Now you are begging? The only way we voltarians can express our dissatisfaction about the ill treatment NDC have done to us is to vote NDC out. What about if we vote for you and you still turn your back on us? Is this today that we have voted for NDC? The answer is no but NDC keep turning its back on us as if we are fools. There is no development and when is elections time you come and do few projects for us. We shall vote NDC out this time and if NPP comes and they also do the same. we will also advise ourselves.

When Kwaku Baako informed us about the atrocities of Kwesi Pratt during PNDC Regime, some of us did not believe until the truth was confirmed during the NRC. Kwesi Pratt is the most dangerous Journalist Ghana had ever have, he had the gut to recommend his fellow journalists to be executed by PNDC. Pratt even recommended Baako to be killed by the regime, thank God Baako was instead touchered violently and severely but his life was spared. This is what Kwesi Pratt can do. Now Pratt is a secret agent to NDC and US Embassy in Ghana. May God forgive Pratt and spare him the untold evils that will come upon him and his generations. The souls of those journalist killed through Pratt's recommendations to PNDC will never forgive Pratt. Now Pratt has the guts to take Diplomatic Passport and smuggled his weak-headed children to work at the Ministries under Mills NDC, may God forgive Pratt and his dependance and spare them of the evils ahead of them...

Pratt is the prime minister of Ghana, senior adv to the presidency. What nonsense is he talking when he could have prevented government signing the agreement.
Who is the editor of his paper?

Aren't you a member of John Mahama's government? Is it every Ghanaian who signs these agreements? Redirect your request accordingly Mr Pratt.

It is up to the Voltarians to decide whether Ghana goes forward or backward. Posterity will judge the Voltarians. Vote wisely for the country to go forward. I have decided already so you too should make yours !

Whatever personal grudge anyone has with Pratt should not influence one's
comment on the EPA agreement. At the time, I made a contribution on this forum that, Ghana should learn a lesson from, or,follow the footsteps of the Colonial Master,Britain, which suspended to change the almighty British Pound(£) to the € Euro as adopted by the European Union Member States/Countries,to have sufficient time to study how it goes for Britain to come out with a well thought through decision.With exception of the then flagship, Samia Nkrumah(CPP) all those aspiring to stand for election in the Country at the time,including the incumbent Mahama(NDC),Akufo -Addo(NPP),Paa Kwesi Nduom(PPP),
Dr Lartey(Great Consolidated Party- grow what you eat),etc,etc.were all Mute on the EPA Agreement(and they want to be president).A Minister of State,notably,Hannah Tetteh(Foreign Affairs),turned round to lobbied her govt and ECOWAS Members States on behalf of European Union. Is such a person patriotic! considering the long term effects of the EPA Ag'ment to collapse local Industries,or turn West Africa to European goods dumping grounds. If the Factories would be Shipped/Transferred to Ghana to give Job openings or opportunity to our Youth,fine,without that the EPA Agreement is not worthy of consideration and therefore Parliament should not approve of the EPA Agreement.

Every one has stopped discussing the EPA because government has signed it already. The dealing passed quietly. After commenting on useless things you have now remembered you EPA hobby. Suuuliyah!

Folks Kwesi Pratt and all who agree with him are a sorry bunch that Lilwinn describes as "can't think far". Mr. Pratt and compatriots like JH of New York and Kwabena Nkrumah believe that the EPA will dump EU goods on Ghana and ECOWAS to destroy local local industries. That presupposes that we are not competent enough to compete in the global economy? That sort of thinking is defeatist and anachronistic and advances the notion of black man's inferiority. To the contrary, I believe it is more in our interest in opening their markets to our locally produced goods. It will also open collaborative investments to advance our economic development.we don't have a trade agreements with China , India, South Korea, Vietnam and Thailand but our markets are flooded with goods from those countries? Come to think about it what goods will EU dump on Ghana through EPA? Is it tin tomatoes, corned beef, canned tuna, cooking oils, cotton based textiles, value added tea/coffee:cocao? Or advance technology products? Without agreement we import more cars and digital products from Asia than the EU? You drive through Accra and they full of Hunday, Kia, Toyota , Honda and Nissan.? EPA will encourage ECOWAS economic intergration the will unify markets large Auto companies for example to locate here. Otherwise we will continue to deal with the neocolonial East Asiatic Company( unilrver), counterfeit Chinese and Dubai goods and will be happy. If Dangote, Group Ndoum and others can compete on an international level , " YES WE CAN"!? EPA will allow our local value added goods to enter the EU if they meet their local quality standards. Without EPA we cannot expand non traditional agricultural products or force us in setting up operations to substitute for market attractive products, If countries like Singapore, Taiwan, South Korea can migrate from producing basic products for exports and systematically migrate to high value products in 25 years then the black man ( Ghanaian) in his country can achieve same. It is unfortunate when people who must know better continue to push economic development models that have out lived their usefulness. Mr Pratt the welfare economic development models are dead. Russia, China and Easter Eurooean political parties that practiced thiose models have drop them in favor of private individual initiative models.
I agree we must harness our competitive advantage in natural resources, land , rivers and human assets because countries like Switzerland, Singapore, South Korea and countries which are not endowed like us have done much, much better
Finally let me leave you with the following thoughts:
1. Governments don't create wealth. Individual do.
2. How we think is everything. The half full / half empty idea.
