  As for this NDC government headed by the most foolish man in the country, monkeys can do better. You borrow initial money at a lower rate and you could not pay the interest (meanwhile the capital is there untouched) then you go again to borrow at a higher rate to pay for the interest of the former one? Only in Ghana led by something called mahama. Then some foolish poverty stricken and ignorant Ghanaians still believe this man will do something for them? Let him continue cutting new sods for unproductive ventures and be stealing the money and the foolish irrelevant Chiefs be following him. What had gone wrong with Ghanaians ? Then I believe agyin asare is also misleading another group who are expecting magic at the expense of thinking and hardwork right now. Let us think Ghanaians else you will live miserable lives and your children will also continue the same in the name of NDC.

  Ghana needs to do a complete overhaul of its ministries, making them leaner and more efficient. Examples include visitors visas. Offer 10 year multiple entry as many countries now do. Eliminate the need for internal extension visas every few months. This would boost tourism, create more jobs and generate more taxes while reducing the wages bill for immigration. Adaptive, innovative solutions are urgently needed to prevent a sovereign debt default that will have disastrous consequences.

  Is the economy being managed well by these people? There is no money but they are all fine and want to go to parliament again.....we leave all in God's hands. He is the righteous Judge and will reward according to our works.
