  When the shoe is on the other foot, it hurt but. A nation is destroyed from within due to such crass hypocrisy. NDC did not set up any GoldBod when they were in power from 2012-16, and the question is why?
  
  If the $214million is a loss, who will send you or who to be shot at the Teshie firing range? You are trying to paint a dirty wall but that is Ghana because remember that the world will not end tomorrow and NDC will not rule forever.

  Great analyses. This is true brains and knowledge of economics, not Bawumia's type of economics. I am not sure if Bawumia will even understand these analyses, which are not written in Mampruli.

  NPP is useless. I voted for them in 2016, and I seriously regret doing so, because I think we those who voted for Nana, thereby making him win, and he followed up to steal it in 2020 are part of what happened in Ghana under NPP. I refused to vote in 2020 (which I regret for not voting) because it was already clear that NPP was messing up big with the country and I was reluctant to vote for NDC. However, I was the 3rd person to vote at my polling station in 2024, and I voted for NDC (not because I liked NDC), but because enough was enough with NPP; and I can say it as I sit writing this piece that I have not regretted at all, and really hope NPP stays in opposition for at least 20 years because they are nation wreckers.
  
  I think a majority of Ghanaians have practically realized the positive impact the NDC has made in less than one year:- reduced prices of food and other goods, reduced fuel prices, marginally reduced transport fares, a strong currency (which we hope it gets even stronger to below 10 cedis to 1 dollar in 2026). These changes (particularly drastic reductions in food prices) have saved millions of lives in Ghana. If there was the need for us to lose 214 million dollars (whether in accounting sense or economic sense) in order to save millions of lives, it was a good loss. 214 millions dollars divided by 36 million people is just a mere 6 dollars (about 66 cedis) per head, which is far less than the daily gains we get from buying food stuff, buying gasoline, travelling etc. To conclude, if there was a serious third party, I will probably try them at one point in time, but as that is absent now, I will be voting for NDC every election year. I only hope NDC can get somebody in their ranks like Mahama to take over when his tenure ends.
  
  A long death to NPP is a long live to Ghana.
