NDC AND WAYOME ARE THE SAME; THIEVES.
They are gradually gaining confidence to tell us where they stand in the Wayome case. They are on the thief side. RAWLINGS SAID 60% OF THEM ARE THIEVES, BUT I THINK 100% IS THE RIGHT FIGURE.

LET'S GRANT THAT THE EWE-NDC HAS BORROWED US$66.6BN, DOES BAWUMIA NEEDS ELEVATION TO SEE THE MONEY INVESTED IN DEVELOPMENTS?

GHANAIANS WANT BAWUMIA TO STOP THE USELESS POLITICIZATION OF ISSUES AND OFFERING CONSTRUCTIVE ALTERNATIVES.

WHAT BAWUMAI IS DOING IS PLAIN HATRED OF HIS FELLOW NORTHER WHO IS DOING EXCELLENT JOB IN DEVELOPING THE COUNTRY AT A FAST PACE THAN CORRUPT KUFFOUR'S EIGHT (8) YEARS AND UNINTELLIGENT RAWLINGS WASTED NINETEEN (19) SOLID YEARS.

WHAT ARE THE REST OF US TO THE DEAD GOAT?

WE NEED SENSIBLE AND EXPERIENCE PEOPLE TO LEAD GHANA. VOTE THE USELESS NDC PARTY OUT IN 2016. MAHAMA DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING AT THE PRESIDENCY. HE IS ONLY CELEBRATING HIS POSITION LIKE A MOVIE ACTOR. VOTE HIM OUT IN 2016.

I thought Bawumia helped in the re-domination and as such will not be quoting figures in the old cedi. Ghana is blessed with a lot of deceptive politicians driving the nation to hell.

He is warning us of what ndc is plunging us into. Bawumia is a great and faithful watchman who is doing his God given assignment. It is better for him to voice it out than to keep quiet. He is telling it as a prophet, if you like take it or else throw it away. But remember when we all plunge into the abyss, do not blame him. By the way, if JJ has been warning as an economist, will you argue with him? You always disagree with Bawumia's assertions, but he has flawed you in all the past predictions. So why can't you guys learn to learn or humble to take his advice. Are you all blind and dumb? Or just playing fanaticism with a party to the detriment of a whole nation? I do not understand, Lord please help us. May the Lord help us to eject ndc from forever winning election in Ghana in Jesus name. Amen!

He is not criticizing he is rather pointing out what the gvt does not see, and that is a mark of a good leader. In fact, a real leader is the one who sees what others cannot see. That is the reason people troop to see prophets. Prophets always tell the people the impending danger, which the masses do not see - and that is Bawumia. He most of the time sees and tells our leaders but they do not heed to his hypothesis. So to just say he is not a leader does not hold, honestly, you are being dishonest to brand him as one who is not a leader. Is he not better than most of the people we have in the gvt now? Who Has ever come out to predict a single item that has passed the test of time among the ruling Ndc gvt. Even the president himself gets it wrong almost all the time. He does not know when exactly drumsor will end. What do you have to say about the prez's inaccuracies? I think Bawumiah is even more accurate in his predictions than the prez. Friend, you need to revise your notes about Bawumiah, else no one will regard you as one who knows what he/she is saying.

With such huge amounts of resources having been injected into the system, one would expected that, at the very least, the trajectory would be moving in the positive direction. However, the contrary situation is the case. The system has contracted, growth is decelerating and has stagnated, inflation is on the up swing, the currency is deprecaiting and hurtling downwards like a tonne of bricks dropped from space.
So the question is what is accounting for this trend and how did Ghana go so spectacularly wrong?
Therein lies your answer in 2016 at the ballot box. Ghana deserves the best and has the best to deliver. It is an absolute imperative the John Mahama-led NDC dead goat syndrome gov't is sent packing at the ballot box in 2016. Governance and leadership that brings about a paradigm shift in the lives of the masses and for the greater public good and ensures social and economic mobility of the citizenry is very, very serious business. The Mahama-led NDC gov't cannot deliver and need to be sent packing. Enough is enough.

Dr Bawumia must speak out for the benefit of the uninitiated and confused ndc people. All he has said have come to pass and he never fails to make appropriate suggestions as to how the problem can be solved. Just that they don't listen. This is the mark of a great leader. Give him the chance and he will prove his worth.

Part of the money borrowed is being used to fix the eastern corridor roads, the Sawla-Fofolsu Road, the Buipe-Tamale Road Asphalt resealing, the upgrade of the Tamale Airport into an International one so that you can fly from your foreign travels directly to Walewale and not to manufacture Gold chains to decorate ourselves as your people did when they were in power

"President Mahama urged the Togolese authorities to agree to an independent audit of the voters register of Togo, arguing that it was important Togo goes into the election with a register which enjoys the confidence of all parties." Is this true? Don't we have a similar problem in Ghana?
