The mentality of our old leaders is getting out of hands. Mr. speaker, are you there to continue with the deeds of the NDC? We vote for change and did not see it yet. Most of your actions are generated out of force by the general public.
Ghanaians are looking for jobs and we will see to it that any contract is given to Ghanaians to realise it.

What is wrong of our leaders?
We are watching you and four years is around the corner.

After all your education this is what your priorities are. The Chinese will give you all your wishes so that they can end up polluting our water bodies as well as deplete our forest through galamsey. Now I understand why people say that it's the government that allows these Chinese to do galamsey. You keep on taxing and common parliament chamber too you can't expand.

5A 5000 YEARS OLD SECRET JINNI FORMULA THAT UNLOCKS THE MYSTERIES OF WEALTH AND SUCCES “THE HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING” A SECRET FORMULA unwritten until now, Remember the KINGS and their fabulous wealth? Even today the tomb of the KINGS yields spectacular quantities of GOLD, SILVER, and DIAMONDS AND OTHER PRECIOUS STONES. How did they ever amass these incredible riches? The ANSWER is given in this strongly HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING. The wearer of this RING gets AUTOMATICALLY anything wants he in his life, for e.g. MONEY, FAME, SUCCESS, HAPPINESS, LOVE, POWER, LUCK and so on, they are all yours 17 you are wearing the HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING. If you cannot see the light from where you stand perhaps you has been standing behind a pillar all this time. The appropriate time has now come for you to knock off aside the pillar which has been obstructing your success all these days and if you cannot knock off this pillar at least move out from behind it and see what all awaits you in this universe. Through the Gracious help of great GURU (SAGE) this hidden RING is brought out with a bold assert that no man has upon this world to pass away unannounced. Nobody is to bear a perpetual burden of privation and to court death as the ultimate resort beyond also suffering. This word of happiness is equally desired to be shared by all, but here are many who ping for it and in the long run fall a victim to relentless time not even able to make both the ends meet the other flourish happily in the lap of luxury and pleasure and roll on the bed of wealth. On the hold this GREAT RING after the performance of necessary ceremonies does not fall a prey to any serious malady, his life may be extended to one hundred years, fire, water and air cannot tarnish or destroy this person. He will never in any danger of calamity. Spirits, Demons, Evil of bad Luck, Evil spirits, Black magic will submit to him and never dare do any always pass their time in safety. The nine planets always smile upon them and even KINGs bear submission. This mysterious Ring is the best filler of all desire fear, Grief’s miseries etc. cannot appreciate to the door of the wearer: A person accounted with the RING may turn the council to see his opposes turn dump and loose the power of speech. It is the desire of the great GURU (SAGE) rather my behest that every person of means should hold this great RING which is permanent in stopping premature death. It is a river of vast wealth and reputation apenerial sources of fame and prosperity and the great amulet and charm of the world. Hold this Ring and make your life Glorious and great. Highly Efficacious. Life long and Durable. The cost of this power is too great but because on the special request of the world, I am charging all the devotees only a little amount of GH¢300.84.0547122212

Ghana after 60years of independence is still begging,what does our independence mean if we can not build our own parliament.It is accepted in our society to beg,everyone is begging,friends and relatives will ask for Christmas or birthday present without giving you nothing.We must change our attitude of not trying but always asking or expecting someone to do it for us.The only way forward is when we start using our creativity to solve our own problems.While the government is begging on the international level,individual citizens are doing it at home,what a shameless nation.We beg God to make us wealthy instantly,beg developed nations to help us clean our environment,build schools and roads,help us manage our economy,train our civil servants.Now we are begging another nation to fulfill our electoral promises,one district one factory,the president,when in opposition together with the speaker of parliament made Ghanaians believe they had all the creative minds to run the country.In less than 6 weeks in power their bottom is bare,party foot soldiers are on rampage.I personally hate able bodied people begging instead of challenging themselves.We can address most of our challenges if only we will respect,value and use all our human resource without political and tribal lenses.We have all the resources human and mineral,why do we go begging

Pathetic! Must Ghana always go begging for another country to do its work while we waste our resources on V8s? Do our "leaders" understand what a weak transactional position they keep putting Ghana by always begging for other countries to build our country for us? Whether it's China or the United States, or Great Britain, when are we going to get serious, and begin acting like an "independent" sovereign country, instead of just pretending to be one?

Ghanaian leaders are pathetic. Listen to Ocquaye, and Haruna, who alone can build a new parliament block with his share of the stolen funds.
Listen to them tripping all over themselves for Chinese favor

Wasting money on extra ministers and all that.

This indicates poor planning and vision. If Mahama kept the same number of people in government and used this money to build infrastructure to benefit all, NPP would have turned out to make silly noises.

All these useless MP's who do not contribute to debates in parliament.

With respect to the provision of IT infrastructure as pointed out by Hon. Haruna Iddrisu, such facilities should not be left in the hands of the Chinese. The hacking of the data base of US institutions during their elections must be a wake up call to us. Our local telecom companies are more than capable to provide fast dedicated network systems to serve all parliamentary sectional departments via fiber optics. All that parliamentarians would need will be their laptops or tablet under their armpits.

What use have you been for us citizens to demand for a new chamber with assorted offices and the likes? You guys go there to ply the trade of your employers, parties and self. What is the use of you? Lobbying and corruption is the order of the day. Some of you don't talk nor contribute at the floor. Others sleep heavily. Most of you don't report there for up to 8 times the whole year and others spending their precious time abroad on the taxpayers money in doing your businesses and also at the detriment of the state and your constituents. Forgetting human beings gave you the mandate for a particular purpose. Even laws you enact are flawed ones like corruption being a misdemeanor instead of felony, indemnity clause, foolish ex-gratia, failure passage of RTI bill, nonsense allowance and the likes at the expense and detriment of the citizens. So what is the use of you guys? Even good policies that all of you in your clear convention, conviction and conscience you know should be passed to help your constituents and the nation, because of you guys greed, tribalistic,wickedness,some useless individual who tow party lines or self or you refusal to be engaged,selfish and other evil deeds, you refuse to pass or spoil the basis of the whole things which becomes nonfunctional or doesn't function properly. What is the use of you gutty guys?

A fool that this Speaker of the House is, he thinks only about the big men and women in the country. How about our schools, the hospitals, broken infrastructure, etc. And why should other do our job for us? Why should the Chinese build for us? Is the Speaker that much a moron? How did he get to the post as a Speaker if this is how he reasons? With a fool like this him as Speaker, Ghana is doomed, for sure.
