NPP amuses me. Where were these people when the EO group were cutting their deal on the Ghana's oil? These NPP folks can only pounce on any NDC project and kept mute when NPP was doing the dirty job in 200-2008. I blame NDC. They should go back to the NPP era and bring all the dirt out. In any case NPP is doing well. A time will come one day when they will be in power and be fed with their own spoon. Foolish people who hate progress.

It is true. Pastor Otabil said Ghanaians are jokers. Look at what is happening here, this is an issue which touches the economy and development of Ghana and instead of bringing up your opinions and suggestion, we have turned it into NDC/NPP jokes. This is an important issue: MUST WE AGREE TO THE EXTENTION OF THE HOSPITAL AT THIS AMOUNT OR NOT? Here is what everybody has to come in with his/her opinion and suggestion. Mine is that inasmuch that we need more and good hospitals, the cost of the expansion is too much for Ghana,a country whose economy is in tatters,and should be reviewed. I hope BROWN envelopes did not go round parliament before it was approved.

1. “Parliament in February APPROVED THE AGREEMENT, clearing the way for the design, construction,
procurement and installation of equipment for the rehabilitation of the hospital to go ahead.”
2. “However, the Minority Leader, Mr Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu on Thursday suggested on the Floor of Parliament that THE DEAL WAS APPROVED ON THE BLIND SIDE OF THE MINORITY.”
3. “He said he had been away with the Majority Leader, Mr Benjamin Kunbour, in South Africa when the deal was approved.”
Why do I see contradiction in this? I don’t know that an international agreement of such colossal dimension could actually be reached without the Majority leader and the minority leader being present. We are in March and Osei-Kyei is not the only NPP member in Parliament. I understand where he is coming from but it does mean they are doing their job?

Yes, he said Mr Benjamin Kunbour and himself were out of the country. But, that does not cut it with me since in this modern day and age of Text messages, Whatsapp, twitter, Facebook and what have you, one is never an island. In fact, he knew the deal was to grace the floor of the August house for debate and scrutinisation as usual anytime soon and could have influenced his minority kingpins with this revelation of his to vote nay by using any of the above mentioned platforms to justify what he is now selling here.
Haba, call it mischievous and these Kukurudu folks are full with it all over the place. Yes, of course, the amount earmarked for the Ridge hospital project if accurate as specified here is simply too much, but so bogus is his complain too about knowing nothing of it before the bill was approved.

Before we turn this into partisan politics,wouldn`t it be very simply for the Speaker to ask for the agreement to be brought back to Parliament?
In any civilised Country,any objection on any project,no matter where the objection is coming from,atleast the Parliamenty Committe will look into it again to clear any suspition that a deal going on between some individuals.But not in Ghana,bet NDC will come out and insult the Minority leader and turn the whole thing,saying NPP did worse when they were in power?And that will be the end of the matter and once again Ghana will be the loser.
The most saddest part of it all is,some people will come here on the net,supporting this daytime robbery,just because of partisan politics or tribal politics.

What has gone wrong with some Ghanaians? People should not forget that when you arm a robber with a cutlas to kill, he will definitely bring back the blood stain cutlas. We shall one day rip the repercussions of our inability to think as a nation in stopping thieves from looting and sharing the nation's resources. Men and women armed with trust to manage our resources have buried that trust in shame and taken guns, hiding behind the legislature to rob all Ghanaians of their present and future development. There are many, many Ghanaians who have never ever tasted clean or pure water in their lives and yet the trustees of our resources don't care.It's so disheartening to think....our trustees are our own enemies. At the end of the day, the blood stain c utlas will be presented to them and I wonder IF they will be bold enough to receive it.

Each member of Ghana's parliament if competent prior to winning their respective elections and taking seat in Ghana's parliament do have the rights to challenge, question and offer amendments to tabled legislation. To say that he, the mighty mouse Mensah Bonsu was away from parliament along with the majority leader therefore his own party's members of parliament were too stupid and incompetent to have received council before they made their decisions is to insult and expose the fallacy within the NPP as a party of Ghana's intellectual elite class.

I have on numerous occasions written on this forum about the high cost of projects in this country. We are allowing divisive politics to prevent us from playing our watch dog roles to the government. Let us all act in the now and not wait for our party or government to come to power. Other examples are the numerous expensive water projects. Where are our estimators quantity surveyor trained at the KNUST POLY etc. In project management there is the order of magnitude estimates which are available on the net. Parliamentarians must also be trained to appreciate basic cost estimates and the value the country will derive. A simple basis will be the cost of a 3 bedroom house. If you do not get the value right in Ghana check and convert South African prices and convert to dollars. They are about same. We share same economic model. I congratulate the minority leader this time round and I hope the president will listen.

WHAT IS HAPPENING IN GHANA. EVERY THING IN THE COUNTRY IS NOT RIGHT. LIGHTS HAS BEEN GOING ON AND OFF ALL THE TIME, NO WATER SUPPLY FOR THE WHOLE OF ACCRA AND ITS SURROUNDING TOWNS. WHAT IS GOING ON .DO GHANAIANS NEED TO FOLLOW WHAT HAPPENED AT EGYPT AND TUNISA AND OTHERS BEFORE WE CAN LIVE BETTER LIVES. IF THAT IS WHAT WE NEED TO DO , THEN WE ARE SENDING THE WORD AROUND TO ALL GHANAIANS THROUGH THE SOCIAL MEDIA AND WE START OFF. HOW CAN 306 MILLION USD BE SPENT IN JUST REPAIR WORK ON RIDGE HOSPITAL WHEN THAT AMOUNT CAN BE USED TO BUILD A NEW HOSPITAL EVEN BIGGER THAT KORLE- BU TEACHING HOSPITAL
I TELL ME FELLOW GHANAIANS BOTH AT HOME AND ABROAD TO WAKE UP AND FIGHT FOR THEIR RIGHTS BEFORE GHANA IS SOLD OUT.WE SHOULD STOP THAT BEHAVIOUR OF THE PAST WHEN WE CARE LESS OF WHAT OUR LEADERS ARE DOING.
WE AS GHANAIANS HAVE A RIGHT TO HOLD ALL THOSE WE HAVE ELECTED TO WORK ON OUR BEHAVE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY WRONG THEY COMMIT.
WE HAVE BEEN QUITE FOR SO LONG AND NEEDS TO WAKE UP AND FIGHT FOR WHAT IS RIGHT,
WHAT DO WE GHANIANS GAIN FROM THE NUMEROUS RESOURCES OF THE COUNTRY SINCE AFTER OUR FIRST PRESIDENT DR. KWAME NKRUMAH.
I TELL GHNAIANS TO STOP SLEEPING AND WAKE UP AND FIGHT , AND FIGHT FOR OUR RIGHTS AS TUNISIANS AND EGYPTIANS DID. SOME MUST DIE FOR OTHER TO HAVE A BETTER LIFE]
WE HAVE BEEN CHEATED FOR A LONG TIME
AND NEED TO CHANGE
THANKS
THIS TO ALL GHANAIANS ALIKE

Osei Kyei is aware that he is crying wolf, that is the Ashanti psyche of selfishness and greediness. He is worried not because he really thinks of Ghana losing that amount is talking about, but it is because today it is not NPP that is going to make that money if the calculation is right.
When the NPP were going to spend money on the presidential palace and people/the public protested that there were projects of priority, whom did they listen to? Even about the VODA FONE, whom they listen to? They went ahead and made the money they targeted for. This is why I said Osei is crying wolf.
Why worry when you know you and your NPP did the same thing and robbed Ghana? Are you crying because today you would not be part of what the NDC will get from the project to take place?
You are a very big foolish man who thinks he is too smart to convince the public to support his foolish mind. You, politicians are thieves, we are also aware that you spent so much money during the campaign before you get to parliament. So-----
Your behavior is a typical Ashanti character of village mentality, full of selfishness and greediness- a disgraceful behavior, just like the way Kufour disgraced himself with his selfish mind.
After his tenure of office Kufour manipulated the system so that[ 2] two houses could be built for him. A greedy and selfish style of Ashanti man. Somebody may ask, can not he built his own house with all the money he earned when in office.
Osei will have to know and understand that if you want others to do the right thing then you ought to be the first person/NPP to set good example. You chop a lot from the BUI dam, smart contract given to Kennedy Agyapong and others from the NPP to rob the nation.
KEEP QUIET Osei Kyei, and next time do the right thing and the Heavens will help you to teach others. Stop crying wolf, as many people still think of the Drill ship saga. Shame unto you and your gang who believe Ghana is your property. We are watching you all.

?EU fear of GM food from US hampers historic trade deal
March 13, 2014 00:10
Reuters / David Mdzinarishvili
An ‘enormous gulf’ has been exposed between the EU and the US through Europe’s reluctance to buy hormone meat or GM food from the US. Industry and labor groups voiced concern to EU and US negotiators that the globe’s biggest trade pact was under threat.
“There is an enormous gulf between the EU and US positions,” said Michael Dolan, a lobbyist for the US Teamsters Union at the fourth round of trade talks between the EU and US in Brussels on Wednesday.
The talks marked an unusual occasion, being the first time that lobbyists were received, and additionally marking the first time that the forum allowed reporters inside.
Those involved in negotiating a pact have expressed a desire to finalize a deal before the end of the year. Eight months of talks have already passed. However, tensions which have underscored trade talks worldwide have been a drawback, and continued low public support for the deal has exacerbated tensions over food.
Despite this, its supporters say the deal would lead to some $100 billion per year in growth on both sides, and the EU says that ‘Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership’ (TTIP) is under threat from protesters it deems ‘anti-globalization’.
In 2012, the EU exported $16.6 billion in farm produce to the US, while US farmers delivered $9.9 billion to Europe. The gap was largely blamed on the EU ban on GM food imports.
“Our trade could be way bigger,” Douglas Nelson, a CropLife America adviser told Reuters. “The TTIP is a way to normalize trade with the European Union.”
However, EU Trade Commissioner Karel De Gucht frequently reasserts that there will be no changes to the EU regulation of GM food even if an agreement is reached with the US.
The EU is also closed to US beef from cattle raised with growth hormones.
On March 10, the UK’s Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) secretary, Owen Paterson, added his backing to an EU proposal that may prompt the fast-tracking of GM crops for commercial cultivation in the country.
Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth, GM Freeze, the Soil Association and GeneWatch UK added their signatures to a letter to UK Prime Minister David Cameron condemning the plans.
GeneWatch UK director, Helen Wallace, stated that Monsanto and other GM companies were “desperate to push their GM crops into other countries before the devastating impacts on wildlife and farming destroy existing markets,” according to local publication Farmers Weekly.

Oh NPP why always against any project
Eii are you correct ? A 1500 bed hospital is been built in Dubai for $12million.In Ghana a refurbishment of a 200 bed hospital to 400 bed is been assessed at $320million. And the problem you see is the NPP? Lool daabi da
That kind of money can even build a brand new hospital with all those departments and modern equipment in USA. Another create loot and share boondoggle.
