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 & STEALTH TAXES. 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, PRIME MINISTER YINGLUCK SHINAWATRA WAS REMOVED BY THE CONSTITUTIONAL COURT FOR ABUSING POWER. LOOK AT GHANA;-- EMBRAER PLANE SCANDAL, STX KOREA,NDC US$20 MILLION PARTY HQ., US$4 MILLION DODGY JUDGEMENT DEBT TO MRS RAWLINGS AND HER COMPANY, SUBAH, GYEEDA, WOYOMI, ISOFOTON, WATERVILLE, AFRICA AUTOMOBILE, CP, SADA, FORTIZ/MERCHANT BANK,FREE EXPENSIVE CARS FOR CHIEFS, AKONFEM AND A HOST OF OTHER DODGY JUDGEMENT DEBT PAYMENTS. BUYING VOTES WITH CASH, LAND CRUISERS & LAPTOPS JUST TO WIN ELECTIONS. WHY NDC?????? WHY??? OUR SUPREME COURT COULD NOT HELP BUT DESCRIBED IT AS "ALLIANCE TO CREATE, LOOT AND SHARE" WHAT A SHAME? ?? AND YOU CALLING GHANAIANS TO A WASTEFUL ECONOMIC FORUM. NDC, THE MONEY IS WITH YOU, GIVE IT BACK TO GHANA. NPP, I SALUTE YOUR COURAGE FO

We all know the conspiracy to murder and kill Mills was engineered by the pepeni/ayigbe wicked anti Akan agenda and one of the triggers was the reestablishment of diplomatic relations with our brothers the Israelis . Now they wish us to make enemies with our natural allies in the west so we estranged with our diaspora . Why don't they go and organize a demo at the chief imam/terrorists house for after going to the Israeli embassy to beg for gifts and donations they received in good faith they chose to insult the Israelis . I wonder why this NDC mafia/Muslim group did not organize this demo during the Arab spring when they were killing our Akans in the tens of thousands all over . Why don't we see demos in front of the Libyan , Syrian , Morocco , Tunisia , Egypt and Saudi embassies ? why do they want to turn this country into another anti American / west fortress of stupidity. Did it ever cross their retarded minds that over half a million Akans live in Germany and over a million in the USA due the exodus caused by the wickedness and discrimination of the jj rawlings fake revolution? I will not mention the rest of the countries that accepted our people and gave them a chance to live comfortably yet they want to make propaganda war against these nations. Let them bus these fools to the embassy and i hope they have said their last goodbyes to their mothers as we will ambush them with our cutlasses and make sure they never go back home . we shall instruct our criminals and armed robbers to put their nefarious activities to good use and start targeting only ndc homes and their sympathizers . We shall make Ghana very unsafe for them as they have free accommodation , free food , free cars , free house boys and girls so can misbehave whenever they wake up. Americans despite some of their mischief with Monsanto and other foolishness are still our brothers and we will make sure all people who mean us well continue to feel welcome . Did it even cross the minds of these idiotic ndc that the person who wrote that tweet had every right since they were most likely half Akan and are disgusted by the careless irresponsible way the ndc are ruling ? did they not so long ago say they have a better agenda , action year, manifesto , no need for an all inclusive govt or tapping into the potentials of even the diaspora , no need for free education in the south too, no need to investigate the mysterious death of Mills , encouraging sodomy and homosexuality , govt still in first gear or now in reverse or completely stopped for lack of the fuel of ideas . In fact things are so bad that nobody sees anything but a bitter Ghana agenda , competent people with integrity refuse to participate in the mess of a govt or serve under and idiot of a pepeni president Mahama. Even our international partners shy away from having anything to do with this NDC as our problems are all about NDC POLITICS and their incorrigible rouge tribal fascism which further pushes our people to poverty . if you speak up and don't sing their hallelujah chorus of stupidity and hatred of the Akans you will be immediately be branded a drug baron , corrupt , arrogant , ashanti/akyem primitive ,madman , deranged , fool or idiot for pointing them in the right direction . how can there be a successful economic dialogue that will produce sustainable macroeconomics and plans based on the positive potentials of our people if all the major stakeholders including the diaspora are marginalized or excluded . if no one can dare to criticize the govt for fear of being victimized or persecuted by the ewes and northerners today ? The potential of the majority due to this tribal ndc politics is excluded from participating in anything so how do they expect the move things forward in reality have nothing to offer except corruption , hatred of the Akans and narrow mindedness? petition or not this govt is burdened by being illegitimate in the minds of all citizens ( as all still suspect election rigging and corruption of the judges ) so can never perform or have the true authority and support of the majority to produce a better future.one way or another they will be made to leave as their despicable acts have lead to all victims deeply despising them. God is with us and soon we shall have our day

Get your head out of your butt and you will see that you are supporting a bogus government which doesn't have a clue how to govern a nation.

I wonder if you ever finished even primary six.

No wonder Mahama and his hardcore crook in NDC is having a field day manipulating fools like you.

I personally don't give a shit about NPP or any other fucking party either. They are all thieves just like Mahama and Co.

If I had my way, I will line all of them up and shoot them to save mother Ghana from a whole lot of headaches and heartaches.Period.

Let me ask you something very simple,
if today the way things are going on in our country, if it is NPP political party is in Government, will you clap
and praise them that they are doing well?

A country which a small proportion of
people has been able to destroyed
everything, robbed the Tax Payers,
confused our economy, corrupt our state, stealing all the wealth in our
country for their own selfish interest, do you see such issues as
good enough to support? Hopeless and senseless Cow who call himself/herself
JAH LOVE, Swine you.

The majority people of this country are suffering, girls are even hanging
themselves for lack of money to pay their school fees, Electricity has no
place in our modern country, Ghana,
no water, unemployment in the country is unprecedented, rape is the highest
level in our country by NDC officials
and Ministers, all our roads are rotten, all businesses have been collapsed, surprisingly idiot and corrupt Mahama has ordered 30 V8 Cars
(4x4 Land Cruisers) each costing $130
Thousands American dollars and distributing them to the chiefs in our country as bribes to influence them
to support Mahama and his NDC crooks
to so that they can steal more for themselves, if Ghana has such money to
spend lavishly, why should we go to the World Bank to beg for such loan of $156 million American dollars to purchase Sanitary Pads for our mothers and cars and pay such a high interest
on it? Is it the kind of Government we the civilized Ghanaian People should support and encourage? Oh, civilized
Ghanaian People, we all have to wake up and saver our nation and the people of Ghana from this NDC thievery administration.

JAH LOVE or what ever name you call yourself, you are a monkey with only
human skin covering your skeleton to
portrayed and deceive the world class of people that you are a human being,

You have to understand that the constant increases of fuel is making economic situation in the country unbearable. Any fuel increase affect every sector of the economy. This is something Mahama should understand because he does not need a "rocket scientist to explain that to him.

When Kufuor was in power, how many times did be increase the price of fuel as compared to NDC? People are sick of Mahama's insensitivity and lack of understanding to the plight of the average Ghanaian.

When NDC was pushing to creating 45 additional constituencies, that idea met stiff opposition but... Where is the money coming from to meet that additional expenses? Commonsense is what is missing with this leadership.

Efo, let me as you one thing. Imagine being a newly CEO to head an organization, what will be your first action on the job? At least, you will take a closer look at the finances of the company to see its viability. As soon as Mahama was elected, he accepted salary increment plus additional two years back pay. If the nation can afford that why do you think other workers will do? Can he tell them to hold on because there is money? Please..

What is going on in Ghana is a "man made" problem because Mahama and his economic team are clueless. Where were when Kwesi Botchway said that the Finance Ministry is packed with "accountants" which is not good?

Akuffo Addo is promising anything free but we have to accept the fact that Mahama and NDC are bunch of useless leaders.

What makes this guy's statement infantile is the fact that he has never seen the strain on productivity when all work is stopped for the numerous unnecessary holidays. Ghanaians want to sacrifice. But for what? The government does whatever it wants without any regard for the concerns of the poor and suffering.

There is not a single member of the top hierarchy of the ruling party or ministers who is not living in opulence. The people see these annoying displays. A plane load of gold registered to Ghana lands in Turkey, and the government comes up with the most condescending explanation. Did the government think the masses were stupid.

The president and his party are not serving Ghanaians. They rather are forcing Ghanaians to serve them. You only listen when someone is making sense. The government is not making sense.

These NDC apologists do just not understand and appreciate the kind of situation in which the NDC gov't's kind of performance is leading the country, which is anything but the abyss.
The country is not working, and the NDC gov't needs to sit up, because Ghanaians would not take the unbearable and worsening standard of living from the mismanagement, incompetence, ineffectual leadership, looting and corruption of the Mahama led NDC gov't.
News of suicides amongst the young of our society who should have been in school but because of hardship, their parents cannot afford their fees to send them to school, issues of parents selling their children for rituals and for labour, when these children should have been in school, the escalating menace of armed robbery, the astronomical rise in contract killings in the country, all point to a society consciously breaking down, and the NDC gov't needs to shun the propaganda, browbeating and deliver.
NDC gov't should perform and deliver or leave the scene because this state of affairs is unacceptable.

NDC is a criminal organization. I strongly believe that. Anyone who doubts this must come and explain who are the beneficiaries of the following: Gyeeda, Sada, Subah, Merchant Bank etc. Also that same person must explain to me why the following programs originally instituted by NPP have all collapsed:NHIS, Getfund, School Feeding Program, free maternal care and the like. I have never heard any NDC explaining why Woyome still walks free even as they are the ones who sent him to court. Woyome has threatened to mention all the names of his culprits including jon Mahama himself so somebody, please explain why Woyome walks free and the whereabouts of Betty MOuld Idrissu. Wherever NDC is found, there is either corruption, stealing, destruction and or killing of innocent humans. NDC came first to kill Ghanaians. For instance, they killed high court judges for no reason; including Justice Koranteng Addow a nursing mother, and two other high court judges among thousands of innocent civilians, burnt them to ashes. NDC came to destroy all the good policies instituted by NPP including GETFUND, School Feeding Program, Free Maternal Care, National Insurance Scheme, District Assembly Common Fund and the Metro Mass Transportation system. They have managed to destroy all of these programs. How callous could they be? And finally they have stolen all assets belonging to Ghana, selling all to themselves. They have stolen Ghana's bulky money in the treasury and last but not the least, they have created Gyeeda, Woyome, Sada, Subah, Merchant Bank, all in the name of judgement debt but rather criminally sharing the monies among themselves. How dare you? I mean how callous are you to behave like this? NDC is typical in stealing, killing and destroying just as Satan the devil.

NDC is the worst political party in Africa. The 1992 constitution was imposed on Ghanaians by the PNDC under Jerry Rawlings with its albatross Transitional Provisions which protect all presidents to loot and share without being accountable to the people.
The president cannot be tried in any court of competent jurisdiction for any acts of ommision or commision whilst in office. in effect, this means that the sitting president can loot and share by engaging in financial malfeasance and go scot- free after leaving office.
John Mahama wants to take advantage of this provision in the constitution, and that partly accounts for his unwillingness to fight corruption. In fact he is an active participant and collaborator of all corrupt practices of his government. Ghanaians cannot sit down and allow this injustice to go on. The president must be accountable to the people.
Ghanaians must demand the removal of the Transitional Provisions from the 1992 Constitution, and presidents made to account for any financial malfeasance where the evidence is overwhelming. The principle of accountability must be applicable to everybody including the president.
Jerry Rawlings used probity and accountability to kill a lot of Ghanaians for petty thefts, and looted the state coffers to secure himself for the rest of his life. And before leaving office Tsatsu Tsikaka inserted the Transitional Provisions into the 1992 constitution to insulate Jerry Rawlings from prosecution of acts of commission and ommission. Why was the principle of accountability not applicable to Jerry Rawlings? This was a clear case of injustice in Ghana, and not until this injustice is corrected, the souls of all those killed by Jerry Rawlings would continue to cry to disturb this country until true justice is done.
Whether the demonstration will worsen the plight of Organized Labour or not, the demonstration will go on.
In fact, if after the demonstration tomorrow ,the conditions of the ordinary Ghanaian do not improve, the demonstrations will continue unabated.

is partly responsible for the woes of the country. The stealing of the countries time and resources is done by members of organized labour. Go to the TUC building and witness grown men lazying about but collecting pay and demanding more. Is organized labour in a bubble? Or it is made up of the same people stealing from the country. Are the employees of the public sector part of organized labour? Are those the same people who demand bribes before they pay an invoice of a working man? Are they different from those doing illegal connections, evading taxes and taking government toilet papers home for their own use? Are they different from those siphoning gas and selling the brand new tyres from newly acquired government trucks and pocketing the money. They need to look in the mirror and they'll see who is responsible for their woes.

Demonstrations are valuable way of seeking change. But what value of change will come from a bunch incorrigible thieves and hustlers banding together to make noise? Nothing. Because the demonstrators are the people that need to change. They are responsible for the stagnation of the country. They collect pay at their various ministerial and public sector jobs but do very little. Arrive at 10am, go to lunch at 12pm, come back at 2pm and leave at 3pm. And they believe somehow that is working. They need a reality check. They are the part of the problem. Their laziness and unproductive nature is why the Ghanaian economy is circling down the toilet. Any money knows if you continue to take from the banana cache and not add anything to it, sooner or later you'll be left with nothing. Ghanaians need to start learning about how economies work and stop wasting time in churches.

Most people have been misled to think that the government is insensitive to the plight of the masses. I don't think that a government which would one day be seeking re-election would deliberately impose hardship on the people.

With the discovery of oil, there was this false hope that everything would be well. As a result, workers salaries were hiked under the single spine salary policy without any corresponding increase in productivity. The salaries of both the Executive and the Legislative arm of government were astronomically increased without much thought about the future repercussions these actions would have on the national
economy.

Now, whether we like it or not, the reality has dawned. It is time for us all to sacrifice to repair the damage caused the economy. Just as a sick person is forced to take a bitter medicine to get healed, so must we as a nation be prepared for the austerity measures put in place by the government to bring back the economy into sound footing.

I know that those who are desirous to see the back of this government would never agree with me in anyway. They would begin to cite Woyome, Gyeeda and what have you as if they are daily occurrence.

Workers have every right to demonstrate against worsening condition of living but to be sincere, let us ask ourselves whether at the end of the day, the action by the TUC can help solve our problems?

What would the TUC say if by their action the government is forced to review taxes and in the process is unable to raise enough revenue to pay workers? Your guess is good as mine.
