MAHAMA AND HIS BUNCH OF CROOKISH INCOMPETENT CORRUPT MONSTERS CAN NEVER DO IT! NO! NOT IN A MILLION YEARS!!! NDC LACK THE BRAINS. JUST LOOK AROUND; CAN'T YOU SEE? JUST OPEN YOUR EARS; CAN'T YOU HEAR? IS THIS THE GHANA K4 HANDED OVER TO NDC GREEDY CORRUPT BASTARDS??? ---------------WHO CAN PROVE KWASI ADADE WRONG? I AM SAYING, THAT, GHANAIANS VOTED FOOLISHLY!!-- IS THIS NDC'S BETTER GHANA? THEN WHAT WILL THEIR BITTER GHANA BE?--- IF THIS IS NDC'S PRAISE THE LORD, THEN, WHAT WILL THEIR CRUCIFY HIM BE?--- GHANA'S PROBLEM, TODAY, IS NOTHING BUT THE RESULT OF CRIMINAL NDC'S ALLIANCE TO CREATE, LOOT AND SHARE POLICY***---------------*** "IT IS ONLY A FOOL, WHO ALLOWS HIS TESTICLES TO BE STEPPED ON, TWICE"-------GO OUT THERE AND RECEIVE YOUR REWARD, ALL GHANAIANS. GO AND PAY THE PRICE FOR YOUR FOOLISHNESS. YOU DON'T GIVE A SECOND MANDATE TO AN INCOMPETENT AND CORRUPT GOVERNMENT, NO!! NOT AT ALL, THAT IS ABOMINATION IN DEMOCRACY, VERY SUICIDAL. HAD NDC MANAGED THE ECONOMY WELL, THESE ECONOMIC PROBLEMS WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN THE SITUATION. NDC HAS PRESIDED OVER THE BIGGEST RESOURCES GHANA HAS EVER HAD. THEY HAVE ALSO CONTRACTED MORE LOANS THAN ANY OTHER GOVERNMENT IN OUR HISTORY, BUT THEY HAVE NOTHING TO SHOW FOR THIS. GHANAIANS SHOULD HAVE ENJOYED SOME ECONOMIC PROGRESS AT THIS TIME IN OUR HISTORY. THE ECONOMY IS COLLAPSING BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT IS SO CORRUPT. TO RESCUE THE SITUATION, THE POOR IS NOW BEING FORCED TO PAY. THIS IS INJUSTICE. THIS IS NOT THE GHANA KUFFOUR HANDED OVER TO NDC, HE EVEN ADDED FRESH CRUDE OIL WELLS. NPP TRANFORMED GHANA TO A MIDDLE INCOME ECONOMY WITH LIMITED RESOURCES BUT GOOD POLICIES. NDC IS WOEFULLY REVERSING THESE NPP ACHIEVEMENTS. GHANA'S CURRENT SITUATION IS VERY DISTURBING. WHEN THE HISTORY IS TOLD, IT WILL BE SAID THAT GHANAIANS WERE OFFERED FREE SECONDARY EDUCATION, IMPROVED UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE, SOCIAL HOUSING FOR THE POOR AND AN EGALITARIAN SOCIETY BUT 50% SAID NO THANK YOU. THEY PREFERRED ECONOMIC "WOYOMISATION" , PHANTOM DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS, PHILANDERERS FOR LEADERS, MACHIAVELLIAN DISRESPECTFUL CORRUPT LOUTS AND A VISIONLESS EVIL GOVERNMENT. I AM SO PROUD I VOTED FOR NANA AKUFFO ADDO.

inefficiency and corruption is the hallmark of NDC. GHANA, YOU DON'T WANT PEOPLE WHO HAVE PLANS TO BANK MILLIONS OF DOLLARS BEFORE THEY QUIT POLITICS TO LEAD YOU; they won't have time for you, they will be taking care of their own.
NEITHER DO YOU WANT PEOPLE WHO WILL WEAR LADIES GARMENT ON FOREIGN TRIPS.
THEY WILL CONTINUE TO DISGRACE YOU.
To get your life back and be respected all over the world VOTE NDC OUT IN 2016

Mr Terkper is either deluding himself or deceiving Ghanaians. When Ghana cannot provide regular and sufficient supply of electricity, how, when and where would Ghanaians see improvement in their daily lives? The economy cannot improve when factories are shutting down and sacking workers for lack of electricity. With dumsor how can the economy improve?

Is he banking his hopes on the new oil in 2016? Did the oil in 2010 improve the economy and why did the government went to the IMF? People want solutions to dumsor now and not expecting miracle in 2016

Ghana is a holiday resort for rich Nigerians OK? So stop it and support the president to do his work. Ghana is not any different from the countries that collapsed after the world economy melt down which saw Spain and co borrowing. What did the HIPCC bail down do for Ghana? Is it not in private pockets? Please shut up with your Hypocrisy, I cannot stand you sometimes!

He said the country’s new oilfield, offshore Tweneboa, Enyenra and Ntomme (TEN) project, is expected to deliver its first oil in June 2016 with a production rate of 80,000 barrels of oil per day.

Ghana’s economy has been going through some economic turbulence since June last year. However, the situation seems to have gotten worse since the beginning of this year. Government’s expenditure has been a thorny issue in the fiscal struggles that the country faces. Expenditure on wages and salaries from January to May 2014 stood at GH¢3.8 million, higher than the budget target of GH¢3.7 million.

Many Ghanaians could not fathom why a government that had been blessed with so much revenue, in the form of high taxes, oil revenues, unprecedented loans, good export prices and foreign remittances, could be saddled with an unprecedented debt-to-GDP ratio of almost 70 per cent, depreciating currency, rising inflation, arrears in statutory payments, imminent collapse of the NHIS and other social intervention policies and now left with no option than a resort to the IMF for financial bail-out.

However, the Finance Minister said: “the economy would have collapsed by now if government did not put in place good measures to manage it well. Ghanaians need to give credit to the government for managing the shock.”

Mr. Terkper assured the business community and investors that the government’s three-year programme with the IMF worth over $900 million, will put the economy on the right track for accelerated growth in the medium to long term.

He said in addition to the financial assistance, the programme would offer technical support aimed at restructuring the economy for businesses to succeed.

This is one of those empty promises this useless Mahamah government has been using to keep Ghanaians hope alive.

Terkper believes the putative IMF 900 million dollars is going to solve our myriad of problems that even 20 billion dollars borrowed within six years of NDC catastrophic administration has not solved.

Thieves ! every buglar have a way of defense even when caught red-handed. Posterity will never forgive NDC and their principal masterplanners of evils . Rawlings, Mahama and their full - scale looters who have imposed this country into a mess that could take centuries of labour to heal. Ironically , they, who have killed in the name of looting, to practice such proportion of steal, never before in our country. Yesterday is gone but has its history. Never will such ingrates take our citizens for fools in their personal adventure of enriching themselves . Musuo Terkper, No more poisoned promises.

Isn't what you are supposed to be doing all along as your job? why do need you need credit for doing your job? such a mentality is what is killing the country. You mess things up and then finally you need credit for setting things straight? Not only that, you have not succeeded yet so give us a break. From Atta Mills on his part, for deceiving the country with his poor health and to mahama for stealing elections when you know you cannot manage an economy but took it from the people, you have your conscience to live by and to answer to God someday.

Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia

The New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) vice presidential candidate, Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia is questioning the relevance of the Senchi Forum held in May 2014 since the decisions arrived at are yet to be implemented.

Speaking on US based Sahara TV, Dr. Bawumia said the Mahama government’s Senchi forum was a façade. In May 2014, the government organized a national economic forum in which experts from the various sectors of the economy, political parties’ representatives and the leadership of labour unions met to deliberate on the effective ways of dealing with the nation’s socio-economic challenges.

The NPP however boycotted the forum, citing the late delivery of the invitation as the primary cause for their decision. The forum ended with the adoption of a 22 point communiqué, called the “Senchi Consensus.”

The Minority Members of Parliament (MPs) questioned the effectiveness of the consensus saying, it failed to address the core issue of corruption which is hurting the country’s economy.

According to Dr. Bawumia, although the NPP received heavy public backlash for critiquing the consensus, “the events after Senchi have proven us right.”

He said: “Senchi came out with a 22 point recommendation. Now you ask yourself how many of the 22 recommendation have been implemented.”

The former Deputy Bank of Ghana (BoG) Governor pointed out that one of the key recommendations out of the Senchi report was that taxes will no longer be increased in order to reduce the tax burden on the Ghanaians and also recommended that that new mechanisms should be devised to widen the tax net.

“This was the key recommendation out if Senchi. Immediately after that, they went for the budget and what happened was that they increased all sorts of taxes and in 2015, they have increased again, all sorts of taxes so this Senchi was supposed to be the considered opinion of our experts and now you’ve totally ignored that so what was it for?” he queried.

Dr. Bawumia stressed that the NPP really doesn’t “think it was a sincere effort to bring consensus in the management of the economy.”

Does the finance minister want to tell us Ghanaians that he does not know why he was given the position he holds? We expect him to drive the financial bus of Ghana so that it does not fall into a ditch. If he thinks driving it into a ditch because the road was slippery and he is now trying to drive it out of the ditch and needs to be parted on the back for trying to get it out of the ditch, then he has it wrong.

Secondly, does his statement on the new oil field output mean we could never manage our affairs without the new oil coming on board? What happened to the new find at the time you took over government? Did that help you? Wasn't that there when the bus was being driven into the ditch? What makes you think it is going to work this time? Please tell us what you are going to do differently this time around!

Ghanaians in the towns and cities already know the deal but not those in remote areas...the farmers. In simple terms let your men explain 'GHANA is mortgaged' against the future generations.... their children. THE MONEY OF GHANA IS SIPHONED OVERSEAS BY THE CURRENT GOVT.

Are you serious or kidding, Tekper? You are building castles in the air.Since you were appointed a finance minister you have designed,inoculated and hatched unjudicious economic policies resulting in closing of businesses and mass unemployment. Paradoxically, you are telling Ghanaians that there will be an economic boom very soon,when you and your economic team knew that very soon there would be redundancy and many people would be lay off from work.Tekper,don't throw dust into Ghanaians eyes. Your economic plans are having cosmological effects on our economy. There is Dumsor, free fall of our currency and mass corruption in the system.Don't deceive foreign investors with fog of data and you must go back to the drawing table and craft new economic policies that would take us from economic doldrums. Ghanaian economy has prospect and propensity to grow and put smile on everyone cheeks, but your incompetence and bad economic policies have resulted in dark consequences. You need to be fire and replaced by vibrant who can bring in fresh ideas to save from sinking economy.
