AUTHOR : TIMBUKTU - - - - - - WHY DO I WANT NANA TO WIN? UNLIKE KUFFOUR WHO JAILED ONLY 6 HIGH PROFILE NDC THIEVES , NANA HAS THE BALLS TO JAIL ALL THESE NDC CRIMINAL MOTHER-FUCKERS! Things are improving FAST in Tanzania, Nigeria, Rwanda, Ivory Coast, etc, because they now have no-nonsense, incorruptible presidents who are determined to improve the socio-economic statuses of their respective countries. Ghana too MUST change for the better. Ghana NEEDS Akuffo Addo!

AUTHOR: CLOSE OBSERVER-------- Stupid people are dominating our leadership positions. NDC does not believe that Ghanaians are suffering. Ghanaians will therefore not see the end of their problems until the USELESS NDC government is voted out in 2016. JOHN MAHAMA DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING AT THE PRESIDENCY. HE IS JUST CELEBRATING HIS POSITION LIKE AN AFRICAN MOVIE ACTOR. VOTE HIM AND HIS MEDIOCRE NDC GOVERNMENT OUT IN 2016. NDC NOW WANT MONEY FOR THEIR DIRTY POLITICAL CAMPAIGN, HENCE THE PRICE HIKE

Why would Dzifa Attivor states that,

"If you don't vote for us and NPP comes to power, they will jail us"?

She was the transport minister when the whole Kumasi Airport refurbishment or tarmac was done.

This is the ugly truth about the rot in the system (many more have been swept under the carpet). My criticism of the current government is premised on the fact that JDM has totally deviated from the core values of true statesmen – truth, honesty, integrity, justice, probity and accountability. There is the need to re-engage and focus on these values. so we are changing him. The loot and share must stop! The uncivilized tendency to insult and vilify those who do not endorse the current ways of doing things must stop! Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments should not be changed for light or transient causes. But when a government decides to put aside our values and superintend over corruption and ineptitude, it is the right, it is the duty of the people to throw off such government in 2016 elections.

Mahama is so heartless, wicked and corrupt that he wouldn’t blink stealing from a helpless orphan. Please read the following:
Ghana’s President Hurls Insults At Obasanjo At African Forum In London - bloomberg

There was near pandemonium and confusion at the Annual Global African Investment Forum held in Westminster, Central London after a heated exchange between Ghana’s President John Mahama and former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo degenerated into open insults.This was due to General Obasanjo openly accusing the Ghanaian president and his government of blackmailing and collecting bribes from Nigerian businessmen in Ghana, buying numerous properties in Nigeria and South Africa and financially contributing 12 million dollars to Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign last year. This infuriated President Mahama who lost his temper and pointing his finger, called General Obasanjo an ” idiot” and a “silly buffoon”.It took other ministers present as well as Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni to calm tempers and usher President Mahama to a nearby room. The forum, which takes place from 1st to 3rd December is attended by African Heads of States, Ministers, Private equity firms and investors to discuss opportunities for investment and development in African Economies.

Culled from Bloomberg.

They know the cost of everything but they don't have value of anything. To them they did well by not doing anything about the Kumasi airport for the whole 8years they were in power. Now that Mahama is doing it they have complained and complained and complained. Mahama would have done nothing if he waited until he could do it so well such that no one would complained about it.

Cheap propaganda from ignoramuses. These NPP morons spent over $120 million dollars, to build that ugly presidential palace, far in excess of the $36 million it wa budgeted for, and they have the audacity to talk about corruption. They should learn to study the aviation industry well before coming out to expose their ignorance. Yes, you can build an aerodrome for even $5 million like one found in Gao in Mali, but do they really know what it takes to build a 7,000 m runway with a Load Classification Number (LCN) of 40? Let these cheat idiotic morons go and check how much is being budgeted for the third runway at Heathrow airport. It is time Ghanaians grow up, get educated in any specialized field of endeavor they want to comment on, so that they spare us the nonsense and embarrassment. The NPP and their surrogates exhibited their low IQ and ignorance on the cost of the Kasoa and Circle Interchanges without checking nature and specifics of the projects only to be exposed by their own MP. Perhaps they do it deliberately, thinking that we are all that stupid and gullible as their empty-headed supporters who just will neither think nor ask questions, but believe in any trash thrown out on the airwaves by their mischievous leaders.

The amount of money that was spent on the Kumasi airport runway and a few structures is nothing but gross theft of public funds. That amount should have constructed an entire airport.

How much was hotel wawa and you are talking about spending $22million on renovation of Kumasi- Airport. What happened to the railway line? Don't you know it was during NPP time that Ghana's diplomatic passport was severely disgraced when a sitting MP was arrested with cocaine?. What did you guys want from JDM?

The writer talks of renovation of runway for 29 million dollars as against new airport for 22 million dollars. Did he take the pain to find out out the category of runway as far as safe and reliable flight operation is concerned? Ignorant people paint surface pictures of reality while technical know-how people look for the critical elements of reality. The writer should have consulted aviation operators and experts for advice and putting the findings in the public domain rather than blatantly displaying his individual ignorance of the subject he sought discuss
