They are indiscipline and cowards. What they do best is to attack civilians and beat their wives.
A useless bunch of pansies!!
The fact that one or two miscreants in the army misbehave is not grounds enough to stave the whole Ghana Army of the needed funds. These are obvious signs of NDC misrule. Don't cover it up with the stupidity of a handful of s ...

John Mahama must not extend his stupidity to our armed forces. The president is enjoined by the constitution to maintain a credible fighting force to safeguard the territorial integrity of Ghana and which also serves as a cre ...

@EFO KOKU. I dont know we still hv animal llike u in our country.
In my opinion, Starving the armed forces of some basic amenities may lead to a dangerous occurance. The army personnels have been serving at United Nations crisis areas for quite sometime now, and the foreign earned money com ...

The Ghana army is one of the most professional armed forces on the continent of Africa, if not the entire world. The job is tough but they always deliver. Lets give them the tools and equipment they need to perform their duti ...

HOPEFULLY THE ARMY WILL FORCE NDC FROM OFFICE..WHEN THEY HAVE TO DEAL WITH ALL SAME BULLSHIT THE CITIZENS DO...AS LONG AS THE GET THE SPOILS OF WAR THEY WILL SUPPORT GOV TO THE BLOODY END!
stop the loot and share.
The earlier a solution is found to the pending issue, I think the better.Starving the army of basic amenities can be dangerous.
No medicine at the hospitals, No electricity(dumsor), No money for the Army, No money for teachers, No money for anything!!!Yet Ghana is an Oil-producing country...I don't understand this picture...Yet you wanna pay a soccer ...

this why i complain a lot about thr cedi fall. weak currency makes revenue collected valueless, army equipment is sold in dollers. weak cedi cant buy. i think we should build the purchesing power of the cedi.
your correct in your question...if all the money ndc has stolen or borrowed against and stolen was added back to treasury, they would be some money to pay bills
THE SOLDIERS ARE ALSO GHANAIANS. NOW, WE SHALL WAIT AND SEE THE NEXT LINE OF ACTION BY THE GOVT. YOU ARE NOT LISTENING TO THE STRIKING WORKERS, SO LET US ALL WATCH HOW THEY RESPOND TO THE NEEDS OF THE ARMY.
ILLEGAL SCALE ADJUSTMENT KILLING THE INTEREST OF COCOA FARMERS. LBCs TO BLAME . USING PURCHASING CLERKS AS TOOLS TO PERPETRATE EVIL AGENDA. FARMERS SUFFERING
If the govt can me give me the contract I will be able to solve this. But I don't belong to any party and I hate the politicians. Guess what, if you can do anything better for the country and you are not part of the the party ...

I wonder what the officers at 3BN told the minister in the face of the gargantuan corruption by the NDC. The NDC has enough money to build a $20 million headquarters and the Minister goes to inspect the ghettos in the barrack ...

But Dumb Mahama is too thick-headed to understand the import of Otabil's wise words.In other words,dumb Mahama is not up to the task and must do the honourable thing by stepping down and save himself from total disgrace.
They've been sitting on their asses while Ghana's riches are being "divied up' by a corrupt thieving group of politicians.
They thought they were immuned to or shielded from the economic hardships the civilian population w ...

let the army go and get the money Woyome owes, then they can use it for their 'urgent needs'. As for civilians they can all go burn the sea; govt will get to their urgent needs in the coming election year.
Money is released very quickly to woyome because of create, loot, and share by the likes of betty mould, barton oduro & ndc.
Misplaced priority by Gen.Smith when he was the Minister for Defence.He rather bought Aircrfts against Armed robbers and for floods and left the Barracks in a delapitated state.An Engineer General,Minister without Dupety .
why index import duties in dollers? wont that put presure on the cedi?? wont that make the goods expensive to the very peoples govt wants to make comfotable? weak currency courses poverty,curruption n civil unrest.
do you see oil on world market priced in euro or british pounds?????
Another minister not speaking sense. What kind of govt will go half way in governing a country, and say his army need more funding.
Shameless some of these ministers are, it will this very government who budget for the army ...
