you are right somehow, and that is the same reasons that i suggest we should vote both parties our of power 2016. npp and Ndc are the same party, the uses the same methods to pin each other for votes and at along last we the poor people are suffering and the are enjoying at the top there.
we know that NPP wanted to punish ghanaians for voting NDC with a bad economy and the have succeeded. i had a lot of insiders news after elections that npp was going to punish us for voting ndc with pinksheet, i did not believe it but Today i do believe it, the have succeeded in bringing our economy to a setback.

All these NPP,NDC,Mahama,Nana Addo,Alan,Kuffour,Rawlings and so on are all rubbish and waste of precious time.We must focus on the essentials and leave these dirty politics behind.What the ordinary Ghanaian wants is to feel the positive economic impact in his life,where there are jobs for the youth and old,there is energy safety,food safety and better accomomdation in the system.Unfortunately,our journalist,politicians,administrators and pastors have all abandoned the essential economic impact issues and just following the wind.It's very sad to see that Ghana is doing politically well but performing very badly when it comes to economics.I congratulate Bature for blowing the alarm.Thank you.

...says Bukom Banku.Mahama should take
those dark glasses off his face,stop the show-boating...jetsoning around like a moth and Sit Up.

EDUCATION,AND JOB CREATION SHOULD BE THE FOCUS:

We were doing OK,even before we found Oil...So where is the Oil money?

Use that Petro money for Specific Projects:

Mr. President:I would like to see the return of The Worker's Brigade,set up Large & Medium scale Farming for those who want to work.
I also want to see small-Vocational industries built:machine shops/automobile repairs shops/T.V and telephone repair shops/sewing manufacturing shops/plumbing shops/pipe fitting shops/...create small vocational industries with that Oil-Petro $$$.Infuse somthing into the economy.
If GYEEDA failed,find out why and start it again ,this time with Intergrity and Accountability.

Kwame Nkrumah produced the most highly educated workforce in Africa...
all in 9 years..Take those dark shades off your face and find out how he did it...It's all there on the books.(Never mind Nsawam crap),just study his Economic Policies and follow suit.
LEARN TO CREATE JOBS THROUGH RESEARCH
AND TRAINING....Develop Critical Thinking Skills For Decision Making...

These are bunch of educated illiterates who do not understand their own world. They are indeed .... and until we stop politicising issues of national interest we will ever live in such a mess. Why should we cart our natural resources abroad and import the finished products. There is something wrong with the blackman, I think.

If Alhaji Bature has problems with the way Prez Mahama is running the economy he should state it without misleading the public with his economic indicators. For the records, neither has the Statistical Services nor the BoG recorded 15% deficit in our financial books since independence.

Al Haj, you have some points but please quote the actual situation. The deficit has grown by 500% since NDC came to power.

What I see about the economy and the
whole system of ruling prove that the
Government has failed the Nation and we need a "Regime Change" sooner than later.

If we keep on scraping the barrel with the leaders we choose then what do you expect. Visionless, greedy and incompetent individuals are not going to lead Ghana to where it needs to be no matter who you support...so why is anyone surprised about Mahama. The political party is irrelevant the competence of the leader and his cabinet is.

Too many Ghanaians would rather be kings of chaos (in government) then subjects of peace (in opposition), that’s why in part Ghana constantly repeats the same nonsense every 4 years and almost 60 years from independence we are still politically and economically immature.

If President Mahama listens to us, he will save himself all the pressures he has come under. Since day one, we have cautioned the president not to make foreign investors his priority yet he stubbornly persisted. Now look at the rampant importation going on and it's correlational effect on the Cedi. Nkrumah consciously developed and led the Ghanaian population to exploit and harness national resources because doing that raises our VALUE as a people and that reflects in national wealth. He even had a blueprint. All these things are there yet you're following Fiifi Kwetey and Seth Terkper. Why won't you face crisis? You take Seth Terkper over Nkrumah? hm, I wish the president well though

this newspaper will wise up, pull its head out of its arse, wake up, and smell the coffee. Reality bites. Prez. Mills'(may his soul rip) govt was really no better, propaganda reigned supremee, it was an accident waiting to happen and now it has happened. What to do? Blaming this on Prez. Kuffour's government is a sure sign of mediocrity. Prez. Mahama,please stop hiring presidential staffers and media men, go begging to Ghana's international financiers, for money and the best human resources money can buy, and I do not mean non-Ghanaians only. Give them 3 months to advise you on your vision for Ghana and additional 9 months to lay the implementation foundation and the beginnings of the implementation. Most of your appointees are now considered as failed may be because you are unable to articulate and truly own the hollow sounding Better Ghana Agenda, or you just picked the wrong people. the perception of Ghana the good country must be turned into reality, or be seen as being turned into reality in your lifetime. At this stage, its as good as a hoax, for want of a better word. Prez. Mahama, i think you picked the wrong kind of appointees. Campaigning on a "youth platform", may be you should try more tried and tested youth in key areas of the economy, not mostly "cornback" returnees who were mostly employed in the menial jobs sector or "rah-rah" wet behind the ears, nugs types, who have never worked a day on a real competitive industrial job, and cannot tell propaganda from productivity & growth if it hit them in the face. Prez. Rawlings was lucky because the west wanted to make a good case from the basket case that is Africa, Prez. Kuffour rode on the goodwill and made something out of it, Prez Mills was too ill to truly govern and build on the moderately ok foundation left by Prez. Kuffour (it still beats my mind why he awarded himself though, may be small monetary cost but huge embarrassment). Prez Mahama, what is your excuse?
