Yes, NDC is wiser because if a top member of the NDC has made such foolish, defeatful message live onradio like Ken Agyepong made only days to the 2012 elections, the NDC, as serious as they are would have set him aside.At least the NDC wouldn't have him at their fore-front.Yet, a stupid party like the NPP still has this man spewing garbage everyday, with even some people asking him to be a flagbearer. THIS IS THE MOST STUPID USELESS, BRAINLESS, CHILDISH AND BOVINE THING ANY POLITICAL PARTY I THIS WORLD WILL EVER DO.A man makes a very terrible and horrible tribal comment and all u do is embrace him. And somehow, u want the affects tribes to be stupid enough to vote for u. NPP IS SENSELESS AND VERY FOOLISH, because they disregard the intelligence of Ghanaians. Which party in the US will uphold a top politician who makes racial slurs in this day and age. That's the worst damage one can make to a party's chance of winning elections.As an Ashanti, I wonder if I'll ever vote for a party if it's MP or top member calls for Ashanti's to be killed llove on radio or tv. HELL NO. If I won't vote for such a party, I don't expect others to do the same.

Asiedu Nketia is just one annoying billy goat. He thinks he is slick and the smartest person in Ghana, when in real fact he is a thieving mosquito. What was he doing there anyway? Is he a cabinet minister now? It takes an honest and dignified person to accept their mistakes and move on, and not try to make up lame excuses for out-out mistake.

Will Asiedu Nketia soon be wearing his wife's bra and underwear and panty-hose as well as high heels. From what we have read and glean from the story and picture, Asiedu Nketia and his wife have the same body frame, bust, size and height. Two bone to bones. The man knows he has goofed big time and has not only embarrassed himself but the country he purports to have represented. But instead of eating a humble pie, he will attempt to defend the indefensible as he cannot handle the truth in any circumstance.

Adwoa-Kwadwo Asiedua Nketiaa, what brain work did you go to do in Germany, besides suiting up for per diem and shopping? You are not cabinet minister and there is nothing you can do or sign on to oblige or bind Ghana in a contractual sense, so therefore your presence was not required. Purely this was a holiday and site seeing trip for you and you just sent the Ghanaian people the bill.

Ghana has no problems that can not be solved.The situation we ve found ourselves regards to power problems can not be considered as mahmmahs incompetence,or uniqe problems taking place only in ghana.Pointing fingers at some individuals in goverment as corrupt is uncalled for. Over $50 milion was lavished while millions of peasant farmers lavish in poverty in the county in kuffours regime.Who is talking about that.Peasant farmers in my region (Ashanti region) still languish in poverty.Lets stop this unnecessary antics and with our collective efforts build this nation to make it great for all...

Mahama and his bunch of NDC are frustrating Ghana .Mahama depends totally on other countries for Ghanaian problems. After sending the country on a borrowing spree with ghc70billion debt , he is still looking for assistances from other nation to resolute his mess. We have to remind this comedian, Ghana is not in frustration to that level, his fake government and NDC are. Bunch of Looters !

Ghanaians can talk and all we do is talk and insult yet they are still better than us in so many ways. The more we spoil their names the more our women follow them. They are curious to find out if they are really bad or not and then they ended up staying with them.

PEOPLE WITH VISION,PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTAND DEVELOPMENT,PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTAND PRODUCTION AND THE NEED TO PRODUCE NOT TO IMPORT AND CONTINUE IMPORTING,WE HAVE LAND TO PRODUCE ,WHY DO WE HAVE TO IMPORT,even Onion,Tomatoes,fish,etc?????Bye for Now.

Hon. President John Mahama, your government is made up of too many people who have no practical Experience on confronting issues facing the Country. Most of them have No clues on how to move the Country to the Next Level.Is it that it look as if we do not have A NATIONAL PLAN FOR THE DEVELOPMENT of the Country or What? As an Example, An engineer that will tell you that let us Pray to GOD FOR RAIN to fall so that we get water for Bui Dam,Akosombo Dam to work efficiently means that person is NOT AN ENGINEER.ALL what he/she has in his/her head is THEORY.NO PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE. Take a look at Food production, I expect Hon.Fiifi Keeley to have Commissioned 10 PLANTATIONS by now for FOOD Production. We have the human Capacity. People are there to work.Mr.President one of the main Stories behind SLAVERY is the desire to get People to work on Farms and Plantations. So what are we doing as a country? Are we really SERIOUS? HOUSING??? Everything is politics, greed and selfish interest. Government Officials are deeply involved in this Venture, because is an avenue that you see your Asset clearly, the Land appreciates like-wise the building, so everybody push His money there. I tell you Mr. President, this is a business for VISION-LESS PEOPLE, also owning of FUEL STATIONS HERE AND THERE. Encourage your People to Invest into POWER PRODUCTION,TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION,OIL & GAS EXPLORATION, Invest into Plantation,COCOA,RICE,MAIZE,FISH,CASSAVA,Plantain and Cocoyam,Yam,Pineapple,Vegetable Production. They should Venture into the International Market, the Capital market and so on, to do business. Let me end here by saying ‘some people have ideas but have no means, some have means, but have No ideas, and some have nothing at all’. Mr. President, all what we need to develop the Country is the People surrounding you; a good leader is from the council, the PEOPLE AROUND YOU.SURROUND YOURSELF WITH THE RIGHT PEOPLE. PEOPLE WITH VISION, PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTAND DEVELOPMENT, PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTAND PRODUCTION AND THE NEED TO PRODUCE NOT TO IMPORT AND CONTINUE IMPORTING, WE HAVE LAND TO PRODUCE, WHY DO WE HAVE TO IMPORT, even Onion, Tomatoes, fish, etc?????Bye for Now.

The heavy reliance on Nigeria gas which has failed us for so long is not tenable. Nigeria is not the only contry in the world selling LPG, so a decision should have been taken a long time ago to diversify our gas procurement sources. In the end Nigeria gas is not "cheap" if it is never delivered. Also, is there another side of the story? Have we been paying Nigeria on time, knowing our Government culture of not paying for goods and services on time, examples being road contractors, school teachers, Hospital suppliers, etc.? At the end of the day, strategic plans are needed to address strategic energy problems. Relying on periodic tanker loads of LPG supply to power our hydro-power dams are not going to solve Ghana's growing energy problem. All sorts of energy sources, solar, wind, refining of our own crude, smaller hydro dams on our rivers, bio-fuel and even farting gas ( since Ghanaians eat a lot of beans) should be strategically be exploited.

Businesses are collapsing.
He doesn't sleep in it so he doesn't know how we are suffering.
This hasn't happened before.
All he knows is to send electricity to villages whilst our generation capacity remains same. All he cares about is to win power in 2016
This government is the worse Ghana has ever had.

I would like to know who is advising the President on energy issues at the Flagstaff House.Mr President you don't need to take advise on energy from the sector Minister because he might not know all the Technical,Administrative and Social implications.Telling everybody the problem comes the Nigerian Gas does not make any economic sense because the Nigerians don't give us gas for free.We can as well buy gas from Ivory Coast or any country,except you are telling us that the gas from Nigeria is free.If indeed we have enough Thermal Power Plants in the country to generate enough power for us and still the power is not coming because of gas and feul then Mr President,please check your notes well.We must find ways to buy more gas and feul for the plants to work constantly.Besides,Ghana is sitting on heavy reserve of Natural gas,just go to the Geological Institute and find out the areas where natural gas deposites are untapped.Thank you.

Please Mr President,kindly push the energy companies to buy gas and feul from anywhere then dumsur will stop.It does not make any sense to rely only on Nigeria.After all,we don't get electricity for free,Nigeria does not supply us gas for free either.As long as we have put in place thermal power plants to generate enough power for the country then dumsur is a sign of incompetent leadership.If you have the Thermal Power Plants in place,why can't you find ways and means to buy gas and feul from somewhere else instead of waiting for Nigeria,Mr President?Please call all the energy companies to your office with some energy experts and find out why they are not able to buy gas and feul now.Thank you.

Let us think about solar electricity for Ghana at this time that we cannot rely on Akosombo Dam. If this is adopted we shall not think of at least domestic power cuts. The Government must think seriously about this.

Buy gas and feul from somewhere to feed the already thermal power plants we have istalled in the system and dumsur will stop right away.The question is why the energy companies are refusing to buy gas and feul somewhere.This equation is not clear,the excuse of Nigeria not supplying us enough gas is not logic anymore because we can buy gas from anywhere.The generating companies must come out with their reason,is it political,economic or negligence?We want to know the reason now,as for the Nigeria nonesense we don't want to hear it again.Thank you.
