Author:- SCHEMER......
Especially when the President made tiime from his busy schedule to comment on the Kennedy Agyapong's issue with the EC but has kept mute on a treasonable offence as this. He should have been the first to condemn those goons and the party ought to have disassociated itself from that utterances but no. Per their silence, I can agree with you that they consent to that despicable act and the President endorses it.

I don't know who you are but you failed to check on stats,which region in the country has the highest number of senior high schools and tertiary institutions, besides which region in Ghana is more developed apart from Accra by its citizenry than Ashanti region,because of our high intelligence we don't wait for government to build estates for us we do it ourselves. So if you're a '' taani" use your literacy to educate your kids to go to school and stop them for rearing cattle and kayayo.Stop that stinky smell and forcing of little girls into mirages.
If you are awunani! then you're the least to talk about because, this is the region with the least development due to their lack of education, mostly thieves, trokosi,at this time of age, and brick layers and carpenters as labourers for the Ashanti, Stop the agualagua because it retards development, and learn from the superior tribe THE GREAT ASANTES.

A very dangerous precedent had been set which will bite back at development in Kumasi and chip into the very foundation of chieftaincy in Ghana.

It is becoming increasingly obvious that there is a crash between the rule of law and chietaincy as an institution.One must give and it surely can't be rule of law and its authority.

Many times it is very unusual for Ghanaian, and for that matter African government officials, to "voluntarily" resign from a government job. They can even hang on with only one tooth until the main boss, if he has some balls, to pull him down.

Whatever the charges against Mr. Bonsu; disrespectfulness, insubordination, corrupt practices, bad language, eating too much bushmeat, bad haircut, etc., etc., this man has had the SENSE enough to RESIGN for peace to prevail. I'm sure he can find something meaningful to do with the rest of his life and I challenge other Ghanaian politicians and officials to emulate his example, when they have fallen afoul of the law or out of favor of the people.

Have some of our politicians been watching what the heck is going in England or Britain after the BREXIT referendum? That is, voting 52% to 48% to EXIT or LEAVE the European
Union (EU).

Conservative Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, Labor opposition leader and the bomb thrower, Farage, leader of the Independent Party—who started it all have RESIGNED. Tomorrow, Wednesday (7/13/2016), "Madam Teresa May" takes over as the British new Prime Minister and takes residence at 10 Downing Street in London— the official residence of the British Prime Minister. Please, learn some good lessons, African politicians, there is time to stay and time to pack your marbles and go home.

In fact, I don't know if you've ever travel to Turkey or any advance country before where one can discover that shoe making is a professional job for some people.

It is for this retarded way of thinking that Nana Addo might never be President in Ghana. The very instance where one becomes very much ethnocentric and projects myopically his or her tribe over the other.

What Ashantes must know is simply, Ghana is where it is today because of the collective indiviudal contributions from the various regions.

While others support our collective growth with diamond and gold, others will food stuff and many more.

The ony time we will begin to to realize this Nana Addo will forever remain where he is.

In the Central Region alone, these are some of the worth noting development the Mahama administration has given the region.

the NDC administration has used just three years to give the Region a new Stadium, the under refurbishment korokraba market, the revamped Komenda sugar factory.

In terms of education you might want to mention the numerous Community Day SHS's the region has been given with the Atta Mills SHS being the notable amongst them.

I'm surprised about the so called or the self acclaimed king Solomon. I don't ponder the story I read in the Bible about the son of David was his yardstick because the chopped rotten fingernails of King Solomon valued prominently then the said decision him and the rest. What at all will Amoaman Hene snd the rest add to the ongoing project? Is he an Engineer, Architect, Site formal if not what at all was he needed there for? Frivolous act that'll end us no where. We should believe and remember that no leaving human being owns any part in Ghana. There's as an elected president to the nation and in him only that the constitution gives all the powers that governs the nation's to.

if for nothing at all, the Kejetia Market, the new park for family reunion in the heart of kumasi and obviously the numerous developments that have taken place under his watch.

I need not shut up over the good job done by the John Mahama administration so far.

Unless you do not want to face facts, but you should agree with me that the President has done tremendously well within three years, especially for the Ashanti Region.

A new Military hospital under construction, a new sports stadium for the good people of Edubiasi.

On the recent accounting to the people tour of the region if you were to put your political ego aside you would have attest that JM has certainly out performed.

Fellow Ghanaians, it is unfortunate that we don't discuss issues as Ghanaians but majority of the populace discuss issues by putting on "political lens". We should all learn to be humble and have compassion for each other. Pride and arrogance leads a man into a fall. We should eschew arrogance and pride. Our politicians should learn a big lesson from this matter. Before independence, before Gold Coast became Ghana, Accra, Kumasi, Takoradi, Tamale, Ho just to mention a few were in existence and all communities were governed by our Traditional Rulers. Where are the freedom fighters? They are all gone. A man reaps what he sows. God help us.
