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.

Your government has money to build more schools, but has no money to sustain the school feeding project! You see, you think exactly like your president and his ministers, and that's the problem of this nation!

@BBC NEWS: I wonder how this of ur President thinks, he using the school building as scapegoat to influence Ghanaians.Oboy Mahama:-"U can fool some people sometimes but u can not fool all the people
all the time" Ghanaians are still facing problem of basic needs, like water, power, and even their daily bread at a point that,average ghanaian is not sure what he or she is going to eat the next day of his or her life. Now u are coming and tell me that u are building schools as it was promised.
Infact,its hard for me to understands how these people thinks of their own fellow human beings, but for me I do see them as lack of wisdom.

17.5% increase in Petroleum prices?. What kind of people are we, the Finance Minister and infact all Ministers and their deputies draw free fuel and are saying the rest of us should pay what? and we are quiet. If they cannot think of any other way of raising revenue such as ensuring that the informal sector is assessed and brought to the tax net, but just increase tax day in day out, then why are they paid by our taxes. Ghanaians let us go the Nigerian way-let us demonstrate and stay in the house for one week then the Finance Minister will know that we are not stupid breed of species. If we don't act now when are we going to act. Imani I am waiting to join the demo if you organise it. Imani do so under the same speed this proposal is being handled

The meddlers have since sent their kids out of the country to go through the same system they said was not go enough for the rest of the citizens.

We all know where this money will go. Into the dirty filthy pockets of these 'slow' politicians who cannot write and speak simple English. Clowns who have ascended to political power and do not understand SQUAT about policy or management. I believe the time has come for Ghanaians to physically assault some of these CROOKS who patrol our street as politicians, because at the end of it all, we Ghanaians are going to pay for these loans! Who in his/her right senses will sit idly by for others to take their money???

This has been trailed all throughout the year. Why do the media report verbatim whatever government put out without subjecting it to some scrutiny?

It was announced some 4 months or so ago that government had secured some loan from the World Bank of $156m to upgrade some schools and to build some new schools. This is when the famous sanitary pad story broke. What is therefore new about this recirculated story?

At first, ndc scoffed at Akuffo Addo when he put this in his manifesto for NPP; saying it was impossible. Then you informed Ghanaians free education was possible; then you promised 200 secondary schools at a time when you are not able to pay the few teachers you have; now it is down to 50, which cannot be verified except your propaganda. So what are we to believe? THE LIES CONTINUES

Government ministers and communicators in and out of parliament make claims, most of them without foundation, facts or figures to back them up and media people do not take them to task by interrogating them (like Kwaku Baako does). They just listen to the crap claims and let them get away with it.

This smacks of poor journalism; inability or unwillingness to question them to substantiate any claims they make on radio or tv. What a disservice to the nation GHANA MEDIA
