  I think a minimum of 300GHC would have been better. 10GHC daily for 30 days.

  SSNIT must collect not less than30%of its current and past arrears .This way contributors would appreciate their worth,and pensioners would thereby enjoy better returns.

  John Mahama, Ernest Thompson and his NDC think Ghanaians a fools. The timing of this announcement was made to soften the anger pensioners have against the parceling of Merchant Bank to Mahama's lawyer Tony Lithur and friends. We will agitate for the reversal of this dubious sale of the Merchant Bank till any new government reverse and jail all collaborators in this thievery.

  That is extremely astronomical. I hope we will not be informed in about three months from the date of implementation that the increase is taking about 95% of the total income of SSNIT per month. What was the basis for this seemingly hoax increase? What has been return on investment by SSNIT in terms of investment made over the period? We should be careful ooooooooooooh! The gimmick with people's future is too much of propaganda. GOB BLESS GHANA

  Mahama has approved $500 ($$, not cedis) for one sitting by the Board members, just given out $38 million to his brother for free and contributors to the fund will be getting GHC100 ($42) a month.

  I AM MAD LIKE HELL, I'M MAD LIKE A WOMAN SCORNED, I'M MAD LIKE A MAN SCORNED FOR
  THE INCOMPETENCE OF THE SPORTS MINISTER, AKUA "red eye monster" DENSUA. How can
  this woman bill Ghana for 1,500 supporters when the government sent only 1,000?
  The sentiments expressed by these two contributors at the Ghanaweb forum, are a
  clear testament of how Ghanaians feel about this team "C" minister.

  Comment to:WHO SPONSORED THE SUPPORTERS?
  
  I regret my initial support for this government and I ask for forgiveness from
  anyone who through my comments fell in love for this government.
  Ras Mubarak came out strongly that the government should tell ghanaians who was
  behind the sponsored trip to south africa but many including pro NDC supporters
  said he was doing that because he was bitter for losing an election.

  Comment to:STUPID AND CORRUPT NDC GOVERNMENT
  
  Sarpong, we are all shock to hear the claim by the Minister that the Government
  of Ghana sponsored the fans.
  We were all witnesses to the bitter war of words between the Jerry faction of
  the NDC and the Mills faction which includes the headquarters. Each was claiming
  credit for sending their supporters to the games. We all heard the many claims
  and counter-claims by these nut-heads.
  I hope the Ghanaian media will start asking the hard questions.
  ____________________________________________________
  
  Akua Densuah has no inkling of what went on in South Africa if her statements on
  friday July 30th 2010 is juxtaposed to what the President and the Vice-President
  said about the behaviour of the Ghanaian supporters in South Africa is anything
  to go by. This is what the first two gentlemen of Ghana have to say about the
  conduct of our supporters in South Africa:
  
  "President John Evans Atta Mills is fuming with rage over the deplorable state
  of Ghana fans who are in South Africa to support the Black Stars at the ongoing
  2010 FIFA World Cup.
  
  He questioned the efficiency of the committee tasked to cater for the 1,600 or
  more fans sponsored by government and some individuals, which had brought undue
  hardships on the fans, notable among which is subtended food and
  non-availability of tickets to watch Ghana matches."
  
  
  "Vice President John Dramani Mahama returned with the first batch of supporters,
  numbering over 450, on Friday June 24.
  
  The Vice President, on his return expressed his displeasure at the conduct of
  some Ghanaian soccer fans at the FIFA World Cup Tournament and called on
  Ghanaians to comport themselves outside the borders of the country, in order to
  reflect the good image of their Mother Land."
  
  The incompetence of Akua Densua and her NDC cohorts who thought they could use
  the bait of our taxpayers funds to send NDC supporters MASQUERADING as soccer
  fans came unglued when the supporters after reaching South Africa were made to
  fend for themselves and have to resort to prostitution and robbing which
  were not beamed back home.
  
  
  "Several state sponsored Ghanaian soccer fans in South Africa are refusing to
  return home on the directives of Ghanaian football officials there.
  
  Officials insist the fans must return immediately due to lack of funds. The fans
  will have to fend for themselves if they stay any longer since state sponsorship
  has been stretched thin.
  Reports say some of the Ghanaian women soccer fans have had to resort to
  prostitution to fend for themselves."
  
  The fans are accusing the Ghanaian authorities of reneging on its promise to
  give them a daily per diem of $100 and are thus calling on the officials to come
  to their aid to help alleviate their plight."
  
  If this is the behaviour put up by our fans and two incidencies where Ghanaian
  men were accused of raping a Canadian woman and another Ghanain woman, how can
  Akua Densua then tell us that sending these supporters to South Africa enhanced
  the image of our country? This is what Akua Densuah, the so called Sports
  Minister said on Friday July 30th and readers can compare that to what the
  President and his Vice said about the behaviour of the same fans who were forced
  to resort to immoral behaviour to care for themselves;
  
  "Touching on the decision to send supporters to South Africa for the World Cup,
  Sena Dansua defended the decision of the government adding that "it was not a
  waste of resources".
  
  The minister added that, supporters who went to the event also had the
  opportunity of studying the positive aspect of the South Africa culture which
  will have an impact on Ghana in the near future."
  
  What positive aspect did these fans have a chance of studying when they were
  busy whoring and robbing to take care of their daily needs?No wonder those
  Journalists who were in South Africa are calling on Mills to relieve you of your
  duties as the Minister of Sports, you failed Ghanaians 'BIG TIME.
  
  "AAAAH!!!, HABA AKUA, GHANAFUO ATO ABA BONEE PAA"
