Excellent initiative, but use mechanised system not wheelbarrow and cutlasses like in the 18 century, black man everything is about human strength instead of machine, cheap labour.

The Game Arrived Forces to engage in the making of Kenkey is a misplaced priority. The Ghana Armed Forces has a basic requirement that cannot be compromised with anything. They are to protect and defend the territorial integrity and security of the country. A whole Brigadier General coming out with such a suggestion is very unfortunate. He is a Senior Military Officer that I should respect else I would have started raining very horrible insults on him. No. I will not do that.
He should just cast his eyes and look at how Nigerians have overwhelmed Ghana with their many criminal activities. Why can’t the Military, the Police, and immigration Officers team up and patrol the towns, cities, and villages to expel illegal immigrants, particularly Nigerians, Togolese among others from Ghana? The Military and the Police and the Immigration Service can patrol our cities, storefronts, markets and streets and prevent any illegal immigrant from engaging in any form of business to survive. The Military should take such illegal immigrants to their barracks and give them serious punishment before they are deported to their country. If they come back to Ghana to live and do business illegally, make their punishment very serious, including fifty horsewhip under their feet and back daily. They should be Gang Chained daily as they are made to do very hard work daily. Nigerians are not good people and are not liked anywhere in the World, including Afghanistan, Iran, and Iraq. Just send them back to Nigeria to complete the destruction of their country. A good Nigerian is a dead, buried and rotting one.. They are just horrible criminals. Mahama, over to you. Ignore ECOWAS and its many nonsense and stupid clauses.

HM! OMG! I RATHER EXPECTED THIS SOLDIER TO SAY THEY ARE STRENGTHENING GHANA'S MILITARY CAPABILITIES TO PROTECT ORDINARY POOR DEFENCELESS GHANAIANS FROM THE EFFECTS OF RAMPANT ENDEMIC FREE-FOR-ALL LOOTING OF THE STATE BY SUCCESSIVE GHANA'S FRAUDULENT LEADERS THE LIKES OF AKUFO-ADDO, KUFUOR, OFORI-ATTA, KENNEDY AGYAPONG, ETC SINCE 1957.

THAT EXACTLY IS WHAT TRUMP IS DOING IN THE UNITED STATES BY THE FORMATION OF "ICE" TO WEED OUT ALL FOREIGN POLITICAL AND OTHER CRIMINALS, MOSTLY FROM THE THIRD-WORLD, USING AMERICA AS THEIR SAFE HAVENS, SANCTUARIES OR HIDEOUTS BY FALSELY DECLARING THEMSELVES AS POLITICAL REFUGEES FOR PEACE TO BE GRANTED RESIDENCE TO CONTINUE ENJOYING THEIR NATION'S LOOT OPULENTLY USING THEIR MONEY-LAUNDERED WEALTH SHIPPED OUT TO THE WEST, SOTH AFRICA, DUBAI AND OTHER WEALTHY TAX-FREE ARAB GULF STATES.

THESE SOLDIERS HAVE OBVIOUSLY BEEN BOUGHT BY GHANA'S FRAUDULENT LEADERS THAT THEY NOW THINK ONLY ABOUT THEIR WELFARE, AND NOT THE WELFARE OF THE POOR MAJORITY OF BANKRUPTED GHANAIAN TAXPAYERS.

WHAT THESE SOLDIERS MUST FOCUS ON IS TO PROTECT DEFENCELESS GHANAIANS FROM THE INVASIVE ONSLAUGHT OF THIEVING FREELOADING GHANAIAN DIASPORAN CRIMINALS PARADING THEMSELVES IN GHANA AS AZAA FRAUDULENT POLITICIANS AND FAKE TECHNOCRATS.

OFORI-ATTA AND KENNEDY AGYAPONG, ETC ARE TYPICAL EXAMPLES OF SUCH DIASPORAN CRIMINALS WHO LOOT THEIR THIRD-WORLD NATIONS' COFFERS AND DISAPPEAR TO SEEK FAKE POLITICAL ASYLUM IN THE WEST.

A very wise move. I have been advocating for the use of our military , the fine men and women in the GAF, with their expertises , to embark on food productions ,road , bridges, bridges, highways and tunnels and housing construction to help kick start the 24/7 production agenda..

This bold initiatives will give the country a return in its sinking in funds …the so much funds in idling units of the economy could be use for production .

All sectors of the economy must now embark in production…production production production and is all for food and storages and packaging and shipping .

This idea is more or less rebranding the worker brigades the, operation feed yourself ; and waratu wara sa principles .

We found of using big English all by the so called lawyers and PhD to blind the masses instead of communicating with simple terminology that entices masses understanding; and attend to its meaning such as waratu wara sa .. instead of the expression “self employment “ entrepreneurships “.. self reliance so long wrong wording all to disengaging the youth from reality. Let’s be real after the big english era is gone with looting Ghana.! All these monies stolen will be used to influence America operations to come in again and disrupt our democracy systems we are rebuilding by an another coupe de tar.. that’s all . The NPP is just a disruptive party to Ghana’s way forward.

The military is now embarking on waratu warasa, operation feed yourself, and eventually, this idea will Feed the nation and most African countries then the world .

Why America became so powerful? It’s all through foods.. supporting the world with food supplies that’s brought about expansion of democracy on Africa soil..
Thank you
Good Initiative…
Uncle Benn. The Bisease Guardian Angels.

Ghana was blessed by a unique governance system the union government then we disposed the idea without trying it all because the big book longs talks about book book knowledge instead nod applying common sense with knowledge attained they will rather copy and paste , no innovation from their educational achievements.
Good job the military…long lasting the military.and God bless Ghana.

Leave that out. Enhance the engineers section so they bid for these big government contracts. The local contractors for the roads just take the big contracts outsource them to foreign partners and supervise local staff and progress. They sometimes clock as much as 10 million dollars per contract. The military can do same. Im sure if they were handling the tema motor project these stupid traffic we see wouldn't be happening. Oyibi Dodowa has a stupid contract just blocking main entrances. He has blocked the main road at Sasaabi Junction behind star oil for almost 2 months so people around that area using long bushy muddy routes to their homes and businesses there are closely down. Do we have authorities in this country?

Where have all the soldiers gone? I hope we dont focus much on food kenkey and bread and forget about security where the enemy would just come and meet us unprepared. At least man must not live by bread alone but must also plan toward the future. We eat to live though. Introduce partial military training to our service personnels. Military information are usually classified but why is this one not?

Extremely commendable. Please consider amaranth, quinoa, lentils, Congo beans and other legumes. Also, examine the possibility of raising goats and even capybara.
