Some people are either stupid, stomach politicians or politically blind. Is this guy not aware of all the nonsense going on in this primaries? Let us just try to be honest for just a moment. Can he count of the irregularities and confusion at so many places in this primaries? Give praise where it is due and speak aginst when things go wrong. That is the way to democracy.

Ghana is paying six times its total oil revenue as interest on the country’s total public debt stock; that’s the computation done by former Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.

“We’ll reach GHC99billion by the end of this year,” the Running Mate to the Flagbearer of the biggest opposition Party said in a post-budget presentation interview with Richard Sky of Citi FM.

“The interest on this debt alone is going to be six times Ghana’s oil revenue,” Dr Bawumia said.

“When we found oil, we were happy that we found oil, but the borrowing of this Government has compromised the whole oil discovery; you need six times our oil revenue just to pay interest on the debt, not even capital, so, it is a really sad development,” he complained.

KWAKU KWARTENG (MP).
SOURCE: myjoyonline.com---------
“The President misled everybody,” Kwaku Kwarteng said of the comments made by the president on the campaign trail in the Volta Region yesterday.

Speaking on Joy FM’s Super Morning Show Friday, Kwaku Kwarteng stated that out of the more than GH¢100billion debt burden the country is currently saddled with, the Kufuor government contributed only GHC 9.5billion after it exited power in 2008.

Picking out the NDC government’s track record on borrowing since 2009, Kwaku Kwarteng pointed out that loans approved by parliament have been mismanaged as follows:

In 2009, government borrowed GH¢3.6bn but spent GH¢2.5billion on development expenditure.

In 2010, government borrowed GH¢4.3bn but spent GH¢3.1billion on development.
In these two years, government used an average of about 25% of borrowed money on consumption.

“That was not good enough….but you probably would want to pardon the President.”
But expenditure patterns worsened after 2010, the Obuasi West MP observed.

In 2011, government contracted GH¢6billion in loans but spend only GH¢3.7billion on development. About 40% went into questionable expenses.

In 2012, out of GH¢11.5billion it borrowed, government used only GH¢4.9billion for development programmes. About 67% was wasted on consumption, Kwaku Kwarteng claimed.

In 2013, government used only 28% of the GH¢16billion it borrowed for development expenditure.

In 2014, only GH¢6billion was used for development programmes out of the GH¢27.7billion government borrowed.

“When a country borrows and consumes we are heading for trouble”. Kwaku Kwarteng argued that government borrowed monies to pay debts.

“They come to parliament, borrow money and before you know a large chunk is gone into recurrent expenditure,” the Obuasi MP said.

Ghana’s debt sustainability has been a major concern for rating agency Moody's which has rated the country’s credit-worthiness as very poor.
Moody has given Ghana a B3 negative.

The Minority has demanded that government accounts for $23 billion out of the $27 billion contracted under the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government in six years.

The NPP claims only $3.42 billion went to development projects, a testament to what it described as “unbridled thirst for borrowing” and misplaced priorities.

Everyone knows NDC history. You used to acclaim candidates by raising their hands up. Then you copied NPP by going to congresses. NPP expanded the electoral college in 2014 only for the NDC to also expand to cover all card bearing members that also include NPP sympathisers. Incompetent copy cats.

If what the reporter is saying is true before GOD, then thanks to ' above'.We need peace in the up coming 2016 general elections. This shows a reasonable amount of understanding what democracy means. It's not about violence and votes by electorates, but by peace and votes. Lets all embrace peace in every national activity in Ghana.
