Does President Mahama think Ghanians are that stupid. Why is he talking about ending corruption when he and most of his party members are robbing our nation's of our wealth. What happened to the gold bars which ended up in Turkey? Why is our country been robbed blind when our leaders are sitting by doing nothing.
I can,t believe Ghana in 2013 is lining up for water in the capital city of Ghana.

Ithink we will be better off having the white man rule us again since our leaders are leading our nation to nowhere.

Why can,t these politicians think of building our nation with good roads, water, and electricity instead of giving our nation's wealth to the white rich nations. I read somewhere about Lawrings visiting the Prince in Saudi Arabia. Why is he still been called the President and not former president?. Are reporters afraid to call him the former president? We hear more about this former president. In the news that our new president. President Mahama are you hiding this former president who for 20 years did nothing for Ghana in your cabinet?

We got these Chinese who are taking over our country and our young girls.
President Mahama, please help our young girls to have education instead of them chasing these people. Enough is enough because our nation which used to be one of the best in Africa, is now going nowhere.

Ghanians fight for your nation from these corrupt politicians.

Mr President stop talking and act! Watch your own backyard and spare us all this cheap talk. What measure are you putting in place or at least what did you do when you were Veep to stop this? Where were you when government overspent its budget? to what extent has that expenditure help alleviate the suffering of Ghanaians who ignorantly voted you into power?

Show you are serious and not just full of "talk" for Africa!

Enact the Freedom of Information Bill for Ghana now!

That is important in controlling the so-called "silent corruption" in Africa.

Prof Lungu,for your information,the passage of bills is the sole responsibility of Parliament,so if you have a bone to pick direct it to your inept Ghanaian legislators not the President.Now,he can exert pressure but when push comes to pull,Prof Lungu,Parliament is where you have to direct your angst.
What the President can do is,instead of creating Ministries for Chieftancy and Gender,Women and Children,he should create a cabinet for the eradication of corruption with autonomous powers including the issuance of soepenas. That would be give an impetus to the wish of all and sundry to systematically extricate the tentacles of corruption from our national body politic.
When it comes to the Freedom of Information Bill,Ghanaians need to know that they have a huge role to play by pressuring their respective representatives to enact that law.Its their civic responsibilities.Participation in the political process is not limited to voting only.Citizens MUST keep their parliamentarians on their toes for it to all work.Sitting around and expecting the government to do everything is not the way to practice democracy.All hands should be on deck.

Yeah, right, "the sole responsibility of Parliament"!

So you do not think Mahama has a role, do you?

If you do, what is size of Mahama's role vs. the role of the voter?

And if the role of citizens is important, who is responsible for educating and mobilizing citizens to push parliament to act?

What is mahama saying after he has increased his salary from 60 million to 120 million , appointed his girl friends as deputy ministers , appointing useless northerners as ministers and deputy ministers , chief executives,throwing Ghana's hard earned money into useless ventures like non existent guinea fowl and tree planting projects and distributing latest 4 wheel toyota cars to non entities like abeeku santa just because he declared open endorsement for mahama.
Who is more corrupt than mahama ?
Mahama shouldnt waste our ears on corruption because he is the most corrupt president Ghana has ever had.He teamed up with Afari djan to rig the elections so he shouldnt talk about what he is the first victim.
God save us from this vampire.

mr elegant atenga,
listen to my advice. the elite put you in power, to milk our nation. just stay away from them. they will invite you let you read what they have written. start delegating. send ythe governor of bank of gh. remember the scenario of the woman accused of adultery. who among the panel has never had a corruption encounter. these shameless african monkey type of elitism have to portray a clean sheet to their masters. african heroes have only one thing in common. a good servant not to God but his corrupted, unhuman, racist master the whiteman. a cursed master, a cursed servant, a cursed product, a cured consumer etc......
