WE ARE TALKING ABOUT OVER 37 BILLION DOLLAR DEBT AND THE RESULT IS WHAT GHANAIANS ARE GOING THROUGH TODAY. LOOK AT OUR ELECTRICITY AND WATER TARIFFS AND DANGEROUS ZACHAEUS STEALTH TAXES "NA SIKA NO WO HE"???? MY CHILDREN ARE NOT GOING TO PAY. WE WILL VOTE YOU OUT, COLLECT OUR STOLEN MONEYS FROM NDC AND JAIL YOU ALL NO MATTER WHICH PLANET YOU COME FROM. ASIEDU NKETIA IS SCARED OF HIS DUBIOUS BUI DAM DEAL!!!!! NDC HAS ABANDONED THEIR PROBITY, TRANSPARENCY, INTEGRITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY SLOGAN. WE WILL NEVER AGREE, WE MUST CARRY IT TO THEM. OTHERS , I REPEAT, WERE KILLED BY NDC. ACHEAMPONG, AKUFO , AFRIFA AND A HOST OF OTHERS LOST THEIR LIVES. THOUSANDS LOST THEIR PROPERTIES AND BANK BALANCES. WE NEED A DEMOCRATIC HOUSE CLEANING EXERCICE IN 2017 TO BRING SANITY INTO OUR GOVERNANCE SYSTEM. WHAT IS THE NDC AFRAID OF?? IF THEY SERVED THE COUNTRY AND THEY ARE CLEAN???? WHEN DZIFA WENT TO EWELAND, SHE DID NOT TELL THEM WHAT SHE HAS ACHIEVED FOR GHANA AS A TRANSPORT MINISTER BUT ASKED THEM TO PROTECT HER BECAUSE SHE HAS CAUSED FINANCIAL LOSS TO THE STATE. WHAT AN INSULT TO THE INTELLIGENCE OF THE PEOPLE OF VOLTA REGION? ??????

Why do we always go for loans to develop our infrastructures - what happens to the revenues of our vast resources. Ghana has more resources than Japan by far but we fool heartedly mismanage our resources through our shady, fraudulent and crooked outlook. We are so inept as a people we can't even be self sufficient in food production given our fertile landscape and have to import basic foodstuffs like chicken!

Yes, l do understand your cry of why do we go for loans for our infrastructural developments. This may be known by many with many reasons but l want to know of your views concerning how we can stop going for loans and yet be able to carry on with our infrastructural things.

In your reaction to this piece l sincerely expect you to put down few good things that could help us to achieve the goals expected in the area of the so called infrastructural projects which is always link to loans.

When tackling this subject just make sure nervousness and emotion do not take over your thoughts so that you can list very good things that could be followed so as to enable us gain the upper hand in this area of loan for projects issues.I do see that almost all our infrastructural projects from our independence time till today are all loan related.

In your research see if we can survive without loans because l think your cry ought to be answered so that we will have a clear picture of it, which will surely help us to be steady about the issue of loan for insfrastructural projects just like our president is in Japan for such a loan for the projects mentioned.

And someone wants me to believe that a president like JDM is incompetent? Then I don't understand the word incompetent and I probably don't want to understand. People who have traveled across the Volta lake at Dambai and yeji will appreciate the wisdomof our great president and his care for the ordinary Ghanaian. The number of people who perish in that lake each year and the frustration people go through in trying to cart foodstuff from the north to thesouth is uniunimaginable. This is why JDM will win again. Let no one talk about any rigging nonsense and run to the supreme court. The man is doing what they could not do in their 8 years of Kufuor misrule. Thank you JDM. You have my vote again!

Stomach thinkers are always acrimonious
whenever future thinkers make a step forward towards advancements but how do we understand advancement as we choose to be stomach thinkers ? A government whose vision is to build a technologically advanced society is what the new era need but not a government with divisive ideology. How do we term a country as advanced ? Is Akanism or Ayigbeism the clarification of modern advancement ?
A country that is advanced has reached a high level of industrial or technological development which of course is the creator of wealth.
People who do not see the usefulness of developmental projects do not belong to the new world. GO AHEAD JM.
You are a future thinker.
