    Notoriety is rather associated with the NPP and not the NDC.

    The NPP has over the years proven to be a party that has taken sheer believe in notoriety. In the previous 2012 elections, against the backdrop that they have lo ...

    "... nothing reflects our irresponsibility and indiscipline more than the neglect of our environment."

    And we still blame the govt for our own irresponsible behaviour. Lack of trees means less rainfall.

  • Mrs Annoh 9 years ago

    This is nonsense when we are talking about trees you are talking about human beings How ignorant are you. Why can't you have a straight
    argument without mixing it with irrelevant issues. Think straight man.

    So Ghanaweb thinks the caption " Rawlings Barks" is appropriate right? Ghanaweb is a very irresponsible news website.

    Incompetent Mahama and his incompetent ministers. Listen to Ayiraga's shallow own words and judge for yourself.

  • busiah 9 years ago

    i sopport you for this statement.

  • KDD 9 years ago

    So Ghanaians are babies without common sense??? Is it everything the government must do. Doesn't everyone know that indiscriminate cutting of trees is not good for the environment. JJ should shut up. He talks to bloody much.

  • Kakae 9 years ago

    Well said but the proposed legislation is long overdue. You cannot cut a tree in Burkina Fasso and go scot-free. But the mandate should rather go to Forestry Commission and not Parks and Gardens

  • Jordys 9 years ago

    Rawlings barks! How very nonsensical to put!

  • Jordys 9 years ago

    Always ready to insult him even if he is right! And he's been right most of the time!

  • Charles 9 years ago

    You are right. This man has a good heart for Ghana even if some of his methods were questionable. Unlike the present crop of politicians he did not come to fleece Ghana.

    Apparantly, no country in the world develops without tax.
