Kwesi Pratt I bet you told us that because of Kennedy Agyepong's empty assertions that NPP were practicing corruption against themselves will cause them 2016 elections, but it is so strange you did not say that if NDC
did not get rid of their corruption
activities, which has caused every
single Ghanaian such a hard ship, it
will cause them 2016?

Kwesi, accept corruption in our country is being severely administered
by NDC crooks, which is totally clear
to every individual citizenry and
I can sound it solemnly in your ears
even if NPP are corrupt at all no one
have seen it, therefore Kennedy Agyepong's assertion is not admissible
and will have no effect on NPP 2016 but what the people of this country have see and are continuing to witness is a clear manifestation that NDC are corrupt, loot and share, judgement Debt illicit practices, thievery, deceit, dishonest and the highest level of incompetency and economical chaos, NDC would not be forgiven and will cause them heavily during the 2016 elections.

The situation here goes to echo the President's call that Ghanaians soon forget things. Mahama Ayiriga was a beneficary of 5 tractors under the Late Atta-Mills regime so what do you expect him to have under this Mahama's regime? A country that celebrates mediocre and corruption is Ghana under the leadership of President Mahama

Why on earth should the government buy laptops for media houses. Can't they get their own working tools? Is it government business to give out laptops to any business entity. Mahama is addicted to bribery

I can't understand why underdeveloped country like Ghana always like to pick and choose things that they cannot afford.
Individuals and companies are not interested to be equipped with desktops rather they like expensive laptops while in a developed country like the USA almost every company is equip with desktops. Why should the ministry purchase laptops instead of desktops? Are they not suppose to go into the office to work there and leave the computer behind when they go home at the end of the day?

Brother Apetupre, the government don't have to provide equipment for private media. They do it to silence them from their despicable governance.

It is not Government's duty to train you journalists. What have you Pratt done to help those of you who can't write good English and spell correctly? How about those making up their own stories?

If you know the power of laptop if only you know how to use it well with supporting applications you will indeed be extremely thankful.

WHO ARE RGE SIDDIS OF INDIA ?

GOOGLE THIS AND COMPARE IDI AMIN TO INDIAN CRIMES AGAINST BLACKS TODAY!

The original people of India are the Negrito tribes-people who are found in the hills and interiors of India. They are, in effect, the Aborigines of the Indian subcontinent.

All others, including the Dravidians, Aryans, Huns, Greeks, Moghals, Arabs, British, Portuguese, French and the Siddis (Sidis) immigrated to the Indian subcontinent.

The Siddis are not part of the original Negritos of India. They are descendants of Africans from North-East and East Africa who were brought to India as slaves, soldiers or servants. These Siddis were mostly transported by boats.

Long before the first slave ships started supplying labour to the cotton plantations of the American-south, and many centuries before the first Africans were brought ashore to the sugar estates of Brazil and the Caribbean, Africans were being sold as slaves, by the Muslim Arab traders from the Eastern seaboard of Africa to Hindu Indian princes on the West Coast and Central India. A significant portion of this African Siddi slave trade took place centuries before the Portuguese, British, French and Dutch colonised parts of Africa and the Indian subcontinent.

Some of the Siddis (Sheedis) migrated via land; in the opposite direction of the Spice trail and settled in Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Gujarat.

It then appears that there were five sets of Siddi transfers or migrations from East Africa to India.

1. As slaves sold by Muslim Arab tradesmen to Hindu South Indian princes

2. As slave/soldiers sold by Muslim Arab tradesmen to Hindu Central, Western and Eastern Indian princes (habshis)

3. As slaves sold by Muslim Arab tradesmen to Catholic Portuguese sea farers who then transported them to Goa (siddis) and other Portuguese possessions on the west Coast of India, and to Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) (kaffirs)

4. Those who migrated and settled in areas along the NW Frontier of the Indian subcontinent (now Pakistan) (sheedes)

5. Those who settled further south of the NW frontier in the Indian State of Gujarat (siddis)

"The Siddis are descendants of African slaves, sailors and servants, and merchants who remained in India after arriving through the sea trade with East Africa and the Gulf," says Amy Catlin, an ethno-musicologist from the University of California, who is making a special study of Siddi culture. "That was a process which began in the 12th century or before, and lasted until the late 19th century".

Oh Akwasi why condemning now? I thought you claimed you knew about it or because it being condemned by all? This cannot save your face because as for me i am aware of your hypocrite and lies yet you call yourself a senior journalist. Do u remember what you said during the amina yutong arm robbery saga? Also about the fact that military is not an option in ivory coast? I agree with the guy who once recommended to be careful with you else Ghana will collapse bcos of u. Shameless 'senior' journalist.
