Author:-Mahmoud...
If the government doesn't want anybody to talk about the exorbitant cost of the interchange, it should have come clean from the beginning; from the bidding process to the award of the contract.

If you have an open bidding process in which three or more companies bid for a project, and the submitted tender documents opened in front of all representatives of the contractors that took part in the process, and you award the contract to one of the companies based on best technical specifications and reasonable lower cost, the amount you award the contract will be known to even the other contractors and it will not be difficult for the government to release it.

How can we award contract to a company and the work is ongoing without knowing exactly how much we've awarded it, and we're still talking about projected figures and so on? I believe Nana is hitting the nail on the head. There is too much obscurity and lack of transparency in awarding the project, and we're afraid that Ghanaians may not be getting value for their money.

There is something at play here worth knowing called cost of living/labor cost and cost of materials. Unless you can prove labor cost in Ghana and Ethiopia are exactly the same and the cost of materials the same in both nations you had better learn more about cost estimation and or cost assessment and evaluation, old soldier.

While house wives,women of all age groups and men and boys came out in their millions with women holding banku sticks and stayed on for three days until their result was realized in Burkina Faso - the land of the upright men, Less than 300 Occupy Ghana men came out without the majority poor- because they the educated were ashamed of them - and stayed on for less that four hours, and got invited in to Flag staff house and went back to form a book-long exclusive club and resorted in to doing what cowards do best in Ghana, TALK and more TALK on radio.

Elinam, don't compare the two (BF&GH). Blaise Campaore is the subject matter here and you know very well what transpired under his rule. The politics of Ghana and Burkina are different so don't expect what happened there to happen in Ghana too.I know it might serve some people's interest but the two are different scenarios.

If the said members have a political ambition then they should channel the group to the political party the belong and stop deceiving Ghanaians that the group is non-partisan. We can't continue to accept any dishonest group in our society: they come up with so-called non-partisan group but within them they are being political opportunist. Big nonsense.

"By hook or by crook, by law or otherwise we will fix the problem so that we can actually manage the economy much better".

"We are not hiding under any umbrella or any group. The simple thing is that I’m doing what I think is right and if you want to put me in a jacket because of what I think; that’s fine, but it doesn't take away what I’m trying to do because my course is proper”.

Brilliant response, very, very brilliant response. Ghana can only move forward!!!.

I thought this group has been labelled all along as a non partisan group. Today they have admitted they have politicians amongst them.Nobody is faulting them for what their doing but they should come out as politicians so they will be treated as such. It is only cowards who will hide under the guise of soemthing else to prosecute a nefarious agenda. In any case what does he mean by hook or crook? This man is very funy. They cannot do anything. Empty barrels.Or have they been contracted by grandpa to prosecute the 'all die be die ' agenda chapter 2

He says " By hook or crook or any means possible we will fix the problem to manage the economy better".
1. What is the problem in question here?
2. What does "any means possible" really mean?

They remind me of the "Occupy Honk Kong Group" who were aptly described by a commentator that they are "full of energy and enthusiasm" but are chaotic, lack coordination and their actions counter-productive".

I recall that those who chose to "occupy Wall Street", Washington and London" with their tents were eventually cleared by law enforcement because they became a nuisance and were disrupting normal business and the very economy they claimed to be fighting for.

By the way the economic costs to Honk Kong of the recent 'occupation' run in hundreds of millions of US dollars!!! Can Ghana really afford such irresponsible behaviour?

OccupyGhana is not by the standard definition of think tanks, a think tank. On the contrary, it is a bastion of active anti-NDC activists....Do I need to reiterate the fact that it has a political agenda and is propelled by an "urgent" need to right the national economy.

Casely Hayford, Franklin Cudjoe and Ankomah will ultimately realize that their ambitions and objectives do not serve the national interest....think tanks are supposed to labor in the background...providing advice to politicians and legislators....on how best to govern society. However, these guys are doing everything wrong........they should across the Atlantic and see how western think tanks operate...they are effective and influential however without the publicity and arrogance......

Mr. Sydney Casely-Hayford has finally gathered courage to admit that some members of his group have political inclination.Let's hope that he's not one of those members! However, it can be emphatically said that Franklin Cudjoe clearly stands out as one of those members by way of his blatant lies and academic dishonesty that he designs to galvanize support for the the NPP. He hopes that his big-mouth and self-aggrandizement will be able to help him to comfortably lie in bed with the NPP for future government appointment should the NPP come to power. All pre and post independence administrations are guilty of ghost names on government vouchers. If the big-mouthed Cudjoe claims he has made an interception and he is honest to himself, he ought to fearlessly expose that to the news media that are anxiously waiting to publish everything. Stop your blatant lies and don't behave like a toothless barking dog!

It is good for sydney to confess that some of his friends in occupy ghana have political ambtion. There is nothing wrong with it. But you see, some of the occupy ghana members think they are smart. Take somebody franklin, he pretends as if he has no political leanings with the npp and want to carry himself as a neutral person. That is what is nauseating. Some of us can reason and read between the lines. Sydney, thank for making clear at where you and your colleagues stand. Some of us had known where you stand long ago but it is refreshing that you have confirmed our theory and I respect you for that
