HE HAS NO IDEAS OR SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEMS THEY HAVE CAUSED. HE IS ONLY CELEBRATING HIS POSITION LIKE A GHANAIAN/NIGERIAN MOVIE ACTOR IN A MOVIE. VOTE HIM OUT IN 2016.

Incumbent Chairman of the governing party Dr Kwabena Adjei has told starr news in an interview that he is being blamed by members of the National Democratic Congress, for the failures of the current Government.
“Everything the Government has done and has not done well from the energy crisis to lack of funds for GETfund scholarship to school feeding programme to poor road network to lack of potable water in certain places, all are government responsibilities, I’m not the person to be blamed, but when I go out they blame me, as if I was the minister of water resources works and housing, minister of roads, minister of energy, minister of this, they put it on me,” the two-time Chairman who is running for a third consecutive term told Ibrahim Alhassan.
The former Minister in the Rawlings Government, nonetheless conceded that the complaints of the party “mirror the general view” of Ghanaians in the country.
“…I take some of the blame because I’m the party chairman, and I can’t go out of my way to deny,” he said.

"Keep borrowing in line with approved levels." What level? And why keep borrowing? You have already exceeded your borrowing limits, and that is one of the major reasons for the downgrade. Yet you still want to keep borrowing. The only way to stop this borrowing nonsense is to politically attack the MPs who are supporting this train-wreck.
I am surprised at how ineffective the opposition parties are in exploiting the mismanagement and elementary mistakes of the current government. This government is a complete disaster, yet the opposition parties are not doing their job in explaining to Ghanaians the almost irreparable problems this government is saddling the country with.

Until we have changed the way our government operates and the legislative and executive arms earn the income that suits their input, there will be no change in the life of the ordinary Ghanaian; by that I don't mean only poor people, but anybody outside politics who is also not a celebrity.
What do I mean by that? Until parliamentarians and ministers stop getting wages that they don't deserve, they will never see any reason why Ghanaians are complaining. If they see the need for all the benefits that they have allotted to themselves to make life comfortable because to them that is the reality of today's economic condition, why do they think that comfort should be denied others outside politics? People of Ghana, your legislators and the executive arm will never change anything to their disadvantage. It is you and I who will have to change the status quo. I'm bringing this up today and I believe people will take it up from here and talk about it till the constitution is amended. The amendment must see a change in the situation where legislators pass bills on benefits that goes to them without any trouble, but refuse to do the same for others. They must not decide how much they earn; that must be decided by the people, and it must go up in proportion with that of the rest of us. The free this and free that must cease. That does not make them feel what we feel, and therefore does not lead to taking sensible decisions to solve our problems. It will also be less attractive to nobodies who resign their jobs to seek greener pasture there only to enrich themselves.
The second issue is the situation where a parliamentarian is given a ministerial appointment yet, continue to be a legislator. Yes, the constitution allows that, but common sense must tell us that it is not proper, and they can never perform efficiently in both capacities. I'm therefore not surprise that things are not working for us. Somebody must talk about this, I have started it. Let's talk and call for a change. We have the power to turn things around. The politicians will not do it, left to them.

THE NDC PARTY IS FULL OF LOW GRADE POLITICIANS LIKE John Mahama & some shallow thinking,create,loot and share Ministers & some FOOLISH FOLLOWERS. 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 through as result of their foolish action in Dec 2012, and change for the better. I pray that you let them vote this USELESS and CLUELESS NDC GOVERNMENT out of power and never allow this bunch of thieves near the corridors of power ever again in the history of our beloved Ghana . 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. Lord, there are too many office to office beggars in Ghana, that is a sign of poverty, kick those who encourage this out of office.Lord Jesus, there are about 6-8 Million unemployed youth including well qualified Graduates in Ghana with a bleak future of hopelessness with no sign of opportunities to earn a living and not to talk about dumsor which has crippled businesses making a lot struggling and further making more people homeless and also making our children unable to learn properly in the evening.Oh Lord,this dumsor has been creating several death that could have been prevented if care and properly planning was done to resolve this simple problem of dumsor by dealing with the transmission losses resulting from transmitting power from the source to homes and businessess across the country. This simple power shortfall can be addressed in just 3 months with proper due diligence and proper planning toward this dumsor if only we had the right people in charge with a clear vision than this create loot and share mindset of NDC Crooks.Oh Lord,You have said in your word in Psalm 109 'Hold not thy peace, O God of our praise; 2 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against us Ghanaians: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue with evil corrupt intent. 3 They compassed us about also with words of hatred; and fought against our properity with greed without a cause. 4 For my love these people in Gov't are our adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer. 5 And they have rewarded us Ghanaians evil hardship for our good and peace manner, and hatred for our love. 6 Set thou a wicked man over this Gov't: and let Satan stand at their right hand. 7 When they shall be judged, let them be condemned: and let their prayer become sin. 8 Let their days be few; and let another take their of office. 9 Let their children be fatherless, and their wives a widow. 10 Let their children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places. 11 Let the extortioner catch all that they have acquired their create,loot and share practises; and let the strangers spoil their labour. 12 Let there be none to extend mercy unto them when they are in opposition: neither let there be any to favour their fatherless children.Let these be the reward of those who steal or create,loot and share the little money Ghana has. Oh Lord,How long would you allow this corrupt people to govern mother Ghana with their wickedness.Merciful Father, too many FOOLISH VOTERS who have no sense of dignity are rewarded with trips to soccer matches only to go and sleep on the floor in foreign land, and eventually seek asylum, stamp that disgraceful spirit out of Ghana. Lord, you have blessed us with everything that can make us rich, but you seemed to have forgotten to protect mother Ghana from greedy politicians and thieves; we call on you to rise and let these nation wreckers scatter in 2016. Amen

In economics, as it relates to Ghana right this moment, the John Mahama-led NDC gov't can give all the sweet excuses to deceive Ghanaians. They'll soon find it as Dr. Bawumia had pointed out earlier---way back---in 2010, is like pregnancy; you could lie about it, but can't hide it for very long. Soon, everything will be in the open; you'll be exposed! So the Finance Minister should keep on singing while he expect everyone to dance to his imaginary tunes. We'll keep on praying for a miracle---the suffering and misery ought to stop.
Interestingly, the NDC believe that once the Dum-sor situation is over, they'll win the trust of the Ghanaians electorate. What they don't seem to understand is that people are angry because of the election fraud and the bogus Supreme Court verdict, read by Justice Atuguba. It's clear that the economic chaos and everything Ghana is going through is the direct repercussion of stealing the ballot via EC's aid and the SC's endorsement of everything.
Mahaman's NDC gov't has lost God's favour; the Might One has turned His eyes away from the gov't and the nation and that's why everything continue to fall apart for Ghanaians under the NDC's rule. Everything that John Mahamam touches as president becomes a failure. In Christ, there's no lies, hypocrisy and propaganda. It's funny how Koku Anyidoho, Anita D'Soosoo, Felix Ofosu Kwaakye, Okudzeto Ablakwa, Asiedu Nketia & Co., understand the workings of the Mighty God. To them it's cool to use "buga-buga" means to achieve their political desires, meanwhile things ain't going right!

The first thing to do to show any seriousness in tackling the Moody downgrade of the Economy is declare war on corruption and immediately round up all the corrupt Officials and speed up the trial and conviction of those already at the Courts.
It is shamefully sad that we can hardly account for all the revenues from the Gold, Oil and Cocoa price increases and have to resort to borrowing from the IMF, again.
Now that the prices of Gold and Oil have significantly fallen, Ghana is caught with her pants down. How could our Officials even live with themselves for having led such a wanton dissipation of our financial assets?
I am beginning to believe that it does not take a soft heart and feeble will to govern a Nation, especially one like ours. A leader with a strong will and sturdy purpose is what Ghana needs. She does not need a President who thinks more of his or her personal fame, or popularity, than the Nation's advancement, and is fully satisfied only by his or her rise to the Presidency, and not Ghana's true development.
AS USUAL WITH LIES & AND FAKE PROMISES TO GHANAIANS, WE LIVE TO SEE IF UR SO CALLED STRONG MEDIUM TERM PROSPECTS WOULD WORK. TIME WILL TELL U THE PLAIN TRUTH.
What's medium? Anything over a year is a fake promise calculated to remain in their seats to hurt Ghana more?
IF YOU ARE A THIEF JOIN NDC. THERE ARE A LOT OF FOOLISH FOLLOWERS THERE TO COVER YOUR BACK.
