Why are they bent on having Mahama relinquish power when 2016 is just at the corner? Use what you saying about him as your weapon to convince voters and stop spewing trash all the time. Just advise Mahama to demolish Kuffour's house built on water way or else he loses power.

This disasters is problem to the country and solutions is needed at this time. Former President Rawlings has spoken with his little solution , so is Mr. Nduom and President Mahama, they all suggested that, the structures around the waterways must be demolish . So , my question is, where is Nana Akanfuo Binaddo Buhari? When is he coming out with his ideas? is the demolishing going to affect Nana and his Ashanti/Akyem tribal Npp party's vote in 2016? is Nana Binaddo scaring that the demolishing is going to affect his tribes men and women more so he Nana intentionally quiet over this serious matter bedeviled the Nations that he Nana wanted to rule? when NANA BINADDO will open his mouth and talk? we live to see 2016.

WHAT DID THE USELESS NDC DO ABOUT THIS SITUATION AFTER 26 YEARS OF USELESS RULE?
HON. PETER ALA ADJETEY WILL NOT STOOP THIS LOW. VOTE AMASA NAMOALE OUT OF PARLIAMENT, AND GET SOMEONE WHO BEFITS THE POSITION.
People of Ghana, Dangerous politicians like Amasa Namoale who have no idea that democracy involves divergent views, but all aimed at one goal; making Ghana better must not be entertain in our country's politics. Amasa Namoale does not know this because he doesn't think about Ghana. For him, it is all about SELFISH AMBITION. Hence, his unpatriotic comments on issues bothering on Wayome and his incessant perpetuation of tribal discrimination. I know the people of La dadekotopon electoral area can do better. The people of La in General have offered one of the best politicians Ghana has ever had in the person of PETER ALA ADJETEY, and I believe they can do it again. Amasa Namoale is far below the standard one expect from a politician from La. I therefore appeal to the people of La dadekotopon to kick this sub-standard parliamentarian out, come 2016, and give us someone who will reflect what they stand for and believe in. May God bless all of you at La dadekotopon, and La in general. NY3 YIWALA DON MINY3MIM3I.

You are very stupid to say this.if tax payer money is used to pay an officer to do his job and the job is not done without any meaningful explanation then the officer has to resign or be sacked.this nonsense can't happen in America.the solution is sacking the incompetent people so that competent people will come and do the job.mahama is not doing his job because as a leader you don't have to sit down for a problem to come before you try to solve it.if your mother was part of the victims I hope you will side with Mathew opoku.if they can't solve our problems then they should resign.

The amount is in fact, some $660 million and not coming from the world bank, but instead a duly approved loan by parliament coming straight from the Export Import Bank in the USA and the Standard Chartered Bank. Now, if parliament approved loan, then that said loan is utilized appropriately always. If not, then we have to hold the whole parliamentarians to account and not only the government of the day.

They are all the same so far as an electorate is concerned. Seeking power to make money, no matter what they say. They have forgotten their contract with us and we perish as a consequence. Oko going is not enough. We need a new political landscape. We must start letting all such clowns know that they are not getting our votes come Dec. 2016. We should vote out the current goverment and MP's of all parties presently sitting in parliament. We need a fresh social contract with a new lot. We have to start discussing the details of our contract now spelling out our civic, executive and legislative obligations. This lot can not help us.

Why on earth has NPP got people who don't think properly? Is it to do with the food they eat or are they all on drugs? If President Mahama has to resign because floods, then I'm afraid what the hell President Bush didn't resign over Katrina. Even Japanese PM didn't resign over the fukotsima nuclear disaster let alone the PM of Nepal in the recent earthquake. Common sense is failing Ghanaians in every sphere of our society.

If majority fools who are insulting the comments made by the MP - Opoku Prempeh have a deceased among the dead, most of you would have confined with the MP's. The true fact of this issue is that in March 2012, late Egya Atta Mills was honored with a dinner in Washington DC by the Business Council for International Understanding an umbrella body for American Businesses when a loan of $795 Million Dollars had sought for, with $595 Million Dollars going to the rehabilitation of the Western Rail Lines and $200 Million Dollars going to the Accra Drainage System.

The then Minister of Finance, Mr. Duffour and Deputy Minister of Transportation, Ms. Dzifa Attivor signed for Ghana Government. The contractors for the project were Conti Engineering and General Electric whose Managing Directors signed for their respective Companies.

Now the big question is if the loan money was secured, what was done with the money? As usual it is resting in some individuals foreign accounts elsewhere? African governments will go free of this issue and not civilized countries and fools who do not think outside the box will always side with corrupt officials and not thinking about the well being of the weaker links in the society.

At Least 5 Are Killed and 12 Are Missing as Storms Ravage Texas and Oklahoma

AUSTIN, Tex. — Louie Bond called it a tsunami, a surge of water that began late Saturday night with torrential rains in Texas’ Hill Country and raced down the bluff-lined valley carved out by the Blanco River.

By the time it reached the vacation getaways and retiree cabins overlooking the river at Wimberley, some 30 miles southwest of here, the surge was 40 feet high, sweeping away bridges and homes and ancient stands of cypresses as if they were bath toys.

One of the homes held 36-year-old Jonathan McComb, his wife and two children and two other families from their Corpus Christi hometown — nine in all, including at least three children. On Monday, Mr. McComb was in a San Antonio hospital with a collapsed lung and broken bones.

The other eight were missing, along with four others from the area, apparently lost in the torrent that capped weeks of rain and violent weather across Texas and Oklahoma. The weekend’s weather left at least five people dead in the two states, and more heavy rain and tornadoes pummeled Texas on Monday.

“It had been raining here for weeks, a lovely wet spring after years of drought. The ground was saturated,” said Ms. Bond, a magazine editor and former editor of Wimberley’s newspaper. “The cypress trees along the river are stripped down to bare toothpicks.”

Wimberley and nearby San Marcos, a pair of Blanco River towns off the Interstate 35 corridor linking Austin and San Antonio, appear to have been the hardest-hit towns in the United States. But in Ciudad Acuña, a Mexican city of about 140,000 on the border due west of San Antonio, a tornado that leveled blocks of buildings at sunrise Monday killed at least 13 people.

In Oklahoma, weekend storms killed two people: a firefighter in Claremore, near Tulsa, who was swept into a storm drain Sunday, and a Tulsa woman who died Saturday after her automobile hydroplaned on a highway.

In Texas, Gov. Greg Abbott added 24 counties on Monday to at least a dozen that were declared disaster areas earlier this month because of weather. Forecasters predicted more rain and severe weather across the state the rest of this week.

On one level, this spring’s rains have been a blessing, all but obliterating an acute drought that had gripped part of the state for five years. But the weather has also been punishing. Officials recommended on Monday that outside Houston, families leave about 400 homes below Louis Creek Dam, which was said to have been weakened by steady rain and at risk of failing.

Mr. Abbott, who flew across the Blanco River valley on Monday, said at a news conference that the damage there was “absolutely devastating.”

In Hays County, which includes San Marcos and Wimberley, an overnight curfew imposed Sunday was renewed Monday as residents and workers began assessing the damage to at least 1,200 homes, including at least 350 in Wimberley that were destroyed. San Marcos authorities said one unidentified man had been killed Sunday.

“I’ve been here for 20 years and I’ve never seen anything like this,” said Will Conley, a Hays County commissioner. “Bridges that have never seen water flow over them had 20 feet of water over them.”

“We’ve had worse flooding in the general area,” he said, “but we have not seen a surge of the river to this degree in recorded history.”

In the picturesque country around Wimberley, the Blanco River’s banks are sprinkled with bed-and-breakfasts and rental cottages. Last weekend, Mr. McComb, his 33-year-old wife, Laura, and their sons, Leighton, 4, and Andrew, 6, were staying in one home with two other Corpus Christi families, Ralph and Sue Carey and Randy and Michelle Charba.

To their west, a cloudburst in the Blanco River’s upper reaches dumped at least 10 inches of rain late Saturday, unleashing a flash flood.

Not long ago, said Ms. Bond, the magazine editor, local officials initiated a so-called reverse-911 system, intended to make mass telephone calls to local residents in the event of an emergency. “Everyone’s phone went crazy,” Ms. Bond said. “It was a massive effort to call people, to wake people up and get people out.”

Whether Mr. McComb and the other guests got a call is not known. Bert Cobb, a Hays County judge, told The Associated Press that floodwaters peaked about 4 a.m. Sunday at more than 40 feet. He said witnesses saw the McComb house slip from its foundation into the river, then smash into a bridge.

Mr. McComb’s father, Joe McComb, told The Corpus Christi Caller-Times that his son managed to reach the river’s banks despite being hit in the head by debris. Mr. Cobb, the county judge, said that only pieces of the house had been recovered.

Anytime these people speak, even we the illiterates in common sense are better. No wonder Gabby O. Darko described them in the manner he did, and really one is left with nothing done to go by Gabby.
It is very clear that there is no shroud of shyness and responsibleness in these people and one also wonders how our country is becoming with them as leaders, law makers with this kind of irresponsible talks.
If one may ask; who and who was sacked or resigned during the May 09 disaster and why can't we be responsible in the way we talk ?
As leaders, we should be responsible when and where it is possible. I know Napo can do better and should have been responsible here as well.

Napo has confirmed Kwesi Pratt Jnr saying that, "our educated illiterates are our country's problem" and I believed my great grandfather who could not read and write wouldn't have been so irresponsible in this and would have suggested we come out with hoes to create some small waterways and possible remove humps along the waterways for free flows.
No one can hold God for the rains but can hold people when acids are poured on others, when threatened to kill others, when invincible forces illegally prevent legal officials from doing their work, when you're living with murderers ( Kuffour, Mpianim, etc), yet you don't want to hand them over, and on and on.
These are things at hand we handle, Napo you have more to talk of. My great grandfather would have said he can't read or write, but will not speak without at least a little "common sense".

The Accra mayor must resign as a matter of principle. I don't know which fools conferred the best mayor award on him. God has revealed their sycophancy. Even the gutters leading to The AMA offices are chocked and smelly.

Check your facts very well before you comment.the flood in Texas was not as a result of choaked gutters that was not distilled by the state mayor.

I think NPP has to show an example by asking Nana Addo to resign as the flag bearer. If he cannot manage only two of his party executives, what's the guarantee that he can manage the Nation's problem

when Vanderpuye was doing his work by demolishing building you called for his sack and played politics with it. Now you are the same people calling for his head for not doing his work, if we don't stop this hypocrisy and playing politics with vital issues Ghana will continue to fail irrespective of the government in power.
