Ghana can only progress if NPP never comes near the reigns of power. NPP spent 8 years sharing every state property to NPP supporters. Kufuor even stole lands along the Accra-Tema Motorway, leaving no room for the expansion into a six-lane carriageway in each direction Nkrumah planned for. And this thief also took all the lands around the Tetteh Quarshie Circle. He gave part of it to his daughter who sold it to South African investors who put up the Accra Mall (ShopRite). The rest Kufuor went into joint-venture with Italians to build the Villageois Estates at the other end of Tetteh Quarshie Circle.

The good old Prof managed to retrieve only some of the state lands and bungalows back. It is therefore shocking the NPP today can turn round and be shouting about corruption. Since Nkrumah's time the UP group have never believed in playing morally right politics. All they know is to use pull-him-down tactics. But sadly they can never be trusted with public resources. Jake's and Nana Addo's fathers as well as Busia were happy to serve as CIA Agents in order to pull down Nkrumah!!!

The UP group have never been patriotic.

Hey! Bawumia, go look for a job and stop wasting our ears. The NPP has been in power for the 8years and could not turn Ghana into a manufacturing hub of West Africa until now? You bawumia would never past the position of a vice president in the NPP. You are only suffering for nothing. They will put you into some congress shit, then turn around and pay delegates to vote against you. That is the trick the NPP use, and they call that democracy.. You are not any different from Aliu. The NPP will drag you into election where they know pepeni no dey there to vote for you. You will only receive votes from yourself, your wife and children. .Ha ha ha!! Ask Aliu and family for a briefing. Aliu sponsored the NPP when prsiedent Kuffuor was a brokeman and was awarded the vice president. He made a mistake and forgot he is a northerner in NPp and tried for the Presidential slot, which was when he knew who born dog. Even Kuffor was campaigning against him. You are making a mokery of your self. The Northerners don’t have time for you. You are a joke Bawumia. Stop wasting our ears.

Yes, Ghana can become a manufacturing powerhouse, but why compare to West Africa? There is no manufacturing in West Africa. So please compare with the countries whose import duties you referred to - Brazil, USA and China-.

Dr.Bawumia, a true patriot and ardent disciple of the Danquah/Dombo/Busia fraternity !

Although 24 years of NDC misrule has helped to turn the majority of Ghanaians of voting age into foolsoldiers, all is not yet lost, since we still have the men and brains of the likes of Bawumia to turn the fortunes of Maaaame/Daaaavi Ghana in the near future.

For a highly indebted poor country(HIPC) to become a middle-income country in just 8 years without any oil revenues, speak volumes for the caliber of brains in the Danquah/Dombo/Busia fraternity.

You mention Nkrumah's Motorway, and deliberately forget his GIHOC, BLACK STAR LINES, GNTCs etc. You do not say a Rawlings stole them, and therefore... 'no NDC'.
To you, anybody is welcome to loot and destroy Ghana, so long as they are NDC. Would Ibrahim Mahama survive, if he were a member of NPP?

It will take you forever to win an election again in Ghana, because you are so naive you don't understand how to coax supporters of other parties to buy into your cause. If you think that by insulting them, they would be bullied into supporting you, you are dead wrong!

Besides, who told you NDC supporters are illiterates? This is a myth in your own mind that you believe because your own people have repeated it to you several times. You said the same thing during your election petition, where you were constantly bragging that the NPP had the most brilliant ("akukudam") lawyers in Ghana. What happened? You lost and then started blaming Justice Atuguba.

Even the recent Merchant Bank court case you lost again. It is not enough to brand yourself as better than the NDC. It is the outcome of events that tell whether you are better or worse, not the long talk and constant bragging!!!

"If you talk like this, how can you come back to moderate NDC supporters in 2016 and ask for their vote? You see why your party always wins in only the Ashanti and Eastern regions? This arrogance is what is killing the NPP".

Janet, even in the NDC's own internal politics, you people call the most competent people arrogant and vote for so-called humble and nice guys who turn out to be the most incompetent. But in the end, who loses?

Naturally, competent people are serious-minded and are often tough-talking and impatient to get things done. They don't have time for, nor do they tolerate, fooling around. For this reason, many, especially weak and lazy minds, may seem them as arrogant. But if you care about the future of this country, stop this "humble" nonsense and vote for competent people in spite of their arrogance.

You're right on one thing, not all NDC people are illiterates. But there is no doubt that most are lazy minds. You can go on voting for humble, fine-faced incompetents even in your own party. Nkwaseasem kwa!

You can sense that this is a typical academic who cannot detach himself from the notes about the industrial revolution which he read years ago. In a global economy that is steadily moving towards service and knowledge based products, here is a "Dr" who os still steeped in fantasies about heavy industrial manufacturing!

This is why Ghana needs pragmatic politicians with commonsense and not those straight-jacket academicians with nothing but only a long string of qualifications to show!!!

Where did you get this strange idea from - that people who are "competent" are impatient? It will take patience and diligence to uncover what the real and fundamental problems facing this country are. It is not your usual belligerence and bellicosity.

As far as you are concerned, nothing works (or will ever work) until the NPP is in power. No other party has the competence or the goodwill to make its own contribution to the progress and development of this country! If so, then go change the constitution so that only the NPP will be the single party in Ghana!

George H.W. Bush took the US to war in Iraq and the American people are still counting the costs of his policies in the Middle-East. Is anybody insulting Americans who voted for him to become president because of that? Your stupid impatience does not equal competence, if you care to know. And if you are smart, you would probably think soberly about Janet's postulation that you would only get the so-called "illeterate" NDC supporters on your side if you convinced them by logic and not by brutish bullying and insults.

There is no script that says NPP politicians are more competent and have Ghana more at heart than politicians of any other party. That is the "arrogance" you guys often exhibit and which we talk about. To think that for as long as anybody professes to belong to the NPP makes that person necessarily smarter than everybody else is simply silly.

If Janet does not agree with your point of view, it means she is talking "nkwaseasem"? For the false "democrats" that you NPP call yourselves, you clearly do not to understand democracy. What is she also thought you are also speaking "mmboasem" because you don't agree with her? Don't expose yourself as an intolerant twerp!!

After plundering the nation in 8 years, the NPP thinks it can pass through the backdoor to power by emabarking on its strategy of deceiving the people of Ghana again?

Before your people came to power in 2000, they told us they had already made their money so when they come, they wont "chop" money. Some of us thought they would even sacrifice their salaries, but what happened? Before they left power, they had doubled their wealth by awarding themselves lucrative and non-existent contracts from the national kitty!

So this cattle herder also wants to be president like his senior cattle herder JM? Why don't people know their limit? To me the Veep position should be the highest for anyone who has ever herded cattle, sheep or goats, or has ever reared guinea fowls.

Bawumiah should learn from Alieu Mahama who financed NPP in the the 2000 elections. And he brought in a lot of votes unlike Bawumia who even lost in his own village polling station!

And Bawumia should also not lose sight of how the NPP only adds Dombo to the foudners of NPP when they are in the north or when they are talking to a northern group. I wonder why some northerners don't find it offensive how their southern counterparts are insulting northerners.

I beg Bawumia to read the derogatory comments from his 'friends' to this article, especially he should look out for comments from "Insight to the bone".

If you want to find the most corrupt politicians in Ghana, look inside your NPP. Your party's philosophy is nothing but money money money, so they are more likely to steal than anybody else.

You forget that you brought about the political cliche called "Property Owning Democracy"? We know governance is to serve the people, but the NPP thinks it is about piling up money and property.... and you have the audacity to describe other people as corrupt. Shame on you!!!

What is you problem at all? You are insulting everybody on this platform who does not agree with you, why? Are you so bitter because the NPP keeps losing?

The people of Ghana looked at your track record and decided you are not worth their vote. This is democracy! if you were performing, why did they vote against you? Have you asked yourself why Mahama won with only 3 months campaign? It is because Ghanaians know the NPP too well.

What at all did you do for Ghana in 8 years that you are so pissed off that you were rejected by Ghanaians? Your people went peoperty-grabbing all over the place. Vodafone, Ghana airways, Drill Ship, etc!!! Jake Obetsebi Lamptey had to go as far as the supreme court to grab ONE government bungalow! You think Ghanaians don't have commonsense?

If you don't know, Ghanaians see for themselves what you did in 8 years, so it is not the plenty talk that Bawumia and his ilk engage in that will convince then to turn to the NPP. You don't win elections by insulting people because you cannot force people to vote for you. Keep on insulting and you will stay in opposition forever. You are a true nincompoop!!

Very hard for Ghana to be a manufacturing powerhouse with erratic pwr,water shortage,a highly politicised regulatory framework,scant history of manufacturing,no work ethic and a weak legal system.Any good foundation on this venture can be undone by corruption,poor connectivity to world mkts and an inefficient port surrounded by poor nations known for instability. There's good reasons why multinationals set up base in either Kenya,Egypt or S.A and operate their businesses to other african nations from there.Ghana is still a raw commodity exporter nation,not a manufacturing mecca.

And that is why he is saying with the proper implementation of import duties including abolishing some on other goods and implementation of other measures including the regular supply of electricity, the country can become a manufacturing powerhouse.
It is a laudable idea but the NPP had the chance over 8 years to change the import duty issue but didn't. Ghana doesn't manufacture vehicles and other machinery but the import duties on these commodities that will help production are way too high. Just unacceptable.

Government must reduce import duties and change bad governance practices such as corruption or we will forever remain in our poverty.

Dr Bawamia talks like your typical African politician.How does Ghana become a manufacturing hub with the current skill labor constraints, cronic power supply,poor road network and almost no rail systems? How does a trained economist think that a landlocked entity like Suame,hundreds of kilometres from any sea or river port,is going to rely on imported spare parts to become our engineering showcase? The higer tariffs are a mirror of the narrow tax base in Ghana, and they must be addressed to broaden revenue steam. I am not impressed with his partisan political economics,even for someone like me with no economics training.Ghana's problems are not so simplistic as he put them,and I am amazed by his naivity.

Foolish hypocrites...the CPP Seven Year Development Plan was going to make Ghana the development leader of the entire continent of Africa from whom our sister nations will emulate. Everything was set up for that purpose; a hydro-electric dam, and integrated aluminum plant, a steel plant, just about the necessary infrastructure was in place to make Ghana a developing country leading into the 21st century.

Now here come the very people who sabotaged this development plan talking about what? These people are the real enemies of Ghana. What is he talking about.Listen Bawumia and the NPP, opportunity comes but once.We missed the chance to become an industrial nation due to your Party"s hatred of Nkrumah's socialist program.

Increase in taxes has been the philosophy or the AFRC/P-NDC since 1979. They increase taxes on virtually everything; that was when Dr. Kwasi Botchwey was Secretary for Finance and Economic Planning. Folks will recall that there was separate taxes on vehicles that were gasoline and air condition and diesel vehicles etc. and as well, colour TVs and VCRs demanded 500% taxes by govt. on their domestic items.

Late Atta-Mills who the NDC always boasted to be Tax & Law Professor didn't see it differently; he also brought high taxes thereby stifling economic growth.

Since the NDC came into power, the Cedi continues to lose it's value against all major international currencies eg: US $ 1.00 = GHc 1.00 in 2008; US $ 1.00 = GHc 2.15 at current. that's more than 100% decline. Isn't that horrible? et the NDC want Ghanaians to believe that everything is just right with the nation's economy. I wonder where they had their education on economics? Wow!
Let us be thankful to the Lord because He does things mysteriously and that's why we're seeing all these things. The Lord has a purpose for everything. I'm optimistic that Ghana won't be the same when Nana Akufo-Addo and Dr. Bawumia win the elections. Things continue to fall apart for Ghanaians prices have reached unbelievable levels as the NDC continue to deceive people each day.

USA Get more revenue from imports. I cant give you the exact figure but is in the region of 18-24% import revenues. Braizl Imports more capaital goods and import less consumer goods.
In Ghana, the tax system is not bad as compared to other countries. The main problem is Corruption!
Companies Reclaim the taxes from the revenue authority but tend to buy cars, machines and others for machine dealers in the name using it for production. A factory i know bought 10 generators for a retailer and forged the document as using it for back up power.
This is the problem otherwise MR aspirant Bawumia does not even know the tax system in Ghana but want to be a president and more so someone who has worked in Bank of Ghana before should do a proper analysis. His followers are also blind that no one actually challenged his empty talks!

But we worship God with only our lips; his fear and love is not in our hearts and so we do what please us. We believe in ourselves rather in God, lies become our paths to walk in and we are ready to proclaim to those we seem to be smarter than with clouds of calculated words then feed in selfish and arrogance; how can we go forward? Let's stop believing in ourselves and try to leave room in our hearts for the fear of God to dominate our conducts and behaviors.

God won't establish that which is dirty, never. We don't see God in politics rather, we see politics as a way to amass wealth for ourselves. Majority of politicians are thieves, they use paper and ink with their dirty smartness to amass wealth of dishonesty to themselves. For if we see God in politics, we'll carry out purpose of God for establishing politics. One thing you politicians don't know is that you may accumulate wealth to yourself today but tomorrow you will not make to heaven. You may have all that the world may give but eternal life is a gift of God and is not part of the world of today but those who but those who see that gift working towards it shall have it by faith in Christ Jesus.

After talking plenty, not even a single one alternative did he advance to show he has the right policies to turn Ghana's manufacturing sector around. And mind you, all the complain about import duties and his theoretical rebutting of that really mean nothing. The majority of our imports in Ghana are not raw materials but finished goods. Should we as a country not charge high taxes on finished goods that have alternates in Ghana? Sometimes, critics talk to much and see some of us as zombies.

It is true with the right policies we can turn the manufacturing sector around, but I will not reduce those policies to just taxes. I will rather the government inject capital, deliberately to identified businesses that have the potential to grow. For instance, we can begin by ensuring that we add value to our raw materials in Ghana. Let the government set up a gold refinery in Ghana. Let the government add to processing our raw cocoa into at least mid-level paste for the manufacturing sector. Let the government spend more in ensuring we have a vibrant aluminum plant to process aluminum. Let us encourage our steel companies to grow and let them do well. All of these are already ongoing. The problem is modernizing their operations to make them competitive globally and sub-regionally. Those are the policies we need to put in. And in so doing, we deliberately work out tax regimes that do not burden such manufacturing sectors. So Dr. Bawumia should be telling us what to do and not what is wrong. We are tired of listening to what is wrong always.

Am not surprised with you and your Kwesi. Go speak to the AGI people and they will confirm what Bawumia was saying. How comes that the manufcaturing sectors contribution to the GDP has been falling. Between 2003 and 2007, the NPP consitently reduced the corporate tax rate yet there were phenomenal increases in tax revenue. Do you know where that came from. Go check the World Banks Cost of Doing Business and reflect on Ghana's performance and stop being loud mouthed half baked intellectuals.

Listen to this walewale bush cow again! This man knows no shame. Why are some people so stupid like this! Why can´t this young man go look for a good job and build his future, instead of fooling himself for these tribalistic animals? I am yet to hear his name after the diabolical case was thrown out of court. People like this man are the ones disgracing the northerners. What does he want? After he was push to go and tell lies under oath before the supreme court to save the face of these criminals, they have started shouting for Allan Kyerematen to lead the party. Sadly, this bush cow called Bawumia is not learning anything from this. Very pathetic. Eight years, you couldn´t make Ghana the export hub of Africa but you want Mahama to do it within less than a year. You are a confused foolish man! It´s only the NPP and your family that you can tell such rubbish. Hopeless fool!

You have to start somewhere, comparing VW, FORD, and Toyota, is like mixing apples with oranges. We as a country have to produces about 50% of what we need. Depending on China is the wrong way to go. Our import duties is so high, and as a investor why will I do business in Ghana, which will increase my overhead cost because of import duties? What Dr. Bawumia talking about make sense. In today's market you have to be competitive, this what Ghana is lacking.

The NDC party has never demonstrated that they have the cranial capacity to address the difficulties they have by themselves plunged Ghana into, and the figures and numbers as well as the state of the economy, speaks truth to the position raised by Dr. Bawumia.
The clear absence of the ability of the NDC party led by John Mahama-the President, and who was the head of the economic management team as a Vice President and the inability of the current Vice President, who was formerly the Governor of the BoG, and is currently, the head of the Economic management team of the NDC gov't, to address the gargantuan difficulties is the reason why, Ghanaians are being taxed senseless with a shrinking tax base and further sending Ghanaians into a state of hopelessness and despair. The fact has been established time and again that, the NDC gov't lacks the ability to do it and Ghanaians cannot wait in their quest to lead meaningful, healthy and prosperous lives led by a gov't with the brain power and experience of getting the job done. Be bold and vote out the NDC in 2016, because the NDC gov't has demonstrated that, they cannot do it, but can create, loot and share.

Talk is cheap for african politicians especially when they do not have to pay to open their beaks to spew out grap to their ignorant listeners.According to UNESCO,any country with 33% of illiteracy cannot develop.Ghana has 65% plus illiteracy,-this figure includes those at the helm of affairs,ministers,public servants and mayors etc,etc,etc. Dr.Bawumia,- will you tell me any achievement by the past and present government since the demise of the visionary Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.Fifty six years after independence we still drink guinea worm infested water from lakes,rivers and ponds with animals.There are no medicines in the hospitals,our towns and villages are dirty.we defecate everywhere like animals,'corruption is the middle name of Ghana'.Nowhere in this world would you find poor students who were struggling to pay their loan to run a government.It can only happen in Ghana.The end result is what we are paying.Every thing is upside down because we are not educated-having a degree does not make you educated man.In a real world,educated people who are appointed to serve the citizens,do not rob the citizens they are supposed to serve.In Ghana and else where in Africa,the politicians are the armed robbers.The visionless leaders in Ghana have sold all the state own assets which we cannot ever replace because of stupidity and greed.We are victim of our own stupidity,ignorance and backwardness.We need patriotic,selfless and leaders with vision and not book long educated fools without common sense.Let's talk common sense-Dr.Bawumia,your generation of politicians are materialistic,thieves and despicable.Wake up Dr.Bawumia-let us learn how to crawl before walking and don't be a sleep walker or zombie.-Nana Egyir Aggrey Snr citizen
