As far as what I think of Tractor Ayariga, I have no regret insulting him because he doesn't deserve any respect if he doesn't respect others.
At least President Mahama respect Ghanaians despite the fact that his administration has failed miserably.

ayariga has done nothing for his native tribeswomen who are kayayo head porters in accra and kumasi and sleep in the open on the streets. He claims he went to harvard and is a lawyer, i bet you he just did a few months course there and is inflating the credentials to "sound big". If he is that well trained, why is he not answering public accountability questions? That is how arrogant some of the NPP guys became and they paid for it in 2008. I blame mahama for relying in kola-not chewers like this guy who refuses to prove that he did not waste tax payers money. If he is a lawyer why is he not practicing in court to prove he it, instead of living on the public largesse like an incompetent professional who wants easy money through public service.

Boss, I will advise you to make amendments when writing the next time. One thing I learned about Ghanaians is that they love respect more than the truth. This is a fact even in our extended families. No problem insulting when it is a single comment but not in a write-up, not even on fools like Ayariga, Asiedu-Nketia or Ablakwa. Please try a very clean approach the next time because millions of Ghanaians including all those goofy NDC people know you are telling the truth but they will pull Ghanaian legs to counter your attack using your lack of respect as their tool. They know they will always win this way as they have succeeded with Sir John, Akuffo Addo and many others. This is a very effective trick up the sleeves of the do-nothing NDC.

I think Justice Sarpong is over sentimental in his attacks of the NDC government.The deep-seated sentiments is an impulsive emotional outburst informed by tribal prejudice and ethnocentric sentiments.The substance of his writing on this crucial topic of accountability have been marred by tribal motivated venomous attacks on the persons of Mahama Ayariga and President Mahama.To indirectly refer to the president in particular as stupid is most unfortunate,disrespectful and demeaning.I enjoy reading Justice Sarpong articles except the tribal connotations and persistent attempts at glorifying the NPP at the least opportunity.I am an anti-corruption crusader who strongly believe our politicians and public officials must be compelled at all cost to render accountability to protect the public purse.Justice Sarpong should take note thievery by politicians is not limited to this government or particular tribe or ethnic group.I am a northerner and have been very worried about the way some politicians in the north have ridden at the backs of their poverty riddled hungry constituents to be enormously rich use same to drive their selfish political agenda.I am not happy that these northern MPs are putting up sophisticated mansions in places like Accra and Tema,drive expensive fleet of cars,run multi-million business enterprise whiles constituents cannot afford a meal a day,cannot attend school because they cannot afford fees or lie in their sick beds and die because they cannot afford health cost.I am not happy that despite all these, MPs easily retain their seats by using their money to influence election through vote buying and bribery.When my brother was attacked by a very corrupt, stupid tribal bigot parading as the Medical Director of Effia Nkwanta hospital,it was tribal politics he used to cover his dirty iniquities.He persistently accused my brother of belonging to NDC and subsequently connived with Appiah Denkyira,Director General,Ghana Health Service to get him sacked in typical show of nepotism,ethnic prejudice and discrimination.My brother was more than motivated to prove his political neutrality in civil service and that he was a victim because of his anti-corruption stance by suing the Ghana Health Service at the Fast Track High Court.The very political cum public servants who accused my brother of having ties with the NDC in their plot copied letters before and after his sacking to Mr Alban Bagbin then Health Minister.All the people involved were Akans with the exception Mr Bagbin who was used to get rid of my brother.The Ghana Health Service visibly refused to enter defense in this case since 2012 by hiding behind government to victimize an individual on tribal grounds whiles crying politics to cover heinous,filthy acts of corruption.Until people like Justice Sarpong steer clear of ethnic prejudice in their political discourse there will always be suspicion of tribal hate no matter the substance of his discussion and that will not auger well for his party.Let's encourage politics of accountability and development devoid of tribalism and ethnic prejudice.

I have apologized for inadvertently insulting the President but you are wrong this article has anything to do with tribalism.
I don't understand why anytime an Akan, especially an Asante writes an article critical of this administration he or she is admonished and accused of tribalism. Can't an Asante criticize this administration or any government headed by a Northerner or Ewe without being accused of tribalism?
Despite being an Npp supporter, I criticized Kufuor administration many times on him and was the one who coined the term "Bokassanization" to describe him when he awarded himself a medal.
Yes, the second time I read what I wrote, I instantly realized I inadvertently has insulted the President not because of him being a Northerner.
As far as Ayariga is concerned, I even think I left him off very easy. If I have known of his interview with Caprain Smart and Kwame Sefa Kayi, I would have gone bonkers on him. He doesn't deserve any respect from anybody if he can't respect us. Respect is earned not demanded.
Sorry buddy, I didn't write this no holds bar article not because I hate Northerners but the truth must be said. It just happened that this government has a large percentage of Northerners who have been involved in many corrupt deals including SADA that was deviced to help poor Northerners but the elite, educated and politically connected Northerners have stolen the money, that is a fact and if voicing it out makes me a tribalist, so be it because I will continue to write the truth regardless of whose cow is "goured".

This attitude of pilfering and mismanagement and direspectfulness by Ghanaians in high positions to the citizenry doesn't have anything to do with political administrations but with individuals and entities who feel most powerful in society, nevertheless get away with it because in Ghana, no one is held responsible for acts detrimental to the economy of the state neither crimes comitted against the state.
There is frequent connivance between the FA and assigned sports ministers anytime a tournament is staged and that is why the old "thief, Nyantakyi," must leave and the new "thief Ayariga tractor" ought to be investigated and if found guilty, be dealt with severely.

It's a general desease found within the NDC; anything that the John Mahama-led NDC gov't touches becomes a failure. It's mostly because they grabbed power through foul means. With election fraud, they [NDC] has missed God's blessing. They've sinned against God and His people; Ghanaians. It's plain and simple! There's "Dum-sor, dum-sor" everywhere, GYEEDA, SADA, WC-2014 and AFCON-2015. Everything is in disarray!

It is true Ayariga and the President goofed big time. But the writer must have some modicum of respect for the President and Minister. I will not be happy for a writer to insult an NPP President this way. What is good for the ...

I wish Rasheed speedy recovery from 37 military hospital Intensive Care Unit. But can't he write from his sick bed?
Is this hospitalization story true? What's the source? I hope Rasheed is well and kicking. Good Lord, I prefer Rash as "The Truth" to being at 37 Military Hospital Intensive Care Unit.
Rash is in a mess. If it's true that he's in Intensive Care bcos of shock, it's not only brain and speech that can be affected. His sight and libido can as well be affected.
We only respect those who respect themselves....for all you mpepefuo who didnt know...this brukutu drinking ayariga is only a public SERVANT...who should answer to any question the public want an answer to....akans always cri ...

Who is this writer who thinks he is the best brain in the country? Who do you think you are? Just like you don't respect others you don't also deserve that respect. You are just a cow
Ghanaians love respect?
Really?
Since when?
Massa Sarpong, methinks that crook John Mahama deserves no apology.
And do the people you mentioned have respect for Ghanaians?
Why all these insulting words? You have made your point but the insults sounds like an Ashanti racism to me? "Obiaa nye obiaa" kingdom? Ghana was not built like that!
When will you people realize (regardless of political affiliation) that people in political office WORK FOR US!! It is the taxes they take from our hard earned money that pays them. Therefore they have no right to treat us an ...

You usual yen akanfuo posturing will not help your close pal the evil dwarf whose nefarious activities is well known to sane minded people. Idiot come again.
sarpong and his ilk will never cease exposing themselves. Hon Ayariga reports to Parliament and the man is willing to do so. What is the problem about this?
The problem is parliament before budget and not parliament after budget.
No need for the Writer to respond to kayayos and smelly Trokosis. He has expressed his mind.
I think you are uncultured. Surffice it to say the minister did not respond appropriately, you insulting him is also not reasonable. Grow up, be educated, two wrongs they say do not make right. Eloquence is not intelectuality ...

Bravo. We need deep thinking persons like you who see it as it is devoid of any tribal connotations. If we can shake off these tribal sentiments, we may be heading on the right direction.
look a the ministers comment. Have u worked b4? Why fly to Equitorial Quinea when tecnical men tasked to work are there? Mother Ghana is realy suffering.
I think u de writer could ve lampoon him without insults. We noe dey re corrupt bt insults doesn't portray dat so called CARDINAL TRUTH u claim to b. Try to b ethical in ur reportage.
NPP should use Mahama Ayariga's voice in a political advert during the forthcoming elections. It'll be so powerful. Call me if u need advertisement consultant.
