"The good citizen must be one who does not allow an elected Government, even if it be of his political party of choice, to take his nation for an avoidable experimentation that would affect good democratic governance and good human capital development through commission or omission or sheer incompetence. Ghana and an NDC Government have fought the menace of drug trafficking and other serious crimes before and can do so again with appropriate commitment from patriotic and visionary leadership."

Mr. Sydney Casely-Hayford, could you remember that Nkrumah used to incite workers to strike against the Whiteman, but outlawed strikes in his regime when living conditions were genuinely difficult for workers, and said that strikes were unpatriotic?

Could you also remember that Rawlings used to incite TUC workers to strike against Liman's government in order to over throw it fraudulently? And could you remember that he used to take 'Kenkey' to Legon to demonstrate how the size had shrunk under Liman, and we ended up in the "Rawlings's Chain" but nobody could talk? Could you further remember that Acheampong and Rawlings used the mild IMF conditions under Busia and Liman respectively as justifications for overthrowing their governments deceitfully? Could you still remember that PNDC reintroduced IMF and the World Bank with more stringent conditions after the coup without apologizing to Liman?

I don't know what the leftists are talking about, and I don't believe that NPP is behind the present wave of strikes either. As far as I know, NPP is only highlighting the failings and excesses of the government, hopping to translate them into votes for the party in the next elections. And that is, in fact, genuine and legitimate politics because the failings are true and not false. Everybody in Ghana knows that cost of living under the NDC government is unbearable, and NPP is democratically seizing the opportunity to convince the electorate not to vote for NDC in the next elections.

Frankly, I don't see anything wrong with an opposition highlighting the failings of an incapable government to wrestle power from it democratically. NDC is the cause of the strikes because of higher levels of corruption, over spending, reckless borrowing and economic mismanagement that have brought untold hardship on Ghanaians.

It is only NDC bunch of criminals see
it but the rest of the majority people of this nation has no eyes to see. Swine like you.

Aren't you ashamed to see NDC crooks headed by the most corrupt, thief and brigand Mahama ordered a Diplomatic Passport to be issued for a cocaine
trafficker and to use the VVIP lounge at the Kotoka Int. Airport escorted by
NDC Head of Security to carry 12 and half kilos of cocaine unto the Aircraft only to be arrested at the H/Airport in London?

Is this not a disgrace to our nation,
the puppet Government of Dramani Mahama, the corrupt Mahama who call himself President? President do nothing.

When this lady was arrested, NDC bunch of criminals went ahead to say that the lady was not carrying a Diplomatic passport but instead an Austrian Passport, if it so why should the NDC
High Commissioner in London gathers some nerves to go and visit the lady in her prison cells and even went ahead to take a group picture with the NDC cocaine carrier, why not the Austrian High Commissioner to go to the prison to visit the cocaine carrier, but Ghana High commissioner?

Is this lady the only person arrested
with cocaine in London and what is
the important and what makes it so paramount to attract the Ghana High Commissioner Victor Smith to go to the Prison to visit her by himself?

Did he go to the Prison to promise her
not to mention names, and if she is
in fact an Austrian lady as claimed by Sam George, the NDC Deputy Communication Director, what makes it
so much important to attract Victor Smith to go to the Prison to visit this so-called Austrian lady? Stupid fool like you. Fuck off I beg. ANUMGUASE FO ABAN!!!!!

Because you have been paid to do this, you think you are important. Politicians do politics with fools like you. They will continue to use you for their wealth. Look at yourself if Kuffour's son who never worked, went bankrupt in the US but bought a 5-star hotel in Ghana is better than you. Did you benefit from the drill ship sales where Akuffo Addo and co. shared the profit. Call people swine and you will be called bastard. If fools like you can propagate that the lady in question was traveling with diplomatic passport, the government has to visit find out how she got it. Use your head instead of stomach. It's very unfortunate you were born on the streets in Accra so you have no hometown. Ask every normal person. If anybody is arrested and people speculate the person is from royal family, the king or the chief will sent one of his elders to go and find out whose child is it. NPP and its useless bunch of intelligent criminals will cause a problem and then behave as idiots who do not understand anything. Be smart, not a fool. You are jealous of the president. No family member of yours can even become a simple Assembly-member let alone MP. I know you are only using this pseudonym but you are an Ashanti so you jealous hate a Northerner as a president. If your president is corrupt and useless, then who are you? How ignorant and a fool. Bastard, you don't have a father so you hate men. Sorry, blame your mother not the president you hate. Fool

WHILE THE ACC GENERAL PAYS WORKERS OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH WORKERS, OWNERS OF PRIVATE HEALTH FACILITIES CAN'T AND ARE FOLDING UP. SERIOUSLY, ALL PRIVATE HEALTH SERVICE PROVIDERS MUST MEET TO ANNOUNCE THE OBITUARY OF THE NHIS AND START 'CASH AND CARRY' IF THEY DON'T WANT THIS PROPAGANDA-INFESTED NDC GOVT TO COLLAPSE THEIR BUSINESSES. AFTER ALL THE KNUST HOSPITAL AND PRESTEA GOVT HOSPITAL HAVE STARTED 'CASH AND CARRY.' THE SATANAIC NDC WILL,OF COURSE, NEVER ANNOUNCE THE OBITUARY OF NHIS LEST THEY LOSE THE 2016 ELECTIONS BUT IN SO DOING OUR HEALTH SECTOR IS GRINDING TO A HALT. START 'CASH AND CARRY' NOW !!!!!!!!!!

How much do NDC pay you from that NDC cocaine carrier Ruby Ametefe to encourage the NDC bunch of criminals, serving an NDC political organisation instead of serving your country?

Stupid fool, yes when President Kuffour was administering our nation,
there was no "DUMSO, DUMSO", my children can get free school meals,
I can pay my children school fees,
pregnant women get free medical attention, NH Insurance was very effective, corruption and thievery were not rampant as we see under this your NDC bunch of criminals, Black star football team get their reward
as it should be after their match and no Sorts Minister goes to any Commission of Inquiry to cry like a baby because of his dubious activities, stupid cow like you, under
Kuffour NPP administration, our economy was vibrant, there were wagter to drink, Doctors were paid, Teachers were paid, businesses were booming,
monkey like you do you see such happening under this NDC puppet administration? Why are you so stupid
and brigand? Let your NDC crooks use you for their own selfish interest, because you are a fool and you will continue to be a fool, as what is happening in our country, if the nation is being administered by NPP politicians, will you clap for them as you want civilized people to clap for
this clueless administration of NDC?
Stupid cow. Better fuck off.

The same projects have been included in the budget for the last 6 years. Where new items have come in, it's been based on the same theme. ie tax increase. Whilst a budget is supposed to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, this one attempts to do that in the most uninspiring manner. The government should increase taxes by increasing the size of gdp but you can't achieve this by starving industry of investment funds by increasing the cost of energy. The fact remains government is not good managing the funds under its control. Even pension funds are being abused. Employment and income generation projects are not being undertaken. To take more money from the private sector into government custody and mismanaging it is not a route we should be taking. Private enterprise was ignored. False and ineffective schemes like YES have not worked because of corruption. Like casely hayford said, this document lacks vision

If Sydney can see that the Government will raise revenue, then what does he not see? The revenue has always been the problem, so if the budget can raise it then the problem is solved, the Government can then stop borrowing. The problem with consultants like Sydney is that they live in their world devoid of reality. By the way who is the man on the street? Is he? Criticism without alternatives is useless.

Shameful people.Your wickedness will win elections. You are all over the place in the public and the civil service and actively sabotaging the government. This is absolutely nonsense, that, there is no reason for you to allow the current government to implement its policies for the betterment of Ghanaians because NPP is in opposition. Unfortunately they would there for a long time. You Casely Hayford, what do you know? Are you trying to say that you could do better? You speak like a JSS student and you think you know. Bullshit

Look at how foolish you have become, contradicting yourself because of bribe that you have taken. "even there were some good things in the budget, I don't have anything positive in the budget". Is this fool going insane or what? It is very unfortunate NPP has made a lot of people we once admired become fools in the country. Ghana is for all not only NPP. One day a revolt will cause people to commit heinous crime by killing people like your type among rational people. Stomach politicians. Your empty noise will never make NPP to win election.

Jack where are you? Transformational government would never desist, squeezing blood from fleshless bones of the masses to nourish. Ask P.W. Botha (1916-2006), how many taxes he extracted from the segregates blacks to develop infrastructure South Africa. Using cheap black human race labour, with their learnt lecture-room theories of his race on atom of water and the earth; together, they developed the infrastructures of South Africa. Blackman, without developing the input, you cannot have an output! The infrastructure of Ghana is latent in the land and sea atom; waiting to be transformed by those educated intellectuals in imported V8 4WDrives automobiles, parroting accentuated queen’s tongue without the tangibles.

If they think Ghanaians are fools to follow them wreck the nation through their demonstrations then they must think twice. Power is won only through ballot box and not coup through demonstrations.

Casely-Hayford, another self-imposed 'know it all' just like Kweku Baako. Interesting enough, this insignificant know it all does not know that a Budget in its meaning is just a statement of intent, a proposal to forecast or project the future based on past performances and trends. Casely-Hayford should tell us any economic prediction which tend out to be totally accurate, correct or true. Predictions by IMF, World acclaimed Financial/Economic organisations Institutions or establishment never ever got any predictions right anyway. The reasons are e.g change in political climate including the decision makers, population change, trend in consumer and economic demand/supply, factors in production, weather and climate especially, in the agricultural economic sectors, social changes e.g health, education, cultural trend. Casely- Hayford should realise that budgets ar just guide and most of the time you need the right people, the cooperation and education of the people and the right atmosphere to implement a near successful program.
