  And who is this Naana Eyiah Quansah a parliamentary candidate for Gomua central? Ghanaian politics have gone to the dogs. Doesn't the NPP perform background checks on their aspirants? Character wise, this woman falls short; educationally she is an illiterate with no command of the English language. How can such a person understand proceedings in parliament so as to be able to contribute? Beats my imagination. It's all money politics, I guess

  Author:-PRINCE KWASI ADADE (OFIE)...
  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”, Greenstreet shouted when he delivered his party’s solidarity message to the NDC at the congress at the Baba Yara Stadium in the Ashanti regional Captial, Kumasi – stronghold of the main opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP).
  
  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.”
  
  The wheelchair-bound Politicians has been called names and criticised by leaders and supporters of the NDC after his bluntness. While Majority Leader Alban Bagbin has said he believed Greenstreet was possessed by some demons, which caused him to be “so emotional”, presidential staffer Sam George wrote on his Facebook wall that: “Ivor Greenstreet apparently needs elevation to see the Better Ghana.”
  
  However, Nkrumah said Greenstreet’s message was crafted by the CPP to capture the mood and mind of the entire country.

  DAILY GRAPHIC REPORT
  
  The General Secretary of the Convention Peoples Party (CPP), Mr Ivor Kobina Greenstreet, has commended the government for the massive road works going on on the Eastern corridor of the country.
  
  He said the Eastern corridor road, which he described last year as “a death trap”, would significantly transform into one of the best roads in the country when finally completed.
  
  During an interview, Mr Greenstreet said he would not be surprised if the work of the government along that corridor transformed into votes come 2016.
  
  “The likelihood is that the NDC will sweep all the votes along that corridor if the rate of work continues and we the opposition parties probably must take care,” he confessed.
  
  Mr Greenstreet added, “If the road is completed, it will be a great legacy of President John Mahama,” and expressed the hope that funds would continue to be made available so that work could continue before the setting in of the rainy season.
  
  Contrast
  
  This is in sharp contrast to an earlier statement he made in December 2014 to the effect that “the Eastern corridor road was a death trap.”
  
  “The truth must be told,” Mr Greenstreet told the Daily Graphic, explaining, “After my Kumasi torpedo, I went to the north using the Eastern corridor road where I made the comment that the Eastern corridor road was a death trap.
  
  “But this time round, when I went to the north, I used that road; in fact a lot of work had been done on the road and so the truth has to be told and I think it will be to the benefit of Ghana as a whole,” he said.
  
  Mr Greenstreet, during the NDC National Delegates Congress in Kumasi, openly lashed at the ruling NDC for not doing enough to ease the sufferings of the ordinary Ghana, adding that no one was feeling the Better Ghana Agenda of the President.
  
  Propaganda?
  
  Asked how he would feel if people saw him as doing political propaganda, he challenged anyone “to go and use the road and see whether what I’m saying is just propaganda.”
  
  He rejected such an assertion and explained that he was saying the truth and that he was amazed by the level of work so far done on the road since he last used it and felt it was fair to commend where commendation was due.
  
  “So, it enabled me to kill a number of birds with one stone. It enables me to tell the truth and also to “reconcile with my brothers in the NDC.
  
  “The road is now very good and the work that has been done is very impressive. Yendi to Bimbilla took me one hour and the road to Nkwanta, apart from a small portion between Damango and Bonakye, is very good. There has been a lot of good work and the Nkwanta Township has been transformed because of the road,” he said.
  
  He, however, expressed the hope that similar attention would be given to other important roads such as that of Accra-Kumasi.
  
  Political ambition
  
  On his political ambition, he said “all I am currently doing is working as the general secretary to complete the constituency elections and the regional congresses. So, I don’t think during that process, I will be talking about my ambition.”
  
  Mr Greenstreet insisted that for now, the CPP was focusing on putting in place its regional executives.
  
  On what the CPP thinks about the current state of the economy, Mr Greenstreet said his party was opposed to the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA), genetically modified organism (GMO), and IMF conditionalities among others.
  
  “We want to retain control of our development and use debts to enhance domestic resources and create jobs in export expansion and import substitution. Not debts for balance of payment and exchange rate support,” he noted.

  We have been in this country when the uncompleted extension of the runway of Kumasi Regional Airport has been described by the Mahama NDC gov't as an ultra modern international airport comparable to any international airport in the US, Germany, France, UK, Holland, China, Hong Kong, etc, etc. So what does the Mahama NDC gov't means by an ultra modern Kumasi central market because Ghanaians have had it with mediocre leadership and propaganda.
