  Even if things aren't so terrible in Ghana, exerting more pressure on rulers is always better for the cause of consolidating the cause of democracy, than praising leaders.

  Bagbin FreshAlban Bagbin, Majority Leader in Parliament
  
  Minority leader Alban Bagbin has disclosed that President John Mahama invited and thanked him for openly criticizing him.
  
  According to him, the president showed gratitude for his candidness and openness with the ills in his government.
  
  The Nadowli-Kaleo MP came under fierce attack by members of the ruling NDC after he openly chastised the president for surrounding himself with friends and cronies instead of appointing efficient people to work in his administration.
  
  He also rebuked the President for reneging on his campaign promises and reminded him of the danger in his actions for politicians from the northern part of the country.
  
  Speaking to Accra-based Asempa FM, many months after the episode, the former Health Minister said Mr. Mahama showed leadership in the heat of the moment.
  
  “He invited and thanked me for criticizing him. I know most of my own criticisms can be used against him in the 2016 elections but honestly, he has corrected most of the things I spoke about and I believe that he has done enough to merit a second term”.

  THAT IT IS VERY DICEY MATTER AT THE TIME HON. MAJORITY LEADER OF PARLIAMENT OF GHANA BAGBIN WAS NOT ASSIGNED OR GIVEN ANY RELATED POLITICAL APPOINTMENT AND HE SAW IT AT THAT TIME VERY PLAUSIBLE TO CRITICIZE H.E.PRESIDENT OF GHANA DR.JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA DRAWING CLEAR REFERENCE OF THE "NORTHERN TRIBAL FACTOR" AND LATER H.E.PRESIDENT MAHAMA "THANKED HIM". THAT THE ISSUE THEN TO DELIBERATE ON "THANK YOU WITH WHAT? AND WHY IT WAS NOT MADE KNOWN TO THE GOOD PEOPLE OF NDC, GHANA AND THE CIVILIZED WORLD?
  THAT TAKING COGNIZANCE OF THE ABOVE AND IN VIEW OF THE FACT ALSO THAT THE "NDC" AS POLITICAL ORGANIZATION IS "A HYBRID POLITICAL ENTITY COMPRISING ALL THE TRIBES OF GHANA AND ALSO CUT ACROSS MEMBERS OF THE FORMER DEFUNCT TWO (2) MAIN POLITICAL TRADITIONS OF GHANA AFTER THE UGCC THAT SPLIT INTO
  THE CPP AND UP TRADITIONS, THERETO.
  THAT PERSONALLY I CANNOT RESPECTFULLY AS AT NOW TELL OF THE TRIBE OF GEORGE BOATENG BUT DEFINATELY ONE THING THAT IS KNOWN IS THAT "HE IS NOT OF THE NORTHERN TRIBES", THERETO.
  THAT I AM RESPECTFULLY OF THE "EWE TRIBE" BEING DISCRIMINATED AGAINST< HOWEVER, AS A MAN OF PRINCIPLE WHO DO NOT PLAY OR ENGAGE IN THE "TRIBE GAME" BUT RESPECT ALL PEOPLE OF ALL TRIBES, PERHAPS THAT MY STRONG CHARACTERISTIC VALUES THAT IS/WAS THE MAIN REASON THAT I HAVE ACCEPTED AND AGREED TO SUPPORT H.E.PRESIDENT JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA WHEN HE SENT ME THE E-MAIL INVITATION ON NOVEMBER 29, 2012 BEFORE THE 2012 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS AND ACTUALLY DID HELP H.E.PRESIDENT JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA EVEN UPTIL TODAY.
  THAT IT IS MY RESPECTFUL AND HUMBLE SUBMISSION THAT AS OPPORTUNITY WAS GIVEN TO YOU AND CONTINUED GIVING TO YOU IT BEHOOVES ON BOTH OF YOU AND ALL OTHERS GIVEN POLITICAL APPOINTMENTS TO HELP CREATE AN ENABLING ENVIRONMENT FOR ALL TO ATTAIN ANY HEIGHTS THAT THEY CAN OR COULD, THERETO.
  RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED.

  WITH CORRUPT AND EASY-TO-BUY JOURNALISTS, WHO NEEDS FREEDOM OF INFORMATION. EVEN IF THE INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE, POOR JOURNALISM WILL STILL PRODUCE THE SAME "WHO SAID WHAT" TRASH TO READERS.

  What information again do we need and for what?we ve all the information on corruption against government officials and nothing came out of it,they re being shielded by judges and the government.Let stop pushing for useless conventions but rather get the EC to change our bloated voter register to ensure peace during and after 2016 elections.What can we do with the information if government ll issue white paper to cover up his people at the end of the day?why re we alway quick in signing on to international conventions when exiting ones re being violated?Dumsor is killing businesses and threatening out very existence and we re talking about right to information bill,what information don't we ve about power outages?i mean the liars from the president down to his power minister who's days re numbered?just give us a break
