These good for nothing politicians squeezing the little we have to develop the nation is terrible.
Liman may be naive because he wasn't in Ghana but Mahama should also not be supporting blindly to run the country to a halt.
Pls President Mahama don't disappoint Northerners stop dolling out money to these parliamentarians.
The constitution must be properly assessed and calibrated for equitable distribution of funds not to be skewed favorably towards these thief's we call politicians in Ghana.

This can happen any day any time in Africa so wake up Ghana. Maybe we need Ghana Spring kind of movement instead of a coup. I don't like this topic at all but it seems we are heading that way.

What has Nkrumah,the only visionary and selfless political leader Ghana has ever had,got to do with the thievery perfected by your NPP and tribal kinfolk? Sarpong(aka Houdini, Calamity,Cardinal,Catalyst and sam)never mentioned the terroristic NLM cabal led by Baffuor Osei-Akoto(chief linguist of Prempeh 11) - that killed and maimed thousands of innocent Gold Coasters/Ghanaians from 1954-64.And he also left out the violence and babarism committed by Mate Meho "Al Qaeda"leaders and other ethnic terrorists - Danquah,Busia,Obetsebi-Lamptey,Ako Adjei,Gbedemah,Kofi Crabbe and Mallam Tula - which warranted the imposition of the PDA.

"History repeats itself";for whenever the Matemehofuor lose elections,they resort to violence or coup to take power in the country - as this SOB is calling for.The days of Afrifa and Kotoka are long gone,thanks to Rawlings,Boakye Djan and Samuel Arthur.This fool and his ilk should understand that"what goes around, comes around".So let them try again - afterall,this is not 1966.

Most Ghanaians detest and are appalled by the ex-gratia given to ex-presidents,judges and Members of Parliament.However,NPP supporters jumped to the defense of Kufuor when his friend Ms.Chinery-Hesse awarded him four new cars and two SUVs every four years and free gas;two new houses to be transferred to his family upon his death;$1million for his project and $1/2million for his new office;free electricity,gas and water;vacation tickets for two every year,maids,gardeners,chauffuers and security detail.And to top it off(after raking in hundreds of thousands of dollars in per diem while travelling abroad every week),Kufuor gave himself and cronies gold chains worth $1million.
Ain't that fit for a Saudi king?

Today,the Kufuor family is the richest in Ghana(Dr.Kufuor alone is worth $1.5billion.Remember the Defense contracts and Haruna Esseku's revelation of the Castle's secrets?)

Sarpong has been the most vocal(for tribal and party reasons)in support of the biggest rip-off in Ghana's history - the NPP and EO Group's $2billlion siphoning of oil revenues(3%)into accounts in the Cayman Islands and Swiss banks(and you wonder why Kufuor travels to Europe bi-weekly).Yet,he continues to cry about Ghana's economy while he and his masters "enjoy" the oil money in Houston.What a hypocrite!

Mahama has no choice but to give the useless parliamentarians the money - as stipulated in the law.What he MUST do is push for the removal of the ex-gratia from the Constitution,and appoint an independent ad hoc group comprising of citizens from all walks of life,to deal with issues of salaries for presidents and parliamentarians.

Why include Dr Ako-Adjei in this your write up? Did you really know your history well of Ghana?

Did you not know that Dr Ako-Adjei was the man who brought Dr Nkrumah to then Gold Coast to come and replaced him as Secretary of the UGCC. Thus after the disagreement of principle of how self government must come about the group broke up. Therefore, Dr Nkrumah and Dr Ako-Adjei broke away to go and formed the CPP.

Please never again called Dr Ako-Adjei a terrorist otherwise you must disclose your true identity to face any court action by defaming somebody like Dr Ako-Adjei.

Nkrumah putting his political opponents in prison without trial?

Now, what is this nonsense about Busiah NO COURT you are talking about? This NO COURT did not put anybody in prison as the case here was a civil matter.

Nkrumah too did not accept court judgement when the High Court did not find the CPP Ministers he caused their arrests after the Kulungugu bombing and instituted another court that found those who have been freed by the court to prison.

Busiah did not do such a thing and there was not even one political prisoner during his rule unlike Nkrumah who imprisoned, farmers, students, trade Union officials and politicians in thousands as political prisoners, that is what a Dictator is not a Methodist Christian and a gentle soul like Busiah.

You are definitely an idiot and who ever donated his sperm to your whoring mother to have a thing like you have done Ghana a great disservice. The truth hurt and I don't even think you belong in the same podium with me. You might be really really gaumless to say that EO group owns 3% of Jubilee field valued at 2 billion dollars. Morons like you are dangerous to the Youths of Ghana disseminating falsehood because of jealousy. Ghana with 13.75% of Jubilee field, 35% in Tax on gross profit and 5% royalties have not even earned 2 billion you have accused EO group of siphoning off with its 1.75% ownership of jubilee field.

To say that Mahama's hand is tied and cannot do anything about the amount awarded to the MP's shows how stupid, blind and idiotic you are. The constitution stipulates that they are to be given ex-gratia but does not give any formula on how that amount should be determined and that is why the President is charged to form a committee to determine that. President Mills refused the committee set up to determine how much Kuffour should be given and MAHAMA too can reject the committee recommendation about the amount involved here but he did not despite the hardship the country is going through because he expect to cash in when his time comes for these same Parliamentarians to pay him back.

Now talking about what was awarded to Kuffour, a lot of us unlike your worthless self like your mother's bloody used tampon said something against it and it was not given and Kuffour out of the Presidency more than four years has not received his ex-gratia.

Let me educate you moron who think Kuffour's six cars, two houses and other benefits are too much. Rawlings received five houses and awarded himself seventeen cars he took away when leaving the Presidency but you brainless fool with an IQ of a rotten egg does not see anything wrong with it because of your trokosi roots. Do you know no Asante ever threw a bomb at Nkrumah but a trokosi like your idiotic self did? Dummy, go and have a threesome with your mother and father because incest is allowed by your filthy culture. Come again, you worthless clod.

People, this is the rot that has engulfed the country. The blatant and reckless handling of the nation's resources is so alarming and depressing that it make you wonder if Government and people in charge of running the affairs are aware of the problems confronting the people of Ghana. Look at our Hospitals, the horrible electricity and water supply situations, educational system that is in shambles, the filth that is swallowing up the environment, the corruption and lack of any semblance of orderly society and on and on...

It is irresponsible, careless and disgraceful to note that Governments and the authorities have nothing or are doing anything to address these basic challenges in Ghana. in order words, they are the reason Ghana has not known real progress or development. All governments/politicians do is blame others instead of finding solutions to challenges. They throw dust into the eyes of the public and confuse the people.

Coup is just not the answer. It is retrogressive. In my opinion, creation non-partisan institutions to educate the public into perpetual watch-dogs over the manner in which the country is managed, and also demand accountability, will go a long way. Only an informed educated citizenry can ensure that the ills in society are corrected.

We should never assume that people elected or put in power will do the right thing, we have to demand that they do the right thing.
Priorities of the populace are not their priorities.

What I am saying here is that, the Military might step in if the civilian government we have not which is not listening to the plight of the masses.

There is no justification for the CIA financed 1966 coup. Justice go and read Dark Days in Ghana for why Nkrumah was not a dictator. Ask yourself why Busia promoted Lt Col Acheampong to command 1 brigade when the rightful officer was Colonel Bob Kotei a Ga? No to all coups.

No need to even dignify this crude NPP tribalist/ideologue, Sarpong, with a response to his NPP self-confounded, trash propaganda-narrative of the "only justified coup".

"The only justifiable coup" is nothing new but standard NPP crap infamously hurled at us by the likes of Ocquaye and Arthur Kennedy. The Danquah-Busia tradition has tried for 47 years of failure in Ghana
to whitewash their tribal terrorism and unabashed collaboration with western imperialism. The current kleptocratic governance is the logical conclusion of the overthrow of the patriotic and progressive government of Nkrumah. There is absolutely no difference between the thievery of the NDC and that of the NPP. We must get rid of both two thieving parties.

Nkrumah was not a Dictator? What was he? What is the definition of a Dictator? Making himself President for life was not dictatorship? Making Ghana a one party country with CPP as the legitimate only party to belong to not dictatorship?

Arresting and jailing your political opponents including trade union members and students is not dictatorship?

Now tell me how Nkrumah could have been removed if people decided they don't need him anymore. Just tell me how the civilians could have removed him.

AMD with the security services (especially the - ARMY, NAVY & AIR FORCES) BEING PAID HADSOMELY, to keep them quiet!!! This situation cannot be sustained forever. Yes Ghanaians can take that much BUT not for long. Ghana is a rich country BUT past Governments have forgotten the masses and enriched themselves to the DETREMENT of the suffering population. Walk in Accra and you see WEALTH & POVERTY in TANDEM!!! Why do we have ARMED ROBBERS? THEY DO NOT RAID OUR ZONGOS, BUKOMS, KORLEWORKONS OR NIMAS!!! THEY go for the AIRPORT RESIDENTIALS, SPINTEX, TRANSACOS etc

Change of party, military coup, citizen revolt are all great ideas, but none will work. Those in the other parties will be no better, and one never knows what to expect from a military dictator. For sure if we can find one who is totally inflexible on corruption, blessed with some degree of selflessness and can crack the whip, it will be a godsend. In Ghana, the police is the number one cancer and every single one of them must be let go. The African politician is irresponsible and easily corrupted. Africans in general respond only to harsh interventions and commands especially from white people. Western multiparty democracy will never work in Africa. Nkrumah found that out and chose the one party system, which also has its problems. We can try regional devolution with each region in charge of its affairs supported by funds from a common purse that is fairly divided. In the short term each region will recruit a white man (eg a former President or Prime Minister) of proven integrity and managerial skills. He, she must come with a professional 'shoot-to-kill' well paid small police force under whom the Ghana police will operate. I am sorry to say it, but an African country with a black president, black ministers, black supreme court, black police chief, black head of the national bank etc....etc... will simply not work. Sad, but that is the record. Take a look at the continent and prove me wrong.

Yes they do not have heads to reason, but surly the time wouldcome and the time would tell. No one on earth, shall escape the truth.
The dat is coming that Mahama would be like a Rat, yes va very Big Rat and could not tell the color of the sky, he would only see it as yellow and he shall see the color of the soil as green, and smile the color of his shite as Gun powder.
with his ministers and the fools parliamentarians, they shall be scope out like a Rate been smoked out of its hole with sasampu. the only thing they shall brith would be Pepper, so let them go on with all the nonsence that we see and smile. for one day is good enough for the master to take care of the thief who has been in opreational all his life.
We all know that Military Govt. is not the right thing to go for, but the way this parliamenrt is behaving, it looks like it is be best option. even if it comes on foreve and ever.
Mahama, do you remmember what happend to Gadafi and Sadam? just look at what is going on in Syria. thes guys thought nothing could move them, but what is happening now? a great shift. Yes! a great shift. the great might stone , covering the thumb was move, and this urshed the depature of our lord Jesus Christ into haven.

The people should demand accountability from the political leaders. Nothing works in Ghana because our leaders do not set good examples.CITIZENS ARE CHEATING EACH OTHER. ONE CANNOT TRUST ANY ONE with any thing.Instead of hard work,people spend the entire days and nights attending crusades which do not improve the economy but serves to enrich the fake pastors.All we care about is watching stupid dancing programs on TV.No one talks about how to improve our regional and district hospitals.There is no simple CT SCANS IN ANY govt hospital in both the central and western regions.Any one in these areas with suspected stroke will need to be transported to ACCRA FOR EVALUATION if the family can afford. SHAME! SHAME! AFTER 56 YEARS POST INDEPENDANCE.ALL WE CARE ABOUT IS TO PERFORM LAVISH and expensive funerals IN THE MIST OF POVERTY.WHY? No one donates any money for biomedical research to improve our health.Setting of wrong priorities is the other of the day.We have to seriously change our thinking. MILITARY govt will not fix these.

OKATAKYIE SARPONG, almost everyone agree with your anti-corruption attack on the country's politicians and this administration. However, our frustration and public anger over the corrupt practices of our leaders shouldn't be a cause for demanding a possible military coup d'etat. Military coup is never an ideal option. The Army should simply stay in the Barracks rather than trying to save this country. The assumption that the rampant political corruption going on under Mahama's administration justifies military coup is both distrubing and outrageous. Remember, once upon a time, we had 'Junior Jesus' and his 'anti-corruption' brigade. And Ghanaians sang the chorus: Let the blood flow! Then, 'Junior Jesus' preached virtues but.....If Ghanaians knew what they know now, Ghana wouldn't have found itself in its current state!

Surely, Ghana has grown weary of military coups! Military coup d'etat will not resolve the country's leadership crisis. And if it does occur now, it will not be civilized one. The reality is that not only will it pose an immediate threat to our infant democracy but the unstable atmosphere could lead to wider ethnic/tribal conflicts in Ghana. Just imagine the ethnic make-up of the country's military.

At times I think Ghanaians well and truly deserve what they get from our elected leaders! Ghana is a reasonably democratic country with a representative system which makes it possible to vote competent and patriotic people people into Parliament, yet we the same poor, uneducated and ignorant masses do campaign and vote for the same old, corrupt, inept politicians! We're just like Turkeys always voting for Christmas. We deserve all that we're served!

The soldiers are no better! They use coups to get their mouths in the gravy bowl as well. All coupmakers blamed corruption for their actions but turned out to be more corrupt. The 'pauper' Rawlings became the 'rich' Rawlings who owns yachts. Besides, after the brute violence, do the military have answers to our problems?

The current lot are looting because discerning Ghanaians have either kept quiet because of fear of victimisation; or are part of the looting themselves. A country in which citizens do not assert their rights leaves unprincipled people to have a free day.

The Constitution strictly does not ask every President to set up his committee to determine emoluments, yet that is how it is being done by convention. This is wrong and that is why so-called civil society groups and professional bodies should be condemining. The current spate of strikes, to me, is the form of revolution that is needed. They should rather make it clear that their actions are linked to the wanton looting of the political classes.

The Parliamentarians are claiming they went for loans to run their campaigns. Shoud that be anyone's problem? However, that is how our politics have become - using the people's money to buy the people's votes. Is it a wonder that they do not want Ghanaian children to have quality education? The budget deficit alone in FY12 would have paid for more than three years of fee-free SHS or resource all rural basic schools. But ironically, John Mahama was right to have pointed out that the nation could not affect free SHS; he knew what he was using the money for - buying votes!

When the constitution was written, JJ thought he would never exit the presidency. All the loopholes in the constitution was the work of JJ because it helped him loot the nation and those who followed him walked on the same path.

The best we can do is to hold a referendum and re-write the constitution by removing or sealing all the loopholes which gives the politicians an avenue to steal.

Make no mistake, we can never ever have Afrifa's kind of military officer in Ghana again. You see, they were well brought up innocent young men who went straight from decent secondary schools to a military establishment with a history of "an officer and a gentleman." They saw a hopeless situation, came in to quickly correct it so civilian could get on with it.

Compare that with Acheampong (Kwame Nkrumah Ideological Institute), Jerry Boom (Boakye Djan/Tsatsu/Ebo Tawiah School of Pseudo Socialism.) That was Ghana's undoing. They were only interested in bettering their wretched lot. Look at China and the old Soviet Union or North Korea today.

The present crop of Ghanaian miliatary officers are all tainted by ideological/tribal/religious, etc alliances. Besides their porous JSS/SSS education has not equipped them with any decent knowledge of Economics, Government, Law or human relations, to rule a country. That is obvious from the number of miliatry/police brutalities that have gone on in Ghana over the past five years without anyone ever being charged. They will not fare any better than the clueless Mahama.

At the end of the day, you have to blame the Ghanaian voter who, in the face of all the problems of 2009/12 still connived with the idiotic Afare-Djan, to deprive Ghana of a needed change. NPP might not be any better, but if Ghanaian politicians understood that they stood to be replaced after every election, they would think twice about every decision they make while in office.

I would rather work for that, drum into the consciousness of the Ghanaian voter that politicians do not have to be rewarded for incompetence.
Cry the beloved country!

Kobena, you are right about everything you've said. Military will never be the answer but our JSS Politicians who have never experienced Military brutalities are giving them the chance to step in after we thought we have closed the door on Military rule. Military will never be the answer but the problem is that, unlike the Civilians who will fight for our votes to assume office, the Military doesn't need our approval and will pick up their guns when we least expect it.

I have been personally assaulted by the Military during Rawlings despotic rule and should be the last to advocate for Military rule but what these JSS Politicians are doing is pissing me off big time.

Thank you my brother, I do agree with you wholeheartedly.

Cardinal Sarpong or whatever you call yourself, I don’t really know what you mean; and what a short memory you have. My problem is, why are you talking of collusion causes or courses and in so much negativity with the military at this time?

You should have known long ago that if there was any time ever when the country needed ousting the President, that best time was Kuffor's time. He was Ghana's most sectionalist Head of State and he will go down in history as the President nobody ever wants to be reminded of.

Please keep your mouth shut in your kookoase enclave for Ghana is free now as no military has the right or reason to attempt anything stupid.

Now listen Mr Cardinal, a coup d’état in Ghana cannot be by Ashantis, would not be good for Ashantis and would better be avoided by Asantis as the real doom thereof will negate the prospects being implied by your long, cantankerous and wayward script. If Ashantis attempt anything stupid, they will learn by dawn in a few days’ time what a costly mistake they had committed themselves to as they are most likely to be rounded up shortly and advised tit-for-tat; in a tacit one man, one controller situation; very much in accordance with their presenting hubris.

I am just warning the Politicians to change their ways. It might not even be the Politicians but a civilian uprising like what happened in Egypt can happen in Ghana.

Nkrumah did good for Ghana, but he was a dictator and had to be overthrown. Only a dictator establishes an ideological institute, names it after himself, and in the end have young pioneers reciting the following; " Nkrumah does no wrong and Nkrumah never dies". It was terrible for him to establish mercenary camps in Ghana to destabilize African leaders who did not share his united Africa policy. In the end, Ghana was bankrupt and had only 500, 000 pounds in foreign reserves. He started with roughly 200 million pounds . Nkrumah's adventurism brought Ghana into the cold war and the country suffered. This is undeniable.

You call this incitement? People like you hate to hear bad messages but what he is saying is a reality that can happen and you can't wish it away by behaving like what he is talking about is a dream and not a reality.
