When Kwaku Baako informed us about the atrocities of Kwesi Pratt during PNDC Regime, some of us did not believe until the truth was confirmed during the NRC. Kwesi Pratt is the most dangerous Journalist Ghana had ever have, he had the gut to recommend his fellow journalists to be executed by PNDC. Pratt even recommended Baako to be killed by the regime, thank God Baako was instead touchered violently and severely but his life was spared. This is what Kwesi Pratt can do. Now Pratt is a secret agent to NDC and US Embassy in Ghana. May God forgive Pratt and spare him the untold evils that will come upon him and his generations. The souls of those journalist killed through Pratt's recommendations to PNDC will never forgive Pratt. Now Pratt has the guts to take Diplomatic Passport and smuggled his weak-headed children to work at the Ministries under Mills NDC, may God forgive Pratt and his dependance and spare them of the evils ahead of them...

If Mahama is serious about the economy he should focus on retrieving all the monies that were fraudulently paid in the name of judgement debts, GYEEDA, Akomfem, Subah, etc. This move is only a vain attempt to salvage his already tattered integrity. Not every Ghanaian thinks like their foot soldiers.

We are saying govt should pay for what they use not turning off air conditions. We are tell the govt to put meters (not prepay) in all govt building so the govt can pay for what they use.
John Mahama is today he thinks about the cost of using electricity and water in govt buildings, where was him.
The govt should pay back all the money the owe for electric and water since taking office.
We dont want 10% of anybodies money, all we want is pay your bills.
No govt building should have a prepay meter, prepay meters are for people who cant pay their bills and we know the govt can pay.
All govt buildings should have meters and pay and pay the bill when it comes. No turn off air conditions and water.
Remember the flagstaff house is not for John Mahama or the govt, it our flagstaff house and we dont expert it to be boiling hot when we go in there.
What are John Mahama advicers doing by letting stupid words coming from his mouth. Say and think later govt not good for anything.

IT IS NOT JUST THE PRESIDENT WHO SHOULD BE UP AND DOING. MY BROTHER WAS TELLING ME ABOUT A BUS DRIVER WHO WAS GOING TOO FAST. WHEN SOME PASSENGERS COMPLAINED, THEY WERE SHOUTED DOWN. IN MOST CASES THAT WE HAVE ACCIDENTS IN THIS COUNTRY IT IS CAUSED BY RECKLESS DRIVING AND OVERSPEEDING. IS THE PRESIDENT THE DRIVER OF THESE BUSES? IF WE REFUSE TO BE RESPONSIBLE AND ALL BLAME THE PRESIDENT, IT WILL NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I WAS PERSONALLY THROWN OUT OF A BUS WITH THE HELP OF OTHER PASSENGERS WHEN I COMPLAINED ABOUT A DRIVER'S IMPROPER BEHAVIOUR. IN OTHER COUNTRIES WHEN YOU DRIVER A PASSENGER VESSEL, THE SPEED IS LIMITED MECHANICALLY. IN U.K. IT IS 65MPH. THE BUS CAN'T GO MORE THAN THAT. IN GHANA PEOPLE WILL SAY IT IS TOO SLOW. WE ARE OUR OWN WORSE ENEMIES.

Good one there at least I have seen a sensible person who can reason and think, first and foremost, what is education at all? In a country where I come from, they defined education as anyone who can read and write English language that is how they defined education in Ghana. A country where a lot of people look down upon those who can't speak and write English language do you think such country can develop no wonder Ghana is a country with good resources but the citizens are mentally weak unable to think and reason as well, they are still slaves to the so-called Europeans. They are still colonized mentally and physically but the reason is that they don't know that they are still under colonization. So in s nutshell that is how illiteracy is defined in Ghana. Then one may ask that how about the countries who are using their own language to study are they illiterates? a country like France, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Finland, Norway, China etc can we classify their education system as substandard because they are not using English language to teach in their institutions? Africans will always embraced everything from west and east without thinking deep and its side effect in the future and we hate our own things so tell me are we humans? We always lionize the oppressors and disowned ours and we called ourselves educational elites now listen to a proverb from Europeans to Africans “you can take a monkey from bush but you can't take bush from monkey" how are we going to interpret it? it's simple to Europeans, Africa is bush let's see how they describe Africa they use the word Sub-Saharan and the question is do we have sub-Europeans or sub-Asians or sub-Americans, etc look how they have cited Africa in a World map, Africa as a continent is always at the bottom of the World map, the question is why they didn't cite Europe, Asia, America and Australia at the bottom but only Africa think about it brothers and sisters, the proverb means an African a monkey can come to western or eastern country to study or do anything but because he/she is from Africa you can't take Africa mentality from him or her then the stereotype goes, they are less humans, they don't have food to eat, always fighting among themselves etc so why Africans shouldn't cling to their own and abandoned their stupid act but yet still Africans are upholding their language and their barbaric culture, 500 years we are still slaves so when are we going to emancipate ourselves as a people created by YHWH.
The time has come for Africans to come together as one people and put their difference away and unit as people it has been a long time in slavery and colonization. The time has come for Ghanaians to put away their difference and unit to develop their nation it has been a long time in slavery and colonization.
God of our fathers have mercy on us especially banana republic of Ghana. Ghana, Ghana a country with good resources I had wanted to gather my people under one canopy as hen gathered it chicks but my people have abandoned their wisdom through thinking and now following the way of westerners through their devilcracy which is called democracy so now my people cannot be able to manage their own affairs, my people do not appreciate things manufactured in their country, my people preach devilcracy and practice vices, my people preach patriotism but they are not patriotic, my people have lost their sense of judging and now we are in a doom state they can't differentiate good things from bad ones and now engulf with tribalism which has become a canker in the country through bogus so-called educational elites and stomachticians who called themselves as politicians to separate the people in other not to come together to fight against their evil planning. A voice calling from within shouting my people, my people come together to build your nation we were created in the same image not let this stomachticians separate you they are doing it for their own selfish gain so wise up, awake from your slumber, the day is far spent and the night is near so let's ignore all these tribalism stuffs and come together as one people because together we can build a better nation.
The only way Africans can develop is to use their own language to study and do everything and stop patronizing anything from east or west, a small country like Ghana we can’t develop it why? Because we have pseudo intellectuals who always claims that they are the best but in reality they are at the bottom of the pit, our education system is not good, our education system does not allow us to think inside and out outside the box so for Ghana to develop it needs critical thinkers and nature incliners who can put things together other than that it will take millions of years we will still be where we are. Anyone who wants to study Nature University can contact me wellsbrains2000@yahoo.com, whatspp 008613566124757 when you contact me tell me which my article that you are interested so we can discuss it deeply because I have presented numerous articles on this web

Govt building should have meters not prepay. What happens if the lights goes off in offices? What will happen to the computers and how will anybody be able to work when it hot.
Stupid idea turning air conditions off. Flagstaff house was build to use air condition and they should not be turn down or off. Where were the govt was the plan to build flagstaff house? didnt they know air conditions were the only thing that can make the place workable.
Pay your bills dont mean turning things off. Its a shame the govt can pay for its own used electricity instead turning them off. If everybody turn their electricity off, what will happen to the Electric company.
We are saying PAY YOUE BILLS not turn electricity off. Every govt dept SHOULD have a meter and pay according to what they use.
Stupid turning thing off or prepay meters.
Prepay meters are for people who dont want to pay their bill. Is the govt saying they has to be force to pay their bills. Shame.
John Mahama should know its not him who is paying the bills and working conditions should be good for people to work. How much is electricity bill as compare to Woyome stealing millions of ghana cedis.
The govt is getting things wrong thru panick from a few dick heads.

A very hot country as Ghana whereby generating of electricity from solar energy will be 100% possible and do away with all these ECG and VRA charging exorbitant prices. I hope my President Mahama will think about this solar energy for at least Government bungalows. If we don't have the experts in country, president must import some experts to generate the solar energy. God is not stupid to give us enough sunlight almost throughout the year but we are stupid to make use of it.

Well Steve, You could talk about how bad this government is ruling the country but I would like you to be more careful when talking about renewable energy resources. First, we have experts in Ghana but the government is not willing to implement proposed programs and strategies as everything is politicised. Second, we do not have sunshine throughout the year even in the north where kWh (peak) per unit of solar panel is higher than in the middle or southern part of Ghana. thirdly, generally, Ghana has a dense cloud cover throughout the year even though we have adequate sunshine, this results in diffused radiation.

I don't know the situation at the moment but if you are in Ghana, you could go out and look up and you will see thick grey or dark clouds all over even though they may not be rain-bearing clouds. That is what I mean. These clouds 'scatter' the solar radiation and 'few' directly reach the solar panels.
Therefore it is more expensive to produce a unit of solar energy (kWh) from the sun in Ghana. One would need bigger solar panel to produce the same energy when compared to North African countries.
Globally, solar panels are quite expensive even though currently China is competing with companies in Europe. The prices could drop as there is competition at the moment.
I agree that we need solar energy but it will be too expensive for the Government bungalows to solely rely on solar. It could supplement. I think we should focus on providing solar to communities where the demand for energy is relatively low. It will change their lives. The government is not thinking. For example, as a gift, we installed some solar panels for a community health center in Ghana and they use the energy to power a solar refrigerator to store their drugs. Another one in a nearby school to enable people in the community to recharge their phones. It created a job, reduce transportation cost as people previously had to travel for an hour to another community to recharge at a higher cost where the system relied on diesel powered generator.
If this platform could allow for uploading of pictures, I could show how the lives of the people have changed just because of four pieces of solar panels. The revenue from the recharging of phones paid back after three years.

Tell the government to think and stop talking.

Stop the blasphemy. How can you compare Mahama to King Solomon? hy should anybody praise Mahama for this elementary solution after he himself has caused this economic hardship? He used our resources for vote buying during the election and came back to charge Ghanaians for it so please stop these nonsensical praises. This is what makes our leaders more corrupt because we fall for such stupid gimmicks. If Mahama is serious about the economy he should focus on retrieving all the monies that were fraudulently paid in the name of judgement debts and the monies stolen at GYEEDA, Akomfem, Subah, etc.

I think it will be hard for Mahama to tell anybody to cut their use of electricity if he does not cut his own use. However, there are lots of other things that a president can do to help a country's situation. Crack dwon on corruption, reform the tax tax system to be more efficient, improve the court systems so that people don't feel they have to pay bribe to the police to avoid frustration by going to court, etc. Essentially, the president needs to find ways to cut costs all over and increase revenues.

A civism that every citizen would play to budget an income.

Shutting down air condition at the Flagstaff house is not significant at all. How is this going to affect my mother in the village? But the high cost of fuel, increasing school fees, lack of drugs in our hospitals, road accidents, lack of accommodation for workers, employment for the youth, portable drinking water, political discrimination going on in Ghana, bribery and corruption, tribalism at its highest point, arm robbery on our roads etc are the things that affects every human being whether you like or not. I hear the prices of fuel are going to go up once again by Sunday, meaning there is going to be high cost of commodities again, this will eventually affect everybody and not shutting down air condition which does not affect everybody and this is not going to reduce the electricity tariffs so what is the point? This is sycophancy, Mr. President.

Are we all that broke and cheap to shut down the central air-condition in Flagstaff House? This is not done anywhere in the world, unless may be poor cheap eastern Europe. Please let's have some dignity in the seat of govenment and for that matter Ghana. We need an automatic air-con system which shuts off by itself and brings back thereby conserving energy. Furthermore, we don't want workers in that building developing sinuses from fanning which picks up dust and has poor ventilation.

populist action but this is reckless. How do you expect people to work in all that heat? Moreover this central may be needed to cool some critical instruments such as computers and servers and you are shutting it down. This will cause gadgets to malfunction, mold to fester and sickness to increase. Oh Ghanaians and short-termism. Mr Mahama, reduce the number of ministers and deputies. Close some of the 50+ institutions at the castle. Ask Parliament to amend the consitution to keep a cap on the number of MPs. Let every minister pay for his/her rent, driver and fuel. Let Roland Agambire, Jospong and Woyome pay their debt to the state. Then we will be making a dent in the debt. What you're doing is crisis management and not long-term planning.
