    And they wanted Npp to come and waste their time to watch Akua Donko's foolishness. She was a waste of time and money. She just slept and only interested in the chicken and rice take away.

    What Joke economic conference.

  • Agnes Gadzi 10 years ago

    We are not serious as a country. Mahamah and his administration is a joke.

    Is inability to speak English and not being able to be educated by Europeans made one an illiterate?

  • CARDINALA 10 years ago

    She is an illiterate because she has no technical knowledge of the nuances of micro and macro economics.

    What is your definition of literacy? You measure literacy by how much money one have? You call that Mansah Musah gibb ...

  • Tokyo 10 years ago

    A very very. Useless forum. and very pathetic governance if ur beloved country Ghana.

  • Don Blunt 10 years ago

    Very pathetic, indeed. Especially for a Ghanaian Politician to praise the participation of Akua Donkor.
    Is this the level of our intellectual leadership today?

  • Kwasi Asante , Providence, R.I. 10 years ago

    Mahama government is a joke if they considered Madam Donkor as a serious contributor to National Ecconomic Forum. Morons running the affairs of Ghana. The results proved my point. Pathetic.

    The Knowing Nothing Academicians and educated ones in Ghana think they are wiser than people who have not been to school. These 'nincompoops' confuse knowledge with wisdom which cannot be taught in school. We complain about w ...

    Tell me how many Ghanaians can ready and write their mother tongue. 90% can only speak but not write and ready.

  • Santana 10 years ago

    The best brains were invited to participate in the forum at taxpayers' expense. Someone obviously thought it was essential to invite her and deliberately left out others such as Paa Kwesi Nduom. Are we serious as a nation? L ...

    Take a look at the entire 22 point communique/consensus or whatever they call it, and you will understand why they believe Akua Donkor was useful. The entire paper looks like freshman year students doing some kind of group p ...

  • Analyst 10 years ago

    As a country, we have a lot to gain if we treat each other with respect and dignity. There is absolutely no reason why we should dismiss Mami Akua Donkor. She (or any other person) does not have to make a brilliant suggestion ...

  • HOLY SINNER 10 years ago

    Ghana belongs to us all not for booklongers alone

  • Di asempa 10 years ago

    what has Ghana gained so far with all our education? tell me. with all the enginires, professors, politicians. all they know, is to steal the country and then go after young girls. God will punish all of them.

  • Corrupt Justice 10 years ago

    Ghana, and for that matter, Africa as a whole has not developed because our politicians are greedy, selfish, wicked, and highly corrupt. See how they are amassing wealth while sacking the innocent poor workers.

  • K. MANU 10 years ago

    If Ghana belongs to us all then why were we all not invited to the forum? What criteria was used in selecting the participants? Yes, Akua Donkor is a Ghanaian, but the question is, what is her track record in economic affairs ...

    NEF my arse and Akua Donkor my foot. This this the hallmark of the PNDC/NDC. We saw this when Ghana was drafting our Constitution for a return to Dmocracy. J J Rawlings then know as Chairman Rawlings packed the Constituent ...

    I can see that Mame Akua is far asleep. Look at her. And she collected per diem? Oh Ghana.

  • Danny 10 years ago

    A educated person don't steal from the illitrate people but rather uses his rich knowledge to help those unfortunate ones. But who can stand out as Educated? do we have any? Is yes we do, then who are those we called thives?

  • Corrupt Justice 10 years ago

    So, if illiterates like Akua Donkor are elevated to prominence at such fora like the flopped Economic forum, then what moral courage can you garner to campaign for reducing illiteracy rate in the country? Hmm! cheap politicki ...

  • DR KUFFOUR 10 years ago

    What stop Mr Baako from taking part? He is a typical "Talk - Talk, No Action" man. He is alwzys on the Tele talking but didn't show up when most expected. Too known!

  • Meshack 10 years ago

    What is the difference between Akua Donkor and Rawlings? Is it the fact that he can speak English...what evidence does Jerry John have to support the assumption that he has been to school? If the NDC had people with the sligh ...
