The reaction of the chief imam and his spokesman also confirms that Islam and Muslims have no loyalty to the interests of the majority or the people of Ghana so we need to do everything to separate ourselves or ban Islam. Why is it that common sense does not factor in the equation and they rejoice at the reception of these terrorists . Is it because they now have the direct links to start undermining even more the society? They add insult to injury and claim we are xenophobic but refuse to recognize the fact that we would react in the same way when the USA chooses to start exporting their other criminals like pedophiles , mafia cosa nostra or simple psychopath murderers. If we were calm in receiving their criminals then that would be cause for worry so they should all shut the fuck up.
The silence of Nana on the matter of these gitmo ex cons is a confirmation that both he and Mahama have capitulated in the face of a greater force and i suspect the super power USA. Like it or not America has waded into our conflict and you will now see a structural transition of power to the NPP . Notice all of a sudden the dumsor is no issue , corrupt ministers resigning over trivialities without a fight ,etc. NDC has denied us our cutlass revolution and opted 9 months before the election a peaceful transition of power, my advice to you folks is to forget about politics and concentrate on rebuilding our country , heal the wounds and create unity as there is nothing we can do in the face of this meddling superpower. ITS OVER. As usual most of you forumers here will attack me since shooting the messenger or PHD pull him down quick is our greatest sport but a few months from now you will see i am right. Dont waste your energies on politics rather focus on some kind of business that will benefit you as a favorable climate without corruption is about to start

I DOUBT you understand the word "kwasia", because even the biggest FOOL knows that a new voters register would resolve the problems of double registration and alien registration rather than so called "auditing". So why spend money, time and energy in SECRETE, auditing the register, when new registration done OPENLY and witnessed by ALL stakeholders, with the SAME resources can restore confidence and therefore prevent potential conflict. The EC DEFINITELY is in cahoot with the government, but that is DANGEROUS and STUPID hence bad for Ghana's post-election security. Wisdom is SERIOUSLY lacking in NDC and EC.

What do you know about the powers of the EC, if any? Being INDEPENDENT does NOT mean EC making its own laws. The EC should follow the CONSTITUTION. The INDEPENDENCE of the EC just MEANS it should not compromise it's position as prescribed in the constitution, but that's exactly what the EC is doing with NDC, and the NPP trying to remind the EC to follow the law. Do you get it?

There is NOTHING in our constitution that says the EC should DICTATE to the electorate, or have its way. Failure on the part of EC to follow the law and the WILL of the people( constitution) will definitely result in conflict and legitimacy problems.

Classfmonline.com:

Your title, "NPP orders EC to stop voter roll audit" is totally false. The words "orders" and "directed" that you've used are bad choices and they are unnecessarily sensational. The NPP, or any political party for that matter, has no power and authority to order or direct the EC in their operations. What you've quoted the NPP Campaign Manager Peter Mac Manu as saying is the following: "“The NPP is by this response calling for the immediate stop to all processes involved in the so-called internal cleaning of the register ..." "Calling for" is not the same as ordering or directing. The NPP statement is, in fact, far from ordering and directing the EC.

This is poor reportage by you and it's more a reflection of the falling standard of education, especially given the kind of English language Ghanaian journalists in general write these days. Poor journalism indeed!

For the hypocritical ears of NPP and nana akuffo Addo

1. KUFOUR ADMITS TO CORRUPTION IN HIS GOVERNMENT AND SAYS HE WONT EXPOSE IT Unlike President Mahama who has taken action on allegations of corruption ,the NPP government under Kufour refused to either expose or punish corruption. At a 2003 NPP delegates conference held in Cape Coast, President Kufour in his address made excuses for corruption in his government. Among other justifications he said corruption "was as old as Adam" and that on a daily basis he and his officials are tempted with all manner of things including the proverbial apple of the Garden of Eden. He admitted that people come with all manner of inducements but he only tells them to go and come next time. He also stated that he was not going to expose corruption in his government lest his government collapses and what he did when instances of corruption came to his notice was to call the offending Minister or appointee and caution him not to repeat the corrupt act.

2. ESSEKU GATE In 2005, then National Chairman of the NPP, Mr Haruna Esseku was caught on tape telling NPP supporters that President Kufour was the chief recipient of kickbacks from contractors at the castle. He lamented that unlike in the past when he could go to the castle and have his car boot stashed with kickback funds, President Kufour was at the time withholding those funds and this affected his ability to provide resources for the running of the NPP. For this revelation Mr Esseku was held hostage and prevented from attending the NPP delegates conference at Legon that year.

3. HOTEL WAAWAA In the first term of President Kufour and his NPP government, Gizzelle Yadzi revealed that she had been asked by Kufour to negotiate the purchase of an US $ 8 million Hotel for him. Of course later we were told that it was Chief Kufour and not President Kufour who bought the hotel. Chief Kufour had no business track record prior to his father becoming President and had also not demonstrated any capacity to raise US $ 8 million dollars to buy such a hotel.

4. LOOTING OF STATE LANDS The looting and sharing of state lands is still fresh on our minds. A recount of the sale of government bungalows and public lands to Jake Obetsebi Lamptey, President Kufour, Kwodwo Mpiani and other NPP Ministers and cronies points to evidence of corruption. Jake Obetsebi Lamptey bought his official bungalow which sat on over an Acre of prime Land at Ridge for a paltry GHC 390, 000 when the property is valued at USD 2,000,000. Documents available from the lands commission show clearly that from President Kufour, his Ministers, party functionaries and cronies all bought state lands at ridiculously low prices. The former international students hostel land was carved out and shared among more NPP Ministers, party functionaries, and cronies.

5. DIVERSION OF 6O BILLION CEDIS OF TAX PAYERS MONEY TO FUND NPP PROPAGANDA MACHINE A 2009 audit report revealed that up to 60 billion cedis of the tax payer's money taken from the TOR debt recovery levy, the HIPC etc. was used fund a so called communication strategy which was only a euphemism for a conduit used to siphon state funds into the NPP campaign. The auditors could not find details of this strategy or how it was executed except dubious payments to shady groups such as BLOW, PRIM, and FIRST RESPONDERS. Most of the people who make the loudest noise about corruption these days (Anthony Karbo, John Boadu and Samuel Abu Jinapor) are on a list submitted to National Security under the NPP for these payments to be made. This looting of the TOR coffers contributed in no small measure towards the difficulties it currently faces.

6. E.O GROUP SHARES IN JUBILEE FIELD While 25 million Ghanaians had to make do with only 13.6% stake in the Jubilee field. Two NPP top shots, George Owusu and Ambassador Edusei were given 3% shares which amounts to a colossal US$300 million. It is instructive to note that in one of the Wikileaks cables President Kufour was quoted as having told a US senator that his interests in Ghana's oil are being coordinated by Mr Kwabena Darko of Darko Farms. When investigations were carried out into the EO group's affairs by Ghanaian authorities, it emerged that their company address was the same as the address of Darko Farms! The explanations given for how EO group came to own such a significant stake in the Jubilee field do not wash. We are told that they found Kosmos and brought them in to discover oil for Ghana. It is strange that GNPC which was formed in 1983 and which has all the expertise one can think of in the oil industry could not find a partner to discover oil but it took a two-man company with no experience or track record in the oil industry to find a partner for us. Even stranger is the fact that the EO group was allowed to be part of the joint operating agreement signed among the partners in the jubilee field when they did not meet the basic requirements to be part of such a venture. First they have no track record of having being part of such a venture in the past neither did they possess the financial capacity to make good their part of the cash calls which are necessary for the operation of the jubilee field. As it turned out they were carried by Kosmos and seeing as Kosmos is no father Christmas, the conclusion that can be drawn is that the EO group shares was made a conditionality for giving Kosmos the exploration license. We recall that Franklyn Cudjoe and his so-called think tank were loud in their defence of this unconscionable action when public outcry greeted the exposure of this deal.

7. DAN BOTWE QUESTIONS SOURCE OF FUNDS FOR LAVISH NPP FLAGBEARERSHIP CONTEST In 2007 Mr. Dan Botwe, former General secretary of the NPP and Former Information Minister expressed worry about the ostentatious nature of the campaigns that were being waged by seventeen aspirants who contested for the 2007 flag bearer slot of the NPP. In an interview with Citi FM in 2007, he lamented how the NPP in opposition could not afford to purchase even flags and T shirts and yet in power it was possible for 17 people to spend so much money on a flag bearer race. Some aspirants could even afford to charter aircrafts for campaign tours and hire aircrafts to fly their banners in the air. Hackman Owusu Agyeman himself an aspirant in that contest also bitterly complained about the extravagance that was displayed in that campaign. Where did the NPP get all that money from if not through corrupt kickback collection?

8. GHANA @ 50 After spending a whopping US$ 75 million dollars on Ghana's 50th birthday celebration, it emerged that Dr Wireko Brobey, Chief executive of the Ghana @50 secretariat made cash payments to supposed contractors and service providers in polythene bags without any supporting documentation.

9. AMOATENG HEROIN SCANDAL NPP MP for Nkoranza North was arrested in the United States of America for trafficking large quantities of heroin and is currently languishing in in jail in the US. Amoateng was a key NPP financier and received his party's full support in the wake of his arrest.

10. SEKYI HUGHES LOOTS HIS BUNGALOW Former speaker of Parliament under the NPP Ebenezer Begyina Sekyi Hughes when leaving his official bungalow looted it empty. He carried along all the curtains, furniture and fixtures in the house. Some media reports had it that Mr Sekyi Hughes even took away flower pots.

Just like their late fathers and uncles- very arrogance and destructive. They want all Ghanaians to listen to them and obey whatever they say whether we like it or not. Just listen to them ORDERING THE EC not to carry out their constituential responsibilities but to obey what they will say. What sort of characters are they at all. They will not allow Ghana to develop if they are not in control of affairs. I wish a war breaks out finally so that we seize that opportunity and drive them out of Ghana. That at least will quarantee total peace in mother Ghana. Enough is enough of these nation wreckers!

What does this picture really show? Jake still in-charge? Well, it might have been an old picture portraying the NPP Administrators in conference. However, on the case in point, Mac-Manuh is not offering anything new to improve on the situation regarding the Voters Register.

If he is saying the EC ought to stop the auditing to allow certain consensus on the modalities to clean the Register to be established among the Political Parties and the EC, why would he then reiterate that the NPP would only accept the creation of a new Register?

He should make up his mind. It is such intransigence that seems to have driven the EC to begin auditing the Register on its own, and, ostensibly, in performance of its normal duties.

By the way, is it not a formal routine duty of the EC's to audit the Register? We've to admit that the NPP or any other Party cannot order the EC to stop its normal duties.

What the NPP and the other Parties could do is demand transparency that would allow them to examine how the auditing is done and whether it has been fair and appropriate.

The EC, for instance, has the right to eliminate any deceased persons out of the Register before the Elections. Would the Parties not appreciate the sorting out of any remaining double-registration to filter out the duplicates that all sides might have long agreed that they exist?

Why would the EC need the Parties' permission or supervision to perform these routine duties?

The Parties already have copies of the Voters Register. So, they could match them with the audited version of the EC's to see who got cleaned out and whether the cleaning was deserving.

Why do we always have to make a mountain out of a mole? The tactic by some NPP folks to get the Electorate believe that the Elections have never been fair, and that the NDC has already put in place plans to steal the Elections before the Elections even happen is most defeatist, counterproductive, and suggests a lack of confidence in the Opposition to win the people's mandate.

All the Opposition has to do is cross-check any alterations of the Register reflecting the audit, and ensuring that its genuine members of the Electorate are not unduly eliminated, and that the EC is not allowing the NDC add any ineligible voter to the records.

That and any other Supreme Court recommended guidelines to prevent the problems with the last Elections should be reasonably sufficient to usher us into a fair General Election.

We need not have any rabble-rousing to pre-judge the Elections and sow distrust in the system before it is even applied. That is the tactic of the incorrigible hooligan, and we must all unite to avoid that.

Long Live Ghana!!!

Again why should the NPP even go further to ask the EC to stop the voter roll audit? Is it because of the 200,000 voters issue dubios game they played in the Ashanti region which they could be exposed when this process of auditing goes ahead? Yes, they are scared of the exposure.

The evil that men do lives after them; this proverb seems to be working against the NPP dubious behaviours in the political field. If there is nothing to hide why then asking the EC to stop a process which is in the best interest of our nation.

Is the NPP the only people in Ghana? Naturally it is about Ghana and not about any group of people that had formed a party. Period.

Hey Mac, the EC is behaving like the thief that gives no warning and snoops into your house in the ween hours of the morning to do the job. Before your snoring stops, you're guaranteed a void in the house. If you're lucky to get a glimpse or corner him/her, there comes with the speed of a Bolt the mosquito(Aseidu} and sloppy pig (Koku) buzzing and snorting their way in defense of their messenger(Alata Osei).

Fellow Ghanaians ,please ask yourself that, why is that most of the citizens of Ghana are requesting for a new voters register just to avoid any misunderstanding between various parties ,right? The voters register belongs to Ghanaians not for any particular party, so Ec listen to your fellow Ghanaians if you really love this country. Ec for my advice invite the various political parties, tell them what you wanna do to the register, how are you going to do it, which company has to do that, and after that how is it going to be reviewed ,before elections. Please don't invite elements of confusion but create love and respect, thank you and may God,Allah bless you
