    I am sad Ghana is flirting with IMF. They have been responsible for hardship, unemployment, lay offs since the time of Kwasi Botsway. Let someone name any country that IMF has helped. We are being pushed into an abyss. Kuffou ...

    The Mahama administration has done well and scored high marks in proper economic management. The cedi has stabilized and the inflation has fallen for the month of April. Ghana is better under Mahama.

    Mahama deserves four m ...

    You can't take the positive development currently taking place. We went there because we don't control everything, e.g, commodity prices. Economies in the world are linked somehow so what happens in China or Europe or America ...

    Presidents are not elected to sit down for IMF Officials to handle economic affairs always.

    That is a sign of a failed government and incompetent president.

  • Pelicles 7 years ago

    Some of you can read but do not understand what is at stake. If the IMF should come and give us a pat in the back for something we are doing in Ghana as a sovereign nation, then I am sorry to say that we have failed the exam ...

    HOW MUCH MONEY DID MAHAMA COME IN with?

    Don't make sweeping statements which are baseless.

    Going to the IMF is no worse than K4 taking us into HIPC.

    Despite the problems, this admin has undertaken massive developmen ...

  • Kwame Anshong 7 years ago

    What matters to use is that Ghana is transforming and we are grateful to Mahama for making that possible. His long term visions are beginning to bear fruits and Ghanaians will vote him for a second term.

    Some of such proje ...

    My friend, stop insulting our intelligence. As for the so called projects, it's not only Mahama who has done some important projects in Ghana. Every government does it so please don't drag us into that realm of absurdity. Wha ...

    Ghanaians are not under hardships as you claim. Things are getting better under Mahama. The basic determiner of hardship is the inflation rate as we speak the inflation has fallen an indication of what the IMF is saying.

    This is the very reason why Bawumia came out with his errant nonsense, last week. It was just another desperate attempt by the NPP to scuttle Ghana's efforts to secure the latest World Bank support. The NPP has a policy to f ...

    Idiots and arrogance who want to rule Ghana by all means don't wish better for the nation.They'll keep on slapping one another till kindom come.

  • Hanson 7 years ago

    You are the "against" because you don't have Ghana's interest in your heart. Why else would you praise a government for mismanaging our resources and later begging the IMF for assistance? Think dude.

  • Straight Talk 7 years ago

    Ghanaians should ask themselves a simple question: Amidst all these apparently positive "paper indicators" , why aren't we seeing some relief in the cost of living?

    This is not good. Why is the IMF helping the NDC government. I suspect the IMF doesn't want the NPP to win.

  • Hanson 7 years ago

    Don't be a partisan idiot. This is not about NPP and NDC. The IMF don't give a damn about who wins or lose elections. Their main interest is the loan and the interest. They see our leaders as fools with little brains.
