  NO TOLL BOOTH ON FUFULSO-SAWLA ROAD
  Why is there no Toll Booth on the 140 Km Alsphatic Fufulso-Sawla Road? Is it because the road leads to Prez Mahama's hometown? Is this not contrary to the national road policy? Why is Prez Mahama permitting this treachery? The Accra-Kumasi road is about 200 Km yet has 3 Toll Booths. The Accra-Aflao Road is less than 200Km and also has 3 Toll Booths. What about the Accra-Aburi Road? The road is less than 50Km and yet has a Toll Booth. By using the National Road Standard for siting toll booths the Fufulso-Sawla road should have had at least 2 Toll Booths but nay, there is no single toll booth on that stretch of road 3years after its construction and Mahama is happy with that. This same Mahama will later turn around to say that there is no money to employ teachers and nurses and later go and borrow money at high interest rate to construct roads. Is this prudent management of the Ghanaian economy or are Ghanaians now colonized by the Western Gonja Caliphate and so other Ghanaians should sweat for Mahama's Family and friends. Who knows, may be the money used for the construction of the Fufulso- Sawla Road is part of the money Kufuor secured for the construction of the Hydro-dam in the Upper East Region and which was later divert by the NDC government to construct roads in the Northern Region - the home region of President Mahama. May God save us from the evil hands of Mahama

  Great Fiction or Whatever you call yourself, be property informed before you make public pronouncement. Do you have facts to support your comment. Can you tell us exactly or approximately how much cash Nkrumah's government inherited from the British after independence? Majority if not all of the projects he accomplished were made possible by borrowing. Yes, he made mistakes but not on the scale that we are seeing today by our leaders. He delivered a lot with very limited resources. Your hatred for him is borne out of ignorance and partisan politics and not of patriotism.

  Well said Prof, simply the truth.Leaders must sit up and review the policies Nkrumah stood for and pick what are relevant today.

  Prof., the factories collapsed because of the poor raw material base and internal market prevailing at the time. They could also not compete on the international market duebto high production costs. They therefore became white elephants and a drain on our cocoa and mineral resource fed economy. The CPP Govt. of the day should have focused more on mordenising and encouraging large scale private investment in agriculture as Ivory Coast did. Small scale agro based industry would have been the appropriate next step. STOP BLAMING OTHER GOVERNMENTS who have done better than the CPP.

YOUR OTHER GOVERNMENTS WERE MYOPIC PUPPETS OF THE IMF & WB WHO CHEAPLY SOLD THESE SOLID ASSETS FOR PEANUTS & SQUANDERED THE MONEY!!! NKRUMAH HAD HIS FAULTS BUT NO GOVERNMENT: BE IT NLC, PP, NRC, SMC, AFRC, PNP, PNDC, NDC OR NPP COMES EVEN CLOSE TO HIS ACHIEVEMENTS!!!

  We produced tyres, tv, radios, milk, corned beef, toilet rolls, cooking pots, matches, tinned tomatoes, alcoholic beverages and shoes. We should be ashamed of ourselves cause we started together with China, Malaysia, India and South Africa. Where are we now. Just buying and selling. Leaders who only knew how to sell dog chains.

  Prof. Stop living in nostalgia . The economic models Nkrumah copied have all imploded or collapsed .
  Note it's been proven that governments do not create sustainable wealth. It is entrepreneurs in society that creat most wealth. Governments are best at creating the right environments through policies for individuals initiatives to solve their own problems . And to help those who can not help themselves
  Government factories are not sustainable economically. Let us have faith in our selves instead of thinking government can solve our unemployment problems with government factories.

  Nkrumah alone eradicated extreme poverty from Ghana through his education and factory policies.
  
  Look at the results of Nkrumah factory policies: We produced tyres, tv, radios, milk, corned beef, toilet rolls, cooking pots, matches, tinned tomatoes, alcoholic beverages and shoes. We should be ashamed of ourselves cause we started together with China, Malaysia, India and South Africa. Where are we now. Just buying, importing from their colonial masters and selling to the poor consumers poorly made goods.
  
  Poor African leaders impoverished Ghana and Africa because they think poorly of the people of Africa and not richly as Nkrumah did.
  
  Surely, the Osagyefo eradicated extreme poverty in Ghana and his political opponents restored it.

  EVEN THEN, ARE YOU NOT AWARE OF THE CRIPPLED GHANA RAILWAYS, WHICH WAS ONCE THE ECONOMIC BACKBONE OF GHANA.
  
  THE EDUCATED AND LAWMAKERS HAVE ONLY CONTINUED TO DESTROY THE SOLID FOUNDATION BUILT FOR THE COUNTRY BY THE CPP AND OSAGYEFO DR KWAME NKRUMAH BEFORE AND IMMEDIATLY AFTER INDEPENDENCE IN 1957.
  
  ITS GREED,MANIPULATION,EMBEZZLEMENT AND STEALING BY THE SO CALLED EDUCATED AND POLITICIANS THAT HAVE DESTROYED THE NATION.

  People should stop Nkrumah this Nkrumah that. Do you know why the price of milo made in Ghana is higher than one imported from overseas. It is because of how Nkrumah started Ghana.
