All of a sudden nonentities want to portray to the world how close they were to the late President.
Those who had to chat with him for one hour everyday, those Deputy Ministers who had to call him every morning before the man could even brush his teeth, and still those who would be called to the Castle by the late President to express his appreciation for job well done after they had gone to insult political opponents in the media on his behalf. Shameless id.iots raising their egos

Oil companies import water
General News of Thursday, 2 May 2013
Source: Daily Graphic
International oil companies in the Jubilee Field now import potable water from Cote d’Ivoire and Benin because of the inability of the Ghana Water Company (GWC) in the Western Region to meet their water supply demands.
“As a result of this shortage, supply vessels go to Cote d’Ivoire to buy water to service the offshore oil and gas industry, at a very high cost to the Government of Ghana,” Mr Nuetey Adziman, the Executive Secretary of the Ghana Oil and Gas Service Providers Association (GOGSPA), said.
In an interview with the Daily Graphic in Takoradi, Mr Adziman said though he was unable to determine the volumes of water imported by the oil companies, they could run into millions of cubic metres a day.
The cost of importing the water is added to the cost of development of the various oilfields in which the government has shares and, therefore, contributes in paying.
Meanwhile, the GWC has said its inability to supply adequate water to communities in its catchment area is due partly to the activities of galamsey operators.
Currently, according to GWC officials, the company produce less than two million cubic metres of water per day, instead of six million cubic metres.
It is for this reason that the Western Regional Security Council (REGSEC) has expressed shock at the revelation that the Minerals Commission has granted permits to three mining companies to mine gold in some rivers in the Sekyere Hemang area.
This is at a time when efforts are being made to stop galamsey activities along river banks.
A letter written by the Minerals Commission to the REGSEC which was sighted by the Daily Graphic said from the commission’s records, 21 applications were currently pending.?
The letter was signed by the Principal Inspector of Mines, Mr Evans K. Addae.
Mining in water bodies (dredging) is permitted by the Inspectorate Division of the Minerals Commission in some instances.
Experts have, however, warned that if steps are not taken to repeal that law for water to flow before the middle of this year, when the international oil companies would be returning to the country to start operations, the country will lose a lot.
They strongly advise against the daily importation of water into the country at a cost to the government
Mr Adziman said the development had become a great source of worry to members of GOGSPA because the continuous importation of water defeated the local content agenda.
`He said the country could not boast of promoting “local content and local participation” in petroleum activities as prescribed in the Petroleum Exploration and Production Act when water had to be imported, noting that the supply vessels had been forced to resort to water importation.

"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.

Talk sense. What was the population of Ghana at that time. Study a little USA history and you will learn that at the time of Nkrumah, some parts of Almighty USA were using communual bathrooms and toilets. How much did the British left for Ghana? If Nkrumah had not been overthrown by Kotoka and the rest Ghana would have been like North Vietnam, China or North Korea.
Nkrumah was a dictator. Who was his vice? He had none. That tells you his nature. How could he declare himself president for life and also make Ghana a one party state. He wasted Ghana's money on his useless ambition to be president for Africa. He is responsible for the protracted war in Congo. How much did he give to Guinea so that they will become socialist country. The way he spent the money of Ghana after independence and the developments he made do not match. Ask your parents and grandfathers why Ghanaians had started to queue for soap, milk baby food and even rice. What did his useless Young Pioneer achieve except to serve as a spying wing for his regime. Why did Ghanaians across the country jubilate when he was overthrown? They had had enough. You need to study a little more of Ghana history. What were the Russian and Chinese security doing at the Flagstaff house during his overthrow? He put Ghana in the middle of the Cold war between USA and Soviet Union. That was why the CIA ensured his overthrow. When Rawlings did same and aligned Ghana with Cuba and the Pan Am bomber Qaddafi, that is when Ghanaians went hungry and the Rawlings chain. In international politics you work with countries who can help your country to develop and not those who can make you a dictator. When Rawlings learnt some sense and stopped opposing the West and embraced democracy, things started to improve for Ghana. As for Nkrumah, he dug his own grave.

Paul, can you respectfully and kindly tell me which of the points I posted that does not reflect the facts of history? Was Nkrumah not a dictator? Did he not declare himself President for life? What did he send Capt Kata to do in Congo? Who was Nkrumah's deputy? What was the purpose of the young Pioneer? Were there not Chinese and Russian Military intelligence at the Flagstaff House at Nkrumah's time? Was he not trying to spread Socialism in Africa and so spent our money aimlessly on countries like Guinea? If you are too young, ask your grandparents if queuing for basic needs after 1964. I am old enough to know much about Ghana at the time of Nkrumah and also majored in History. What was the purpose of the Young Pioneer apart from spying for his government? What was the purpose of the PDA apart from jailing his political opponents without trial? Was it not China , Russia, North Korea and North Vietnam who had such institutions to silence opposition? Just give me answers to these questions then I shall agree if my facts are wrong. Let us thank Kotoka Harley Ankrah and Afrifa for liberating Ghanaians from the clutches of autarchy.

Dear Frank Agyena-Karikari,Why do you write onesided stuff? I expect this from someone,brainwashed by Imperilists and Neocolonialists.I am 76 years old now and have been a consultant in surgery in Germany since 1974.I left Ghana to study medicine in Europe in 1960 because there wasn`t such a facility after many years of colonialism.Dr. Nkrumah has been the only Prez.who had a vision and was commited in improving the lot of the poor in our soceity.He was the shining star of all Blacks and spearheaded the fight for African Independence.Why was he voted "the African Personality of the 21st.century" by the UNO?Even Mandela didn`t qualify for that!Do you want to tell me that idiots voted for him?Unfortunately, you forgot to mention the terrorist acts of the "Matemeho" and the 8 assassination attempts on Dr. Nkrumah`s life!Ghana could have been a better place if his 7 year development plan had been put through.China is now leading the world in almost everything and this is a communist state!Have you forgotten the slave trade by the imperialists?I wonder how a Blackman like you,supposed to be proud,can write such weed!Dr. Nkrumah collected our 200 million pounds the British used to support their economy and just look at the infrastructural developments that took place!Akosombo Damm, Tema Harbour plus township,Accra-Tema Motorway,Day secondary schools,factories,Ghana Airways with about 12 aeroplanes,Black Star Line ships,Hospitals, Universities just to mention a few.His achievements didn`t please our former masters therefore, they did everything possible to get him overthrown when he was outside the country on a peace mission to Vietnam!All African leaders have praised Dr. Nkrumah for all that he did and his overthrow by the CIA and Idiots in Ghana sent us 100 years back.Everything for which we are proud of in Ghana was built by Dr. Nkrumah.Have you also forgotten that there were plebiscites do determine the future of Ghana?Things were done according to the results.Dr. Nkrumah did his best for Ghana and Africa.He didn`t dig his own grave.People with primitive brains collaborated with the CIA to have him overthrown because he was a thorn in their flesh!Wasn`t it Dr. NKrumah who stopped the French from testing their atomic bombs in the Sahara?Read a little bit more and give praise where it is due.Even American Blacks cherished and still cherish Dr. Nkrumah.Also know that the capitalists never helped us during our fight for independence but the socialist and communist countries did.Have a nice day!

You also wrote one-sided story. No one dispute the fact that Nkrumah did nothing. He did well and remember that he was the only leader who did not inherit any debt but left debt. Remember also that he borrowed money for the construction of the Akosombo Dam. The records are there.
Nkrumah was so power drunk that if he had concentrated on developing Ghana, it would have been an "envy" to all buy he used our monies to try to liberate the entire continent of Africa which was a mistake. The money that he used to support freedom fighters in other countries, was a mistake. What did that Ghana-Guinea-Mali alliance do for us? It was our money that he used to finance that useless alliance. There is a report that he built a railway line in Mauritania and just imagine that.
When Nkrumah was in power, who was his vice? If he had no vice, why?

Yes indeed, we have a failed nation with useless leaders.Just imagine denying good drinking water and power to the citizenry,yet our President is proposing to build a giant statue for our first leader.To understand why such an outrageous project is under consideration,one has to realize that our present President or a party apparatchik is going to make a killing over such a project.So why worry about doing all that he could to provide, once and for all, these two basic but important needs,water and power,for the people,huh?
A national hospital like KATH,has to suspend surgeries for lack of water,wow! That "Dr" should be glad we call Ghanaian politicians thieves,bcos there are worse names that jump into mind that would be too uncouth to mention through this medium.
Our country is not only a failed nation,it's a pathetic one and my fellow citizens should take the cue from our Egyptian brothers and demonstrate our utmost disgust for the way our dear motherland is being governed.

This something stupid with some Ghanains whose political leanings make them blind and show their foolery. Kuffour did things that were economically bad and socially unacceptable. Doe that mean Mahama should do same? Can we learn from history and make wiser decisions? Judges were abducted and murdered, women were stripped naked and beaten during Rawlings time. Does it mean it is something we as Ghanaians can be proud of and so should have been repeated by Kuffour and Mills and now by Mahama. This is why our country is retrogressing and we cannot have electricity and water for our hospitals. Now, instead of reasoning up and thinking of important solutions to the problems Ghana face, many look at issues from the political and tribal prism. I feel sorry for Ghana.

With so many so so-called learned leaders and citizens........we continually find ourselves in these dire straits of non-development.
QUOTE: "In the abundance of water, the fool is thirsty."
Well.....I don't mean it literally but, it seems to fit in with this subject at stake.
We have the sea surrounding us, our rivers and lakes etc.
Because of our 'mis-education', our God-given minds cannot be challenged enough to utilize all this, for our own benefit. Hmmmmm!!!!
So, one asks ones self - what are these educated illiterates in our country doing about it? Can anything be done by a country that imports toothpicks and toilet rolls? Hmmm!!!
I wonder! Oh! God, I wonder!
Absolutely nothing! I guess....... But we would rather embark on Miss Ghana-Ghana, Miss Ghana-Universe, Miss Ghana-Global etc. etc. and all sorts of CRAP!!!!!!
With its contestants and winners being offered luxurious items for nothing. Yes! I mean nothing to benefit our dear nation.
Whilst our local brains are lying idle without any incentives to challenge their minds to help find solutions to some, if not all our problems........For instance, this water shortage at Komfo Anokye Hospital could be open to a competition to challenge our KNUST and other public minds for luxurious prizes......and I can assure you that the solutions will be forthcoming in abundance.
Instead of Miss Ghana this and that - put up the prizes for innovative minds that can help find ways and means to solving our problems. And off course with the backing of the government. (Well, will leave them out for now, for another day, because they need fire up their back-sides to deliver).
The solutions of are problems are in our own hands and staring at our own faces but, unfortunately, we have gotten all our priorities wrong. And always chasing foreigners to solve our problems for us. Not discounting the abundance of resources at our disposal to raise funds for this.
What a shame Ghana!!!!!
GOD BLESS GHANA!
AFRICAN FOREVER!

It is the fault of those who put them there. Some people and tribes affiliate themselves with NDC regardless of their performance and that is destroying the country. For example, they are going to spend money to celebrate the birth and death of Atta Mills as if that is urgent but the people are silent, instead of being BOLD to speak out against such a shameful decision.

What is happening to mother Ghana? Instead of pursuing policies to improve and sustain lives we are rather wasting funds on vilifying the dead. What sense does it make to spend millions of Ghana Cedis belonging to the people to celebrate the 1st anniversary of the death of the late President Atta Mills to the detriment of the living? What of the millions of dollars of judgement debts wrongly paid and the over expenditure of the government and its massive corruption? Couldn't all these monies have been used to improve the lives of Ghanaians? Well, a word to the wise is enough!!!!
