  WHILE NPP CONTINUES TO WHINE SHAMEFULLY LIE ABOUT AN ELECTION THEY LOST, HOW DO YOU THINK INTERNATIONAL INVESTORS, FOREIGN BANKS OR EVEN THE IMF ETC ETC WILL RESPOND WHEN WE WANT TO SIT DOWN WITH THEM TO DISCUSS THESE THINGS??? AIRPORTS ESPECIALLY ARE SUBJECT TO INTERNATIONAL LAWS AND APPROVAL. NPP WANTS TO MAKE GHANA UNGOVERNABLE AND THESE DELAYS ARE ONLY THE BEGINNING...YES, THE NPP ARE SAYING IF THEY CANT HAVE GHANA, NOBODY ELSE WILL!!!!

  Airport must be privatise to avoid this nonsense s .building a new airport is the option, but if they are clever, it's a matter of breaking down the whole airforce, El-wak barrack and Burma camp , extend the airport. It will look more international port not this village airport. What are they using the oil money foe? Pathetic leadership who don't hold anyone accountable for damage.when was the last time the roofing has been change? If this should occurred in a western country, surely the manager must be fired. Are they not making money enough to repair all these damages? We are going round shouting for investors to help build a nation while we cannot even maintain what we have. Sad, useless, visionless , aimless when it comes to leadership. The president must hold the airport management accountable period!!

WORKERS WILL WAKE FROM THEIR FOOLISH SLUMBER AS OWNER OF THE COMPANIES WILL NOT SPARE STAFF WHO ARE ONLY INTERESTED IN ENRICHING THEMSELVES THROUGH THE BACKDOOR WITH IMPUNITY REGARDLESS OF THE COMPANY GOING DOWN WITH THEM OR NOT. MOST GHANAIAN WORKERS ARE JUST PRETEND TO WORK. THEY BRING NO VALUE TO THE MARKET PLACE. PAY A VISIT TO ANY OF THESE SO CALLED GOVERMENT ESTABLISHMENTS AND CHECK FOR YOURSELVES. CORRUPT TO THE CORE.

  Everything that happens in Ghana would be "politicized"! Instead of taking those in charge to task , people would start hide behind politics to escape responsibility and as such "punishment"! How can those in charge look on for months without repairing these leakages and other faults till they cause such embarassement to the state??!!. If those in charge and at fault are reprimanded and punished , they immediately "join" a different party and use that as the reason for their being reprimanded or "punished" - "Tuu ma tu" (hpp scotch ?)is the name of this new/old "game"!!! Its a big shame what is happening in our Dear Ghana! Another name for this is "DEMOCRACY" and "FREEDOM FOR THE PEOPLE" !!!ARE WE GOING OR COMING???!!!
