They should come out clean and tell the whole world where they will get that kind of money from under the present economic crises of the country.
Unless they are going to make once again Ghana's coast as the transit quarters for cocaine and other drug dealers including wee smokers. Hmmmmmmmm. campaign promises one after the other. God help us.

The animals were told that electricity would be generated and their usual farm work (the work they had been doing under the supervision of man) would be done mechanically while they spent all their time leisuring and grazing when man was overthrown and the animals were in charge themselves. But we all know what happened when man was finally overthrown and the pigs took over, don't we?

Former First Lady, Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings on Wednesday tagged the New Patriotic Party as nation wreckers who almost destroyed the country in their eight-year rule between 2001 and 2009.

She said corruption was not only massive under the John Agyekum Kufuor-led NPP, but the government was also a violent abuser of its powers.

“We find ourselves in a situation today; having survived the massive corruption of Mr. Kufuor and his NPP and their violent abuse of power, and injustice, yet there are so many countries in the world who still pretend and indeed pamper these people who almost destroyed and collapsed our country with corruption, injustice, nepotism and cocaine.”

Nana Konadu Rawlings was speaking at a public lecture to mark the 17th anniversary of the formation of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) party at the National Theatre in Accra, attended by party faithful and officials.

She said the NDC has shown it is a strong party, surviving several machinations by the NPP, including, 'persecution', 'prosecution' and 'stealing' all in attempts to obliterate the image of the NDC, “but they did not succeed.”
Nana Konadu described the past eight years as a 'great learning curve for the party', offering Ghanaians the opportunity to observe what the NDC's opponents could achieve. “And we saw it, didn't we? Unfortunately, aside from their abysmal mismanagement of every facet of Ghana's development, they persecuted, and prosecuted, and stole and did all within their power to obliterate the image of the NDC.”

She said the NDC was formed out of a strong conviction by millions of Ghanaians that the ideals of June 4th, 1979 and 31st December 1981 should transform into a political force that would stand the test of time.

“That conviction, which was led by my dear husband (Jerry John Rawlings)…and all the other gallant heroes of those days some of whom are still here and are present today, has actually led this great party of ours through very difficult, long and arduous process putting the party together…”

Nana Konadu found it unbelievable that today some people who profess to be NDC members have problems with June 4th and 31st December and their celebration.

“I say it now and probably will forever say it that if you do not believe in the tenets of June 4 that gave a feeling and air of freedom to the ordinary man and woman and gave them back their dignity through justice, accountability, honesty, integrity and also knowing that justice can be done to wrong does when they have gone wrong, then you cannot, indeed you cannot be an NDC member if you don't believe in these things. Then you are definitely in the wrong party.

Before I proceed, let me ask you much did Mahama administration where he got the money to brand those buses with his images?

Do you know the concept of decentralization? Which is an abstract idea or general notion where transfer of authority from central to local government to promote local programs. This is an absolute idea of Nana which exists independently and not in relation to other useless ideas that has not work for us. Hence, the promise of these monies so that the local themselves can plan and implement projects that will benefit instead of the central Government imposing project that will not benefit them.

Think my dear country person and come out with a different concept better than this.

Who organized and let loose the rogues who killed the peaceful demonstrators.? Elements from the party you support, I presume. You are not even remorseful about this heinous act from your own backyard. Rather, like the typical Ndc hireling, you have turned this unfortunate incident into a propaganda tool. To your tradition, taking people's lives does not matter, so long as it suits your political agenda. The wicked elements within your tradition, who motivated innocent young soldiers to abduct, kill and burn three Appeal Court judges and a Military Officer. Did push street urchins who turned out to be lethal murderers, on innocent demonstrators in broaday light, on the streets of Accra. Between the guys who perpetuated the act and the one who did ignore. Who has the greater sin?

The Promise: 1 village 1 dam is not ridiculous as you would want us believe. Siting these in a dessert-like terrain in the northern parts of Ghana, so Ghanaians will be able to grow their own vegetables. And no longer have to travel to Burkina Faso, a virtual dessert, to buy onions, tomatoes and the like. Also, one district one factory should not be a new thing to you. A while ago, you were singing praises to President Mahama for building Komenda Sugar Factory. Though, the raw material to use for processing sugar, the final product, was not ready. If $35 million can be invested this way, nothing should surprise.

This money will not come from taxation because the NPP does not believe in tax increases. It will not come from borrowing because they accuse the NDC of borrowing, so they won't do that. They have already told us many times over that the country is bankrupt, so there will be no money in the kitty to give away freely to constituencies. So please Mr Akufo Addo, tell us where you will get the money from !!!

What surprises most about these promises, is not the fact that Akufo Addo makes them; it is the fact that we actually have fully functional adults in Ghana who BELIEVE these promises. Amazing !!!

Ghanaians do not trust NDC to handle the nation's money. Mahama's administration is associated with too much corruption, gift giving and bribery. Lots of them have become millionaires overnight. A great portion of the nation's money ends up in his cronies pockets. Ghanaians demand a trustworthy government. A government that will decentralise spending to the rural poor to curb overbloating of contracts. The rural communities need to control and manage their spending and not by the corrupt Centralised Government .

Nothing but more deceptions from NPP's bag of deceptions. Where's the money going to come from? Just a clueless and devious desperate flag bearer Akufo-Addo adding more spice to his factory in each district scam.

Anything Nana Addo say NDC will say it can't be possible. They ask where I'd he going to get money to do those project let me remind Mahama and NDC that they will cpigh all the state monies they have stolen .Wayome will pay his 51 million which runs into billions n the old currency. All the inflated projects will be probed and you will see the balance that will come to the state.All the monies that have gone waste through Sada, Suba tree planting will all be recouped and you will see where the money will come from.Corruption in the government is what have starved put country. Ghana is not a poor country.

THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A GOVERNMENT WITH CLEVER PEOPLE AND GOODMINDED PEOPLE AND A GOVERNMENT OF LOOT, SHARE AND DRAIN A COUNTRY OF ITS RESOURCES.THE WASTE, V8 FOUR WHEEL CARS AND ALL THE MONEY THESE PEOPLE ARE LOOTING CAN BE CHANNELED THROUGH DEVELOPEMENT PROJECTS. WHEN KUFFOUR PROMISED ALL THE GOOD THINGS HE DID FOR GHANA, NDC THEN IN OPPOSISTION SAID IT CANNOT BE POSSIBLE, WHERE IS THE MONEY GOING TO COME FROM. BUT WE ALL SAW WHAT KUFFOUR AND HIS NPP GOVERNMENT DID FOR GHANA. NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE IF YOU CHANNEL YOUR RESOURCES TO GOOD PROJECTS WHICH WILL YIELD GOOD RETURNS.
