All we saw in their eight years in office was day light robbery of properties and owning them at all cost. They did it with no shame, penetrated into state reserve lands and forcefully paid peanut for them.
Siphoning from state account and redenominated the currency with impunity. They portrayed glare demonstration of arrogant and abuse of power. It is unbelievable how their numerous presidential initiatives, ended up in “MATREKO WO” island. They signed dubious contracts that have left us with paying judgement debts today.

NB: the sale of Ghana Airways and its properties abroad, Ghana Telecom, the oil Rig and Ashanti Gold Fields,….These are the enemies, demons and very evil who came to kill steal and destroy. Kuffour did not construct any road in Accra yet he managed to change and rename what his predecessors have done to create the impression that he is working.

From their birth they were thought to backbite, destroy, kill and make shameless utterances, bully, join occult and make use of cannabis.
If you are discern citizen, I will entreat you sit up and think, get knowledge and don’t sell your conscience to these reckless generation who don’t care about Ghana than to seek their self interest. Prof. Mills tried to heal and rejuvenate this nation. He was not spared with the most insult ever known in history. Prof was truthful to his words, that, he will not victimise anyone but would be a president for all Ghanaians. He believed in building Ghana afresh after their spoil but they won’t allow him.

This is what these guys stand and live for “If it’s not them then it’s nobody” What a callous and insensitive generation these are?
Wise up Ghanaians else your generation will suffer more than you are going through now. Begin to think and be creative. Government will only create favourable environment but it is up you to take advantage by your creations. No one can better your life than you. Think of what you can do today; for tomorrow may never be yours.

Were you in Ghana from 2001 to 2008 ? What did we see ? CORRUPTION, THIEVERY, ROBBERY, NEPOTISM, ARROGANCE AND ALL THE VICES GALORE. NPP has nothing to offer. They are super thieves and are crying wolf because they don't have the opportunity to steal now. Once you disagree with them, then you are not a Ghanaian. Even though they are in the minority they still claim to be speaking for Ghanaians and the majority side probably speaking for "flying saucers" or non-ghanaians i guess.

Ama, you are one of the people the NDC deceives. Who told you the opposition are in the minority. Don't be deceived. Just let those in charge to play it fair and you would know which is in the minority. Do you know that the votes total number of votes of the minority in paliament outnumber the supposed mijority in paliament. If all these people had voted for their candidate for president the opposition would have won. These are some of the readons why some of us feel that fairness has been thrown to the dogs. With the situation right now peoples eyes are now opened and nobody can take them for a ride. So don't bluff.

Ras Bo @ London, you have always been painting Kufour's Govt as demonic as compared with the present Govt. You don't live in Ghana and IT don't think you come into contact with those who live there or follow this govt critically. I would have loved you to do proper assessment between the two govts ( Kuffour and Atta Mills/Mahama ). There you would know which one is demonic. Which govt has been killing Ghanaians. Be honest with yourself and compare the two. Which govt has aided his people in stealing money openly. Look at how gold was openly stolen. Are you aware of how dubious contract are sighed. Look at young guys who have no job experience manning sensitive positions and messing up. They are grabbing money and proprperties herr and there. You are all pretending that you have not seen. Look at the hardshippeople are going through. The middle class in Ghana have realized the harm this govt has done to the govt. Don't you know the govt is not honest. That alone disqualify them from forming a govt. You must rather think twice.

We said it, the tier-two pension funds of Ghanaian workers is not there. It has suffered under a barrage of looting.
Ghanaian workers should be very resolute, and ensure the looted funds are returned and transferred as prescribed by law.
Ghanaians who are themselves workers and who rely on your support, are solidly behind you, to make sure the looted funds are returned and transferred as prescribed by the law.
As it is, Labour should just not attend any meeting, and keep the strike going, as and when the looted funds are returned, and the Mahama NDC gov't is ready to transfer it, Labour goes and sign the necessary paperwork.
At this rate, going to any meeting is fruitless, because the tier-two pension funds has been looted and it is not there.

The most unfortunate aspect of the strike is that it is most targeted at the rural poor who have no choices but to visit public hospitals and sent their children to public schools. Those striking leaders in the cities have their children in private schools who are busy studying and will attend private health facilities when they are sick...Indeed the social gap will continue to widen with the poor and deprived communities suffering the most at the expense of our elite leaders in their shrivel chairs...I say a prayer and shed a tear for the under privileged poor whose plight we never appreciate.

When people refuse to open their eyes when voting, they end up electing thieves and vagabonds. We now have them in power. I wish Ogyakromians will put on their eye glasses and their thinking caps when next they enter the booths. A team B group of Ministers appointed by a chief vagabond whose interest is just to loot and preserve what comes in his possession in foreign banks and institutions. The rest are looting to ensure they make $1M before they think of retiring. God have Mercy on our Homeland Ghana.

The government must comply with the law and stop all the nonsense. What proposals are they talking about. The law categorically states that the workers shall determine who manages the tier 2 pension . It's certainly not the government so why all this wahala. The level of greed will shame a pig. There should be no forgiveness. They should be given a deserving punishment when the time comes.
