The chiefs and people of Western Region must wise up a bit. They should no more allow themselves to be hoodwinked by the NDC crooks. John Mahama is sending most of the development projects to Accra and his native Gonjaland (in Upper West). Only NPP will will develop Western Region for you. In 2016 be smart ....vote ONLY for NPP!

QUOTE MAHAMA:

This, he (MAHAMA) said informed the decision to have a “mix of power sources so that we will not rely on only one mode in case anything happens.”

UNQUOTE MAHAMA.

TO TERKPER, I THOUGHT NATIONAL BUDGETS WERE REVIEWED ONCE ANNUALLY. VERY SOON, TERKPER WILL START REVIEWING GHANA'S BUDGETS THREE TIMES A YEAR - A CASE OF A REDUNDANT FINANCE MINISTER.

MY TAKE ON MAHAMA'S COMMENTS:

EVEN ONE SINGLE POWER SOURCE - HYDRO, GHANA LEADERS CANNOT MANAGE THAT, LET ALONE A MIX OF POWER SOURCES.

EVEN IF GHANA HAD TEN DIFFERENT MIXES OF POWER SUPPLY SOURCES, GHANA WILL STILL EXPERIENCE "DUMSOR" SIMPLY BECAUSE OUR LAZY GHANAIAN LEADERS ARE WELL KNOWN TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO MISMANAGE AND DESTROY ANYTHING UNDER THE SUN.

TAKE NKRUMAH'S STRATEGIC INDUSTRIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE FOR EXAMPLE.

GHANA'S SUCCESSIVE FUCKING LEADERS HAVE MISMANAGED THEM ALL TO DESTRUCTION, AND EVEN TO THIS DAY, THEY'RE STILL DIVESTING STATE PROPERTIES, MUCH OF THE PROCEEDS OF WHICH ARE LOOTED, AND SOME USED TO SERVICE GHANA'S MOUNTING FRAUDULENT LOANS OR DEBTS.

TODAY, GHANAIAN LEADERS ARE CRYING OUT FOR A 20-YEAR DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND SENCHI ACCORD NONSENSE, AND THE NEED FOR A STRONG INDUSTRIAL AND MANUFACTURING BASE TO PROP UP GHANA'S "LIMPING" HOPELESS ECONOMY - KWASIAFUOR.

GHANA'S FUCKING LEADERS CAN'T MANAGE EVEN THE BLACK STAR SQUARE AND TEMA OIL REFINERY THEY INHERITED FROM NKRUMAH, AMONGST MANY OTHERS.

IT'S VERY SIMPLE TO SIT IN A COZY AIRCONDITIONED OFFICE AND DRAW UP A HYPOTHETICAL 20-YEAR DEVELOPMENT PLAN, BUT IT DOES TAKE COMMONSENSE HARDWORKING LEADERSHIP TO MANAGE IT WELL TO ACHIEVE ITS LONG-TERM OBJECTIVES.

NKRUMAH'S STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN IS A PERFECT CASE IN POINT. WHERE ARE THOSE NKRUMAH ACHIEVED? MISMANAGED AND DESTROYED.

NOW, BACK TO THE GULF ARAB WORLD.

DUE TO THE SCARCITY OF RIVER WATER BODIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST, ALL MIDDLE EAST GULF (GCC) COUNTRIES USE ONE SINGLE SOURCE OF POWER SUPPLY - THERMO-ELECTRIC POWER GENERATION AND SUPPLY USING THEIR ABUNDANT NATURAL GAS AND OIL RESERVES, YET "DUMSOR" IS UNHEARD OF IN THE ARABIAN GULF, INCLUDING DUBAI WHERE MAHAMA LOVES TO VISIT AND EDUCATE HIS CHILDREN.

THE SAD FACT IS GHANAIAN LEADERS ARE SO USELESS THEY CANNOT MANAGE EVEN A PIG STY!

There we go again! The Western Regional Coord Council under the Regional Minister has a comprehensive development plan. It just needs government support to be implemented. Don't waste time and money, learn from SADA!

Sadly the government is yet to realize the important role the railways rehabilitation will play in the economic development of the nation.The collapse of the railways has contributed immensely towards the stagnation of the nation"s economy.I grew up to see the railways running at its peak and the positive impact it had on the economy.However past governments and present have cared less about the rehablitation of the railways.This shows clearly that our priorities for economic development are simply wrong.In truth it is an economic crime against Ghana.

I am for Ghana. I dont care what party is in power as long as patriotism is the motive of that who is in power I am fine. I grew watching my Father and other men toil to keep the Ghana railway corp. Most of us thought that was where we were all going to work in the future. Where are they. I cry every time I go home to Ketan. Pity.

As I have opined on many occasions on GhanaWeb, I reiterate the run down of the railway was deliberate attempts parties to stifle the industrial gallantry of the Western region. It dates back when Nkrumah's government was overthrown. During Nkrumah's reign the Railway Workers' Union was so powerful that it was not only used to steer the government's economic and political agendas, it was used by the opposition of the government in waning Nkrumah popularity. The Union became the agent which was used by the opposition, United Party, to fight the "Compulsory Savings' Act" policy of Nkrumah's gov't. The climax was when Nkrumah was away on a foreign trip and the opposition used his absence to incite the Union to go on strike; at the time his government was having serious economic challenges. Their action aggravated the economic situation and made the gov't to abandon the policy.

Ironically, subsequent leaders after Nkrumah stopped investing in the railways, and ran the system down, when they took power, ostensibly that eroded the powers of the Union. To fill the vacuum articulators are largely used to carry the heavy goods hitherto transported by the railways. This has had devastating effect on our roads. Not only that the general reward to the economy for using them is minimal compared to the inevitable greater value to the economy and our social travel by using the railways.

I pray that their request would be granted. A country without good railway system,is like a car with no fuel. The government can fix the railway system alone if they want to, they should stop wasting money on projects which can not survive in the long term and focus on Ghana railways. If the rails are fixed and movement of goods are channel through that sector,there would be less accidents on the road and also food stuffs from the remote areas will get to the market faster. So that farmers will get enough money to take care of their families. Which in the long run reduce the burden or reliability on government for everything. It can convey passengers from one location to the other which will reduce the traffic on the roads.

THE GHANAIAN CONSTITUTION MUST BE AMMENDED TO ALLOW THE REGIONS TO INITIATE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS RELEVANT TO THEIR PEOPLE. THATS HOW GHANA WILL DEVELOP AND DEVELOP FASTER.
