NDC HAS BEEN THE LUCKIEST GOVERNMENT IN GHANA'S HISTORY IN TERMS OF RESOURCES, BUT THROUGH THIEVERY, THEY ARE NOW BEING RIDICULED AS THE MOST DISGRACEFUL. NDC MUST STAY AWAY FROM THE HERITAGE FUND!! CUPIDITY HAS EATEN INTO NDC'S BONE, THEY MUST STAY CLEAR FROM THE FUND. IF YOU ALLOW NDC ONE INCH CLOSE TO THAT FUND, THEY WILL STEAL ALL OF IT.
THAT MONEY CANT TURN THINGS AROUND, THE DAMAGE NDC HAS CAUSED IS TOO DEEP. WE HAVE A LITTLE OVER $100 MILLION IN THAT FUND. AN AMOUNT WHICH ONE NDC THIEF CAN BLOW WITHIN A WEEK, TO SATISFY HIS AVARICE. NDC GREEDY CORRUPT BASTARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

we have always pointed out that mahama is burdened by tribal ethnic hatred for the Akans and could help himself but show his true colors in Kumasi . The fact that there is no Fanti who is a substantiate minister says it all. Any Akan who is a member of this treacherous hate filled ndc is only sawing the tree of life he is sitting on .People still refuse to open their eyes and recognize the reality of this sad evil situation .its seems our pessimistic predictions about our country are coming true .the country will eventually fall apart due to tribalism and corruption as the institutions of state will become so weak and biased that they will be the cause of an uprising that will turn bloody .nothing good can come out of following this govt as they are too busy being selfish , greedy and hating the Akans .it is the reality of our circumstance and is partly due to the lazy , blindly trusting nature of the Akans.God does not help lazy people who can not make good positive choices and decisions . do not call upon the name of thy lord in vain .there is true wisdom in the Bible just that our people are fond of misintepreting things to suit their non action laziness and foolishness .our people are not everyone in ghana , africa or the universe , our people are the 10 tribes ordained by God to be the Akans .NDC would have us believe the country is and economy is getting better but in reality they are stealing more to Iran Dubai and Turkey every week . They would have has believe this pepeni could get a greater victory margin the mills and in 2016 or next they will beat Nkrumah and North Korea's record and get 99,99% of the vote as all Ghanians are so enthusiastic about Great Pepeni that they don't believe that anyone can do any better . They have brainwashed and conditioned the minds of many to believe Akans are the undoing of the nation the same way the Israelite were in Egypt but when we say let our people go they say we are nations wreckers and we are too selfish because we will not be slaves and give our gold , oil and cocoa willing for free as its their birthright to exploit us . They tell us where ever you go in the tro tros and in the streets people are singing praises of Mahama and burst up in joy when ever they see any NDC man coming , we know otherwise . the time will come for sure when the people will resign to the fact that only a bloody uprising will set us free . SHAME ON YOU all of you who refuse to see the truth and support this criminal mafia govt .

It is sad indeed when the ruling NDC government allows itself to be held hostage by civil servants. As the story goes in the USA, there was once Air Traffic Controllers who worked for the US government at the nation’s airports to control the arrival and departure of all aircrafts who went on strike during President Ronald Reagan's time in office. Guess what? The Reagan administration fired all those who went on strike and replaced them with management personnel, retired Air Traffic controller and people qualified to be trained for jobs.
Ghana has enough unemployed people with enough credentials to man every court in the country at least until more graduates from our universities can come out and take the bar exams. It will take a determined and decisive Mahama’s NDC to understand that when the government seeks sacrifices from all civil servants, no one must have the clout to hold the nation hostage or claim exemption to needed sacrifices. These thieving and corrupt prone officials in our courts should know they have had it made for a long time and there is a new sheriff in town.

Abeeku,

On the other hand, it is ironic that after endorsing the stolen presidency, Mahama thanks the Judiciary by cutting their pay. May be it serves them right

What did Ghana ever do wrong to deserve such a useless government?

And where's the military when you need them? A military intervention is long overdue.

God help us !!!!

The number of court houses and judges in Ghana are inadequate. The population has ballooned and changes have to be made. The same can be said of the number of police officers and the number of penitentiaries. On a visit to a number of court houses around the country I found the Ghana flag and the Ghana Coat of Arms (Seal) absent. This must change.

Good policing is needed in order for companies to operate effectively. How many detectives has the Ghana police service got and to what extent do they pursue cases? Too many people are being robbed of their toil and sweat. It is important that we increas the police-population ratio.

In many areas especially in the at least 12 Akyem districts which make up more than half of the population of the Eastern Region the police is out of reach but the chiefs have been doing their best in ensuring that law and order prevail in these areas.

Looking at salary levels or the per capita income it is apparent that a sizable proportion of the population cannot afford good legal services. The government must therefore provide some subsidies in this regard lest our republic turn into an oligarchy.

Judges deserve good salaries but what would a judge consider virtuous?? Judges must bear in mind that their salaries cannot be more than the productivity of the general public. They must take the GNI per capita of Ghana into account.

How can judges help increase the GNI of Ghana?

Fellow Ghanaians let us sympathies with Mahama. He has woefully failed.He thought presidency is like playing marbles. It requires critical thinking.Every center of mahama's administration cannot hold. Everything is falling apart. Poor Mahama,do not even think of contesting for a second term.Even with your second term not over you've become a disgrace.Enough is enough.
