This MP does not seem to understand something well. He seems to be living in his dreams. Who cares what happens days after MPs are voted off power. Where in the constitutions are the time period of the services that MPs. Provides spelt? They have no time limit so what is he talking about? If you are an MPs and you provide a good job, what shows that you constituency would vote you out? This is the reason why you are supposed to be for the people. Therefore why do MPs have to be giving money, from the counties budget, thinking that one day they would be voted out? This is the most typical NONSENCE ever heard from someone who says he intelligent. That money should be called or hauled back it is illegal for these MPs to keep that money. It is a form of stealing, it is rubbery. Rubbery with the mind and stealing from the Government coffers by cohesion. No one has force them the get into politics. There are so many Job openings out there, if you are scared that one day you would not have a Job to do, why do you go there in the first place. Mr. MP. You are a big fool. Your dreams are full of shite that nonsense has shown you have nothing to offer to the people you represent, and to Ghana. You should be the first to go, put before accountability when the Bomb explodes.

who would pay the price3, this would be the question , when the timyou are right to cry , how can such a fool be an MP? you see, because he has no confidence in him self, to win agai and again so he is crying of what to eat when the time comes. the time would come because he couled realized he did no good for his people. May be he was there for his stomac seek oh yes that is what it was.why bwould some one who thinks he is good think like this? A big fool, living in the pempers paradise. now he is scared for he knows very well there is time for ever thing.
one thing he has entirely forgotten is what has been kept on the table for him.
let me tell you, as JJ Rwalings said, " the stick that was used for Asumasi is lying there" my question now is lying there for what? ANS:- to be use to whip those crazy basturds like him (Kwaku A. Manu)
Now let him read this:- How can Ghana pay for this guys wrong habites, Job that he didnt do well? if he had done a good Job, his constituency would have kept on voting for him all his life.So now he is worried, but who force him into politics any way? one thing he got to know is there are so many Jobs in the world, and if you cant swame, why jump into it? Mr. MP chect this out:- you are going to pat for your greed one day thus when the power man come ask yourself who is the powerman to comes? No one kows the answer to this untill it ermeges at or door steps.

Capt. Koomsom was only stating the obvious. If Ghana continues the way it is going, something more than a coup is bound to happen.

Ghana is really moving into a big fall. i privid these two reasons.
1.This is why an article surface lastweek to alert Ghanaians that there is going to be another June4 one day and I believe that would be a very Big and massive explosion, for the people still dont hear. yes they do not feel for the poor. 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.
with this analogy, just remmemdr there is nothing called covere ups, things shall come out clean and every living being shall see.
2.This MP does not seem to understand something well. He seems to be living in his dreams. Who cares what happens days after MPs are voted off power.

HOW CAN A POLICEMAN, SOLDIER, NURSE, TEACHER, CIVIL SERVANT SERVE THE NATION FOR ALMOST 40 YEARS AND HIS/HER RETIREMENT BENEFIT IS LESS THAN GHC30,000 WHEREAS AN MP WHO SERVES IN PARLIAMENT FOR 4 YEARS IS RETIRED WITH GHC311,000? A COUP D'ETAT WILL BE JUSTIFABLE BY ALL STANDARDS. NATIONAL SECURITY SHOULD TAKE NOTE AND THINK ABOUT IMPROVING THE RETIREMENT BENEFIT OF THE EX-SERVICEMEN AND THE LIKES////

THE doors are opened, the Right time has come, for always the Right thing must be followed and be done
It would surprise the people of Ghana when the time comes. look like Jesus said "if no one would worship him, the stones shall awaken and do so" what do I mean to say? as some one said Ghana is sitting on the time BOMB a few days ago, people misunderstood this Capt. but I would like to use this medium once ago,to alert people of what he really mean. what this Capt. said would come LIVE, and ever one shall be surprise.
Look if the Blamed man warns you or tells you he is going to stone you, than remmember he has a kind of hope.
Now the way has been clared to all. who would again ask where is the time Bomb going to come from?
Now the whole world has seen whats going on in Ghnana, a country best respected by thr international community of its on going democracy.
So if some one interupts it for some few days with a coup what country would say what? for example if some one takes over this country now, because of all these nonsence going on, inthe aboundance of all these coehsive nacked rubbries,Stealling and mismanaging of our countirs natural resouces and fianceses etc. How can we sit down uncorncern, while this country is indirectly sold to these Chinese? how can we sit unconcern, whiles our Gold is freely stolen and exported to Iran?
the time has come. now the chanells of the revelution, uprising has been opend and expose. The Bomb is going to rock, sweep across the whole nation and those who have ears shall see those who are strong shall survive and the week gone!, gone again
this is only going to be a for a few days, and a freash election shall be organised and put the country on track of its Democracy, for Democracy is the best option. Those who knew in the heart that they can not do politics would not go close to it any longer. For politics is for politicians. AMEN

IT IS NOTTHE SOLDIERS ALONE. CIVILIANS MUST ALSO RISE UP. WE HAVE TO GATHER AT PARLIAMENT HOUSE. FRAUDULENT PAYMENTS AND STOLEN MONIES SHOULD BE PROSECUTED. DOCTORS AND TEACHERS MUST ALSO BE PAID EX-GRATIA.

Dr. Borkor, what saying is brainwashing the populace against any military coup in terms of tribe. Have forgotten JJ Rawlins killed some senior Ewe officers and ewe tribesmen did nothing. I bet you if even the few ewe politicians are running the Country aground and the majority are suffering, the rest will support it. The same will apply to any other tribe so Dr. don't hind the crumble you are enjoying NDC cooks and throw dust into the poor country folks eye. I am also a retired Army Major, I will support any military coup topple greedy bastard and hopefully every soldier be he/she a serving or retired. We are suffering so under NDC government's mismanagement. Be careful, once a soldier always a soldier.

Dr Bokor has actually made my day. This piece should be published in one of the national dailies so people can be well educated on the consequences of such an unthinkable event called coup d'états.
It is a fact that the concerns of Capt Koomson enumerated in his article are institutional problems and must be addressed by the institutions concerned. Capt Koomson knows what goes into coup d'états and should not have mentioned it at all. He goofed big time.
Good work Dr Bokor and God bless you.

Rawlings & co.These guys plugged this country centuries back.So my question is why are some of us agitating for a coup.People know that democracy is not a day fix all,there will be mistakes and corrections as we move this country democratically forward.So please stop coup d'tat nonsense.Let's build stronger institutions to help with good governance,zero corruption,good education,good roads,health,energy,water, and build trust that this country will work sincerely with genuine investors .Capt Koomson same on you.
Please know that coups do not and has never solved problems. Thanks

Japan is about 1,000 years old and is still fighting corruption. Who also said fighting corruption is an overnight affair? We should use whatever means to prosecute people. Coup or no coup.

Who is that so called capt Koomsson? And what are the Military high hierarchy doing about him? Oh Ghana Army? It will surely never be the same again.Sometimes I am ashamed to be identify with it.A mother fucker so called capt with such reckless pronouncements and the authorities are seating down unconcerned lookig at him? How much has he been given by those who ar telling him to overthrow aconstitutional government.I wonder where this so called capt was in 1979 and 1981.He should be ashmed of himself to just imagine a coup in this country.I wouldn´t be suprissed that he is one of them many in the Officer´s corps who stolen somebody´s certificate for to join the Army.We know tham.They are there in their numbers.A bloody so called capt.He should try it and let´s all see? There is no more vetting in the Army so that thieves and criminals like this so called capt Koomsoon could have his way into this noble prefession.
