running from cats and dogs and people. God felt bad for the mice and decided to give them roller skates.
One day God sees the cat again and asked her how she was liking heaven. She explained that it was absolutely wonderful. The pink pillow he gave her was the most comfortable place that she had ever slept on, but even better than the pillow were the meals on wheels.

NOW THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO KILL A MOUSE NOT A CAT IN HEAVEN.

They attempted to kill Nkrumah by throwing a bomb at him in September 1958. When Nkrumah was saved by his bodyguard, they told him that he would be eliminated by December 1958.Nkrumah did not cause their arrest; instead the security agents monitored their movements only to find that they were holding secret meetings with some foreigners in Accra. It was at this time that the PDA was passed by Parliament. Their movements were monitored and were arrested as terrorists and thrown into Nsawam Prison in compliance with the PDA just as America did with the terrorists by throwing them into Guantanamo Bay.
