The only avowed enemy of Christians is Satan and so if Muslims have issues with traditional authorities, the best place Muslim youth should have attacked was the shrines of the traditional deities and not six ( Christian churches. This was deliberate and not a mistake. What would have happened afterwards if Christians had retaliated? Does it mean that Muslims are agents of Satan who has vowed to destroy the church? This is why Mahama should have condemned the Muslim youth for this needless provocation but unfortunately he did not. Is it because he is happy Muslims are destroying the church or he is brainless as a leader.

This Pratt has sold his conscience
Author: Efo Kwaawaaku Canada.....

If that is the case MPS are not special, then I'll like to ask Pratt is John Mahama special? as well as the ministries who have 24 hours protection by police even Mahama wife, this Pratt is turning to be an idiot nowadays trust me, Canada prime minister can go to hockey game with his son sitting in not VIP seat but in Ghana wisdom demands that 270 plus MPS need to be protected till proper security measures whereby our democracy has been rooted, and police officers are neutral have guts to invite and open investigation against ministers even president about corruption, look at Dogbe can't police question him?our security and judicial system is what destroying Ghana

Ghana's JSS and SHS systems instituted by JJ Rawlings need to be overhauled soon to reverse the daily disgrace to Ghanaians around the world. It is sickening to read some comments made In English by readers on Ghanaweb platform specifically. Instead, why don't they write their comments in a local language which they understand and are comfortable with ?

It is indeed the people if Ghana and not the EC or anyone else that makes him a president of Ghana.

Mahama is not serious, these AFRC, PNDC/NDC boys turned president and ministers have zero standards. Ghana is not your village Bole Mr. Mahama and the mandate you carry is on behalf of the people of Ghana who elected you and not some inheritance of your family or some leadership in Bole where both humans and goats drink at the same ponds. Mahama is small minded indeed and surrounded by idiots if he thinks Uhuru did not consider it a big deal, just because he showed no obvious reaction simply suggests Uhuru has class as a leader and one would expect this mediocre leader Mahama to think but rather feels exonerated going round spewing his lack of understanding of the job he has, pathetic.

It's only the NPP bunch that is making a big deal out of this unfortunate saga due to their secret involvement through an enemy governmental staff at the very heart of the presidency. Our check revealed that most of the invited delegates didn't even bother reading the brochure through and through since the day was just as humid and hot like every other day out there.

So, they instead used the compendium to fan themselves and enjoy the parade. Others, like, President Uhuru Kenyatta and Mahama saw the mistakes and ignored them as confirmed by his excellency here.

However, it was these same conniving Kukurudu operatives who already knew what was up even before the event, went viral to showcase the anomalies before their numerous mushroom media houses just to ridicule the presidency after the show.

Well, your mole is fired now, so job well done, fellows.
