Yes it is time to rise up and get rid of this corrupt no-nothing government.

Dr Percy is right. Why should Ghana open its market to other countries when they have not then the same.

Look at your market today and see all kinds of unnecessary items from China which would never be allowed in Europe. Do not make Ghana a dumping place.

That said I would not be surprised that the minister will sign without bringing it to the parliament for discussion because these bench of fools there do not no anything.

Ghana is really in trouble. WE must rise up and overthrow them like Thailand have done to their corrupt and incompetent government. It is up to us. These people in power have nothing good for you apart from filling their own pockets.

Well said Dr. Percy, do you mean that Akufo Addo signed Ghana into partial slavery? Under the NPP government, Ghana and Cote D'Ivoire signed a partial EPA agreement with the EU and no body heard any ugly noise from this block headed Dr. Percy. Fellow Ghanaians, you have been warned, for you would know them by the fruits. Now I know that NPP, with the hand of Akufo Addo, signed Ghana into partial slavery. Okofo try and study the EPA and donot get hooked by any nonsense spewed out by a confused Dr. who has no idea of international finance. Ghanaian wise up. Bye

In Congo they cutoff all these little children hands because of rubber to make bicycle tires. In Americas they killed off all the Indians. In Australia they killed all their babies..Now how can u trust such a person who will eat up his next door neighbor n feed the bones to his dog..who preaches homosexuality because thier wives are making love to thier dogs. We were all doing Ok before these aliens came with the matrix (vitual reality). From the words of great prophet;Dont let them fool you or even try to school you. My advise is to walk the other way as soon as u see one of this aliens...boycott vondafone. One!

This is a presides who just thinks Ghana will be industrialised by merely saying that we should all buy "Made In Ghana2 goods yet he (MAHAMA) and his NDC idiots are going to open 80% of their Ghanaian market to foreign competition.
Will this help our local manufacturers/producers? Is EPA good FOR Ghana? How much of the EU markets will be opened to Ghana?

Oh Africa! Oh visionless African leaders! We can just as well bury the buy - made in Ghana products or made in Africa produce mantra.

OMG! Kwame Nkrumah don tire for nothing. Were Africa to be united; could the EU etc play such games with us?!

The behaviour of African leaders reminds of a famous quote from Oscar Wilde

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars. – Oscar Wilde

Simply interpreted - it simply means how some people even in worst conditions are optimistic and ambitious. Never lose hope even in adverse conditions but make create and innovative. Always aim at stars and beleive in your bloody self.

See, we are all have the same problems but some of us choose to look at the bright side, think positively, because we possess more than half of the wealth in the world so rather than feeling sorry for ourselves & complaining we should pull up our sleeves and work hard. Our leaders are there to serve our interest and not to be served. But these belly thinkers stomachs are a worry; they will sell Mama Africa down the river again. They will eat a bowl of wheat today as if there is no tomorrow. Greedy bastards!

African leaders should struggle ceaselessly to be at the people’s service. They should identify themselves fully with the people’s aspirations for a fuller life. They should continue to fight uncompromisingly against the forces militating against our progress. It is their task to expose and unmask modern imperialism and neo-colonialism in all its forms and manifestations, and support our endeavours for the political unification of our Continent. They must blaze the trail of Africa rising not falling. Africa must unite if not we stand the danger of a second wave of slavery; this time around remotely controlled. WE must stop this El Dorado for the sake of our own people.

African leaders are a great disappointment and a real shame! These YES men bow to the slightest pressure and freely put their heads into the EU, American or Chinese noose. What a CRYING SHAME!

But did he (Nkrumah) stand against exploitation when the tyre hit the road? Were we not exploited with the VRA contract, do you remember the bogus contract that we signed with Kaiser? Thanks to JJ for asking for a review. Without economic freedom it is hard to fight exploitation and win, unfortunately Nkrumah “Seek ye first the political kingdom, and all else shall be added unto you...." although sounds good was not a true statement. Until we get our act together we will forever be exploited.

You are totally mistaken in your understanding of the VRA contract and of Nkrumah. Nkrumah knew what he was doing when he signed the contract: 1 step backward to move 2 steps forward! There was no other financing option. He couldn't get financing from either the Soviets or the Chinese in those days. So it was either the dam on Kaiser's terms or no dam at all! Thank God, Nkrumah got the dam built. Had he not, you'd be reading by candle light right now!!! Had Nkrumah not been overthrown he would have gotten out of that contract before the 90's. What did Rawlings do with the fruits of Nkrumah's labour - GIHOC? Think well before you comment.

Nkrumah never dies. The Axioms of Kwame Nkrumah are still true today. The ideas and ideals of Nkrumah still stand because it is only when Africa is politically(combined foreign policy), economically(Finance) with a common defence force united that we can be able to avert the danger of further exploitation.

Africa MUST unite for the sake of her own people who are living in abject poverty in every sense of the word and sphere one can think of. I am afraid, "give it to God" people like you and those suffering from intellectual poverty are not invited in this endeavour. This is for the Brave Hearts not chickens.

I am surprised that Africans have dealt with Europeans for more than 500 years and still haven't learnt anything about them. We stupidly and naively still embrace these people the same way our forefathers welcomed them as friends in 1471.

When Nana Kwamina Ansah and his elders were warmly accepting them as friends, and giving them land to build their home (castle) for co-existence, their White friends were thinking of how they could use their new home (castle), as an opportunity, to enslave their free-hearted host, colonize their land, and take every precious property on the land free to enrich themselves.

I think the modern generation is more stupid than our forefathers. We claim to be enlightened but we are worse - it is not the first fool but the second, who is more foolish.

It's about time, Ghanaians understand that the Whiteman will never give them a free lunch. It's always going to be a Dollar for Penny relationship. Ghana will lose big time in the end. You'll send one container of pineapple, and they will flood our market with 100 containers of toothpicks.

Some of them even supported to overrun other Ghanaian tribes because of their selfish interest and in the end they them selve become the first to be slaved.
The blame can not be given to the third generation. Dr. Kwame Nkrumah knew that Ghana alone do not have the capacity to meet these white killers as a result he made the attempt to unify Africa to free us from the Europeans. It is about time this deal be made transparent for all the generations to see. Freedom of speech and the fourth power must be activated now to discuss this matter hottest for the whole world to see and hear. The battle must start from there otherwise hide and sign will become daylight for another 500 years. Our interest must be protected at the spot!!!

I knew Dr Percy had a very strange theory on driving but did expect him to be this radical to be calling for civil disobedience to overthrow a democratically elected government. I guess in his mature age he has become too radical.

Africa as whole should renegotiate the terms of the EPA as Ghana cannot do it alone. This debate needs level headedness and not radical, anti trade anti Europe or anti imperialism/colonialism but rather something that enhance trade for the benefit of the people of Africa and Europe.

This is a concrete situation. It is clear that the agreement in its current form is biased in favour of Europe, and completely detrimental to our industrial development.

What the EU is doing is arm-twisting African leaders in order to soften them up. There is nothing that prevents Ghanaians from overthrowing a government that wants to enslave them! And there is nothing radical about refusing to be enslaved!

This agreement is going to be signed in October. There is no Ghanaian organisation clamouring for it, apart from the EU. The entire nation is opposed to it. In fact, the more you study it, the angrier you become.

What do you expect sensible Ghanaians to do? Just allow them to sell us out in October? Our freedom is more important than the republic. We did not vote for Mahama to enslave us!

Let him just try and see what will happen in Nkrumah's Ghana!

Nana thank you for your contribution. The question who would replace Mahama and his government? History is important. After Mahama overthrow, it would be Percy and co would be part of the new government and down the line sell the nation to Europe like they did in October 1982 through the Economic Recovery Programme and the bogus Structural Adjustment Programme. Africa must unite and negotiate on some strength. It is wrong to call for the overthrow of an elected government in Ghana. Percy is wrong. Lets learn from the December 1981, 13 January 1972 and the 24 February coups. They sent the nation backward. No to all coups, yes to the ballot box.

I am glad that someone has started the ball rolling. So far the opposition and the media have done nothing but if it took this treasonable statement to bring the matter to fore, good for him

I'm loving it.

Yes, I do agree with you that Democracy has finally come to stay. What I don't share with you is the understanding of Democracy we are talking about it here. To you, democracy is when the people just line up every 4 years to choose the leaders for them to turn around and abuse them.

But to me, democracy entails more than that and it is, OF the people, BY the people, FOR the people. Therefore, the people can rise up at anytime and demand for their rights. Do you hear?

Ghanaians must thank Dr. Percy for coming out with this topic EPA.
Even human-rightswatch of Kenya have already anticipates the Negative outcome of EPA for its own rural market, for wheat, corn, milk, poultry farms in Kenya As to Europa onthe other hand, an open market ... which means: they talk at cross.purposes.

We know quite well that the Western World has its own interests. This EPA "Europe Partnershaft Aggreement" this European Business Agreement, they pretend that EU will "contribute to African sustainable Interest BUT..... Pres Mahama must watch out.

This EPA has contributed to seriouse unemployement, distitution, illness, robbery of landscapes, forced settlement are the motivations of migration through the Sahara.

Oh Africa! Oh visionless African leaders! We can just as well bury the buy - made in Ghana products or made in Africa produce mantra.

OMG! Kwame Nkrumah don tire for nothing. Were Africa to be united; could the EU etc play such games with us?!

The behaviour of African leaders reminds of a famous quote from Oscar Wilde

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars. – Oscar Wilde

Simply interpreted - it simply means how some people even in worst conditions are optimistic and ambitious. Never lose hope even in adverse conditions but make create and innovative. Always aim at stars and beleive in your bloody self.

See, we are all have the same problems but some of us choose to look at the bright side, think positively, because we possess more than half of the wealth in the world so rather than feeling sorry for ourselves & complaining we should pull up our sleeves and work hard. Our leaders are there to serve our interest and not to be served. But these belly thinkers stomachs are a worry; they will sell Mama Africa down the river again. They will eat a bowl of wheat today as if there is no tomorrow. Greedy bastards!

African leaders should struggle ceaselessly to be at the people’s service. They should identify themselves fully with the people’s aspirations for a fuller life. They should continue to fight uncompromisingly against the forces militating against our progress. It is their task to expose and unmask modern imperialism and neo-colonialism in all its forms and manifestations, and support our endeavours for the political unification of our Continent. They must blaze the trail of Africa rising not falling. Africa must unite if not we stand the danger of a second wave of slavery; this time around remotely controlled.

African are a great disappointment! These yes men bow to the slightest pressure and freely put their heads into the EU,American or Chinese noose. What a SHAME!

read full comment

After 10 years of tough negotiations, on 24th January 2014, West African and European Commission (EC) negotiators reached a major breakthrough on what now will be the first regional economic partnership agreement (EPA) since 2007.

This is no small achievement. Given the disparity of situations among West African countries, some needing an EPA to preserve their preferential market access to the EU, (Cote d’Ivoire and Ghana), while others were not dependent on it. Failure to reach a regional agreement with the EU would have strained, and potentially threatened to disrupt, the integration process of

WEST AFRICA.

It is significant given the divergence of views between Europe and ECOWAS. By putting their differences in perspective and focusing on the ultimate goals, the parties have shown the necessary flexibility to reach a politically, as well as economically, important agreement.

WHAT’S IN IT?
Compromise has been reached by both parties on a number of thorny issues that had blocked previous rounds of negotiations. For the first time in over 10 years, the EC has agreed on a flexible interpretation of the threshold required to liberalise substantially all trade, in order to be compatible with the rules of the WTO. Recognizing the special characteristics of West Africa, a deal was struck at 75% of trade to be liberalised over the next 20 years, rather the EU request for 80% over 15 years. Such flexible and pragmatic approach has played a key role in unlocking the negotiations. The EC further agreed to stop all export subsidies to West

AFRICAN COUNTRIES.

West Africa also had to compromise to reach an agreement, notably by accepting the controversial Most Favoured Nation Treatment clause (though the clause contains some exceptions). The non-execution clause has not been included, but a reference was made to the principle of the Cotonou Agreement according to which any party could be suspended from the Agreement in case of breaches to human rights, democratic principles and rule of law.
Regarding the financing of development, the amount agreed under the EPA Development Programme (PAPED) remains at 6.5 billion euros for the period 2015-19, and there is no explicit commitment to provide “additional resources”. This was to be expected, given the financial situation of most European countries and the constraints on their development budgets. This is falls 8.5 million euros short of the West African estimates. The EU (Commission, member states and financial institutions) best endeavor commitment to seek solutions to finance the gaps are the only additional comfort West African have been able to obtain.

WHAT NOW?

It seems that both the EU and West Africa (Nigeria and Senegal included) can finally go home and claim victory. Countries with the biggest interests (Cote d’Ivoire and Ghana) have been able to maintain their market access to the EU while preserving regional unity and coherence with the current regional integration agenda. Good for West Africa. The European Commission has been able to reach a new EPA deal, at last, which vindicates some of its instance on the merits of an agreement. Its flexibility on market access, a key aspect of the ECOWAS-EU EPA, has also proved vital. More importantly, by concluding a deal, the EU and ECOWAS have avoided a serious political and economic fallout which would have inevitably followed from a collapse of the talks.

WHAT’S THE WAY FORWARD?
The agreement reached by the senior officials will have to be officially sealed, apparently in a meeting early February in Brussels by the Chief negotiators, to be endorsed at the ECOWAS Head of States Summit end of February. What it means for the rest of Africa remains uncertain, though. African Union Heads of States are gathering in Addis Ababa today to discuss continental priorities. As it sets out to refine the contours of its Agenda 2063, in which economic development is the central pillar, the African Union will have to add to its long list of challenges innovative ways of coming to grips with the diversity of regional initiatives and their consistency with the continental agenda. EPAs are also on their agenda, as they are expected to give a signal of African Unity as the joint Africa-EU Summit looms in the horizon.

The coherence of regional integration at the pan-African level, and among regions, remains an issue. To which extend issues agreed in West Africa could have a positive impact on other regions remains to be seen. Will the EU exhibit additional flexibility towards other regions as well, and if so, in which areas? Can a deal be reached in other regions? One would hope so, and the ECOWAS-EU EPA is a positive signal. But this will continue to require flexible approaches by all parties, and a continued political commitment at the highest level to overcome differences. The Africa-EU Summit should also offer such an opportunity.

The EU is currently running a similar tariffs quotas with our sisterly countries in East and Southern African called EU-ESA and nobody is complaining at that part of the world yet. So I assumed all must be going good at their quarters. By the way, could you help me find the read or explanation on the WTO tariffs quotas before all.

It look like the agreement on the table is more inclined toward that of the WTO model.

And does the human rights include gayism?
The EPA is a trap, and Ghana from all indications does not need the EPA. It's clearly time for visionary and capable leadership, which would leverage on our natural resources and tap into the intellectual capacity and depth of our human resource capacity to chart a new course. It's about time Ghana and Africa sought new markets and partnerships within the continent itself, which creates the platform and the architecture for local indigenous growth and not one, that banishes Ghana and Africa perpetually to hewers and drawers of wood.

Doc you are 100% right. And mother Ghana needs skeptics like you. Africa should not be signing any treaties with any continent unless it is Cristal clear that the intentions of the contract is to the benefit of Africa. Why should we sign any trade agreement when in fact we import more than we produce as a nation. A free trade agreement will lead to trade deficit, a negative impact on the Cedis and deplete Ghana's foreign currency reserve if we have any. Shouldn't we be focusing on import substitution through domestication. Where are the visionaries of Africa.

Do not give up Doc. You have support but a military action would not not a best solution. This smells like a like therefore merits a careful approach

It's high time Ghana paid attention to sourcing technical know-how(knowledge)from the developed countries and build our economy than putting on ties and suits or "boubou", knocking on developing and developed countries doors to beg for economic support. Ghana is the richest land in the world but because we are poor and sick in the mind,majority remain poor.

What is wrong with Ghana selling and buying from European Union. EU is many countries under one agreement, if all these countries want to trade with ghana why should anybody say no.
Dr Percy is missing the point about trade, what do ghana have and the EU need. We dont have much for other countries that is why they want to trade with us.
If all ghanaians use only local products the european union will move to ghana. Ghanaians wants things from EU because our governments prefer to lick arse for money than to give ghanaians the help the need to produce locally.
Why should importing things like rice. Rice can grow anywhere maize can grow, why not grow them with this vast land we have.
If ghanaians in ghana wants to live like those living in america, EU is our answer.
Ghanaians goes to polling station cast the votes and elect our president. Ghanaians has pass that stupid word Overthrow/ Coup. Percy need some more thinking and vision before he can ever say a right thing or make a right decision. Nobody can force anybody to buy things from them. EPA means think about me first.

The fact of the matter is:

Mahama should not go about preaching to propagate the desire Ghanaians should have on our locally-made products,if he is on another side of the coin,going to sign a pact,that allows EU to export their finished goods that will incur an 80% tax free,in Ghana.

I DON'T BUY THAT.

Coup in Ghana is not acceptable.
We don't like it,but MAHAMA SHOULD ALSO COME CLEAR,WHERE HE STANDS:

FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF HIS NATION OR THE EU?
Because he seems to be in double standards,here,as a real hypocrite.

And this Mahama NDC gov't would want to tell the masses that, he believes that, Ghana should stop the importation of everything from outside the country. How does the signing of the EPA lead to the growth of indigenous local businesses since by signing this contract, would open up Ghana to European goods and services tariff-free? What does that hold for our own production?
The NDC gov't is not right for Ghana. I would go with a party and a team, which says "I BELIEVE IN GHANA" - the NPP.

If someone with a PhD could say this in public, I want to throw away my LLM degree because it means acquiring educational knowledge has lost its value. EPA negotiation started as far back as 1975 and it was supposed to be effective in 2008 at Contonu agreement. If Dr Percy thinks it's not good for Africa and therefore Ghana, at least, one expects his finding to support his argument rather making treason statements in public. This is not a matter of free speech but rather a subversive proclamation. This guy must be charge and try at the court of law.

If it is true that these negotiations started in 1975, can you tell us why it has taken so long?. You can sign such an agreement if your products are good enough to compete and if you also have free and unhindered access to their markets. What does Ghana manufacture? I would agree with you if Dr. Percy was advocating a military coup. But I think he wants all Ghanaians to stand up in a people's revolution und protect our future. Europe has been selling to Africa for centuries without any impediments, why do they need a BINDING agreement now? Please take a cue from that. Thanks. Mensah-Bonsu.

For future trade relations with the EU, West African countries have to choose between two options that are WTO compatible. One option is EPA and the other is to export under the EU’s GSP scheme. These were contrary to the Lomé IV Convention which was to improve the trade performance of the ACP countries, in promoting economic growth and development where the EU offered non-reciprocal trade preferences to products originating in ACP countries.
However the greedy EU forced the Cotonou Agreement in 2000 with reciprocity of trade preferences called Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs). ACP countries who enter into EPAs are supposed to set up a free trade area (FTA). This means that they would have to open up their domestic markets for almost all products from the EU within a twelve-year period, starting from 2008. The Cotonou Agreement was left to ACP countries to decide on the geographical configuration of future EPAs because EU was not willing to negotiate bilateral FTAs with the big bloc, ie ACP, but rather individual regional blocs such as ECOWAS. ACP countries which don’t want to partake have no other choice but to export under the EU’s scheme of the Generalised System of Preferences (EU’s GSP).
With EPAs, West African countries will be affected by opening up their domestic markets for almost all products from the EU. While there is little doubt that West African countries would benefit from improved or more secured access to EU markets, it is not clear whether it is in the interest of West African countries to eliminate customs duties for almost all EU products until 2020. Looking at the trend of low industrialization of Ghana and ECOWAS, it’s suicidal if Ghana signs this agreement. The benefit on the large scale is insignificant and I would not advice our government to accept neocolonialism and unjust world economic order EU is roaming down our throat.
Ghanaian people must be educated about the disadvantage rather than threatening the government with treasonable sentiments.

Thank you Mr. Addo for the detailed explanation. I admire your attention to detail. However, we both seem to agree that signing such an agreement would be to our detriment in the long-term. Several Concerned Bodies in Ghana have tried to explain the negative consequences of signing such an agreement to members of our government but NONE OF THEM seems to be LISTENING. This is why I sympathize with Dr. Percy's frustration with our government and his threat to remove it prematurely. We all know what 'signatures' under written agreements mean to "people of the developed world" - once you sign, you are damned to respect the contract (good or bad) and that is the fear we all have. It will be too late for the next government to cancel or re-negotiate any changes. I in no way support a removal by the military, rather through a revolt by the people of this country against leaders who will not listen to us or protect our interest. It is "treason/treasonable" only if the military removes a constitutionally elected government from power, not when citizens of the country claim the streets and demand the resignation of the government in a bloodless revolt. Thanks for the discussion. Mensah-Bonsu

Dr Mensah Bonsu, your question about why it has taken so long is relevant but only to a small extent. The EPA is to replace the Cotonou Agreement which is the legal framework that governs relations between the EU and ACP(African Caribbean and Pacific) countries. Since 1975 the original agreement has been reviewed periodically to take care of new realities in economic conditions. In the Agreement the two Parties undertake to do certain things, (for example, EU undertakes to provide funds for capacity building in agric extension or mining in exchange for cheap supply of primary resources from ACP countries for a period of five years. Also both sides commit to certain principles such as democracy, human rights etc. However, for some reason Acp countries are unable to meet their end of the bargain and they find themselves in a weaker position when it is time to review the Agreement. The reasons include political instability, wars, conflicts, bad governance, mismanagement, corruption, incompetence and lack of negotiation capacity. Successive governments have taken EU funds and gone to sleep on using those funds to strengthen our position for the next round of negotiations that is why we keep coming out worse off.
NGOs sound the warning bells but who listens to them. Opposition politicians exploit the public outcry over these Agreements only to do nothing once they are in Office. Truth be told, they don't even listen to the technocrats, choosing the path of political expediency over strategic development. Trust me, ghana will sign the EPA, partly because the consequences of not signing will be econmically (and politcally) disastrous in the short to medium term and partly because our leaders don't have the stomach to take up such a big fight.
The EU may be unfair but they get away with it because our governments are corrupt and lack vision. as for the call for revolution/coup...we might want to clean our house starting with corruption and mismanagement of public funds

Mr Kwame Addo must recognize that the EU is practising protectionism through its subsidies which come in subtle shapes and forms.The signing of the EPA will mean integrating west Africa into the world economy.Lets not forget that it was Adam smith whose theory on the division of labour had come to mean that Africa is the hewers of the land and Europe and America are the manufacturing base.How long can we continue with such arrangements which is certainly inimical to our interest.

America who initiated this policy during the time of Nixon had only meant the EPA as a protection to Human life and the environment.But with time,it is taking a different shape to mean a comprehensive trade agreement.What is the WTO there for.More importantly we realize that this treaties are being abused by the west.If the aim and objective is to integrate our economy into the controlled world economy of the west,then then we better forget it.

Recent experience will tell us that they use their dominant influence to to sabotage any country who does not conform to their values and interest through economic sanctions and seizing of assets deposited in the international economy.Even Russia is now a victim of such unbridled power,what more Africa.

The west wants to get back to their leadership role in manufacturing which has been taken over by China and they want to use African resources and minerals to achieve their ends. We are weak and divided and therefore not coming from the same strength in our negotiating platforms so we must be careful because it means inequality in our bargaining power.

I will however disagree with Percy that the answer to stopping the government from entering into such treaty is through violence.

Please let us not rush to make irrelevant arguments when we do not have the whole facts about the EPA. The United States of America has such trade agreements with Canada and Mexico. It is about to enter into another agreement with South Korea. Do we know the benefits of the NAFTA agreement to both Canada and Mexico? Furthermore, I do not think our Leaders will enter into any agreement without taking the supreme interest of the nation at heart. In the first place, what can we produce to sell to the Europeans that will balance the equation? We need their technology to advance. Check it out! Even the advanced countries need each other to make it better for them. Let's SHUT UP and study the Agreement before making noise. People are talking about exploitation by the West. Any exploitation that leads to our country having a better future is better than corruption. How much are we getting from our raw materials and the oil? Their knowledge and technology decides. SHUT UP! and stop disturbing my ears! Corruption in the country is an EXPLOITATION. If you do not know learn from today. Do you accept the few privileged officials looting the coffers of the country to the West entering into agreement that will ultimately advance our country? Give me a break! AN EXPLOITING WEST IS BETTER TO ME THAN A CORRUPT PUBLIC OFFICER. Why are we sinking when the West is advancing? NO WATER, NO POWER, POOR ROADS, NO DRUGS IN HOSPITALS. Everything has collapsed. When the West left the country after 'freedom' what is the difference? Are we better off or worse off? It is better to co-operate with them to help us than to pretend to be wise and remain down under. We need them more than they need us. Let them exploit us to develop our country for us. Our national leaders cannot be trusted either. TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, I WILL TRUST A WHITE MAN MORE THAN ANY of OUR LEADERS.
WHAT IS THE USE OF THE TUC to the average worker in the country. On numerous occasions they compromise with the government against the very people they are supposed to protect. Let us know the facts, again. Was the ACP agreement with Europe a good one for us! By the way, I support any trade and economic agreement that will advance this country to a better development.

The irony of EU banditry in the Ukraine is that they are now forcing the thugs they put in power there to arrest the criminal hounds they used to overthrow a constitutional elected government.

I have realized that Ghanaians never think carefully of what they are about to do or are doing and it lands the country into trouble. If we were good thinkers, we could deduce from J.J. Rawlings' initial discomfort about voting for Prez Mahama. Majority only condemned or criticized "Papa J" who is a grandfather to Prez Mahama and moreover, a statesman. I implore on everyone to be a thinker and encourage one another to find better ways of reviving the thriving country.

Can Dr. Percy list a time or era in the 50+ year history of Ghana where the nation was not under the thumb of an imperial master? Ex-president Kufour whom most of the majority ignorant fellow Ghanaians here at home and in the Diaspora see and praise as a demy-god resided over an administration where everything Ghana owned (from land and mineral resources from oil to Ghana's telecommunications infrastructure or Ghana airways assets) were sold piece by piece to our colonial masters even as our entire economy was surrendered to international organizations for monitoring and supervision. Did Ghana not hire a London based legal team to represent Ghana in the Discoverer 911 oil drillship sale saga even while a whole lot of good for nothing Ghanaians beat their chest claiming to be lawyers? Tribal folly has ailed Ghana prior to independence and continues today because of educated but non-thinking individuals who cannot allow common sense to prevail for the fear that the masses might catch on to the bait and switch politics of the NPP and NDC and never vote for either party again.
Tell us the lower class Ghanaians, Dr. Percy where all the foreign aid and donor money come from? Do they come from Ghanaians in the Diaspora like the EO group that extract an exact percentage of oil revenues as the Ghanaian government or does it come from Kufour’s shares in Accra Mall? Dr Percy and other classroom educated Ghanaians should allow common sense to prevail rather than the greater harm and disservice they do to Ghana. As Ghanaians, we chose not to be truly independent and or never got to understand the strength that comes with a united Africa and or individual African nations capable of standing on their own respective feet. We do appreciated the unity of nations of north American nations and the alliances between EU nations but we got our wish with the overthrow of Nkrumah and must now enjoy the chaos we did not see coming which only goes to support the truth that most in Ghana's opposition political parties lack ideas, ideals and foresight but full of tribal gutter politics. The harm has been done to Ghana because of actions by the NPP and NDC. Ghana has no pot to piss in and we darn sure have nothing of tangible assets, natural and or mineral resources to use as collateral for development money. So while Dr. Percy and others may not like it, our hands had been tied for the foolishness of Ghana's educated few and the politically connected that have had the hand in ruling governments past and present. UK and Ireland’s Vodafone currently own Ghana’s entire telecommunications infrastructure and we consult UK legal minds on legal issues as well as look to their system of governance as our measuring yardstick so what difference does it make if we finally admit to being puppets on a string for far too long. Did Nana Akufo-Addo not go to the UK to take a rest just as others do when Ghana’s is too hot to handle?

The problem with our present west african leaders is that they do not know the reasons behind african countries fighting for independence from our colonial masters who were only interested in dehumanizing africans and exploiting our resources for almost nothing.I am totally against EPAS which when signed will destroy west african economies and create unemployment and deepen poverty in Ghana.It will be a stab in the back of our late leaders who fought to get control over the economies of their countries.It appears our present west african leaders are simply neo-colonists.They are just yes,yes stooges of those nations and economic blocks using every subtle means to control the economies of poor and developing nations.

What Dr. David Percy is alluding to about "sovereign people of Ghana" is perfectly right.
Ghana as an individual, lone country in Africa cannot deal effectively with EU. The EPA agreement, if signed, will pitch a unified European markets against the lone market of Ghana, with cheap raw materials that we have failed to add value to.

If between now and October, ECOWAS is able to speak with one voice on this issue, then and only then should we signed the EPA.

All this means that Dr. Kwame Nkrumah was right "Africa Must Unite" to face the world - be it EU, US, China, Russia or India.

The ruling Government together with the opposition in the Ghanaian Parliament should debate on this "EPA's", and its pro and contra. Besides in such debates it is better the parliament invites the general public to participate in such discussions to have in insight and further the general public should have the chance of expressing their views all in the interest of our dear nation Ghana.

Now with or without this EPAs until we change our ideologies and mentalities in how our country should be ruled and handled we will never make a progress. Ghana is still at a stand-still after over 50 years of independence. Ghana is a problem child since our presidents after Kwame Nkrumah didn't use their brains that much. People can praise or hate Kwame nkrumah, but having followed history I prefer Nkrumah to all other ghanaian presidents, then Nkrumah had a political plan and had it not been for his untimely overthrow he would have brought ghana that far.
WHAT A SHAME, WE ARE RUINING HIS LEGACIES..! When is Ghana to expect another KWAME NKRUMAH.

The EPA and the acceptance of growing GM crops on our lands are all part of the ploy by the West to keep us under bondage.

Their collaborators are not only that of this administration, they are also in the NPP and others who occupy sensitive trade/agric positions in Ghana.

I have always reiterated the fact that, these same lot's ancestors sold us into slavery and will never rest till they help the colonialists hatch up another ploy to economically colonize us.

If the EPA makes sense to any African - let alone Ghanaians.......then I can now understand why we are where we are now. The AFROPEANS in our midst, are so determined to keep us in bondage with their colonialists collaborators to keep the masses poor and then gain by enriching themselves.

It's sheer naivety to think Ghana is somehow insulated from all of these.

THE HISTORY OF OVERTHROWING THE ELECTED GOVERNMENT HAS NOT BENEFITTED GHANA ONE BIT.THE WORLD BANK/IMF PACKAGE OF ECONOMIC REFORMS WHICH DR LIMANN'S ADMINISTRATION REJECTED WAS SWALLOWED LINE. HOOK AND SINKER BY RAWLINGS' PNDC. IF MAHAMA DOES NOT ACCEPT THE EPAs, MAHAMA WILL BE OVERTHROWN ANYWAY AND REPLACED BY ONE WHO WILL. THE WAY OUT IS MASS EDUCATION WILL DOES NOT EXIST IN GHANA.

Mass education, linking up with the rest of Africa to fight the EU is the right way. To speak of the overthrowing of the Mahama government is silly, and infantile to say the lest.
How sure are we that the next government, unelected would not sign the trade agreement with the un democratic EU? The political parties, civil society, traditional rulers, youth organisation, NUGS, AASU, trade unions etc must say no to coups. How can Percy, who is a leading member of the Reform Party speak of overthrowing an elected government?

How on earth can anyone respect Ghanaian intellectual like so called Dr. Percy with such shameful rhetoric of overthrowing Prez.Mahama and NDC government signing EPAs.Having read the interview and his answers I wonder where he studied and was awarded the doctorate degree.How can anybody who has sat on desk and studied even to elementary level can answer the questions of the interview without giveing reasons of his objectiong against signingthe EPAs with the large economic union of Europe. Now we live in the global world consisting European Union,United States of America,China,Russia Federation,Latin America and the Asian country so if Ghana does not sign trade agreement with these big markets where are we going to sell our goods and trade.As our late President tried hard to form African Unity even before the formation of European union without success like people like you and your so called NPP.Why didn't you overthrew the Kufuor and the NPP government when they sold the Ghana Airways which existed for more than forty-five years and competing the foreign airlines on fares and safe operations for these years.why didn't you overthrow the Kufuor and his NPP government for selling the Ghana telecom and shared the money making their families rich?. Now Dr.Percy please learn to speak with substance next time with sensible economic contributions.At least President Mahama and our late Prez.Attah-Mills completed all the uncompleted infra-structures,highways and fly-overs in the cities without selling any national assetts of the country.A word to wise is enough and please remember "A book knowledge without good character means nothing to humanity " and it is exactly what you are trying to do to Ghanaians by inciting them to overthrowthe good government who care for the nation's well being and future unlike your so-called lawyers or documents scholars as well as bogus doctors. Long live Ghana Long live President Mahama and NDC government.You are inciting for coup which could end many corrupted politicians both present and past killed as before.Again a word to a wise is enough.

I perfectly agree with Dr Percy. I have been saying this for a very long time now.
The problem with Africa and in particular Ghana is that many of us are docile and blind to our foolishness.I have settle down to illiteracy and ignorance.
The sovereignty of Ghana lies with the people but few people understand this powerful statement granted to us.
The curren president is really a disappointment and for me I dont want to say anything more now. I want time to address this government and the party which supported him.
Many people have forgotten about our input to the election which has given the mandate to the NDC to rule this country. Very soon I will do what I did in the years 2000, 2008 and 2012 before we can be taken serious.
It is ridiculous to listen some individuals claiming they have what it takes to win elections.I have the key and it is my special gift from the almighty God.
The whole of Ghana need to understand the point being raised by Dr Percy.

What do we as(Ghanaians)stand to gain from this slavery document?. This is to my brother President Mahama "what you do in this World is a matter of no consequence, the question is what can you make people think you have done". But father Kwame Nkrumah will not be happy in his grave if you tempestuously sign this agreement in modern day World. Such a thing will bring an upholstered sense of feeling amongst Ghanaians. Mr. President, you may miscast yourself by not explaining to Ghanaians why you should this slavery document. Ghanaians have the right to know why you should or shouldn't sign this document. This, I think will stop the masquerading Ghanaians such as this PhD man here whom I think is a oratorical failure.
With all your book knowledge, you parade yourself on the violent front of political issues. Doc, can you look at yourself and say that, I am a man of purpose with this kind of language. You spoke and allowed your unblemished gusto diminished your purpose doc. You went skulking at the radio stations with your imperfection behavior thinking that will galvanize and blotched support for sacrosanct preaching. Your preaching for violent had desiccated the purpose of this article.

A lot of people may not understand u cos they do not understand the theory of social contract. From Egypt to ukraine now, what is happening. Don't attack the man. Let us be circumspect at least for once, there is already so much hardship in the system and any piece of shit can cause this dear nation a lot. Teachers and others work and it takes the government more than a yr to pay them, corruption everywhere, dum sor dum sor at the apex as a result people are losing their jobs, bushit rationalisation in the G.E.S , KATH bullshit saga, poor delivery of health as a result of descriminate capitation frequent fuel increase . Fix the system and stop criticizing innocent statemen. THE PRESIDENCY IS FULL OF ONLY THOSE WHO CAN TALK BUT NO VACANCY FOR THE PROMBLEM SOLVERS. I PRAY THAT NOTHING BAD HAPPENS TO GHANA. BUT THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD ALSO TRY TO FIX THE HARDSHIP SITUATION IN THE COUNTRY AND STOP COMPLAING THERE IS NO MONEY THERE IS NO MONEY TALKING. START MAKING MONEY RIGHT HERE IN THE COUNTRY AND STOP BORROWING. BECOS THOSE WE BORROW FROM DID NOT EVEN PAY HALF OF WHAT WE ARE PAYING AS APPERARANCE FEE TO THEIR PLAYERS. MEANWHILE A LOT OF COMMUNITIES DO NOT EVEN HAVE DRINKING WATER. START THINKING AND STOP ALLOWING URSELF TO BE MANIPULATED BY THE WHITES.

Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) are legally binding bilateral contracts between the European Union and individual African countries. Once signed, EPAs warrant that within a decade, about 80% of that country’s market should open to European goods and services.

To their credit and through commendable negotiation dexterity, negotiators from various African countries have managed to exclude a number of subsidized agricultural products and sensitive industries from the negative elements of EPA stipulated market liberalization.

But this is as much a pyrrhic victory as any, since prematurely opening markets translates into African agricultural and non-agricultural production finding it very difficult to compete with the most likely cheaper, perhaps better quality and even larger supply of goods and services from European countries.
