  Ivor Greenstreet said directly to President John Mahama and Vice President Kwesi Amissah-Arthur that: “You don’t care”.
  
  “Nobody is feeling your better Ghana”, 
  
  In the full glare of the President, Vice President, former President Jerry Rawlings, and thousands of leaders and supporters of the NDC, a defiant Greenstreet said: “…Currently nobody, I mean nobody is feeling your better Ghana.”
  
  “Continuous ‘dumsor dumsor,’ corruption from top to bottom, left right inside out, and all the challenges you are facing [are] suffocating the Ghanaian people.”
  
  He added: “We would have thought that perhaps you may have used an occasion like this to discuss policies, programmes and solutions to all the difficulties we are facing as a nation, but no, you chose today to share your Christmas gifts with each other.”
  
  “Ghanaians are not happy at all. This ‘bronya’ is dry. Too too dry,” he told the President, adding: “The most painful thing of all is that you don’t care.”
  
  “NDC continue, we are watching you, Ghana is watching you, do what you want to do, we also know what we’ll come and do…make sure you’ll elect executives who will be able to steer your parties affairs when you are in opposition. Boys abr3.”

  Power generation will still be cheaper if you sign genuine contracts. How can Algeria pay $160 million for 8 turbines and Ghana ends up paying $1 billion for 10 of the same turbines. Time will tell.

  Mahama is so heartless, wicked and corrupt that he wouldn’t blink stealing from a helpless orphan. Please read the following:
  Ghana’s President Hurls Insults At Obasanjo At African Forum In London-bloomberg
  
  There was near pandemonium and confusion at the Annual Global African Investment Forum held in Westminster, Central London after a heated exchange between Ghana’s President John Mahama and former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo degenerated into open insults.This was due to General Obasanjo openly accusing the Ghanaian president and his government of blackmailing and collecting bribes from Nigerian businessmen in Ghana, buying numerous properties in Nigeria and South Africa and financially contributing 12 million dollars to Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign last year. This infuriated President Mahama who lost his temper and pointing his finger, called General Obasanjo an ” idiot” and a “silly buffoon”.It took other ministers present as well as Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni to calm tempers and usher President Mahama to a nearby room. The forum, which takes place from 1st to 3rd December is attended by African Heads of States Ministers, Private equity firms and investors to discuss opportunities for investment and development in African Economies.

  Professional thieves in tie. Inflating government purchases for personal gains at the expense of the nation. This is what I called good governance.
  There's is one more thing I must advice you kwaaaa Donkor,,, before u guys leave office, pls make sure to loot Ghana to its core , just like what Jonathan did in Nigeria to teach Ghanaians a lesson.
  Plato once said and I quote,,, if u are indifferent to politics, you end up been ruled by wicked men.
  After all at the end of the looting, all u need to do is to go to Volta Region and the North,,, where people will line up in the sun to vote for u. Nothing to loose at all. Haha

  Dr. Donkor, advise your own public institutions first. For example ECG office Kumasi airport roundabout, SSNIT Adum. Daytime lights are on. They watch TV.
