    But one cedi is enough to rehabilitate your mother's ebola infested virginals. All Asante/Akan were sired by northerners and the Moshie from Burkina Faso.

  • Mahama is Corrupt, Clueless, Stupid 9 years ago

    This project is politically motivated. NDC lost Komenda during the 2012 elections. The project is designed to prepare the way for the Minister of Education, a native of Komenda, to stand as as MP during the 2016 elections.

    In as much as I do not disagree with the possibility of this project being unsuccessful, you were only able to deduce your conclusion from the fact that it is a failure stigma for all past and present Ghanaian governments.

  • Familyman-Saskatchewan 9 years ago

    there is no way the komenda sugar factory can be revived with 36 million. Mahama should not fool ghanaians and the people in KEEA in particular. 36 million cannot get the factory up and running. The irrigation project to prov ...

    Where there is a will, there will be the means to succeed. The IMANI must stop their usual nonsensical criticisms and provide solutions for once. Where did we find money for the the misguided Ghana@50 and the jubilee presiden ...

    Esther Ocloo started her inustry with 3 pesewas or is it 6 pesewas? And a think tank who should come out with how big industries can start with small monies is rather saying this? God help Ghana.

  • Judgement Day 9 years ago

    IMANI has nothing new except to latch on anything that is tabled for development. Let's see them conceiving a project and carrying it through to the end. Whether they like it or not Komenda will rise again.

    You see Mahama is not thinking. He follows his heart and not head. He in fact is a waste of time. nothing he touches works.Nonsense.

  • Patroit 9 years ago

    Every journey begins with a step. Why does IMMANI oppose reactivation of our factories? Is it because this would prevent NPP from coming to power. Selfish Cudjoe would shoe a little bit of patriotism.
