The writer of this article does not know what time it is. He or she is still living in the stone age era. Mills delivered even though he term was cut short by death. Within three years, he had established two public university. If this is not competence, then I wonder what will be. He brought calm to the presidency. Please come again. You can bamboozle some of us and your statement that ''I voted him'' is thrash and will not wash with intelligent minds. Who is ato kwamena dadzie, that comedian? Can laze the shoes of President Mills? Can you the write laze the shoes of President Mills. I will end because coward as you are, you did not use your name or is that your name with a dot com? Let us know your name so that, we can make a better analysis of your views, pedestrian as they may be.

Late Atta Mills was a complete failure however I won't blame him for his performance based on evidence that later came out.The man was dead(i.e. terminally ill) before he became President,the Ahwois manipulated him.

The writer of this article thinks we are like the animals on the Animal Farm (fairytale ) and therefore cannot remember what it was like before Atta Mills took over. Prof Mills started his presidency more brilliantly than any other leader Ghana has ever had in her history, with the exception of Dr Kwame Nkrumah (probably). Maybe Prof MIlls' shortened reign is a sign that the development of Ghana was never meant to be. He was the one that could have brought us real development.

THE WRITER OF THIS ARTICLE has said nothing wrong about the late Prof Atta Mills, the ex president of Ghana.He was saying the truth,nothing but the truth.The NDC as a cult saw the ex president as an outsider and therefore refused to take vital instructions from him,and that caused a lot of harm in the course of his Government.He was simply a good man and if the NDCs so called MBHs had given him free hands to operate, he might have done better in his short term in office before his call, than he did.In any case, some big wigs in the party have questions to answer in his death.May he rest in the bosom of Abraham.

Little minds will continue to talk about the health of a dead man. How strong are those living. The tables have turned and the living are now crying to highest heavens. Like it or not, President Mills performed wonderfully well.

Atta Mills was not a rabid dog biting people here and there and boasting that he will show people where power lies. He was a father, brother and uncle to all Ghanaians.

Don't forget how he begged Obama to let him
spend a weekend at the White House and Camp David!

His eventual END became a "comedy of pathetic errors!"

Let us give him some time of rest. He was a good man but fell in bad,indeed, a bad company. Four years after the sudden death of the President of Ghana, ordinary citizens also, his family,do not know the cause of his death. It is perhaps, a classified information. Really sad.

A whole long-time Professor and JJ's VP and you blame his "bad company"?

How old was JJ when he and his malcontents
hi-jacked a "coup" and later transformed it into a political party and became Prez for 8-years?

Your sentiments cannot change the status of the man. He stood tall in his own way and no amount of jealousy can change that.

Man smoked and drank himself sick, had extra marital affairs, and as president, presided over a looting brigade. He attempted to blame the opposition for his scheme to loot Ghana through dubious judgement debts. He claims he found God in his final, sick years and now you guys want to say what? Who is jealous of such a person?

The whole article is full of trash. In the first place you did not vote for Atta Mills. That is a blatant lie just to create the impression of some objectivity. Can you come again and name MOST of the projects you claim Kuffuor introduced but were neglected by the NDC. You talk about S&Z but you forget to mention the embarrassing Hair dressing saloon loan!!! You talk of booming economy under Kuffuor but you fail to mention that they virtually had no responsibility as the HIPC status meant we were not servicing debts, even the Dutch government took responsibility of paying for the School Feeding Program (SFP), and the government could only preside over a health insurance scheme which was not national, but could only be assessed locally. Even with that there were numerous problems. By the way can you tell us why the Dutch government pulled out of the SFP in 2008? It was because of thievery. Today the SFP has expanded six fold, and is being paid for from the budget. Government has take responsibility to go for money to invest in massive infrastructural development never seen in the history of this country while it continues to service it's debts. Today the NHIS is truly national where one can access health everywhere, and hospital utilization has increased from mere 9 million in 2008 to over 29 million annually. All these are being managed from the National budget in addition to the wage bill which rose from around 3 billion cedis to over 11 billion cedis today. NPP are surely good managers of a HIPC situation where the country acrues over 3 billion dollars in benefit and the money is used to rehabilitate a few schools, build toilets in unaccessible bushes, and disgraceful label them "HIPC Benefits". Please come again because there are more we can put out there for the public to know about the performance of the NPP. These are people who sign agreements they do not even understand : Osafo Marfo and the German contract he claimed he did not comprehend because he could not read German. These idiots have disturbed for too long, and it is time innocent Ghanaians they have been deceiving and hoodwinking are made to know who they are. Come again, Mr columnist. Tweaaa!!!!
