Mahama is mentally disabled enough to represent the PWDs; what's the problem?

SUCH A SILLY JOKE ON A SERIOUS MATTER SHOWS HOW SERIOUS YOU TAKE THE PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED AND THEREFORE HOW MENTALLY DISABLED YOU MAY BE WITHOUT REALISING IT!!

A retired gentleman went to apply for Social Security. After waiting in line for quite a long time, he arrived at the counter. The woman behind the counter asked him for his identification to verify his age. The man looked in his pockets and realized he had left his wallet at home. "Will I have to go home and come back now?" he asked. The woman paused and then said, "Unbutton your shirt." The man opened his shirt, revealing lots of curly silver hair. The woman said, "That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me," as she processed his Social Security application. When he got home, the man excitedly told his wife about his experience at the Social Security office. She said, "You should have dropped your pants--you might have qualified for disability, too.

All governments in Ghana have been making this mistake. I believe that two people could have been dropped to make way for the PWDs. The security detail and some staff in the team were nt needed in NY. Our leaders should be bold when it comes to these issues. After all once the president touched down in the US his personal security was in the hands of the us security. Let us stop considering these trips as thank you visits.

WAS THE UN CONVENED THIS YEAR TO SPECIFICALLY DWELL ON PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES FOR WHICH GHANA HAD TO SEND A REPRESENTATIVE?
WE SHOULD SYMPATHIZE WITH THE SEGMENT OF OUR POPULATION WHICH IS UNFORTUNATELY AFFECTED BY DISABILITY IN ONE FORM OR THE OTHER BUT, ITS MOST ANNOYING WHEN POLITICIANS TRY TO MAKE CAPITAL OUT OF IT.
IF YOU TRULY LOVE THE LESS FORTUNATE IN OUR FOLD, WHY NOT JUST GO TO YOUR BANK AND MAKE A STANDING ORDER, DONATING PART OF YOUR EASY AND ILL GOTTEN SALARY TO THE FUND OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITY? THIS WAY EVERYBODY WOULD KNOW YOU MEAN WELL.
HOW MUCH IS YOUR TAKE HOME SALARY AND, OTHER FRINGE BENEFITS? DO YOU WHAT KNOW WHAT THE STATE SPENDS ON YOU AS A USELESS MP IS ENOUGH TO LIFT THOUSAND OF PEOPLE OUT OF BELLOW THE POVERTY, AS MEASURED BY THE UN?
POLITICIANS SHOULD KEEP THEIR DIRTY MOUTHS SHUT WHILE TO CONTINUE TO FLEECE PEOPLE BUT THEY SHOULD NOT FORGET THAT THE DAY OF ACCOUNTABILITY WILL SURELY COME IN ONE WAY OR THE OTHER

Has Prez Mahama not appointed a disabled person as Minister of State? What did the greedy thief do in his 8 years of misrule and LOOTING?

There once was a lady who was tired of living alone. So she put an ad in the paper which outlined her requirements. She wanted a man who 1) would treat her nicely, 2) wouldn't run away from her, and 3) would be good in bed.

Then, one day, she heard the doorbell ring. She answered it, and there on the front porch was a man in a wheel chair who didn't have any arms or legs.

"I'm here about the ad you put in the paper. As you can see, I have no arms so I can't beat you, and I have no legs so I can't run away from you."

"Yes, but are you good in bed?"

"How do you think I rang the doorbell?"

Owusu is saying in other country blind people drive. But she did no mentioned the country. She should stop deceiving us. This will only happen in her home town.

Madam and her friends demanded UN to award their Nana Nobel Price for deciding not to embark any longer on suicide mission. How can anyone take NPP serious when they do not take Ghanaians seriously?

They knew very well that had they embarked on any disturbances in the country after they lost the election they would have been crushed very decisively. Hence, Nana´s "sputnic speed" acceptance of the SC ruling.

They should know that the committee that runs the Nobel Prize Award are not simpletons but wise men and women.

Who would award a person simply because he chickened out of committing suicide?

Providing simple health care delivery even is a problem in Ghana, how much more the blind driving on our roads, Madam?

Ms Owusu said in other jurisdictions, PWDs were treated with dignity and respect, adding in those areas, “blind and deaf persons drive cars and live normal lives just like any other person.”

NND is treating Ghanaians as how South Africa was sometime ago. If you do not belong to the NDC you will get nothing. They has to be very careful

Ursula Owusu should name the country where the blind are currently allowed to drive.

Where an individual cannot hear, how can they react to an emergency, while behind the wheel?

There are self-driving vehicles under development, but they are not out yet.

Why does this this parliamentarian continue to make a fool of herself?
