Mr. minister, all the examples given that in Singapore, USA,etc etc. taxes are collected for development is true. But did you pause to compare the economies of Singapore, and USA to that of Ghana? In these countries, the governments have created jobs for the people. Many in Singapore and in USA are are salary workers or earners and can afford taxes. How about Ghana where very few are salary workers? Look at the number of unemployed in our country, and look again at our peasant farmers who live in our villages and see income once in a year. Would you be sound to tax these people as those in the USA are taxed? Over to you Mr. Minister FIIFI KWARTEY.

My exact sentiment. Mahama is directing here, directing there, yet noting is happening. Perhaps, its time Mahama stopped directing and started acting, which action should include firing ministers who are sitting on their asses waiting to be directed by the President.

Do Ghana really need another public univ. Our priorities are misplaced. Oh Ghana, create jobs for existing graduates and stop mismanaging state resources. Ghanaians arise and speak-out.

What does Ghana benefit from volta? Ashanti can have their own university without the help of the government, parasites !!! Why didn't Nkrumah who brought you give you university if he thought it was fit and safe for his motherland? Don't compare yourself to Ashanti because it is a nation by itself endowed with resources and Ashanti is capable of managing herself.If Ashanti were to be you i don't think they would even dream of joining another country to look miserable.

Mr. BBC, aren't you ashamed of yourself for saying what you just said? Now give me an answer to the following: 1. Which one of the former president instituted the National Health Insurance Scheme? 2. Which one of the former president started the School Feeding Program? 3 Who among the former president brought about the Free Maternal Care System in Ghana?
4. Which one of the past presidents initiatives was it that brought about the Scholarship schemes for student abroad? 6. Which president in Ghana discovered the oil fields in Ghana? 7. Among the numerous presidents(both past and present), tell me who is it that constructed the N1 Highway? 8. The Bui dam is supposed to be attributed to only one of the past presidents of Ghana. Tell me which one of them fits to wear that white hat? 9. Who is it that was able to bring in money from the International Community whereby we don't have to pay back? 10. Ghana once reached a middle income economy, now tell me which one of the presidents made it happen? I have a lot to ask you but I don't think you can answer because there seem to be no brain in your head nor are your eyes able to see what is real, so let me tarry here for now and ask you one more question. Which one of the presidents of Ghana instituted the Create, Loot and Share program stemming from Woyome, Isofoton, Waterville, Gyeeda, Sada, Nkonfemism and the atopapresident and dumsor dumsor, plus aka dompe economy in Ghana?

Three Ashanti mice were being chased by an Ewe cat.

The Ashanti mice were cornered when one of the mice turned around and barked, "Ruff! Ruff! Ruff!" The surprised cat ran away scared.

Later when the Ashanti mouse told their mother what happened, she smiled and said, "You see, it pays to be bilingual that's why i have been barking like Akyem dog!"

KNUST WAS BUILT BY DR NKRUMAH WITHOUT ANY PREJUDICE AND UDS WAS STARTED BY RAWLINGS WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
THE VOLTA UNIVERSITY WAS BUILT BY A VERY GOOD MAN.
LETS SEE THAT THE UNIVERSITY SURVIVES.
ONE DAY THE UNIVERSITY WILL BE NAMED AS THE ATTA MILLS UNIVERSITY.
ONE DAY MANY AKANS WILL BE BILINGUAL AND WILL BE SPEAKING EWE.

HMMM IS POLITICS AND TRIBALISM AT WORK? I AM IN NO WAY UNDERESTIMATING THE IMPORTANCE OF THE VOLTA UNIVERSITY. IT IS A GOOD IDEA AND WE NEED IT BUT SHOULD WE ABROGATE THE SOFOLINE CONTRACT FOR NO APPARENT REASON?

While I appreciate the need for President Mahamah to get things done quickly, the constant publicized orders from him gives the impression of a government that is incompetent.

Are there no established processes and controls for providing funding for approved projects? Is he making this call because someone is not doing his/her job? If that is the case then fire them.

What about the minister responsible? Mahamah should hold his minister accountable, the minister holds his/her people accountable and the accountability travels down the chain.

As President, Mahamah needs to delegate power and hold accountable those to whom he has delegated power. While constantly giving public orders may give the impression to some that he is in charge and working, it really creates the impression of a government that is out of its depth and clueless. It harms rather than helps the government's image.

And the trouble is that even then,the 'directive' will have to be repeated several times before any movement can be observed! There appears to be real disconnect between the Presidency and plethora of MDAs. "3ye as3m o". I think our moribond bureaucracy needs a real shake-up. This ideas of simply moving people around is a sad case of musical chairs!

Has not made better use of the services of someone like Dr. Tony Aidoo,who has voluntered to be the 'bad cop' in this administration!
We now have enough intellectual brain-power in the Flagstaff House to match the 'straglers' who are opposed to the forward match of this nation.
Today,any Tom,Dick and Harry can get up and blackmail the govt with work stoppages and 'oy3kyer3',as though the fate of the rich country depends on these 'nation-wreckers'!
I mean how can a whopping 20%(1,052) of the workforce of a vital state health facility like Korle Bu be GHOST WORKERS drawing huge pay packets,while at the same time key personnel like juniour nurses render critical service to the hospital without being paid their monthly salaries for two years?
Where I come from, this situation is best described by the phrase, "Abro ne ayie".

that is how financial indiscipline starts. unless it has been budgeted for, where is the minister going to get he money from. and if it is in the budget, why the "order".
