I hope the army has regained it's respect and integrity after Kronfuor Kuffuor, the thief made it look like a toilet paper when he introduced bigotry through quota system to it.

And I hope also that the women junior ranks are no more disrespecting their seniors and that discipline in restored.

John Mahama and your NDC thieves, you can't intimidate us with the 60% Ewe dominated Ghana Armed Forces.

Our armed force are to defend us against external aggression and not to intimidate Ghanaians.

It is neither a militia of the NDC too.

From their uniforms,equipment down to where they sleep, it is the Ghanaian taxpayer who pays for every single pesewa.

Keep our armed forces out of politics, for we have already seen the damage they can do to our economy and our psyche.

NDC, stop the barbaric politics now !

It is with joy to hear that the Ghana Army is not operated or formed under the BOGUS and BIGOTRY Quota system initiated by the Akan Supremacist, Kronfuor Kuffuor but the Ghana Army is opened to competition....hahahahaha and out of competition, 60% are Ewes, GUD.

The implication thereafter is that if the elephant does not behave as it should then the Ghana Army will have to tame it.

Peace to all descent and decent Ghanaians!!!

THE ANSWER TO YOUR FUNNY QUESTION IS YES. IF WE WANT TO INCLUDE ROUTE MARCH OF OUR SECURITY SERVICES IN OUR ANNUAL CELEBRATION WHY NOT? DO YOU KNOW THAT SUCH SHOW OF FORCE HAS ITS POSITIVE EFFECTS. IF YOU ARE NOT A LAW BREAKER YOU DO NOT NEED TO FEAR THE PRESENCE OF SECURITY FORCES. IT IS PART OF THE PHYSICAL EXERCISE AND CIVILIAN FRIENDLY ACTIVITY OF THE SECURITY FORCES. WHEN THEY MOVE AROUND YOUR HOUSES AT NIGHT TO SCARE OFF THE ARMED ROBBERS YOU DON'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. BUT THIS ONE YOU HAVE SOMETHING AGAINST IT. IT IS CRIMINALS THAT FEAR THE SECURITY'S PRESENCE. THE LAW ABIDING ONES FEEL HAPPY WHEN THE SECURITY SHOW PRESENCE AND KEEP SANITY IN AREAS WHERE THEY LIVE OR ARE GATHERED. THE GHANA ARMED FORCES IS A REPUTABLE AND RESPECTABLE INSTITUTION AND HAS VERY FOCUSED TOP LEADERS IN CHARGE.

Let NDC use the Ewe army to attempt intimidating Akans and let's see how that will play out in Ghana. Only a FOOL will go this suicidal and lunatic option of intimidation.

Now I'm fully convinced that Mahama is no WISE ENOUGH by attemtpting to use the army who're supposed to protect the country against external attack instead, as an INTIMIDATING TOOL against a section of Ghanaians for his trivial and selfish purpose. Since when the army marched to celebrate a New Year, I know not.

Lets not start 2013, the year of glory with insults and politicize any article. it is their duty as Armed forces to KEEP FIT every quaterly in every year. That is their rule and not politics. My friend, insult can never fix problems but rather imposes conflicts, so I will pread from every one or urge each contributer to compote them selves in any situation, for Ghana has come of age with democracy. Its how ever better to rejoice and glorify 2013 to achieve the better agenda the president has promise to offer if we put our props behind him. know that politics is a game for politicians not for ordinally voter who is not in any dream to afford even a single position when it comes to leadership. Why am I I saying so, my friend you will wonder to see the two candidate that you are propping beind them are partying and, may be you might be at the state of danger seaking for help but no help.

Well, it's unwise to display power in this form at this time of our political discourse. A wiser person should advise Mahama to STOP this display of INTIMIDATION, because that's what people will interpret that action: INTIMIDATION. It's NOT our TRADITION to display Army march in New Years, so why now?. It's an unwise agenda!!!

So far, NPP and NDC supporters have not locked horns ala Ivory Coast style, but it looks like Mahama wants it that way in order to creat an environment for a Gbagbo raid style for Akuffo Addo. This is a misplaced agenda which borders on INFERIORITY COMPLEX and runs counter to democracy.

DEMOCRACY AT WORK.NPP BOSSES ARE TRYING EVERYTHING TO CREATE DISTURBANCES , RIOTS DISOBEDIENCES IN THE COUNTRY.

I believe most of the people who comment (if not all) are Ghanaians. The internet is a global village, anyone can log into Ghanaweb. How do we want the world to know the Ghanaian? Insulting and devoid of ideas for nation building or one who is sober and contributes meaningfully to a debate.

I WANT to believe that the Ghanaian has some brains and can indeed debate an issue without resorting to insults, profanity, name-calling, etc.

For the illustrious sons and daughters who read articles and comment, STAND UP AND PROVE YOU HAVE MORE IN YOU THAN INSULTS! etc, etc.

To us all Ghanaians, happy new year. We have this country to DEVELOP, and leave a befitting legacy to posterity. We can do it!

I am really ashamed of the kind of debate we are having on thus simple matter. As ghanaians please let us place the advancement of our Country above politics. This country is bigger and more important than any individual. Ghana's army is a professional institution made up of citizens of Ghana and no other country. It doesn't matter which part of the country they come from. What is wrong with an army that wants to have an excercise to keep fit at the beginning of the year. Do we have to read meaning into everything? In any case what are we across of? Please let us stop politicking with any and every issue. As I have already indicated Ghana is bugger than any individual or group of people and we should not take the relative peace our country is enjoying for granted. A word to a wise is enough.

What the ordinary Ghanaian needs at this time is food on the table and not route marches. Come on, do something productive Ghana....! Our roads are deplorable, there is trash everywhere, there are no jobs for the ordinary Ghanaian, our hospitals are among the worse in the world, and the best we can do is to give contracts to Chinese nationals to dig graves and have our soldiers keep marching-pass? I am very dismayed by what is going on in our country and the fact that we are allowing politicians to take us for a ride.

Since you are "so clean" you think giving contracts to Chinese to dig graves is the smartest and cleanest thing a nation can do. When you post anything think through and be objective because you dont even know the other poster personally "Mr. Clean" know that most Ghanaians will sleep on empty stomachs this new year day not because they are lazy yet politicians keep raising their salaries. "Mr. Clean it is about Ghana. My posting has nothing personal in it.

Maybe what "Mr Clean" is trying to say is that we have depended on the gov for so long to do everything. Nkrumah's gov built all those jobs 50yrs ago. Can you point to a single one standing today? What that means is that "gov don't create jobs" period. Average ghanaian has some kind of savings in their bank account. Why don't we put resources together and build hospitals, cleaning companies,manufacturing companies and employ our brothers and sisters instead of waiting on the gov? The fact is we have tried the this way before and it didn't work. Do you think it's time to try something different?

@Frank Mensah, you are dead right by your comment. Since when in the history of Ghana has the army embarked on a route march to celebrate the new year ? It has never happened. If the NDC wants to celebrate their doubtful election win they should just go ahead and celebrate it, rather than using the army as a disguise. Is this route march a ploy to intimidate political opponents of the NDC ? I bet you this is Asiedu Nketsia's idea. shame

Only in primitive administration is this kind of intimidation be seen as normal. There's a New Year, but what does the Army marching in ALL REGIONAL CAPITALS got to do with it?

If it's PROVEN in the court of law that the votes of the electorate were STOLLEN by the rulling crooks, the Army can march from Bawku to Half-Assini, it's the choice of the majority that will prevail. Look at Egypt for a perfect example, that AK-47s are NO MATCH to LOGIC, DEMOCRACY and RULE of LAW. NDC wake up and DON'T worsen your already violent trademark. Use the army to attempt to intimidate and you'll be in for a real shock!! Useless coup party which understands ONLY BLOOD and VIOLENCE, and has no understanding of the RULE of LAW.

There is nothing wrong with the Ghana Armed forces embarking on this rout match to mark the New year's day as far as the police is not involved in this exercise.
The GAF has its objectives for embarking on the exercise as it is not new in various democratic societies. Be it a away of showing their might, awakening their morals and spirit, deterring potential trouble makers or celebrating their unprecedented successes over the years; so be it.
Gone are the days when armed robbers and fraudsters where scared to death to engage in their vices because of the prominence of the soldiers but democracy was nothing good to write home about then.
Now we have true democracy and the military seem to have been isolated. As a result, one of the reasons the armed robbers and fraudsters are basking the streets and corners of the country with confidence and even have the guts to kill policemen and soldiers.
Most Ghanaians between the ages of 17 and 26 knows nothing about the past years of the military might. This age group are the same group mostly involved in armed robbery and fraud especially what is popularly known as SAKAWA.
It is therefore important to expose these youth and potential robbers to the might of the military along side the effective judiciary in existence.
It is therefore not out of place if the GAF goes on a rout match as far as the police is not involved.

My advise for Mahama is that this idea is definately going to piss off many people and gradually draw support to NPP to strengthen and energise their support base.
Also,Many Ghanaians will see this that Mahama uses his right hand to preach peace to the people of Ghana but uses his left hand at the sametime to impede justice.Many will now see Mahama as a War Mongerer.
Stop this nonsense Mahama for Ghana is not North Korea.
Gbagbo did the same but when war broke out,His Army became divided.The Soldiers are humans too.
