FOR FIVE YEARS, THEY HAVE NOT EVEN BEEN ABLE TO FINISH NSAWAM SUHUM PIECE OF ROAD STARTED BY K4, THINKING THEY ARE HURTING ASHANTIS. THEY DON'T KNOW THAT THEY ARE RATHER EXPOSING THEMSELVES TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD.YOU LURED BURKINA FASO TO USE TEMA HARBOUR AND AFTER CLEARING THEIR GOODS FROM THE HARBOUR, LOOK AT THE TYPE OF ROADS THEY TRAVEL ON. COUNT THE # OF TRUCKS BURKINA FASO HAS LOST BETWEEN NSAWAM AND SUHUM THROUGH ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS IMPASSABLE ROAD. THE TRUCKS SPEND NOT LESS THAN 4 HOURS FROM NSAWAM TO SUHUM. WHAT A SHAME. WHERE IS THE MONEY GOVT EARNS FROM BURKINA FASO GOVT AND BUSINESSMEN WHO USE TEMA HARBOUR? DOES THIS SPEAK WELL OF GHANA? #2 ALL TOURISTS WHO VISIT GHANA, AFTER VISITING ELMINA CASTLE PLY ON THIS ROAD TO KUMASI AND FURTHER TO THE NORTH. WHAT STORY WOULD THESE TOURISTS TELL ABOUT GHANA, AND OUR ROADS WHEN THEY GO BACK HOME? DON'T YOU THINK THEY WILL AGREE WITH ANY ONE WHO ACCUSES THE GOVT AS BEING CORRUPT AND INEFFECTIVE. DOESN'T NDC GOVT KNOW THAT THE ROAD IS ALSO USED BY OTHER GHANAIANS WHO ARE NOT ASHANTIS? SOME GHANAIANS FROM EASTERN REGION.BRONG AHAFO,WESTERN, NORTHERN REGION, UPPER REGION, SOME TRADERS AND BUSSINESSMEN ALSO USE THE ROAD? NOW, WITH IMPROVEMENT IN AIR TRANSPORT MOST PEOPLE WHO VISIT ACCRA FROM ASHANTI REGION TRAVEL BY AIR.A FEAT NO OTHER REGION IN THE COUNTRY CAN MATCH.WE HAVE PLANES LINKING THE NORTH, BUT ASK ME HOW MANY NORTHNERS CAN AFFORD IHE COST TO FLY. YOU SEE THAT MOST OF THE PASSENGERS ARE AKANS WHO FLY TO THE NORTH TO DO BUSSINESS.SO THE NDC GOVERNMENT SHOULD STOP THINKING IT IS HURTING ASHANTIS. IT IS HURTING OTHER TRIBES THE MORE. THE GOVERNMENT SHOUD RATHER KNOW THAT IT IS HURTING OTHER GHANAIANS ALSO AS WELL AS EXPOSING ITSELF.IT IS EXPOSING ITS CORRUPT,INEFFECTIVE,AND ITS MALPRACTICES TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD AS WELL.

So far you are the only wise one on this forum to make a sensible contribution. After reading this message from the President, my immediate question was: what about the MPs common fund? Have we been able to make them accountable for their share of the common fund? Again why should we make MPs agents of local development? Assemblies are legally obliged to open public tenders for development projects. Even though this is open to abuse at times, at least there's a bidding process, which when abused, and a party felt slighted in the bidding process, there's provision of recourse to court and demand due process. However, the MPs are not accountable to anyone. I agree with you to have this instrument scrapped. It's inimical to development and good governance.

It's always hilarious to hear this caretaker president admonish his subordinates for something he'd perfected in. Mahama spent vast sums of money without authorisation from parliament just to impose himself on Ghana. Where did he generate that money from? Then from nowhere he comes to lecture us on frugality.
We now accept that he hasn't got a clue in what he's supposed to do and must shut up or leave the scene.

our dear confused pepeni has issues and the truth so mixed up in his mind he doesnt know his left from his right. He calls the Europen union development partners , this very same group that spends hundreds of billions on failed states with no potential or natural resources and yet can not even drop 20 billion at the bank of Ghana, but are rather jealous the chinese are able to string along Ghana and they are not sending the country on a another jolly ride themselves. Instead of having chief bullshitter fifi kwetey receive their delegation on his behalf he humiliates us and the institution of the presidency by giving them the time of day. He is not aware his true partners in thick and thin , good or bad are the PEOPLE of Ghana and that the waache seller on the street corner contributes more to the economy than all these foreign messengers put together as they for every dollar they give will eventual extract 10,000 or more. his elementary school mathematics in this regard is nonexistent. He should be spending his time finding out why the civil service is not being productive or approving projects that are profitable instead of spending valuable time on these useless evil motivated scum of the earth foreigners who only wish the downfall and further suffering of the people .

Mahama lacks managerial acumen. He told the gathering“This development has led to the misapplication of the Common Fund on recurrent expenditure by Assemblies even though the Fund is specifically meant for capital expenditure, thereby affecting the execution of many projects".
Corruption of which he is the mastermind is rampant in Ghana because there are no control system (no checks and balances). Even, if there are at all because all the leaders are doing it including the president himself, they don't want to enforce it.
We don't need a rocket science knowledge to address the mispplication/misappropriation of funds issue, just implement controls suchs monthly/quartely reporting to the appropriated department and say quartely auditing of the funds and punish by firing or whatever punishment is appropriate by those who violate the fund management procedures and stipulations.
But one cannot enforce these principle if he himself is not standing on a high moral ground.

PRESIDENT MAHAMA, QUESTIONING IS NOT THE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEMS.

YOU WERE ELECTED TO IDENTIFY GHANA'S PROBLEMS AND SOLVE THEM.

THE TWO TRIBAL BIGOTS KWASI APPIAH AND KWESI NYANTAKYI WILL COLLAPSE THE BLACK STAR TEAM IF THE MINISTER OF SPORTS AND THE PRESIDENT OF GHANA CONTINUE TO REMAIN ALOOF AND SIT ON THE FENCE UNTIL THIS SITUATION GETS OUT OF HAND.

GHANA LEADERS ARE DOWNRIGHT USELESS.

ALL THEY KNOW IS "SCRATCH MY BACK TODAY, I SCRATCH YOUR'S TOMORROW"

GHANA IS SINKING FAST "IN EVERY DEPARTMENT" AND THE LEADERSHIP IS BEHAVING AS THOUGH OTHERS HAVE TO DO THE THE JOBS THEY CAMPAIGNED FIERCELY FOR AND BEEN ELECTED TO DO.

FROM:

NDC YOUTH
ASUNAFO NORTH CONSTITUENCY
GOASO

TO:
H.E. MR. JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA
PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF GHANA
THE CASTLE
OSU, ACCRA

Mr. President Without any prejudice, we register our concerns and bring up to date, the state of our NDC party in the Asunafo North Municipality.
Mr. Johnson Asiedu Nketia (General Secretary of NDC) after the NDC won the 2012 elections said in a party’s press conference that “For Everything, I Believe in Organization”.
Mr. President, we do not believe that Asunafo Constituency is seemingly an NPP stronghold as some dishonest NDC members are claiming, but they won the election on a silver platter through hard work and organizing; and through virtuous leadership we can also win it back, for organization determines everything.
Mr. President, we are concern members of NDC in Asunafo North and are dissatisfied with our Constituency Executives and the Municipal Chief Executives in the person of Hon. Alhaji Mohammed Kwaku Doku.

Mr. President, let any NDC loyalist(s) dare ring a bell in the municipality that MKD is not leaving up to expectation, the people around him (Doku) will tell such loyalist(s) or observer that, you either hate Hon. Mohammed Doku or you want his position.
Again, the worse Hon. Doku could tell such loyalist(s) is that, with Alhaji Collins Dauda at the top, nobody can terminate his appointment.
Yes, Hon. Alhaji Collins Dauda could be his ‘anchor’ but the question we are asking is that, is Alhaji Collins Dauda also arrogant, introvert, corrupt and yet win his seat?
Certainly, the answer is no!

Mr. president, if the BNI reports are impartial as we are being made to believe, then, we the youth, cannot accept any reason(s) as to why the party hierarchy have not been informed about a disclosure in the public interest which relates to conflict of interest, corrupt practices and abuse of office by one Mr. Pobi (the Municipal Works Chief Engineer) and Hon. Kwaku Doku. The two (2) condoned and colluded to defraud the Community Based Rural Development Project and the state. In August 2009, the Municipal Chief Executive and Mr. Pobi collaborated and awarded a contract valued at GH? 32,633.40 to themselves with some contractor’s certificate.
Again, on 4th November 2009, Hon. Mohammed Kwaku Doku dishonestly wrote a proposal by false pretenses to the then Zonal Coordinator for the CDRDP in Kumasi, titled; Submission of Proposal for Funding Projects with Reference No. C42/BOL2/01. According to the letter, Hon. Mohammed Kwaku Doku was seeking for funding from the CBRDP to complete some initiated projects in towns namely Abebresekrom Edwinase and Kasapin all in the municipality. Meanwhile, the said projects had been awarded on contract by the Assembly Tendered Board Committee in 2004 and 2007 and those projects had reached a level of completion through funds from the Assembly share of the District Assembly Common Fund.
This act by Municipal Chief Executive made the NDC party propaganda secretary doubling as the Assembly member for Fawohoyeden electoral area had no other options than to file a petition to the COMMISSION FOR HUMAN RIGHT AND ADMINISTRATIVE JUSTICE; pursuant to chapter 24/284/1 of the 1992 constitution of Ghana. The case is still pending.

Mr. President, have we calculated the amount of tax monies that the consolidated fund has missed? Is it not also glaring that the people in those communities that CBRDP should have benefited will not witness the good work that the Assembly should have done in terms of community development as a prerequisite to the better Ghana agenda?

Mr. President, the story, again, is been told about how the Municipal Chief Executive, Hon. Kwaku Doku (seeing it as business) fraudulently recommended someone who is neither a staff member nor an appointee of the assembly to the Belgium consulate/embassy for visa.
Again, the Assembly purchased a Caterpillar (Grader) to ease the construction and the repair of feeder roads in the municipality. As we speak now, the caterpillar is been given out for private hiring but the assembly members know nothing about any financial account that operates such hiring of the caterpillar.
Besides, the electorates were told that the Goaso township roads would be completed before the 2012 elections but as we speak, nothing much has been done on that project. This town roads issue dearly affected the party during the elections. We, the NDC youth are therefore pleading with your noble office to facilitate the release of the Assembly’s Common Fund for the project. But if the government claims all common funds for the last four years have been paid, then, we are asking Hon. Mohammed Kwaku Doku; NA SIKA WOHE? (Literally meaning, where are the monies).
Mr. President, we have previously said that organization determines everything but after the sudden death of the Constituency Chairman, Mallam Issah, the Constituency executives have not been able to organize a meeting for the party members before, during and after the general election. The affairs of the party are been conducted on the shoulders of some selected members. These selected executives neglected the polling station executives and formed their campaign team which triggered our defeat in Asunafo North Constituency. What worries us most is that about seven people have ‘hijacked’ the party as their personal property and are amassing wealth for themselves, namely Hon. Alhaji Kwaku Doku (the MCE), Sheik Abdulla, Hajia Safia, Madam Gina, Mr. Moses Appau, Mr. Ceaser and a certain Great Bofah.
Fascinatingly, Mr. President, these people through their own ‘ways and means’ want you to retain the M.C.E (Hon. Mohammed Kwaku Doku) of which we the NDC youth absolutely disagree with them. These ‘big’ seven people have created faction and division in the party.
The Municipal Chief Executives and his executives, who lack politician`s attributes, did not only create factions in the party, but truly lead the party into its defeat. Hon. Mohammed Kwaku Doku and the executives could not manage the party well and this created an avenue for a vast majority of the party members joining NPP during the 2012 electioneering period.

Mr. President, we lost most of our strongholds in Asunafo North Constituency all because of Hon. Mohammed Kwaku Doku`s personality and is his choice of a certain Great Boffa; the unpopular campaign manager and a staunch NPP member who has not denounced is his membership through any medium in the municipality. A man, whom, many people in the constituency admit he has no moral grounds due to his bizarre business and social life. This accounts for the reason why for the first time, NDC party lost all the polling stations in Akrodie, Asumura, Ayomso, and even Mim, a town the man Great Boffa was born and bred.

Mr. President, should your government build infrastructure and create jobs in Asunafo North, NDC will continue to lose election because of the arrogance and volatile attitude of Hon. Mohammed Kwaku Doku and the current party executives.

Mr. President, it is also an open secret that Hon Mohammed Kwaku Doku as a parliamentary candidate campaigned ‘skirt and blouse’ and asked the electorate to vote for Nana Addo but vote for him. According to him, Asunafo North Constituency is turning into an NPP stronghold.
But many would have expected that Hon Doku having worked in Goaso Municipality since 1985 and having served as Assemblyman at Abotanso, a suburb of Goaso (1988-1993) could have canvassed many votes in the area but it is disgusting to hear that NDC party is consistently losing all the polling stations in Goaso.

Mr. President, the MCE having realized that his actions woefully affected the party in the 2012 elections is confusing the electorates that he has narrowed the polling gap but any objective observer cannot conclude that Hon. Mohanmmed Kwaku Doku’s candidature abetted in narrowing a gap. We, however, at this juncture asking an undoubting question that; does Hon. Mohammed Kwaku Doku contest a traditional parliamentary seat to win or to help narrow a gap?
Mr. President, it must be stated categorically here that, we, the youth do not in any way underestimate the potential role of the party hierarchy at both regional and constituency level in the course of political appointments. However, we must expose how Hon. Mohammed Kwaku Doku further worsened the chances of the party as he wantonly promised Mr. Mohammed Lamin (son of Imam Lamin Ahmed and a card bearing member of TESCON dating back to his University days at UCC, 1999-2002 thus a staunch member of NPP), a Municipal Chief Executive position should he leave office. It is also evident, that in the never ending Chief Imamship litigation in the Municipality, Hon. Doku openly supported the candidature of Imam Lamin Ahmed faction (the looser). This, his mischievous act let the party down in the Zongo’s.
Hon. Doku created so much resentment among the party’s rank and file and the Zongo Muslim communities which led the historic defection of the Zongo NDC Youth into the field of NPP in February last year. See www.ghanaweb.com -Titled: Zongo NDC Youth in Goaso Defect to NPP.
Mr. President, moreover, Hon Doku as a Municipal Chief Executives and someone aspiring to be the Member of Parliament for Asunafo Constituency had little interaction with the party members due to his inherent poor interpersonal relationship since his assumption into office in 2008. He lacks the ability to inspire and motivates party members at different times. This made incumbent upon Mr. Ben Ephson (renowned pollster) to predict that NDC would once again lose the Asunafo North seat due to Doku’s political aberrations and the aforementioned poor interpersonal human relation.
Indeed, any political psychoanalyst could realize that Mr. Mohammed Kwaku Doku is no force to reckon with by the NPP. If indeed, Hon. Doku and the party executives do not lack those abilities aforementioned, the NPP parliamentary candidate in the person of Hon. Robert Sarfo Mensah (whom, his own party secretary contested in the NPP parliamentary primaries because the secretary like many others believed that he is a flop) would not have won the elections for the third time in Asunafo North Constituency in spite of the NPP’s poor campaign strategy.
Mr. President, these actions of Hon. Doku amounts to contempt and serious indictment on the Assembly and has brought the Assembly’s name to public ridicule. We, the youth are much concerned about the future of the party and can no longer tolerate Hon Alhaji Mohammed Kwaku Doku`s selfishness and political expedient leadership.
We are sincerely calling on you Mr. President that a perfect time has come for the sledge hammer to be used. We would appreciate it best if Hon. Mohammed Kwaku Doku could be immediately removed as a Municipal Chief Executive and give us a proficient leader who can champion the goals of the party and Assembly as well.
Hoping to hear from your office very soon, Mr. President
Thank you.
