    IS MAHAMA A USELESS COMMUNICATOR?
    If Mahama - who prides himself to be a fine communicator - cannot handle simple communication issues in his office, how can he have the brains to handle the nation's economy? No wonder our e ...

    You can't even spell "laughing* correctly and yet you call Mahama useless. What about the one who wrote"Tsikata Vrs The President" who on top of all his "cruways" gave himself away? Only his father will issue him a Law Certif ...

    That of Mahama cannot be forgiven since he has been in that sector for long yet he is not learning.

  • United Ghana 8 years ago

    What he should have been communicating in the Interview is, which company printed the brochure & who recommended them. Also, which presidential staffers were involved & what their role was in this disgrace.

  • DAVE 8 years ago

    The President of this country is highly ahead of issues. he knows who was solely responsible for the gaffe and has acted in the good faith of the country by firing the ISD boss. this not what our focus should be on, our focu ...

    Be a little bit diplomatic for choice of words. Instead of "sacked", "relieved from his post" will be appropriate. Being nasty in an expression is not what God wants from us. Thank you.

    Ah Mr. president? Either you are not serious or have no respect for yourself and Ghanaians or both. That gentleman has just been sacrificed as a scape-goat to cover up the intense incompetents surrounding you.

    It appears Mahama is trying to smokescreen the true reason for dismissing Mr. Arthur. We all know that the latter exhibited unprofessionalism in the execution of duty and we charge Mahama to come clear and disclose to Ghanaia ...

    Who printed then who gave authorisation to print after oking the proof which is normal practice etc etc fools fools fools

  • Tibaa 8 years ago

    The distributor has been fired, but the producer is protected by the government. Mahama is either confused, or blind to the facts. Either way, Ghana continues to be ridiculed around the world.

  • Odikro 8 years ago

    So, John Mahama was on live Television and still failed to tell Ghanaians which company printed the brochures. And just like lifting $3 million to Brazil for $1.5 million, paid to Ibrahim Mahama, the interveiwer did not have ...
