  Then what is my next question. After the pomp and pageantry of a forum of which the NPP boycotted, and to which the NDC and its provocateurs whispered the praises of the ruling government, and during which deadbeat economists recycled moribund economic theories of the past, at a time when the concealed agenda is a mere cover for Ghana to swim into the waiting arms of the IMF, what next?

  Indeed, the poverty mentality is killing us, as a people and we will never develop when every step is viewed this way. How can we move forward? How? Am so livid. Why should we be looking at the cost of the forum when there are serious issues to be dicussed. And people think that with all the attention over the forum someone will be looking at swindling some cash? Give us a break! We are tired of these cacophony of noises. Ghana is doomed with the kind of people we have commenting and writing stories. Get serious guys!

  GHANA HAS BEEN RAPED BY NDC IDIOTS. WE DO NOT NEED ANY NATIONAL ECONOMIC FORUM, WE NEED A NATIONAL COURT OF JURISDICTION TO PUT MAHAMA AND HIS CABINET ON TRIAL. GHANA'S HOPELESS ECONOMIC SITUATION, TODAY, IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. NDC HAS OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS PRESIDED OVER THE BIGGEST RESOURCES IN OUR HISTORY INCLUDING CRUDE OIL. THEY HAVE ALSO CONTRACTED THE BIGGEST LOANS IN OUR HISTORY. IF THEY HAVE NOTHING TO SHOW FOR THIS AND THE ECONOMY IS IN SHAMBLES, THEN,THEY MUST BE PROSECUTED. THEY MUST GIVE THE MONEYS BACK TO THE TREASURY. WE DO NOT NEED ANY ECONOMIC FORUM. SET UP A COURT IMMEDIATELY. IT HAPPENED IN THAILAND RECENTLY

  Lets face it, all these ashawo journalists and media realized after peddling the propaganda and lies of the NDC that the people immediately saw through them and stopped buying their newspapers or listening to their radio stations , so they now offer watered down versions of the truth instead of the cold hard facts . 98% of the people of Ghana have rejected the corrupt moral and perverse ndc govt policies be it so called fight for sodomy and gay right to fake economy discussions . we do not have these pepeni and ayigbe idiots as you have to be worth something or worthy to hate we simply read my lips here totally DESPISE THEM. we despise their corruption , we despise their hatred of the Akan majority , we despise their looting and their daily lies , the list is endless as the rotten through and through. Not so long ago they tell us this is the Action year for the Better Agenda as the continue listen very carefully the murdered mill's agenda . Then they tell us they are only in first gear , now they say with the economic forum not only has the car stopped but they are now shopping around for IDEAS to find petrol to get the car moving again in a direction they don't know ? yes we deeply despise such pepeni ayigbe incompetence and they should know after this period will follow the period of FURY. Just look at the misery and woes they have brought upon our people and still they refuse to LET OUR PEOPLE GO. they are too busy steal the little foreign exchange left that the cedi is plummeting down. they are allies with kuffour and his band of robbers who hijacked the npp for a while and made sure they destroyed the grassroots network of the npp so npp can not truly lead any opposition fight to the end like the Ukrainians did . these foolish ndc don't seem to figure out every time they come up with a way to freely spend the tax papers money we see through their lies and propaganda . so after spending a thousand dollars a day per person at this 4 day national economic forum without consensus what do they have to show for it except more lies , propaganda and wishful fantasy thinking . shame on you kuffuor for giving them support , if you can find it in you to care then advise your partners in crime to resign and go away for good

  This forum is a waste of time. The real solutions is to stop loot and share, dubious judgement debt, stop wasting money o GHANA at 50 ceremony so Dr Wereku Brobbey will not steal poor tax-payers money, stop stealing in the name of guinea fowl, stop stealing in the name of planting trees in dry season and watch the trees die, stop giving out free money, laptops and cars to chief in order to win election. This is the only way to fix the economy.

  This government is really not serious and something needs to be done and done quick before we all sink because of a bunch of high taste but no delivery people.
  I also understand that all government staff present were given Ghc500 per day.Ei Mahama!

  Politics will kill us, what has the owner of the hotel got to do with NPP or its decisions? He is a business man trying to make some money and also get free advertisement for his hotel. Accountability is always a good thing, in most civilized countries the journalists would have done some fact finding and put out the cost of the forum -- nothing wrong with that.
