All our professionals are stomach politicians. They use their knowledge to twist facts for politicians.

How can anyone say Nana Addo should not reduce utility tariffs when people voted for him based on the promise to reduce? This so-called economist never uttered a word against it!!! No doubt he merely wants to seek favors.

The economist said we have no money for subsidies but prices are high because bills are loaded with taxes. Reducing or cutting out the taxes will allow us to breath

Nana Akufo Addo should on assumption of office on 07 January 2017, immediately reduce utility tariffs. Nana Akufo Addo has the so called best economist in Ghana, Dr. Bawumiah who advised him to reduce tariffs on assumption of office. Dr. Bawumiah who is an self-acclaimed prophet, had all the relevant information at the time Nana Akufo Addo was hopping from Chief to chief making such promises. Not only did he talk about utility tariffs, he also mentioned taxes at the ports as well. Free SHS education, one district one factory, dams at all the villages in the Northern, U/E and U?W regions. $1 million to each of the 275 constituencies each year, reducing corporation and Income Taxes. Indeed for a person to make all these promises to win elections means the person is wicked, fraudulent and treacherous. I am also waiting for him to put more money in my pocket as well. Nana finally said, we Ghanaians are sitting on money but we are hungry. 'Ibi so'!

Ghana voted massively for Akuffo Addo because of the wonderful reducing of taxes promises he gave us all. Do you read why he won the election with great margin? It basically is because of the promises to make life better for all of us.

After all nobody knows Akuffo since he had not done any good thing for us in Ghana before but because of the wonderful promises he was voted into power therefore there should not be any foolish people who now will be telling him not to do this and that which is in link to the promises given to the nation during the campaign.

If it were to be other things or reasons people should have preferred voting Mahama to be there because of the infrastrtural development he registered. Whether some like it or not due to their tribal and political bigotry that is a reality on the ground.

Without hate people can say Mahama left something good on the ground, but only no monies in our pockets so Akuffo Addo will reduce things for us to have monies in our pockets. We cherish that with great expectation. Mr Economist stay away with your book economics, were where you then?

Akuffo Addo made the difference with the promise so surely we are all looking forward to the fulfilment of those wondeful promise that we believe can bring the needed changes we are looking forward to have through his administration and not that of Kufour who also left debt like Nahama.

Don't worry Ghanaians have strong brains to think for themselves. Where was this so called economist when people were agitating for reduction in tariff. Well, may be at that time he was dumb and has suddenly found his voice to now speak against any move to reduce tariff. We wish to remind them we would never tolerated any hypocrisy. They must be ready to fulfil the promises per the set target time.

Where was this so call economist when Nana and his Messiah bawumiah were all over the the promising to reduce utility tariffs within the first 100 days of their government. Why didt he advice them that they will need one year to do that. Beside Nana said we have a lot money and yet we suffering so why is the economist saying there is no money.

The country has money to pay emoluments to the outgoing president and MPs, and no money to reduce tariffs for the working people. Illiterate!

Please get lost with your bogus ideas. The incoming govt knows what to do; there is a difference in theoretical analysis and practical aspects of real economy. Allow our President-elect, Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo and his team of experts to do the job; you don't have to cause any anxiety here. It's okay to make suggestions but there should be a limit---Ghanaians want good solutions to their plight or suffering. Please allow the incoming Nana and his incoming govt some space to organize to tackle the job ahead. They have competent people who are ready to do the job.

Which of the campaign promises made by Nana Addo, did he place a time limit to roll-out or to complete ? Could anyone proved an answer if they know? 1. One-district-one-factory 2. One-village-one-dam 3. One-constituency-one million dollars 4. Reduction of Utility bills 5. Reduction of VAT I asked this question because we can all judge him on this promises if he fails to execute them within the stipulated time. Or within the first 4 years or 8 years term.

Nobody forced Nana Addo to promise a reduction in utility tariffs. Whether he likes it or not he will reduce tariffs. Where were u when he was making the promises? We won't listen to any Kwaku Ananse story.

No wonder , u have not acquired PhD in economics. where were u before those with the so called PhD in economics were making the promises ? do u know better than them ? if that is the anti campaign fulfilment strategy they gave u to polarise the mentality of Ghanaians before they come on power, let me assure u that it will not work. they claimed the NDC government was not doing things right and promised to correct all their wrongs , then what are u telling us? this even shows u don't merit the office u hold. instead of u telling them telling them on the spot that those promises can not be achieved u kept quite under their while ur other colleagues came out publicly yo back them that the promises are achievable. hmmmm.shame. tell them that the cane used to whip mahama awaits them in the corner should they fail to fulfil their promises.

The promise is for four years not eight year master. Utility tariffs and taxes are within the 100days period which we are waiting for. They promise us heaven on earth.
