When Kwaku Baako informed us about the atrocities of Kwesi Pratt during PNDC Regime, some of us did not believe until the truth was confirmed during the NRC. Kwesi Pratt is the most dangerous Journalist Ghana had ever have, he had the gut to recommend his fellow journalists to be executed by PNDC. Pratt even recommended Baako to be killed by the regime, thank God Baako was instead touchered violently and severely but his life was spared. This is what Kwesi Pratt can do. Now Pratt is a secret agent to NDC and US Embassy in Ghana. May God forgive Pratt and spare him the untold evils that will come upon him and his generations. The souls of those journalist killed through Pratt's recommendations to PNDC will never forgive Pratt. Now Pratt has the guts to take Diplomatic Passport and smuggled his weak-headed children to work at the Ministries under Mills NDC, may God forgive Pratt and his dependance and spare them of the evils ahead of them...

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.

The so-called "Donor partners" should not release any money to Ghana. Our leaders should find a way to generate income for our usage. If the donors are corrupt like us, where will they get the money to give us?

If I can communicate with these nations, I will tell them to stop giving us any money because that fuels corruption.

For Gods sake ; I sometimes do not understand the mentality of these NDC guys including Bagbin ; what he should understand is that ; stealing and datre not the word corruption is is amongst all Ghanaians today every Ghanaian is involved in corruption besides these donor counteries always hear about how funds are diverted all the time and they can se it besides the have their own monitors on the ground ; the government officially goes to beg for funds to construt a project and what do the government do they simply dump these monies into the so called consolidated account which constitutes the whole expenditure ppot for Ghana ; the accounting system have been designed this way for both the NPP and NDc to steal ; JJ Rawlings stloe from the fund ; Kuffour stole friom the fund and Jon Mahama is dipping his dirty Bole hands in the fund ; to dso other things like paying wages but will not intigate initiative ti fill the pot ; Bagbin should understand bu now that ; the whole stealing regime has been going on for years and why SHOULD FOEIGN PARTNERS STILL CONTRIBUTE TO SUCH A FUND when they can the monies been stolen by politicians ; I wish all fuunding to Ghana is cut OFF ; this not harsh because the poor who the monies are meantdo not get it ; it ends up in the pockets of politicians all the time .

When I review the political barometer of the country what I discover is that,NDC as the rullinmg party of our country has worsen the economic plight of the citenzenry through vsionless and ideas bereft leadership style.Their modus operandus is to go from time to time to the western world with a white plate in hand to borrow money for this project or that project with 10 per cent interest as their personal gift to be collected later on which go against the plight of the ordinary person in the steet.

Mr Bagbin has also called for a decoupling of the Attorney General’s (AG) Department from the Ministry of Justice in order to reduce interference from the government in the work of the AG.

He said separating the two will ensure efficiency in the delivery of justice in the country, adding that the AG can only be efficient if divorced from the influence of the Executive.

Mr Bagbin called on Ghanaians to support the call for the separation of the two institutions in order to bring about efficiency into the country’s justice system.

IF YOU BAGBIN AS AN INSIDER OF THE RULING PARTY AND YOUR STATUS AS RULING GOVERNMENT MAJORITY LEADER IN PARLIAMENT CANNOT INFLUENCE THE EXECUTIVE/YOUR RULING PARTY IN CABINET TO DO ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS TO DO TO FIGHT CORRUPTION...THEN YOUR APPEAL TO THE PUBLIC IS A WASTE!!!

THIS CALL TO THE VOTERS OF GHANA MEANS THIS GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO BE VOTED OUT FOR NOT DOING ONE OF THE RIGHT FOUNDAMENTAL THINGS THAT GHANA NEEDS TO GO FORWARD...A FAILURE THAT IS VERY VERY REPEATITIVE WITH THIS NDC GOVERNMENT!!!!!

I FEEL GHANA NEEDS A VERY DRASTIC CHANGE OR OVERHAULD OF THE CONSTITUTION...WHICH IN ALL SENSE, REALITY AND WORKABLE SITUATION .... IS ONLY POSSIBLE THROUGH A COUP...TO SUPEND THE CURRENT CONSTITTION, AND RE-WRITE A NEW CONSTITUTION BASED ON ALL FACTORS (DEAVOID OF VOTING UNDER INFLUENCE OF ETHNIC, TRIBAL, SENSELESS AND ANTI-DEVELOPMENT THAT BRINGS ABOUT POOR MANAGERS)...THE ANTI-DOTE TO THAT IS TO INCLUDE REGIONAL/FEDERALISM GOVERNANCE TO HAVE VARIOUS PARTY ABLE TO WIN & GAIN CONTROL IN GOVERNANCE THROUGH THE MANAGEMENT OF REGIONS UNDER THEIR CARE WHERE THEY HAVE WON MAJORITY VOTES - TO MAKE GOVERNANCE COMPETITIVE IN TERMS OF GOOD GOVERNANCE THAT WOULD COMPEL OTHER REGIONS TO TRY THE OTHER PARTIES WITH BETTER GOVERNANCE WHEN THEY REALIZED THE ADVANTAGES GAINED FOR THOSE WELL MANAGED REGIONS UNDER THE BETTER GOVERNANCE - THAT IS A CURE TO ETHNIC VOTING BUT FOR BETTER GOVERNANCE!!!!

The NDC gov't's policy in gov't is to loot and thieve the country senseless. It is the main principle of governance in the NDC party and gov't. The number one cardinal principle that is taught in the NDC party and gov't with religious fervor is thievery.
The donor partners are not going to release the budgetary support of $600million dollars, because the reforms agreed upon with the NDC gov't to curtail the Mahama NDC gov't's thievery have not even crossed the Mahama NDC gov't's mind to implement it.
$600million dollars is a lot of money that their citizens have sacrificed through their taxes to help with the development objectives of the country, and they are just not going to give it to a political party and gov't whose only principle in governance is thievery.
The country strategy paper lists a comprehensive set of reforms and until those reforms are implemented, measured for success and sustained, and improved upon, there will be no budgetary support from anywhere to pour into the leaking basket of NDC thievery.
