AUCTION IS SUPPOSED TO BE OPEN PUBLIC EVENT. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO NDC????----- ----- ------- ------ ------ ---- --------------- AUTHOR: STEPHEN DONKOR---- Bro, the sad part of this whole saga is that this criminal entity NDC auctioned off these Toyota Landcruisers which have been used for barely two and three years for only!! Ghc 800 ( $ 200 ) apiece, but ask yourself how much does a wheel barrow costs? A $120,000 car been auctioned off for a pittance. That is NDC for you!!!!!.

What is good for the geese must be good for the gander! Anything they (NPP) did in opposition is now not good because they now form the government? Double standards would not take us anywhere.

We, somehow, have to start from somewhere. If one party did not improve the situation yesterday, that does mean we should live such stigma forever.

It's downright RUDE to watch presenters - Presidents, Ministers - being interrupted after almost every sentence, and all that the lame, old, weak Speakers can say is "Order!, Order!, Order", with no courage to order Security to remove the fools.

Democracy does not mean stupidity.
How can a nation's legislature be so infected with incivility?

Don't compare such behaviour to the U.S. where interruptions are mostly applause and rude interruptions are very, very rare, or the U.K. where one side listens to the presenter finish before taking its turn.

We want to see debate, not chaos.
Let them finish their presentations, after which you can come back with your own counters.

It will be very disappointing for the Minority to heed to this directive. Even though two wrongs do not make right, I think the minority should HECKLE the Minister at least during this first budget then from next year they can heed to this directive. The NPP wants to have their way all the time so just as they disregarded Doe Adjaho's directive the Minority SHOULD ALSO disregard the new speaker's directive, at least for this first one. The Minority SHOULD NOT allow themselves to be cowed into submission OTHERWISE THEY WILL LOOSE VOTES FROM THOSE OF US WHO ARE BITTER ABOUT HOW THEY TREATED THE NDC WHILE THE NDC WAS IN GOVERNMENT. A WORD TO THE WISE IS ENOUGH!!!

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

For or against,Ghana's parliament is simply useless,hopeless,backward, I wonder where they learned that primitive culture to be singing in parliament and making noise,talking, shouting when a president is delivering an address to parliament which everyone besides applause should listen attentively,even if you agree or disagree with the person delivering the address you don't have to be making noise,it is backward, they need to stop that foolishness and behave like normal people do.

Kukurudu side of the August House started this nonsense in our republic. Now, they are calling for a truce when the affairs of Ghana is mandated upon their shoulders to steer, huh? If I were Haruna Iddrisu, I would not have supported the ban just yet, but together with my colleagues, tease them around for a year or two and then allow sanity to finally reign in that A-House.

They only cry foul when in government and does the opposite when sitting desperately on the reserved bench. A trend of theirs known to all.

If parliamentarians are been treated like day nursery children not to demonstrate their dissatisfaction with placards, what will happen to the general public if we want to demonstrate by expressing the reason for our action ? Authoritarianism is what Akuffo Addo is trying to impose on ghanaians even in his few days at the helms of affairs. I personally do not understand why the man called Nana Akuffo Addo is been given preferential treatment as compared to his predecessors. I am praying for him to succeed in all his endeavours but what about if he fail to deliver ? What he is trying to introduce is not good enough to the health of democracy unless he wants to be another " Mugabe ". If even tall person like Kuffuor acted in good faith as the president of the Republic of Ghana, who is this " Ekumey -Ekumey Guarantee Shoes President " to throw his weight on us ? Instead of him to demonstrate the importance of democracy to ghanaians, he is trying to self style himself as the new king of the jungle. The man seems to be a power drunk person who wouldn't mind to impose curfew on us when a gun shot is not even fired from the Gondar Barracks. For me, I think he is talking too much but he needn't be told that " empty barrels are the most sound makers "
