KEEP ON WITH THE GOOD JOB MAHAMA AND LEAVE THE BLIND MEN TO CRITICIZE YOU.
Brazil is where over invoicing is accepted
there is a long priority list. Considering the state of Ghana's economy, I would say priority should be given to projects that would result in creating value,invest in some infrastructure that can enhance security by encourag ...

Our peacekeeping military does not need even a cutlass; they have never defended this country. All they did in the past was coup, coup and more coup.
Listen to the idiot !
YOU ARE 100% RIGHT JOE. FROM HISTORY THEY VE NEVER PROTECTED THE COUNTRY FROM ANY AGGRESSORS AND WHENEVER A DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED IS BEING OVERTHROWN EITHER THEY ALL SUPPORTED OR RAN AWAY.
You don't make sense, KOFI, you seem to have missed your education my brother.
Another misplaced priority.Old outdated aircraft that has no relevance to modern warfare.

Do you need a machine or an equipment for your business, then contact us today. Email: cadfab.engineering@gmail.com
Our enemies are corruption, nepotism, tribalism, inward-lookingness, selfishness, greedyness, dumb and plain stupidity - we cannot fight such social ills with fighter jets.
Any THINKER left in Ghana ?????????
You are absolutely right.75 million dollars for five war planes can get us 25 mega watts of solar plant built to solve dumsor.
NDC will only do deals that they can have their cut thats all Mahamma is a crook
WHY? We can even raise funds to fix our infrastructure to improve commerce, but we'll buy war planes from Brazil. Why are we so stupid?
Papa JJ advice mahama aircraft from brazil buy from either Russia or American but not third world country like us

Who in the Mahama family made that deal? The proper assessment of defense requirements would point to a few heavy attack helicopters of the Russian type.

When is Brazillia going to buy from us?
The design remembers me on WII planes! I thought we should go forward nach backwards. To build a superior Air Force in West Africa u need superior planes like the Eurofighter, Mirage2000 or Su-30 for example.
Are you afraid that another country will take over Ghana because you are doing nothing? No water and no power. Do we really need all these shits. Allow another country to take over or resign.
By how much is Mahama padding the price this time? When you cannot light the airport you want to buy fighter aircraft!
