This helicopter costs $6 million. Times 4 = $24 million. Which NDC thieves are pocketing the $76 million change?

Is this news at all? So john mahama has to unveil, cut and commission everything in ghana? Is this how to govern a nation? You build a toilet and you go to commission, you build a 6 classroom block and you go to commission so what are the use of this man's ministers and appointees? Aah !! I don't get this one. Please Ghanaians don't elect anyone from Bole Bamboi as a president any more, he is too disgraceful to be a president from the north. President Hilla Limann was an excellent man but P/NDC didn't give the man a chance, he was a diplomat and lived abroad precisely in western Europe and America so he knew what he was doing and what was good for his country.How do you take somebody trained in communications in Russia to do a good job? Look at how the guy is messing up everything, if Rawlings commissioned toilets in the 1900s does that mean we need to commission a helicopter not made in Ghana in the 2000s ? Where are we heading towards? We need a real leader who will think from the box not a mere co-incidences. NDC is a disgrace just kick them out.

Even obama's marine one helicopter doesn't cost $25mil a pop. I would have bought 100 helicopters for that price and use them security, medical transport, police, military, high level govt official travel in and around west Africa, etc. 4 helicopters for $100 mil is beyond me. I don't care which president bought. It's wasting money by not negotiating.

No matter what you do, people will talk ill about you. That especially is the act by the enemies within. This is a positive measure, and all nation around the world with such projects, take security measures as such for protection. We shall get there, with help of the enemies within or not. SHAME unto them.

Mr. President, kindly ensure the property is well secured not only by air but 24/7 physical security and protection too. The enemies of this nation are so power conscious that, they would go all length to even destroy it at the least opportunity. Remember the burning of national properties from 2009? God bless you for your kind heart for Ghana. 2016 is surely yours for the VICTORY!!!

Taking a look at the maintenance cost and jusdging from the poor maintenance culture of our state institutions I fear for the worse.I wish the government could have set up community watch dogs from all the communities around gas pipeline and give them good training on how to identify suspects or treats.I dont think any sane person will go and stand on the road and start digging for a pipeline to blow them up but rather any wrecker can just dig a tunnel from where ever to the pipeline and cause whatever damage he/she wants to thats why I dont think helicopters is not the answer.Maybe one will have been better to use in case of emergencies.But I believe this was an opportunity for some people to milk the nation looking at the way the cost have been inflated.And are we even going to moniter with the helicopter day and night and to talk of fuel cost.The Akosombe dam heve been secured all these years with good security and we should have tap from that.We dey rush too much.May be drones will have been better as somone said.

For lack of knowledge my people perish.People just heard that we bought 4 helicopters and they start jubilating without questioning the amount involve.Even how much does a normal fixed wing like the custom made presidential jet cost than just a common rotary wing.Watch out Ghanaians for your future is being washed away by greedy people who are evils in human skin.Open your eyes Ghanaians for your being sold back into slavery through excessive borrowing and sky rocketting debt.

U are also a big useless fool. Why dont u ask for the specification of the helicopters and go find out how much it cost? U guys think u are too smart. Think before u talk and stop talking before u think.
