    It is sad that some suspected criminals on government are enslaving millions of people for only GHC20 over 25 years or so instead of solving the problems or seeking advice from intelligent people like myself. What kind of wic ...

    ECG IS AN EXISTING COMPANY,FINANCED BY GHANA. AND THE COMPANY IS DISTRIBUTION ENERGY EFFICIENTLY.THE ONLY PROBLEM IS CORRUPTION AMONG THE STAFF. GHANA DO NOT NEED LOAN TO CORRECT CORRUPTION ATTITUDES.

    Ghanaians should be careful with these Americans who have never wanted the well being of Africans. They sniffe everywhere just to put other nations into confusion.

    The day of reckoning will surely arrive and those who together with colonialists are wrecking this nation to ransome will surely answer if there is a God!

  • Nana Ansah 7 years ago

    Once upon a time Ghana had a God sent prophet in the name of Kwame Nkrumah who prophesied neo-colonialism and the way it works but we paid no heed to his message. Today we are suffering the consequences of our own folly. When ...

    They did the same thing to colonize Ghana and they are doing the same trick again. What is wrong with Ghana? We have everything but these people keep on controlling every aspect of our lives. Aba.

  • CITIZEN ONE 7 years ago

    Sometimes comments here go to prove that we Africans/Ghanaians have low intelligence.

    We have had control of our country for well over 50 years, and not only are we incapable of managing it, but we have destroyed all the d ...

    It is nonsense to say America does not need Ghana,why should they have ties with us? Why should they sniffe into our internal affairs if they don't need Ghana? We as Ghanaians don't see our nation as a great nation and try al ...

    Typical American Aid, IMF and World Bank "conditionality". Sell your public assets e.g. ECG(real source of revenue from electricity bills for Ghana) to a private company or allow them to "manage" it. All the profits from ECG ...

    What the US ambassador says is good for Ghana must be viewed with scepticism by well-meaning Ghanaians. The US Amcassador represents the interest of big business not the interest of Ghana. The textbook economists may agree wi ...
