I hope these demonstrations will end in 2014, today, otherwise, this lame-duck President is in real trouble.

Kpong Water workers, could you remember that Nkrumah used to incite workers to strike against the Whiteman, but outlawed strikes in his regime and said they were unpatriotic when living conditions were genuinely difficult for workers?

Could you also remember that Rawlings used to incite TUC workers to strike against Liman's government 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 fake 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 NDC government hopping that they would translate into votes for the party in the next elections. And that is, in fact, a genuine and legitimate politics since the failings are true and not false. Everybody in Ghana knows that cost of living under this 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 the higher levels of corruption, over spending, reckless borrowing and overall economic mismanagement that have brought untold hardship on Ghanaians. Moreover, you can't spend over $5bn to buy the conscience of voters in 2012 elections, and expect that it wouldn't reflect adversely on the lives of the citizens of this struggling African nation.

Thank you, Mr. Greenstreet, you spoke what is in the heart of Ghanaians. Everyone in this world knows NDC hates the truth and would like to hear lies because they are liers. If NDC is really truthful to themselves they will know he spoke the truth and if you ask Ghanaians, I am sure 80% of the people will agree with him. Let N D C come back to their senses and accept the truth and that wopill save this nation

IF YOU SUSPECT THAT OPPOSITIONS IS BEHIND EVERY DEMONSTRATION AGAINST THE GOVERNING PREZ IN THE COUNTRY, THEN IT MEANS, MAJORITY OF THE CITIZENS ARE NOT FOR JDM. THIS IS AS SIMPLE AS THAT. I THINK YOU WILL DO HIM GOOD IF YOU ADVICE HIM TO STEP DOWN FOR THE ONE THE PEOPLE LOVE TO TAKE ON THE JOB THEN, SINCE YOU CAN TESTIFY FOR YOURSELF THAT THE PEOPLE DON'T WANT HIM AS THEIR LEADER THAT IS HWY WHENEVER THE ONE THEY LOVE ORDER THEM TO ARISE AND DEMONSTRATE, THEY OBEY AND ACT AS SUCH.

It is immoral to leave poor workers unpaid. They are perfectly entitled to strike. Are you willing to feed them and their families?

NDC borrows everything. After borrowing the money from the Chinese, they also borrow Ghanaian labour. When you borrow you must pay back!
