DR BAWUMIA: _____-----International rating agency Moody’s has not upgraded Ghana’s sovereign credit rating contrary to assertions by the Mahama administration to that effect, the vice-presidential nominee of the main opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has said. Speaking at the launch of the NPP’s 2016 manifesto at the International Trade Fair Centre in Accra on Sunday, 9 October, Dr Bawumia said Ghana’s sovereign credit rating got downgraded to (B-) under President Mahama despite having oil revenue at its disposal, from (B ) positive (without oil under the NPP). Moody's Investors Service recently affirmed the Government of Ghana's issuer and senior unsecured rating at B3 and changed the outlook to stable from negative. Dr Bawumia, however, noted that nothing had changed except the revised outlook. He said, in fact, international rating agencies like Moody’s, Fitch and Standard & Poor’s now have basically the same credit rating for Ghana. “The recent revision of Ghana’s outlook from B- negative to B- stable; that is the equivalent of B3” with the revision of the outlook from negative to stable, “has resulted in a misinterpretation by this NDC government and President Mahama that Ghana’s credit rating has been upgraded.” “This is in fact not the case. Moody’s did not upgrade Ghana. Ghana’s rating under Moody’s is still B-. It is only the outlook that has been revised and that is not equivalent to a change in rating or a rating upgrade. “Sometimes one wonders whether they don’t read or they don’t understand. So, let me give Mr President a free piece of advice: ‘Mr President, please desist from embarrassing yourself by stating that Moody’s has upgraded Ghana.’ Your economic management team should explain that difference to you. “The Mo Ibrahim 2016 report on governance shows that on virtually all key development indicators such as safety, rule of law, human rights, economic opportunities, infrastructure, business environment, human development, health and public management, Ghana is worse off today than it was 10 years ago,” Dr Bawumia said.

Bravo EC for streamlining the number of Presidential Candidates for the pending elections.
Now, if the C.I. 91 is a just a mere suggestions; let's know. Otherwise, if you are going to play by it, update your own website and clear all the defunct parties out of there.
What're United Renaissance Party and United Ghana Movement doing on the EC's website?
Otherwise, I 'm with you on today's ruling like white on rice.
How often does the EC updates it website?

At least there is one official bold enough to stand out and do the right thing. There is too much lawlessness and crass stupidity around.

Charlotte, should resign effective Immediately! She is incompetent and has no idea what she is doing.
Everything she is doing points to the fact that there will not be a free and fair election. We are less than 60 days from the elections and she is still at the stage of disqualifying candidates. Charlotte, I would like to see your credentials and how you got this job. Truly, the ignorant is tearing our dear nation apart and nothing works in Ghana. No law, no order!

Mr Ayariga was disqualified because 2 of his subscribers also subscribed for another candidate. If these 2 people are disqualified, doesn't this reduce the number of subscribers for the other candidate hence his disqualification like Ayariga and Papa Nduom? The big question is: WHO IS THE OTHER CANDIDATE? Why the EC failed to tie him to the crime? Why only Ayariga?
