Most of the ghost names on Ghana's Payroll belong to Cadres. During the reign of Atta Mills the Cadres were all over the place making noise that the good old Prof has neglected them. Immediately after the death of Atta Mills the Cadres became deaf and dumb. What is the reason behind this?Tthe answer is very simple. Most of the cadre have been enrolled as Ghost Workers drawing huge salaries from the state coffers. .......More soon.

Tekper now admits that they were not actually solving the Dumsor problem. When his boss said he will fix it they all responded 'yee'. When they set a date declaring dumsor would be a thing of the past, were they making a fool of ghanaians? Let ghanaians vote and vote well for a serious group into governance.

Mahama and his administration had ample time to have resolved the power crisis, they couldn't, it is time for a new leadership.

Pay up the debt owed ECG and the other players in the power sector, because you try to sell even a pole of ECG, you will have a rude shock in this country and that is a promise.
That stealing and thievery which has become synonymous with NDC policies under your John Mahama will be shaken up in this country much sooner than expected to put some sense into your coconuts very soon.

Government is the one who has to make things NOT TO HAPPEN If they are bad for the country.
There is nothing like electricity crisis in Ghana, we have no future plans. Human being having crisis with electricity n Ghana means our psychiatric hospitals are not doing their job. We human being blame something they can't see, something like electricity.
Those who want to buy Ghana electricity production companies are those who failed Ghana. Why can't they built their own dams create their own electricity and leave Ghanaians owe their right to cheap electricity.
Why should anyone want to buy something that is not working, why not lock that person up. To help Ghanaians is not to own them. Why do anyone think it right not to have electricity in a country like Ghana. We have the sun, rivers, wind, coal and we don't have electricity. Why should anyone mention electricity when electricity is something you produces, and the government is not producing it and what you to blame electricity for not coming into our houses as it is supposed to be.
The government should something about it with the Ghanaians money and hard work. Investment, investment on anything will work, will save Ghanaians from all these rubbish. They buy and invest on us for our own electricity.

Traditional Satanism is not simply an inversion, but a complete rejection of the images of a
00233244908520particular culture, religion, or philosophy. From there a Satanist uses those images against the ethos itself, that was once his own conditioning. Persons who participate in traditional Satanic masses sometimes experience a king of 'sartori', a sudden enlightenment, to an increase in their own consciousness, and feeling stronger and satisfied because they had broken with the constraining opposites. In other words, at its highest level Satanism uncovers what the ethos of a particular community or society has covered up through images, dogma, words and ideas, returning the individual to the primal chaos out of which 'opposites' were created." ~ Magister Hagur, Temple of Atazoth Office

WHAT was this imbecile thinking moving the economy forward without ENERGY? Truth is economics and finance are based on mathematical models not propaganda. The idea that a nation can borrow to develop is as absurd and STUPID as the arguments of an NDC FOOT SOLDIER or CADRE. Borrowing without limits is named after the Italian banker POnzi. Take money from one lender to pay another. POnzi scheme fails when no one lends you ànymore. Any student of graduate school macro economics knows that No Ponzi is a contraint for optimization. How come a finance minister with expects overlooks such an important constraint and get intoxicated with loans? We are now in distress ànd caught in our LIES. Ghana is done and I pity the poor and u educated who have allowed this good for nothing MEDIOCRE uze their PROPAGANDA, TRIBALISM,LIES and ENVY to destroy the country. We can no longer issue Euro bonds as we have higher premium to pay, IMF is not happy because finance minister has failed to produce necessàry documents. We owe everybody because president is STUPID, and the only way he thinks about money is tax or loans. Now, where do we go from here? IDIOTS.

THE POWEER CRISIS COULD HAVE BEEN SOLVED IF, GHANA HAD WELL EDUCATED AND TRAINED CIVIL(DAM CONSTRUCTION)ELECTRICAL AND HYDROLIC ENGINEERS IN THE COUNTRY.

IT WOULD ALSO BEEN BETTER IF THE GOVERNMENT WOULD HAVE DIRECTED THE HEAVY SUMS IN IMPORTING EXPENSIVE AND LUXURY CARS FOR USE BY EMPTY HEADED POLITICIANS AND THE NOISY EDUCATED FOR THE COMPLETE OVERHAUL OF THE ENERGY SECTOR IN GHANA.

DO WE REALLY HAVE EDUCATED AND TRAINED ELECTRICAL AND CIVIL ENGINEERS IN THE COUNTRY.

THE CONTINUED ENERGY FALL SHOWS THAT, THE SO CALLED EDUCATED IN GHANA ARE STILL NOT EQUIPPED WITH TECHNICAL-KNOW-HOW.

SIMPLY SAD FOR THE NATION.
