...So, the people around the president including his wife and those Team “B” staffers were aware of the president failing health. Therefore, who were they kidding when they ruin insults on whoever questions the former president health?
As much as I hate to admit Rawlings was right with his statement. If they have had listen to those who were concern with the president health, he might be alive today..

Where does it end? Ghana is not for only christians and muslims, in fact the traditionalists are the silent majority and our moral and cultural values are reference to them rather than any of the foreign two.
Hence forth, there should be a law on separation of church/mosque and state.

You are right! What is wrong with these current law makers? You live in total darkness, than you carry all these buch of cash to buy an air ticket for this nonesence? You have no water to drink, than you carry this cash to buy an air ticket for this nonesence? You live in a country where by schools has no water than you use cash to buy metal detectors for exams? You have an Airport where by drugs are been smuggled into you country, than you buy these metal dectect or and mount ten at to school?
We need solar panels for the schools than you buy metal detectors for exams papers. Etal dectectors ate for metals, not for papers.
We need good drinkable waters in our schools, than you use this cash for nonesence? Oh Ghana! When would all these nonesence be over? It looks like we need another June 4th uprising. Accountability and assessment.

This is surely an abuse of the peoples cake. Distributed to a few to the detriment of all. Sponsoring people to watch football matches and all that is very bad of a poor country. If I were a donor,I will never give aid money to countries like Ghana who waste resources selectively. Who Doesnt Want to Go to Mecca or ISREAL?

Since when did God moved from Ghana to Israel? why can't Ghanaians tell a little truth when it comes to political afairs? We all know the way this government is wasting our money on unnecissary necesities, but because he is our party leader, we want to cover the truth and justify these stupid deeds whiles we are suffering. He can use these monies that he is just wasting for nothing to even buy generators for our hospitals, or help to reduce the cost of education so that the poor ones can also benefit.let's be a little wise and be faithful to ourselves and stop supporting blindly KK stop been Naive Pls.

A trip to Jerusalem IS NOT an obligation for the christian. If government has some leftovers and would want to sponsor some pastors to Jerusalem for tourist purposes, fine, but certainly not to pray for the nation. I hear God speak to me even when I sit on the 'throne' in my bathroom. Clearly, government doesn't know bible. That's why they are 'POLITRICIANS'.

It is sad that Africans read very little and especially history. Religion was the cornerstone of slavery by both Christians and moslems. But Christians were worst culprit. Go to all the slavery castes, it has a chapel. Islam did their bit through the Sahara etc. all these countries people are eager to go are extreme racist to the core. Being it Saudi or Israel. All these pilgrimage are just historical facts in their part of the world that due to education was written down. All the commandments and various lifestyle to rebuke mankind are well vested in our various ethnic groups if we will listen to our old folks. Their so many sacred places within Ghana here, but our religious zealots will tell you it is fetish and voodoo. Quite sad and pathetic of this modern age. Go back and learn your culture with deep rooted values and which is less materialist.politician with disabled mind with throng the homes, offices and pastors for special prayers and predictions. We need to develop our mind. Those countries has package their countries to look very spiritual for the religious to visit. I was there and did not feel anything. Gay and lesbian bars are springing over there. They would not accept any body outside their rank and file. Our God of omnipresent sees all of us as same without boundaries. Please use these monies to provide basic needs for same deprived people who voted for you not Israel and Saudi Arabia.

A nation that is ruled by fools with their heads dangling between their tails will wastes the country resources to sponsor pastors to visit Israel. Even God will be upset with the leaders in GHANAIAN knowing well 90% of the citizens are living well below the poverty line. And the money could be used to serve the poor in the country.

WHY WHY WHY wastes $2MILLION dollars on these pastors while the nation is BROKE!! As it is written, God will only help those who help themselves. Therefore, if you are LAZY & CORRUPT as Oman-Ghana, wasting money to send these pastors to Israel will not bare any fruits to our Nation.

Why not Pay the POPE to come to GHAHA if you our leaders are that ignorant and STUPID?

If the clergy are sincere, if they truly go by The Book, they'll tell the gov't there're more vital needs to spend that much money on in the country, and that they can pray in Ghana. No suitable place to hold them all? Lots of space along the Volta, our major river, or along the shores of our ocean!!
