WHO DOES THIS CLUELESS JINAPOR THINK HE'S DECEIVING.

EVEN AN FPSO ATTA-MILLS, GHANA CANNOT MAKE PROFITABLE USE OF THAT FLOATING PRODUCTION STORAGE AND OFFLOADING (FPSO) SUBSEA HYDROCARBONS BYPRODUCTS ONTO CRUDE OIL TANKERS FOR TRANSPORTATION AND SALE TO OTHER NATIONAL CUSTOMERS.

GHANA CANNOT PROFITABLY MANAGE EVEN AN IMPORTED FPSO ATTA-MILLS,AND OPTIMIZE THE USE FOR PROFITABILITY, LET ALONE "MANUFACTURE" AN ELECTRIC METER.

GHANA'S LEADERS HAVE BEEN USELESS AND CRIMINALS SINCE 1957 AND IT SHOWS CLEARLY EVERYWHERE ACROSS HOPELESS BANKRUPTED GHANA.

SOMEONE MUST HAVE COLLECTED HIS 10% SOMEWHERE ALONG THE VALUE CHAIN. THIS IS NOT A METER MANUFACTURING PLANT. IT'S A METER ASSEMBLY PLANT.

@ Survival. Unfortunately, Mahama has not only dreamt of bringing French troops into Ghana but he actually brought them for real. And to add insult to injury, these small boys from the French army came on the pretext to teach our more geographically acclimatized soldiers the art of jungle warfare at the military training school at Achiase. If this is not a very very sick joke then it is just another example of neocolonial surrender of our sovereignty.

The French are dangerous. Remember what happened to Ghadaffi after he warmed up to the French. These are a people who burned school furniyure, bulldozed hospitals when Guinea, Conakry attained independence.

Kwesi Pratt the old man liar, worshipper of Kwame Nkrumah. Proclaims to be staunch socialist but sneaks to the West to cool off on holidays. Pratt see, hears or smells nothing untoward with the NDC, its appointees including his daughter who works as a communicator in the Veeps office. The least opportunity he gets, he lashes at anything NPP as though he’s in some political competition with the NPP.

The last I checked he was on airwaves spinning that Ukraine was behind the terrorists activity which saw 8 of our countrymen as victims. He conveniently forgets the Wagner military group working for Russia in the Sahel regions. North Korea, China, Russia, Iran, Cuba and Venezuela are his model countries but sneaks to the West for holidays. Pratt is the epitome of double standards and Ghanaians ought to see him for who he is.

If it had been an NPP government that any least official in the government hierarchy had commented to bring in any western country to assist Ghana militarily, Mr Hippocrates Kwesi Pratt will be all over the huffing and puffing that the NPP has sold our sovereignty. Now it’s his beloved Party which appears to be seeking western support his comments are very well moderated!

Senior lair and propagandist!

My guy as for this one di33 you are just throwing dust into the eyes of Ghanians. Stop being a political faithful this tim around and think about Ghana. Kwesi Pratt has even been mkre supportive of the Mahama agenda since so dont use this criticism he has made to ditch him and pretend that he's not been there for NDC.

The fact of the matter is that Ghana has been reckless and careless under each of Mahama's administration in handling millitary alliances. From the Guantanamo bay inmates, the military base in Ghana saga to Okudjeto Ablakwa's no-transparency arrangement with the US while accepting deportees who were not Ghanaians into the country.

This is what we are trying to say, can lead to a great disaster if care is not taken for the Westerners are not faithful alliances in anyway, eslecially when dealing with African countries

If Mahama dare to bring these nation wreckers to Ghana, he will never know peace. What has Ghana got to do with French soldiers? They shouldn't even try. So they're saying our military are so useless they can't fight galamsey unless they bring in French mercenaries? Stupid idiots, try anything against our Sahel brothers and you'll know what happens in Ghana afterwards. Useless political dogs of western colonialists. Let's just hear of any news they're in Ghana and we shall see what happens. Corrupt idiots.

Under the excuse of joint friendly military training, the French imperialist military forces have already come and done the necessary surveillance, established the necessary contacts and moles in the Ghana Armed Forces and left. This imperialist strategy has been played out so many times in Africa that, it is now beyond belief that our highest functionaries of govt still succumb to these kindergarten gimmicks that are ultimately aimed at keeping countries like Ghana in the colonial gridlock of our oppressors. It seems that after over 500 years of the of despicable human rights violationsWestern colonial oppression, most Africans are now suffering from what is described as the Stockholm Syndrome.

WE ARE EXPERT TALKATIVES
Ghana is the Gold Coast which has gold in every sand in our land.
We talk big about our gold.
But Ghana ooo Ghana we don't have and we have not as yet made the right equipments to extract our gold from our own land.
It makes sense to stop all gold extractions.
Stop it.
We must compel our Technical and Technology universities to develop the safe equipments and safe means to do the safe extractions.
The gold shall not run away.
Right now the gold rush is killing us faster than we choose to worry about.
Now we have no water to drink .
Soon there shall be no land to farm.
Then the inhabitants shall wipe themselves away.

Kwesi Pratt is a total waste of time. The leaders of the AES States that he has been lauding these past 3 or more years since they took power, asked the French (with assistance of EU partners) and Chadian forces fighting the Fulani islamist insurgents, to leave. These forces duly left the 3 countries of Mali, Burkina and Niger over 2 years ago and were duly replaced by Russian mercenary Wagner forces of Yevgeny Prigozhin. These Russians were given gold mining sites for them to do galamsey as payment for coming to fight the Fulani insurgents.

Problem is the Russians have been more focused on mining gold and protecting their galamsey sites more so than fighting the insurgents. As a result of the French forces pulling out the insurgents have overrun more than 50% of the territories of Mali, Burkina and Niger. The military juntas running those countries are unable to hold off the insurgents.

Kwesi Pratt's nonsense about the French is just his way of avoiding the facts that his so-called "socialist revolutions" in the AES are failing badly at the basic task of firstly providing security to the people under the rule. On the economic front the situation is even worse. As I write, I have friends in the process of moving from Bamako to find refuge in Ghana or Ivory Coast.
