NANA ADDO'S LEADERHIP WITH BAWUMIA IS EXCELLENT. NANA IS OUR POLITICAL MESSIAH!! WE WILL PATIENTLY WAIT FOR HIM TO COME AND LIBERATE US FROM OUR ECONOMIC OPPRESSORS.WE CAN'T PUT OUR TRUST IN THESE YOUNG NDC THIEVES (WITH NO WORK RECORD) WHO WANT TO LIVE LIKE KINGS OVERNIGHT, OWNING JETS, BIG MANSIONS, ROLLS ROYCE, DATING MODELS ETC. AT THE EXPENSE OF THE POOR. BEING A PRESIDENT REQUIRES THE USE OF BRAIN NOT BRAWN. A PRESIDENT DOES NOT "THROW" PICK AXE!!! WHO CAN DO THE JOB BETTER THAN NANA, AT THIS TIME IN OUR HISTORY, WHERE GREEDY CORRUPT , SHARP TEETH ROTTEN PLANK NDC SMALL BOYS, PARADING AS POLITICIANS, HAVE PLUNDERED OUR RESOURCES TO THE BONE, THAT OUR OIL ECONOMY INHERITED FROM THE GREAT KUFFOUR HAS HAD NO IMPACT ON THE LIVES OF THE ORDINARY CITIZENS OF OUR COUNTRY???? LONG LIVE GHANA!! LONG LIVE NANA ADDO. MORE GREASE TO YOUR ELBOWS!! EVERY THIEF IN GHANA, TODAY, IS SCARED OF BOLD AND MIGHTY NANA ADDO.

For a country borrowing so much how do you give away GHc 1 million to one person for service in government. I don't care if these people came up with the cure of malaria, ebola or made Ghana an utopia, as government employees you don't get ex gratia awards. Government workers in the rich countries who have invented technology or researched deadly diseases for the world to benefit are not even rewarded this way.

Let us rid our country off this friends and family willy nilly rewards. It was a BIG mistake for Kufour to have started this nonsense and he indeed got the back lash for it.
The power to do these awards should be taken away from board members which unfortunately in Ghana is usually made up of cronies of the government in power. The board decisions become more political than sensible.

The ex-gratia award to Tsatsu Tsikata was a COMPENSATION for his representation at the Supreme Court in the constitutional election issue in 2012.

The incompetent MAHAMA GOVERNMENT could not have singled out Tsikata for the award. Hence the administration added three others to look as if it was ex-gratia.

If Ex-Gratia payment exists in government and public sector administration in Ghana with governing standard of rules and critetion then the rules should not be honored and applied indiscriminately. First of all we should understand why certain people with requisite qualities are employed into CEO positions. Services in such positions, ranging from 12 to 21 years is no mean service.

According to Kweku Baako, "senior executives of the of GNPC who worked during the Kufour administration were denied the same package..."

It is wrong and not equitable decision to deny the CEO in Kufour's administration as well as the former officers' Ex-Gratia payments. Rather this neglect decision can be referred to as lack of equity. Whether one group discovered oil, mud or nothing, is immaterial - All Ex-gratia payments should be honored.

Kweku described Kufour administration senior officers thus: who WORKED HARD. How could evaluate the work done by the former CEO and Kufour's CEO. To me, it shows his bias mindset.

Hahaha! You are exhibiting the classic characteristics of NDC members. Herd mentality and totally incapable of analyzing things on their own, and readily towing the line of their masters. When your master is sick, you tell people that "we are sick". When Tsatsu steals money that belongs to you and the people, you adamantly defend him because "master" can do no wrong. You guys are like dogs that have been trained to defend their masters. They will pounce based on their instincts without thinking. May God restore your thinking faculty to you and open your eyes in the name of Jesus. Amen

01 Dec 2015: Mahama & Obasanjo openly Insult Each Other at Global African Forum (just Google).
'There was near pandemonium and confusion at the Annual Global African Investment Forum held in Westminster, Central London after a heated exchange between Ghana’s President John Mahama and former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo degenerated into open insults.

This was due to General Obasanjo openly accusing the Ghanaian president and his government of blackmailing and collecting bribes from Nigerian businessmen in Ghana, buying numerous properties in Nigeria and South Africa and financially contributing 12 million dollars to Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign last year.'

This infuriated President Mahama who lost his temper and pointing his finger , called General Obasanjo an ” idiot” and a “stupid buffoon”.

It took other ministers present as well as Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni to calm tempers and usher President Mahama to a nearby room'
Is this how low our presidency has been reduced to? So, couldn't Pres Mahama have denied the accusations by Obasanjo with hard facts without resorting to insults? Do you recall the huge billboards erected in Accra for Goodluck, before the Nigerian elections?
What did he say about Mugabe's recent comments about his behaviour as an African leader? His conduct falls below statesmanship manners, regardless of the provocation in a public forum.

Mahama is a disgrace to Ghana and Africa-Robert Mugabe..

The AU chairman made these comments in relation to the hasty decision Ghana’s President took in sympathizing with the French over the recent rebel attacks which led to a massacre.

“Mahama did little or nothing as an Ecowas chairman in helping curb the rebellion situation in Nigeria and the rest of African countries suffering in the hands of rebels on this continent. And the next thing I hear is Mahama is up condemning French attacks while he has not started or finished the attacks on his own personality for the mess he has done to his country and people.

I want that man to first address his own problems before extending hands. Or is it one of his usual means of deceiving the ignorant whites for loans which he never uses to build anything for his people but spend on himself and sympathizers. In fact that man is a disgrace to his people and Africa”.

My bro, don't forget that to be a member of NDC foot soldiers, one has to acquire certain traits. They lose their thinking caps, and are always ready to defend their masters' loots while they themselves languish in abject poverty. To give them a dose of reality, you have to literally reprogram their brains, and that's the insurmountable problem we face here in Ghana.

Kweku Baako has put his short memory or lack of historical literature review on display. Was it not under the same Kufour administration and the Ghana oil discovery saga the EO group of two Ghanaians were able to wrestle 3 percent lifetime benefit from the oil proceeds? Where in the civilized industrialized world do we know of citizens making the kind of money of a finders fee from a government property? By the way what is a Gh 1 million cedi relative to the millions of dollars the Kufour administration squandered on Ghana@50 even while spending US $4 billion on toilets? I expect Kweku Baako to put on his thinking cap and not get on the bandwagon of hysteria. Look here; for a population of 30 million Ghanaians it would have been far more equitable to give every Ghanaian US $100 for use to acquire and install toilets at home than for Kufour to have squandered in the name of progress.

Let's assume for the sake of argument that the Kufuor administration wasted or even stole from Ghana. What do you think should have been done to those in the Kufuor administration who stole Ghana's funds?

And do you think it is OK to think that because Kufuor wasted or stole funds from public coffers, it is OK for the NDC administration to do the same?

It seems you do with that kind of mindset.I wonder the kind of warped thinking you have. Or just maybe, you do not even have a thought of your own. You sheepishly feed on what the NDC goons feed you.

Example, that $4 billion monies wasted on toilets is an instance of you being fed with nonsense by ignoramus NDC MP.

People like you should not be allowed to vote. You are not fit to analyze national issues.
