CRAZY NDC SYCOPHANTS DOUBTED MY WORDS!! NOW THE REALITY HAS DAWNED!!!!-----MAHAMA AND HIS BUNCH OF CROOKISH INCOMPETENT CORRUPT MONSTERS CAN NEVER DO IT! NO! NOT IN A MILLION YEARS!!! NDC LACK THE BRAINS. JUST LOOK AROUND; CAN'T YOU SEE? JUST OPEN YOUR EARS; CAN'T YOU HEAR? IS THIS THE GHANA K4 HANDED OVER TO NDC GREEDY CORRUPT BASTARDS??? ---------------WHO CAN PROVE KWASI ADADE WRONG? I AM SAYING, THAT, GHANAIANS VOTED FOOLISHLY!!-- IS THIS NDC'S BETTER GHANA? THEN WHAT WILL THEIR BITTER GHANA BE?--- IF THIS IS NDC'S PRAISE THE LORD, THEN, WHAT WILL THEIR CRUCIFY HIM BE?--- GHANA'S PROBLEM, TODAY, IS NOTHING BUT THE RESULT OF CRIMINAL NDC'S ALLIANCE TO CREATE, LOOT AND SHARE POLICY***---------------*** "IT IS ONLY A FOOL, WHO ALLOWS HIS TESTICLES TO BE STEPPED ON, TWICE"-------GO OUT THERE AND RECEIVE YOUR REWARD, ALL GHANAIANS. GO AND PAY THE PRICE FOR YOUR FOOLISHNESS. YOU DON'T GIVE A SECOND MANDATE TO AN INCOMPETENT AND CORRUPT GOVERNMENT, NO!! NOT AT ALL, THAT IS ABOMINATION IN DEMOCRACY, VERY SUICIDAL. HAD NDC MANAGED THE ECONOMY WELL, THESE ECONOMIC PROBLEMS WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN THE SITUATION. NDC HAS PRESIDED OVER THE BIGGEST RESOURCES GHANA HAS EVER HAD. THEY HAVE ALSO CONTRACTED MORE LOANS THAN ANY OTHER GOVERNMENT IN OUR HISTORY, BUT THEY HAVE NOTHING TO SHOW FOR THIS. GHANAIANS SHOULD HAVE ENJOYED SOME ECONOMIC PROGRESS AT THIS TIME IN OUR HISTORY. THE ECONOMY IS COLLAPSING BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT IS SO CORRUPT. TO RESCUE THE SITUATION, THE POOR IS NOW BEING FORCED TO PAY. THIS IS INJUSTICE. THIS IS NOT THE GHANA KUFFOUR HANDED OVER TO NDC, HE EVEN ADDED FRESH CRUDE OIL WELLS. NPP TRANFORMED GHANA TO A MIDDLE INCOME ECONOMY WITH LIMITED RESOURCES BUT GOOD POLICIES. NDC IS WOEFULLY REVERSING THESE NPP ACHIEVEMENTS. GHANA'S CURRENT SITUATION IS VERY DISTURBING. WHEN THE HISTORY IS TOLD, IT WILL BE SAID THAT GHANAIANS WERE OFFERED FREE SECONDARY EDUCATION, IMPROVED UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE, SOCIAL HOUSING FOR THE POOR AND AN EGALITARIAN SOCIETY BUT 50% SAID NO THANK YOU. THEY PREFERRED ECONOMIC "WOYOMISATION" , PHANTOM DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS, PHILANDERERS FOR LEADERS, MACHIAVELLIAN DISRESPECTFUL CORRUPT LOUTS AND A VISIONLESS EVIL GOVERNMENT. I AM SO PROUD I VOTED FOR NANA AKUFFO ADDO.

the govt needs to implement measures that ensure the wealth of the nation remains with the people of the nation and for example introduce measures the discourage the gold mines frome continually siphoning out the money instead of investing in the economy , encourage the establishment of processing plants and factories instead of all these foolish procurement contracts , facilitate the easier return of our diaspora but ensuring a fair judiciary and institutions of state that function instead of all these corrupt sheriffs that only think of themselves . it doesnt matter which party is in power as long as they focus on the unity of the people and avoid anything or action that creates second class citizens . i say nationalise the gold concessions now or there will be a bloody revolution before the year is over and the country will fall apart . bring people who are fair a, competent and have integrity instead of these greedy barstards who lie so much that they themselves dont know what the truth is . stop the tribalism and introduce a system whereby merit and hard work are rewarded instead of all the propaganda mudslinging lies you serve us everyday , in short start to care so the people can show you love

The greatest problem in Ghana is the inability or unwillingness of people in authority to enforce law, rules and regulations. From the Executive to the Legislature and the Judiciary, none of these constitutional bodies has been able to enforce a single law, rule or regulation to the letter. Sometimes, I wonder why the Legislature passes more Acts when the existing one are diregarded. Until this cancer is uprooted and effective remedy administered, incompetency, corruption and lawlessness will continue to plague the country. The fight against poverty will be a mirage. No society can develop with indiscipline and lawlessness as has been happening in Ghana since independence.

Despite the BoG directives on business not being conducted in foreign currency (dollar), there are reports of hotels still charging dollars, yet the authorities have done absolutely nothing and kept mute. What sort of country is Ghana?

In Egypt the procedure for changing Egyptian pounds to the dollar are so cumbersome and laborious that one is better off keeping the local currency. The same in Cnada and some other countries. After the redenomination of the cedi everyone thought Ghanaians had made a worthwhile scarifice, but now we are back to square one. Both NPPand NDC govts did not have the discipline to police the dollar.

Where FiFi Kwettey the economic GURU of the NDC government so after his years as a student he cannot come up with the solutions to help thid NDC government ; how on earth can a government employ student ministers to manage the vital affairs of a nation; a student who flies to Lonfon to take lectures and return to Accra to be a minster how can you emply a srudent minister who never worked in his life ; here I am talking about Ablakwa ; Victoria Hammah etc ; how can you employ a street guy like lamtey Vederpuje into government to be a minister when the guy has not got a clue how international trade works and learn on the job because he is an NDC man ; how could you have a Presidents who leaves his country people begind and enjoys himself in a property bought by Agambira involved in the GYEEDA saga ; there is something verry very very WRONG in Ghana !!!!!!!!!!!!! ; the plain truth is that whatever we do this Jon Mahama government haveno clue what to and even if they knew they will not implement the remedies because that would mead stepping on people toes in the NDC.

THE CEDI IS THE ONLY LEGAL TENDER IN GHANA.THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT BOW TO ANY EXTERNAL PRESSURE TO USE ANY FOREIGN CURRENCY FOR TRANSACTIONS IN GHANA BECAUSE IT IS NOT IN THE LONG-TERM INTEREST OF GHANA AS THE DEPRECIATION OF THE CEDI HAS SHOWN.THE BANK OF GHANA, AS THE GOVERNMENT BANK HAS PURSUED THE TRADITIONAL MONETARY POLICIES AFFECTING BANK RATE, CASH RATIO, TREASURY BILLS AND OTHER MEASURES AIMED AT MOPING UP EXCESS LIQUIDITY IN THE ECONOMY AND THEREBY REDUCE AGGREGATE DEMAND IN THE ECONOMY WITH ITS STABILISING EFFECT ON THE CEDI.
AS A LAST RESORT, I SUGGEST TO THE BANK OF GHANA TO USE THE TACTIC OF "MORAL SUASION"."MORAL SUASION" IS A PERSUASION TACTIC TO BE USED BY THE GOVERNOR TO INLUENCE BUT NOT FORCE THE COMMERCIAL BANKS TO ADHERE TO HIS POLICIES.THE GOVERNOR COULD ARRANGE CLOSED-DOOR MEETINGS WITH THE COMMERCIAL BANKS AS A MEANS OF MORAL SUASION.

The cedi is a by-product of Ghanaian production and exchange. If you sit down for the structures of this production and exchange to be destroyed, you inevitability shoot down the cedi. You have access to all things but it's not everything that's good for you. You might think that imports are cheap, loans are quick, foreign investors will bring quick fixes but as the saying goes, the short path is a woe

The NDC must also concede that they are a failure and need to be replaced. They have no idea what steps to take to stabilize the cedi. The are still indexing tariffs to the value of the cedi. That, by itself is dollarization.

We citizens of GHANA and various governments from since Nkrumah was overthrown; with the exception of Kutu Acheampong's regime have all contributed to the present decay in our of our nation...............

The dollarisation of our economy started with the PNDC era, right through the NDC, NPP eras till this present day! A state that trades in other nation's currency it does not produce, is a failed state! PERIOD!

How on earth can we trade locally in dollars and continue to wonder why the cedi keeps falling???? Are we that stupid to keep playing the stupid political cheap shots between the two most useless parties? They have led us into this mess, together with our own citizens who continue to trade in dollars in our system.

Since we, as a nation fell for the madness of the IMF/World Bank's (IMF/WB) Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP) and ‘globalisation’ con in December 1982, we have never been the same again.

We have forever fallen for their policies and the results are now staring us right in the face.........
importing everything from rice, sugar, tomatoes, frozen chicken to toothpicks from China........without exporting anything??????? And we wonder why the cedi is falling and failing??????

Anything we export today, is to repay both old and present debts. What a nation!!!!!!!

Our oil is nothing to bring to the fore. Ghana basically buys oil on the world market at hiked prices while our own cheaper oil is shipped quietly off to the West unchallenged. We sell our crude on the cheap to be refined and sold back to us at silly prices and we wonder why we are a FAILED NATION????

Corruption and LIES are rife everywhere, from the top, though all the ministries by so-called leaders and so-called intellectuals all the way down to our market places, churches, schools etc..............

If we, together with other African leaders had listened to and supported one of our greatest leaders in Gaddaffi and had stabilized/structured our economies by pitching our rich resources of oil and gold against the dollar.....We in Ghana would not be in such a FAILED state.

Instead we fall for the West's propaganda rhetoric and rid such a person of vision from our midst and allow our so-called leaders to sell us short.

We the citizens of Ghana are paying the price of remaining silent for far too long a time, to allow these two useless parties in NDC and NPP to play ball with us and sell all our rich resources on the cheap to their 'controllers' on the cheap and to enrich themselves and their families.

Ghanaians and more importantly AFRICANS.......WAKE UP FROM YOUR SLUMBER!!!!!! IMF/World Bank or aid can NEVER lead us anywhere! It is OUR collective thinking and hard work that
would. WE HAVE FAILED OUR CHILDREN!! SO, IT'S TIME FOR REAL CHANGE AND A BETTER WAY FORWARD!!!!!

GOD BLESS GHANA!
AFRICAN FOREVER!
