  That is the signature of notorious and nation wrecker NDC party. Shoddy projects are signatures of NDC party. Why? If the project cost was $2 million, NDC would inflate it to $4 million, and they would use just $1 million for the project. Their evil party officials would pocket $3 million. That is the nature of NDC men who were governing our beloved country.

  When Kwaku Baako informed us about the atrocities of Kwesi Pratt during PNDC Regime, some of us did not believe until the truth was confirmed during the NRC. Kwesi Pratt is the most dangerous Journalist Ghana had ever have, he had the gut to recommend his fellow journalists to be executed by PNDC. Pratt even recommended Baako to be killed by the regime, thank God Baako was instead touchered violently and severely but his life was spared. This is what Kwesi Pratt can do. Now Pratt is a secret agent to NDC and US Embassy in Ghana. May God forgive Pratt and spare him the untold evils that will come upon him and his generations. The souls of those journalist killed through Pratt's recommendations to PNDC will never forgive Pratt. Now Pratt has the guts to take Diplomatic Passport and smuggled his weak-headed children to work at the Ministries under Mills NDC, may God forgive Pratt and his dependance and spare them of the evils ahead of them...

  All of you commenting are so short sighted it beggars belief. First of all in case you don't know, there has been a change in government. This government won't honor what his predecessor did so that the project will look like a failure. Second of all, if the government wants to create employment by using the said facilities, why not consult on the planners and previous government to see how we can start benefiting from it? After all, Ghanaians money was used for the project. And lastly, the sooner all these NPP supporting idiots stop with the NDC is corrupt, Mahama is a thief bandwagon, the better. Ghana is going downhill and our lack of foresightedness means we are not progressing as we should instead, we have been reduced to insulting each other including our elders. Bloody hell. Get over yourselves and I believe until you have a progressive comment to make, stay off this platform. Damn.

  And this John Mahama character and the NDC insult Ghanaians by saying they are coming to power in 2020.
  Does anybody remember what these jokers were saying when they commissioned this frivolity of a senseless screaming loot? They said Ghana had been turned to New York. Go and check, that was what the unintelligent clueless thieving crooks were saying in Ghana here. Afriyie Ankrah, Vanderpuiye, etc were telling Ghanaians that joke, had turned Ghana into New York.
  Are these human beings that have demonstrated they are serious and can be serious???? Whilst some are borrowing and making sensible, intelligent investments in their economy to engender growth, these thieving miscreants were borrowing to loot, leading to the worst economic decline in over two decades, at the time they were leaving office.
  And they somehow believe they are coming back to power in 2020. The question is, what are they smoking??? It must be very good.

  Thieving Mahama and his henchmen were so obsessed with Dubai that everything they did or touched reflected that, including of course the millions of dollars that they stole on their pet projects like these. Whilst his own region roads are untarred and contituents are without potable water, he was quick to erect this white elephant at Circle, amongst others just to make it look like he was doing good.
