EVER SEEN REPUBLICAN AMERICANS IN GHANA GO TO KOTOKA OR HOLIDAY INN TO DEMONSTRATE AGAINST VISITING BILL CLINTON OR OBAMA OR US DEMOCRATIC OFFICIAL BEFORE, AND REDUCING THEIR COUNTRY? WOULD YOU EVER SEE OPPOSITION JAPANESE, GERMAN, BRITISH CITIZENS LIVING IN GHANA GO AND BE MAKING A FOOL OF THEMSELVES BECAUSE AN OFFICIAL FROM THE OTHER PARTY IS VISTING GHANA????? BUT THIS TRIBAL ASANTE-AKYEM PEOPLE, HMMMMMMMM!! THEY EVEN WENT AS FAR AS SENDING A DELEGATION TO THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND THAT GHANA WAS NOT READY FOR INDEPENDENCE WHEN THEY SAW KWAME NKRUMAH WAS GOING TO WIN THE ELECTIONS. THESE PEOPLE, SO LONG AS YOU ARE NOT AN ASANTE OR AKYEM PRESIDENT OR GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL, YOU ARE NOT LEGITINATE TO RESPECTED, AND THEY ARE NO LONGER PATRIOTIC GHANAIANS

A bad government wastes money and takes a country backwards. Something is bad then it is bad. Mahama is worse than Acheampong-- Acheampong tried to emulate Nkrumah in some ways by doing the equivalent of builders/workers brigade in his operation feed yourself program, he also was able to accomplish building the low cost housing in Dansoman etc which the NDC has failed to add to. And no Acheampong was not a dictator at all, it was JJ who was the dictator so why didn't you simply mention JJ, I guess not bold enough eh! The sad part is Acheampong and his soldiers who headed the government agencies did not even have the education Mahama and his ministers have and so the economy went downhill and Kalabule thrived. Mahama sounds like a broken and confused man.

Vote the NDC PARTY OUT in 2016.

THEY HATE AND MAKE FUN OF THE PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED. THEY HAVE NO RESPECT FOR ANYONE EXCEPT MEMBERS OF THEIR GROUP.

(1) THEY HATE OUR WOMEN. Calling for a law that will allow them to stone women when they make mistakes. They are not satisfied with stripping our women naked and whipping them on the streets. '3y3 kanea 3y3 haan'.

(2)THEY ARE CONSTANTLY INSULTING THE CLERGY

(3) THEY SCORN THE PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED. Ivor's Greenstreet's condition is constantly made fun of by the NDC PARTY. They said the CRIPPLE MUST STAND UP TO SEE OUR 'GOOD WORKS'. NDC have NO HEART.

VOTE THE PROMISEMANIAC, CLUELESS, VISIONLESS, IDEAS STARVED AND HOPELESS YOUNG MAN CALLED MAHAMA OUT IN 2016.

Kofi Ananse, power is how they make their money that they like bragging and showing off about. You don't understand.

They always claim that they are already rich, and just want to help the people. Its all a lie!!!!!!!! When they are in power, they sell government assets to themselves, give contracts to their families, cronies and friends, loot as much as possible that can last them and their children for a long time. Their elites like Nana Addo, Kuffour like living like whitemen, sending their children to British public schools like Eton, Harrow, etc. Many of them and their families were made in the short Busia administration and Acheampong regime which forced international companies operating in Ghana to sell their companies to them, bought with Government bank loans (GCB, NIB, etc). Their children and grandchildren are still living on these lootings. They hate Rawlings because he interrupted their gravy train and tax dodgings.

They like bragging that they are special black people, and hate it when they are not in power to steal money. Forgetting that its a democracy we are operating in. If they could get away with coup, they would do it. Nana Addo and Jake Obetestebi-Lamptey were wishing for courting Ivorian-type civil war the last elections. That is how badly its paining them that the democracy is not working for them

Kutu was not the worst PREZ. Do the young ones know something about operation feed yourself and how successful it was? Many dual carriages, teachers' bungalows, hospitals etc were built under Kutu. Besides Nkrumah, Kutu did better than all our former leaders.He never executed anybody, yet was murdered. Yes, he is accused of Bottom Power. Let all our leaders who are not guilty speak. Even the religious Mills was guilty of that Article 7 of the 10 commandments.

The opposition had won - an African country ... had shown that democratic change could be achieved peacefully. Kufuor's eight years as President saw economic growth of more than 70 per cent - the first prolonged period since independence when Ghana was not getting poorer. But Ghanaians chose to exercise their democratic right to change and earlier this month narrowly elected Atta Mills.

JD MAHAMA you are a failure. You think money money money is everything. You know you don't have the capability, the skill-set, the exposure, the experience (despite being an assemblyman, MP, minister, Vice-President and President as you only stole and amassed wealth in these positions, not was achieved by you).
It is a disgrace to see someone like you a thief, incompetent and a killer to be pretending as if you managing Ghana. Your incompetence is turning Ghanaians into liars and thieves as well as killing them.
Your incompetence has brought untold hardships to Ghanaians, caused tribalism and created ethnic tensions.
The sight of you make most well meaning Ghanaians feel sick. MAHAMA you are a disgrace to Ghana. Your CNN stunt, the World cup fiasco through your Afriyie-Anrahs and the baby thief, your Asiedu-Nketsia and her female fur coat made Ghanaians a laughing stock. JD MAHAMA you were imposed on Ghanaians by this rat-haired kinsman Atuguba and now your are the laughing stock of the average discerning Ghanaian. God is great.

Yes! every contribution is some contribution.
But development cannot happen if the contribution is smaller than growth.

Ghana's economic and social development has lagged behind those of countries lie Korea and Singapore because Ghana's leaders only contribute meagrely and marginally to meeting the needs of a growing and increasingly more affluent Ghanaian population.

In conclusion, "YES" the president is right in claiming his meagre contributions to meeting the needs of his population but meagre contributions may not result in moving the country's development forward.

For example adding particles of power to the grid is a progressive contribution but developmental contributions can only be achieved in an environment of power surplus that is substantial enough to sustain economic growth and attract investors

OMG!!! Is this what he has to say. WTF is that statement mean anyway. It really has no sense of inspiration. So in a sense what the President is saying is that "if Ghanaians think he is not doing well then it is ok" however, they (Ghanaian)can choose to reject him and if they do some one else will come to continue if or without the good or bad work he did. Well, Mr. President, what prompted to say the things you said. It does not make sense at all. But hey it is your words. And by the way the affordable houses Achemapong build especially those at Dansoman are stil there today where some people are still living in them and even some government official benefiting from as well. Could he had said something better and more inspiring.

Mahama's disappointing statement here shows a frustrated and under pressure President.

Mahama is indeed the most unfortunate imposed as President of the Republic of Ghana.

It is good Mahana has at last admitted his failure as a President, but how dare he allude to "even Acheapong". Acheampong's Government did far better for this country than this band of looters who have ruined Ghana. And Acheampong did a good job without taking any loans. His "yentua" policy denied him access to the world capital market, yet he was able to do so much, including the Kpong Dam which Maham is drawing water from for his politics at Adenta. His "Operation Feed Yourself" policy was our most successful attempt at domestication and self reliance? Mahama's Government which has contracted over $27 million in loans and given us just about $7 billion worth of projects pales out in the face of Acheampong's regime. The current regime is the worst in our history.

If we want our country to be as it was found ed on by the founder , we must snub these enthinc stations and make those who are fools to be fools.

The 2016 Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has outlined policies, he says, will deliver prosperity on a sustainable basis for the people of Ghana.

He delivered an address on Wednesday, January 21, 2014 on the theme “Developing Ghana – Policies for Prosperity” at Chatham House, the Royal Institute of International Affairs, a British think tank.

It was a 90 minute interaction with an invited gathering, composed of representatives of multinationals, diplomats and policy analysts, on how his government will manage the economy.

For Ghana to build a strong foundation that can rapidly transform the economy in a sustainable way, it requires a leadership that can manage the economy with discipline, vision and innovation, he stated.

Nana Akufo-Addo described the NPP as the political party that understands business because the party is fully aware of the relationship between a vibrant economy and the capacity of the state to deliver opportunities and prosperity to the masses.

Building a future of opportunities and prosperity will be hinged on a policy of “education for all”, providing basic infrastructure on the principle of value for money, fighting corruption and strengthening the democratic accountability tools of the institutions of state, particularly at the local level.

He said his vision for economic transformation will focus on two main areas: a vigorous expansion of agribusiness and manufacturing.

“We have to modernise our agriculture and process our agricultural products. Both commercial and small-scale farmers will be supported to improve their output and develop their business,” he noted.

He pointed out that there are huge benefits in improving the rural economy with direct benefits to the majority of the population in terms of incomes, lower food prices and jobs. Agribusiness, from farming through processing, warehousing and exports, will be critical to the transformation agenda.

He said, when he looks ahead, in the next 15 years, West Africa is estimated to have an economy with 500 million people. He wants Ghana to position itself in a way that it can help deepen the process of integration and serve such a huge common market.

Nana Akufo-Addo told the gathering, “we cannot transform the economy and the country without transforming the knowledge and skills of our people”, stating that education, especially technical education would be a major priority of an Akufo-Addo government.

He reiterated that every child, rich or poor, able-bodied or disabled, deserves a good education, stressing that “the benefits of an educated population far outweigh the cost of getting it done.”

Still on the Ghanaian economy, Nana Akufo-Addo was asked what would be the number one priority of his government. He responded without hesitation that his first priority would be to ensure fiscal discipline and macroeconomic stability. This received all-round nods from the audience.

On the energy crisis, he said investors (independent power producers) were ready to come to Ghana but crucial to their coming was knowing that the projects of interest were bankable. That they would be paid and their investments would not be disturbed by macro-economic instability.

Such assurance is difficult to give in an environment of currency depreciation, high interest rates, high inflation, high budget deficit, and reckless borrowing, which have characterised the six years of the NDC administration.

Furthermore, Nana Akufo-Addo stated that his government would move away from a focus on taxation to financing fiscal deficits to a focus on production.

“This means providing incentives, including tax incentives, to enhance production, reducing the cost of doing business and spreading the tax burden wider but thinner,” he said.

Once stabilisation has been achieved, a focus on growing and transforming the economy from a raw material one to a value-added kind would be aggressively pursued, he stressed.

He said Ghana cannot continue with business as usual. His government would deliberately push for a payment system that achieves financial inclusion by moving the majority of citizens from cash to electronic payments (debit cards) for transactions. He saw this as important to growing the banking sector, enlarging the formal sector and shrinking the informal way of doing business in 21st century Ghana.

To achieve the formalisation process of the economy requires an efficient and reliable national database system. The NPP will bring to an end the perplexing delay in introducing a national identification system and a national housing address system, Nana Akufo-Addo assured.

On the provision of basic infrastructure, Nana Akufo-Addo told the gathering that Ghana, today, is spending less on infrastructure (5% of GDP) than before it discovered oil, 7% of GDP in 2008 in the last year of the Kufuor era.

“Thus contrary to expectations and government rhetoric, Ghana is spending a smaller proportion of its income, including oil revenues, on infrastructure and more on recurrent expenditure. 94% of the increase in Government expenditure over the last six years has been on recurrent expenditure. It is critical to increase investment expenditure if we are to grow the economy,” Nana Akufo-Addo stressed.

To investors, he said his attitude is for a win-win situation and his government would promote join ventures between Ghanaians and foreign investors. "Foreign investments are extremely welcome in all areas of the economy, but our approach is to ensure that we grow the capacity of Ghanaian businesses to compete", he said.

He assured the gathering that NPP understands business, also because "many of our people come into politics from a private sector background."

To bring about prosperity, Nana Akufo-Addo stated that Ghana needs a leadership of conviction– which is committed to fighting corruption and dedicated to the welfare and wellbeing of the Ghanaian people.

Hmmn...today another record has been set in Ghana, to as it were, justify the worst gov't in Ghana's history since independence, under this Mahama-led NDC gov't.
Had it not been for John Mahama, one would not have known that "bad gov'ts contribute to nation building".
Indeed, it makes nonsense of the adjectival clause on which the statement is predicated upon.
Why is the gov't described as bad even in the first place for it to warrant it's contribution to nation building?
How can a bad gov't contribute to nation building?
If any such gov't had contributed to nation building, would it have been described as bad?
Today, mediocrity in Ghana has been given a new leash on life, and incompetence and ineptitude which has caused Ghana to retrogress and stagnate is being glorified as contributing to nation building.
If today we are being told that bad gov'ts contribute to nation building, then, the high standards expected of our gov'ts today, have suffered an insufferable breach.
Today is Ghana's day of infamy for those high standards expected of our gov'ts with respect to nation building and it's very pathetic.
It is why it is described as a bad gov't in the first place.
Clearly the Mahama NDC gov't has lost the plot, and this mediocre NDC gov't need to be set free from governance at the ballot box in 2016.

Bad governments don't deserve to be in power because the piecemeal development they bring to the table is the reason we're so far behind in development. Glorifying mediocrity amounts to mortgaging the nation's future for peanuts. It is the worst tragedy that can befall a nation as rich as ours. For us to catch up with the developed world what we need and deserve from the men and women who compete with each other to be our rulers is not just the fulfillment of their campaign promises but the enforcement of an accelerated development agenda that will bring prosperity and stability.

Dear president Mahama, for Alla's sake, if you don't have anything good to say, just don't say anything. When you contrubite a miniscule effort in the face of plenty, when there is rot, thuggery, corruption that stinks fron here to hell and you build a few low income houses or schools,as the mases suffer under the yoke of your disastrous economic inept you call that a contrubution to nation building. It apparent the NDC always come and destroy achievements. Rawlings left a sea of economic wasteland after his 19yr brutal dictatorship. Today you and your NDC bandits continue the economic destruction of the nation through graft, corruption,"create, loot and share" as you offer graft to judges and the EC which you have inducted into the circle of corruption. So what development are you talking about.Do you understand the word. It is a "politician" word. And it hollow

Of wat use are buildin of new schools whn we cant afford education fr our children; hospitals when nhis is collapsin them & makin us pay so much fr health; roads whn we struggle to buy fuel our cars or pay transport fares or struggle to put food on the table. Does this man really understand wat we are goin thru? Dont think so. His mind is in a wealthy lalaland enjoyin. He talks of affordable homes by gen acheampong. We all know that whn so called affordable homes are built by govt, it's only friends & relatives of govt officials who benefit from them. Pls he shld just keep quiet if he just cant do anything about our struggling livelyhood, worse in the history of ghana. Thanks.
