the fact that this president dose not want to simplfy his ministeral appointments, and goes on to increase the renuminations of his ministers and that of paliamenterians whiles the GDP of the country remains worse is a big issue.
where is this governmewnt going to get all these money to pay his ministers and that of the nemerious parliamentarians?
Isn't this going to increase our deficit blance of paymens?
are we going to go to the world bank to borrow cash to pay all these guys? this rasies the question of why cant we cut our coat according to our size?this answer here is we have to cosoludate the ministerial appointments, to make sure the govt. has reduced is size, before we do any other thing.
Mr. president cut down the number of your ministers, so that you could get surplusses to do other things. things like creatings good infastructure projects; creating Good water service for all, solving our electricfication problems, transportation and educational problems. this is what we as a country want.
stop the nones sence of prayinging in Isreal for God could hear our prayers from every quaters of the land for he is a universal God.
if you want to maintain the free education as it is now and has ever been, of which you are a benificiary in the northern Region, cut down you expenditures.
countinue the building of the roads from Accra to the north and all corners of the country, go ahead with the railway lines modification from Accra to Kumasi, Kumasi to whenivally, from takoradit to Ho From Ho to Aframplains etc.
think more of what to do better for the nation and stop all these nonesece of enriching your selves.

Go to the greedy thief and symbol of greed, JA Kufour, and ask him why he worked with 95 ministers. You hear?

Our goverments - Presidents- are just heartless. From Rawlings to Mahama (including Kufour) all just appoint ministers by heart. They just don't care. If we the people care, we just have to stop voting for them no matter what. You are better off trying a different party or even an independent candidate.

Which Ghanaian government are you juxtaposing your whacky argument? The man is in charge, if he finds the need to fill certain positions to attain his goal, you can spew all you want, and you can't touch him. Were you so vocal about such appointments in any known Ghanaian administration, and secondly would you want to tell our President precisely how many appointments he should make and exactly who to appoint. Go ran for President under some political party, but I think the quality of Ghanaian journalism sucks, why because you Mr. Kofi Badu quantify it. Haters and losers in great quantities...no quality. UK my ass!

UK YOUR ASS? WHAT A GUZZLER! THE TRUTH HURTS INDEED; ISN'T THE AUTHOR EXHIBITING REFLECTIVE THINKING AFTER ALL? YES, IT IS TRUE THAT MAHAMA IS MAKING MISTAKES IN HIS MINISTERIAL APPOINTMENTS, AND YOU SYCOPHANT THINK NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO QUESTION HIS GLIB JUDGMENT? GET THIS, MAHAMA IS AN "ELECTED" PRESIDENT, AND AS SUCH EVERY DISCERNING GHANAIAN HAS THE RIGHT TO CRITICISE HIS COARSE GOVERNANCE. OF COURSE, 'NODDING YES MEN' LIKE YOU WILL ALWAYS SING HIS PRAISES REGARDLESS.

AND, IF YOU CARE TO KNOW, DURING PRESIDENT KUFFOUR'S TENURE, HE HAD 80 MINISTERS. THEN LATE PRESIDENT MILLS CUT IT DOWN TO 74 WHEN HE ASSUMED OFFICE. MAHAMA HAS DECIDED TO BALLOON THE NUMBER OF MINISTERS TO OVER 86, AND YOU STOOGE THINK IT IS ALRIGHT? NO WONDER WE,GHANAIANS, ARE AT WHERE WE ARE TODAY,--BECAUSE OF SYCOPHANTS LIKE YOU. YOU ARE SELFISH!

Kufuor, the most useless president Ghana has ever had, chose almost all his ministers from his tribe and even from his family. For 8 years, he presided over the most inept government ever to come from Africa. The only thing he did best was to travelling all over the world while poverty ruled supreme in his hometown of Kumasi. I have no doubt that Prez mahama wil be 100 times better than kufuor.

here again we see the pepeni try to put cotton wool over our eyes again with his lies and cosmetic moves that solve nothing . as we speak right now there are hundreds of billions worth of projects and investors being frustrated by the ndc 419 politicians and not corrupt civil service as all they care about is thinking of various processes and procedures whose end result is bog down the investor so they can take money from the unaware. where is the bni , police and so called GAF now ,? they also participate in the corrupt crony system that further denies that initiatives of the citizens comes to fruition even if the govt remains incompetent , in short an impossible situation that will sooner or later create a fertile environment for war
