They are a hopeless useless bunch.
How can people who are supposed to protect our interest be endorsing EPA and GMO plus they intend approving the gay rights bill in Ghana.

This shows how a curse Dramani Mahama and his bunch of NDC criminals are such a curses to our nation, anything tackling by Mahama and his NDC turns out to a flop and destroyed and even what
has been stabilized goes to rotten.

This should be a lesson to the majority and every patriotic citizenry
of our nation so that come 2016, they
are no longer in our political platform.

I am sad the place was not burnt down. That is the citadel of corruption in the country. They make useless laws and others that cannot be enforced. How long did Papa Jerry rule without any Parliament? Do we even need them. They are milking the country. How much do we spend on our useless MPs a year. We even have to pay for their rent,fat ESBs, cars and all that nonsense. They should have all have received 3rd degree burns for them to realize how Kofi Brokeman is also suffering.

Watch your grammar, Ghana journalists. You can't get tenses right? 1. "...as they 'rush' to grab anything that they could lay their hands on..."

Watch your grammar, Ghana journalists. You can't get tenses right? 1. "...as they 'rush' to grab anything that they could lay their hands on..."
2. "They then 'rush' down and started moving their cars away".
3. "At the time of the 'incidence', all Members of Parliament(MPs)..." Numbers (1) and (2) are cases of wrong tenses, which must be "rushed". Number (3) should be "incident".

About two weeks ago, my bed almost caught fire while I was sleeping; I was lucky to have promptly woken up and put off the fire. As an engineer, I did a thorough check of the cause of the fire - it was as a result of charging my radio which contained Lithium-ion batteries.
The batteries in your phone, radio, laptop, tablet and other portable devices have lightweight Li-ion batteries, which need to be charged regularly. Li-ion batteries can be dangerous under some conditions; unlike other rechargeable batteries, they have a potentially hazardous pressurized flammable electrolyte, and require strict quality control during manufacture. Faulty chargers can be dangerous; as well, if the battery's protection circuit fails, fires can result. If that charge controller fails, the device can even result in an explosion, but you would probably notice a smell, and unplug your device before it actually detonates.
While the fires are often serious, it may be catastrophically so. In about 2010 large lithium-ion batteries were introduced in place of other supplies to power systems on some aircraft; as of January 2014 there had been at least four serious lithium-ion battery fires, or smoke, on the Boeing 787- The Dream-liner passenger aircraft, introduced in 2011, which did not cause crashes but had the potential to do so.
I reported my findings to the Ghana Fire Service (Ashaiman Branch), as these may be pointers to some of our recent fires - but not much public education have ensued on charging devices safely. My recommendation is that you must charge devices while you are around, and certainly not on flammable surfaces. Tel. 0249853691
Google U-tube sites to see videos of burning Li-ion based batteries
