Ghana lacks ‘thinking people’ – Majority Leader
General News of Tuesday, 17 September 2013
Source: citifmonline

The Majority Leader in Parliament, Dr. Benjamin Kumbour, has stated that the biggest problem facing Ghana is the lack of ‘thinking people’ in political leadership. According to him, Ghana’s economy is affected by the lack of initiative from people appointed into political leadership positions.

"In this country, we spend so much time paying people to talk; we don’t pay people to think, this is what is the problem of this country.’’

"All the matured democracies and industrialised countries you’ve seen, they have always found time to pay people to think and not just to talk," said Dr. Kumbuor in an interview with Citi FM's Richard Dela Sky.

According to the Member of Parliament for Nandom, a neighbouring country like Burkina Faso is getting it right with investment in agriculture than Ghana is: "because people are thinking about the future of Burkina; people are thinking and interpreting their environment and finding answers to the challenges of their environment.’’

But the contrary he said, is happening in Ghana because "we just do not want to perfect our institutions and structures to reflect changing demands"

Dr. Kumbour said the people of Burkina Faso do not spend time shouting about their achievements, but rather are engaged in finding solutions to their problems and that the evidence is there for all to see.

He warned that if Ghana's political leadership do not have a change in attitude towards problem solving, then "every problem that is known and has been solved in some country will always come to us as a new problem."

The Majority leader also expressed worry over the situation in Ghana where people who insult are the most glorified. "…Who do we glorify; those who can insult each other on the radio in the morning, those who can publish a lot of things that destroys people’s lives forever; those are the ones who are the champions in Ghana."

Dr. Kumbour said the media could not be blamed for the kind of stories in circulation.

"It is not the media; we [politicians] send the stories to them and so if they decide to embellish it according to their editorial policy, you can’t blame them…," he stated.

He urged politicians to devote time to dealing with issues that impact the lives of Ghanaians positively."Let us get our priorities right; let us [Politicians and Leaders] put and devote our time to the core issues," he added.

AUTHOR: THIEF MAHAMA--------
Bad leadership in Ghana was started by Nkrumah. In fact all our problems started with him. Nkrumah was a dictator and very ambitious. He introduced one party rule in Ghana and made himself life president. He was neither caring, compassionate, visionary, smart nor politically savvy. Most of the things he took credit for had been started by the British, our colonial masters. For instance Tema Motorway was on the drawing board when he took over and Akosombo Dam was not his brainchild. KNUST was established by Asantehene and the British. Surprisingly, most of the things he takes credit for were never initiated by him

Independence, for instance, was sought for by many and achieved under the aegis and cunningness of Kofi Nwiah, trickster and schemer extraordinaire. Well, all along I have been asking how and under what circumstances "Francis Kofi Nwiah" was able to change his name to "Kwame Nkrumah". I know that it is permissible for anybody to change his name anytime he or she wishes but it is strange and beyond comprehension for one to change his birthday from Friday to Saturday ie from Kofi to Kwame. This is what makes me suspicious of Kofi Nwiah or Kwame Nkrumah. He claimed that his date of birth was 21st September 1909. This day according to the 20th century Calendar was a Tuesday!!! So was Nkrumah born on a Tuesday, a Friday or a Saturday? We must find out what he was up to with all these very strange findings. He was indeed cunning and only preyed on the emotions of the Ghanaian masses. It was my wish that president Mills would set up a committee to investigate before declaring Nkrumah's "unknown" birthday a holiday.

When he took over we had trade surplus running into millions of Pound Sterling but when he was forced out we had a trade deficit of several million pounds sterling!! This was the result of bad governance. He should have been overthrown earlier than 1966. We all saw good governance under K4. To me K4 is the best president Ghana has ever had. Kuffour is the greatest. We thank Kotoka and Afrifa for stoping the dictator in his tracks. Ayekoo Kotoka and Afrifa. Kotoka AirPort should never be renamed.

AUTHOR: SEE BELOW----------------------------
It would be recalled that before Election 2000, the Rawlings's P/NDC had ruled Ghana for 19 solid years. This era, as we all know, was marked by human rights abuses, tribalism, corruption, economic hardship, cash and carry system, and more seriously, serial killings of women.

What then did President John Agyekum Kufuor and his NPP do with the power given him between 2001 and 2009? This write-up seeks to find the answer under social infrastructure, policies & programmes, and good governance.

ON SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE • Kufuor's tenure witnessed the construction of two new sports stadia at Essipong and Tamale; the rehabilitation of both Accra and Kumasi sports stadia, and another sports complex in Cape Coast.

• Under Kufuor, a new Presidential Palace was built to house the president and his family; the Accra-Tema commuter railway line was constructed, and the Keta Sea Defence wall was built to protect the people of Keta.

• A $622m loan was secured for the construction of the Bui Dam & Bui City Project; the Boankra Inland Port was started (now abandoned); major feeder and trunk roads (Accra-Kumasi-Aflao-Kasoa-Cape Coast, Aburi), several by-passes in Accra and Kumasi including the Sofoline and Asafo interchange, and George Walker Bush 14km High Way were all constructed.

• The Peduase Lodge, which had been abandoned was restored; several boreholes were drilled to end the perennial water problems in Cape Coast and Tamale; the Aboadze Thermal Plant was expanded; the Kofi Annan ICT Centre for Excellence, and state-of-the art wood village at Sokoban in Kumasi for Anloga carpenters were all built.

• Another legacy of Kufuor is the construction of the Accident and Emergency Centre with a landing base at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH). This has saved several precious lives.

• Besides, 56 existing senior high schools were upgraded as Model Schools; two institutions (University of Education, Winneba, and University of Mines & Technology) were given autonomy to run as public universities, UDS had Campuses at Wa and Bolgatanga, 21 new senior high schools, 1,334 new JHS blocks, 1,331 primary schools, and 5,164 pre-schools were built.

• Also, over 5,000 affordable housing units at various parts of the country were built. A cocoa processing plant was built in Kumasi. The West African Gas Pipe Line was nearly completed. There was expansion of the road network from 39,000 km of accessible roads to 65,000 km by 2008.

• The Ghana @ 50 ‘legacy’ projects like recreational parks, renovation of public buildings, and historical monuments across all the 10 regions and their district capitals were built. The government also built 14 fishing harbours in our fishing communities.

ON POLICIES & PROGRAMMES • The Kufuor government introduced free basic education through the capitation grant (fee- free). There was school feeding programme where pupils from some selected public basic schools were given one hot meal a day.

• The National Health Insurance Scheme was introduced to replace the cash and carry system and make health care affordable. There was also the introduction of free maternal care to reduce child mortality.

• The government frequently released brand new buses to GPRTU, and introduced the metro mass transit, replaced the Ghana Airways with Ghana International Airlines (all meant to improve the transportation system.

• The NPP introduced the Northern Development Fund with a US$25m seed fund to reduce the North-South poverty gap; free bus ride for school kids, brought Zoom Lion Company Limited to rid our cities of filth, created Youth Fund with a $50m seed money and instituted the National Youth Employment Programme, which rolled out seven programmes including community police, teaching assistance, health care, agric extension, etc to reduce the country’s high unemployment.

• Kufuor also introduced the mass cocoa spraying exercise, frequently increased the producer price of cocoa; subsidised fertilizer, and made prompt payment of bonuses to cocoa farmers.

• In his quest to mechanise agriculture, the Kufuor government imported 3,331 brand new tractors, but unfortunately, Mahama Ayariga, and Alban Bagbin used their positions in government to buy some at only GHC1,000.

• The annual cocoa yield increased from 350 metric tonnes in 2000 to 750 metric tonnes in 2006 with an income of US$1bn to the economy. By 2010, Ghana had hit 1m cocoa production. This feat alone moved Ghana from the 4th position to the 2nd position in terms of the world’s leading producers of the product.

• The size of the Ghana's economy quadrupled from US$3.9m in 2008 to US$16.3m in 2008, thus ending the year with GDP growth rate of 8.4%.

• Whilst inflation was reduced from 40% in 2000 to 9.8% in 2006 (single digit) and later 18% in 2008, interest rate fell from 50% to 25% during the period under consideration. The daily minimum wage was increased from 42Gp (4,200 old cedis) in 2000 to GHC2.25 (22,500 old cedis) in 2009.

• A New Education Reform was put in place in 2007 with special emphasis on Maths, Science, Vocational and ICT. Kindergarten education officially became part of our basic education system.

• The admission of JHS graduates into SHS was computerised to reduce corruption and hassle of parents; there was Baah-Wiredu Laptop project aimed at giving one laptop to every school child.

• All the 38 Teacher Training Colleges were upgraded into tertiary status (Colleges of Education); Distance education programme was introduced for teachers and workers.

• The government also introduced Untrained Teacher Education Programme for Pupil Teachers to become trained teachers, Access Course to Teacher Training Colleges for SHS graduates who could not do well in Maths and English. The purpose was to upgrade the knowledge of the teacher, beef up the teacher population, and subsequently help to address the falling educational standards in the country.

• Private universities sprung from 4 to over 50, whilst existing infrastructure in the public universities and other public tertiary institutions were expanded through the GETFund.

• The SSNIT Loan Scheme was restructured for students to take more loans. Plans were far advanced to start not only Single Spine Salary Structure for public sector workers, but also a new 3-tier pension scheme for both private and public sector workers.

ON GOOD GOVERNANCE • His Excellency, President J. A. Kufuor tolerated all shades of opinion and verbal abused from ‘Dr.’ Asemfoforo, an NDC paid serial caller, and J. J. Rawlings, who at one time referred to the then sitting President as ‘Ataa Ayi’ - a notorious armed robber.

• Ghanaians witnessed the National Reconciliation; the reburial of three former heads of state namely; Okatakyie Afrifa, Gen. I.K. Acheampong and Gen. F.W.K Akufo and five senior military officers, who were executed in 1979 by J. J. Rawlings.

• In addition, over 100 assets of noble and hard working citizens seized by J.J. Rawlings were deconfiscated to their owners.

• The criminal libel and seditious laws which had provided 10 years’ maximum imprisonment for offenders was repealed. The People’s Assembly concept which made it possible for Ghanaians to interact with the President and his Ministers on yearly basis was instituted.

• There was all-inclusive governance with the likes of Mallam Issah (PNC), Dr. Paa Nduom, Prof. Badu Akosah, Prof. Hagan - all CPP leading members, working under the NPP administration. Kufuor also facilitated the appointments of Dr. Ibn Chambas as the Secretary General of ECOWAS, and Ekwow Spio-Garbrah as Chief Executive Officer of CTO.

• Kufuor created 60 additional districts and raised some of them to municipal & metropolitan status to facilitate local governance. The District Assembly Common Fund was increased from 5% to 7.5%.

• There was a plethora of FM Radio stations, regular media encounters with the President, broadcasting of news in the major local dialects on the Ghana Television (GTV), which hitherto had been in English and Akan.

• The Kufuor government passed the Representation of the People Amendment act (ROPAA) into law to enfranchise Ghanaians in the diaspora, though Afari Gyan failed to make it operational.

• Kufuor should also be commended for the expansion of mobile phone network across the length and breadth of the country as he removed tariffs on mobile phone importation.

• Kufuor created a Ministry for Public Sector Reform with the view to developing a new and positive mindset for public sector workers; Ministry of Women and Children’s Affairs to empower women and improve their lot; and the Ministry of Chieftaincy Affairs to tap the rich expertise of our noble traditional leaders.

• Also, June 4 and the 31st December were removed from the statute books as public holidays. The 64th Infantry Regiment were disbanded to other units to ensure discipline in the Armed Forces.

• Kufuor featured regularly at all G-8 Summits. His excellent diplomatic relations with world leaders enabled Ghana not only to attract attention and investment worldwide, but also he was unanimously elected to chair both the African Union (AU) and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). Under his leadership, Ghana had the opportunity to assume the rotational presidency of the UN Security Council.

• President Kufuor also won several international awards including the Chatham House Prize Award in 2008 as a result of peace and economic growth which characterised his two terms in office. No wonder he was given a rousing welcome by Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II of England.

• Again, President Kufuor took a leading role in mediating in regional conflicts including those in Liberia, La Cote D’Ivoire, Kenya, Sudan, and Zimbabwe.

• As a true democrat, he was even criticised by his own party members and sympathisers for not hanging onto power before the Tain by-elections when the NPP’s Presidential Candidate, Nana Akufo-Addo was leading in the 2008 Presidential elections.

• Kufuor is on record as the only President who left office in the peaceful manner in which he entered it. This is indeed a lasting legacy because all his predecessors were either overthrown by the military or metamorphosed themselves into civilian presidents.

• Kufuor introduced the Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty (LEAP) programme, where the aged and other vulnerable people in Ghana were paid monthly allowances of between 8 and 15 Ghana cedis.

• Under President Kufuor's leadership, Ghana became the first sub-Saharan African country to cut in half the proportion of its people who suffer from hunger. He and LUIZ DA SILVA of Brazil jointly received the 2011 World Food Prize.

• He introduced micro finance loans to help small and medium-scale businesses, the Export Development Fund (EDIF), the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) which makes it possible for local producers to access the US market, as well as, the Ghana Poverty Reduction Programmes I & II were all aimed at improving the lot of Ghanaians.

• The Kufuor-led NPP administration purchased VALCO from the Americans at a cosmic sum of US$20m.

• On corruption, a minister of state under his administration was charged for wilfully causing financial loss to the state and together with other members of the previous government, was sentenced to a prison term.

• Ghana was the first country in Africa to submit herself to the African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM). It would also interest readers to note that for the first time in 50 years, Ghana under the leadership of Kufuor earned a respectable B+ rating on the international financial scene in 2006 and this indeed, facilitated the country’s successful bid to access over US$ 750m from the Eurobond market.

• The passage of the Public Procurement Act, Financial Administration Act, Internal Audit Agency Act, which made the agency exceed its revenue target every year, the Office of Accountability Act, the Whistle Blowers Act, the importation of new police uniforms and over 1000 police vehicles to combat crime, the Right to Information bill, the establishment of Fast Track High Courts, the strengthening of state institutions like the SFO, CHRAJ, among others, were all geared towards the eradication of this social evil in the Ghanaian society.

• Last but not the least, Ghana under Kufuor’s reign became the largest recipient of Millennium Challenge Account funds of US$547m to combat poverty in Ghana. The bilateral and multilateral debt cancellations as a result of Ghana joining the Heavily Indebted and Poor Countries (HIPC) initiative and the UN's and World Bank’s lucrative jobs for His Excellency, J. A. Kufuor even before the 2008 general elections make him stand tall among his contemporaries. He made Ghana, an oil producing country as oil was struck in commercial quantities in 2010.

How could the excellent record enumerated above be a factor to the NPP's electoral defeat? I leave it for the judgement of the Ghanaian voter in 2016.

God bless Ghana! God bless the NPP!! God bless Kufuor!!!

Strong partisanship started in Ghana when Kwame Nkrumah divided the nation into patriots and traitors. Patriots were those who accepted that he should be president for life, practice communism and one party state, and indulge in Leftist anti-Western propaganda using the small country's meager resources to challenge centuries' old, well-established Western countries. They even accepted that he should be a savior of the Blackman around the world, while tyrannizing his own Black people at home because they have alternative views for the development of their country.

Those who wanted him to concentrate on the needs of the young nation and tone down his rhetoric to our level were called traitors, reactionaries, and agents of imperialism that should be liquidated and imprisoned dead or alive. Could you believe that the opposition members he was tyrannizing were the very people who started and lead the struggle for our independence? They employed Nkrumah and paid for his ticket from the UK to come and work as a General Secretary of the group, saving him from the tyranny and indignity of joblessness in London. The independence struggle Vanguards were senior civil servants in the Gold Coast. And as the struggle was gaining momentum and the scope of the activities widening, they needed someone to work full time for the group; free from official work constrains to further spread the message of the struggle.

Under their responsibility and protection, Nkrumah used the platform to become the public face of the group and his popularity soared. In those days, most of our people could not differentiate between a spokesman like "General Mosquito" and Chairman or leader of the NDC party. As such, they saw him as the person, or the only person fighting for our independence. So when he learnt from the Governor General's British female secretary, who was later on sacked, that the British were preparing to grant us independence, Nkrumah increasingly used unnecessary militant tactics to annoy the Colonial Master, when it was clear that the wind of change was blowing, and also provoke his leaders in order to outfox them. He then used the opportunity to break away from them, forming his own party and slapping them from behind to take power.

This explains the strong partisanship in the country and why Nkrumah didn't want the liberation vanguards to ever get power in his life time. Maybe he was afraid of his own ghost. And despite all that, his supporters still want us to believe that he initiated, spearheaded and single handedly fought for our independence, and therefore name every national project after him as if we were in a kingdom.

A percentage of proceeds from oil, gold, diamonds, cocoa revenues etc should be deposited yearly in a Ghana Sovereign Wealth Fund account, a national 401k. This money will never be touched by any govt, period! This money will be invested all over the world in socially constructive projects. Projects to be excluded can include chemical nuclear projects, environmentally disastrous projects, product based exclusions, tobacco, walmart(human rights abuses). The ROI from this fund will be used to supplement infrastructure projects. Is Ghana a cursed, weak institution? Yes, I agree whole heartedly!

The bush thinking Mate Meho MFS(later,including Obetsebi-Lamptey and Mallam Tula)stymied Ghana's development,which was starting in the same direction as Singapore and Malaysia's.

Like Nkrumah,visionaries like Lee Kuan Yew and Tunku Abdul Rahman had to endure assassination attempts, sabotage,murders and bombings by opposition terrorists.Luckily for these leaders the PDAs they passed - which were far tougher than the one in Ghana after independence - enabled them to cripple the insurgency in Malaysia and the opposition in Singapore. Today,even the children of the terrorists are praising the transformations brought about by these two visionary Asian leaders.

And here in Ghana,the NPP honchos and their progeny have not strayed from the script written by their forefathers - Gold Coast/Ghana's Al Qaeda terrorists and the neo-colonial puppets.With their 18th Century mindset,it seems they're cursed forever - unless they change.

If these idiots think the CPP government employed dictatorial powers to protect the security of the state,then let them take their barbaric and dastardly actions to Washington,DC and London.Nkwaseafor!

Listen to these uninformed babies making noise about Akosombo Dam.Search carefully by asking those who lived before the rein of Nkrumah about Akosombo project and what prompted it.When Kwame Nkrumah enetiated the building of an Atomic bomb and started research with three expelled Israili scientist at Kwabenya he was confronted by the WEST as what is being done to Iran today,he said he needed that for energy and scientific research.OK he was promised with source of energy by constructing the dam.There was a businesman in US Kaiser who took part in the project guaranteed with cheap electricity and labor for his Aluminium smelting busines.He had his ass kicked when he turned to the east for more help to biild the bomb.

Bad leadership in Ghana was started by Nkrumah. In fact all our problems started with him. Nkrumah was a dictator and very ambitious. He introduced one party rule in Ghana and made himself life president. He was neither caring, compassionate, visionary, smart nor politically savvy. Most of the things he took credit for had been started by the British, our colonial masters. For instance Tema Motorway was on the drawing board when he took over and Akosombo Dam was not his brainchild. KNUST was established by Asantehene and the British. Surprisingly, most of the things he takes credit for were never initiated by him

Independence, for instance, was sought for by many and achieved under the aegis and cunningness of Kofi Nwiah, trickster and schemer extraordinaire. Well, all along I have been asking how and under what circumstances "Francis Kofi Nwiah" was able to change his name to "Kwame Nkrumah". I know that it is permissible for anybody to change his name anytime he or she wishes but it is strange and beyond comprehension for one to change his birthday from Friday to Saturday ie from Kofi to Kwame. This is what makes me suspicious of Kofi Nwiah or Kwame Nkrumah. He claimed that his date of birth was 21st September 1909. This day according to the 20th century Calendar was a Tuesday!!! So was Nkrumah born on a Tuesday, a Friday or a Saturday? We must find out what he was up to with all these very strange findings. He was indeed cunning and only preyed on the emotions of the Ghanaian masses. It was my wish that president Mills would set up a committee to investigate before declaring Nkrumah's "unknown" birthday a holiday.

When he took over we had trade surplus running into millions of Pound Sterling but when he was forced out we had a trade deficit of several million pounds sterling!! This was the result of bad governance. He should have been overthrown earlier than 1966. We all saw good governance under K4. To me K4 is the best president Ghana has ever had. Kuffour is the greatest. We thank Kotoka and Afrifa for stoping the dictator in his tracks. Ayekoo Kotoka and Afrifa. Kotoka AirPort should never be renamed.

All our suffering is because of his egoistic motives. Do you remember the statement "Independence now, No neo-colonialism"? That's the cause of our suffering now.
Even if you're too young to remember all these do some research and don't behave as an ignorant scholar. Thank you.

It's just unfair to blame someone who wasn't given enough time to implement his ideas and projects.
It's unfortunate and sad that in Ghana,most people are so ignorant and filled with prejudice that they judge out of hate but if Busia's government had been given ample time,Ghana could have been transformed.That.s a fact.
Whether we like it or not the world as it is,is under the control of the West so indulging in confrontations with them bring nothing but suffering and failures as we see happening with countries which leaders choose to go on that notion.
Mugabe,Nkrumah,Sekou Toure etc,etc all inherited some fortunes from colonial masters but could they build on it?Certainly not.
Singapore,Malaysia,South Korea,Taiwan and others never indulge in confrontations but worked in partnership with colonial masters to take their various countries forward.
Mugabe shouts a lot and accuse everybody but himself but if he will be honest and truthful to himself,what has he achieved or improved on after taken over power since Zimbabwe's independence?

Hope Ghanaians will take Mugabe's observations of Ghana as facts of reality. Ghanaians unfortunately think they are the most civilised of all black countries in Africa, that erroneous feelings even engulfs the mentality of todays youth. Travel across the countries of Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, Botswana, Mozambique, Tanzania, Angola etc. you'll be surprised at the rate of human and physical developments in those countries. Will it surprise Ghanaians that countries like Kenya, Rwanda, Angola, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe etc. are ahead of Ghana in IT & Internet connectivity and, yet in Ghana we make the most noise about everything technology and talk so much about football as though humans live and feed on football. Even the football we talk so much about is in constant decline perpetually. When neighbouring countries as Nigeria is already in space and fast developing a launching space pad to put human in space by year 2020 and, sending over 600 medical personnel to Ebola affected countries of Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea when Ghanaian Doctors take to their heels on seeing Ebola patience enter the wards in Ghana, you still find Ghanaians insult everybody and anything at sight all in the jostle for politicsl leadership. Politics that has never helped Ghana despite the many years of becoming a democratic state. Everything you hear is the credential of the first to attain independence but has very little to show for it. Very sad indeed.

I salute Mugabe for saying the truth about Ghana. Just Imagine what happen under Kufour when Ghana hosted AU meeting.

The proponents of Africa Unification agenda (like the late Gaddafi) thought that since Ghana’s first president Dr. Kwame Nkrumah was the originator of Union of Africa State, his successor Mr. Chairman of AU and President of Ghana, His Excellency John Agyakum Kofour being host to the Accra Conference in July 2007 will support the signing of charter that will serve as road map to Africa unification.
But disappointingly, Kufour as “Yes Leader to the Powers that Be” chose to be neutral - not a gradualist led by Thebo Mbeki or immediator led by Gaddafi.

Mugabe is spot on.The political leadership in Ghana is corrupt.Ghana itself is seriously sick.No meaningful improvement in infrastructure across the country.Political point scoring is the order of the day.Politically inspired labour agitations .What these people do not tell the masses is that,the Western countries they rely on to fund the budget and development are themselves,in economic decline.The UK went into recession 6 years ago and is only just coming out of it.Portugal,Spain,Italy,Greece are in dire straights.These countries have better economists the the so called best in Ghana and they have not been able to ameliorate the situation so far.In the UK,no one in the public sector has had any pay increases in the past 5 years.Our problem is that,political parties are formed in some cases on tribal lines and those put in positions of authority are not up to the job.Some people think they have a God-given right to rule and would do all they can to sabotage anyone in the position they want.Far too many of our people are not educated and those who are,have less common sense than the uneducated masses.We expect development to come from outside.AsJimmy Cliff once wrote:Every tub has to sit on its own bottom and every man has to stand on his own two feet.Lets stop bleating and start putting things right across the whole country.

The failure of gen Acheampong and jj Rawlings lead Ghanaians appease the spirit of dr Kwame Nkrumah for the wrongs of devilish abrefa busia, Edward akuffo addo and their team of bloody souls,Ghana is still suffering. Robert Mugabe is the only true and faithful surviving african president. He is the only real and true typical african leader. The rest are nothing but criminals who are only out to exploit their compatriots. They are only out to amass wealth for themselves, their families and cronies. Not until we get leaders like Kwame Nkrumah,sekou toure, Nasser, haile selassie,robert Mugabe and co, we should forget about moving Africa forward.

Hoa many times has Mr. Robert Mugabe visited Ghana in these recent past? And his visits (very few times had been limited to very few streets in Accra. Yes, in Kwame Nkrumah's day when Mugabe was in Ghana, and after Zimbabwe attained independence, and Jerry Rawlings time when he visited Ghana to when he came here to perform his late wife's funerals up till today, Mugabe's visits is not up to ten times. Even whenever he paid a visit, he rounds have been limited to very few ceremonial streets.

It's always been a drive from the Accra airport, to the castle, around the parliament House to the Kwame Nkrumah Musoleum, finish !!!! He should have asked his High Commisioner to Ghana about the changes in Ghana, instead of pretending he knew everything and exposing his ignorance about the real situation in Ghana.

At one time the Zimbabwean economy was booming with maize export. Then when Mugabe began to defy calls to practice real democracy and the rule of law, they lost almost everything. Once upon a time, Ghana had to feed Zimbabwe with her maize stock. It's a shame an old man who prefers to die in power is talking with such massive ignorance. May be this is the beginning of the end of the road. Senility is setting in and we are all watching.

Ghana can qualify easily. We have the experience the other teams don't have. All we need to do is prepare well in the dark, be disciplined and have attention to detail. If we
a)train and prepare well in less light conditions.
b)disciplined players who pay attention to detail in scoring, converting freekicks, corners, convert set-pieces, defending.
c)experienced players. All these teams in the group are good but compared to Ghana. They are relatively young, inexperienced and lack tournament experience

Despite the poverty in his country what can of house does he live in at the expense of the poor people. And besides what the white people did in Zimbabwe what extra has he specifically achieved for the people of his country. And after all he seems to be the only intelligent person capable of managing his country so I hope his ghost will continue to be head of state when he is dead.

Today Ghanaian are happy because Mugabe critisizing your motherland.Have you ask the Mugabe ,
what has he done, honor his wife Sally(of blessed memory) in her hometownTakoradi. Any school,
clay hut, monument, road, even her the woman family. Can he do something Just forthats small village.

I very Appreciate Critisizm bcose they make you strong and push you reach for the best. But not from
Crook, undevelop, corrupt Leader. Pot calling kettle Black. Let better Country , Leader critise Ghana

What has MUGABE achieve for Africa. What development has he done for Zimbabwe people around the
World. What name has he achieve for himself and his people after 29years in power. Can any developed nation
Leader invite him for even coffee?

Let another country critisize USA, China, UK, RUSSIA, UAE, IRAN, Nigeria, all the Paliament and citizen
Will respond to conderm the head. This is the power of love, respect and homage to their leader and country.
Ghana maybe dirty, no roads, no water , no electricity but concern must be from better country head(not zimbabwe Mugabe)

Ghana is build by HARD WORKING GHANAIANS not WHITE FARMERS like what is happenning in Zimbabwe.
Citizens Hungry and dieying because of oneman.

How many Zimbabwes have reach the level of KOFI ANNAN(MOBA 76), A.AYEW, K. INKRUMAH, I. CHAMBERS, N. AZUMAH, K.DUMOR(late), GHANAIAN DIASPORA, SOME RELIGIUOS LEADERS-C TURKSON just a few.

Mugabe come again. We need to listen to your wisdom. Everything in Ghana is about winning power between NDC AND NPP.Ghana being a house that is so devastatingly divided cannot move an inch forward. Party and individual agenda are seen more important than National agenda.A party wins power and national purse is for only its members. Where can we get to with this attitude. Big degrees cannot even help us change. PHD holders say and do things an upright illiterate will not do and say. The illiterate has lost confidence in the book system because the book long don't even realize that Ghana is bigger than any political party.

I share your view that Ghana is truly divided. This is clearly demonstrated by the comments relating to senile Mugabe's comments. The overwhelming number of comments are blaming the opposing political parties in Ghana to justify this old fool's denigrating comments about our beloved country.

I use the word fool to describe this old man with no apologies, because if as the president of a country he can use words devoid of diplomacy to describe a sister country, then the gloves are off-he does not deserve my respect.

Few commentators on this issue are willing to defend Ghana against this callous observation by a senile old man. A man who has run down a beautiful and once prosperous country, just to hold unto power.

Can we sincerely say that since the days Mugabe lived in Ghana there have been no positive developments in the country, in terms of infrastructure, education, etc? Can we truly say that even within the last five years, Ghana has been at a standstill in terms of development?

Why are we justifying such a callous attack on our country simply because of political divisions? Is there nothing positive to be said about our country? It may be true that our rate of development has been slow, but it is wrong to say that Ghana is today in the same state of development as she was in the 60's.

I did not expect this from Mugabe, but then, 90 years would take a toll on any human's mind. My advice to him is to give way to young blood in his country, to take Zimbabwe forward.

in 2008, Kufour criminally went... outrageously dismantled Nkrumah's Ghana Telecom and sold it just to pay teachers and to save the neck of his Government. That was the kind of economy NDC came to meet. An economy that was under liquidation. Students were being fed with worm infested rice in the shcool feeding under Kudour, NHIS was only limited to a few select disease. That was the kind Kwashiokor stricken economy that the NDC had to revive. Mills did well pumping some life into the economy with his life that's why he legacy was retained. Mahama has done 2 years and we will evaluate his work after four years but I can tell you the policies that Mahama EVEN though is a disappointment given his lack fight for the people element, its still far better than the NPP. Notwithstanding this the economy is still in a neo-colonial mode

The truth is difficult to be told and to hear. In the next three years Ghana will be 60 years old. Dr. Nkrumah told us at independence that we hold our destiny in our hands and that the black man is capable of managing his own affairs. I wonder if we have succeeded in managing our affairs. Today our president is on the street with broom in hand sweeping gutters. We can not enjoy 24 hours of electricity. We do not have good drinking water. Our roads are not in good shape and our leaders are as corrupt as ever. In fact we do not need some lunatic to tell us that we are as we were when we gained independence. We know about it. But when someone told you about it, it hurts the more.

There are many who will insult and vilify him but Mugabe is right. Having the President of a country which gained independence 57years ago to go and clean gutters to clear filth on a so-called Sanitation Day speaks volumes and volumes of out failure as a state. Which serious and civilised country does that in the 21st century when the issue of sanitation could easily be managed with taxes collected from the citizenry? We are getting poorer and poorer even with oil discovery. We have failed big time, let's admit that and be motivated and goaded into action by that.

Do u care to know who made this statement?It's no a lesser person than someone who had been a president for more than three decades.very experienced and well vested with the dynamics of running a country.Zimbabwe has had sanctions for close to a decade now.no aid,no grants but the old and visionary leader has been able to turn things around for the betterment of his people.As at now economically,Zimbabwe is ahead of Ghana.As a matter of fact he's spared us by not saying we're retrogressing economically.Fact;2004 as a public servant I was earning the equivalence of $600 as compared to about $550 today.with this are we making gains in our lives or what?leadership is by experience so don't insult the heroic and visionary leader.Ghanaians keep priding themselves as peace loving people,meanwhile we cannot manage efficiently our resources on our own to better our lots.rather we are AID dependent and debt engulfed.Viva Mugabe.

It might hurt to know the truth but President Robert Mugabi has hit the nail right on the head. Ghana is seriously too poor. Look at the filth all over the country especially in Accra. All roads and streets are bad apart from the ceremonial streets. Children still learn under trees and sit on blocks 57 years after independence. It's a pity to know that struggling Zimbabwe is far better than Ghana in terms of infrastructure and levels of poverty.

The truth is that all governments after Nkrumah have been useless and I mean all of them. They are rather taking Ghana backwards. God save Ghana form the hands of the wicked and greedy leaders.

In this case this Mugabe is right all our fixes has been quick short term nothing long term.Look at projects Nkrumah did such as Tema Township,Akosombo,G.E.T schools and several they were all long term fixes then came the Acheampong,Affrifa,Ankrah,Akuffo all these soldiers where just a big draw back then came Busia who was also full of ideas such as the rural development plan mantra but was not given an inch to even start.JJ also came he was a
bit serious with projects such as UDS ,Kumasi city roads her dealt more with foreign contractors because he realised our locals had failed us for far too long by taking contracts only to get more wives and cars because they believed in ostentatious life and not about Ghana they were proud to count their wives and several children with contractors such as Acquaah of Winneba 10 wives,K.E and Sons of Agona Swedru 11 wives and several other local contractors nation wide.Some notable contractors who did not believe in multi marriage was K.B,Annan of Winneba and some sensible contractors.Then came Kuffuor who also was a long term thinker with projects such as the Bui Dam,NHIS,roads,school feeding etc.then came Mills this is a guy I found to be too slow but also had ideas but just could not get off well because of his slowpo then now Mahama who initially we all thought might do well after being in govt for a while and also vice but so far has been a failure he seems to have no clue and is the first president of Ghana with more children than a role model could have when it comes to promoting family planning.Everything past regimes started are all falling apart and dumsor is just as bad as you can talk of and corruption is just beyond mention.So sit back and think through all these and I know opinions like noses everybody has one.

This sick man and his Zimbabweans are the most stupid human beings on the continent. Common jobs they can't create for themselves. Their ladies and women migrate to South Africa to engage in prostitution by spreading their HIV/AIDS. Their men also migrate to south Africa to compete with South Africans for their few jobs without any entrepreneurial skills to create their own jobs. Mugabe as the president is sick and so you can imagine who the citizens are. Nowadays the international media such as BBC, CNN and Skynews don't pick any piece of news from Mugabe because of his old age mental problem and you, you sit here as a good trained Ghanaian journalist writing such a rubbish from a rubbish person for people to read. What is wrong with our modern journalism? Look at the person talking and what he has done to the human resources in his country before you write what he says. Poor poor journalism.

eating mice in the form of dry and fried. This nasty delicacy must stop since it's a disgrace to Africa. Besides, there are good progress and bad onces since Zimbabwe gained independence. The literacy rate is 83% of a population of 15 million- one of the best in Africa. The population control is not bad at all. The bad thing is Zimbabwe currency was close to 10,000 Zimbabwe dollar to America dollar in 2007 and now current currency is about 250 to American dollar. With this, can we say that country's economy is better than Ghana? The other issue is the average age before death is 55 years old compare to Ghana of 67 years.

Our leaders keep amassing wealth ,stealing is the order of the day .Building mansions ,and the likes of obstantatious goods to the neglect of the millions of men in street .Theyaare so wicked that ,they teamed up with western vampires initiating policies that don't favor us .
Just look at the plant breeders bill they were rushing through to curtail locals and give way to foreigners to own seeds and also kill us with the GMO foods .
Look at way Chinese dig our Gold and take all our markets doing retail as our old mothers do .what a wicked leaders
Mugabe is the only African warrior left after Colonial Mohammed Gadafi may his soul rest in peace was slaughtered by vultures (western allies )
Mugabe stood up and drove them away .Mugabe is mighty .
We're making a big mistakes talking about Democracy .Democracy is nothing but to sit down and make noise in parliament and nothing good comes out .Democracy is design to keep us making noise .
Look at America , they presume to be farthers of Democracy yet Look at what blacks and minority groups are facing today .The majority whites are killing them by the day with impunity with freedom of choice ,freedom of race ,freedom of speech and association imbibed in American constitution and Democracy .

Early this year I met a Zim in Accra who was full of praise of developments he had seen taking place in Ghana. I asked him why, he said in Zimbabwe, they inherited their state buildings and other infrastructure from their colonial master and that since independence Zimbabwe had not been to develop its infrastructure among others. The Zim appeared visibly frozen with disappointment and I had to console them that with time, Zimbabwe could develop as Ghana was doing. I am therefore shocked to read this news of what Mugabe said. The Zim was giving an independent opinion based upon observation he made at no prompting from any body.

It isnt that Ghanaian leaders are visionless, they are just selfish. What is killing Ghana is extreme greed, nepotism, self centeredness corruption (over invoicing and underinvoicing and inflation of contract price etc). People know that some party members, family members and friends are occupying positions they do not qualify to occupy. I can assure u that along as we continue this way with heavy party interest and personal interest imstead of national interest, Ghana will even get worst.

Slavery,colonization apartheid,all bad against humanity but have happened or still happening in disguise but do we allow ourselves to be dragged down by that or try to work harder to improve our standard of living and developments instead of blaming the white man who we all know will treat us(black men)as inferior?
There have been too much talk,blame,accusations and what have you from Nkrumah,many leaders and black people but what have we gained or achieved from that other than going backwards?
Nkrumah,Keita,Toure,Nasser etc,etc had their chances and you Mugabe has been in power since independence of your country,have you done any better than the colonial masters?
Talk is cheap but my message is, most people in Africa lack even basic things like clean water,food decent accommodations and other basic amenities in life so what are you Mugabe,we all Africans doing about it?

Thank you President Mugabe for telling it like it is. Ghanaians are afraid to criticize their own people. It should take a brave man like you who married from the Ghana to send the people of Ghana what they really need to know. The leaders are ruling the country with no plan, just like building a house without a plan. You need do a good job and more often than not you do not know where you are going. Nothing is coordinated in the system and so you are right. We are just "make believe" group of people and the earlier we sit up to do what is right for the country instead of what is right for party, the better it will be for all Ghanaians.

Ghanaians what Mugabe is saying is wake up call for Ghanaians to think about how we can develop our country , he have his own problems like being power drank , but if we wake up from our sleep and vote for competency not looks and tribal lines we can build this beautiful nation to be one of the best in the world , Ghanaians wake up and ,next time do not vote on tribal lines or physical appearance , Ghana need to grow and if you continue being naive , your part of the region will remain the poorest in the country , the NDC is a gang of thiefs , who have the best con men , who is only taking advantage of the poor and vulnerable to amass worth for their selfish interest , you can look at the ministers and the executives of NDC members how they are looking fresh and bloating like pigs immediately they came to power , thy are incompetent but are not ready to leave office just because they are busy draining the country few resources and they don't think about the poor.

Any wonder he's mentioning the likes of Nkrumah,Toure ,Keita,Nasser as good leaders since they all believe in reign of terror and dictatorship.
Ghana hasn't been able to develop as it should because after independence,we've had Nkrumah,Acheampong,Rawlings and his NDC who have ruled a combined total of over forty wasted years of their rule of envy, division and intimidation.
Ghana(Africa) needs leaders willing to work in partnership with others around the world for developments and those who seek to indulge in confrontations.

President Robert Mugabe knows more about Europe , their dirty ways and how to deal with Europe.
Mugabe was liberation leader. He freed his country then RHODESIA , from criminal BRITISH colonial domination , under racist IAN SMITH regime.
After independence in 1980 , he named the country ZIMBABWE. All fertile , prime and useful lands were in the hands of minority European population.
Britain failed to honour its agreement to pay compensation to the few landowners during LAND REFORMS , FAIR AND RATIONAL REDISDRIBUTION OF LAND TO PEOPLE IN ZIMBABWE.
The reforms caused all with more than one farm lands to own and maintain one of their choice and give up the rest for those with none to have one each.
ZANU PARTY government of MUGABE had no compensation to pay to anyone , since BRITAIN failed to do the payments.
Since then Western Europe , America and Britain particularly have waged propaganda war against the government of ZIMBABWE. They have failed with economic sanctions , political interference and evil attempts to malign and destabilize ZIMBABWE.
Every time the people voted , they elected with great joy MUGABE as the president to the shame and annoyance of his western enemies.
Presidend Mugabe is very profound , learned and humane. He is a MARXIST , REVOLUTIONARY and ANTI NEOCOLONIALISM.
The QUEEN OF ENGLAND honoured ROBERT MUGABE with KNIGHTHOOD. He holds more than 10 university degrees , from reputable institutions in Britain , Europe and elsewhere.
His graduate qualifications include ECONOMICS , POLITICAL SCIENCE , SOCIOLOGY , HISTORY , PHILOSOPHY , LAW and others.
No present leader in Africa , Europe , America and many places has such diverse background and intellectual capacity. David Cameron , Barack Obama and their fanatical supporters and enemies of Mugabe are very inferior to him.

Racist Rhodesia under minority European leadership of IAN SMITH was defeated in Liberation War , by revolutionary struggle of the indigenous African peoples , ZANU PARTY , under revolutionary Marxist leadership of Comrade Robert Mugabe.
Zimbabwe replaced Rhodesia after independence in 1980.
Ian Smith resisted every western enticement , after his defeat , to be used against Robert Mugabe and ZANU PARTY GOVERNMENT of Zimbabwe. Former Racist leader Ian Smith refused to go into exile in Britain. He preferred new ZIMBABWE , under leadership of Marxist Robert Mugabe. Ian Smith stayed , lived in independent ZIMBABWE and died years later at fine age of 90 plus.
Ian Smith lived openly , freely and with great joy and satisfaction in Harare , capital of the country under protection of Mugabe , the one person RACIST RHODESIA hated so very much and did all to destroy and murder , but failed.
Robert Mugabe was hailed and gloriously projected by repentant IAN SMITH. He described Mugabe as very good and humane leader. One who loves all , Africa and his country so very dearly.
Mugabe stayed for a while and married SALLY HAYFORD at SEKONDI in GHANA , whilst he taught at a Training College in Sekondi-Takoradi area in GHANA.
KWAME NKRUMAH aided Mugabe and the FREEDOM FIGHTERS , in the liberation war against racist European regime of RHODESIA , now ZIMBABWE. And under President Robert Mugabe.
LONG LIVE ROBERT MUGABE. DOWN WITH CAPITALISTS , IMPERIALISTS AND NEO-COLONIALISTS.

Robert Mugabe cannot sit in his seemingly one party state and begin to mock at Ghana and countries that seemed to be not supporting his iron hands regime to the disadvantage of its citezenry,and now, after the communist propaganda led by himself, what has he achieved after many decades of staying in power\.The obvious answer is nothing after inheriting the Ian Smith handing over of power to him with several infrastuctural developments,what has he contributed so far to the countrys economy and its developments.The only lessons he keeps in his memory is the Kwame Nkrumah Idiological Institute and the Communist propagandas he learnet in Ghana which Ghanaians have censored through as not too helpful vis avis his fascination over the status quo.He should now look at China a deep rooted communists country borne out of cultural revolution, has now seen the light at the end of the tunnel and changed to a different perspective and given a large measure of freedom to its poeples who have the rights to do bussiness with the outside world which has brought prosperity to the Nation and its peoples.At the ripe age of 90,he still weild power and wants to rule Zimbagwe after he has gone to the world here afer through his wife by forcing her to become the leader of the Womens wing of the party which gives automatic credence to the wife to become a member of Parliament and therefore enabling her to stand in for the Presidency.He must know that Zimbagwe is not his personal property, it belongs to all Zimbagweans and he cannot claim it assuch.Mr Robert Mugarbe left Ghana many years ago and thinks we are still like the Nkrumahs erra yes, we do not dispute the fact that Nkrumah helped Ghana as well as he doled out our money to his country and other African countries to fight for freedom,Ghanaians are not supressed and bullied as he does to his county men but are working assidiously to improve our couty,and the welfare of its citizenry.

Today is a Sad Day for Ghana.Mugabe spoke the truth ! But he should have been one of the last to take a swipe at Ghana. For these were the Freedom fighters(Mugabe and other)whom Kwame Nkrumah wasted part of our hard earned money left to the Country by the British, to sponsor freedom fighters.( I stand corrected).And wasted money to build Nkrumah Ideological Institute.
(now W'ba Uni- south campus).They had everything free(food,boarding & lodging, no Sch fees)etc.I would not be surprised to hear if they earned some monthly allowances in addition, to the detriment of other areas of Ghana's national development like agriculture (irrigation,aqua culture), first class roads etc. Nkrumah did well, though but,that was his wrong side. The Continental Politics !
However,the "Ma te meho" bomb throwers are also counted on Ghana's stagnation at the time with the overthrow of Nkrumah in 1966. . Dr Limman was right on track,doing well.So,there was not the need for a coup but for sheer greediness on the part of Rawlings !
Of all the Military leaders,Rawlings is the only one who grounded Ghana's Industrial development on Divestiture implementation which saw the closure of all the Factories in the Country to this day ;instead of the simple Common Sense approach of a going Concern(factories in operation,while you look for buyers)From State Owned
to Private Ownership(socialist to capitalism).
The last two contributors to Ghana's downfall is late "no-nothing" former president Atta Mills(mess),and Clueless present leadership, Mahama.
Unless the Elections were rigged by the NDC,I put these last two problems on the door steps of Voters.Though my suspision is that voters sorted (manner) to punished the NPP because of the Golden Chain Kuffour presented to himself.however,his admin did very well to move the Country forward.So,whatever be the case,Kuffour's govt achievements to the Country outweighs any wrong doings,if any. Therefore,Ghanaians should have acknowledged it to maintain the NPP in power to register continued success and progress.
What Ghana need at the moment is a Selfless,pitiful and compassionate leadership with plans on paper and vision to do the peoples business.And not those who promises 350 or 250 High Schools.Just to throw dust into the eye of parents,knowing how people care about their Children's education.Any genuine well thought through leadership will agree with me that Ghana do not need 350 or 250 SHS now!Existing Schools should be expanded in addition to about 50 large ones,strategically placed new Day Schools across the Regions.1,2,or,3 Schs according to the size or population(number of elementary Schools in the place)of the area and the demanding statistics of the Regions.Anyway.

disparaging and demeaning as it is l believe to some extent mugabe was on spot. our perchant for praise singing our mediocre achievement at the least opportunity both within & outside the country is at least very nauseating. we always tend to attached undue attention to trivialities than priorities, more to form than to substance. we behave as we are in competition with the world..our political lesdership, professional bodies, and our training institutions must sit up and be pragmatic. our politicians have developed unbridled taste for foreign travels and one wonders whether there is anything at all of all the great things they see out there they do learn or pick something positive from those places they visit to be replicated. for instance, in our recent past in the heat of the lands redistribution policy in Zimbabwe, how their economy plunged into hyperinflation where even a loaf of bread was bought for about 15million zimbabwe dollars then, thats is thousands percents over yet a little over a year or so after they are managing inflation under 6%. since when did ghanaian economist able to tame inflation this low..? we need alot of introspection to do as individuals and as a nation. we kept shouting 4 times african champions till egypt came from three cups down to win seven cups yet our attitude have not and we still creates an impression as if we are better than others. again, hear the kind of noise we have making about this 'gateway or destination something' we are shouting the loudest but the nigerians we know are enjoy the best of the puddings...its very didgraceful to see our leaders always making alot of noise of we are first in this or first in that..please better let us build our nation in quietitude than be breathing so much fire but less heat and so we donot become object scorn and ridicule amongst the comity of nations..

I THINK THIS OLD MAN HAS LOST IT. PLEASE TELL HIM GHANA HAS A WORKING DEMOCRACY IN WHICH NO SINGLE DEMENTED OLD MAN CAN HANG ON TO POWER FOR LIFE. I WONDER WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN HE DIES NEXT YEAR.

VANA( MUGABE) LEADERS AFTER NKRUMAH AND GEN. ACHEAMPONG THE LEADERS WHO FOLLOWED ARE WOMEN FONDLING THINKERS, THE HEART OF COLONIALISM, WOMEN AND DRINKS, AND THAT IS ALL THEY DO WHEN WIN POWER, TRUE THEY ARE YES LEADERS. AND ARE NOT CRITICAL THINKERS WHO CAN THINK AND MOVE THE WHOLE NATION TO FOLLOW.THEY MAY NOT LIKE HOW YOU SAID IT. BUT MAN, CALL A SPADE A SPADE. AND THANK YOU FOR THE TRUTH. WE PRAY ALMIGHTY ALLAH TO GIVE US GOOD AND INSPIRING CRITICAL THINKERS AND VISIONARIES. AS FOR FOR NO VISION LEADERS ALLAH SHOULD END IT WITH JOHN MAHAMA'S FIRST TERM . OH ALLAH GIVE US A NKRUMAH SPIRITED LEADER IN 2016 NOT THE JOHNS WHO ARE ONLY COMING TO CLEAR THE WAY FOR ECONOMIC AND VISIONARY LEADER IN 2016. ALL JOHNS ARE BORN TO CLEAR THE WAY FOR THE PROMISED ONE LIKE WHAT JOHN THE BAPTIST DID FOR JESUS THE CHRIST.

Some truth in what Mugabe said about Ghana. But what is the state of affairs in Zimbabwe? What has he been able to acomplish in Zimbabwe after all the years he's been in power?

Folks, brothers and sisters, what past is past, if we keep dwelling on what went wrong in the past and even spend time debating and arguing over the Nkrumah's, Busia's and JJ then we are not ready to grow, We are already acting very silly in Christianity on a very hypocritical way. What has to be done is how we can put our heads together and wipe out Greediness selfishness. This what we should be doing now rather than pointing hands at those who serve their time by filling their pockets or breaking the country more further. Can any bring Nkrumah or Busia and even Kuffour/Rawlings (who are even still alive to book) its just a waste of time and resources to do so. Lets move forward. If we go to sit in the church-house from Monday till Friday for prayers morning till evening, how can we feed ourselves. Clean up the churches and politicians and you will see how fast we start progressing.
