O Lord I pray for Mother Ghana, that you reduce the number of FOOLISH VOTERS in 2016. Father the small number that will be left, wash their faces with sea sand so that they would be able to see the predicament they have put Ghana in through their foolish action, and change for the better. I pray that you let them vote this USELESS and CLUELESS GOVERNMENT out. Let those who these FOOLISH VOTERS envy because they are prospering as a result of which they vote foolishly so that they will be equal with them prosper even more. Father let those who are sympathetic to these USELESS VOTERS stop giving them money when they come begging, so that they will realize 'Ghana is hard', and vote wisely this time round. Amen

HELPLESSNESS, HOPELESSNESS & FEELING OF DESPONDENCY HAVE GRIPPED MANY IN GHANA TODAY.
GHANA HAS BEEN RAPED BY THESE NDC IDIOTS. WE DO NOT NEED ANY NATIONAL ECONOMIC FORUM, WE NEED A NATIONAL COURT OF JURISDICTION TO PUT MAHAMA AND HIS CABINET ON TRIAL. GHANA'S HOPELESS ECONOMIC SITUATION, TODAY, IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. NDC HAS OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS PRESIDED OVER THE BIGGEST RESOURCES IN OUR HISTORY INCLUDING CRUDE OIL & STEALTH TAXES. THEY HAVE ALSO CONTRACTED THE BIGGEST LOANS IN OUR HISTORY. IF THEY HAVE NOTHING TO SHOW FOR THIS AND THE ECONOMY IS IN SHAMBLES, THEN,THEY MUST BE PROSECUTED. THEY MUST GIVE THE MONEYS BACK TO THE TREASURY. WE DO NOT NEED ANY ECONOMIC FORUM. SET UP A COURT IMMEDIATELY. IT HAPPENED IN THAILAND RECENTLY, PRIME MINISTER YINGLUCK SHINAWATRA WAS REMOVED BY THE CONSTITUTIONAL COURT FOR ABUSING POWER. LOOK AT GHANA;-- EMBRAER PLANE SCANDAL, STX KOREA,NDC US$20 MILLION PARTY HQ., US$4 MILLION DODGY JUDGEMENT DEBT TO MRS RAWLINGS AND HER COMPANY, SUBAH, GYEEDA, WOYOMI, ISOFOTON, WATERVILLE, AFRICA AUTOMOBILE, CP, SADA, FORTIZ/MERCHANT BANK,BRAZIL WORLD CUP SCANDAL, FREE EXPENSIVE CARS FOR CHIEFS, AKONFEM AND A HOST OF OTHER DODGY JUDGEMENT DEBT PAYMENTS. BUYING VOTES WITH CASH, LAND CRUISERS & LAPTOPS JUST TO WIN ELECTIONS. WHY NDC?????? WHY??? OUR SUPREME COURT COULD NOT HELP BUT DESCRIBED IT AS "ALLIANCE TO CREATE, LOOT AND SHARE" WHAT A SHAME? ?? AND YOU CALLING GHANAIANS TO A WASTEFUL ECONOMIC FORUM. NDC, THE MONEY IS WITH YOU, GIVE IT BACK TO GHANA. NPP, I SALUTE YOUR COURAGE FOR NOT ATTENDING. NPP REMAIN SMART AND VIGILANT!!!

There is no ghosts or ghost names on the government payroll. The so called ghost names are the Ndc fool soldiers getting paid to keep them in line and ensure the continued Ndc stay in power.

If the government really want to delect these fool soldiers from the payroll system, it can do so within hours.

When Kwaku Baako informed us about the atrocities of Kwesi Pratt during PNDC Regime, some of us did not believe until the truth was confirmed during the NRC. Kwesi Pratt is the most dangerous Journalist Ghana had ever have, he had the gut to recommend his fellow journalists to be executed by PNDC. Pratt even recommended Baako to be killed by the regime, thank God Baako was instead touchered violently and severely but his life was spared. This is what Kwesi Pratt can do. Now Pratt is a secret agent to NDC and US Embassy in Ghana. May God forgive Pratt and spare him the untold evils that will come upon him and his generations. The souls of those journalist killed through Pratt's recommendations to PNDC will never forgive Pratt. Now Pratt has the guts to take Diplomatic Passport and smuggled his weak-headed children to work at the Ministries under Mills NDC, may God forgive Pratt and his dependance and spare them of the evils ahead of them...

Can you imagine this? We love to brag of being independent and the gateway to Africa but just imagine what is going on? I will not stop saying that the system has been deliberately set up by the elite to siphon money from the national coffers. Simple as that.

Look, when Pol Pot took power in Cambodia, he set his eyes on the "elite". Those who did not run away were killed. He accused them of the rot in the system and the same is what is going on in Ghana and other African countries. The elite is the problem going on in Ghana.

In this time of abundance technology, why can't we set up an electronic system to control the payroll system? Because some people cannot steal if they implement that system.

If the help social security numbers (which every government employee have in Ghana) and a simple accounting software, payroll system can easily be control from ghost names by the accounting general office. However, you are right, with pre-occupation of corruption in the mindset of our leaders they will dream of finding a solution to this massive problem…..

The Finance Minister is not even ashamed to say this when he initially denied that govt would going to the IMF. We certainly are where we are because of hypocrites and sycophants that we have as leaders. God save Ghana.

There is a robust, tested, tried and accomplished INTEGRATED computerized software system currently on the market that can do marvelously well to help these "GHOST" names from our public service. The system is called SAP (System, Application in Data Processing). There are competent and experienced Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) or as it stands, Super Users (SUs) in-country that are readily available to manage the system once it is implemented and kicked for GO-LIVE.

I am not sure this minister is confident. He is really reeling under the economic pressure. He must be changed immediately. Merely talking is not it. Most of the policies being implemented will go bonkers. I mean you are dealing with astute business people who know their worth and who will not fall these rubbish policies made to milk them while non starters in government steal the money. The business community is wiser.

The IMF is nothing but a looting mechanism designed to allow Western Banks to strip poorer weaker countries of their assets and in the meantime taking over their sovereignty. IMF is made particularly easy when government leaders weakened by corruption and thievery can be easily blackmailed and armtwisted by foreign powers. That is the situation in Ghana at the moment
