  Even the scheduled meeting between TUC and PURC is just to buy time. Mahama is bent on showing Ghanaians how insensitive he is to the ordinary Ghanaian. However, we in deed deserve this predicament. Next time, people will stone their chiefs for taking 4x4 cars which Mahama bribed them with.

  today our country has the notorious reputation of being one of the most corrupt in the world thanks to pepeni and his band of thieves . we told everyone we knew he had no plan or program to develop the nation except pillage the little monies left and yet today the claim that they could not perform because of a petition . look at their ministers who anything more than 3 pages is a challenge to read talk less of projects whose summaries alone can be over 5000 pages , they are so lazy and selfish that nothing good can come from them . their chief ideologist of evil avenoor was killed and i had planned to go to his grave and urinate and relieve myself on him once every month but he cremated himself i guess i will do so instead on rawlings grave soon. workers are on strike because they know this azaa govt has no clue and in this day and age considering the wealth of the nation no one should work for less than 1000 cedis or 500$ but if free education was such a challenge how can they ever fathom such a reality . they are hopeless so we are preparing for our revolution and telling all righteous to sharpen their knives and bury their guns to wait for for the clarion call. they think they have fooled the Akans especially the fantis , a third of their votes came from the fantis but there is not a single substantiate minister who is a true fanti . they wage war against us Akans but when we come our and call foul they say we are liars . we are ready now so let them bring it on . long live the republic of Akan

  You call the President names but you come up with no alternatives. You all accepted the SSS pay with no increase in productivity. Your NPP which shouts free enterprise cannot and will not invest and create wealth. You practice crony capitalism as all feed on the state . You cannot manage the cocoa farms which are 60-100 years old which means you " hard working people" have been living on what your grand parents left you. Stop shouting and bend your backs and do something

  President Mahama knows that it was not the people's vote that brought him to power that is why he Is toying with the destiny of Ghanaians. He knows that the vote of Ghanaians cannot bring him to power but rather buying the chiefs, the clergy,and the judiciary can make him president. That is why he does not respect or fear Ghanaians and does whatever he likes.

  Kweku is disingenuous. Tarriff increase does not amount to 130%. It is not additive. He is being mischievous.

  Much as I opposite the tariff increases, I do not agree that the combined effect is 130%.
  
  The combined effect is calculated as....
  
  78% + 52% divided by 2 = 65%

  Modern day nation wreckers are so much on the airwaves that real country builders are not being heard. This is dangerous for our mother Ghana. We see differently; developed countries allow government institutions to work; thanks to president Obama who told Ghana to build a strong institutions and allow them to work. In Ghana we have so many non-generational thinkers who criticizes government/institutions on every decision thus making our laws not to work. Abdul Malik Kwaku Baku, Sammy Awuku, the 96% NPP, and many others are driving the country backwards slowly and in a cunning way that is difficult for cannal mind to recognize. Look around the world and tell me the achievements of typical critics; Critics are slow devourers and Ghana is breeding so many of them.

"Since October 1st, tariffs on electricity and water have gone up by 78% and 52% respectively:" Is it not supposed to be approximately 65% increment for both utilities?
  If Joy-Online used to pay 100GHC for electricity and 100GHC for water (total: 200GHC) and must now pay 178GHC for electricity and 152GHC for water (total: 330GHC). Guys, let's be serious!!! Would you be supprised if very soon people go around saying that utility prices have been increased by 130%? Who would then be blamed?

  The utilities are owned by the government. The government also are the ones to approve a rate increase. The investigation into the rate increase was chaired by our Vice President. The report said a minimum of 60% is needed, ok, so why was it put at 78% and 52% in the first place? Also, this is the government investigating and reporting on itself, now, are we all naive enough to believe all that we are being told?

  The distribution of electricity and water supply to various areas at different times have been going on for years, from Rawlings time to the present. Kuffour managed to cut the intermittent supply down that Ghanaians were willing to accept that as the better of two evils. Unfortunately, since Mahama became the President, all we have seen is, everything is going from better to worse. Mr. Mahama, if you do not have any initiative of your own regarding electricity an water supplies, why don't you at least stick to EX-President Kuffour's plan by giving us the barest inconvenience we can tolerate? By the way, from the time you assumed office, what effort have you done to improve the electricity and water supplies for Ghanaians. It seems to me , NOTHING.
