It encouraging to hear tht our economy is capable of earning 2 billion dollars every 8 months :) Hopefully, we will get back on track and recoup our losses and even make more money soon. We look forward to hearing news about our economy making huge profits rather incurring losses in the future. God bless Ghana.

This shows how lazy this minister and his whole ministry are. Gone are the days when such figures were thrown about. Data is so much abundant these days, it is a shame for a minister of state to go on radio without any numbers crunched and alarm a whole nation with a hollow statement. What are all the analysts and directors at the ministry paid for?

Haruna Iddrisu's brain is not working properly due to constantly hitting his head on the ground five times a day. Stupid fool. NDC is absolutely, useless and they have resort to propagating lies just to win sympathy from naïve, ignorant and clueless Ghanaians. Foolish people will buy into the Minister's irresponsible and reckless statement.

Mr Minister, you are in hot a water. You wanted to take the election petition as an excuse because your government is not performing well and can never perform well because it has a person like you as a Minister.

The economist is asking for the break down or the analysis of your government $2bn loss. I am also interested to know.

Ghana's Currency the Cedi has deteroriated more than 100%, yes 100% in the last four and a half years. So what is he talking about?

A whole Minister talking as if there is no such provision in the electoral constitution of the nation. As if it's a crime to petition the courts of the land to resolve electoral grievances. What's the use of the Supreme Court then. I know if the NDC had the chance they would even abolish the S.C that's why they describe the NPP petition as a waste of time. What a shame. They wouldn't even thank God this petition and the doubtful verdict never culminated into a civil war. Nigeria, Cote D'ivore, etc would have been in a turmoil by now so let Minister Kakabo shut up with his stupid claims.

Dr.Richardson, if I were you,I will not waste my breath on a topic of this nature.Mr. Iddrisu thought he can get away with a blunt propaganda but he is been caught with his hands in the cookie jar.

Just pick up the projections for this fiscal year and do the analysis and one will come up with a proforma loss. However, may be not up to the 2bn but a loss is a loss. Usually, countries such as the U.S. dismiss electoral court cases very swift and quick because of such factors.
