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.

AUTHOR: MARTIN A.B.K. AMIDU....
It would appear that those in control of the NDC, for the time being, were bent on excluding other bona fide members of the Party who may wish to lay democratic claims to who becomes the next flag bearer of the Party by excluding them even before the mortal remains of the demised President were interred. It is also symptomatic of how political party elites in Ghana and Africa worm their way into the confidences of persons perceived as likely to ascend to power positions for purposes of eventual personal economic gain at the expense of the generality of the mass of Party members and the Nation which every President swears to serve under the Constitution

Author:-Mahmoud...If we may ask, is the NDC new party school another communist ideological institution? The Young Pioneers implanted by Nkrumah in our midst did more harm than good to the development of this country when they usurped power from 1972 to 2001.

Our experience with the quack neo-communists is that, they seize power unjustifiably through coups and counter coups, and Ghanaians only suffer dictatorship, tyranny, corruption and economic mismanagement under them. Being in power now for six years, the NDC has failed again to improve the economy simply because their fundamentals are wrong. In fact, they don't have what it takes to salvage the sinking economy.

Under normal circumstances, political parties are formed to produce leaders democratically. But in the case of NDC, a tyrant created the party with state power and resources to legitimize his illegitimate regime and cling to power fraudulently. NDC is therefore, an artificial and illegitimate party followed by stomach politicians and sycophants.

You aren't seeing straight else you will avoid projecting your frustrations about this matter into political issue,

The ECG workers at the Kumasi are mostly Asantes. Their lack of service is due to their incompetence and has nothing to do with NDC or pepefuo. Some minds like you are why are suffering because you filter every issue through tribal lenses then by extension a political lenses because the NPP meets your tribe quota.

You need help. Take it from someone who knows

TIME FOR A MILITARY COUP BEFORE ITS TOO LATE TO SAVE GHANA FROM THE MESS AND HAVE TECHNOCRATS TO RUN THE COUNTRY UNDER MILITARY SUPERVISION SO THEY CAN BE COURT MARTIALED AND DEALT WITH QUICKLY IF PROVEN TO HAVE STOLEN THE COUNTRY'S MONEY.

WOYOME FOR EXAMPLE IS STILL WALKING FREE WITH $75 MILLION ASSETS THOUGH A HIGH COURT HAS RULED THE ATTORNEY GENERAL GETS OUR MONIES BACK ALMOST A YEAR NOW. WHERE IS THE MONEY?

Do you know that NPP spent $mils to build us a energy project that was supposed to be producing 450MW to help deal with the then dumso of energy shortage in Kuffuor era but currently the dam is not working? If akosombo has been having water issues because of Burkina Faso decision to also build a dam, why do NPP build another dam that shares same water source?

Wereko Brobbey too made matters worse when he single handedly procured an energy plant for $mils that uses diesel instead of consulting with VRA that wanted a gas energy plant. The white elephant plant cant be used and sitting idle because the cost per watt of producing power far exceeds the ECG cost of the market because diesel is very expensive.

You politician wannabe should rather pray the gas project that John Mahama has started should be complete soon so you can meet the short falls since only the gas plants are producing enough to sustain us. Telling people to charge without any facts is unfortunate
