MMT Bussed NDC Supporters To Cape Coast
August 16, 2016
It has finally emerged that the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) bussed its supporters from all the 275 constituencies in the country to its campaign launch in Cape Coast, the Central Regional capital, at the weekend.

The impression had been created as though all the party supporters who converged on the Cape Coast Sports Stadium, where the event was held, travelled there on their own volition.

This position was reinforced by Communications Minister, Dr Edward Omane Boamah, yesterday when he spoke on Asempa FM’s afternoon political programme.

But documents cited by DAILY GUIDE indicate that the party indeed took buses from the state-owned Metro Mass Transit (MMT) Limited to convey the supporters there without paying a dime.

A copy of a Memorandum written and signed by the Assistant Traffic Operations Manager (ATOM) of MMT, who is in-charge of Hiring and Special Services, Mustapha Jumah, dated August 11, 2016 under the headline, ‘National Hiring Service to Depot Managers,’ and copies sent to the Traffic Operations Manager, directed that buses should be released to the NDC.

“Kindly release buses to the National Democratic Congress as per the attached schedule to convey people from their various constituencies to Cape Coast on August 13, 2016 and return on August 14, 2016.”

Even though the campaign launch was a political programme, the Assistant Traffic Operations Manager described the event as a ‘national assignment.’

Interestingly, however, the party failed to make payment for the buses, deferring payment to a later day as indicated in the Memo which stated, “This is a national assignment and the service will be paid later.”

Attached to the Memo was a list of party coordinators in the various regions with their telephone numbers for the Depot Manager to call and locations where the buses would pick the party foot-soldiers for the event.

It is believed that each of the 275 constituencies was assigned at least an MMT bus.

Considering the fact that the request for the buses was coming from the ruling government, the Metro Mass boss issued strict instructions to all the Depot Managers to “endeavour to perform the service without fail.”

Even though the new Cape Coast stadium has 15,000 seating capacity, the NDC claims that 60,000 supporters were there to witness the event.

Will John Dramani Mahama draw the nexus between infrastructure development and the renewal of the mandate of an incumbent President and his ambitions which he drew so eloquently, in 2008, and whether it still holds true today?
Many a person in his NDC party and gov't have spoken to it including Carl Wilson. Would President John Dramani Mahama please care to elaborate on that nexus and what it means when he says infrastructure development under him has been unprecedented with particular emphasis on the adjective 'mediocre'. We believe it will be very therapeutic especially when over 70% of Ghanaians are of the strongest conviction yet, Ghana has moved so far in the wrong direction, and are demanding change which is imminent with regards to him being booted out of office strongly and massively.
Also would John Dramani Mahama care to expatiate on the issue of the Montie 3 within the context of what he seeks to propagate about the NPP party wit respect to intolerance, violence, verbal abuse etc, etc which notable organizations such as MFWA and the UN have chimed in concerning what he has presided over and rolled out from that NDC party?

NDC president Mahamah has been praising himself all the time with what the things that his government has done.Because he thinks Ghanaians are fools,he don't want anyone to asked questions about accountability. It would be nice to account for all the works done. Then every Ghanaian will know how much you spent on every project. But if you just campaign to the good people of Ghana I have done this or that, I tell you point blank that you will be in a fools paradise.Ghanaians are not as foolish as your NDC members. Come what may, Mahamah and your group of theives will lose this coming elections. If truly you have done a good job for the country, let the people of Ghana judge and stop praising yourself. It is only a fool who will do something for his country with the country's money and come out to praise himself. A fool will always remain a fool , Mahamah and all his NDC supporters are idiots. There is nothing better in the NDC apart from stupid talks.The president who encouraged wrongdoing Aboa like that.

Mr Mahama, bashing NPP and Nana Akufo Addo is not a campaign message. People have their own opinions about you or Nana Addo already, so spare us what you personally think about NPP and Nana.

Mahama you're simply very INCOMPETENT and CORRUPT and here are but a few evidence:

The dubious Mass Transit deal which cost the job of Ms. Dzifa.

The SADA gargantuan corruption.

The Ford Explorer BRIBE for contract for the Burkinabe national.

The $260 million dollar cost of Ghana embassy WALL. A wall which is ONLY compose of cement, sand, gravel, iron rods and labour costing several million of US dollars? Come on, Mr Mahama, Ghanaians have every right to tell you to get lost somewhere in Nsawam PRISON.

Under your useless watch, viable programs like NHIS and GYEEDA just went off the roof. Ask pregnant women if they can still tap into the NHIS under your watch? Are you not shameless to ask them to still give you their mandate?

Armed robbery is endemic in ALL TOWNS and CITIES in Ghana with impunity. Citizens have no security to go about their businesses,and the DUMSOR menace you LIED to the country that it was over even makes life worst.

You keep repeating so called MASSIVE infrastructure development and roads by your govt: some roads in selected populated cities at a whooping cost in the neighbourhood of US$40 billion dollars has more to do with covert STEALING and politics than national interest. Again, only an IDIOT will be tricked by this simplistic politics laces with corruption.

You have given access to Chinese crook "miners" to destroy our already dwindled forest reserves and eco-system with impunity. As a result of this vision-less attitude Ghana may soon IMPORT wood for local needs. As at now, the neglect of Agriculture and destruction of farmlands means we IMPORT food, meat and poultry

Mahama, you're not only corrupt and incompetent but a JOKER. Not even the complete US embassy building in Ghana would come close to the cost of Ghana embassy's WALL in Burkina Faso. This is plain CORRUPTION and INSULT of our intelligence that ONLY a FOOL will overlook it among other irresponsible acts on your part and vote for you.

Mahama, you're a shameless individual to stand before Ghanaians and ask us to give you yet another mandate to continue your thievery and corruption with your gang. Just get lost Mr Mahama!!

Mr Mahama told a crowd of supporters that the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) had engendered “massive” infrastructural development in the following five sectors: water, power, education, healthcare, and roads.

Ghana like London is not going to be built in a day. Prez Mahama has laid the foundations for industrialization of Ghana. Eradicate aid and extreme poverty by encouraging SMEs in every family in enabling business environment, ICT application and expand the economy into a single competitive African economy. Pledge that to win the ELECTIONS.
