Akufo Addo has many faults and too many mistakes in his choice of associates as if his brain has been amputated of common sense and the culture of security by accepting all . He is the most popular politician today only because he is the lesser of the evils and still has the potential to actually move the country forward. Today the out spoken appear to be northerners and non Akans as Akans are still recovering and have learned to be over cautious in public statements least they be murdered or some other accident be organized by the ewes/northerners . Even here on this site and forum one can not help but notice any Akan who endeavors to speak the truth is immediately branded insane, mad or a thousand insults rained upon him , just look at the comments below the featured articles. Freedom is meant for only the ayigbe/pepeni , Gas , Adas but all Akans have no right of true expression without the vicious malicious attacks , just imagine what the situation is like in reality so the Bishops were right in encouraging people to speak . They hound the NPP from within using their spies , sleepers while continuing indiscriminately the onslaught from all calibers of cannon but fail to notice the campaign to remove NDC from there is not organized by the NPP. The fight has now taken to the underground and its been going on for the past 3 years from mouth to ear in privacy , NPP , PPP or any other opposition force need not go spend huge budgets in posters as the work has already been done. Any credible pollster today will see in all Akan areas especially among the Fantes that NDC can not get even 5% of the vote and the people are determined even if it means war not to allow NDC to stay.

AUTHOR: AKOSUA------A naturally resourced small country like Ghana is owing 100 billion dollars with bad roads dumsor and people drinking from rivers and streams and they are happy. Tekper and those happy people must be silly indeed. When can you pay one hundred billion dollars and progress as s country. When the borrowed monies are stolen by mahama and thieves. Just last week DVLA BOSS stole 6.9 million dollars for a project costing 3.6 million dollars and instead of collecting those monies tekper continues borrowing more and more and fools are happy. Where has reasoning gone to from Ghana. You see poverty clearly on the faces of Ghanaians and a small batch of idiots are misleading the people. Ghanaians wake up. NDC HAS NO FUTURE FOR TGE COUNTRY

AUTHOR: CATAPULT-------The crux of the matter is, the whole NDC party and gov't does not have a miniscule idea, infact, not a smidgen of knowledge about how to manage and grow an economy.
The record is there, twice, Ghana has gone HIPC from the unmitigated and unbridled scale of cluelessness, mismanagement and incompetence with the most recent, being what the Mahama NDC gov't has wrought into the governance sphere of this country.
Now when you combine that with the dangerously disturbing phenomenon of an indoctrinated philosophy, principle and fervor of thievery of the most nauseating and extremist kind, then you know as a country and people, you are in trouble, in very, very big trouble.
Ghana is toast as every Ghanaian can witness today across the length and breadth of this country, with the exception of the looters.
The Mahama NDC gov't has lost the governance plot, and this state of economic retrogression and stagnation can never be a competent, intelligent and visionary development model that puts human development and progress at the center of an effective and efficient functional democracy.
The Mahama NDC gov't lacks the capacity, the intellect, the vision, the competence and above all, the incorruptibility to manage anything in this country and they must be fired at the ballot box in 2016.

The problem with Ghana is the youth.Those politics are doing shady deals to benefit their families.Asiedu Nketia is a multi millionaire .His company has the sole contract to supply cement to the Kpong Dam construction.Wayome's case is an example.I learnt that there were some NDC crafts who were encouraging people to claim judgement debts.Look the circle interchange.The company assign the contract is known for inflating prices and paying top officials under hands.
In the next 30 years 90% of the current politicians will be dead,their children will be living of on the loot of their parents whiles the ordinary youth who will be adult made to feel the full force of hardship.The youth needs to mount up consistent violent free demonstrations in the case of Wayomi to cough every penny and for those involve in the payment to go to prison.

It makes me laugh when NPP propaganda machines hammer on Akans just for political gains. They fail to realise that in actual fact at every opportunity, the so called ashanti differentiate the akans and even call the Fantis names. It shows how hypocritical you NPP follower are but God knows tour hearts do not forget. Play politics and discriminate but do not forget it will not take you anywhere because of tour insincerity. I feel sorry fo Akuffo Addo. I think he is a true Akan and sincere but the ashantis, they are hypocrite and have always conducted themselves like they are better than all. Until NPP consider every Ghanaian as equal and stop the name calling Pepeni among others, no sane person with knowledge of history will take you seriously. I rest my case.

2016 BUDGET: THE “DEAD GOAT” BUDGET

COMMENTS BY THE NPP

The 2016 budget is the eighth budget of the NDC government since its assumption of office in 2009. Ghanaians were promised a ‘Better Ghana” in 2008 but going into the 8th year of government in 2016, this government has delivered one of the worst economic performances of any government in Ghana’s history. The record after the last seven budgets of the NDC is definitely not one of a “Better Ghana” than the one this government inherited in 2009. Rather, it is a record of a monumental waste of an historic opportunity to transform the economy of Ghana and improve the lives of Ghanaians. In fact, no government in the history of Ghana has had the amount of resources in terms of tax revenue, cocoa exports, gold exports, oil revenues and loans as this NDC government. The financial resources that have been available to this government are actually mind boggling.

In the eight years between 2001 and 2008, the total tax revenue collected was GHC 15.2 billion. In contrast, the government has collected a total of some GHC 90 billion in the last seven years (2009-2015) in taxes.

Ghana’s gold exports between 2001 and 2008 amounted to $9.0 billion dollars. Between 2009 and 2015, total gold exports have amounted to some $28 billion dollars. Government has therefore earned significantly more from the revenues associated with these exports in the last six years.

Ghana’s cocoa exports between 2001 and 2008 amounted to $7.4 billion dollars. Between 2009 and 2015, total cocoa exports have amounted to some $17.0 billion dollars. Government has similarly earned significantly more from the revenues associated with these exports in the last seven years.

Ghana has also become an oil exporter during the period of the NDC government. By the end of 2015, Ghana would have exported some $15.7 billion of oil in the last five years and earned some $4 billion from oil during this period. There were no oil revenues accruing from oil exports during the 2001-2008 period or for that matter in any period of Ghana’s history.

From independence in 1957 to 2008 Ghana’s total debt amounted to GHC 9.5 billion. In the last seven years alone under this NDC government, Ghana’s total debt has increased from GHC9.5 billion in 2008 to an estimated GHC99.0 billion at the end of 2015. The government has borrowed some GHC 90 billion in seven years! This is an unprecedented rate of accumulation of the public debt.

In dollar terms, this NDC government has borrowed the equivalent (at the time of borrowing) of some $37 billion in seven years!!!. This is a massive flow of resources into any economy by any stretch of the imagination.

The record therefore shows that this NDC government has had access to a massive flow of resources in the last seven years. Taxes, loans and oil revenues alone over the last seven years amount to an inflow of some GHC 200 billion in the last seven years. Under the 8 years of the NPP government from 2001-2008, taxes, loans and oil revenues alone amounted to some GHC 20.00 billion). In the last seven years (i.e. excluding 2016) this NDC government has had, in nominal terms, at least 10 times the resources that the NPP had in 8 years.

Notwithstanding all these massive resources in terms of tax revenue, loans, and revenues from gold, cocoa and oil exports amongst others, public finances are in such a bad state to the extent that we had to seek an IMF bailout. That is the record of the last seven budgets of this NDC government. It is a record of failure.

Today, despite all these resources at its disposal,

Government is in arrears with NHIS payments

Government is in arrears with GETFUND payments

Government is in arrears with DACF payments

Government is in arrears with payments to contractors

Government cannot pay teacher trainee allowances

Government cannot pay nursing trainee allowances

Government is in arrears for the payment of national service staff

Government is having trouble paying salaries of workers. Some workers have gone for 18 months without salary

The government has put Ghana in a state of high indebtedness as was the case under HIPC. Today the interest payments on Ghana’s debt is six times Ghana’s oil revenue this year. Ghana’s debt to GDP ratio at the end of 2015 would stand at 74% (beyond the threshold for debt sustainability.
Economic growth has slowed down to 3.5% this year
Ghana’s currency is the worst performing currency in Africa over the last two years.

Unemployment is high and increasing – Government has committed under the IMF program to lay off workers after the 2016 election. But they will not admit it today if you ask them.
Dumsor is the order of the day

Government has already committed under the IMF program to increasing utility tariffs. The PURC purported consultations with the public on the utility price increase is just a charade. They are as usual throwing dust into the eyes of Ghanaians.

The cost of living has gone through the roof and the 2016 budget offers no relief to the suffering Ghanaian people. It is insensitive to the plight of Ghanaians. It is a story of more taxes, more cuts in expenditure, more borrowing, higher utility tariffs, higher cost of living, less growth and more unemployment. In this regard we can refer to the 2016 budget as a “Dead Goat Budget”.

With the relatively small amount of resources available to the NPP in 8 years of government, the achievements were phenomenal. The economy was transformed from a low income HIPC economy to a middle income economy during that period.

With ten times more resources, what has the NDC done with all the resources under its control over the last seven budgets? Where did all the money go? The NDC has attempted to hoodwink Ghanaians by arguing that the money has been spent on infrastructure projects. The evidence however has exposed this propaganda. The evidence shows that notwithstanding the massive increase in the debt stock, capital expenditure as a percentage (%) of GDP has actually been on the decline from 9.1% of GDP in 2008 to 4.8% by 2014 . Capital expenditure as a percentage of GDP averaged 11% for 2001-2008 (without oil) while that for 2009-2014 has averaged 6% (with oil).

This means that contrary to all the government claims of an increase in infrastructure expenditure on projects all over the country, the reality is that Ghana’s expenditure on infrastructure is declining. The numbers indicate that relative to GDP, this government is investing about half what the previous government invested in infrastructure. It is in fact a travesty that Ghana before the discovery of oil was spending a higher proportion of its income on infrastructure investment than after the discovery of oil and the massive increase in the debt stock. This decline in investment in infrastructure runs counter to what one would have expected.

Indeed, according to the Managing Director of the IMF most of Ghana’s borrowing has been used for consumption and not for investment. One can only imagine what would have happened if each region were allocated $3 billion of the borrowed funds for infrastructure development. Just $1 billion dollars can construct 1000 kilometres of tarred road. We could have build a railway line from Accra to Paga easily. We could have solved the Dumsor problem in addition. It has been a major missed opportunity. This government should be doing so much more in the area of infrastructure given the resources it has had at its disposal.

While the NPP period of economic governance saw an increase in economic growth from 3.7% in 2000 to 8.4% by 2008 NDC on the other hand with the implementation of the last seven budgets has presided over a major decline in economic growth and an increase in unemployment.

In the 8 years of the NPP between 2001-2008 the average fiscal deficit as a % of GDP was 4.4%. In the last seven years (2009-2015) the fiscal deficit has averaged 8.1%, with three successive years of double digit deficits between 2012-2014 (the first time in Ghana’s history). Today under the IMF bailout program Ghana is trying to get to the 2008 fiscal deficit level of 6.5% which the NDC said was bad. Did we go or did we come?

The interest burden of Ghana’s debt is high and increasing. In 2015, the Interest cost of GHC9.57 billion was six times Ghana’s oil revenue. In 2016 the budget estimates that the interest cost of some GHC10.5 billion would also be 6 times Ghana’s oil revenue. The oil discovery has basically been compromised over the last seven years by the government’s recklessness and incompetence. The government’s willingness to borrow $1 billion on the international capital markets at an interest rate of 10.75% is a demonstration of recklessness, desperation and incompetence. We should recall that this is the same government that criticized the NPP government for borrowing at 8.5% on its debut bond in 2007 when interest rates were much higher internationally. While the 2007eurobond was obtained at a spread of 3.8% above US treasuries, the 2015 eurobond was obtained at a spread of some 8.4% above US Treasuries. What the government has done in this regard can be compared to taking a microfinance loan to refinance a bank loan. Yet instead of bowing their heads in shame, this government rather unbelievably attempted to pass it on as some sort of achievement.

The mismanagement of the exchange rate under this government is also a bitter legacy of this NDC government.

Today, notwithstanding the denial of government, it is now clear that the “dumsor” problem that has been inflicted on Ghanaians over the last four years is more of a financial problem than a technical problem.

What we are witnessing the management of this economy is a toxic mixture of incompetence and corruption (SADA, WOYOME, National Service, GYEEDA, DVLA etc) that has resulted in economic decline and an explosion of suffering across the country.

The 2016 budget is no different from the other seven budgets of this government. Full of rosy promises but ends up breaking those promises and impose hardship on Ghanaians. In this regard, the 2016 budget is no different from the 2012 election year budget. This government will certainly not abide by the targets set by the IMF in this budget. Those targets will be breached for sure as the government will inevitably succumb to election pressures. It is not a credible budget. We should rather focus on the NDC record to get a sense of what would happen in 2016. Unfortunately it is a seven year record of failure.

IT IS TIME TO BUILD A NEW ECONOMY: IT IS TIME FOR CHANGE

Under a Nana Akufo Addo led NPP Government, we are going to build a new economy. What is this New Economy?

It is not a dumsor economy

It is not an unemployment economy

It is not a Woyome Economy

It is not a GYEEDA economy

It is not a SADA economy

It is not a Judgment Debt Economy

It is not a Friends and Family Economy

It is not a Wahala Economy

It is not a “Dead Goat” Economy

It is not an economy where you have to go on strike before you get your salaries and allowances

It is not a Propaganda Economy

It is not a HIPC economy

It is not an economy where cocoa spraying depends on party affiliation

Not an economy where people and businesses cannot get bank loans

It is not a high tax economy

It is not an NDC, CPP, PNC, PPP, NDP or NPP Economy

THE NEW ECONOMY WE ARE GOING TO BUILD IS AN ECONOMY FOR ALL GHANAIANS IRRESPECTIVE OF TRIBE, RELIGION, AGE OR GENDER. WE ARE GOING TO BUILD A GLOBALLY COMPETITIVE GHANAIAN ECONOMY.

If you borrow and waste the money on projects which costs 10 times its actual cost and also share it to ur friends like RLG, just like the GHc 200million loan that was taken for SADA from Stanbic Bank, then it beats my mind that Ghanaians dont see this Mahama as a threat to they and generations to come security.

When gives you provision for the upkeep of your self and your family members (Ghanaians)and you misapplied the provisions he takes from you and replaces you with someone who has the family at heart. The provision that Allah has given Ghana is not properly utilized. How can it only be in your term that statutory payments are not coming Cf, MMDAS are not getting monies to work with, can you say you changing lives?.

Did you also read the budget? Or you relied on your cabinet and the financial minister.Iam asking this because you have not been able to sit down for a while all in the name of communist way campaigning,even though your challenger was declaired as insane by your general secretary to pave way for you to stand as unoppose.We have been told that you will get 100 percent.WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO IS TO REMOVE VOTES AGAINST YOU AS SPOILED VOTES. ALL THE ROUNDS YOU ARE DOING IS A COST TO THE NATION.DID YOU BUDGET IT IN THE 2015 BUDGET.The 2016 budget was only talking of we have started, we have completed 2 out of 200 school buildings,work in progress here and there,all of a sudden you had employed 504,000people,whilst government institutions are pleading to you to remove the embargo placed on employment.Can you tell the break down of those employed? Where? Which Employers? How many were each employer engaged ect,ect? THANK YOU.

The NPP MPs knew in advance that "the dead goat president" was not going to present anything than "dead goat budget" What is in this budget to be proud of? Even the theme itself is an admission of economic failure.

No need for anybody to listen to that useless budget. Ghanaians can feel the unprecedented hardship you and your incompetent administration has brought on them. Governance is not about talking too much and fake promises. Why are we owning billions and very little to show. Bring back all the stolen money and all will be well with Ghanaians.

Budgets are not listened to. They are read. Everything is documented and all MPS have copies. Mr prez can you show us what you said that Npp have misquoted or misrepresented you. All the villages you mentioned were going to have roads, did they have them? Let's have Woyome's money and talking achievements. How much did you waste t achieve them ? George Nettey, that disrespectful liar always brags about Ndc gargantuan achievements yet he is accusing E T Mensah of not doing anything. In other words, the government has not done anything. It's Ndc that must go not ET
