DR. BAWUMIA HAS THROWN JUST ONE STONE, AND I KNOW IT WILL BRING A BAD FEELING TO ALL THE WICKED NDC AND THEIR EQUALLY CALOUS FOLLOWERS;--'-------

Dr Bawumia said for example that a runway rehabilitation alone at Kumasi airport cost this country $23.8 million whereas a proposed airport at Ho is estimated at $25 million; and asked sarcastically, “was the runway in Kumasi paved with gold?”

He insisted that given the resources at its disposal, one should expect at least four times the quantum of investment that the NDC claims to have undertaken, saying, “The close to $30 billion of borrowing that was not used for projects could have been used for other critical sectors of the economy.

He mentioned the rail network from Accra to Paga, the water problems, energy, many major road projects in each region, transformation of agriculture particularly in the Northern Regions, Afram Plains and others through investment in machinery, irrigation and dams as some of the projects that the huge amount of money could have covered.

He also said the amount could have been used to build one world class hospital in each region, buy at least 1,000 ambulances, set up factories with the private sector across the country to add value to raw materials and create jobs, equip existing health and education institutions with state-of-the-art facilities as well as build an additional 600 of the Senior High Schools the government is currently trying to build.

According to Dr Bawumia, the reason why he insists the NDC government is attempting to hoodwink Ghanaians with claims of massive infrastructural investments is that “Most of these projects are over-priced as a result of the single source procurement method, which has become the procurement method of choice for this government, as we saw in the SADA, GYEEDA, Karpowership, SMARTTYS bus branding, etc.”

He articulated, “I would like to see for example explanation from the government quantity surveyors of the costing on the Kumasi airport runway for $23.8 million. However, you and I know that they would not explain because they cannot explain.”

He said all previous governments, especially the NPP, undertook infrastructural projects but the NDC is making it look like it has done what nobody did, saying, “The real fact is that the NDC has no real achievements to point to outside the undertaking of some projects; hence, their resort to mediocrity.”

Dr Bawumia also said infrastructural investment was not supposed to be for its own sake but to increase productivity and production in the economy. “If you have indeed undertaken massive and unprecedented infrastructural investment, then why is the economy collapsing?

“Why is the NHIS in trouble? Why is unemployment on the increase? Why are businesses collapsing? Why is agricultural growth stagnant? Why is manufacturing growth negative? Why is the government having difficulty meeting statutory payments? Why the high interest rates? Why the massive exchange rate depreciations? Why are the SADA guinea fowls flying to Burkina Faso? Why the massive increase in utility prices? Why the withdrawal of teacher and nursing training allowances? Why all this suffering in the land?” he asked.

Did NPP explain how and why Ghana Airways was liquidated?
At least NDC is doing something but NPP is against the costs.
That is fine.

This abandoned vessel belongs to Nana Akufo-Addo and is to be for the 2016 campaign. It brought some cocaine from abroad and is to be distributed to the NPP supporters.

Alhaji Ishaq Polo ! Did the thing looks like a ship? Have you not see a ship before? Try to visit Tema harbor and see what a ship looks like.
What is in the picture is what boat looks like.

Our Security Agency are only after opposition members. BNI will get at you if you voice out against the system. Those amateur sailors can bring a boat to our shore and no coast guards could get them

the only way a vessel can enter into ones territory without being detected is to do so by avoiding detection. and the question is how did they managed to avoid detection?

This vessel has either brought a large cache of arms or drugs or terrorist to free these GITMO 2 men ; remember when JJ Rawlings staged his coup ; the dog received arms from Libya through the help of PV Obeng who was then the Manager at Tema fishing port ; this enabled JJ Rawlings to stage his coup without any ammo from the central ammo division of the army; national security should be alert there is something sinister about to befall Ghana ; BNI or army security should be vigilant ;could it be pl

To think that a nameless ship can get close to our shore without notice tell a lot about the type of Navy we have in this country. Day in, day out, you see soldiers on the streets of our country threatening civilians (and in some cases police). It appears that how they show their prowess. If the US can dump its terrorists on you, they can help identify this ship and what it was carrying. I believe the contents of this ship (whatever they were) were transferred to another ship and onto the shores of Ghana.
