We are under economic shackles all because of NDC incompetent and corrupt government. We had eight years of NPP government and times were certainly better for us than we have found ourselves in under the six years of GYEEDA,SUBAH,SADA,NSS and least of all Woyome stealling from us a whopping fifty one million.
The NDC and its head corruptible Mahama must give way to the NPP.
At least if I am poor but the sacrifice is giving all children in Ghana some free education then my sacrifice is worth it.
We have nothing to call home and tell mama about in the sad state of Ghana economy. Give us a break Mr.Mahama and your incompetent NDC.

Yes Pastor you have hit the nail right on the head, leadership is not by force. You either enforce the law whether it will affect your party member or relative or friend. If you are not the type who can enforce the law that way then don't come and waste our time as a leader. We want a leader who has shown that he is not corrupt and has demonstrated that he can make the law work or deal with corrupt people example is how Nana aAddo made sure that whether Tsatsu was at Church or not the law must work so Tsatsu was chased up to the Church because being the AG then he was serious with what he was doing.

The Rule Of Law is Foreign to Africans.
We talk DEMCRACY,but we don't really know what Rule Of Law is.
Our culture and way of life pisses on it,
In law abiding societies,people even pick up after their dogs(pupu) when they take them out for a walk or face a fine of $250.00.
People pay $ 75 dollars for jay walking on red lights,
Drivers pay 175 dollars if the fail to stop for pedestrians at a zebra crossing.,
....and pay speeding tickets quietly in the mail(and not say a word to the Police opfficer).

BUT NOT IN GHANA.THE RULE OF LAW SEEMS UNAFRICAN TO US....and until we
learn something about Nation Building,
we will continue to live in the SWAMP.

INDEED,THE BEAUTYFUL ONE'S ARE NOT YET BORN.....WHEN WOULD SOME BE BORN TO RESPECT THE RULE OF LAW.?

My brother this is a humble request from me personally to you. First of all i don't see what the man of God said to warrant insults from you. Secondly, you did not appoint him to be a preacher of the gospel. If therefore there is anyone to judge him it must the one who called him to do his work GOD. If you cannot insult your father or your elder brother why insult the pastor. Leave his deeds or vices to God to judge because he sees all things in heaven,on earth and in hell. It is appointed unto man to die once and after death judgement. If you don't know Jesus you are already condemned to Hell. take it from me. Moreso, if you do then insults will not come out from you because every man will be judged according to every word that you speak

Otabil is perfectly right, Mahama is
highly corrupt, thief, dishonest, brigand and the highest order of incompetent, Mahama should resign or
should force him to fuck off as a President, he is a hopeless and senseless Cow hence he Mahama is and his NDC are all corrupt.

who is only fabricating a story against a credible politician who has
vision to help build our nation to

You are just an idiot, blood thirst idiot, the majority people of this country did not vote for Mahama he robbed the conscience of the majority
people of this nation through influence some people with money to
call himself a winner of the General election, it is of this nature, Mahama
cannot and has no credible do administer the nation. ANIMAL like you

Many a times, when they steal the nation's money, they enjoy it freely after they have been kicked out of power. That trend must end with these group of thieves. When anyone is suspected of acquiring his/her wealth illegally and nothing is done about it by the sitting government, We the masses whose wealth has been stolen will do what the law says, just like in Burkina Faso. That is the only way thievery can end in our country.

I have been saying this since Kufuor's administration. I urged Atta Mills to punish corruption as Kufuor failed to do so, but Atta did nothing. Corruption has now gotten worse. And why wouldn't it get worse? President Mahama has also decided not to punish corruption. Without any fear of punishment, officials will continue to dip their hands and steal millions. It is far easier than to work hard and save for many years. Mr. President, consider it your God-given duty to punish corruption. And consider it a grave SIN to allow people to steal without being punished. Yes, it is a great sin!

Dr Otabil don't leave behind the Bible and turn into a Politician. "The one who thinks he standing should be careful he don't fall down". Why all these noise won't you guys allow the government to take right steps to govern the country? Everybody knows the motive of NPP. It is clear, it started from the election through the court to demonstrations, to date. And Ghanaians are not fools. Unfortunately, most of them are in positions of trust and they are the same people sabotaging government programs. Come 2016, it would be wailing and tears shedding. What is that? In an unlikely situation if NPP comes to power and begins the corrupt practices. soldiers will overthrow them. that is the challenge to them.

I agree with Otabil Mensah. The buck starts from the top. If everything goes well he takes the credit for that. If it goes wrong he should be bold to accept failure.
As a president, he should know the minister who is responsible for the implementation of all the laws in Ghana. Then from the minister to the next in line right up to the independent person on the street. If the laws do not discriminicate against the rich, poor, powerful, or the weak, then that is when i think ghana would ever see the light for our next generation.

Mensa Otabil is surely a fake pastor. He hides under a bogus church , which is corrupt business to enjoy tax exemptions and enrich himself. Otabll knows nothing , he is disturbed and in deep mental agony since GHANAIANS rejected the party and government he supported and benefited greatly from. All know the true skin of this impostor , wolf in the skin of sheep. Soon his criminal empire shall fall flat , it has started tumbling and going down towards the drain. His college admitted unqualified candidates , forcing them to pay huge sums of monies in the process and under false pretences. That they would undergo special extra remedial tuition and preparations to enable them upgrade their basic entrance qualifications. One member at least died , suspended on a rope by the neck from a point in the roof inside his TEMPLE , in ACCRA. What happened was that the dead man was disappointed in unkind PASTOR OTABIL. Mensa refused to comfort him in distress. The distressed member of his so called church just died in that ugly manner. Such law breaker , unkind and wicked Otabil has nothing good , sane and sound moral to offer anyone. His corruption is evident in his prostitution with political leaders of Ghana and dubious characters to create sham entities for making money.

In the case of Ghana and other Afrcan countries it is mostly the guardians of the law that perpertrate the corruption as you see in this highly corrupt NDC govt. The NDC govt has been so successful at it because they have put inplace a system that has no check and balances. It is their party that is in power, they hand out jobs to party members irrespective of qualification,and fail to prosecute party members caught in the cycle of corruption for fear of the people knowing that the party has corrupt members. Look at how Rawlings consficated assets and murdered people for a fraction of the crime that this NDC govt is wreaking on the people. A legacy of lairs, corruption, deceit and murder poprogated in the mantra of "create loot and share" by the NDC, is the legacy of Rawlings and his NDC. And to boot he proclaimed "probity and accountability". Today we recognise that, this premise was "hollow" and
still hollow today. J J Rawlings and his murderous corruptible band of thieves have held Ghana in political and economic bondage for close to 35 yrs and we as a nation and as a people have nothing to show for it. Today, under the reins of the Schematic NDC, the country is so much laden with debt of historical proportions that nothing gets done.Rawlings how are you going to write your "epitaph" A murderous nation wrecker that you and you NDc are.

I agree with Rev. Otabil's assertion that in Ghana laws do not bite. I agree that if disobeying the law means that you will be punished, people will obey the laws and corruption will decrease as a result. If the government is to make laws bite there is a need for transparency and accountability. Just, focused leaders would make the laws bite and people would respect them. I think the president has a great responsibility. He should tackle the pressing issues and use the money for priorities. If he is doing good he should continue to do it, not affected by what others think. That is what Otabil means by leadership is not by force. It is all about leading by example, and inspiring others to do the right thing even when no one is watching
