NDC has totally collapsed the entire nation, both economically, politically

I have been traveling on some of these buses to and from the North and is shocked by what I've observed.

Some buses had their seats torn; one bus had its ceiling so dirty that I thought it would have been better if they were scrapped; another had broken driving mirrors and another spoiled and left us in the middle of the road. Some of us had to find our own ways out because the bus they promised coming to pick us from Tamale never came at the time we were leaving.

Then, Ikept wondering if Management could not innovative enough to acquire air-conditioned buses to ply the North-South route and charge economic fares for their services. This is because of the drastic temperature change in the weathers of the two regions.

In all these I wondered how much it would cost to took fix these challenges.

Then, again, was indiscipline on part of drivers and their conductors. Overloading with passengers standing when they should not overload nor rails provided to enable passengers stand. Further, passengers were allowed to sit on the engine compartment when it was boldly written that it is dangerous for passengers to do so. Foul-mouthing and intolerance from some drivers and conductors were also observed.

Fortunately, what I did not observe was drivers and conductors pocketing passengers' fares.

But the broader picture of neglect of the buses and indiscipline on the part of workers of the company are paramount and must be checked before any amount is advanced to the company.

The private companies are striving because they are either small or the know the loop-holes, thus nobody can loot them. But gov. nobody cares, it's chop and chop. Even the bosses get their share of the booty. So the best way way to go is, privatize the transportation system. Those crying for a bail-out are those benefiting from the booty. Do not waste tax payers money for few greedy individuals.

It's hard to understand why similar private institutions within the same industry thrive and that of the government fails or collapse. Is it that, because it is for the government those put in charge are aliens and not human beings who could think as their counterparts in the private sector to improve. Anyway, as it stands now, I should think the only way to bail them out is, to get Woyome's money to rescue them. It is almost the same about, and could help salvage the situation

Same thing is gon happen in 5 years...company was saved from collapse 5 years ago... How can you ask to be forgiven 58 mil but expecting a delivery of 230 buses at the end of year...most people in ghana think siphoning little monies from your job is cool n is the only way to get ahead...this is impeded in the ghanaian DNA. This is what people in the diaspora have a problem with. What happened hard work and dedication. On my recent visit to ghana I met a girl who goes to church everyday of the week..after talking for a week she wanted me to give her $4000 to lease her a store...I told my friend everybody in gh is crazy...I just don't get thier thinking...why would I give u 4gs while women buy me stuff where I live....4gs in one week n this girl go to church every day of the week...so if u go to church everyday n you think siphoning little monies from ur job is okay then why even go to church. If everyone at your job does that the company is gon collapse n u gon end up with no job...it's funny how someone doing deals st thier job will go n see a preacher to help the deal go through. U know the preacher gets his share...don't know what God these people worship but the book says seek ye first the kingdom of heaven n....WOW. Too many snakes that's why we need to get in the mood of firing to get people to take thier job serious...if some one is late 3 times sack him. If they don't do thier job right sack them...this is the only way in my opinion which will change the mindset of lazy people...trust me u wouldn't wanna work for me.

You are such a stupid Cow, when you NDC crooks has robbed our country's produce for your own selfish interest, and pretended you don't know who has mismanaged our national economy instead blaming NPP credible politicians for your own economical, administrative and political mess and blunders, Kwasea like you which NDC so-called politician has make any meaningful contribution in our country than NPP politicians or paid some heed
to any form of advise as regards to how our nation can be administered with vision and better clues? When one
give you simple advise you senseless
Cows hasn't got, you NDC monkeys goes
our to insult whoever tries to ensure
that you are disturbing the already fragile economy you, hopeless Mahama,
Bui Dam thief Asiedu-Nketia and senseless, uneducated Fiifi Quartey
and senseless talkative Kwakye Ofosu
goes out to rain massive amount of insults to whoever wants to help repair the mess you have created. There is no one with any right frame
of mind will support or become part of an NDC so-called politicians. Every
NDC so-called politicians are just a
bunch of senseless materials. Kwasea bi nti, Tweaaa today look at the strength of our cedi, Aboa beast.

Tell the majority people of this nation where are the proceeds of
the Kuffour and his NPP oil found?

Swine like you and your senseless NDC
idiots, how much did you idiots spend
at Akosombo due to your own economical
chaos you made such a huge hole in our
national economy again, which is already paralyzed. Kwasea like that, swine you.

For refusing to take part in a national, non-partisan forum to brainstorm for solutions to the effects of the global economic meltdown on Ghana is the worst form of lack of patriotism. I therefore completely withdraw my sympathies for the NPP.

In the process, even though NDC is messing up and NPP would have been the obvious alternative I am now convinced NPP is totally unfit to be given our destiny. I think we should rather back the CPP as an alternative.

Do you understand 'global economic meltdown'? Please don't portray your ignorance on the subject. When the developed economies were tumbling down, 'emerging' and 'frontier' economies were the hope of international investors. The NPP had brought stability to the economy. That is why the NDC could go borrowing money to unprecedented levels. But wait, the IMF and rating agencies are issuing warnings to the NDC, just as they did throughout the 80s and the 90s. Very soon, the cup will be full and technically, no institution will lend to Ghana any more. Then NPP will step in and ask to go HIPC. For now the Nation Destroyers Congress(NDC)will destroy all that which the NPP put in place in 8 years.

Sgt. Fiadzoe,
Sometimes I read a good opinionage from you. On this issue your lack of political knowlegde is demonstrated.
What was the Economical forum for if the people coming together are the same people running the government; and the likes of Akua Donkor's knowledge. The forum was a waste of time and public funds. It was boys and girls coming together to crack some good free meals and wine.
Such Economical forum should be extended to invite Ghanaians in diaspora to brain storm from within neutral entity.
NPP (Kuffuo) started to bring Ghanaians in diaspora aboard into national building. NPP started the implementation of Dual Citizenship. NDC took over and killed all the prospects to tap into the drained brains. There are many Ghanaians with broad knowledge to help build our national economy. Yet, NDC cannot see through the benifit to welcome Ghanaians in diaspora along. NDC is simply a failed government. During JJ leadership Ghana's economy was a stand still for most part and chased our tails for good 18 years. NPP took less 8 years to turn things around. Then again NDC took over and down raided all that prospects established by NPP. People cannot see through this simply fact. NDC is just wasteful government.

Yaw Boateng Djan and empty talkative

and vision, who should come and use
his brains correct the mess you have
created and still refusing to accept

The government must not clear the debt of Metro Mass if the new management is to learn from past mistakes and or encouraged to keep their eye expenditures and revenue of their operations. With the transit organization in debt the new management will be forced to make money to clear existing debt rather than use any net revenue gains to give themselves unearned bonuses and or throw parties. It is about time every government entity paid their way through life; the days of free handouts are over boys and girls.

A visit to the Abrepo Junction station at Kumasi will tell you the real story of why MMT is not making money. Whilst passengers troop to the station to board buses, the workers (drivers, ticket issuers) close the door to willing passengers who wish to patronise the services of MMT even though the seats in these buses are nothing to write home about; size and comfort wise citing lateness. When gets to similar boarding venues of the MMT, it is as if there is no accountability of thei workforce to any one whatsoever. Here they run the service as if it was none of thier business and now turning to same taxpayer their workforce insults to bail them out.

Private companies run 24/7 shouting hoarse and cajolling unwilling passengers to meet their deadlines

Please MMT, awards are given for RESULTS and NOT EFFORTS. Be smart and stay competitive in the game, we shall not dole out any more moneys for unneccassry comfort of your staff whilst the rest of the country suffers!!!
