    It is people like you who will send NPP back into opposition sooner than later. Bawumia is brilliant but that does not mean he is perfect.

    NDC has all the solutions to Ghana problems and yet could not perform during their tenure.

    This is just to hoodwink the general public,16 billion dollars is a huge amount to secure in a couple of months.Bawumia is still in his propaganda mood,he needs to understand he is in government and stop lying

    Why wouldn't you post this when you don't even know your father? Insulting a whole tribe for a comment by an individual. Find out from your mother who your real father is. Idiot

    In fact, if the current administration has the capacity to find corruption, then it should stop the Chinese loan and
    and instead block leakages

    Aku Banesseh has made a point, but she failed to address the underlining cause of what she is talking about. By likening NDC failure to secure to what the NPP is doing, underscores her inaptitude on the subject matter. When ...

    I can promise you the government WILL NOT get I billion dollars from the Chinese government.

  • Africanus 6 years ago

    Mr. Donkor, I will be surprised if by 8 years the government has been able to raise one third of the said amount from the Chinese. NDC did not seek to borrow the 3 billion on the back of the economic strength of Ghana, they a ...

    Well done Mabel. Is this not the same NPP that attacked JDM for borrowing? And why suddenly, this spree of borrowing again? They claim to develop Ghana without going to borrow from nowhere. Here we go.

  • Ata yaw 6 years ago

    Everyone wanted to be heard so that if something goes wrong with loan or grant they will say we told you so. Plugging the leakages is not bad idea but the same people would be complaining of witch haunting.
