After sacrificing Kwabena Boadu, Bawumia's Aide. Adams Mahama and many, now it is the turn of poor voters. Stoway you are right, It is going to be 4 years of evil leadership. Owusu Bempa needs blood to appease his gods and evil powers and Nana will supply.

Minister of Health Mr. Segbefia, the NPP says since we are in transition, leave the injured alone and do nothing until Nana Akufo Addo assumes office on 07 January 2017. You now realise how stupid the NPP is?

You think like your Chimp President; Military hospitals are manned by soldiers who are doctors and nurses. They are referred to by their ranks.

The other day a Nigerian cargo plane crashed at Kotoka, and then the government claimed responsibility for it and compensated victims. A Commercial plane which doesn't even belong to Ghana? What the heck! Ndc people just wants to create and pile more debts on Akuffo Addo and Ghanaians otherwise how can these government officials behave this way. I dont think madness

Every business carries insurance it is therefore the business fault. THEIR INSURANCE HAS TO CARRY THE COST AND THE GOVERNMENT INSTITUTION IS TO SEE THAT THOSE LAWS ARE CARRIED. INSTITUTIONS IN QUESTION ARE THE COURTS FOR SPEEDY JUSTICE, THE POLICE FOR SPEEDY PROSECUTION OF THE CASE AND THOSE LAWYERS WHO WORK ONLY AGAINST THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN WRONGED. IN THE DEVELOPED COUNTRIES THE INSURANCE OF THE COMPANY WOULD BE THE ONE TO MAKE STATEMENT INSTEAD OF THE GOVERNMENT

If they didn't collapse the health insurance, these people could have simply be seen at the hospitals without any cost to them.

IT IS SO SAD WE THINK FOOTING OF BILLS OF THE DEAD AND INJURED IS WHAT WE NEED TO BE PROUD OF AS A GOVERNMENT ANY TIME PREVENTABLE ACCIDENTS OCCUR. WE SHOULD LET INSTITUTIONS, WHETHER PRIVATE GOVT WORK TO PREVENT THESE COSTLY ACCIDENTS. STATE INSTITUTIONS ARE EXPECTED TO REGULATE THE ACTIVITIES OF BOTH PRIVATE AND PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS WHICH PROVIDE GOODS AND SERVICES TO THE CITIZENRY. SAD TO HEAR THE FIRE SERVICE COMPLAINING THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND WATER FOR THEIR FIRE ENGINES AND WERE QUICK TO BLAME THE WATER COMPANY. THE FIRE SERVICE SHOULD BLAME THEMSELVES TOO. DON'T THEY HAVE A SYSTEM TO AUDIT THEIR OWN SYTEMS REGULARLY TO KNOW IF THEIR HYDRANTS HAVE WATER OR NOT?
TO SIT DOWN AND HOPE THAT ALL WILL BE WELL WHEN WATER IS REQUIRED IS TO BE FOOLISH. THEY MUST HAVE AN UP TO DATE RECORD OF THE STATE AND CONDITIONS OF ALL EQUIPMENT SERVICE POINTS.

THE MISSING BOLTS ON THE TANKER SAID TO BE THE CAUSE OF THE EXPLOSION CONSTITUTES GROSS NEGLIGENCE AND THE COMPANY NEEDS TO BE PROSECUTED FOR MANSLAUGHTER AND MORE. HAVE THEY NEGLECTED LAID-DOWN SAFETY PROCEDURES OR MAYBE THEY HAVE NONE. IN CIRCUMSTANCES LIKE THIS, WHATEVER WORKS WERE DONE ON THE TANKER OUGHT TO HAVE BEEN INSPECTED BY A SECOND OR SOMETIMES EVEN A THIRD WHO WOULD SIGN TO CERTIFY THAT THE WORK HAD BEEN PROPERLY DONE IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPROVED PRACTICES. IN CASE OF SERIOUS LAPSES, ALL THOSE INVOLVED ARE SUBJECTED TO SANCTIONS NOT EXCLUDING OUTRIGHT DISMISSAL AND PROSECUTION. WE NEED TO BE SERIOUS BECAUSE NOW WE SEEM TO TAKE EVERYTHING FOR GRANTED.

Government should rather compel businesses to carry insurance!

Second, government should reconsider its zoning bylaws to ensure commercial areas are separated from resdential areas. It is a mess the way businesses are allowed to operate in residential areas and vice-versa as if laws don't in the country. If we are to be considered as civilised people, we need to learn to organize ourselves like civilised people do.

A LETTER TO THE OUT GOING PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF GHANA
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Mr.President, I write to applaud you for the good works that you have done. Although Many do not understand the plan of Take Off in the development process, as a student who is undertaking B.A Integrated Development Studies In UDS WA Campus, I believe your Continuity would have been a good Opportunity For the Ghanaian Population. Although Ghanaians may not see the qualities you posses and Foundation you Laid, I would not be Surprise to See you At the International Stage (UN).
The UN Believe in you that is Why you Were Appointed as the Co Chairman To Champion SDGs. You are a Man and a Leader who is Humble,Although the People do not See...A man who is Confident yet the People Turn away...A man of Peace Yet the people do not Feel Home.... You have been Tested Your Excellency.
A Scholar once said..."If you want to know the True Character of Man,Give Him Power and Wealth". You have been Tested Mr.President.
Leadership is always Like a two sides of a Coin-Is either the People fall blind to your work and Turn away in ignorance or Others Will appreciate your Efforts.
Naturally others will see it and Push it down.
As a Young Budding Leader, I have always monitored your Speeches and Efforts Towards the Progress of Ghana and your Efforts To the International Community.
Let's Say God/Allah Knows Best to Keep you away from the Presidency. It is Either The People See and appreciate your Efforts or Annul them base on the performance of the Elected One.
As I watch UTV on 18-12-2016 Night News, I wept and Fell For Your Humbleness When you Offered Nana Addo Danquah a Seat for You To Address the Transition Team.
I also Heard Your Wonderful Closing Remarks at The ECOWAS Congregation and How Positive were the Response from your Colleague Leaders. You Could Read from their Faces that Ghanaians are letting Go of a priceless Individual.
You May Take Your leave Sir, but as you are away be mindful that you have People who are Counting on you and they Live to see you One day Even Not In Ghana But a Place were People Will appreciate your Efforts.
Conceding Defeat Is not your Weakness,.but it only shows How Courageous you are and How Submissive, Concern and Just you are. Others May Say You had no Choice, but I will say that It takes a courageous Leader or Man to stand firm For what appears to be a weakness in the Face of the Majority.
I pray Gambia Is able to Resolve their Crises under your Chairmanship and am certain that In Shaa Allah it will be Counted as Part of Your Achievements To the International Community.
Indeed History(Great People) will Judge you.
Your Excellency, This Write Up is the least I can say to Say thank you. Thank you For Reading.
(Thank you)

The Asiedu Nketsia who was critical of a Brigadier General head of the 37 Military hospital is just one of those stupid ignoramuses who come on this platform to spew garbage and expose their ignorance and absolute idiocy. What he does not know is that most of the doctors at the military hospital are trained military personnel who carry the military rank and rise through the ranks as they practice their profession as doctors. People like this Asiedu man are always on the platform commenting on issues they barely understand. The only thing they do is to either criticize ignorantly or insult people for no reason. This idiot and people like him have so much occupied the media space to the extent that decent and knowledgeable people will certainly not waste time competing with them. The media space and, particularly, Ghanaweb has been reduced to platforms of mediocrity and thrash. May God help our nation Ghana.

THE NDC EXPOSES THEIR INCOMPETENCE EVERYWHERE. WHY SHD THIS "IDIOT" SADDLE THE IN-COMING GOV'T WITH THE BILL? WHAT HAS THE GOV'T GOT TO DO WITH THIS EXCEPT THE NDC INCOMPETENCE IN NOT ENFORCING RULES AND MAKING SURE THOSE RESPONSIBLE ARE HELD ACCOUNTABLE? WHAT HAS UR GOV'T DONE FOR THE OVER 150 PEOPLE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES AND THOSE INJURED IN THE SAME SITUATION LAST YEAR?
