When you have privileges for government officials that make them immune to the suffering of the masses, they WILL reduce serious policy sessions to a jokers conference. They have free cars, free petrol, free houses, free electricity, free water, and free furniture. What else do you expect from these COMFORTABLE GREEDY BASTARDS ?

People are hungry, sitting in dark rooms without electricity and without water to take a bath; and just waiting to hear something inspirational from their leader, to indicate that there is light at the end of the tunnel; and the leader is cracking jokes ? Obama can do it because we know how HARD he is working, to make things better for the American people, from the mess he inherited from that Bush. But Mahama, after telling people to wait and wait and wait, he is cracking jokes ? That's beyond pathetic for a leader !

The President is a former MP with friends across the aisle. What he succeeded in doing with the support of his able advisors was to wittingly appeal to the common parliamentary spirit of camaraderie while being Presidential. He may have appeared to have over-played that chord sometimes. But it worked. They listened and even forgot planned heckling!!!!

No body is surpised at the delivery and performance of Mahama in parliament.
It will not change but will continue to affect the performance of the the ministers. For me am happy petrol and other services are up by the day. That is the real better Ghana agenda for the poor NDC guys to face the music. The good news is that they are lazy. I offered some work to some NDC guys in my area and the simply refused to do it. They will suffer the more. Am from Volta North and we all know how lazy those boys are. Typical NDC for you who has a leader cast in the mold of the Ajaz Bokana of blessed memory

It is a shame you have to fire people on political differences and not on ability or the lack thereof. But then again it is your business so you can do what pleases you.

It is a damned shame though.

Mr. University lecturer, please go learn the art of delivering speeches.
Long speeches are to be interjected with humor to keep the attention of the listeners.

DO WE HAVE TO CRITICISE EVERYTHING??

He mahama is a human being, and one would not expect him to remain like a statue to the heckles of the minority in parliament, he has to creat something to make them know they are bigger than whet they are doing;if so called lecturer has something to say, he should direct it to the minority who began the heckle knowing there is serious problem facing ghana, every other government faced this difficulty before settling, kuffuor, prof, Atta mills, so why the heckle, can someone give us a break, npp are retreating the nation back instead of forging together with the government to move the nation, they engage in unnecessary critisms, mean while they are to serve as watch dog , at the end we the citizens suffer the concequensies;

Listen to this thrash from the presidency! This whyte man must himself be joking.
Instead of accepting that the president has no time to follow what happens in the house, the aide is trying to justify why the president used expressions that had been banned by the speaker only a few weeks back. When the president finally admit that he gaffed it, which he will definitely do one day, I hope Dr Whyte will be shown the door. He is a disgrace not only to the presidency but to the entire nation. He cannot continue to live on the benevolence of a country he has no regard for.
Let us all learn to accept our slip ups and find ways and means to avoid repeating same, rather than try to justify them!

The NPP supporters including the Parliamentarians were mesmerized by the delivery. They got no opportunity to ruffle the president. The MPs evil plans were preempted and thwarted. Hail the President.

The unity of our dear country must not be compromised for any political gain. We must respect every tribe in the country and avoid playing on the minds of those who have not been lucky to have any formal education for our selfish earns. Any politician who is sensible and love GHANA must stop pointing at where TRIBAL POLITICS might have come from, because that will not take us anywhere. Another person will come and point at another direction. The fact is that, today we all know it is not a good thing to do and must be discouraged, rather than use it to our selfish advantage. The unity of our dear nation is more important than the survival of any political grouping. Ghana has been there long before any of these parties (which have a lot of selfish and insincere individuals) were formed. Ghana will be there when they are long gone. Let us sincerely pledge our loyalty to GHANA rather than a political party. How sincere are most of the members of these parties when it comes to stewardship with things of the nation? RESPECT AND EMBRACE EVERY TRIBE. In that lies the STRENGTH of OUR NATION. With that we will DEVELOP, HAVE PEACE and be WEALTHY. LONG LIVE GHANA.

Keep your promises. You know how politicians are viewed as promise-breakers? Good. You also know how people hate politicians? Well, there you have it. Break your promises and you lose respect. Point blank. You can fit the suit, you can have all the charisma, and you can have the knowledge, but if you don't deliver on what you promised to deliver, the people will have you silver platter. •An integral part of keeping promises is knowing what's doable and what's not. If you can define between the two, the only other obstacle is being honest. Practice this with your kids, practice this with your teammates, and practice this at every opportunity. Developing a strong moral code removes room for those questioning your ability to lead and hold power.

This doctor is funny indeed. A speech spiced with jokes is the best any good communicator can apply to capture the attention of his audience. The twea word came from an npp mp and hence the response from the president. you cannot describe this aa a stand up comedy. Go do your research and check out the meaning of stand up comedy. Anytime you make a comment, I see the pain in your heart because your akufo addo and his npp never won the election. It is better for you to put that behind you and wait for the neext elections

Dr Amoah, the Chinese trained political scientist or whatever, is trying to get some spot light these days so he says anything that will get him in the news. How can he make such accusations without pointing out any substantive part of the president's address so described. It's typical of this self-styled policy analyst jump at a topic that has been raised by somebody and adds his ludicrous "insights" so it can be reported. We have a problem with these chinese trained PhDs running around the radio stations.

Let's be serious for once I'm surprised this so called Dr Kpesa doesn't realise that the president wasn't talking to just MP's but the whole nation and our international guest as well. I don't know whether he understands the importance of state of the Nation address,yes we are all aware of the duration of the speech but this is serious address concerning serious issues affecting the whole nation and and as presidential advisor you think it's ok to mix it with jokes when our economy is in dire straits. Dr Kpesa you must be ashamed of yourself, no wonder this government is failing badly.
