Mr president you may realise your dream if you immediately terminate the chief director ing. Boamah's never ending contract. He together with Fiifi Kwertey are the architects of the failure of Ghana's agriculture.

Nana Addict, don't count your chickens before they are hatched. That your agricultural economist behaves exactly like liar Bawumia. They promise heaven while they cannot even deliver Kokrobite. The dollar is running faster than Usain Bolt. The prophet Bawumia and his Fulani wife Samira are nowhere to be seen. Anyway our thumbs are ready for 2020.

From the start, we all believed in Mahama to move Ghana forward but in the end he turned out to be corrupt and a thief. Even as he left the presidency, state cars must lost, apart from trions of Ghana Cedis he stole. He has even gone to the bitter extent of steling (his own) car he took as bribe.

Don't Use 'Missing Cars' Saga As Excuse To Buy More - Gyampo

Political Science lecturer Prof Ransford Gyampo has said the New Patriotic Party and the Akufo-Addo government must not the saga of the alleged missing 208 state cars to procure new ones.

He has described the media discourse over the matter as a “monumental shame”, saying the NPP’s harp on it sounds “propagandistic” and “diversionary” and urged the party to “focus on governance and govern well” because the mandate given to them by Ghanaians is “huge”.

“Don’t dissipate this goodwill by focusing on minor issues,” he urged.

Speaking on Multi TV’s Newsfile programme on Saturday, 11 February, Prof Gyampo said he doubted if the 208 cars were actually missing, arguing that the fact that they are not at the presidency does not mean they are missing.

He also expressed misgivings about the roles played by Administrator General David Yaro and former Attorney General Nii Ayikoi Otoo in the whole saga given the two individuals could have helped matters had they played their roles well. Mr Ayikoi Otoo headed the sub-committee on the transition team that dealt with cars at the presidency.

Meanwhile, the controversy surrounding the saga is getting murkier as different figures of the presidential fleet keep popping up.

While Mr David Asante, a member of the governing NPP’s communication team insists the new administration met a total of 218 state vehicles at the presidency, out of which 173 are “serviceable” and 45 “abandoned at a place called ‘Kosovo’” in a “completely shattered and broken down” state, a statement issued by former Deputy Chief of Staff in the erstwhile Mahama administration, Mr Johnny Kofi Osei, lists a total of 641 as the total number of vehicles handed over to the Akufo-Addo government by the Mahama government.

Also, Mr Asante, on Saturday said on Newsfile that a document handed over to the Akufo-Addo side of the transition team by one Sulley Abubakar, Head of Logistics at the presidency in the former administration, indicated that there were a total of 426 vehicles at the Flagstaff House.

According to him, however, despite the different numbers submitted by Mr Sulley Abubakar and Mr Johnny Osei Kofi, the Akufo-Addo government met only a total of 218 cars at the presidency.

Meanwhile, the Administrator General has come out to publicly state that the outgone government handed over a total of 678 cars even though his office did not take physical inventory of the cars.

According to Mr Yaro, former Chief of Staff Julius Debrah should be queried about the whereabouts of the alleged missing 208 state vehicles at the presidency since documents covering all state properties including the cars at the seat of government were signed off by Mr Debrah during the work of transition team.

Speaking in an interview with Class News' Joshua Kodzo Mensah on Friday, 10 February, Mr Yaro said: “If there are areas that need clarification, the minister going out is invited to help to go through the clarification and everything before you (new minister) sign and take off. One way of making sure they (cars) are missing is that you had your copy of the handing over notes, did you discover the missing vehicles during the transition? If you did, was it raised with whoever signed? In the case of the office of the president, it was signed off by the Chief of Staff, so, the former Chief of Staff should have been questioned to explain how those vehicles came not to be there,” Mr Yaro explained.

“We are shocked and we feel very bad about this situation because between 2001 and 2009, similar things happened, and, so, the law establishing our office was promulgated to take care of such things to stem the occurrence of such things. So, if they are happening again, it’s so sad. It means our law is not being very effective or we are not respecting the tenets of the law.”

Meanwhile, former MP for North Dayi, George Loh, on Newsfile described the allegation by the new government as a “joke”, which the Akufo-Addo administration is using as a “propaganda tool to purchase new vehicles”.

The Kufuoor administration promised to modernize agriculture in tandem with rural development. After 8 years the rural areas remained underdeveloped and the young people continued to migrate to urban centers of Ghana without jobs.
The most visible development that occurred during the 8 years of NPP government involved recurring rise in the producer prices of cocoa that turned our cocoa farmers into unprogrssive greedy petty-capitalists. The penchant for money affected the quality of cocoa beans, some of which were rejected by buyers overseas. The recurring rise in producer prices of cocoa in Ghana encouraged smuggling of cocoa to Ghana from Ivory Coast.
The new minister of agriculture must pay attention to the destruction of farming lands in Ghana immediately. In order not to spend money on labor for land clearing, Ghana's cocoa farmers have become addicted to the use of defoliates which in turn destroys soil nutrients hence depletion of naturally occurring farm produce like snails and mushrooms. The farmers claim they are forced to use the defoliated because they get the supply of the chemicals from the ministry of agriculture --- welcome Monsanto and GMO.
President Akufo-Addo could have saved us some money by creating a unified ministry of agriculture and rural development.

Mr President,as for the free school policy I do not have problem except management issues otherwise it is laudable.Factories as promised must be sited where necessary and not every district per factory,again the same applies to the dams policy and not a village per dam,because dams have specific places suitable for siting them and not every where.

Nana my advice to you is to stop dreaming. Dr. Akoto never did anything good as an M.P during my stay in Kwadaso. In fact he was a complete failure and a flop hence stop over trusting him. Though his father was a farmer and had a lot farms doesn't translate into how compete he would be. Farming entails a lot than plantain and cocoa farms. How many times did personally go the farm during his youthful days? President talkative.

During his vetting, Owusu Afriyie was very disappointing and gave me two causes for concern. Firstly, he tried to convince the panel that he had studied a language called "Asante" to "O" Level standard. He nearly got away with that until the chairman demolished that nonsense by explaining that there was no language called Asante. Rather it is Twi which is the core language spoken by the Asantes, Fantes, Akuapems, etc in their respective dialects. Hence, Asante Twi, Fante Twi, Akuapem Twi etc collectively known as Akan. Owusu Afriyie nearly got away with it but he was caught out and tried to make a joke of it.

Secondly, anytime his PhD was mentioned, he looked uncomfortable and took a large gulp of water. Why??
On the subject of his PhD alone, the poor man finished about two bottles of water. It should be a subject which brings out his confidence but it didn't. I'm not suggesting anything, but something is NOT quite right there.
