Pratt just be plain and tell us the truth NDC leaders are fools no ifs and but. Mahama and his bunch of Ali Baba thieves have no clue how to govern a country like Ghana Folks don't get me wrong they are experts in dipping their dirty hands in the cookie jar and also removing ladies panties.
They can do all the explanation they want I personally won't believe what they say. For Christ sake who tells the truth in that demonic NDC party none. There are some honest ones who joined them but now they are matured masters in telling lies.
Ghanaians why should we sit for these arrogant fools to throw anything at us.

as a graduate of the university of bullshit i easily recognize the stupidity and shit . blame the innocent as they can never defend themselves is his motto . fifi kwasea kwetey needs to know bad management and incompetent corrupt ndc govts are the cause nothing else . our workers are underpaid as it is already and with the wages as they are today is borderline slavery so if they don't know or have the solution they should all immediately resign. How many viable projects being promoted by Akans did he sabotage as deputy finance minister , we already know of at least 200 factories that would have employed an average of 2000 people at an average wage of 3000 cedis because they were all export orientated . fifi has a heart of stone and is a natural born liar but we will make sure he ends up in jail for undermining the development of the state and advocating for further poverty of our Akan.tribal idiots like him in the highest office of the land are a sure sign Ghana can never prosper

Ghanaians are crying,crying over food,health,poverty, unemployment and more. A blessed country like Ghana and yet cann't find the right leaders to lead this country. Religeosly,we have sold our hearts to the devil and doing all kinds of things.
We have some educated fools and booklongs with no common sense to leading the country. Young people who have the energy to develope rhe country are not employed, no jobs
but armed robbing the citizens. Beautiful young ladies and girls in the streets selling themselves. religeous leaders robbind their members and politicians, public officers and servants taking bribes from everywhere.The young people should demand for their country and go on revolution and kill all the leaders both present and the past.

Why should anyone be surprised? The government did a dismal job of announcing the increment in VAT in January. The propaganda wizards threw out the increase in VAT a few months before implementation. However, they didn't communicate implementation. An announcement on the 30th or 31st that didn't hit the papers....and then the VAT service didn't have the right VAT books, etc in stock for well over a month. What a joke !

If you're serving people by leading, you've got be their leading light in every situation but sometimes we abandon the population to grope in darkness by such sheer lackadaisical, laid back attitude to work. The one who is suppose to make sure they do their, the Chief of Staff too is another. If the job is bigger than him, why is he still forcing himself to be there? Making sure ministers do what they're suppose to do too is difficult?

The president has not got the required knowledge to be president. It is not everybody who can be president and he is one of them. He should have been rearing cattle in the north with his thief brother.

Ministers are paid to minister their ministries, and to be at the forefront of policies and their enforcement; yet it is always the inexperienced out of college with no cvs to shout home about, deputy ministers who appear to run the show and their inexperience and lack of professionalism shows with the number of mistakes and blunders in not communicating clearly what the government is planning to implement.

IT IS ALWAYS DEPUTY MINISTERS YOU HEAR SPEAKING FOR THE GOVERNMENT. MY QUESTION IS WHERE THE HELL ARE THE SUBSTANTIVE MINISTERS AND WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY DOING?? WITH ALL THAT WE PAY THEM PLUS THEIR CRAZY FRINGE BENEFITS AND PER DIEMS?

I thought our leader's lack of COMMON SENSE has always been a fact and we all know it. This is not surprising. You can always see their stupid black faces when they comment on serious national issues. They just don't have a clue about what's going on around them. They only listen when when its cheating and ripping off the nation. Common sense??? they sure lack, right from the top to wherever and whoever!

The only man in Ghana with a common sense is gone, gone forever, and that was Obadwemba Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, who in his time built over 200 factories and a lot of projects in Ghana, including the building of Tema Township, the Tema harbour, Tema dry dock, Fishing Harbour, Akosombo Dam, Okonfo Anokye hospital, and any kind of project in Tema township was done by Osagyefo, wasn`t done by any of the terrorist U.P members who lack common sense.

when they go wrong they simply search for long words and complex expressions to confuse the ordinary Ghanaians.on the street.when they cry.
this culture of the Ghanaian learders is causing more harm . when will this people learn that they are there to serve ?
leardership in Ghana is about propaganda, deception coruption ,greed,embezelment and illegal protocol .

If our leaders have commonsense,they wouldn`t issue bonds for 25,48% intrest for three years.This is done if only by failed States.

Why on earth will the central bank of Ghana go out to borrow only $207million at 25.6%? BECAUSE GOVERNMENT HAS NO MONEY LEFT TO SPEND OR PAY PREVIOUSLY BORROWED MONEY!

Pratt, call a spade a spade! The name is John Mahama. So it, John Mahama has no common sense as a leader of the country. It is no secret and you are not the first Ghanaian to know about this weak side oof the president.

Value Added Tax

is just like capital gains tax in America.Everybody pays it based on gains not principal.If I deposit five thousand cedis in my account and earn additional 5000 in the form of interest,my tax liability is on the extra 5000 only.There is no need to panic.The economy is in bad shape because of internal capital flight.Keep up the good work Mr.Pratt,you are the best in Ghana because you tell it like it is.

I sometimes wonder the sort of person Mr Kwasi Pratt is. He seems to forget what he once said or use to say sometime back. What does he mean by OUR LEADERS?, Is he not the same person who used to praise the deeds of the current leaders?. I believe Mr Pratt do not normally speak WITH CONVICTION. Critical analysis of his sayings Indicates that He normally follows WISHFUL THOUGHTS Driven by Greed .

taxes are good for development and to pay down national debt but a whopping 17.5% VAT BANK TAX NEEDS SOME REAL EXPLANATION HERE. stop milking the people because you have the power and resources to implement and push on the people is absurd. how did we get this far and how did our national debt got to this height that taxes are being implemented everywhere for the ordinary man who was not part of this loot and share system of governance to bear. let those who broke the pot fix it meaning the government should go after any individual who in anyway contributed a financial loss to the country to book. go after them and i dont care what the fuck party that individual belongs. the ordinary man needs some break go after the financial manipulators and leave the hard working ghanaians alone. we need accountability and check and balances and no one should be exempted. we have witnessed tighten your belt since Rawling's era now its going to be " bottom tightens"
