Why would National Security ask CEO of McDan Group of companies to kneel down and if they knew that what they were doing was right why were against him being filmed?Are they happy with the unemployment situation in GH?

His Excellency the President claimed he is a President for all Ghanaians, he is a father for all Ghanaians, he is resetting the country but this is over board .
Better to come out clear and inform Ghanaians that you are embarking on political persecution than to pretend you are President for all .
This hypocrisy must stop .
Ghanaians are aware that all the directives is coming from the flag staff house.
You can choose to pretend but Ghanaians are aware of all your tactics .

Why are we in democratic era and authorities are taking us back to revolutionary period? If you are doing something genuine, something authorised, something which is on records, why do you prevent a reporter who's also doing something genuine, something authorised, something strengthening records? They are national security so they are above the and can bulldoze their way through without anyone questioning them. If the national security says they were interfering with their normal duty, was the journalist also took part in the interference? Photo or video you prevented it from coming into the public domain, what about the news itself? All that took place there is in the public domain even though no pictures or videos are attached to the story. Will they have avoided journalists or prevent journalists from taking pictures/videos if they were commissioning a school, water or a health facility to a deprived community? They are sending us back.

This all is the handiwork of that NDC boy at EOCO and he will dearly pay for it. This EOCO boy encroached on Trade Fair lands and after several months of warning to vacate the land the board of Trade Fair pulled down the structure he has erected on the land so he thinks he is paying back McDan for that action. I don't think the land on which McDan has his property is under any litigation. Archer you will pay dearly for using that EOCO office to perpetuate criminality.

Ghana is moving in the wrong direction if care is not taken by 2027 the country will become something else especially for the youth. The government actions is creating hopelessness for the Ghanaian youth and making education useless in Ghana. With certificate or not you can’t find a job and traders, businessmen and women are also struggling to get dollars to import their goods, Dumso is collapsing business so where is the future for the youth. Poverty is on the rise and killing too is on the rampage Lord have mercy.

Ghanaian konkonte journalists are the dumbest. If serious, can't you use tiny but powerful spy cameras with instant transmission to remote multiple points. Photos and videos are now a powerful means of securing vital evidence that sometimes becomes the deciding factor in ensuring justice. Meanwhile, it's unfortunate that some fools voted for Mahama to come and destroy the peace and development of our dear nation Ghana just within 7 months

This is what happens when things are done through nepotism and influence. McDan did not have the right qualifications and documentations to operate his company at the airport. I remember one Mr Kwakwa who was in charge of the airport operations pointed this out. He was fired by Akuffo Addo and McDan had his way. I am not surprised his structures are now being torn down apparently for not meeting the standards Mr Kwakwa pointedww out.

He should have been slapped and kicked as well. And these fake journalists are very arrogant and provocative. They want to be untouchable. McDan thought he owned the airport. Inordinate greed and arrogance is unacceptable.
