When Imani told these idiots in gov't that given their corruption and sloppiness the Chinese are not going to give them the $3bn loan, flabby big mouths like Okudzeto Ablakwa, Fiifi Kwetey, Felix Kwakye Ofosu and Akokufunu Anyidoho rained insults on them. 5 years on and not a penny has come down.

These NDC idiots came into gov't under the illusion that money was no longer problem since we have found oil, so they thrtew prudence and caution away, and even sought to contract out a $10bn housing project with Korean STX, mortgaging our oil along with it. They even stopped investing in agriculture which is the main pillar of Ghana's economy.

Now 5 years later they are waking up to their folly. Question is given their track record of delaying payments to contractors whilst inflation also erodes their profit margin and drives up cost, which local business in its right mind do business with this useless government? They do so at their own peril.

These projects weren't abounded due to lack of funds but to make Kuffour unpopular since the time of
fifi Mills. this was the plan of Tony Aidoo the wee smoking adviser to ndc presidents.

TOO LATE TO BUY TIME OR PATIENCE with a reshuffle as the cat is already out of the bag and everybody knows ndc has no plan or agenda to develop the country . in the zeal of hatred fueled by ewe hegemony and northern tribalism have only succeeded in cementing the road to failure and chaos . without the unity of the majority Akan it will be impossible to tap into the progressive potential and power of the nation . a house divided can never stand and the evil force , motive and destruction is within this ndc , they can never unite the country's peoples , can never be trusted by the diaspora , can never have the legitimacy to take bold courageous decisions to develop and at the same time ensure the wealth of the nation stays with the people of the nation . jj comes out accusing only Akans but i have never heard him accuse his own ewes of the atrocities m corruption and crimes they have so evidently committed such as woyome , murder of innocents and public floggings . he wages a propaganda and economic war with the help of his ndc against the Akans in order to establish his legacy of doom . yes they say we are motivated tribalism but dont see we have no choice but to defend ourselves . we only need to be a little observant to notice these truths and a little common sense to know nothing good can ever come out of this conspiracy of evil against the Akans . our chiefs like asantehene and some religious leaders for 30 pieces of silver again advocate that we assist this menace to further destroy our future just as was done during the slave trade . it is time for the quiet majority to stand firm and reject this criminal mafia that has so metastasized into all corners of govt that only war can set us free . long live the republic of Akan

Wake up bro. Ghana has suffered a lot in the hands of the so called male dominance government. With time we the women of this country will take over from these greedy males, whose interest is just to enrich themselves. I think women could do a better job than what we see today.

I suggest you raise 6 to 8yrs bonds to help finance these projects. Good idea Mr. VP God bless you. When these projects kick off for the next five years tradesmen and professionals will have jobs doing.

These two Regions (Western and Central) are always left out, despite their rich resources; even their own people, when in power, don't help them.

....."The project, consisting of over 4,700 housing units across the nation, was initiated under the Kufuor administration, but work stalled due to lack of funds".

I HAVE NEVER HEARD SUCH NONSENSE. ARE YOU SAYING THAT IF KUFFUOR, OR HIS PARTY, HAD BEEN IN GOVERNMENT THESE HOUSES WOULD HAVE REMAINED UNCOMPLETED ......DUE TO LACK OF FUNDS???

THEY WOULD HAVE COMPLETED THEM AND BECAUSE THEY WERE KUFFUOR GOVERNMENT PROJECTS, THE NDC STOPPED THEM. THEY WANTED TO START THEEIR OWN AND AWARD THE CONTRACTS TO THEIR CRONIES AND ENGAGE IN CREATE LOOT AND SHARE WITH OVER-PRICED TENDERS.

IT'S ALL GHANA POLITICS.

Ghanaians

You see thE hardworking Sheik Maktoum in Ghanaweb of yesterday sitting next to lazy create loot and share Mahama, this Sheik, along with his other UAE leaders, have transformed the UAE desert wasteland into an infrastructural masterpiece that is today, the envy of Westeners and others across the globe.

No wonder He received Mahama on a wooden bench without even cushions.

What a snubb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This speaks volumes about how African leaders are perceived by other LEADERS as some hopelessly useless bunch of CORRUPT African "leaders" who have no clue what it takes to lead/govern a Country.

Sheik Maktoum did not develop Dubai by taxing his people to the death, and also increasing energy tariffs in the UAE.

DUBAI was built up with Dubai's natural resource revenues - OIL EXPORTS, NOT WICKED TAX AND TARIFF POLICIES COPIED BLINDLY FROM THE WEST.

GHANA/AFRICAN LEADERS ARE TOTALLY USELESSLY HOPELESS AND CLUELESS.

WHEN MAHAMA AND FAMILY RETURN TO GHANA, THEY SHOULD TOUR THE ACCRA "MALL" AND COMPARE THAT TO DUBAI MALL AND OTHER BREATHTAKING MALLS IN THAT COUNTRY.

ACCRA "MALL" WILL LOOK LIKE A CORNER SHOP IN DUBAI.

MAHAMA SHOULD ALSO RIDE ON DUBAI'S FULLY AIRCONDITIONED STATE-OF-THE-ART METRO RAILWAY SYSTEM WITH 21ST CENTURY TRAIN STOPS, COMPARE THOSE TO THE DYSFUNCTIONAL DIRTY 18TH CENTURY ACCRA-NSAWAM RAILWAY SYSTEM "BUSHMAN" KUFUOR WAS ALWAYS BRAGGING ABOUT.

COMPARE & CONTRAST THE UAE & GHANA, AND YOU'LL REALIZE WE GHANA HAVE A LONG, LONG WAY TO GO, THANKS TO OUR SUCCESSIVE DYSFUCTIONAL RUTHLESSLY CORRUPT LEADERSHIP IN GHANA.

THIS SHEIK HAS EARNED GLOBAL RESPECT, AND OF COURSE MY RESPECT.

MAY ALLAH BLESS SHEIK MAKTOUM.

It is very insulting to Ghanaian intelligence for the Veep to tell Ghanaians that that due to lack of funds stalled housing projects.Just this year alone Mahama has borrowed GHC51.4billion (US$26billion)Doctors,Nurses,Teachers and contractors has not been paid for the last 18 months.Three different bonds has been initiated two billion in euros and dollars and GHc850million and still no funds.So where are all these money go?. Late Mills and Mahama bollowed US$10billion for security housing project and affordable houses term STX housing project not a single block on the site where both Mills and Mahama cut the sod to commence and we have not heard the where about of the US$10billion whether mills or Mahama has made away with the money know one knows.This is a government that sees nkonfem very important than the people of Ghanaians.Why woun't they take us for fools.I can't get my head straight and can never be as to why non performing SSNIT government is asking them to fund the final project while government has bollowed GHC51.4billion according the finance minister(US$26billion).

NDC has been in power for quite some time now and should have already been working on these projects. Knowing the housing deficit in the country, the government could have created work for a lot of people if it had funded all of them when it came to power instead of abandoning them.
With the amount of funds wasted through corruption, these projects could have been completed by now.
Good to know that now the government wants to finish them up.
