This disappointed whiteman's mother was a notorious prostitute in Takoradi. Her customers were mainly white sailors and seafarers.

Are you surprised that this son of a bitch is anti establishment?

This corrupt mafia are determined in their evil tragedy plans and no amount of advise will make them reconsider. Pepeni/JJ all came through the blood of the innocent so are cursed to bring sorrow and misery to the people. When you kill a sitting president God turns away so instead of enlightened wisdom based on justice and common sense we have determined stupidity in every decision and wicked devilish plans that can lead only to tragedy. we grow stronger and this year is the year we will boot out all these useless greedy bastards and criminals in rivers of blood. You Kuffuor like your NDC were never loyal to the Akans or Ghanians for that matter. Since the days of Solomon the qualities of successful leadership are well known. The Romans refined this and had an empire that lasted over a 1000 years and the elements are as follows . A great leader needs be among the top 5 % in wisdom that stems from almost divine perceptive justice , an expect in economics or today's macro economics , a general well versed in strategy and the art of war hence the title commander in chief , genuinely concerned for the welfare of the citizens hence the patriotism that stems from the loyalty to the majority of his subjects not the other way round as we see today etc. Pepeni/ayigbe idiots have no loyalty or love for no one except their own selfish tribalism/hegemony and thats why NDC will always fail as all they can promote is exploitation through corruption. If you cant even fix in peace time dumsor what will happen if there is an uprising or revolution involving millions . We pointed out last year that all their projects were burdened or tainted by immoral corrupt selfish greedy appetites of the ndc and the kleptomaniac brothers of pepeni omanhene. If these projects ever make it to parliament or the president they are normally half baked very flawed or contaminated as the monies that should have been invested in the project development were spent buying favor or bribing ndc foot-soldiers , bureaucrats , technocrats etc into compliance. Now pepeni realizes he has less than 2 months to actual start something spectacular that if it doesn't win him the elections at least secure him a sizable strong opposition. If there in no success story then NDC will be rejected en mass by the people and fall to 10% of support which will mean that party will never again be entrusted with the helm of government.

Folks,nobody should take this man serious because he is hallucinating at best or simply madman at worst.Why called this bafoon a financial expert.Where was his so called expert advice in this article except to provoke the masses against the govt?.

Even in Venezuela where the inflation is in triple digit,salary increase is not 50% how much more in Ghana where inflation is less than 17%.Again in 2009 with inflation of 40% nobody asked for a salary of more than 50% under Gyimigyimi kufore.

By the end of 2000 under chairman Rawlings,a gallon of petrol was 6,200 old cedis (0.62ps GHC)but kufour shot it up to 10,000 old cedis or 1GHC which is 61.3% and as far as I can recall,organise labour never demanded 50% of salary increase so why now?.The shocking aspert is the backing of this lunatic calling himself a financial expert.Financial expert my left foot.

Have we thought of the implications of such an outrageous demand on our economy?.The same people backing labour agitation will tend round and accused the govt of running the country aground or escalating the the country´s debt burden.

Look at what extreame partisan politics has denied otherwise respectable people of wisdom.

Long live Ghana and Long live NDC and short live NPP.

Talk is cheap. Please declare how many industries you run and the number of people you employ. Please confirm you have effected the 50% or 100% increase you are talking about. It is easier said than done.

How many citizens pay tax in Ghana if you are not on a payroll? Where is the 50% coming from? What kind of work do these people do? Ghanaian workers are unproductive.

Good night and good luck!

This frusted so called financial analyst has completely lost touch with what he claims to be. No real or genuine financial analyst based on the econmy would comment like this. It seems he doesnt know anything about the socio- econmic issues in the country but ignorance should not allow a semu literate person to confuse and incite persons against management. I cant teach him on this platform bit I advise him to live by his credentials because, it seems he is either a frustrated, unemployed person or doing politics. Its better he goes back to school. A reactionary and violent person like this person with shallow mind should be ignored.

Are alright yourself? I am just asking because you said you can teach him on this platform. You never get worried when mahama government increase utilities by 80% up to 6 times in a year. Check fuel prices in America, Germany Japan all over the world but Ghana the price keep increasing. Mahama increased utility bill 2015 more than 400% whether you know a single country on this earth that did so. You are the ones rather doing politics.

No gov't(public or private) entity in Ghana or elsewhere under the Sun can give 50 percent increase in monthly remuneration to Survive.A 100 percent and over,end of year Bonus and about 2-3 weeks paid holidays could be contained, depending on the Gross Profit made in the year under review. And not in a Fragile or collapsed Economy. Where,and how many times in this world did Casely Hayford heard of what he proposed,and at this time of financial mobilization!.Anyway.

Yes,I know better, that is why I told you the truth,and did not based my comment on emotions and "Kerosene mind" like Casely Hayford.What is the fiscal policy of the gov't.The fact that utility is up 80 percent and fuel 50 percent does not work out a 50 percent increase in Salaries,in commensurate to the Utility hike.If that is your mind,the idea is not feasible and.unworkable.As I have already said the Economy is fragile for various reasons.(1).The previous admin which steered the Economy to a lower middle income status,did not get the mandate to continued to set the Economy on a more solid grounds. Not forgetting that the Economy was dependent or Supported by development partners. So, to achieve a lower income Status implies "you're now of age economically or your hand is long enough to reach your back".Therefore, too much help from Dep partners is minimized. In that case,if development projects of the Country is not well Budgeted or planned,and are executed for Political expediency, reckless or not well thought through expenditure,and for political Campaign, the Country would be financially Constrained.This brings us to the Fiscal Policy of the admin.What is it!.No true financial analyst would make that unreasonable or unrealistic demand on a fainted or weak economy.Any attempt to give 50 increase will create more hardships to defeat the reason for the increase.

Ndc promised us better Ghana. Npp increased fuel by 100% but ndc is increasing 400% in a year, Npp didn't borrow recklessly like mahama is doing and also didn't have oil. They would not have increased at all.

50% increment may be justifiable but is not an end in itself. Measures must also be put in place to ensure that public servants work to the expectations desired.

To hell with you. It bothers me greatly that you claim to fame is that you are a "Financial Analyst". No, am not trying to take that from you. I don't even need it because I have grown past that title. My beef with you is that at your age, and probably your "experience", couldn't you come up with something of substance.

For a grown old man like you, Financial Analyst, sounds more like an entry level, amateurish, learning the ropes kind of title. Seriously, what is your pedigree? Where have you been and whom have you been with? I asked because I have never heard nor read any thing that you've said or written that has any semblance of "Financial Analysis".

Why don't to just keep the title "Political Commentator"? It fits your undertakings much much better than a Financial Analyst, something you don't do.

By the way, is this you, linkedin.com/in/sydneycaselyhayford ? If that's s you then take it from me that in the Ga language, that is called "kotoklo". I hope you know what that means. If you don't, you can go ask your mother.
