WHO IS STEALING FROM WHO
According to a story attributed to the NDC MP for Asunafo South district, the NPP plagiarized the NDC’s 2016 budget. In his statement " Paragraph 273 of the 2017 budget says principally that the government has allocated GH¢2.04 million for the procurement of five million improved coffee planting seedlings for free distribution to coffee farmers while in the 2016 budget, paragraph 405 also talked about government allocating GH¢2.0 million for the procurement of two million improved coffee planting seedlings for free distribution to coffee farmers."
Now divide NPP's GHC2.04 Million by 5 million seedlings and the answer is GHC 0.40 per coffee seedling. Then divide NDC's GHC 2,0 Million by 2 Million seedlings and the answer is GHC 1.00 per coffee seedling. Now the question is, Who is stealing from who. I don't really know the university that trained these NDC guys. Universities in Ghana are indeed useless.

The troops are, therefore, appealing to government and authorities concerned to intervene as soon as possible to avoid any unfortunate incident which could go a long way to tarnish the image of Ghana in Peacekeeping.

They most likely were sent there before Akuffo Ado came to power. Investigate and if it is true do the needful

Under feeding of our soldiers in the far away DR Congo in a peace keeping mision must not be politicized.Whether it was during Mahama,s time in office or Akufo Addo,s time.If I may not be mistaken,this is one of the reasons why Kofi Annan,s Mission centre was created to correct certain unavoidable circumstances that might encounter our soldiers in a far away country like DR Congo to bring peace to the people of that country.The peace keeping Mision howbeit,directly fall under the UN security council jurrisdiction must not be left alone in its power, the incumbent Government in Ghana must take all available messures in their limits to ameliorate the scandal facing the contingent of our Arm forces in their call for duty in the DR congo

Is it worth it for them to die in DR Congo? What did Nkrumah not do for South Africa and see how they treat Ghanaians and Nigerians?
In a way, it serves them right. Some of them paid for them to go on peace keeping jobs so that they can earn some Dollars. Now they are crying.
Nana Addo cannot be blamed for their predicament. He did not send them there. the best he can do is bring them back. UN and AU should be blamed.

Bring the soldiers home to compliment our police and neighborhood police in fighting armed robbery and the Fulani Cattlemen.

No government has a hand in the soldiers feeding in peacekeeping operations, the UN contracts someone to be supplying food to the soldiers. But it is the Food officers who connives with the contractors and sell their food. If the enemies within stops this, every soldier will be happy. Why is it that those in South Sudan hardly complains of food shortage but only those in DR Congo? The current leadership of the military should don't brush this aside as the case has always been. Those in charge of the food should just stop selling the food. It is for soldiers not your pocket. These food officers...now they can't sell fuel so all attention is on the food. It is not only politicians who are corrupt.God is watching. Finance officers will soon get their turn.

No Ghanaian should complain.We all bought into lies of this NPP govt and why do the soldiers complain. Look at a senseless idiot saying it's the fault of ExPrez MAHAMA 'cause he gave them $1. Wasted votes for a 'competent' govt. We ask Prof Martey -' Is that the men of wisdom you made so much noise of'? Another bootlicker of NPP has been appointed as Deputy Director-General of NADMO.So your Supreme Court encounters have finally yielded a juicy appointment after dumping PNC? Family and friends govt indeed.

If the soldier's could be trusted not to take advantage of minor's for sex they would be allowed to go to the local markets to buy good inexpensive food to supplement their rations. As a former peacekeeper I am aware that it is the responsibility of the nation that they are from to provide food, accommodations etc for their troops. Not the UN. Their very own comrades have set the precedent for these men. I'll bet their officers are eating very well.
