Don't you care that the running mate of the NPP is a 'pepeni'? Is he not the back bone of the NPP's campaign now? What about the NPP National Chairman? Please, make attempts to de tribalise comments.

Any time you open your mouth you spew out gabage. Why cant you learn to keep your mouth shut for once and have some respect. WHat have you done with the economy for the last six years, since you said that the Late Prez Mills gave you all the power to run the economy when he was alive? You have increased the national debt from GHS9 billion in January 2009 to GHS80 billion in January 2015. We are experiencing the most excruciating power crises in the history of the country with several promises which have all turned out to be hoax. Now where did you get this information about Ghana's economy being the most competitive on the continent? ou, your family, friends and party have destroyed our economy to the extent that pensioners are suffering the worst nightmare of our lives. I hope you and your family will not live long to enjoy the booty that you have looted from our dear country's coffers, and mark my words...... this will come to pass.

How can Ghana's economy be the most competitive in Africa in 2017 when at the moment businesses are closing down because of lack of power supply?

Are his ministers and advisers deceiving him and is he asking the right questions and getting sincere briefings? Perhaps he is deluded as he says dumsor is temporary.

So isnt there anybody at all in the NDC circus who has the courage to tell this man Mahama to keep quiet and stop giving vain promises?

Are they not aware that they have become a laughing stock? Are they not aware that they have reduced the stature of the once great Ghana to an insignificant typical Third World basket case with their silly antics?

His Excellency President Mahama, Ghana belongs to all of us but please, please, please, we beg you, spare us further international embarrassment. Just shut up!

If mahama outlines the plans he has in place to project us into a sound economy, fine. But to constantly promise without any foundation is a big embarrassment for all of us to have our leader continuously shaming himself.

John Mahama is a curse on Ghana- because of his corrupt behavior and evil intentions before he was selected as "President" the favor of God has turned away from his government. Ghana has been struggling since he assumed power and the economy is declining on a daily basis. GHANAIANS MUST WISE UP AND VOTE HIM OUT. ENOUGH OF HIS FAKE PROMISES, ENOUGH OF HIS CREATE LOOT AND SHARE.

This man is a fucking joke. He has no idea about econometrics nor does he have any idea how to make a country endowed with plentiful resources like Ghana create wealth from within.

He has his blind faith in mere $900MILLION USD that they have gone to borrow from the IMF. Who actually advises him on economic matters and why is he the President of Ghana , if he can't see the obvious opportunities we have within the country to make and create wealth for us. He is a FUCKING JOKE.

Yes you are right because Nana Bawumia will do the damage control in 2017. All hope is not lost our beloved country will work again by the grace of God.

This president is just "playing to the gallery",and only fools and the gullible will fall for it.Now we know better,all these gimmicks won't work,we've got our minds made up already.Sorry,Johnny ,too little to late,you've done what you can,let somebody else come with a different approach and strategy.I don't want to say you're not up to the task,but it's very visible and apparent that,you've been overwhelmed by the job."Once beaten,twice shy",Ghanaians know better now and you're already a goner.

Sorry to say, but governance in the country has become a joke and it is sickening.
On what basis is President John Dramani Mahama making this statement? What metrics is he looking at? What indices is he looking at? What does he mean and understand by the economy?
Does Ghana even have an economy under his NDC administration for it to be competitive and for it to be described as the most competitive in 2017?
There is clearly a disconnect and intractable confusion in the analysis of the Mahama-led NDC gov't, and Ghana needs a change in 2016.

Mr Mahama,
For the first time in my life as a Ghanaian, I have lost total confidence in a President mostly because of (1) incompetence in economic management (2) outrageous utterances devoid of common sense (3) inability to manage the tongue-lashing staffers

In '08 when the NPP left power there was much more hope than we have as a nation today. Remember I voted NDC in last 3 elections but never again.

Our prospects as a nation have worsened though in the last few years, you have received $13.6B in oil revenues no other govt had access to

We could have done a lot with this money, without talking about increases in tax revenues, gold and cocoa prices, loan portfolio etc. It begs the question that what have you done with these funds?

In 2016, Ghanaians (at least the ones concerned about their kids future) will have to ask themselves if they are better off under NPP or NDC and it appears the answer is obvious, at least from where I am standing

This govt has lost us and I can wait to cast my one vote

You said it right Pres Mahama: The IMF money is to "restructure our debt profile". That TWISTED phrase simply means " We borrowed for the purpose of settling our debts" and NOTHING else!!! No development will come from that thoughtless economic decision!!

ONLY fools will buy that political rhetoric. Enough of the propaganda, because PROPAGANDA can not help develop the country so stop it. We've had enough of that!! We simply borrowed to STABILIZE INTEREST PAYMENTS ON OUR DEBTS.

Ghana is in the hands of clueless fools: we're even paying interests on a Chinese LOAN which is not released fully to us, but Payments made against that yet-to-release loan is more or equal to the payments made to the Chinese. How did we get this LOW?
