Under Mahama's leadership:

1. Ghana is issuing domestic Government bonds at 24.5% yield (interest rate). When government issues a bond, it means she is borrowing the money, expecting to pay back the borrowed money and the interest rate.

2. Ghana is issuing Euro bonds at 10.5% yield.

For those who don't understand finance and economic development, the economy of a country can't grow if its government is borrowing money at such high interest rates.

First domestic banks will not be willing to loan money to local businesses at rates below what the government is paying, meaning local businesses will not have the capital to employ people.

Second, because the government is paying such high interest rates on money borrowed, the government wouldn't have enough money for domestic programs.

If Mahama is telling the new graduates to start businesses without loan facilities for them, how does that make Mahama a qualified president.

Errors and incompetence should not pass silently. Ghana can do better than this.

The Alan Kyeremanten camp within the NPP has labeled clueless Serial Loser Akufo-Addo as "incompetent and a monumental failure". Ghana will not elect a flagbearer whose own NPP members view him as being incompetent and a monumental failure. Nor is the Ghanaian going to be fooled by a clueless elephant-riding flagbearer without an agenda who proposes to build a factory in each district in Ghana. Mahama and the NDC are a better fit for Ghana than your clueless Akufo-Addo and his disoriented and confused NPP.

The only useless government to ever rule Ghana wis the NPP since they left no money in our development coffers, Sold the country's drill ship and state bungalows as well.
However, the NDC on the other hand is protecting our public purse and currently over 35,000 ghost names have been removed from the NSS pay roll, hence saving the country over 140,000 cedis. A feat the NPP could not attain in 8 years

This just goes to prove that we can never have a utopian society by JM in all humility is serving the best interest of Ghanaians. Under the NDC's watch, JM is diversifying sources of power which include use of solar and biomass. Government through the National Board for Small Scale Industries (NBSSI) facilitated the organization of 2,800 business development support programmes for 56,224 entrepreneurs. In essence, the private sector also has a key role to play in developing this country. IN NDC WE TRUST

Explain to Ghanaians how oil revenue can be added to our foreign exchange earnings but the economy has collapsed. Explain to Ghanaians how upon all the taxes this John Mahama administration has collected more than any other gov't from independence combined, the economy has collapsed and hardships have become the potion of Ghanaians. Explain to Ghanaians how upon all the borrowing in an unprecedented manner and the biggest debt add-on by one single administration since all gov't's from independence combined, the economy has collapsed and hardships is the reality of the Ghanaian. Explain to Ghanaians why upon all these, we have to sign up for an IMF bailout for credibility, confidence, technical expertise and a bailout?
With much smaller resources the previous NPP gov't did far, far, far better so can John Mahama explain to Ghanaians what makes him think, hardships should be the potion of Ghanaians and why he hasn't resigned already.

Little Nana Otumfuo was sitting in class doing math problems when his teacher picked him to answer a question, "Nana, if there were five Guinea fowls sitting on a fence and you shot one with your gun, how many would be left?" "None," replied Nana, "cause the rest would fly away." "Well, the answer is four," said the teacher, "but I like the way you're thinking." Little Nana says, "I have a question for you. If there were three women eating ice cream cones in a shop, one was licking her cone, the second was biting her cone and the third was sucking her cone, which one is married?" "Well," said the teacher nervously, "I guess the one sucking the cone." "No," said Little Nana, "the one with the wedding ring on her finger, but I like the way you're thinking."

Why don't you tell him or any leader who.visits. Peace can be at a place where there is fairness. Where there is twisting of the hand to cheat there would be choas. If there is any action which shows that there is unfairness there would be misunderstanding. The referee is bound to be fair. If there is any spilling of blood it pours on the head of the cheaters. If any party is declared a winner unfairly the party is going to face a lot of trouble. This would have a consequential effect on the citizenary. Everybody should pray for fairness.

Expenditures on your entourage alone can build another school. Stop acting stupid. You need to select wise people to govern the country. The presidency, Jack , is a serious business. Name one person in the presidency who has a tall CV? Most of them had never worked in any Institution, only to be appointed by mahama to occupy such sensitive seats. Why wouldn't your administration be termed incompetent?

Ghanaians are in tune with the good work being done by the NDC and this is the more reason why they will continue to vote for the NDC.

Under President Mahama his tenure the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) took delivery of 126 new firefighting vehicles in 2012.In 2014, an additional 80 fire tenders were procured bringing to 206 the number of new firefighting vehicles procured by Government. The largest of these can carry up to 3,000 gallons of water and 3,000 gallons of fire retarding foam. IN NDC WE TRUST

Ghana is certainly better than it was under President kufuor. At least JM is sensitive to our plight while ex-prez kufuor who said Ghanaians complain too much.
Moreover under JM, 80.5 percent of Ghanaians now have access to electricity, 1, 750 groundnut farmers were also trained in the prevention of aflatoxin which has enhanced their competitive advantage into the EU market and the NDC has alos launched the Onuador medical vans which are attending to the health needs of Ghanaians

Ghanaians should get it into their skull that IMF intervention and bailout will only worsen Ghana predicament and bring unprecedented hardship.since 2000 that Portugal,Italy,Spain,Greece took IMF bailout they are worse than before.This programme will not work.It did not work in White man Rawlings time even selling all working industries and render majority of Ghanaians jobless and pocket to proceed and still IMF programme did work for Ghana so I wonder why government beat chest for something that is not working but bring hardship.
