Mr. President, you can do same for ECG and not heed to US pressure. Be strong and empower Ghanaians to bring ECG back to where it should be instead of selling our destiny to foreigners. Don't be fooled by those semantics of words calling it 20 years concession. You may not live to see the damage caused to mother Ghana.

Go and burn the sea. It is a shame that you call yourself a Ghanaian. You get on the internet only to spew ignorance. Ghana is ruled by the law, not by the thuggery and intimidation of Akufo-Addo. Just get it straight that if you think you are violent, there is always a better person than you. Be wise. You cannot bully anyone into doing your bidding. You will end up sadly.

There is ONLY one reason TOR is not for sale. Revenue generated by the plant has been scammed and siphoned off by GoG politicians - since the day it became operational.
If the plant was sold - private owners would want to keep the money they made.
TOR is a piss-poor business, it is poorly managed and will forever be; HOWVER, TOR is a spectacular source of embezzled money for the personal portfolios and lifestyles for politicians.

LIAR Mahama, I care less if you sale it.
Merchant Bank sold, ECG sole etc. If you sell TOR do I care?

Bullshit. Useless and visionless John D. Mahama.

Thanks Mr President and MD Kwame Awuah-Darko for reviving TOR. The workers are happy and pive is back in the Tema Enclave. The Fuel Security of Ghana is secured and we are particularly happy that Kwame Awuah-Darko together with the workers brought the refinery back without any foreign assistance. Ghanaians will reward you with 4 more years. For those who have refused to see the visible changes and lieing to the world that TOR is for sale will bow down their heads in shame. Congratulations Mr President, Congratulations MD Kwame Awuah-Darko, Congratulations the workers of TOR;

You see the stupidity of these anti-national interest people called NPP? TOR which got run down by the Kufour administration and got abandoned has now moved from being a haunted metallic ghost town to a vibrant profit making premier state asset. Osagye Dr. Kwame Nkrumah must be so so proud and grateful to the John Mahama government for this great job well executed. We don't need a 72 year old grandpa in charge neither do we need any dish washing London burgers to run down such assets of the state again. To hell with your NPP. To hell with your Akufo Addo.

President Mahama has demonstrated enough attitude towards revamping all collapsing companies.... Komenda sugar factory is back, TOR is back on its feet etc
This we can agree steers up a huge amount of jealousy within the NPP giving them nothing to campaign with....

The NPP government under Ex-President Kufuor wrote a memo to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in 2001 in connection with the TOR DEBT and it reads thus: In order to HALT the on going losses at TOR, the government raised the ex-refinery gasoline prices by average 91% in February, 2001 with immediate effect. THERE WAS NO DEMONSTRATION BY THE NDC because the price of fuel in Ghana was then GH¢6.40 (six thousand four hundred old cedis).

In April 2001, the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC) allowed the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) to raise the retail price of Electricity by 96%-THE NDC NEVER HIT THE STREETS WITH ANY DEMONSTRATION. Then the Volta River Authority (VRA) raised its wholesale electricity price by 100%, but the NDC did not demonstrate. Why is the NPP now trying to throw dust into the eyes of well meaning Ghanaians by using their Alliance for Attacking Government (AFAG) to engage in USELESS DEMONSTRATIONS in Kumasi and Accra since 2010 and 2011. In justifying another price increase two years later, the then NPP government declared in the 2003.

Budget thus: A Debt Recovery Levy will be imposed on the use of petroleum products. The proceeds from the Levy will be placed in a SINKING FUND and used to REPAY THE ACCUMULATED TOR DEBT incurred from selling petroleum products BELOW COST IN THE PAST. This is urgent in order to reduce the systematic Risk POSED by the LARGE DEBT OF TOR to the Bank Sector and the Economy. When Ghanaians were heavily levied and the money was accrued to be used in paying the TOR DEBT, Kufuor’s ‘NPP government dishonestly diverted the money through the Controller and Accountant General who wrote a letter to Mr.Kwame Ansah, the then Director,banking Dept . of the Bank of Ghana on 8th July, 2008 to release an amount of GH¢ 1,500,00 from the petroleum Debt Recovery No: 0123260014022 into Ministry of Information and Presidential sub.

I believe you have arrived at this decision because of the efficient manner the acting CEO of TOR, Mr. Kingsley Kwame Awuah-Darko, has transformed and managed the place so far. With this man still in charge, I believe we'll see the birth of more refineries in Ghana. Thank you once again, Mr. President. 4 more years for JM!

It's very clear that Mr. Kwame Awuah Darko is the best CEO in Ghana at the moment. Having the wisdom and strength to steer the affairs of Tema Oil Refinery and BOST is no mean an achievement. TOR was down for years and it took the vision of President Mahama and the wisdom of Mr. Awuah to revive this company and they now export to almighty Nigeria. God bless President Mahama, God bless Mr. Kwame Awuah Darko, God bless Ghana

What politics has made us. So what do we want as a people? Are we shameful TOR is back and working? Or because it had been put back to work by a president who is not from your party? Are we this unpatriotic? Yes, you may not like the President and even his men, but, is the working of TOR to our disadvantage as a country? We must be shameful sometimes for some of these unwarranted behaviours that are motivated by politics.

I was so happy and proud, as a Ghanaian when I heard about the resuscitation of TOR. "A country that fails to honour its heroes is not worth dying for", a saying I always appreciate. We must commend TOR workers, first of all, for the sacrifices they have had to put in to revive this national asset. Secondly, the chief executive officer, Opanyin Awuah Darko must also be acknowledged for efficiently managing the workers. Above all, president Mahama has done well by putting in place his vision for TOR. I couldn't agree more with president Mahama on his decision not to sell TOR. Ghana can benefit a lot from this refinery. God bless us all.

NPP BOYS ANGRY THAT TOR IS NOT FOR SALE.
The "Pharisees" in Ghana are at their insults best this morning, because an important state asset that is making a complete turn around and generating revenue is not up for sale, contrary to their expectations.
They will force their Presidential Candidate to sell TOR. Don't vote for the Elephants. They will sell TOR.
