LOOK AROUND AND YOU CAN EASILY FEEL, SMELL AND SEE IT. THIS IS NOT THE GHANA KUFFOUR HANDED OVER TO THESE NDC CORRUPT BASTARDS, AS THEY ARE AFFECTIONATELY KNOWN BY THEIR EQUALLY CORRUPT FOUNDER. KUFFOUR IS INDUBITABLY THE BEST PRESIDENT EVER IN OUR HISTORY!!!!-----FELLOW COUNTRYMEN, WHO CAN PROVE KWASI ADADE WRONG?? NDC IS THE WORST THING EVER TO HAVE HAPPENED TO GHANA.

They must therefore note that the Mayor was elected and placed in post under the constitution and not from their 'Abokobi' office. They have no authority/mandate to sack the Mayor so they must stop the empty threats. Yaka gbemei!!!!.

Egya Nda is rift to ask what these chiefs did with the proceeds of land sales. Same question can be asked of all the chiefs in the country including the powerful Ashanti chiefs. The Indians got rid of their wealthy Maharajahs when it became a republic. The maharajahs and Zamindaris controlled al the land in India as our chiefs do in Ghana and it hinders development of the country. A minor Maharajah would be richer and more powerful than Asantehene and even our republic. Our governments are terrified to even think of amending land laws to favour the republic because the masses support the chiefs. The masses are proud of their chiefs because chieftaincy is a tradition but not all traditions are worth keeping. What do the masses benefit from the vast number of chiefs? A few chiefs may serve their communities but in the main, chiefs only look after themselves and to he'll with everybody else including the subjects who revere them. What is the point of the chieftaincy as it is now. We can keep the chiefs but clip their wings severely and change the land laws.

Have the Supreme Court Judges also Joined President Mahama in London?
Rumours are rife on the London-based Ghanaian (radio) airwaves that some of the judges sitting on Election 2012 case pending in the Supreme Court have come to London. Some opine that the judges have come here to arrange for some money, bribery money of course, to be transferred into their bank accounts by possibly, the "Edey bii keke" President.
I do not believe these rumours about the judges or some of them come over to Britain on dubious mission. However, there is the slightest truth in every rumour. Be that as it may, who among the nine judges have come to London and for what reason?
If they have come at all, it may be to consult with their brainy White contemporaries for professional advice on how best to extricate themselves from the looming quagmire. They have only to tell the truth and ensure nothing, but absolute justice prevails. There would not be the need for coming over to London for whatsoever reason if they were going to be honest with themselves and with the Ghanaian public by basing their verdict on nothing but the credible proofs and witness statements placed before them.
Should they choose to be economical with the truth, be influenced by dubious persons promising them money and favours, then they will eventually have themselves to blame should things go sour. Their reputation is on the line so they had better take notice.
Would a Good Samaritan please check the airlines' manifest at Kotoka Airport to confirm if indeed some of the judges have travelled outside Ghana since the close of their last sitting on Thursday, 14 June 2013?
Anyway, I will not dwell on this story of which I have no proof even though some radio phone-in callers are uttering with vociferation how credible their assertion is.
I assure all and sundry that as long as the whole world is watching the court proceedings live on television and on the internet, there is nothing dubious the judges can do but to let justice prevail according as ascertained by the evidential documents in front of them. It could have been a different story if there was no live telecast of the court sittings.
The judges, whoever they are, are welcome to London. However, they are expected to be law-abiding visitors without engaging in any fraudulent activities as alleged on air. I personally believe they are not in London but in Ghana. Anyway, I have by this write-up attempted to assuage the fears of those that think the judges are in London and are on a questionable mission.
I dedicate this article to Kofi Basoah and his younger brother Kwaku Burger of Asante-Juaben.

No good leadership would make such an irresponsible and in fact, stupid statement. How could the Ga chiefs be so unrealistic. How can the problems in Ga be dealt with within 3 months?. I don't think that Ga chiefs know their own political history apart from their empty and threatening noises!!!. The Gas cannot even elect a traditional leader(mantse) from Teme, Nugua, La, Osu, Ga Matsi, Sempe etc. Over all these years, they are unable to bring their houses in order yet they have the audacity to order the Mayor to solve their problems in 3 months. They should rather pledge their support to the Mayor and help him and his team in all ways to regenerate Ga into a respectable capital city of Ghana.

The Ga chiefs’ demand for a rehabilitation of their palaces or the mayor would be removed from office is tantamount to extortion. This sort of behavior should not be tolerated in a civilized society.

They ought to be capable of maintaining their palaces, without demanding any assistance from the mayor. The mayor should not heed to their demands.

LIAR, YOU ARE NOT NDC. YOU ARE PLAYING A CHILDISH TRICK. NDC PEOPLE DO NOT WRITE SUCH FOOLISH COMMENTS
Is that a fact or not?
Chiefs do not constitute any formal administrators in Ghana. Honour given them out of Tradition and not administrative role. The National Law must be enforced!
Egya Nda is rift to ask what these chiefs did with the proceeds of land sales. Same question can be asked of all the chiefs in the country including the powerful Ashanti chiefs. The Indians got rid of their wealthy Maharajahs ...

There is noting EFFFECTIVENESS in GHANA. From the chiefs to the gov't. This all boil down to EFFECTIVENESS of our leaders. And tell me who are they?
THEY CHIEF PRIEST OF THE GA STATE IS THE NAI WULOMO. HE SUPERCEDES ALL THE WULOMEI. THE CURRENT NAI WULOMO NUUMO AKWAA MENSAH II IS THE CHIEF PRIEST OF ACCRA. NUUMO OGBARMEY IS THE SAKUMO WULOMO.
What do you expect from these know-nothing and inept writers. Editors? Are you kidding me? Same as the writers.
What has become of our chiefs ? They don't have an iota of concern to their people and environment . Look at how osu presby has dilapidated but their concern is to renovated the chiefs palace . First class FOOLS
The only person I Nikoi agree with is Kiki (if I am allowed to call you by that name). Kiki the answer to your question is No & Yes! AMA is for the Ga-Traditional area.AMA must be under the Ga-Mantse not under a Party politic ...

Amon Kotei talk sense ! the people and Chiefs of Ga state should rehabilitate their palaces themselves ! It is a shame to make this demand from the Accra boss.
Long overdue.This is the first point of call whenever officials visit the towns. Some palaces are eyesore. Chieftaincy is a constitutional establishment so must be supported from the consolidated fund.
Nonsense!! Must the state be the one to renovate or build their Palaces for them,after the have sold all their stool lands and blow the money.That is what the stool land is ment for.How about other tribes.idiots!
Rehabilitate the seven Ga palaces? Are they serious, or this is a joke. What have they been doing with the proceeds of lands sales?
Have the Supreme Court Judges also Joined President Mahama in London?
Rumours are rife on the London-based Ghanaian (radio) airwaves that some of the judges sitting on Election 2012 case pending in the Supreme Court have ...

The absurd, clueless and corrupt policies of the NDC: Money for palaces not hospitals, clinics and doctors!
Chiefs have already been provided with SUV's as part of Mahama's campaign strategy. It's palace building time now ...

SERIOUSLY' GOVERNMENT TO REHABILITATE PALACES. WHY NOT USE THE HUGE AMOUNT OF THE PLOTS THEY HAVE BEEN SELLING TO DO THESE PROJECTS? SO THAT THE GOVERNMENT CAN TAKE CARE OF OTHER IMPORTANT PROJECTS .
No good leadership would make such an irresponsible and in fact, stupid statement. How could the Ga chiefs be so unrealistic. How can the problems in Ga be dealt with within 3 months?. I don't think that Ga chiefs know their ...

GA CHIEF YOU ARE RIGHT.. THE MAN FOOL
When they said development of Accra, who would have thought they meant rehabilitation of their palaces. That certainly is not going to benefit the Ga people. If there's any development to be made by the mayor, it has to be fo ...

The Ga chiefs’ demand for a rehabilitation of their palaces or the mayor would be removed from office is tantamount to extortion. This sort of behavior should not be tolerated in a civilized society. The Accra mayor is not ...

It is not the responsibility of the government to build palace for chiefs. No responsible chief will ask the government to build a palace for him.Useless chiefs. Is a shame to demand that . Tell the mayor to build a house fo ...

Stupid Chiefs!
What have these chiefs done to fix the problems facing the City?
The solutions to the problems are not one-dimensional. It is a problem that requires the help of the chiefs too.
Ghana has collapsed and the chiefs are demanding the rehabilitation of the palaces for their own benefits!
I posted this earlier...Love it! Heck! What do you expect? When Government gives back our lands or the revenue from the illegal sale of our lands, we wont burden the taxpayers. Hehehe. Ayekoo Niimei ke Naamei. If it bothers y ...

Who sold the lands to the Government? Just asking.
Nobody sold the land to the Government. The lands were given to the state for a purpose. If they are no longer needed for those particular reasons, return it to the owners (and maybe they will grant you permission to use it f ...

Why Chiefs must be without their sandals
The Constitution bars Chiefs from this sort of thing.
Getting into politics.
HOW DID OKOE GET THAT MONEY TO BUILT HIS CASTLE (MASION) AT BAWE IN ACCRA? GOVERNMENT SHOULD PROBE HIM IMMEDIATELY.
We used the sale of our lands to renovate (plastic surgery) wu Maami tswemu.....Aboa ba
Please Ga Chiefs,try to get what you need from" ABODWESE" now because they(NDC) will be seen no more within less than a month.
AMA Chief Okoe is paying too much money to stay in power only to bring the city on its knees
