  The opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has been thrown into a state of confusion since the John Dramani Mahama administration unveiled its “Accounting to the People” publication chronologically cataloguing the countless development projects embarked upon by his government, the Republic Newspaper can report.
  
  Sources have told this paper that the NPP is currently groping frantically for a new line of criticisms against the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) government since the publication popularly dubbed the Green Book has significantly neutralized the NPP’s narratives against the government.
  
  President Mahama launched the publication at an event at the State Banquet Hall late last week, and since the launching, the Green Book has become an important topical issue in the media.
  
  “ We note that ever since government began the publication and provision of irrefutable evidence of its achievements, the leadership and membership of the opposition party have changed their oft-repeated narrative of “non-performance” to one of “inflation of project cost”. In their misguided view, this desperate narrative will taint these projects and obscure the benefits that our people will derive from them,” Dr. Omane Boamah, stated in a press release on Monday.
  
  The often repeated criticism of the NDC government by the NPP includes the fact that the NDC administration had secured billions in loans and grants more than any other administration but yet have been unable to show anything for it because the funds have been siphoned into private pockets.
  
  This allegations is preposterous says the Communications Minister. “ Let me place on record that our performance in Government as summarized in the book, ‘Accounting to the people’ is unassailable and cannot be wished away. The unparalleled investments we have made in education, health, water, housing, roads, transport, and security among others have led to significant and measurable improvements in the living conditions of our people. We are aware that the NPP perceives these achievements as an existential threat hence their resort to outright falsehood as a means to detract from them. No amount of falsehood about government’s performance, however, will change the fact that the NPP’s record over the eight years they were in power pales into insignificance when set against what the NDC has done in office,” he said in the statement released on Monday.
  
  Touting the achievements of his administration on Tuesday at the launching event at the State Banquet Hall, Mahama said the government has done a lot in all sectors to put Ghana on a sound footing. “Ghana is on the path of recovery and our medium-term prospects of becoming an upper middle-income country are brighter now than ever in the history of our country.”
  
  “Development occurs within space and time, and so very often it’s not easy to comprehend that development is taking place because if you live in, say Chorkor, and there is a hospital being built in Nungua, you might not have the consciousness that healthcare is improving…, and so what I’ve tried to do with this book is to bring an overview of what we’ve been doing in the whole country over the period of our governance. Accounting to the people brings together in one space and volume, major highlights of what we have achieved so far as a government,” the President explained to dignitaries at the event.
  
  The book is a combination of the numerous significant strides made in various sectors of in the country, adopting a combination of pictures matched with crisp and incisive text.
  
  The book is presented in two parts. The first part gives a broad overview of this Government’s performance in various sectors based on the four pillars of the 2012 NDC manifesto. The second part provides pictorial proof of work done at the district level.
  
  The green book shows that the NDC had been particularly active in the roads and transport sector, where it has significantly modernized the over 71,063 Km network criss-crossing the country. “One of the key planks of President Mahama’s transformation agenda is to expand and modernizes the road network. This is a prerequisite to open up the country in order to reduce road traffic accidents and congestion, boost economic activities and move goods and services freely. Unparalleled investments have been made in road projects across the country in the last few years,” the publication stated.
  
  For instance, the government is spending GH¢3 billion in five years on what is known as the Cocoa Roads Improvement Programme (CRIP) which has commenced with the ongoing construction of several roads in cocoa-growing areas. Beyond the massive road construction in cocoa growing areas, other road projects funded from various sources are underway, the green book acknowledged.
  
  On the transport sector, to provide the public with greater options and flexibility in road transport, public transportation is being improved through the acquisition of a total of 495 buses to strengthen the operations of two public transport companies, namely the Metro Mass Transit and the Intercity STC; and the implementation of the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project.
  
  Some of these buses have been designed to allow for easy access by persons with disability. The first batch of 116 buses has already arrived and is to be deployed to provide intra-city transport services after the installation of electronic ticketing systems in the buses. Procurement processes are underway for the Bus Rapid Transit project. Ten of the buses for the BRT.
  
  On the aviation sector, the Mahama administration has heavily invested in the development and upgrade of the country’s aviation infrastructure including airports, aerodromes and expansion of runways. The idea for the aviation sector is to allow Ghana to consolidate itself as the Aviation hub of Africa. Already these investments have attracted prospective investors in Dubai and Europe.
  
  Statistics shows increasing volumes of passengers and cargo through the Kotoka International Airport. In 2014, over 40,000 flights were recorded at the airports. In the same period, total passenger throughput stood at over 2.5 million compared with a little over 1.3 million in 2009, representing nearly 100% increase.
  
  To accommodate this increases in throughput serious expansion work has been undertaken at the arrival hall. Also, Preparatory work is underway for the construction of an ultramodern international terminal with a capacity of 5 million passengers a year, to be known as Terminal 3 at the Kotoka International Airport.
  
  Meanwhile similar massive investments are being undertaken in the ICT sector, a sector known to have contributed greatly to Ghana’s economic growth over the years. Investments in the sector include the National Data Centre which will form an essential part of the e-Government infrastructure.
  
  Designed to be the largest in West Africa, the Data Center will promote an integrated use of ICT to improve efficiency and transparency in governance and facilitate storage, management and dissemination of data for both public and private establishments. It will among others, provide web hosting and cloud infrastructure services. Fibre optic backbones are currently being laid across the country to facilitate the ICT drive of the government.

  NDC propaganda machinery tell us all Ghanaians are corrupt and born so but i beg to differ.When we take tro tro or a taxi there is no ndc foot soldier there to try make us pay a bribe before we can get in ,when i go and buy kenkey or even roasted plantain kofi brokeman there is no need to bribe anyone , no one needs to bribe the farmer,fisherman,market woman, teachers or private businessmen to do their jobs or render services.The moment i come close to anything where the ndc has a foot hold then the agony anguish and frustrations start as they demand bribes or foolish payments especially when they find out i am Akan.I notice that the modus operandi of crime,discrimination,injustices,prejudice,tribalism,hegemony,cruelty,buga buga bullying and corruption always has one common denominating factor and that is NDC membership. The first thing any criminal does is ensures he is above the law and seeks NDC membership,then the game of double standards start.If they are Ewes , Northerners or satellite allies such as the Gas/Adas then they are truly untouchable,if they are Akan then they can be used as sacrificial scapegoats(see Vicky Hammah and compare to Dzifa Dattivor rebranding).Yes NDC has become an accursed abomination that has put a dark cloud over the people.They know nothing about democracy or understand the principle of unity in diversity so assume a difference in opinion or approach is a sign of crumbling fortunes or disaster. They do not see that even though the Russians and Americans are always competing with each other they think that they are enemies but do not notice in every major war they are always allies on the same side ,the same way they interpret the diversity of the Akans to mean enmity which they think they can exploit. Turkey tried it but were surprised when the CIA confirmed the Russians were speaking the truth . That is the mindset of outsiders , foreigners and manipulative Muslim rats.These people can never be Ghanaians and must be driven out of our country so we have our peace of mind.We should employ the tactics , strategies and principles in Sun Tzu's Art of War "I will force the enemy to take our strength for weakness, and our weakness for strength, and thus will turn his strength into weakness" NDC are the enemy and we shall serve them such a resounding defeat that for the next 1000 years nobody will dream of enslaving our people ever again. They are afraid of encouraging unity in in diversity , equal rights for all as all they know is ONE mind NO brains as we see in primitive societies and countries like northern Korea and the majority of these useless Muslim countries. This philosophy of one mind no brains is the reason they were alarmed at Mahama being endorsed with only 95% votes , why we have hegemony and tribalism in these Ewe and Northerners , why the divine will of God which enables the people to choose will be sabotaged by their rigging. They have alienated themselves from the true desires of the people what just want a normal govt which will look out for their well-being and interests , NDC is nothing but a blind, cold hearted wicked mafia Al Capone style criminal organization which will only succeed in causing misery and tragedy. We have succeeded this year on exposing them next year we shall knock them out and bury them forever. When they killed Atta Mills we promised them Ghana will never be the same and we would bring them down , now we promise them we shall start with the body punches , dismantle the effectiveness of their props the security agencies and prepare the people for war. Let them buy their guns and we will show them that cutlasses and stones are more effective as for every one defender we field they have to have 10 and behind every one another 5 to support their logistics because we defend our homes and they are an unwelcome occupational force. Notice how everyone is now fed up with this pepeni govt,anybody who gets close to them eventually gets infected or contaminated with their corrupt lying ,deceitful one mind no brains foolish stupidity. We see now where Kufuor got his idiotic ideas from of making all Akans subservient to Manhyia annoying mainly the Fanti speakers and Brong Ahafo which enabled NDc to easily exploit this and return them to power to oppress us again, a real jump from frying pan to fire. He was fraternizing with pepeni Mahama , it seems he is slowly coming to his senses as nothing can beat unity in respecting diversity.Anything NDC touches becomes distasteful and a shame,today we rank as one of the most corrupt countries in the world even beating Nigeria in this nefarious notoriety.Our landscape is now an eyesore with more mosques than even Saudi Arabia,rubbish and unnecessary miserable poverty everywhere,a govt full of Alajihs and Ewes the rest are glorified house boys with no sense of decency or justice.JJ led this Islamisation and allying us with useless Arabs instead of those we could better ourselves with. Politics of lies glorified in Ghana started with Nkrumah who for example made the people believe he was a god like messiah and for example stole the idea of the Akosombo dam for bauxite processing from the original planner conceived in 1915 by geologist Albert Ernest Kitson. Jackie Kennedy (wife of JFK) wrote in her memoirs that he was a egoistic womanizing disaster in the making. Nkrumah then somersaulted and claimed it was the dam that caused the debt instead of admitting he had mismanaged our monies by giving it away to friends , cronies and foreigners, another idiot who wanted to create a one party state not respecting the concept of unity in diversity.

  It would appear that those in control of the NDC, for the time being, were bent on excluding other bona fide members of the Party who may wish to lay democratic claims to who becomes the next flag bearer of the Party by excluding them even before the mortal remains of the demised President were interred. It is also symptomatic of how political party elites in Ghana and Africa worm their way into the confidences of persons perceived as likely to ascend to power positions for purposes of eventual personal economic gain at the expense of the generality of the mass of Party members and the Nation which every President swears to serve under the Constitution

  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.”

  EWES are still barbarians. Do you know how many Ewes live in Asanti, and do you know how many Asantis live Eweland? If you see an Asanti in Eweland, he may a government worker. You hate to associate with other people in your Eweland. Asantis are tolerant, and for that reason all people from other ethincity are living in Asanti. Aren't you ashame of describing Asantis as barbarians? You still kill for your voodoo gods.
