You can not sell or market a non performing govt . Lie and steal as much as you want ut the people of Ghana are sophisticated enough to determine the truth and not fall for propaganda lies. The facts speak for themselves , for example before NDC took over we had the rating of a an A- or AAB with a tendency to a A+ of AAA rating , today we are a C- heading for a D due to reckless borrowing , gross mismanagement and institutionalized corruption which has stopped all investments even from our own Akan dominated diaspora. The fact is our economy is in shambles and our rating in the toilet, not suprising as our leading is nothing but a toilet carrier's son like most of his pepeni appointees .This Boko harem fake ass govt has not even read the bible to notice that it says even the ''woe unto any nation which allows its slave to rule '' which means intoday's language that any nation that allows the incompetent to rule will most surely suffer. History has proven this , the Mayan civilization fell in a matter of months just because of a coup or uprising whereby the people killed their leaders and ate their brains thinking that the way to get compentence. Here in in Ghana we have the various Ewes and their coups supported by the pepeni murdering their masters like Atta Mills was . We have 2 major parties which both lack any form of ideology or ideologist , Kuffuor eliminated Prof Eduboahen and his Fant thinkers from his Legon days, NDc murdered Atta Mills the only true patriot ideologist the end result being there is no cohesive thinking except the various tribalism / envious anti Akan leanings of the northerners and the voltarians. Yes we shall bring them down by exposing them for what they really are . This hopeless fools deep down hope for an authoritarian dictatorship as it only in these systems of governance that soldiers and police directly control the affairs of governance at the expense of the people . Democracy or plurality of thought is considered a threat and atrocities against humanity their every thrill. The institutions of state are so weakened by the corruption that things are falling apart right in front of our eyes and we see disaster after disaster occurring.Dumsor,flooding, and bankruptcy around the corner and yet they still instead of resigning are hoping for another term. Ministers(Avoka)are so incompetent that one minister had his son go for army training as all they know is how to chop Ghana's money,none know how to make it.Kuffuor sold our gold field so the tens of billions that leave the country every year is not invested in the economy and this govt can not not create a law that will force them to keep the money here or tax them 90% of the profits as they do not know the wealth of the nation must belong to the people of the nation . Rather they fantasize of laws just to limit the freedoms of the people and cause more hardship.We Akans must remain steadfast and make sure we exit this nightmare of a mess called Ghana unified for the future our children as this can never be repaired or fixed

CP CP CP scandal should shock you

Woyome 51m cedis is a child's play

CP payment for no work was 94m Euro.

CP presented a claim that his Anwhiankwanta project was terminated.

The project was never terminated. CP just stopped work when Kufuor came to power.

When Kufuor left he presented a claim based on termination by Kufuor admininstration.

Mills , Mahama and the entire cabinet looked on and Betty Mould approved to pay 94m Euro ---$120m --500m Cedis just like that.

They never consulted the Road authorities. They never consulted Kufuor administration.

Corrupt Goodluck Jonathan is gone.

John Mahama the super corrupt thief is next.

PEOPLE OF GHANA, WHY IS SUCH A PERSON IN PARLIAMENT? IS HE NOT DEMEANING THE LEGISLATIVE ARM OF GOVERNMENT? GET BBC NEWS!!!!!! OUT OF PARLIAMENT.

I'm sure this is not what the people of La Dadekotopon want their member of parliament to be. For most of them, I believe they feel ashamed to identify him as their MP, and rightly so, because they have seen better days before. Your mouthpiece in parliament says a lot about you, and they can no longer bear this shame. Very good and respectable member of parliament from La like the late HONOURABLE PETER ALA ADJETEY WILL BE MISSED. People of La Dadekotopon, redeem your good name by VOTING OUT THIS MISCREANT CALLED AMASA NAMOALE, and send a very decent person who represents and yearns to meet your goals and aspirations. YOU DON'T DESERVE TO LIVE WITH THIS DISGRACE PEOPLE OF LA DADEKOTOPON. VOTE AMASA NAMOALE OUT IN 2016.

If government procured number of shoes from a Ghanaian manufacturer DIHOC and pay them, jobs are created and maintained. Then govt turned around and donate the shoes to school kids, that saves the parents of these kids to save their money for more pressing things.
That chain reaction builds the economy from a different angle as we have multi facets angles to the economy.

It is a disgrace for a whole President of a country trying shoes on some of these kids as fulfilling his promise. How many of these students will benefit from it? The government should have rather used the money to build libraries, equip them with books and computers, pay teachers handsomely to motivate them to teach (some of these teachers are not paid for months), build dormatories and equip them with toilet facilities(some of these students ease themselves in the bush for lack of toilet in their schools) and for the President of a whole nation like Ghana DISGRACEFULLY trying shoes on some of these kids, to me is a SHAME. I think Mahama should be ashamed of himself because this is just a photo op.

Some of you may not realize it but as someone who we to school without sandals all primary not show till form 3 in secondary school, I appreciate what Mahama has done. I wish a president would have done that for me. I remember in my Secondadry school days I had to get a permission slip to go dinning hall for food because all had was a "chaley wattey" Thank God for His grace and mercy that I made it through.

What a shame to humanity and cruelty to children. You should be happy and full of praise for the president of your country when he live by example coming down to the level of these kids who walk bare feet in hot burning sand to school, touch them and put sandals around their feet.
You want him to wear suit and stand in front of children of Ghana international or galaxy international to give laptop computers to praise him right? Would you have criticised him if he did that? Stop that hate and grow up leaving cloudy Busia mentality. Even in the US and Europe presidents go to the under privilege to help them with clothes and food . They even sometime come to remote African villages to hold these kids. Do you know yhe inspiration these families and kids will derive from the president's gesture? You are fortunate to have lied your way to the western world and are talking trash. Take your children or sibblings (if you have any) to these villages and let them walk bare footed on the hot sand and dangerous grasses to school.
For your information, people benefitting from this brilliant gesture also have families who are voters and their vote counts so go burn the sea.

Are those sandals what the parents of those students have bought for their children if the John Dramani Mahama NDC gov't had instituted the right policies so the parents of these students were gainfully employed? How about making sure you fix the dumsor that has collapsed businesses and rendered Ghanaians unemployed so they can get back to their jobs and provide for their children the Nikes, Jordans, Prada's, and expensive bags the NDC family and friends looting brigade buy for their kids?
How about fixing the collapsed economy to create employment opportunities and growth and address the purchasing power of parents? How about fixing the depreciating currency? How about curtailing the humongous officially sanctioned thievery, and ensuring that those looted funds are used to address the infrastructural deficit, create employment and jobs, so parents can provide for their children what they deserve?
Mediocrity and the mundane has lost it's appeal to attract even the gullible, and Ghanaians would answer to these matters at the ballot box in 2016.

I am very sad, indeed, in comatose to see President Mahama fitting sandals to school pupils!!!

Come to think about this: As a result of the foolishness of our politicians, we cancel negotiations with foreign firms and end up paying billions in judgment debts. Ironically, we forget about how the debts were incurred in the first place, BUT pride ourselves in seeking the best way to pay the debts.

Here is a President who claims to have "graduated" from the provision of "toilet" facilities - a basic necessity, BUT feels comfortable distributing sandals to pupils who sit under trees and dilapidated buildings to learn.

At times I am inclined to think Adams bit the apple and the original sin of stu[idity became Ghana.

This is a ploy to get votes. Give the parents jobs from a good economy and parents will buy the shoes for their kids. Mark this. Before you know, the NDC government would come and tell the world they used millions of dollars to buy the shoes and steal the rest for their political campaign.

How Capitalistic is Ghana's Economy? I'm dismayed at the mentality of some of you critics. Are you guys saying stupid things just to satisfy your Opposition Base or what?

Are you guys Robots following scripted material or just ignorant bloggers with mediocre knowledge on intricacies of the Socio-Economic Standing of Ghana! For goodness sake do know that Ghana is a Developing country with low GDP and Per Capita Income and that it's always the duty of the Government whether NDC or NPP to look out for the disadvantaged ?

Are the sanitary pads being provided. This is the President's big stuff. Well, I think he was referring to former President Rawlings. He was the one building and commissioning shit house.

Don't you all get the point? You can't profit too much from toilet provision as opposed to that from the millions of schoolkids feet. Imagine what changing sandals every year for our kids will yield in place of toilets that will need no maintenance and will be functional for years.

Just a few days ago this man stood at Bekwai in the Ashanti Region and said he is bigger than toilets and that local government can take care of that and a few days later you are doing politics with school sandals. Is the President not bigger that these ugly sandals. Why is he publicly disgracing the nation with these things when economy of the country is in trouble, currency dropping like leafs in the fall season, sad but doing politic with sandals? why cant the local government take care of the sandals. Oh Ghana, so is that what our forefathers sacrificed themselves to leave us a heritage and a future. God have mercy!!!
