    MAHAMA DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING AT THE PRESIDENCY. HE IS ONLY CELEBRATING HIS POSITION LIKE AN AFRICAN MOVIE ACTOR. VOTE HIM AND HIS USELESS NDC OUT IN 2016. 26 YEARS OF USELESS RULE IS ENOUGH. THINGS ARE GETTING WORSE.

    In UK here what they have adopted is PPP. Private public partnership. The Government has signed with big companies to run most of these projects so that the government doesn't loose.

  • Adus 10 years ago

    If we had working institutions, it wouldn't be the president to order prosecutions. True, Obama said we need strong institutions. We need strong, independent institutions.
