THE FIRST FALL WAS THE THEIR JOHN THE BAPTIST WHO CAME AHEAD OF THE REAL THING.
Why will a bunch of “educated people” allow themselves to be ridiculed by one man-AkuffuoAddo?The truth is Akuffuo Addo has lost and lost his mind. Confused and desperate, he wants to remain “relevant” what he is doing is to cause trouble and confusion using some knuckle heads like the concert group that we saw displaying their foolishness in parliament during the president’s State of Nations Address. No decency, no conscience, and no self-respect. Mpianin and co are matured people and at this point, quiet frankly are so disappointed and embarrassed at their party and want to save it from sinking and degenerating fast. All the rest who think other wise are plane stupid, and that is the truth!
Does anyone really think this election has been rigged? Even the folks in the NPP secretly don’t believe that nonsense but they have to please their master Nana Addoat all cost, even to the nation..
The truth is that there could be irregularities in the election all right, but that should not be surprising for a new democracy like Ghana. Even today, Britain and the USA who been voting for centuries still have these problems. We still remember the recounts in Al Gore and Bush in the recount. Anyway, what makes NPP think the irregularities only occurred on their side? Are these people really reasoning at all? Do these people really think the Supreme Court would overturn the election and make Nana the president? Really? THIS NA BI COCOA HEAD REASONING OR WHAT?

Sometimes, I find it difficult to understand some MPs. How on earth could the minority be prevented from participating in parliamentary business? It is just folly to even contemplate something like that.

The minority decided to boycott some parliamentary business and if they decide not to boycott others, why not let them eat their own vomit? By the majority raising objection to the minority's participation, is the majority different from the minority? Such objection will only play into the hands of the minority and should not be encouraged. It's silly and misguided.

They said they do not want anything do do with Mahama. They boycotted the vetting of the Ministers he nominated. A Minister nominated by the "illegitimate" President is presenting a budget to the House. Would not the NPP participation amount to legitimizing the activities and proposals of an "illegitimate" President?

Either they rescind their stupid decision and be allowed to take part or they maintain their position and as a matter of principle stay away or be forced to stay away.

CHE ANDREW you call this wisdom? no wonder you voted for or you are an NDC.

NPP's refusal to perform some selected parliamentary functions is their right. What the Majority MP is saying is preventing somebody else's right. What if the minority also takes similar action that they will not allow the majority to debate the budget.

The minority's decision is unethical but that is their choice, but that doesn't give the majority the right to prevent the minority their right. The majority can also choose to debate the budget or not that is their right, and the minority can't force them.

I think the Majority MP's talk is useless and cannot be a demonstration of wisdom. The only talk about this impasse that can be wise is an advice to the minority to let sleeping dogs lie.

The majority MPs have no right to deny the minority from taking part in parliamentary debates. What most of us condemned was their very refusal to take part in those debates. That does not give the majority any right or authority over what the minority can, or cannot take part in. They should know the rules and the bounds of their 'authority'. Such silly utterances as this one and the stupid 'pomposity of triumphalism' of one party over another is core to the problems of politics in Ghana. The "winner takes all" mentality is as daft and bad as the minority boycotting parliamentary responsibilities.

Perhaps the majority should take a cue from one of their own, Honorable Pele Abuga who yesterday called for a more bipartisan approach to doing government business and moving forward as a nation. I will continue to confront the majority NDC party and its surrogates on this, and other matters affecting our democracy, governance and our development.

without success, any hope or even any expectation......and most lives under US$4 /DAY ....They are the vulnerables that voted most NPP POLITICIANS to power and neglected at last .

Mr Nitiwul said “we will take the issues one by one, we have not availed ourselves to the vetting of ministers, and we have also not availed ourselves to the State of the Nation address but on Monday we will officially communicate to the world our position with regards to the budget and the debate”.

The NPP cannot make an announcement on a one by one, case by case basis. Having denied the legitimacy of the President and boycotted the vetting of Ministers, the only announcement that the world is waiting for is an admission that their decision is regretable and rescinded hereforth.

That is the only basis upon which they can take part in the debate on the Budget. They cannot be selective. Either they are in or they are out.

ALOOWING YOURSELVES TO BE USED. Why will a bunch of “educated people” allow themselves to be ridiculed by one man-AkuffuoAddo?The truth is Akuffuo Addo has lost and lost his mind. Confused and desperate, he wants to remain “relevant” what he is doing is to cause trouble and confusion using some knuckle heads like the concert group that we saw displaying their foolishness in parliament during the president’s State of Nations Address. No decency, no conscience, and no self-respect. Mpianin and co are matured people and at this point, quiet frankly are so disappointed and embarrassed at their party and want to save it from sinking and degenerating fast. All the rest who think other wise are plane stupid, and that is the truth!
Does anyone really think this election has been rigged? Even the folks in the NPP secretly don’t believe that nonsense but they have to please their master Nana Addoat all cost, even to the nation..
The truth is that there could be irregularities in the election all right, but that should not be surprising for a new democracy like Ghana. Even today, Britain and the USA who been voting for centuries still have these problems. We still remember the recounts in Al Gore and Bush in the recount. Anyway, what makes NPP think the irregularities only occurred on their side? Are these people really reasoning at all? Do these people really think the Supreme Court would overturn the election and make Nana the president? Really? THIS NA BI COCOA HEAD REASONING OR WHAT?

The majority Ghanaians does not really recognize Mahama as the President of the country and have chosen to go about their individual jobs in search for food for the families but what they do care, is to sit down helplessly unconcern for any criminally and diabolical imposed budget to wreck the economy of the country beyond national recovery and does why the strong and popular opposition party will be in parliament to defend the people's rights.

Already we are being told that the 2012 budget had a whopper deficit of unbelievably 8.7 million Ghana Cedis. A huge amount which by the economist could have sponsored free SHS education for our children for 8 solid years. Meanwhile the President who had all his education for free was telling the nation that there is no money for such national programme. How did they got the money then to buy cars, sowing machines, lap tops and mobile phones in exchange for votes?

Ghanaians must wise up to wake up!!! We have been taken for granted far too long, made socially and financially poorer and become criminal worshipers as our beloved country is turned into a huge institution of boastful criminals.

What sort of Nation are we building? I believe it takes two people to fight in a bout, what will benefit the Majority Mps if such action is taken? Again, are they going to disconnect the minority Mps' microphones or prevent them from coming to the House? There is a better way of solving these problems than what you (Majority Mps) are trying to do. Assuming it is also boycotted, do you prefer that one to their participation. Pls Ghana belongs to all of us, so lets strive to build a prosperously Nation for the future generations.

Nana Akomea have said that the law does not permit any political party to file a petition challenging the declared results.Mr Opare also has said NPP does not question the legitimacy of Prez Mahama.NPP has now come to terms with Kwame Pianim by accepting that Nana Addo is no longer the leader of the party.These 3 essential factors has crumbled the NPP's diabolic principle.I am sure the Majority wants to uproot the dying NPP principle.It's a strategy that will send high waves to the NPP hierachy.Thank you.

No one person or group of persons has the right to refuse his or her colleagues elected MP to take part in a debate.It's reasonable since the minority is contesting the election result in Court to boycott if they wish. That does not put parliament in recess. Boycotting is part of the game in parliament though.This is simple common sense .So Dr Mustapha & co did not act smart. Since the case is in Court Mahama should not have been sworn in until the Supreme Court announced its verdict. So African democracy was in play.(master say).
