Jesus Christ loves you and wants to save you from sin and its consequences. Vanity upon vanity—everything in this world is meaningless without Him. He died on the cross for your sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day. Believe in Him, accept His gift of forgiveness, and receive eternal life! (John 3:16)..

NDC this what we want you to do.Put the helicopter crash sadness behind you quickly and start the various projects earmarked. The stupid NPP are praying for delays so that they start their nkwaseafour propaganda.

Meanwhile we're planning to build a new expressway from Accra to Kumasi via Jubilee House and the NDC headquarters. Where is that going to pass? Are we serious at all? Why don't you simply finish this and dualize the entire stretch? Complete the bypasses at Osino, Anyinam, Konongo and the rest first.

Spend whatever money you have to develop a rail infrastructure to Kumasi and extend to the north via Sunyani and Techiman let just use our heads for Christ sake. Innocent citizen are dying every second on this road. Idiots !

I totally agree with you 110%. I wonder which corridor the new express way will pass since galamsey has destroyed the entire stretch from Anyinam to Konongo.

How will you know where the road will pass when your brain is completely dead? When countries around the world are building expressways between major cities to facilitate commerce and reduce risk and travel time, here we are with characters like you still living in the past with archaic mentality of the stone age. The NPP had wasted 8 years of our countries existence, destroying the economy, stalling projects and stagnating the country of innovative modern day advancements in infrastructure; what the country needs now is a new focus on catching up with the rest of the world even as we rebuild our economy. That is exactly what the NDC is doing. Let us all think positively and give them the support to move our country forward the way it should. As for the NPP, never again should we have them anywhere near the presidency and governance of this great country.

Maame, the helicopter disaster happened just over a week ago but the NDC has been in power over months. John Odwanfunu Mahama the incompetent dead goat will soon exhaust his first year in power without implementing a single tangible policy or project. All they are doing is stupidily arresting people by their so called national security personnel whilst their gullible foolsoldiers go about stealing from people's homes.

Why do we always pay contractors late. This started around bisexual rawling's PNDC time and have continued to this day. Even medium sized companies have good financial planning that enables them to plan the timing of income and expenditure to ensure there is always adequate working capital to make payments when due. Not having money should be an exception but in Ghana that's the norm. Even government workers can go for months without pay. Then you see this stupid government appointing more of them when existing ones cannot be paid.

WHO OWNS MARIPOMA, THE COMPANY WORKING ON THAT ROAN AND THE ACCRA-TEMA MOTORWAY? The idea of delaying that project was to create a crises on the Accra-Kumasi Road on the Pokuase-Nsawam stretch so Mahama and his brothers can swoop in huge variations for more money. The same trick is being used for the Accra-Tema Motorway by the same company for the same purpose of creating the opportunity for huge variations. We are watching.

You see how stupid you are. A complete remote-controlled zombie and dunderhead who cannot reason properly. Do you think that the NPP would give any such contracts to any associate.of JM and his brother? Meanwhile, the NPP government took a loan of $750 million for that road and other projects but the have squandered the money while the road remains undone. They could not pay a certificate of $75 million raised by the contractor, hence the stoppage of work. Now the 7 month old Mahama government has to look for other sources of funding for it without taking any loans. NPP should be telling Ghanaians what they used the loan for. Only idiots and thieves like you support a criminal enterprise like NPP. Shameless liars and thieves!!!

Let’s cut through the optics. As you rightly pointed out, the loan covers the road and other projects. A quick check finds that only about US$200 million of the loan was allocated to the Ofankor-Nsawam section (just over half of the total US$346 million contract value) which means it covers only around 60 % of the project.
So that amount will not complete the project.

The NPP took a loan of $750 million for that road and other projects but has squandered the money while the road remains undone. They could not pay for a $75 million certificate raised by the contractor, hence the stoppage of work. Tell your NPP thieves to tell us what they have used the loan for. Now the burden has fallen on the NDC government to fix the road without the funds earmarked for it. Being a good reset government, the government will surely get the road done, God willing. Only criminals support that criminal enterprise called NPP.

The problem with Mahama's government, NDC administration is they cannot finished major projects of national interest whiles they are in power, it is alwaya we started it, etc., which is no good to anyone. Also, their projects are too expensive, inferior, inflated prices and at times 3 to 4 times the true cost. Mahama's first administration was a distaster, corruption was rife, completely useless in managing the economy, and spent more of his time scheming about how much he can steal billions of US Dollars for his family, to his brother. Talk about NPP and Akuffo Addo's government, Ghanaians should never vote for them to come into power again, they were not only corrupt and disastrous, they stopped managing the country altogether about 3 years before they were kicked out, booted out of office, they were all criminals, just talking heads, the entire country was a crime scene under Akuffo Addo's government, everything he did comes from loans, he destroyed everything and went to IMF to rule the country while he took the back seat.
