And the devil of stupidity became Ghana!
So K4 bought toy generators for Ghana as told by NDC leaders. The generator are such toys that it is useless for Ghanaians but some wise guys in SL figured out how to make it useful to their country and are paying $250,000 a ...

Obviously Ghana's problems and challenges are as a result of the 2012 elections and the current bad leadership. We do not have a lack of generation capacity as in this story but a lack of leadership's " dwen hw3 kan"

WHICH NDC MEMBER OR MINISTER IS CHOPPING THE $25,000 PER MONTH RENTAL FROM THE POWER PLANTS?????????
If they have this and cant power them why are they bringing more from Turkey? Will they be able to power those? or it is just another looting scheme? Jess
Kwame Nkrumah is the worst thing ghana ever had. He created all these mess for joining this Togolese cursed Ewes among the royal Akans. He will rot and rot again in hell.
What has Nkrumah got to do with this? Stop tribalism.Tackle current problems instead of pointing fingers,please!
royal sikaman or whatever...what have u done for Ghana??...it is people like u who are drawing the coutry back...an important issue is on board and u are talking about something that has no relation to it
Ghana is indeed gone to the DOGS
Greedy, Incompetent, fraudulent BASTARDS.
Ghanaians - is time for revolution. These equipments were sold and now that media broke the story they are trying to lie for claiming is been renting. Someone have pocketed the money - WAKE UP GHANAIANS

Our loadshedding is about 600megawatts and we are beating war drums over toys that produce a total of 10megawatts. Please let us be serious for once. We need peace to sort out over 600megawatts. Can we have it please!!
600 minus 10 is not 600 again!
I thought NDC propagandists have been circulating in the news that Kufuor purchased toys, not knowing the toys can be rented at the expense of Ghanaians. This NDC must be kicked out as a matter of urgency!
Who is pocketing these amounts...Toy machines are worth something at least in Sierra Leone... How did they end up being rented out when Ghanaians are in DUMSOR mode????
PURGE THE SYSTEM OF CORRUPTION!!!!
Who made that call, that the 'toy machines anre worth renting to another country instead of it's intended purpose in Ghana at the time they were acquired?? Please sack him if he is still at VRA
They could be released to our hospitals because a generating plant with 1MW capacity will not help the dumsor crisis to any significant extent.
