They have nothing constructive to offer, their stomach is their benchmark after that the rest of Ghanaians can go to hell.
What reckless generation are these? They live their lives by scheming evil and becoming overlord in communities by siphoning from wherever by whatever means they can to keep up their ill gotten fame and bequeath these traits to their children’s children.

Fellow Ghanaians, be aware that “Difficulties” are part of life, so it is for a growing nation like ours. It takes sacrifices to build and not laziness and gluttony to consume and destroy what we have here and now. It is obvious that the gluttonous opposition NPP has nothing to clinch on for their campaign; so they think using “corruption” as a slogan will earn them some moral image.

The question is “Who is more corrupt in Ghana than these Dankwa / Busia folks?”

They were lazy and dull witted with UGCC and Nkrumah came to turn things around to obtain independence and republic for Ghana, an enviable position that has liberated the whole of Africa and other parts of the world. What did these reckless do if they think they have the people of Ghana at heart? The sickness of DANKWA/BUSIA people is that, they don’t believe in themselves; had it not been that they would not have gone for Nkrumah. When Nkrumah was making progress in freeing the country from colonial powers, the dumbness and slow thinkers of these Dankwa/ Busua’s cannot grasped the enormous knowledge and experience of Osagyefo.
When Nkrumah became successful with the struggle these DANKWA / BUSIA people became jealous and bitter and it is this feeling that has degenerated into your current circumstances which continue to trouble this great nation. All arguments from Dankwa -Busia camp aims to bring people down and they will do these no matter what, even if they have to kill they will kill.
They don’t learn nor create; evil dwells in their heart. Like Saul in the Bible, when he saw David’s successes, he became so jealous and plot many schemes to eliminate him. But Alas! You have brought untold curse unto your families and generation for that matter "SIN CLUTCHES AT YOUR DOORS" for taken the whole nation for ransom just for the hate of one man. The man died long ago yet you still fight him and have not defeated him.

Our independence struggle is over, we are Ghanaians lets not live by who gave birth to us but live by what we can use our God given energy to create and bring peace and justice to our fellow being. If the descendants of these Dankwa / Busia parties can see, appreciate and accommodate others views, we all can move this country forward. They need to desist from plagiarising what persist in some countries and learn to create from within (it is not just buying and selling) it is development of human capital.

They took bribe to overthrow Dr.Kwame Nkrumah

They sold our Atomic energy to the Americans.

They are so racist that, they caused the deportation of mass foreign experts and industrialist from the country when Busia took over.

They pulled down all and abandoned all viable economic projects all because Nkrumah started it. “Everything Nkrumah is bad” yet they could not chalked down anything better memorable that has transformed any life in Ghana

Busia took to the presidency with too much talking and did nothing; He initiated policies and executed none of them. Whilst Dankwa descendants are seriously siphoning from state coffers to enrich and entrenched their families and well wishers. Thank God the then military saw all these dishonesty, nepotism, neo-colonialism and indiscipline growing from these arrogant nation reckless and non entities who seeked power and don’t know what to do with it than selling what has been built

Education is nothing to them; for them to get to the top means how much money you can exhibit or show to the public but careless about how they make their monies, they are greedy and enjoy backbiting, destroying, killing and make shameless utterances, bullying, join occult and make use of cannabis; these days cocaine.

Too much Trivialmindedness has engulfed with these so called Dankwa/Busia descendants who have never in their lives said the truth nor demonstrated maturity. They always portray silliness, low self esteemed and endemic mental slavery. What is so worrying is that they don’t mind destroying others because they want power. Attacking and distracting leaders without sound alternative is not only sickening but also portrays immaturity and emptiness of these cohorts. They just want to do or say something to grab unnecessary attention. They have no solution???. if you test their opinion by deep analysis, you always end up by cheap and shallow political biases and unfounded allegations.

They are so narrow minded that they will always dwell on shallow empty propaganda than to think of constructive alternative that will prove their ability as thinkers than “political hip pops” challenging and making empty utterances when silence would have earn them some respect.

It is very unfortunate to have calibre of people who displays nothing than greediness gluttony and cranking attitude towards each other. Even within their party they find it difficult to unite, how would they be able to unite the whole nation? NPP is a truly a joke they have nothing to offer. By their deeds you shall know them.

Ghanaians should not be blinded by these tax looters who only seek their interest by lobbying through their agents who are scattered throughout the country. Their sole interest is to make every regime ungovernable by castigating lies, ugly insults, throwing bombs, killing women, burning markets, lengthy shallow litigations in courts and false alarm blowers. What can they boast of themselves and what have they achieved for Ghana?
They want Ghanaians to be sub-servants to them whilst in their own thinking and mental deliberations; they perpetually remain slaves to neo colonialism.

Have you so soon forgotten how Kuffour brought Gisele Yaazi to Ghana as “special economic advisor” accommodated her in La Palm hotel with seven armed body guards which he later impregnated her with twins?
Were there not economic titans in Ghana at the time Miss Yaazi came in? And what role did she play in making Ghana the heaven Kuffour wanted?

Have you so soon forgotten how Kuffour who has no money to renovate his current residence and it was a farmer friend who sponsored the renovation of the house? Two years down the lane, after twisted the arm of Miss Yaazi by Kuffour`s own promises to her with regard to “hotel wa-wa”, Till today his son can buys hotel bigger than his fathers house. Incredible!!! Where was his son when the father’s house was going down?

Have you also done diligence to who owns Accra mall?
Who now owns Merchant Bank?
What is the source of Addo Kuffour`s income? Who as of now marks the 5th richest person in Africa?

Kuffour travelled more than any President on earth yet what did he bring home?
Kuffour introduced more initiatives (PSI) than any president which one of them survived?
Kuffour`s ministerial appointments was higher than all presidents what were their achievements?
Kuffour`s time in office saw real brutality of innocent and vulnerable people but you offered no defence nor justice for them (Issah Mobilla and Yaa Naa)
Kuffour`s Turn saw over 200 people dying in a stadium which your appointee (Jake Mulato) squandered all donations both foreign and abroad.
“Kick Backs” was the term in your administration and your party chairman then confirms to that.
It is you who has made the presidency so cheap that people like Nkrabea Effah Darteh wants to be president.
Our country became the hub of Cocaine activities. The over spending of these “junkies” is what has lured every Ghanaian today to be rich at all cost.

I find it very sickening when NPP sees nothing wrong with this man who has tainted their party with so much evil and embarrassment in the history our dear nation to walk about unchecked. He is an apology.

Bawumia I used to respect you a lot but I don't think you said this. No Maybe the media reported you wrongly. If you really said this then you have shoot yourself in the foot. It was during Kufour's regime when you were the deputy governor that some of us knew the inflation data you put across were not realistic. Do you have to leave government for you to know this? This days we used to say the inflation figure by NPP were whitewashed we were branded NDC, now you have realised that the inflation data your government and the current government put across were wrong. Oh my Goodness, Bawumia I think you are practicing double hypocrisy. Since Kufour's administration did the same and the current government has not deviated from the previous government I thought it is the accepted international norm.

Aside from the fact that this Bawumia guy is wrongly calling closing rates as exchange rates, why does he repeatedly seek to instigate an attack on the cedi with speculations with the hope that it weakens? What he's doing is criminal. If the cedi falls, people suffer and business struggle. And to find an so-called economist engage in this shocking reckless speculative game is wicked. Is he that desperate for power to begin attacking a national currency like that? What kind of politicians do we have in this country? Such irresponsibility

If Bank of Ghana keeps the rate of the cedi against the dollar artificially high, then it's Ghana that will lose because commercial banks can buy cheap dollars from Bank of and sell for huge profits as Dr Bawumia's data show. In other words, Bank of Ghana is subsidising the foreign exchange operations of the commercial banks at the expense of the state. It's madness at this time when the state is starved of dollars, so to sell the small amount in the system that cheap is not prudent.

AUTHOR: MR. FIGURE-OUT----------------
It is only in Ghana would such a dishonorably idiot be on the government pay roll. Professor Mill should be solely blamed for imposing those criminals on us. After Mills found Betty Moulds guilty of judgement debt payments the only thing he could do was to move her to the Education dept to continue her looting. Readers would recall that Betty Mounds was the one who awarded SCHOOL building contracts at a triple price of the existing contract sum of some GH 80,000.00. And this happened at a time when they claim inflation was in the single digits. Could you imargin how foolish these criminal liars were. Kuffour built similar structures with 80,000 at a time when inflation was around 14.8% and under Mills it was 240,000 at a rate of 8.8%. And these buffoons turn around to blame the fall of the cedi on some mysterious dwarfs. I don't blame those African countries that have been ripped apart by civil unrest because if you have such buffoons in power who always turn our local elections into a West Africa one
by contracting Togolese Trokosis, Burkinabe and Wangaras from La Cote D'ivoire to vote for them, the " Road To Kigare", is sometimes, a likely option to kick their ass from power.

bAWUMIA YOU KNOW THE TRUTH IS GHAna IS DOING WELL AND YOU COULD NOT HAvE DONE ANY BETTER!Is Ghana an exception to what happened in 2008(the collapse of the world's economy)? Why do you think people are moving back home to stay now more than ever? That should tell you something is right!
And talking about the oil, how much money is the government receiving from the oil deal- didn't the previous government negotiated the oil deal for nothing? Did you see the improvement on the road sector since the NDC came to power? Can you see/feel the PRESENT safety of the country? Can’t you see and feel the presence of the law enforcement in the country now than before? What of the increase of the salaries? What do you think the government is using to achieve all these, stones? Is that not all money? I do not think the NDC is doing enough explanation and talk in these areas for Ghanaians to understand at all and allowing the NPP to throw dust on the eyes of Ghanaians for nothing!
Look, the NPP they said it from the beginning that they will make the country ungovernable for the president. The World Bank knows all that. The NPP can talk and make noise-crying wolf is a strategy NPP is using to make the country look worse than it really is. Suffering today is not any different from yesterday.
The only thing is during the NPP’s era we had too much illicit money in circulating in the country and the world's economy was good anyway so the trickledown effect was in effect. But it was in exchange for the country's safety! The NPP cannot do magic. They cannot do any better at the presence circumstances. Free flow of cocaine creating false economic boom is never the answer. Ghana is moving on and the whole world can see it. SAFTEY AND PEACE HAS NO PRICE- NOT EVEN COCAINE CASH CAN PURCHASE THEM1

The Kuffuor led Maladroit government promised the world of a new Ghana cedi will gain value when pegged with the dollar, what we have now is not what was promised.Nothing was put in place by this illiterate Bawumia and his Kookoase economic gurus to sustain the parity of the cedi with other major currency.

When you do monetization, it means you have deliberately pegged your currency to the major ones with the hope that it's value will cope or improve.

Having this, we expected the BOP to improve through prudent economic policies but Bawumia's Dagati economic policies coupled with that of Koookoase bush meat economics only saw more importation of rice from india when Ghana could have invested in agriculture to produce own rice.And so, Bawumia should not think Ghanaians are illiterate as he is.

At this stage of our economic development, the only way is to borrow but invest the borrowing wisely into productive activities such as what the current government is doing.

That said, Bawumia should stop his Dagati economics as these days even the Kookoase opposition npp MP's are well awake.

Hahaha, the word borrowing is a verb, you cannot invest borrowing.

They have nothing constructive to offer, their stomach is their benchmark after that the rest of Ghanaians can go to hell.
What reckless generation are these? They live their lives by scheming evil and becoming overlord in communities by siphoning from wherever by whatever means they can to keep up their ill gotten fame and bequeath these traits to their children’s children.

Fellow Ghanaians, be aware that “Difficulties” are part of life, so it is for a growing nation like ours. It takes sacrifices to build and not laziness and gluttony to consume and destroy what we have here and now. It is obvious that the gluttonous opposition NPP has nothing to clinch on for their campaign; so they think using “corruption” as a slogan will earn them some moral image.

The question is “Who is more corrupt in Ghana than these Dankwa / Busia folks?”

They were lazy and dull witted with UGCC and Nkrumah came to turn things around to obtain independence and republic for Ghana, an enviable position that has liberated the whole of Africa and other parts of the world. What did these reckless do if they think they have the people of Ghana at heart? The sickness of DANKWA/BUSIA people is that, they don’t believe in themselves; had it not been that they would not have gone for Nkrumah. When Nkrumah was making progress in freeing the country from colonial powers, the dumbness and slow thinkers of these Dankwa/ Busua’s cannot grasped the enormous knowledge and experience of Osagyefo.
When Nkrumah became successful with the struggle these DANKWA / BUSIA people became jealous and bitter and it is this feeling that has degenerated into your current circumstances which continue to trouble this great nation. All arguments from Dankwa -Busia camp aims to bring people down and they will do these no matter what, even if they have to kill they will kill.
They don’t learn nor create; evil dwells in their heart. Like Saul in the Bible, when he saw David’s successes, he became so jealous and plot many schemes to eliminate him. But Alas! You have brought untold curse unto your families and generation for that matter "SIN CLUTCHES AT YOUR DOORS" for taken the whole nation for ransom just for the hate of one man. The man died long ago yet you still fight him and have not defeated him.

Our independence struggle is over, we are Ghanaians lets not live by who gave birth to us but live by what we can use our God given energy to create and bring peace and justice to our fellow being. If the descendants of these Dankwa / Busia parties can see, appreciate and accommodate others views, we all can move this country forward. They need to desist from plagiarising what persist in some countries and learn to create from within (it is not just buying and selling) it is development of human capital.

They took bribe to overthrow Dr.Kwame Nkrumah

They sold our Atomic energy to the Americans.

They are so racist that, they caused the deportation of mass foreign experts and industrialist from the country when Busia took over.

They pulled down all and abandoned all viable economic projects all because Nkrumah started it. “Everything Nkrumah is bad” yet they could not chalked down anything better memorable that has transformed any life in Ghana

Busia took to the presidency with too much talking and did nothing; He initiated policies and executed none of them. Whilst Dankwa descendants are seriously siphoning from state coffers to enrich and entrenched their families and well wishers. Thank God the then military saw all these dishonesty, nepotism, neo-colonialism and indiscipline growing from these arrogant nation reckless and non entities who seeked power and don’t know what to do with it than selling what has been built

Education is nothing to them; for them to get to the top means how much money you can exhibit or show to the public but careless about how they make their monies, they are greedy and enjoy backbiting, destroying, killing and make shameless utterances, bullying, join occult and make use of cannabis; these days cocaine.

Too much Trivialmindedness has engulfed with these so called Dankwa/Busia descendants who have never in their lives said the truth nor demonstrated maturity. They always portray silliness, low self esteemed and endemic mental slavery. What is so worrying is that they don’t mind destroying others because they want power. Attacking and distracting leaders without sound alternative is not only sickening but also portrays immaturity and emptiness of these cohorts. They just want to do or say something to grab unnecessary attention. They have no solution???. if you test their opinion by deep analysis, you always end up by cheap and shallow political biases and unfounded allegations.

They are so narrow minded that they will always dwell on shallow empty propaganda than to think of constructive alternative that will prove their ability as thinkers than “political hip pops” challenging and making empty utterances when silence would have earn them some respect.

It is very unfortunate to have calibre of people who displays nothing than greediness gluttony and cranking attitude towards each other. Even within their party they find it difficult to unite, how would they be able to unite the whole nation? NPP is a truly a joke they have nothing to offer. By their deeds you shall know them.

Ghanaians should not be blinded by these tax looters who only seek their interest by lobbying through their agents who are scattered throughout the country. Their sole interest is to make every regime ungovernable by castigating lies, ugly insults, throwing bombs, killing women, burning markets, lengthy shallow litigations in courts and false alarm blowers. What can they boast of themselves and what have they achieved for Ghana?
They want Ghanaians to be sub-servants to them whilst in their own thinking and mental deliberations; they perpetually remain slaves to neo colonialism.

Have you so soon forgotten how Kuffour brought Gisele Yaazi to Ghana as “special economic advisor” accommodated her in La Palm hotel with seven armed body guards which he later impregnated her with twins?
Were there not economic titans in Ghana at the time Miss Yaazi came in? And what role did she play in making Ghana the heaven Kuffour wanted?

Have you so soon forgotten how Kuffour who has no money to renovate his current residence and it was a farmer friend who sponsored the renovation of the house? Two years down the lane, after twisted the arm of Miss Yaazi by Kuffour`s own promises to her with regard to “hotel wa-wa”, Till today his son can buy hotels bigger than his fathers house. Incredible!!! Where was his son when the father’s house was going down?

Have you also done diligence to who owns Accra mall?
Who now owns Merchant Bank?
What is the source of Addo Kuffour`s income? Who as of now marks the 5th richest person in Africa?

Kuffour travelled more than any President on earth yet what did he bring home?
Kuffour introduced more initiatives (PSI) than any president which one of them survived?
Kuffour`s ministerial appointments was higher than all presidents what were their achievements?
Kuffour`s time in office saw real brutality of innocent and vulnerable people but you offered no defence nor justice for them (Issah Mobilla and Yaa Naa)
Kuffour`s Turn saw over 200 people dying in a stadium which your appointee (Jake Mulato) squandered all donations both foreign and abroad.
“Kick Backs” was the term in your administration and your party chairman then confirms to that.
It is you who has made the presidency so cheap that people like Nkrabea Effah Darteh wants to be president.
Our country became the hub of Cocaine activities. The over spending of these “junkies” is what has lured every Ghanaian today to be rich at all cost.

I find it very sickening when NPP sees nothing wrong with this man who has tainted their party with so much evil and embarrassment in the history our dear nation to walk about unchecked. He is an apology

Some of you are just plian stupid. You refuse to use your brains the minute your NDC is criticised. For your info, Bawumia was able to use the numbers years ago because at that time, the nation was not being run on propaganda even during Jato JJ's time. Bawumia is questioning their credibility because since 2008 he warned that the goods being used by the statistical service to calculate inflation rate was wrong and did not reflect the reality on the ground. He warned that the intrest rates and exchange rates would betray you if you massage the figures, you people refused to listen to wise counsel and see where you have brought the economy.
For all you know, it is the wrong numbers that are causing your party all the problems, it is the wrong numbers that will make NDC come up with wrong policies which makes the economy worse, so let the wise amongst you lot listen.

Thank you Prophet Dr. Bawumia for making us open our eyes on what's really Ghana's economic situation as regards data and statistics provided by gov't. May you receive God's blessings and protection as you continue to inspire Ghanaians. NDC can run but they can't hide. They've messed our economy so badly now they want to cover their faces by cooking up numbers. What a shame!

I think it is high time Dr. Bawumia is told he is not the best Economist in Ghana. he supervised the depreciation of the cedi leading to re denomination in 2007. Or is it another way of saying all die be die or is it just laziness. please, Ghanaians are fed up with the likes of Bawumia whose interest is in throwing mud but would come out with nothing new.

Nico, the gentleman came out and announced that the economy was in a bad state, thereafter, he was chastised, he was insulted, the Ayariga's and co came out that the economy was fine. Then afterwards, the president admitted that the country was going through a "temporal" turbulence. What were you expecting Bawumiah to do at Senchi? After insulting him when he told the whole world the truth. It is high time Ghanaians think as coming from one nation, one people with a common destiny. We should throw our political lenses aside.

If NDC people have some commercial Banks displaying 3.04 to a $ they can show us. But the drop-outs they are blinds them to the facts and they are only good at insulting.

We have problems upon problem, from Axim to Zabzugu and yet instead of using our time to find solutions to our problems we invest this time in insulting others for their views instead of critically analysing them and coming out with suggestions and secondments irrespective of our affiliations to solve our chronic problems. Remember that in every true democratic nation there is a very strong opposition. Only not in ours and this must change and the insults this media must END.

Dr Bawumia's analysis has indeed demonstrated the superiority of the British trained mind over those of the local classroom champions. You see, I don't have a university degree but I can easily see that the figures always churned out by the Ghana Statistical Service are either padded or fake. For instance, have you wondered why an 'Olonka' of maize is always cheaper after the end of the farming season and expensive at the beginning of the farming season? The reverse should have been the case, taking into consideration the water content in both scenarios. Even though maize is sold by volume(bushels) on the international market, the water content is of a constant standard compared to ours. I am currently embarking on a 13 month research with the sole aim of disproving the Ghana Statistical Service to show them that my HND is of more superior quality than the PhD of Dr Philomena Nyarko.

Stop this sycophancy, NDC people and help move this dear country of ours forward. Remember it would come to a time no nation would grant us visas to their countries. Remember Anita Desoso ooohhhh ton.

He knows if he keeps speculating and get others to do same, it will rachet up pressure on the cedi to make it fall because it will too strong for what BOG is doing to remedy the situation. Is a person with Ghana at heart? What he's is doing is nothing but a deliberate shameless tiptoe attack on the Ghanaian cedi so that it falls so that the Government fails. That's their strategy

Bawumia should show leadership and resolve the fight in the party that he want to lead and stop talking fake economics, when his house is on fire - look at his face over there?

Only fools will insult Dr. Bawumiah for revealing lies of the government and its propaganda schemes. What was the price of a bag of cement same season last year? How much does it sell today in Ghana? Oh typical fools, when will you respect yourselves, throw out your ignorance and let the renowned Economist fight the just fight for the numerous Ghanaians who are feeling the pinch of the hardship this government is mercilessly showering on us the ordianry ones.

Doctor Bawumiah, ignore the fools and always stand for the truth in the face of these baseless and unguided accusations. God bless you for fighting a just cause.

You people have no respect for Ghanaians and take us for fools hence the constant lies and propaganda. That crap won't work with the renowned Financial times. They don't do propaganda but only state facts. And you wonder why doner partners don't want anything to do with this lying, deceptive and incompetent Govt.

Bawumia must give us a break. This your analysis will not be made by an S H S Student of Economist let alone a Phd. Holder. Do you think performance of an Economy is just limited to only inflation and exchange rate? you were the Deputy Governor in 2008 and inflation was 40% and the cedi jump from 1 cedi per dollar to 1.70 persewa per dollar coming from the same bank of Ghana and the statistical service does that made your government credible.

And against the euro, it was almost every 3hours until early this week saw some stability and again started to move so fast from 4.8 to the euro on monday to 5.077 today thursday. the question who suffers and who gain when you fake these figures. only incompetence will suffix. in 2012 the cedis against the euro was 2,30 to its above ghc5 what is going on?

Here comes again the expert statistician with his usual litany of incomprehensible statistical data which earned him & his NPP a gigantic zero in their bid to be declared winners of the 2012 presidential election. Mr. Bawumia really lacks the pragmatic approach (with the entire NPP) to rally around them the Ghanaian citizenry. Worse still, NPP's bid for "power" in 2016 is gradually eroding due to their intestinal wranglings. It's so sad!!!

Jealousy is not good. Dr. Bawumia is very intelligent. Call a spade a spade. Read his CV and you would know how many papers he has published in international journals. Thomas, may be besides this forum, what have you ever published in a Ghanaian Newspaper? His analysis of the current situation is so simple that even the jSS leaver would be able to understand it. God bless Dr. Bawumia. We either listen to his good analysis and change for the better or we run him down because of jealousy and useless partisan politics and sink deeper and deeper.

Dr. Bawumia is right on the fixed administrative exchange rate set by the BoG as it will not encourage anyone to save or transact business in GHS. In this situation, the $ will be scarce, its value will automatically appreciate against the GHS, and definitely prices of goods and services will increase. The BoG got it all wrong.
