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. It is not dumsor that will defeat NDC rather the fact that that they are all empty shells with no common sense talk less any empathy for the misery of the people. 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 . Their corrupt ministers are resigning because they need time to properly stash away their loot before the war starts. Donkor was one of the most corrupt and ashawo Dzifa after the port expansion deals and a few other things is one of the most richest women in Africa today. This selfish greedy corrupt minister is only a symptom of this criminal mafia full of anti Akan prejudice and hate. 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.

Yes since the Bond of 1844 it is clear who have a right of say in Ghana and should not be marginalized by northerners and Ewes

Government owes vra so what's this man talking about. Every energy contract you sign you inflate the price making the vra debts even worse. This man can't manage and it's only fools who think otherwise

So VRA causes a mess and the taxpayer pays for it. Does that sound right? Shouldn't somebody be held accountable for this mess?

No, some of the so-called taxpayers cause the mess by illegally tapping electricity and some in the VRA helped them to steal uncontrollably. Now, all are burdened with the consequence.

Where is the money your gov't and administration has looted and owes them? Where has been your administration's competence and intelligence to ensure the exchange rate between Ghana's currency which under your watch is the most worthless, stays stable against the major trading currency, the dollar, because exchange rate losses as a result of the unintelligence and incompetence of your gov't has contributed enormously to the debt owed power sector.
As far as Ghanaians are concerned, we pre-pay for power, so essentially, it is not a case of Ghanaians not paying for power consumed. Indeed, Ghanaians pay for power which they don't access to, and so if the VRA is in debt, the question is what happens to the money paid by Ghanaians which should go to institutions such as the VRA, ECG, N-Gas, WAPCo etc, etc?
Ghanaians want to know from John Dramani Mahama where is our money? Sika no wo h33???

This is simple, if the people that are entrusted to manage the business are not performing, what needs to be done other than firing them? Fire them all, not just recycling them to other ventures.

Mr president stop fooling yourself because according VRA you don't paid bills you own them and the money which you are suppose to pay them you gave it to AMERI so stop justify utility adjustments and pay your debt.

So all this debt accumulation occurred on your blind side and you are just waking up to see it. You might have been sleeping on the job then. Don't forget, you appointed the chief executive officers and the board members. What type of reports do you get from VRA for the past 7 years? Please don't tell me you were not responsible for first 4 years. As the VP you were very much aware of the going ins and outs of VRA. And don't even think of blaming NPP. For a long time your government played politics with tariffs for electricity. We have not heard of any serious cases of embezzlements at VRA which could be the reason why they are unable to pay their debts. If there have been your security agencies would have reported thaem. So maybe your government owes VRA the subsidies you authorized and the millions your ministries, departments and agencies owe for electricity consumed over the years. So coming out to tell us VRA owes every bank in the country is no strategy to address the dumsor problem.

Obviously, your youthfulness did not help at all. Governing is not for everybody. You are simply not cut for the job. Maybe it is time to leave town.

It is fair for the president to spell out the truth of the VRA situation to justify the action being taken the solve our problems. In the first place the whole administration, technical, engineering and the Energy management of the VRA are too big for the government to manage. Neither is for the government to sell the whole VRA to foreign company as Kufuor and NPP government including Nana Addo sold the Ghana Telecommunications to Vodafone company. Neither should we destroy it and try to take from the state and try to form a new company as Kufuor and the NPP government including Nana Addo destroyed Ghana Airway airlines and tried to form Ghana international with his son and bogus and corrupted private foreign company. we can privatize a part of the cooperation of the VRA SAY THE SUPPLY SIDE AND THE COLLECTION OF THE BILLS. This will enable the country to get all the money needed to run the VRA.

That greedy and incompetent president will sell VRA very soon . How this president was chosen by the late President Mills is still misery. Haven't seen a President who doesn't talk about economic growth in Ghana. I doubt if he really knows about the unemployment rate in Ghana. Is the better Ghana agenda proposed by the NDC looting brigade working ?

The VRA used to be a world class institution. Under president John Mahama, the VRA has become non-credit worthy. The dead goat syndrome of corruption, lying, stealing, incompetence, mismanagement and misappropriation of funds is affecting a lot of establishments in Ghana. We need new political leadership in Ghana in 2016.
