SOURCE: NPP COMM.------
Dr. Bawumia pointed out that the NDC had increased Ghana’s debt in seven years by GHC90 billion, from GHC9.5 billion at the end of 2009 to some GHC99 billion currently; an equivalent of some 37 billion dollars at the time of borrowing.

“First, If you sum the cost of all the loan financed projects listed in the green book (even including those with artistic impressions, it is less than $7 billion. Meanwhile, the government has borrowed the equivalent of $37 billion so where is the rest of the money? Indeed, given the resources at its disposal one should expect at least four times the quantum of investment that the NDC claims to have undertaken”, Dr. Bawumia said, as he began listing the six reasons.

Dr. Bawumia proceeded to list a number of things the over 30billion dollars from borrowing the NDC cannot account for, could have done, which proves that contrary to the claims, the NDC has done a bad job at giving Ghanaians their due after undertaking unprecedented borrowing in the last seven years.

The only avowed enemy of Christians is Satan and so if Muslims have issues with traditional authorities, the best place Muslim youth should have attacked was the shrines of the traditional deities and not six (6) Christian churches. There was deliberate attack on Christian churches in Tafo and not a mistake by Muslim youth. What would have happened afterwards if Christians had retaliated? Does it mean that Muslims are agents of Satan who has vowed to destroy the church? This is why Mahama should have condemned the Muslim youth for this needless provocation but unfortunately he did not. Is it because he is happy Muslims are destroying the church or he is brainless as a leader.

It is common sense for all those fools who love to hate so much they will find some excuse to hate their own for smoking a spliff. Ignorant bush people we live in 2016. Research show it ix better than alcohol. Colorado in one year of legalisation saw sales of 980 million dollars and recieved tax of 200 million dollars. Time to grow up folks and stop hating fellow bros who are doing nothing that affects you personally

This is a bombshell. I dont think this can leave any legacy to Kofi Annan's western imperial record. Ghana is in a continent where one is taught, to reason ,act and to obey the forces stronger nations. But why dhould this come from a Kofi Annan ? I am ashamed !, because a little student girl repented from smoking this mind bugging parasite product , and was nearly crazy , until she was saved. And even if it was for medical reasons Kofi Annan, in his capacity as a contributor of a solem world , have no right for this suggestion ! The mentality of our continental population is not that of the industrialised world. So why should Kofi Annan wants to betray us ! Pollutions,filth, dust, and now the diasease ! No ! Thanks , Kofi Annan . We have already had a mad president made out of this substance , and we know who is jj rawlings !

Because the President is not responsible for their daily being. Americans don't kiss ass. The president need the people more than they need him. Because we paid taxes and we demand our taxes back. Who cares who the president is, is he going to paid my bills, we employ him, and we are employers. Think about it. Why should a high school kid think about who the president is, when he or she can google it. They waste their time thinking about the next productive to their society. Fool wake up.

Every single prohibitionist is drenched in blood. Blood from forcing people to chose alcohol and nicotine over a far safer alternative. Blood from forcing the ill and dying to use killer prescription drugs instead of marijuana, blood from the many killed in no-knock raids, and blood from forcing people to buy from violent black market criminals.

Prohibitionists are fundamentally opposed to everything that can be subsumed under social progress. The struggle for life, liberty and justice often begins where rulers or governments abuse their power. If you are a prohibitionist then you no longer work for the good of the people. To suppress and torment individual citizens for their personal tastes, interests or affiliations is plain fascism.

Mr Annan's observations must be applauded. However, the type of marijuana/cannabis/ganga/weed being taken in the US is of low grade. Ours is very very strong, and if we go their way, no telling how many more mental cases we will have to deal with in Ghana. I tell U, if the US consumers had access to Ghanaian weed, they wouldn't be pushing for its legalization. They will see that there is weed, and there is weed weed. Simply put, our medical institutions aren't equipped to deal with the corresponding upsurge in mental cases. Maybe, good as an agricultural venture for export purposes only.

that's it has to be refined hence reducing the active ingredient in it.if government should take over wee farms from its owners and regulate it,that would be a step in the right direction because it doesn't make any sense jailing a wee smoker.these smokers rather have to be rehabilitated or prevented from abusing wee.most people think all smokers are bad people but it's far from that because there also people who don't smoke but are commiting heinous crimes that are out of hand.personally I think wee is less dangerous compared to alcohol.

It should be understood that in the ancient world, diseases such as epilepsy were attributed to demonic possession, and to cure somebody of such an illness, even with the aid of certain herbs, was the same as exorcism, or miraculously healing them. Interestingly, cannabis has been shown to be effective in the treatment of not only epilepsy, but many of the other ailments that Jesus and the disciples healed people of, such as skin diseases (Matthew 8, 10, 11; Mark 1; Luke 5, 7, 17), eye problems (John 9:6-15), and menstrual problems

Kofi Annan is totally correct, prohibition has finally run its course; the lives and livelihoods of hundreds of millions of people, users and non-users worldwide, have been destroyed or severely disrupted; many countries that were once shining beacons of liberty and prosperity have, through scientific ignorance and blind political fanaticism, become repressive smoldering heaps of toxic hypocrisy and a gross affront to fundamental human decency. It is now the duty of every last one of us to insure that the people who are responsible for this shameful situation are not simply left in peace to enjoy the wealth and status that their despicable actions have, until now, afforded them. Former and present Prohibitionists should not be allowed to remain untainted or untouched by the unconscionable acts that they have viciously committed on their fellow human beings. They have provided us with neither safe communities nor safe streets. We should provide them with neither a safe haven to enjoy their ill-gotten gains nor the liberty to repeat such a similar atrocity.

Coming out at this confused & unsettled time in our history to call for the legalization of marijuana in Ghana, undoubtedly sends the wrong message.

Your prestige & stature in the world should have been added to the legalization of what we eat and inject in our bodies, & the legalization of what we teach our young ones. These, in my opinion, should have come before the call to legalize marijuana.

Not eating well & excessive drinking, & not teaching our children to read, write & think are costing our nation billions of Cedis each year.

And these are the issues we need to address as a nation.

The beneficial effects of cannabis is known and has been known and has been around for a very long time.
At the turn of the 19th century, preceding the prohibition era, steps were taken to criminalize cannabis, although tinctures of the plant were known to Apothecaries and were used for medicinal purposes.
The criminalization of cannabis had racial undertones which were stacked against blacks/slaves, because at the time, blacks or slaves brought in from Africa to work on the plantations of the Whiteman, used cannabis as their "drug" of choice and it actually did a lot of wonderful things for the Slaves.
The added benefit was, compared to tobacco, it was relatively non-toxic or harmful as opposed to the nicotine in Tobacco, which the World has come to witness it's very harmful effects over decades upon decades of use.
Cannabis has pharmaceutical properties and currently has very wide use in cancer treatment, cosmetic uses and a host of others.
However as with any other "drug" it has potential harmful effects and therefore makes regulation and safe use, an important priority in considering it's legalization. Another thing to consider is whether legalization of cannabis is going to be for recreational or medicinal purposes or both?

Progressive governments all over the world are legalising the use of Cannabis because it has health qualities, not to mention the economic value to the nation. At least if the government or the people do not want it, it can be exported as a commodity, and the government can earn some income.

It is sad and disappointing that this honorable man has not express his opinion on this issue. As a former diplomat of this caliber, if you sit on the sideline for a war to break out during or after the election, shame on you. What Ghanaians need now is not legalization of wee but diplomatic solutions to avert war. You silence on this issue is deafening

Just about three weeks ago someone who knows very well told me that Kofi Annan does not believe in God and that he dabbles in occultism. I did not believe the person. Now with what Kofi has said it blows my mind. The man many of us believe had represented African well at the United Nations stoops low for asking that cannabis (drugs) that destroys human mind and other parts of men and women be legalized. No doubt Africa is sinking like Titanic hit by the hammer of God.

Legalization of drugs will stop the killing and governments are going to tax dealers. It's just going to be like selling and buying of alcoholic drinks. People who don't use alcoholic beverages don't buy them likewise users would go anywhere to get them if they were not legalized. No government is winning the"Drug War." This war has been fought by the past generations and we are going to pass it on to generations to come. This is civilized world so let's put Annan's topic on the UN's table. Time to act is now.

This Speech without the Statistics of
Cannabis related medical conditions from the Hospitals in the Cities/ Countries the former UN Boss mentioned is not encouraging.In Africa insanity is pronounced(clear) in the Street. That's not the case everywhere. Elsewhere,one can pass by a mentally challenged person without having an idea whatsoever. Therefore,the proposal by Kofi Annan should be reduced to Local levels for one to envision the increase of insanity in Wee/Cannabis related sicknesses/ cases in our Hospitals , the general havoc that may be encountered in the Ghanaian Society by the tickets for Criminals to Smoke in the open without hindrance to boost their operations, the economic and financial Constraint on the govt's suspected inability to supply needed medications or handle the situation,if Wee or Cannabis is legalized in the Country.The fact that it's legalized in other places is not a Conclusive Prove that the Weed is no longer harmful to mankind,despite so called medicinal values trumpeted mostly by addicted persons.B'cos, those places has well Structured Institutions that work(able to monitor,suppress distribution, regulate, hospitalized,arrest abuse to prosecute ,etc, etc).Since when was Ghana able to enforce Prescription Medication Laws,or, the desire and capabilities to control Mosquitoes, first.Or ensured availability of basics like,Water,etc, for our own use!.Only Wee or Cannabis addicted Smokers advocates for its legalization. The Speech is full of negations in my personal opinion. Cut the design to the Size of your Cloth. Anyway.

Again,my nephew smoked wee to became clearly insane; but his mentor was not like you said.I direct you to Consult Psychiatrist, Dr Osei to breif you on the harmful effect of the weed to mankind,despite its pharmaceutical uses.Our forefathers knew Something before a law was passed to Criminalize and Suppress its free use.I remember some time past,a Cannabis Smoker told me the Stuff is not a respector of persons.B'cos a Smoker sees anyone before him at the height of 2'(2 feet).That's to say the Smoker do not give a dame to whoever you are or aren't!.Anyway.

Kofi Annan is one of the highly profiled men in the world and he knows the ins and outs of the laws pertaining drugs and govts of the United Nations. If marijuana is legalized in Ghana it's going to solve a lot of health problems and boost the economy. It's very cheap in Ghana. Imagine if people can afford one wrap of weed for 10.00GH instead of .50GH for a wrap.

You have been silenced about all the issues facing Ghana. We have pregnant women in the market selling ice water just to put food on the table. Our senior citizens are dying because of improper health care and this is what you want for Ghana. Weed has been illegal for ages. Because they want to tax it and make the rich richer, they now are telling us there is health benefits. It took thousands of years to recognize that? Oh Kwame Nkrumah. This is the nation you fought for. Is there any sinsible person left in africa. I think people need to go seek some wisdom from Kenyatta. Just like he said to Obama. There are important issues to worry about than legalizing gay marriage.

Yes man! Legalize it! Decriminalize it!
And i man mr banton will advertise it. Sensimelia!
Me send a letter to the residence of the president
With a stamp on the front saying very urgent
The message inside went something like: legalize it, sensimelia!

Sensimelia is a herb that grows naturally
Just like any other plant or tree
Natural as the birds natural as the bees
And just like them sensi ought to be: free!
To be grown anywere that we please
In the city in the town and in the country, free!
In the hills and in the vally
Sensi should be there for everyone to see o call sensi a drug is very absurd
It should be known as a natural herb
So much diseases sensi has cured
That’s why doctors use it all round the world
For glaucoma and fever, rheumatism, arthritis and asthma
Insomnia, emphysema and to block epileptic siezure
To alleviate pain and nausea
Assosiated with the aids and cancer
Some say it is the best stress releiver
Lord knows im a believer We want legalization, decriminalization and emancipation
For all those sentenced to incarceration for participation
With the healing of the nation
It’s just another case of political insanity
Abusing the rights of humanity

But we should all plant a seed of this weed that we need
To avoid an ecological calamity
We can use it for paper to save some trees
Use it for fuel to save some seas
Us it for medicines to help fight disease
And use it for food when were hungry so
Give me the ganja cookie
And the herbal tea
Sensimelia is irie!
I don’t care what no government say
Sensimelia is ok Me send a letter to the residence of the president
With a stamp on the front saying very urgent
The message inside went something like: legalize it, sensimelia!

Legalize it! Fe we medication
Legalize it! Lord, fe we medication
Legalize it! Woe, throughout the nation
Legalize it! Yes we sensimelia!

Yes! From downing street to d.C
Time to paint the white house green
You know what i mean. Scean!

DEAR READING PUBLIC OF "GHANAWEB.COM",

TO RESPECTFULLY RENDER MY SINCERE COMMENTS ON THE ABOVE RELATED MATTER WHICH AT THE CENTER OF A LOT OF MISINFORMATION AND JUST TO QUOTE MY DEAR FRIEND H.E.DR.MR.PRESIDENT OF UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BARACK OBAMA "WRITE-UPS" TO THE CONGRESS OF UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ON "NARCOTICS DRUGS SYNDROME" AND SINCE THE FACT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF, YOU MAY SEE IT VERBATIM AS FOLLOWS SINCE INFORMATION SHARING HELPS TO PROMOTE BETTER UNDERSTANDING, THERETO:
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED.
GOD BLESS GHANA AND AMERICA.
VERY TRULY YOURS,
BENONY TONY AMEKUDZI,ESQ.
INTERNATIONAL LAWYER/LEGAL CONSULTANT

PLEASE, REFER TO H.E.DR.MR.PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA PROPOSALS TO CONGRESS IN 2010 BELOW AND AS FOLLOWS:

"iii
??
To the Congress of the United States
I am pleased to transmit the
2010 National Drug Control Strategy
, a blueprint for reducing illicit drug
use and its harmful consequences in America I am committed to restoring balance in our efforts to
combat the drug problems that plague our communities While I remain steadfast in my commitment
to continue our strong enforcement efforts, especially along the southwest border, I directed the Office
of National Drug Control Policy to reengage in efforts to prevent drug use and addiction and to make
treatment available for those who seek recovery This new, balanced approach will expand efforts for the
three critical ways that we can address the drug problem: prevention, treatment, and law enforcement
Drug use endangers the health and safety of every American, depletes financial and human resources,
and deadens the spirit of many of our communities Whether struggling with an addiction, worrying
about a loved one’s substance abuse, or being a victim of drug-related crime, millions of people in this
country live with the devastating impact of illicit drug use every day This stark reality demands a new
direction in drug policy— one based on common sense, sound science, and practical experience That
is why my new strategy includes efforts to educate young people who are the most at-risk about the
dangers of substance abuse, allocates unprecedented funding for treatment efforts in federally qualified
health centers, reinvigorates drug courts and other criminal justice innovations, and strengthens our
enforcement efforts to rid our streets of the drug dealers who infect our communities
I am confident that if we take these needed steps, we will make our country stronger, our people
healthier, and our streets safer If we boost community-based prevention efforts, expand treatment
opportunities, strengthen law enforcement capabilities, and work collaboratively with our global part-
ners, we will reduce drug use and its resulting damage
While I am proud of the new direction described here, a well-crafted strategy is only as successful as its
implementation To succeed, we will need to rely on the hard work, dedication, and perseverance of
every concerned American I look forward to working with Congress, Federal, State and local officials,
tribal leaders, and citizens across the country as we implement this
Strategy
and make our communities
better places to live, work, and raise our families "
