12.President John Dramani Mahama has added a whopping GHc15.6 BILLION DOLLARS to Ghana’s total public debt stock since being sworn into office as caretaker and substantive president within the period from July 2012 to August 2013.
This implies that President John Mahama has contracted a total of GHc15.6 BILLION DOLLARS of debt for Ghanaians since becoming the President of Ghana.
WHAT DO WE HAVE TO SHOW FOR ALL THIS DEBT? LOOK AT GH? SMELLY, DUSTY...OPEN GUTTERS I MEAN WHY? HOW? WHO VOTED FOR NDC? GO N CLAIM YOUR SHARE....NDC AND NPP ARE BOTH CORRUPT, BUT YOU DONT NEED
A PHD TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE 2 MAIN POLITICAL PARTIES IN GH. NPP AT VERY LEAST WILL INNOVATE AND INSTITIUTE PUBLIC SECTOR REFORM, RULE OF LAW, POLICIES FOR ALL...LIKE NHIS, SCH FEEDING ETC.
THE NDC IS JUST WORSE. THEY R SIMPLY GOOD FOR NOTHING SO WHY PPL QUEUE FOR HOURS TO VOTE FOR SUCH A PARTY BEATS ME.

14.Mr Paul Victor Obeng, has made a strong case for the need to ensure that increasing access to the Internet does not lead to the importation of alien cultures.
“While increasing access to the Internet would improve the socio-economic circumstances, its negative influences call for a concerted effort to counter the bad influence.
Increasing access should not lead us to the importation of attitudes that are incompatible with our social norms,” he said.
WAT IS PV'S PROBLEM? WESTERN NATIONS LIKE CANADA, AMERICA, BRITAIN, GERMANY ETC ALL HAVE INTERNET TECHNOLOGY READILY AVAILABLE FOR THEIR CITIZENS. HAS IT IMPACTED THEIR CULTURE NEGATIVELY?
EVEN BEFORE INTERNET, WE WERE SELLING/THROWING AWAY OUR CULTURE. WAT HAPPENS AT INDEPENDENCE MARCHES IN GH, 6 MARCH. DO WE EVEN POUR LIBATION ANYMORE?

MAHAMA SAYS: LET THEM EAT CAKE....
...TARRIFS ARE GOING UP ALL ACROSS THE BOARD IN GH. YET, WE DONT SEE AN IOTA OF AN IMPROVEMENT IN PUBLIC SERVICES OR QUALITY INFRATSRUCTURE. WHERE R THE NDC VOTERS?
ILLITERACY/LACK OF BASIC EDUCATION HAS CAUSED THE PPL TO VOTE OUT OF SHEER EMOTIONS AND ETHNIC JUDGEMENTS.
PUMPING MONEY INTO PUBLIC SERVICE ISNT THE WAY TO GO. ESP IN TODAY'S CASH STRAPPED, TECHNOLOGY INSPIRED WORLD. GOVT MUST STREAMLINE THE PUBLIC SECTOR.
WE HAVE DISTRICT, MUNICIPAL/CITY, REGIONAL AND FEDERAL GOVT . STREAMLINE THE GOVT N REMOVE THESE QUACK/QUASI, USELESS GOVT INSTITUTIONS WHICH EXIST BUT DONT DO ANYTHING TO RENDER EFFICIENT SERVICE OR COLLECT REVENUE.
1.CHECK PUBLIC SECTOR CORRUPTION. INSTITUTE CORRUPTION COURTS!
2.REDUCE PUBLIC SECTOR WAGES.
It is for this reason that all governments, especially their finance ministers and their teams, always make it a priority to stop the ghost names phenomenon that has bloated the payroll in
the public service. Regrettably, the phenomenon is still alive in the public service at this stage when we are told that about 70 per cent of our revenue is used to service the public wage bill.
3.HIRE LESS PPL TO PROVIDE EFFICIENT SERVICE. WE NEED DISCIPLINE, CLEAR OVERSIGHT, CHECK N BALANCES N PATRIOTIC HARDWORKERS IN THE SYSTEM.
GH IS PRESENTLY IN A DEFICIT CRISIS. WE BORROW, BUT DONT PAYBACK OUR LOANS. NDC IS THEIR LAZINESS HAS PUT IN PLACE AN AUTERITY PROGRAM TO KILL GHPPL.
THEY HAVE INTENTIONALLY DEVLAUED THE CEDI. RAISED INTEREST RATES SO YOU AND I CANT CONSUME AND BE FORCED TO SPEND LESS, WITH LESS CONSUMPTION.
INSTEAD OF STOP THEIR BORROWING, AND PAY BACK THE DEBT. THEY ARE ENJOYING AND MAKING YOU AND I SUFFER.
4. FACTORIES
GH REVENUE SOURCE: TAXES. INTEREST ON LOANS, GRANTS FROM OUTSIDE FOR REVENUE GENERATING INFRAS VENTURES IN GH. STREAMLINE INDUSTRIES, GOVT MUST CUT DOWN SPENDING,
WIDEN TAX BASE, EXPORT MORE, IMPORT LESS N SELL IMPORTS AT HIGH PRICES.
WE DONT NEED A BUNCH OF THIEVES WHO COME TO STEAL N COLLECT BRIBES! WHO ARE YOU MAKING A MOCKERY OF?...
5.BRING IN FOREIGN INVESTORS TO BUILD SOPHISTICATED supply chains in operations Like autos and auto parts, electronics, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, chemicals, petrochemicals.
WE HAVE SO MANY MIDDLE AND HIGH SKILLED WORKERS, UNEMPLOYED GRADUATES IN GH WHO DONT KNOW HOW TO THINK. THEY WANT MUNDANE JOBS.
PRES. MAHAMA UPGRADE YOUR INVESTMENT PROMOTION AGENCY OFFICES IN EACH REGION IN GH. THESE IPA'S WILL SERVE AS marketing agencies to try and go out and attract higher skilled,
more sophisticated investors AND BRING THEM INTO GH. SEND GOVT REPS FROM THESE IPA OFFICES TO THESE CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS AND POUND ON THEIR DOORS. DONT WASTE THE NATION'S RESOURCES BY GOING
ON CNN...THATS A WASTE OF MONEY! WE NEED FACTORIES IN GH. INTEL, CAR MANUFACTURING COMPANIES, ETC ARE ALL AVAILABLE. WE ALREADY HAVE TNS OF NATURAL RESOURCES IN GH!
IN MY BOOK, YOU EITHER DO IT RIGHT. OR YOU GET ELIMINATED.
TOO MANY GH PPL LACK SELF CONFIDENCE AND DONT BELIEVE IN WHO THEY ARE. THEN AGAIN, U CANT BLAME THEM. LOOK AT THEIR SURROUNDINGS..OPEN GUTTERS, MALARIA, FILTH, DIRT EVERYWHERE!

the president, his ministers and their families' families all get free passes on telephone, electricity, water, tranportation both at home and abroad for any reason personal or business.
there is no cap on how much these ministers spend/loot from the gov't for their acquittances and families hence regardless of the tax base no future returns would be expected.

the job benefits of being a gov't official exceeds the compensation.

Speak or wish no evil for the land of your birth, for you have no other place or country to run to. It is better to stay in your country and be hungry, rather than living in a refugee camp in another country. Ask our Liberian brothers what they have gone through. Even we green card holders don't wish and pray for war or bad things for Ghana and Ghanaians home. Every advanced nation has gone through hardship before emerging rich.They sacrificed for their kids. Keep quiet and pay the right tarrifs and taxes.

Airport tax in Ghana is among the highest in the world if not the highest. Clearing fees at the harbor is also ridiculous. Export an SUV from Japan to Uganda and the state demands $1000 as vat. The same car to Ghana and you pay $3500. Now justify that. Visa fees to Ghana are a rip off. Dual citizenship is just a trap to take your money. Trust me it is not cheap applying for dual citizenship and at the end of the day your money is gone and you get nothing. Loose talk coming from criminal minds. That’s all there is.

Kufuor left the Single Spine salary structure to the Mills administration to be implemented. Now, upon assuming office, the Mills administration should have studied the SSS very well before taken any action on it. I do not think they did that studies before putting it to work and it had been an Achilles heels to the Mills and Mahama administration.

If I were you, I will throw in the towel and resign my position and apologise to Ghanaians for messing up this economy. This statement of yours shows clearly that you have lost the plot. You are not worth the position you are occupying. Those who are paying higher taxes, do you know what they are getting in return. You are part of the ream that is misleading the Mahama government and leading the country at top speed into the ditch. God save Ghana and eject people like you from that position sooner than later.

Mr Minister apart from the comfortable and theoretical IMF you have not done any real job for you to understand business environment. You dishonestly picked two taxes and our corporation tax is not generous relatively to other world economies but you conveniently forget that in Ghana businesses are burdened with so many taxes including condom taxes. Mr minister the rate of taxes is less important than the huge number of taxes killing Ghanain business.
