When Kwaku Baako informed us about the atrocities of Kwesi Pratt during PNDC Regime, some of us did not believe until the truth was confirmed during the NRC. Kwesi Pratt is the most dangerous Journalist Ghana had ever have, he had the gut to recommend his fellow journalists to be executed by PNDC. Pratt even recommended Baako to be killed by the regime, thank God Baako was instead touchered violently and severely but his life was spared. This is what Kwesi Pratt can do. Now Pratt is a secret agent to NDC and US Embassy in Ghana. May God forgive Pratt and spare him the untold evils that will come upon him and his generations. The souls of those journalist killed through Pratt's recommendations to PNDC will never forgive Pratt. Now Pratt has the guts to take Diplomatic Passport and smuggled his weak-headed children to work at the Ministries under Mills NDC, may God forgive Pratt and his dependance and spare them of the evils ahead of them...

when fools meets one should not be surprised by the stupidity they can produce . Ghana is more aware of the ethnic divisions than ever before because it really does matter . people think that democracy is only about winner takes all elections and do not understand its also a style of governance. pepeni and his ndc idiots would like to implement an authoritarian dictatorship but are too weak so settle for massa , yes sir boss and these stupid recognitions, meanwhile their incompetent govt no dey see top to do anything better.ideas and desires centuries old such as the free Akan state are attacked by their illiterate foot-soldiers who are frightened that this will come to be so they try and write superficially sick commentaries that can never succeed in hiding the truth , long live the republic of Akan

In as much as we think about sabotage, we have to be even more scientific. Have we taken a look at the possibility of the substation being overloded in the attempt to get electricity to all so the pressure will be off Mahama a bit?
What about the crazy illegal electricity connections at the markets and the usage of faulty LPG cylinders to cook? Let us consider all these factors as possible causes for the fire outbreaks.

Having bulldozed all burnt structures at Kantamanto Market, for example, how do you proceed with such investigation. You need certain artifacts of evidence to establish the naturalness or otherwise suspicion for a fire.

No wonder such investigations are going to be purely based on hearsay!

Why now? You should have said this long ago! Every fire outbreak should have been investigated immediately. I hope the fire that burnt Rawlings house will also be investigated.

Open your eyes and mind. Do you need to ask the so called heads to do investigations. Instead of that they are thinking of what next to do with the land. They are not helping the country, Mr President.

I believe it is a bit late in the day Mr President. Some of us had warned that these fires were suspicious and suggested that the relevant national security apparatus undertake thorough investigations into the earlier fires including the first Achimota sub-station fire.

Apparently this was not done. This is a real shame and is very disappointing. Automatically, these occurrences should have triggered a national security alert and been taken seriously at that level.

You need to keep your finger on the pulse at all times Sir, and your appointees better realise their true roles and stop making cheap political statements on our media!

Sir, I am adding my voice to Paul's ;it appears your communication machinery, your security apparatus, and the snippets of information are not working to capacity. Politics is cynical everywhere and the call has always been that , the end justifies the means. We need vociferous communicators. The Info Minister must be a no nonsense type,very abrasive, offensive in action and controlling .
What the incumbent is doing is average rated, he can do better. I believe and trust that he can deliver.

This is a clear political sabotage.Ghanaians must embrass the use of security cameras.These fires are not just accidents they are planned and executed .Government have to beef up security. I feel this is the work of a group of people who have done it several times and escaped being caught.The police and military should be allowed to do their job the African way sometimes.

The president with his security men are fast asleep and too weak to act ,the many fire outbreak across the nation in ECG substations,market places and others are all act of sabotage to collape the social and economic lives of many ghanaians and also to blame the president for failures ,the government security agencies should have known this to improve security in these sites and premises with armed guards ,those who are setting or damaging national properties are agents of the opposition party and also work with the ECG and wonder why they have been caught ,i urge the president to wake up and arrest these headless and evil idiots who dont deserve to live on earth but be sent to live on mars.

Do you believe Sir John set the fire that burnt Rawlings' house? Government has real investigations to conduct. The fires may be the doing of his own people.
