The fixed Ashanti/Akyem tribal Npp Party's election is nothing to writte about. Any idiots who have his/her money including FAT ugly arss can easily win such fixed election. The losers can advise themselves to proceed to Supreme Court , since that is what the Npp Motorbikes and Bungalows thieves knows best.

PEOPLE OF GHANA, WHY IS SUCH A PERSON IN PARLIAMENT? IS HE NOT DEMEANING THE LEGISLATIVE ARM OF GOVERNMENT? GET BBC NEWS!!!!!! OUT OF PARLIAMENT.

I'm sure this is not what the people of La Dadekotopon want their member of parliament to be. For most of them, I believe they feel ashamed to identify him as their MP, and rightly so, because they have seen better days before. Your mouthpiece in parliament says a lot about you, and they can no longer bear this shame. Very good and respectable member of parliament from La like the late HONOURABLE PETER ALA ADJETEY WILL BE MISSED. People of La Dadekotopon, redeem your good name by VOTING OUT THIS MISCREANT CALLED AMASA NAMOALE, and send a very decent person who represents and yearns to meet your goals and aspirations. YOU DON'T DESERVE TO LIVE WITH THIS DISGRACE PEOPLE OF LA DADEKOTOPON. VOTE AMASA NAMOALE OUT IN 2016.

What is Rawlings' alternative to multiparty democracy? Rawlings is a secondary school dropout who wants to be taken seriously. Is he a political theorist? Rawlings is a man without conscience. After killing so many people including murdering three high court judges, Rawlings refuses to lie low. Multiparty democracy has not been smooth for any country. What we know is that with time things improve!

Honesty requires that you mention the name of Hilla Limann since you mentioned Kutu Acheampong. You are a liar, and a dishonest person.

IF THIS HAD HAPPENED IN EUROPE OR AMERICA,HE AND KWASI PRATT WOULD HAVE CRITICIZED THAT,THEY WERE TREATED THAT WAY BECAUSE THE WERE BLACKS.
IF THEY WERE IN EUROPE OR IN AMERICA,EUROPEANS OR AMERICANS WOULD HAVE BEEN CIVILIZED AND HUMANE ENOUGH TO PUT THEM IN BODYBAGS AND TAKEN IN AMBULANCES TO THE MORGUE.

What dramatic evidence has emerged to warrant any re-examination of multiparty democracy? The truth is that, Rawlings has never believed in multiparty democracy unlike the Americans he is advising about it. It is amazing for Rawlings to think that he is the one to prompt the Americans to review their democracy.

KWASHIVI RAWLINGS WILL LONG ENOUGH TO SEE THE FRUITS OF HIS BAD AND EVIL SEEDS OF THE AFRC/P/NDC ENTERPRISE. THE MAN IS FEELING REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE AND CONFUSED, SEEING HIS AFRC/P/NDC PARTY MESSING UP THE NATION AGAIN, AFTER HIS OWN INCOMPETENT AND CORRUPT 19 YEARS' RULING GHANA. THE FACT IS THAT, IF THE SEEDS OF THE FOUNDING IS ROTTEN; USING STATE FUNDS TO START THE NDC PARTY, WITH TOP MEMBERS ENRICHING THEMSELVES AT THE EXPENSE OF GHANA, THE RESULT AND THE FRUIT WILL ALSO BE ROTTENESS IN CORRUPT, INCOMPETENT GOVERNANCE, WHICH HAS PLAGUED GHANA FOR 26 YEARS OF NDC RULE.

What is wrong with multi party democracy? Winner takes all is our own creation. " He is not one of us and ideological NDC is the problem. Allow institutions to work and uphold the rule of law and stop the blatant corruption.

Fancy the USA government taking lessons from this murderous school drop-out!! The idiot imagines he is some philosophical intellectual or international states man with a vision of how a state should be run, when in truth he is just an abongo with poor, if any, O-levels to his bastard's surname.
A few honorary doctorates and the fool thinks he is a professor.

In what capacity did the envoy meet with a former head of state?
Why does Rawlings criticism become news?
When did he realize that the multi-party government is problematic?
Is the alternate a one party rule a la Unigov?
Or is it a military junta? Or like China's communist party?
