  If Jm fails to sack this useless minister you will fail miserably. He is not performing, yet has no discretion as to what to say.

  IMF policies are geared towards the contraction of the economy which stagnant growth. Tax increases in particular pushes for the avoidance and evasion of tax payments, creates hardships and drives away investors which translates into less tax revenue.The end effect is unemployment. Reduce tax rates will entice investors, energize the private sector to boost tax revenue and open up employment avenues for the ordinary Ghanaian, In the mean time government should concentrate on provision of water, roads, power,transparent legal system,etc and surely the economy will take off.

  AKUFO-ADDO IS TERRIFIED OF GOING BROKE ON THE THIRD OCCASION FOR PLAYING "CHACHA" WITH HIS CASH, SO HE NOW ATTACKS KUFUOR TO RELEASE CASH STASHED AWAY IN SWISS AND OTHER FOREIGN BANK ACCOUNTS FOR THE NPP.
  
  KUFUOR PREFERS TO RELEASE THAT CASH TO BRING ON ALAN CASH. BE DOES NOT WANT TO GAMBLE THAT CASH ON TWICE-DEFEATED AKUFO-ADDO.
  
  GHANA WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE BACKWARDS IF WE CONTINUE TO VOTE FOR THE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF OUR SUCCESSIVE FAILED POLITICIANS AND THEIR CRONIES.
  
  ALMOST ALL OUR POLITICIANS ARE LAZY
  VISIONLESS CRIMINALS WHO NEVER DID
  BETTER COURSES AT SCHOOL FOR BETTER
  PAID PROFESSIONS, SO THEIR ONLY AIM
  IN POLITICS IS TO "STRIKE IT RICH" BY ANY
  MEANS BEFORE THEY ARE KICKED OUT OF
  OFFICE.
  
  MOST ARE THE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF
  PAST POLITICAL CRIMINALS WHO NEVER HAD GHANA AT HEART. NO WONDER MOST
  OF THEIR CHILDREN RETURNED FROM THEIR HOPELESS BENEFITS SCROUNGING EXISTENCE ABROAD.
  
  THEY THEN RETURN TO GHANA WITH THEIR
  LAZY, GET-RICH-QUICK LIFESTYLES ABROAD ONLY TO CREATE LOOT AND SHARE WHAT THEIR USELESS PARENTS LEFT OVER.
  
  THESE ARE THE KINDS OF PEOPLE RULING GHANA OVER THE YEARS.
  
  WE SHALL ALL SWIM IN THE SHIT.

  IN THE UK, NOBODY BUYS AND INSTALLS STREET LIGHTS BECAUSE THE LEADERS THERE KNOW WHAT THOSE TAXES ARE COLLECTED FOR.
  
  IN GHANA, LEVIES AND TAXES ARE USED FO
  FEEDING THE FREELOADING LIFESTYLES OF
  POLITICIANS AND OTHER LEADERS.
  
  AS WE SPEAK, THERE ANY MANY RETIRED CIVIL SERVANTS AND POLITICIANS LIVING IN GOVERNMENT HOUSING FREE. NOTHING PAID.
  
  OUR PRESIDENTS LIVE FOR LIFE IN PLUSH HOUSES PROVIDED BY GOVERNMENT, AND SO DO MANY OTHER SENIOR CIVIL SERVENTS.
  
  WHY WOULDN'T GHANA STRUGGLE WITH DEFICIT BUDGETS YEAR-ON-YEAR?
  
  THE FREELOADING LIFESTYLE OF GHANA'S LEADERS IS KILLING OUR ECONOMY, BUT GHANAIANS, AS USUAL, DO NOT GIVE A HOOT.
  
  AS WE SPEAK, I HAVE DUG MY OWN BOREHOLE FOR GROUND WATER, PAID CSIR GHc200 FOR CHECKING MY QUALITY, PROVIDED MY OWN REVERSE OSMOSIS WATER TREATMENT PLANT AND INSTALLED 4 STREET LIGHTS, ALL FROM MY POCKET INSTEAD OF GOVERNMENT PROVIDING THESE BASIC SERVICES WE TAKE FOR GRANTED IN THE WEST.
  
  IN VIEW OF THE ABOVE, WHY SHOULD I PAY PROPERTY TAX?
  
  TEMA MOTORWAY TOLL COLLECTION STARTED "FROM ADAM". WHAT HAS GOVERNMENT USED THE COLLECTED TOLLS FOR? THEY ARE RATHER LOOKING FOR LOANS TO RECONSTRUCT SO-CALLED MOTORWAY.
  
  IN GHANA, DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS ARE ALWAYS FUNDED WITH LOANS, LOANS AND MORE LOANS!
  
  TEMA HARBOUR HAS BEEN CHARGING KILLER IMPORT DUTIES OVER THE HEARS, BUT VISIT THAT PLACE AND YOU'LL BE IN
  SHOCK AT THE STATE OF THE HARBOUR.
  
  EXAMPLES OF THESE ARE TOO NUMEROUS TO MENTION ABOUT HERE ON THIS FORUM.
  
  UK IS CHARGING PROPERTY TAX SO GHANA ALSO HAS TO CHARGE PROPERTY TAX.
  
  UK CHARGES VAT SO GHANA HAS TO FOLLOW SUIT BLINDLY.
  
  WE COPY THE WEST TAX POLICIES BLINDLY, YET THE WESTERN COUNTRIES DO NOT HAVE A QUARTER OF THE NATJRAL RESOURCES WE HAVE IN GHANA.
  
  THIS TELLS EVEN THE LUNATIC IN THE STREET THAT OUR LEADERS ARE SIMPLY USELESS AND BRAINLESS.
  
  OUR LEADERS ARE SO FOOLISH THAT THEY COPY ANY FUCKING POLICY OF THE WEST.
  
  GO TO THE UAE AND OTHER GCC COUNTRIES, THEY DO NOT IMPOSE MANY OF THESE KILLER TAXES ON RESIDENTS YET THEY LIVE A LIFE WESTERNERS CAN ONLY DREAM OF.

  This hatred for Ashantis won't do you any good. We love all Ghanaians and do not force anyone to speak our language. However, if you think for economic reasons you can reach more people by speaking two, so be it. Ashanti Twi is never about insult. You speak as if we do not have any morals in Ashanti Region.

  Ashanti movies are popular because the Akan language is popular than any other language in this country. The probability that you will hear people in Nortegion speaking Twi is very high than an Akan speaking Hausa or Ewe. Why do you have to make such a derogatory remark about Kumawood movies? One advise to u: focus on your career and forget about the politicians because when they leave power, that will be your end. A word to a wise.

It's your choice to remain NDC forever and it's their choice not to se you in their movies.

  After allegations early this year that he has been sidelined by movie producers in the Ashanti region for openly displaying his political colors and rallying behind the National Democratic Congress in the 2012 elections, the Fanti speaking witty actor, Clement Bonney, says his support for the ruling party will remain unshaken.
  
  Describing movie producers who have refused to engage his services because of his political affiliation as “immature”, Mr Beautiful as he is affectionately called, stated that political differences should not bring about enmity between people.
  
  Reacting to a texter’s question to an entertainment program on ETV over the weekend on why he joined politics, the audacious actor wondered why celebrities who openly mounted campaign platforms and compose songs for the New Patriotic Party’s 2008 and 2012 presidential candidate were not given the demeaning same treatment.
  
  “Four years ago celebrities in this country supported Nana Akufo-Addo, but no one raised concern about their involvement in politics, so why the fuss over mine. I can assure you that I’ll forever remain NDC and support President Mahama 1000 times,” Mr Beautiful vowed.
  
  Adding “anybody who thinks that way is immature. Our political affiliations should not make us enemies…I will continue to support President Mahama and NDC.”
  
  Asked about why he speaks Fanti in movies when most of the productions are done in the Ashanti region and the scripts written in Asante Twi, the well-known local actor retorted that he feels proud holding the flag of his mother region, the Central region.
  
  “I have received calls from ‘big men’ and respected people of the Fanti land including chiefs for speaking my native Fanti in all my movies. I can speak very good Ashanti Twi, but I won’t use it for movies. I’m proud of my language and if a producer gives me a script in Asante Twi I’ll reject it. My people back home have been praising me for promoting the language,” he said.
  
  Touching on why movie production has been concentrated in the Ashanti region and why other regions cannot do their own production, Mr Beautiful, in an apparent swipe at Ghana’s populous region, stated that the Ashanti dialect permits the use foul languages hence it is easy to use it for movie production.
  
  “The Northern belt frowns on the use of foul language, it is the same in the Volta and the Southern coastal belt…, those part of the country do not allow it either but those at the middle belt of the country consider the use of foul language as normal, so it is easy to produce movie in that part of the country because you have the liberty to say all the bad things,” he explained.
  
  According to him the assertion that movies in the local dialect have no future is true, explaining that “the movies are full of insults and anything made of insults certainly has no future. That is how the language is structured…it is full of insults.”
