HOPELESSNESS, HELPLESSNESS AND FEELING OF DESPONDENCY HAVE GRIPPED OUR YOUTH. TROUBLE IS BREWING!!!!!!!!!!!!!---MAHAMA AND HIS BUNCH OF CROOKISH INCOMPETENT CORRUPT MONSTERS CAN NEVER DO IT! NO! NOT IN A MILLION YEARS!!! NDC LACK THE BRAINS. ---------------WHO CAN PROVE KWASI ADADE WRONG? I AM SAYING, THAT, GHANAIANS VOTED FOOLISHLY!!-- IS THIS NDC'S BETTER GHANA? THEN WHAT WILL THEIR BITTER GHANA BE?--- IF THIS IS NDC'S PRAISE THE LORD, THEN, WHAT WILL THEIR CRUCIFY HIM BE?--- GHANA'S PROBLEM, TODAY, IS NOTHING BUT THE RESULT OF CRIMINAL NDC'S ALLIANCE TO CREATE, LOOT AND SHARE POLICY***---------------*** "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.

Kwesi, I guess you don't get annoyed when writing your input which I loved to read. Anyway to make it more readable and conform with writing ethics, would you kindly desist from writing in Upper Case and also try to paragraph your opinions. Thanks anyway for your insight in Ghana Politics. E&OE.

Meanwhile, the news media attempts to divert us with the squabbling among the thieves.

Arthur Kennedy, the judges are part of the create, loot and share enterprise when it comes to the judgement debt payments. Most, if not all the judges who sat on judgement debt cases directly and indirectly benefited from the payments. That is why they did not stop what were obviously fraudulent claims.

Mahama is like a rotten egg stinking all over the place. How can a chief corrupt leader attack corruption? It won't work, that's why Mahama is a failure. He is just practicing 'smart-politics' (cheap talk) playing on the minds of people and looting the nation. Ghana must off-load him for a useful person.

World bank(Zoomlion), Gallup report, Ghana Integrity Initiative, Transparency International, Emile Short, Chief Justice, Rashid Pelpuo, Tony Aidoo, Martin Alamisi Benz Kaiser Amidu, JJ Rawlings, civil society organizations, the opposition-NPP, PPP demonstration against corruption, media reports, etc, etc, all goes to buttress the position that, John Mahama and Amissah Arthur's recklessly corrupt nature and their unbridled support for everything corrupt has brought the country to it's knees. The masses gave legitimacy to the NDC gov't, the masses entrusted their mandate to this recklessly corrupt NDC gov't and the same masses need to rise up and take their mandate back from this recklessly corrupt, incompetent and inept team, to safeguard their future and the future of generations yet unborn. Ghanaians rise up and defend your land against this stinking, rotten, corrupt, rot and financial malfeasance, being perpetrated by this NDC gov't, which has led to the failure of the country on all fronts.

Writing now from South Carolina, USA, Arthur Kennedy has not by any way checked out of town (Ghana) abi? I am only asking a question ooo, so no-one should insult me ooo!!! For the new mantra -- or is it military order -- in town now is: check out of the town if you find the kitchen too hot to bear! I need to add, though, that in Arthur Kennedy's case, one is not too sure which kitchen, if any, whether NPP as a party or Ghana today, that may have turned too hot for him to bear! Given his seemingly unceasing complaints about the going-ons in the NPP recently, one is tempted to point at the NPP kitchen! But there's no denying that Ghana today, the Ogyakrom, is a boiling political cauldron -- strikes upon strikes here and there, corruption in gargantuan form and Woyomean-style, economy seeming to have taken a southern turn while almost a year on the road the presidency is still "riding" only in first gear!!! Allah Help Us!!!

Are they now voting with their feet? If so, who's next, Tony Aidoo or Alan Bagbin? It's only a question ooo, and an innocuous one it is!!!

The Ghanaian with TWO foreign names (Arthur Kennedy), I think you have here criticized yourself and your likes who spend all the time in the world to criticize NPP when corruption was consuming Ghana in daybreak.

Do you remember when he got that contract uncontetsted he came out to defend it by saying he was the best qualified. You're right.

Forthright thinking; make him the NPP candidate and I will vote for him. I'm yet to see an immature post from this rare specie of NPP descent.

I agree with Arthur K's argument that corruption pervades our entire system including the judiciary, and that the President should not only be heard, but BE SEEN TO LEAD in the fight against corruption.

I have expressed similar sentiments elsewhere on this forum and hope a CRITICAL MASS of well meaning Ghanaians of integrity will rise up (from all parties) and be counted in a unified fight to rid our nation of this chronic menace which seems to be worsening, not diminishing!!!
