JOHN MAHAMA IS LUCKY TO BE SURVIVING BY TRIBALISM OTHERWISE HIS OWN PEOPLE SHD DEAL WITH HIM FOR DESTROYING SADA WITH CRONIES AND FAMILY...As the Accounting to the People (JM Self-appraisal) tour hit the three Northern Regions (Upper East, Upper West & Northern region), northerners were eagerly waiting for their kinsman (John Mahama) and his NDC administration to account to us how they have generated and used SADA (savanna accelerated development authority) monies. To our utmost disappointment, and dismay we were never told anything as far as SADA is concern. Under this poverty alleviation project called SADA, Millions of Dollars were misappropriated and siphoned from the project kitty. As a result of this, SADA has now becomes a vehicle through which our Northerners have been impoverished. And up to date, nobody is held accountable for those monies. A classic example is the guinea fowl & tree planting projects where unbelievable amount of monies were sunk into those ghost projects and not even a single tree or guinea fowl can be shown for it. The saddest part of the SAD SADA story is that all this unfortunate revelations happen under a northern president, who should have known how the ordinary poor northerner is suffering down here. The people who wish SADA succeeds have been northerners including the very president under whose watch we have retrogressed as a nation and as northerners in particular.

JOHN MAHAMA TAKES AKUA DONKOR WITH HIM TO NIGERIA AND ITALY ETC ON IMPORTANT NATIONAL DUTIES WHILST TECHNOCRATS SIT IDLY BY......hahahahaaa he is taking the presidency and ghanaians for a ride....The reason why we (Ghanaians) see this so called "Accounting to the People Tour" as unnecessary and self-praising tour is that; the country Ghana as we speak today is on its knees bleeding to death as a result of mismanagement, corruption, bad policies, incompetence etc. of the John Mahama & NDC administration. Ghanaians would have appreciated it far better if John Mahama had concentrated on reducing the mismanagement, wicked policies, corruption etc.
So far, following John Mahama’s “Accounting to the People Tour”, I don't remember JM telling even one District he visited how much he and his NDC administration has received in terms of income (both taxes & borrowed funds).
Available records from the finance ministry and other government agencies show that the Mahama-led National Democratic Congress government has had access to a massive flow of resources in the last seven years than any other government in the past. Taxes, loans and oil revenues alone amount to an inflow of some GHC 200 billion within that period. Under the eight years of the previous Kuffuor-led New Patriotic Party government, from 2001-2008, government revenue from taxes and loans and amounted to some GHC 20.00 billion.

This means in the last seven years, the NDC government has had, in nominal terms received at least 10 times the resources the NPP had in eight years with virtually nothing to show for it.
Notwithstanding all these massive inflow of resources in terms of taxes revenue, loans, and revenue from gold, cocoa and oil exports amongst others, public finances are in such a bad state to the extent that we had to seek an IMF bailout. That is the record of the last seven budgets of this NDC government.

What prevents the leadership to bring the recalcitrant kings and queens to book? Isn't it a sign of weak leadership for not dealing drastically with the offenders? It is.
