Those who are enjoying the benefits and many of who have influence on the President will not listen. Mahama too has not got the balls to slash salaries and benefits to politicians,and also stop appointing all these ministers with their double deputies, some of who talk trash to striking workers.

They come from the literate elite( middle class) which includes the not so modest Pratt, the not so modest clergy, the not so modest public servants, the not so modest university administrators ,etc! A people deserve the leaders they get, especially in a democracy. The fingers point at us too, infact four fingers against one!!!

The leaders are not from space, they come from among the PEOPLE. So the problem has little to do with leadership and much to do with a reflection of our society.

THE WRITING IS NOW ON THE WALLS. ECONOMIC & SOCIAL UNREST THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. PEOPLE WILL NOW TAKE MY WORD SERIOUS.-------"IT IS ONLY A FOOL, WHO ALLOWS HIS TESTICLES TO BE STEPPED ON TWICE"-------GO OUT THERE AND RECEIVE YOUR REWARD, ALL GHANAIANS. GO AND PAY THE PRICE FOR YOUR FOOLISHNESS. YOU DON'T GIVE A SECOND MANDATE TO AN INCOMPETENT AND CORRUPT GOVERNMENT, NO!! NOT AT ALL, THAT IS ABOMINATION IN DEMOCRACY, VERY SUICIDAL. HAD NDC MANAGED THE ECONOMY WELL, THESE ECONOMIC PROBLEMS WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN THE SITUATION. NDC HAS PRESIDED OVER THE BIGGEST RESOURCES GHANA HAS EVER HAD. THEY HAVE ALSO CONTRACTED MORE LOANS THAN ANY OTHER GOVERNMENT IN OUR HISTORY, BUT THEY HAVE NOTHING TO SHOW FOR THIS. GHANAIANS SHOULD HAVE ENJOYED SOME ECONOMIC PROGRESS AT THIS TIME IN OUR HISTORY. THE ECONOMY IS COLLAPSING BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT IS SO CORRUPT. TO RESCUE THE SITUATION, THE POOR IS NOW BEING FORCED TO PAY. THIS IS INJUSTICE. THIS IS NOT THE GHANA KUFFOUR HANDED OVER TO NDC, HE EVEN ADDED FRESH CRUDE OIL WELLS. NPP TRANFORMED GHANA TO A MIDDLE INCOME ECONOMY WITH LIMITED RESOURCES BUT GOOD POLICIES. NDC IS WOEFULLY REVERSING THESE NPP ACHIEVEMENTS. GHANA'S CURRENT SITUATION IS VERY DISTURBING. WHEN THE HISTORY IS TOLD, IT WILL BE SAID THAT GHANAIANS WERE OFFERED FREE SECONDARY EDUCATION, IMPROVED UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE, SOCIAL HOUSING FOR THE POOR AND AN EGALITARIAN SOCIETY BUT 50% SAID NO THANK YOU. THEY PREFERRED ECONOMIC "WOYOMISATION" , PHANTOM DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS, PHILANDERERS FOR LEADERS, MACHIAVELLIAN DISRESPECTFUL CORRUPT LOUTS AND A VISIONLESS EVIL GOVERNMENT. I AM SO PROUD I VOTED FOR NANA AKUFFO ADDO.

The president should exercise his veto power and use the oil money to pay the striking workers instead of borrowing money to pay them as said the finance minister.

Kwesi,no Ghana Railway worker has been paid a pesewa this year.Salaries are in arrears for the whole of this year.Jan.Feb,Mar,Apr,salaries are yet to be paid.What crime has the Railway worker committed to be treated this way by the government?If the government is fed up with the Railway operations it should pay the workers off.Over the years no government has invested in the railway infrastructure(i.e track)so how do you expect the railway to function.Its is not the state that construct roads for cars to use?How then do you expect railways to use its own funds to construct the track?This is not fair.The current Finance Minister is anti-railway.He has been so even when Mr. Kwabena Duffour was there.Now that Mr. Terpker in the minister God save Railway workers.He does not understand why the railway cannot pay itself.How can it pay itself when all the lines have been closed with exception of the line from Takoradi to Nsuta through no fault of the railway worker but government.Hon. Mr. Terkper be fair to the railway worker.He is also Ghanain and a human being.

Refer to my previous postings and you realise that I speak a lot for the NDC and not for the extremely corrupt NPP.However,regarding the present mass strike that has hit Ghana, the blame must be put at the doorstep of President Dramani Mahama. Who in his right sences will dream of paying such huge sums to these lazy Parliamentarians some of whom have never made a single contribution on the floor of Parliament.President mahama has all of sudden become a begger trying to appease everyboby to win their hearts as a result of his election case in court. He has beaten more than he can chew and this is going to hunt him for his entire tenure of office. Mark it on the wall. This guy has disappointed me so much because he has not learnt from Rawlings and Attah Mills. Weaklings do not rule Ghana because this is a tough country and he is in for tough times.

This is indeed the case in Ghana. How can governments keep drumming home that there is no money while the politicians are living in luxe? They receive fat money and ask the poor to fasten their belts. These politicians pay no electricity, they pay no fuel, they pay no rent, no hospital bills, they get all these things free yest they get fat salaries and bonuses, while the masses are suffering! It is time we call spade, spade and call the bluff of these criminals turn politicians!

Tell your fellow journalists to sacrifice a little for the people. Why do we negligently ignore the plight of the masses to live big. From self-contain homes to expensive cars/trucks to comfort-secured offices, choices of diets and even bathrooms all at the expense of the just needy? If you hold back any truth, you will answer some day. God be with you to continuing this path.

They came to feast on our sweat and hard work, not to solve our many problems. As a matter of fact, they're adding more problems with their short sighted so called National Agenda. The only way our leaders will wake up from their merry making egos is for the people to strike and send the message that ," WE MEAN BUSINESS "

We have on several occasions elaborated the evil agenda of the ewes and some northerners to destroy the very substance of the Akan. we go further as there still some fools who underestimate the severity and dire nature of this conspiracy. everyone was surprised when a so called pepeni christian chose mainly alajihs , were shocked by the trip to Turkey and the Lebanese or sekou's somersault of political parties. in every day life stories of children from mixed ethnic backgrounds denying and negating their Akan heritage in favor of the ewes or northerners eg fifi kwetey whose mother is fanti. this is a war against the Akans period and its time to stand up. below i have extracted from Wikipedia the translations of verses in the Qur'an and ideologies so you see where this comes from. the hypocrisy and the recommended camouflage when undermining the efforts and desires of the Akans .
Qur'an chapter 4.89. They yearn that you should disbelieve just as they disbelieved, so that you might be all alike. Do not, therefore, take from among them confidants and allies until they emigrate (to Mad?nah and join you) in God's cause. But if they turn away (from this call and continue their hostility against you), seize them and kill them wherever you find them; and do not take to yourselves any of them as confidant, nor as helper.
9:5 When the sacred months are over slay the idolaters wherever you find them. Arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them.
Taqiyya ???? (alternate spellings taqiyeh,taqiya, taqiyah, tuqyah) is a form of religious dissimulation,[1] or a legal dispensation whereby a believing individual can deny his faith or commit otherwise illegal or blasphemous acts while they are at risk of significant persecution.[2]
Kitman (Arabic kitm?n ????? "secrecy, concealment") is the act of paying lip service to authority while holding personal opposition. It is a sort of political camouflage, for the purpose of survival, in circumstances where open opposition would result in persecution.
