Koku's appointment scares NPP. Mahama is getting ready to fight. All the boys will join hand. The NPP cannot use the old Mills tactics again. Calling people names and incompetent will amount to zeroooo. NDC is bring the fight to NPP's door step and they are sitting down crying incompetent. Name calling will not help the NPP this time around.

"Koku Anyidoho, has been appointed as the President’s special aide with national security", so does the report says.

We have a national security advisor, minister for national security, and many underlings at the national security secretariat, why go on to create this other layer just to find a job for a deadweight like Akokufunu Anyidoho? Is he now, technically speaking, a messenger between the national security secretariat and the president? That is what this new layer appears to me. The incompetence, ineptitude and sheer buffoonery of this Mahama defies all logic. Akokufunu Anyidoho is a deadweight in the administration, why not release him to go and find a real job in the private sector like most of us do? Useless president and government that is just costing us way too much because of their incompetence and corruption. Cut the fat ass out. We can't afford him. Aden koraa? Why?

Even if Mahama starts to appoint foot soldiers by giving them ministerial post that shows that he is incompetent of the job he is doing.

Mr Anyidoho has been operating with the National Security since President John Mills died. This led to speculations of no love lost between President Mahama and Mills' former Communications Director.With his new appointment, Mr Anyidoho, who was seen as the righthand man of the late President Mills, is expected to be working closely with President Mahama at the Flagstaff house.

Since Mahama and his foolish NDC bunch of criminals considers other Ghanaian People who does not support NDC as incompetent, but only NDC supporters are only sensible people to administer this country is why our nation is sinking and will continue to sink like
a ship sinking on the high Seas.

In the head of NDC bunch of banana politicians, if one is not an NDC supporter, one is not to be employed,
as much as they (NDC) is in Government, as a result all the dynamic, sensible and great qualify
people also have decided to hide their
expectees until their party comes into
power.

Under NDC administration because of
selfishness, corruption, bad economical strategy, lies, deceitful, dishonesty, thievery and their total
hopelessness, Ghana can never, ever
progress. As a result the only better strategy to see how Ghana can be progressed is to kick out corrupt Dramani Mahama and his incompetent NDC
so-called politicians and their arm
robber supporters who are making Ghana
as a hell for the people of this nation.

Mind you, already 76% of all non-oil revenues are going into salaries, and Mahama continues to make appointments to duplicate already existing structures.

Democracy is stupid. You'd think in a democracy people would be concerned about how government uses tax revenues. Yet, here is Constable, an educated citizen, insulting those questioning these useless appointments.

There are people who were made just to spoil everything, this administration is not different.Even in advanced countries they do happen,Clinton had a surplus and Bush left a deficit.The only solution for us is to go the federal way.This govt is not thinking about schools, railways,hospitals and serious work,they want to catch up with the riches through the Woyome's definition of the rich and the poor. Create,loot and share.More jobs will be created for non Akans, that was how they voted for instead of free education and better roads,school feeding,NHIS or capitation for Twi speaking Region only.One day one day, count the days.

It looks like moves by Mahama to appease the Ewes who are displeased with the preponderance of Northerners in his Administration. Now, when are Akans also going to be appeased? After all without their votes the NDC would never even dream about winning political power. The Akans of the Central, Western, Brong Ahafo, Eastern and Ashanti Regions who helped the NDC to win political power do not deserve the marginalization they are suffering.

Why shoul Mahama do that when his own people and the Ewes who voted massively for him are not well satisfied? I support him 100% because they really showed solidarity and the foolish akans from the Cntral, BA, Eastern, Western and even Shanti rejected their own. It serves everybody right! I do not have anything personal against any tribe but what some other tribes are doing really demand that we go that way. Why must 80% of the people in the North vote against an Akan because the he is not their own. What if every tribe decides to play along that line? Funny enough, the majority of those lazy and very poor people who couldnt afford a 2-square meal a day and let alone pay for their ward's school fees were the very people who voted against FREE EDUCATION. Let the Northerners and Ewes enjoy for they deserve it!
