Right from the day you took over from late Prof you should have initiated this project. But you waited until you have given so much boneless meat to the desperate cocaine barons to chew which they are now spewing on you. Why? because you dismissed experienced and intelligent persons in the presidency for inexperience. I wish you well anyway

OF WHAT USE IS A YOUNG MAN WHO DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING AT THE PRESIDENCY? Our lives are not toys to be experimented with. VOTE THAT YOUNG MAN WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE OUT, AND SAVE GHANA FROM FURTHER DECLINE. Wisdom is very essential at the presidency; we don't have it there now as I write, otherwise a president will not say he ''HAS A DEAD GOAT SYNDROME'' in response to people's life and death complains. VOTE THE HOPELESS, ANTI-AKAN, INSENSITIVE TO GHANAIANS HOME AND ABROAD, CLUELESS AND NO VISION YOUNG MAN OUT IN 2016.

CRIMINAL POLITICIANS LIKE YOU AND MEYAA WISH THE STATUS QUO STAY, SO THAT YOU CONTINUE TO STEAL THE NATIONS MONEY. I'M SURPRISED NDC CAN HAVE THE COURAGE TO DESCRIBE SOMEONE ELSE AS''BLOOD THIRST'' WHEN NOBODY CAN COUNT THE NUMBER OF GHANAIANS YOUR EVIL PARTY HAS EXECUTED. You have no conscience, that is why you can even mention ''blood thirst'' after all your killings.

CRIMINALS!
O Lord I pray for Mother Ghana, that you reduce the number of FOOLISH VOTERS in 2016. Father the small number that will be left, wash their faces with sea sand so that they would be able to see the predicament they have put Ghana in through their foolish action, and change for the better. I pray that you let them vote this USELESS and CLUELESS GOVERNMENT out. Let those who these FOOLISH VOTERS envy because they are prospering as a result of which they vote foolishly so that they will be equal with them prosper even more. Father let those who are sympathetic to these USELESS VOTERS stop giving them money when they come begging, so that they will realize 'Ghana is hard', and vote wisely this time round. Lord, there are too many office to office beggars in Ghana, that is a sign of poverty, kick those who encourage this out of office. Merciful Father, too many FOOLISH VOTERS who have no sense of dignity are rewarded with trips to soccer matches only to go and sleep on the floor in foreign land, and eventually seek asylum, stamp that disgraceful spirit out of Ghana. Lord, you have blessed us with everything that can make us rich, but you seemed to have forgotten to protect mother Ghana from greedy politicians and thieves; we call on you to rise and let these nation wreckers scatter in 2016. Amen

What a silly government!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Is that the solution to the problem? How much power does the rural areas consume; one or two bulbs per household per night? Will that solve the problem for the industries in the day time? Every thing done by these greedy bastards have political connotation. Just create the enabling envioronment and provide the solar energy, Ghanaians across the country will buy them one touch and release the grid. Just like the health insurance Mahama collapsed do you know how many people pay for their relatives and poor people to access health care? Going round villages and putting up free solar panels ; definitely for NDC fools will not solve the problem. We need energy conservation policy and the structure and stop this nonsense. How come this government lack every management ideas? Ebei

You are an idiot,Ashanti ape is better than an ewe ape. John Mahama is a fool, John Mahama is a jerk, John Mahama is an idiot ,John Mahama is a donkey face, John Mahama is a dead he goat. John Mahama has no brains,no vision, clueless and a notorious promise idiot. John Mahama doesnt know his left from his right. But Kuffuor is adored world wide he is loved everywhere , the whole world wide knows John Mahama is a thief, hence the German money didnt come and i'm not sure the IMF money is in yet. Ghana is dealing with criminals,evil dwarfs and satanic verses. John Mahama is a failure and will continue to fail. I don't believe him a bit and i know the foolsoldiers will clap for a lie, Ghanaians are wide awake and you can't fool all of them all of the time, whether solar or no solar John Mahama will GO.

Faustie, read between the lines. This is a vote winning strategy. That is NDC for you, thinking about the next election and not the next generation. Why would NDC create an enabling environment, they never will. They need those at the bottom of the ladder to stay there so they can continue handing down crumbs to them and buying their votes. A party that claims to be social democrats but with 100% of it's leaders practising capitalism and at the expense of social interventions they inherited when they came to power.

Because it is easier to impress and buy votes in the rural areas with such gimmicks than the urban areas and cities. Think about it. You have no idea the sort of leaders you are dealing with.

solar energy in its present form of implementation is not viable long/short term. in the west their govt. pay people in the form of subsidy just to tick the marks for investing in renewable energy, but a small/large implementation is not viable considering the cost involbed, plus at present the figure is close to 50 years to realise any gains on the amount invested forgoing maintenance cost. so why this now. we are heading for 'dum-dum' in the near future.
