Mahama is a total disgrace. How do we move foward with this Much I Do About Notjing Politics ? Government come and go. They all aim at improuving the living conditions of its citizens. Ndc is the worst ingredient added to our economical boiling soup. Where they are going , nobody knows ,excerpt so long as the illiterates class support them. They can blow their shameful victorious trumpets but so long as they keep borrowing without producing an income yet, their battle of lies are ended. Wow ! Useless people ! $37 billion high debt and still borrowing ! Never in our history ! Pepeni Mahama must pay and refund all Akans natural resource or face our Curse !

The dollar equivalent of this loan remains same after 4 years even if the cedi depreciates in 2020. This is what Dr Bawumia is telling our President.

Borrowing to pay off debts, at even higher cost? Just goes to show that this useless Mahama regime have mortgaged GH for generations to come, without investing in wealth creation (production). Ghana's doomed.

if the gonerment needs to borrow monies to do basic government business, why is he borrowing to build all these projects we cannot afford while in the meantime the economy is tanking and our debts skyrocketing. mahama is burning Ghana's candle on both ends. The only reason he thinks we should continue to borrow is to offer himself and his cronies opportunities to steal. Keep breaking our country, and jail awaits you.

Interesting questions. I think for Mahama and the NDC, everything in this life is about election. They fear opposition like hell so they will sink Ghana if it means winning election. Just imagine what they did in 2012.

As for this, the NDC will not fight with the npp. Because the NPP is more ethnocentric than then the NDC. The NPP are rather the ones who have prompted tribalism against their very own Akans.

Currently the NDC has a Northerner as a President, a Fante as a President, an Akan as a General Secretary and an Ewe as a Chairman. Diversity is written all over the party. The party lives in peace and harmony which has reflected on the entire Ghanaian populace.

Under NPP, when a Northern,an Ashanti a Ga became their General Secretary, Chairman and deputy General Secretary they suspended all of them because they are not one of them. Such people can not be allowed to rule us.

Unlike the NPP who borrowed anyhow and even borrowed from a Saloon in London. The NDC government does not borrow anyhow.

All borrowed money are used for infrastructure development. The New Circle Interchange, the Kasoa interchange all shows what the borrowed money is being used for. Such infrastructure developments will go a long way to make the lives of Ghanaians better and i am happy for that.

The refreshing news also is that there is a clear plan on how the loans will be repayed. Government does not just borrow in vacuum. This is what i call a proactive government.

NDC is a very competent government, if Mahama says he has already won the 2017 elections the reasons is simple, Ghanaians appreciate his good achievements.

Some of which are the construction of 15,000 capacity Stadium in Cape Coast to boost Sporting activities in the region. The stadium comes with an outdoor basket ball court,one handball court, 22 guest rooms etc.

Again under Mahama we have over US $1 billion worth of investment in water just within the last five years. Water can now be given to about 7 million Ghanaians

Mr. President, please come clean and tell Ghanaians that indeed you've messed up the economy and you don't deserve to run for re-election.
Give Ghanaians the chance to choose a more competent person to run the country.
If you have to siphon billions from within the country only to service existing loans, don't you you its people's sweat and blood that you are draining?
You simply can't do the job so please for the sake of the good and hardworking and industrious people of Ghana please step aside.
Thank you.

So this dead goat is still borrowing? We are in serious trouble. They borrow to share the money. what at all is in borrowing that the dead goat takes delight in. We are going to hear some huge corruption that has not happened anywhere after the dead goat leaves office in November. We won't wait for him to hand over in January 2017. He does even know how much he borrowed. He sees doctor bawumia as the threat now. bawumia is your Waterloo. don't mess with him. create, borrow, loot and share. Look at "his dead goat. bring it on and bawumia will show u your level . remember, he is Alhaji, doctor bawumia. And u?He dead goat

Infact president Mahama and his government are useless. That's why he is running away from Ghana's total debts as Dr Bawumia stated. As president if you run a country like this how can the people in the country feel good. Just last week, Cal bank stand chart refuse to borrow money to the government due to government huge debts with them which the government has not been able to service the loans. What at all Mahama and his government are using all these monies for? God should come downoooo else Mahama and his government will sell this nation. Upon all these everybody is still complaining of hardship.

Oh Ghana, our next generations have no future in this country. Ghana has only one year to go on retirement if Ghana is a human being. We still borrow to pay our debts, this is delicious. Mahama and his people are gradually selling this country. I may prefer military rule if our dear nation should continue the way we are going.
