Bad leadership in Ghana was started by Nkrumah. In fact all our problems started with him. Nkrumah was a dictator and very ambitious. He introduced one party rule in Ghana and made himself life president. He was neither caring, compassionate, visionary, smart nor politically savvy. Most of the things he took credit for had been started by the British, our colonial masters. For instance Tema Motorway was on the drawing board when he took over and Akosombo Dam was not his brainchild. KNUST was established by Asantehene and the British. Surprisingly, most of the things he takes credit for were never initiated by him
Independence, for instance, was sought for by many and achieved under the aegis and cunningness of Kofi Nwiah, trickster and schemer extraordinaire. Well, all along I have been asking how and under what circumstances "Francis Kofi Nwiah" was able to change his name to "Kwame Nkrumah". I know that it is permissible for anybody to change his name anytime he or she wishes but it is strange and beyond comprehension for one to change his birthday from Friday to Saturday ie from Kofi to Kwame. This is what makes me suspicious of Kofi Nwiah or Kwame Nkrumah. He claimed that his date of birth was 21st September 1909. This day according to the 20th century Calendar was a Tuesday!!! So was Nkrumah born on a Tuesday, a Friday or a Saturday? We must find out what he was up to with all these very strange findings. He was indeed cunning and only preyed on the emotions of the Ghanaian masses. It was my wish that president Mills would set up a committee to investigate before declaring Nkrumah's "unknown" birthday a holiday.
When he took over we had trade surplus running into millions of Pound Sterling but when he was forced out we had a trade deficit of several million pounds sterling!! This was the result of bad governance. He should have been overthrown earlier than 1966. We all saw good governance under K4. To me K4 is the best president Ghana has ever had. Kuffour is the greatest. We thank Kotoka and Afrifa for stoping the dictator in his tracks. Ayekoo Kotoka and Afrifa. Kotoka AirPort should never be renamed.

We must compare Ghana's development to other nations who attained independence around the same period as us. Ghana can not compare itself to itself and feel happy about itself! If this were a marathon, then Ghana is still crawling. No factories, road infrastructure is poor, rail is poor, airline is poor,.drainage is poor, malaria eradication attempts is poor,.Adum a dum dum b3 gyae ndcfo is poor, we import chemically induced foods like poultry etc. Wehave totally failed in setting the standard as the gateway of africa. It's a shame..if other african nations look at Ghana as a role model. Then you might as well put a fork in it

Good Boy! All the Chairmen, Heads of State, Prime Ministers, Presidents after Nkrumah put together (excepting, may be, Dr Busia and Dr Hilla Limann who were virtually given no chances) have not made any strides in Ghana's development to rival Nkrumah's efforts and vision of the '60s. So, how did Kufour even get the nerves to rebut Mugabe's truthful assertion. All the latter day Presidents, both the living and the dead, should bow down their heads in shame.

AUTHOR: SEE BELOW----------------------------
It would be recalled that before Election 2000, the Rawlings's P/NDC had ruled Ghana for 19 solid years. This era, as we all know, was marked by human rights abuses, tribalism, corruption, economic hardship, cash and carry system, and more seriously, serial killings of women.
What then did President John Agyekum Kufuor and his NPP do with the power given him between 2001 and 2009? This write-up seeks to find the answer under social infrastructure, policies & programmes, and good governance.
ON SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE • Kufuor's tenure witnessed the construction of two new sports stadia at Essipong and Tamale; the rehabilitation of both Accra and Kumasi sports stadia, and another sports complex in Cape Coast.
• Under Kufuor, a new Presidential Palace was built to house the president and his family; the Accra-Tema commuter railway line was constructed, and the Keta Sea Defence wall was built to protect the people of Keta.
• A $622m loan was secured for the construction of the Bui Dam & Bui City Project; the Boankra Inland Port was started (now abandoned); major feeder and trunk roads (Accra-Kumasi-Aflao-Kasoa-Cape Coast, Aburi), several by-passes in Accra and Kumasi including the Sofoline and Asafo interchange, and George Walker Bush 14km High Way were all constructed.
• The Peduase Lodge, which had been abandoned was restored; several boreholes were drilled to end the perennial water problems in Cape Coast and Tamale; the Aboadze Thermal Plant was expanded; the Kofi Annan ICT Centre for Excellence, and state-of-the art wood village at Sokoban in Kumasi for Anloga carpenters were all built.
• Another legacy of Kufuor is the construction of the Accident and Emergency Centre with a landing base at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH). This has saved several precious lives.
• Besides, 56 existing senior high schools were upgraded as Model Schools; two institutions (University of Education, Winneba, and University of Mines & Technology) were given autonomy to run as public universities, UDS had Campuses at Wa and Bolgatanga, 21 new senior high schools, 1,334 new JHS blocks, 1,331 primary schools, and 5,164 pre-schools were built.
• Also, over 5,000 affordable housing units at various parts of the country were built. A cocoa processing plant was built in Kumasi. The West African Gas Pipe Line was nearly completed. There was expansion of the road network from 39,000 km of accessible roads to 65,000 km by 2008.
• The Ghana @ 50 ‘legacy’ projects like recreational parks, renovation of public buildings, and historical monuments across all the 10 regions and their district capitals were built. The government also built 14 fishing harbours in our fishing communities.
ON POLICIES & PROGRAMMES • The Kufuor government introduced free basic education through the capitation grant (fee- free). There was school feeding programme where pupils from some selected public basic schools were given one hot meal a day.
• The National Health Insurance Scheme was introduced to replace the cash and carry system and make health care affordable. There was also the introduction of free maternal care to reduce child mortality.
• The government frequently released brand new buses to GPRTU, and introduced the metro mass transit, replaced the Ghana Airways with Ghana International Airlines (all meant to improve the transportation system.
• The NPP introduced the Northern Development Fund with a US$25m seed fund to reduce the North-South poverty gap; free bus ride for school kids, brought Zoom Lion Company Limited to rid our cities of filth, created Youth Fund with a $50m seed money and instituted the National Youth Employment Programme, which rolled out seven programmes including community police, teaching assistance, health care, agric extension, etc to reduce the country’s high unemployment.
• Kufuor also introduced the mass cocoa spraying exercise, frequently increased the producer price of cocoa; subsidised fertilizer, and made prompt payment of bonuses to cocoa farmers.
• In his quest to mechanise agriculture, the Kufuor government imported 3,331 brand new tractors, but unfortunately, Mahama Ayariga, and Alban Bagbin used their positions in government to buy some at only GHC1,000.
• The annual cocoa yield increased from 350 metric tonnes in 2000 to 750 metric tonnes in 2006 with an income of US$1bn to the economy. By 2010, Ghana had hit 1m cocoa production. This feat alone moved Ghana from the 4th position to the 2nd position in terms of the world’s leading producers of the product.
• The size of the Ghana's economy quadrupled from US$3.9m in 2008 to US$16.3m in 2008, thus ending the year with GDP growth rate of 8.4%.
• Whilst inflation was reduced from 40% in 2000 to 9.8% in 2006 (single digit) and later 18% in 2008, interest rate fell from 50% to 25% during the period under consideration. The daily minimum wage was increased from 42Gp (4,200 old cedis) in 2000 to GHC2.25 (22,500 old cedis) in 2009.
• A New Education Reform was put in place in 2007 with special emphasis on Maths, Science, Vocational and ICT. Kindergarten education officially became part of our basic education system.
• The admission of JHS graduates into SHS was computerised to reduce corruption and hassle of parents; there was Baah-Wiredu Laptop project aimed at giving one laptop to every school child.
• All the 38 Teacher Training Colleges were upgraded into tertiary status (Colleges of Education); Distance education programme was introduced for teachers and workers.
• The government also introduced Untrained Teacher Education Programme for Pupil Teachers to become trained teachers, Access Course to Teacher Training Colleges for SHS graduates who could not do well in Maths and English. The purpose was to upgrade the knowledge of the teacher, beef up the teacher population, and subsequently help to address the falling educational standards in the country.
• Private universities sprung from 4 to over 50, whilst existing infrastructure in the public universities and other public tertiary institutions were expanded through the GETFund.
• The SSNIT Loan Scheme was restructured for students to take more loans. Plans were far advanced to start not only Single Spine Salary Structure for public sector workers, but also a new 3-tier pension scheme for both private and public sector workers.
ON GOOD GOVERNANCE • His Excellency, President J. A. Kufuor tolerated all shades of opinion and verbal abused from ‘Dr.’ Asemfoforo, an NDC paid serial caller, and J. J. Rawlings, who at one time referred to the then sitting President as ‘Ataa Ayi’ - a notorious armed robber.
• Ghanaians witnessed the National Reconciliation; the reburial of three former heads of state namely; Okatakyie Afrifa, Gen. I.K. Acheampong and Gen. F.W.K Akufo and five senior military officers, who were executed in 1979 by J. J. Rawlings.
• In addition, over 100 assets of noble and hard working citizens seized by J.J. Rawlings were deconfiscated to their owners.
• The criminal libel and seditious laws which had provided 10 years’ maximum imprisonment for offenders was repealed. The People’s Assembly concept which made it possible for Ghanaians to interact with the President and his Ministers on yearly basis was instituted.
• There was all-inclusive governance with the likes of Mallam Issah (PNC), Dr. Paa Nduom, Prof. Badu Akosah, Prof. Hagan - all CPP leading members, working under the NPP administration. Kufuor also facilitated the appointments of Dr. Ibn Chambas as the Secretary General of ECOWAS, and Ekwow Spio-Garbrah as Chief Executive Officer of CTO.
• Kufuor created 60 additional districts and raised some of them to municipal & metropolitan status to facilitate local governance. The District Assembly Common Fund was increased from 5% to 7.5%.
• There was a plethora of FM Radio stations, regular media encounters with the President, broadcasting of news in the major local dialects on the Ghana Television (GTV), which hitherto had been in English and Akan.
• The Kufuor government passed the Representation of the People Amendment act (ROPAA) into law to enfranchise Ghanaians in the diaspora, though Afari Gyan failed to make it operational.
• Kufuor should also be commended for the expansion of mobile phone network across the length and breadth of the country as he removed tariffs on mobile phone importation.
• Kufuor created a Ministry for Public Sector Reform with the view to developing a new and positive mindset for public sector workers; Ministry of Women and Children’s Affairs to empower women and improve their lot; and the Ministry of Chieftaincy Affairs to tap the rich expertise of our noble traditional leaders.
• Also, June 4 and the 31st December were removed from the statute books as public holidays. The 64th Infantry Regiment were disbanded to other units to ensure discipline in the Armed Forces.
• Kufuor featured regularly at all G-8 Summits. His excellent diplomatic relations with world leaders enabled Ghana not only to attract attention and investment worldwide, but also he was unanimously elected to chair both the African Union (AU) and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). Under his leadership, Ghana had the opportunity to assume the rotational presidency of the UN Security Council.
• President Kufuor also won several international awards including the Chatham House Prize Award in 2008 as a result of peace and economic growth which characterised his two terms in office. No wonder he was given a rousing welcome by Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II of England.
• Again, President Kufuor took a leading role in mediating in regional conflicts including those in Liberia, La Cote D’Ivoire, Kenya, Sudan, and Zimbabwe.
• As a true democrat, he was even criticised by his own party members and sympathisers for not hanging onto power before the Tain by-elections when the NPP’s Presidential Candidate, Nana Akufo-Addo was leading in the 2008 Presidential elections.
• Kufuor is on record as the only President who left office in the peaceful manner in which he entered it. This is indeed a lasting legacy because all his predecessors were either overthrown by the military or metamorphosed themselves into civilian presidents.
• Kufuor introduced the Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty (LEAP) programme, where the aged and other vulnerable people in Ghana were paid monthly allowances of between 8 and 15 Ghana cedis.
• Under President Kufuor's leadership, Ghana became the first sub-Saharan African country to cut in half the proportion of its people who suffer from hunger. He and LUIZ DA SILVA of Brazil jointly received the 2011 World Food Prize.
• He introduced micro finance loans to help small and medium-scale businesses, the Export Development Fund (EDIF), the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) which makes it possible for local producers to access the US market, as well as, the Ghana Poverty Reduction Programmes I & II were all aimed at improving the lot of Ghanaians.
• The Kufuor-led NPP administration purchased VALCO from the Americans at a cosmic sum of US$20m.
• On corruption, a minister of state under his administration was charged for wilfully causing financial loss to the state and together with other members of the previous government, was sentenced to a prison term.
• Ghana was the first country in Africa to submit herself to the African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM). It would also interest readers to note that for the first time in 50 years, Ghana under the leadership of Kufuor earned a respectable B+ rating on the international financial scene in 2006 and this indeed, facilitated the country’s successful bid to access over US$ 750m from the Eurobond market.
• The passage of the Public Procurement Act, Financial Administration Act, Internal Audit Agency Act, which made the agency exceed its revenue target every year, the Office of Accountability Act, the Whistle Blowers Act, the importation of new police uniforms and over 1000 police vehicles to combat crime, the Right to Information bill, the establishment of Fast Track High Courts, the strengthening of state institutions like the SFO, CHRAJ, among others, were all geared towards the eradication of this social evil in the Ghanaian society.
• Last but not the least, Ghana under Kufuor’s reign became the largest recipient of Millennium Challenge Account funds of US$547m to combat poverty in Ghana. The bilateral and multilateral debt cancellations as a result of Ghana joining the Heavily Indebted and Poor Countries (HIPC) initiative and the UN's and World Bank’s lucrative jobs for His Excellency, J. A. Kufuor even before the 2008 general elections make him stand tall among his contemporaries. He made Ghana, an oil producing country as oil was struck in commercial quantities in 2010.
How could the excellent record enumerated above be a factor to the NPP's electoral defeat? I leave it for the judgement of the Ghanaian voter in 2016.
God bless Ghana! God bless the NPP!! God bless Kufuor!!!

Please, do not blame Mugabe rather, the blame should go to Nkrumah. Why? When Nkrumah felt that he is above every Ghanaian, he gave free education to Mugabe and co at our expenses and what benefit did we get from that? He also supported freedom fighters etc all at our expenses. If he did not educate Mugabe, where will that guy be? Instead of him thanking Ghanaians for their good gesture, he is rather insulting us due to the foolishness of Nkrumah.
Currently, all the problems facing was the result of Nkrumah abysmal rule. Why was he so interested to unite African at a time when some people on the continent are too "raw" to understand what he was doing? Tweakai.

What can Ghana show for being "fantastically improved"?.. massive thievery and corruption out of this world?
Whilst Mugabe might not have been the right messenger because of who he is, the message was as potent and credible as a live ammo.
So stop burying your heads in your butts like the proverbial ostrich and look around you.. you will see what that old despotic leader is talking about, myopic fools.
That's the problem with us Ghanaians..we hate constructive criticism.
Our country has been steered up the creek without a paddle by leaders with no foresight and good planning and because we suffer from "bird-brain" syndrome like the ostrich, we keep burying our heads deeper in the sand like no 'storm' has or is gathering around us.
Let's be real and see things for what they really are, instead of trying cover things up.!!!

Mugabe was able to pull down shanty towns and rebuilt them. Even the party's building was pulled down according to Pastor Otabil.
Ghanaians truly have bird's brain, because it was only two weeks ago when Otabil made that statement which they could have referenced to to see that Mugabe got more balls than our leaders who could not pull down Sodom and Gomora, a slum in the center of Accra.

President Mugabe was right in his assesion of Ghana's development since 1960s. After Osagyefo's overthrow which of the successive military regimes that followed did any developments other than plunder the country's coffer to enrich themselves? And after that the civilian governments that followed were more corrupt than their military predecessors. The worse among them were JJ Rawlings and John Kufour.

He should thank Ghana for using her resources to help him fight his liberation war from white rule. Some of Ghana's money was used to help Zimbabwe. Ungrateful person!

I just don't blame this guy for praising his boss on his comments about Mugabe's utterance. Why was Kufuor so quick to make comments on the issue? In my opinion, it has something to do with his guilty conscience. What on earth did Kufuor's administration achieve in terms of development for the nation? Nothing worth mentioning. Nkrumah took just 5years to Build Akosombo, Tema Harbour, Tema Fishing Harbour and Cold Storage, Tema Shipyard, GHAIP Tema, Ghana Alluminium Factory, Akasanoma Assemble Plant, Tema Steel Works, Tema Paint Factory, Tema New Township and Metropolitan City, PPI with Lever Brothers-Tema, Ghana Textiles Manufacturing Company-Tema, Tema Textiles, Ghana Textile Printing , State Construction Corporation, Public Works Department, Kaiser Alluminium Works-Tema, and over 400 manufacturing Companies within the regions.

Mugabe was right. Fifty years on what meaningful development has been added to the first eight years after independence? If anything, it is not commensurate to the years after mid 60's.

Jesus Christ of NASARETH. What did K4 achieved in terms of high structural development? The shoddy T-Quarshie interchange? Thank you Pres. Mugabe your comment on Ghana has really put to shame the short comings and incompetence of later Ghanaian heads of state after Osagyefo your mentor. and the worse of them is K4 whose is feeling the pintch of total guilty. Mugabe did not mean that nothing has move in the country since the 60's, but that Ghana is really crawling less than a tortoise pace.

Ghana existed before Kufour and npp came to power.Ghana structurally is the same till now.Some presidents left economically viable landmarks which continue to help the country in our efforts to survive. Hamid and co should point at any economically viable landmark project that kufour left after 8 years. This state of illusion that is getting noisy. The dams,the harbors etc are there and we know who did them.npp has nothing to show so they should stop disturbing us. The "if it doesn't break,don't fix it" type of leadership under npp is glaring. Mugabe despite all his issues is fixing his country.

Was that a good reaction, my lecturer? One of the pointless reactions to a question is what former President Kuffour gave. He knows we haven't done enough. Using population as a defence was unfortunate cos it's not only Ghana that has had her population increased. All nations have. It boils down to leadership failure.

Look at him. No experience but if Akuffo Addo should win today he will be a minister. A mess. Parties should organize in such a way that such people are employed and paid well by the parties. Sometimes even better than ministers. Then they will be able to develop the party machinery further. We put technocrats, experienced men as ministers. We seem to think that by talking as a politician makes you an effective minister. Of course they go to the ministries and start doing things as if it was a party head quarters. Why won't we face problems as a country.

Ghana's democracy is not Zimbabgwe one-man dictatorship.
White Ian Smith built structures are not owned by Mugabe except those farms brutally seized by his henchmen and his mentor, an act of barbarism does not prevail in Ghana.
Nkrumahs communist ideas of factories and airline that Mugabe saw were all running at a loss to disappear. Now modern Ghanaians are running their own airlines and factories as private enterprises profitably.
Six Regions of Ghana Mugabe saw are now ten. Electricity supply 80% of the population, tarred roads more than before.
Lack of aspiration of Africans in the 60s has disappeared. Over population has over-stretched Ghana resources could be our own mistake.
