WE KNOW ONLY TWO NAMES, NANA ADDO & BAWUMIA. NANA'S LEADERSHIP WITH BAWUMIA IS EXCELLENT. NANA IS OUR POLITICAL MESSIAH!! WE WILL PATIENTLY WAIT FOR HIM TO COME AND LIBERATE US FROM OUR ECONOMIC OPPRESSORS.WE CAN'T PUT OUR TRUST IN THESE YOUNG NDC THIEVES (WITH NO WORK RECORD) WHO WANT TO LIVE LIKE KINGS OVERNIGHT, OWNING JETS, BIG MANSIONS, BANKS, ROLLS ROYCE, DATING MODELS ETC. AT THE EXPENSE OF THE POOR. BEING A PRESIDENT REQUIRES THE USE OF BRAIN NOT BRAWN. A PRESIDENT DOES NOT "THROW" PICK AXE!!! WHO CAN DO THE JOB BETTER THAN NANA, AT THIS TIME IN OUR HISTORY, WHERE GREEDY CORRUPT , SHARP TEETH ROTTEN PLANK NDC SMALL BOYS, PARADING AS POLITICIANS, HAVE PLUNDERED OUR RESOURCES TO THE BONE, THAT OUR OIL ECONOMY INHERITED FROM THE GREAT KUFFOUR HAS HAD NO IMPACT ON THE LIVES OF THE ORDINARY CITIZENS OF OUR COUNTRY???? LONG LIVE GHANA!! LONG LIVE NANA ADDO. MORE GREASE TO YOUR ELBOWS!! EVERY THIEF IN GHANA, TODAY, IS SCARED OF BOLD AND MIGHTY NANA ADDO. NANA IS CLEAN !! CLEAN TO THE BONE!

What a rubbish?? Where was this stupid MP Asiamah when it was proposed that Parliament would be refurbished? Why did he wait until the work was carried out just for hi to come out and say it was a waste of Tax Payers' money?? This is sort of criticism for criticism sake and none-sense has to stop some where. He is a real skin pain.

Useless populism. What about ex-gratia Isaac Asiama collected in 2009 what about 2013? What about the whooping G¢50,000.00 he collected as rent allowance.

t is the NPP that never had their priorities right. This idiot is one MP who must criticise anything that the Government does. He craves to be heard all the time, and that means that he's working as an MP. Does Asiama remember the huge amounts of money stolen by the NPP while ruling this country? He and his ilk should thank the late President Atta Mills for sweeping all their wrongdoings under the carpet and wiping their slates clean in the name of reconciliation. They would all have ended in jail. Kwasia like that!

Frank,that idiot never opposed the refurbishment but wants to score a political point to make the leadership looks bad.
The contract was to refurbish the parliament and this has been on going for months but this idiot never complain knowing who was doing it but chose to make a political noise after the project is handed over to them,the contract did not say somebody must provide chairs while another person provides gadgets,the Chinese contractor decided to import the quality furniture from China,that is his business,it would have even cost tax payers more to get some shoddy work done by the so called local artisans.
Do you manufacture those electronics gadgets in Ghana?

As usual these are some projects that notorious NDC looters and thieves can embark upon so that they can loot and steal from our national treasury. Notorious NDC thieves, as usual will inflate the cost of refurbishing parliament more than 1000 percent.

NDC will continue to loot and steal so far as minority parties and Ghanaians allow them to do so. Minority Party is weak. They are sitting down aloof to NDC frenzy looting and stealing. May God help Ghanaians.

James the issue here is 'priority, ' ok? Setting one's priorities straight is a sign of maturity and thoughtfulness. Some of the devices and gadgets installed for members use are alien to them. If you spend your hard earned money to replace your old television set because you needed a flat screen whiles your child is sent away for non payment of fees, that is misplaced priority and for that matter, STUPID. To solidify the said stupidity they spent that money in China whereas spending it locally would have been an investment in disguise.

How do you expect a president to perform if his hands are tied? A president must be given a free hand and supported by the opposition to succeed.

Wait until you hear what the Alan Kyeremanten camp in the NPP had to say about Akufo-Addo, NPP Presidential flagbearer, that Akufo-Addo is incompetent and a monumental failure. How then is someone whose own party mwembers describe him as incompetent and a monumental failure expected to lead Ghana in the right direction? Ghanaians do not need any examples from America to know how to elect their leaders.
Speaking of mid-term elections, unless you're just reading reports, you would have understood that the ruling party in the America often does poorly in mid-term election, but bounces back in the coming general elections.

THIS USELESS, CORRUPTION GOVT HAS NO DEVELOPMENT GOAL AND PRIORITIES. AS SENSIBLE GOVERNMENT SHOULD SPEND THE NATION'S SCARCE RESOURCES IN A DEVELOPMENT AREA THAT WILL YIELD SOCIAL BENEFITS TO GHANAIANS. BUT THAT IS NOT BELONG TO NDC'S AGENDA AND PRIORITIES. ITS AGENDA IS TO INVEST IN USELESS VENTURES/PROJECTS WHERE ITS SYCOPHANTS CAN GET A 20% CUT AND COMMISSION - GARGANTUAN CORRUPTION !! TO FULFILL THE " CREATE, LOOT AND SHARE IDEOLOGY "

It is the NPP that never had their priorities right. This idiot is one MP who must criticise anything that the Government does. He craves to be heard all the time, and that means that he's working as an MP. Does Asiama remember the huge amounts of money stolen by the NPP while ruling this country? He and his ilk should thank the late President Atta Mills for sweeping all their wrongdoings under the carpet and wiping their slates clean in the name of reconciliation. They would all have ended in jail. Kwasia like that!

Where was this idiot when Kuffour imported all the Ghana@50 paraphernalia from China when at least three textile firms were laying off workers? As if this wasn't enough, he went on the BBC to defend his warpish, myopic, selfish, corrupt and nation wrecking policy of not protecting local industries the result of some of which the nation is struggling today.
The NDC may have its own problems but comparatively, it has done better than Kuffour is supporting local industries.

Speak for yourself and not the black race. Sorry if you feel your capabilities are not to the level where you can think and solve your problems. The black race is not lower than any other race. Problem is, Ghana has been engulfed by corruption and ineptitude since going through various administrations, civil and military, that took Ghana on a path of retrogression, and the slide has continues. People in Ghana as elsewhere are capable of thinking and solving their problems; it's just that corruption, extreme greed, and sad to say, a loss of many of its sons and daughters to foreign lands in search of greener pastures, have greatly contributed to a weakening of its economic, educational, and social systems.
