If you association the name of our president with any good deed and thanks him personally, the he must be prepared to take blame for any calamity. Ask Asaga if Obama will wiat for cameras and announce to the whole world items worth piano. Why make politics with death of citizens?

NPP is only useful in opposition. Why change a good tool? So let's keep NPP permanently in opposition.

So a good government waits for disaster to happened before he shakes hand with pictures before he does the right time. Stupid

A patriotic Ghanaian replying to a misplaced criticism of Busia and NPP hater writes:

What tribalist trash! How old were you in 1969? Busia’s government in terms of structured and sustainable national development is still one of the best in the annals of Ghana’s troubled history. Of course people like you will never see any good thing in anything any Akan does in Ghana.

1. Busia’s Rural Development agenda has never been equaled and it will take someone with courage and foresight to come anywhere close to it. It was Busia’s government that extended pipe-borne water to most villages in Ghana, including some really wretched ones in the Volta Region. That is what led to the elimination of guinea worm (which was causing annual havoc in most parts of the country), in Ghana.

2. His government also wiped out cholera, which is now causing havoc in our national capital.

3. The construction of polyclinics, district hospitals and health posts was meant to free Korle Bu and Okomfo Anokye Hospitals for research, teaching and the treatment of more serious cases.

4. Mass-scale feeder road construction began with Busia, and I witnessed it at Akatsi, Sogakope, Hohoe, Ho Dome, Ho Banque, and many other places, even in the Volta Region.

5. Busia’s cottage industry programme would have created employment avenues in most rural districts in Ghana, to curtail the now unbearable and uncontrollable urbanisation with names like Sodom and Gomorah, Agege, etc, with the resultant “ghetoisation” in almost every town in Ghana.

6. Ever heard of Odorkor/Dansoman Housing Estate development, with replicas in all the regional capitals, Adeweso at Koforidua, Low Cost at Winneba, etc? It was Busia’s idea.

7. How about the major sewerage and drainage system in Accra, which would have connected all homes to a central sewerage system? The remnants of the abandoned trenches are still around.

8. Your reference to education is really dishonest and illiterate. Up until 1969, about 60% of the lecturers in the three original universities of Ghana were foreigners. Their emoluments were paid in dollars. Their families were entitled to at least one paid holiday a year. It was Busia who began the “Ghanainisation” of university lecturers. Everyone who graduated with a first class or second class upper was sent away through Ghana government, Commonwealth or specially arranged American scholarships, to pursue MScs and PhDs and return to Ghana, to lecture. Had the idiot Acheampong not derailed that policy, Ghana’s universities would have been among the leading universities of the world. Many of those who were trained under that scheme are now professors in major universities of the world. Quite a number of those who returned to Ghana have been vice chancellors and some are deans!

9. In 1970, all three universities together had an intake of less than 13,000 students, but the state was still struggling to give everyone free education. Can you imagine what the situation would be today, with 30 or 40,000, when 50% of the state’s treasury is looted and shared among a handful of families? Busia’s loan scheme opened the doors to people like you who were not so bright, but still could go to university, on a loan and pay later, which is what pertains everywhere in the world. What is wrong with that?

10. The JSS system that was botched by your murderer tribesman was meant to transform Ghana’s education policy and make it relevant to national development with vocational s and technical schools and more polytechnics. It began with pilot schools at Kinbu in Accra and others in Kumasi, Takoradi, Cape Coast, and other regional capitals. Their products were to be monitored over a seven year period as teachers were gradually upgraded or specialised, to take over the primary and middle schools. Can you think of any country in Africa that has such a system?

11. Did you ever hear of “two rabbits=equal to one cow in one year?” It was a programme of rabbit rearing, which took off in many parts of Ghana like a storm. It was meant to supplement our low protein intake as a nation. If your low life compatriot Newlove Mammatah had not mismanaged the programme as your lot usually does, it would be changing lives in Ghana today. It was under that programme that poultry farming ballooned in the Central and Ashanti Regions only to be destroyed by your armed tribesman.

12. The Aliens’ Compliance Order enabled many Ghanaians to go into trading in every corner of Ghana. See how the Chinese now control everything in Ghana, including the trade in “buronyi weewu.” The Nigerians are back with a vengeance, buying everything in sight, with cash! And so are the Lebanese. Under the programme, long-standing foreign resident were supposed to regularize their stay. Like the Asians in Uganda, because they used their status to smuggle diamonds and hard currencies out of Ghana, they did not bother. Do you really fault a leader of a bankrupt nation for trying to safeguard local commerce, in order to better the lot of his people?

13. Appollo 568? Hahaaa Have you heard about the rot in the NSS today? It is the same with the civil service. That was what Busia was trying to curb. After Kotoka and Harley filled the civil and public services with every middle school drop-out from the Volta Region, they were as over-bloated as the clueless Mahama has done today. Anybody who takes over in 2017 will have to trim down the public purse, if our overlords the IMF do not do it now.

Come on buddy, if you really hold a PhD in something worthwhile, there are records in the archives that you can research and educate yourself about Ghana, instead of just swallowing the socialist nonsense hook, line and sinker
Good day!

Dr. Busia as Ghana's Prime Minister did in 18 months more than JJ Rawlings did in 19 years and more than JA Kufuor did in 8 years. Dr. Busia may have been over ambitious for his quest for power, but he proved his merit when he got it.

In all of our political history, only two leaders, Dr. Nkrumah and Dr. Busia are the true sons of Ghana - men with vision and foresight who made the greatest socio-political contribution to the modernity of our country. They have no equals.

SGT .this is what is destroying our nation . Pause for a moment and ask yourself that until the president "donate " items to our hospitals how do our hospitals equipped and resourced . We have been brain washed to think if government is performing its constitution duty then the government is doing as a world of good . In Ghana even if a community through self help construct a pit toilet then a minister of state goes to commission . In politics it is said ignorance or illiteracy is strength to the ruling class . If the citizens are kept in ignorance they don't demand accountability and service from the ruling class . Their political power then becomes absolute and it said absolute power corrupts absolutely . This is exactly what is happening in Ghana . In the developed democracies
what happens in Ghana in terms of naked corruption and stealing don't happen . No matter who will be involved that person will be jailed . God will save Ghana . Amen .

I don't even get this news. Shouldn't these government hospitals be already well equipped to accommodate all patients, so why the special donations? Understood,the funding by government of victims bills, but why is this news? The government officials ineptness caused this disaster and then they turn around and act as if they are the heroes. I hope the victims sue the butts of those responsible for the disaster for millions of cedis.

Go and see how Prez Mahama of Ghana has transformed Gonjaland with Ghana money just within the two and half years that he has been in power. Every town, village and hamlet in Gonjaland has received a facelift with new facilities such as roads, toilet facilities, markets, mosques, good quality water projects, electricity extension projects, etc. The question is did J. J. Rawlings do the same thing to Voltarians when he was in power for twenty years? What about Atta Mills. The good old Prof was in power for three and a half years yet he was not selfish to only concentrate on his people in Ekumfi Etuam and the central Region but rather his whole thought was for the general good. No wonder under the care of Prez Mills, Ghana achieved a growth rate of 11%, single digit inflation and the smooth implementation of the Single Spine Pay Policy where newly recruited police personnel received the nominal equivalence of 500dollars as monthly salary. Compare these achievements to the nepotism and selfish policies of the Mahama government that has crippled the Ghanaian economy. I really weep for Ewes and Fantis whose votes brought Mahama to power and yet are the hardest hit by the current hardship prevailing in the country.

Please Mr. President, Kindly contract Chinese to desilt the Odor River and other chocked gutters. Chinese are very competent, capable and have the resources to carry out these task. What we are doing now I think is a joke. Collecting silt and debris and put right on top of the drain walls and when it rains, it falls back again into the drain again. Are we serious as a country? Is that how to desilt a drain which causes serious floods which kills people anytime it rains. Stop giving drugs and clean our gutters because no disaster, no drug
