GHANA'S early hopes were dashed by exclusionary politics, poor economic management and corruption, which created and perpetuated political instability.
ARE WE GOING TO LEARN FROM OUR MISTAKES AND FIX THEM OR ARE WE GOING TO BLINDLY LOOK AWAY N CONTINUE TO WALLOW IN MEDIOCRITY?
John Mahama(first president of Ghana with 24 children from 13 women)who wants to be president at all cost, hence his decision to steal GHC8 billion from our treasury to pay his
way to the presidency with the help of Afari Gyan. It is the same John Mahama(first president of Ghana with 24 children from 13 women)going around telling NDC foolsoldiers that God
ordained him to be president at all cost. What has Ghana achieved under Mills/Mahama/Amissah Arthur leadership, despite high Gold,Cocoa prices and our new found oil revenues ?
Is it the dum-sor,dum-sor,high fuel prices,high food prices,irregular gas supplies,high rate of crime,strikes all over the country by public servants ?
THIS GUY MAHAMA HAS ENUFF KIDDIES TO FORM HIS OWN COUNTRY. SO HE RESORTS TO STEALING GH LOAN MONIES TO TAKE CARE IF HIS GARGAUNTUAN FAMILIES.....
MAHAMA SAYS HE IS A CHRISTIAN? NO CHRISTIAN WILL HAVE THIS MANY KIDS OUT OF WEDLOCK.

You are an idiot and stop shouting. An Economy that increased from 3.8 billion to 32 billion economy cannot be said to have been left in deplorable condition.

Moron, when NPP assumed office in 2001, we have more debts, 7.2 billion than GDP, 7.2 billion compared to 3.8 billion. When NPP left in 2009, we have a GDP of 32 billion and a debt of 8.2 billion and you call that deplorable condition? Our inflation when NDC left in 2001 was 42% and NPP reduced it to 18%.

NDC left a 3 week import coverage in 2001 but NPP left an import coverage of 3 months in 2009.

NPP left the economy in a better footing which has been destroyed by the NDC, the same party that left Ghana in HIPC status in 2001.

All of this nonsense must stop and people should serve jail terms as deterrant to others to do the right thing.
There will be no point in doing this if the status quo about doing nothing is not changed. strong signal must be sent to all and sundry by way of punishing culprits.
If the GRA is not working to efficiency , why so? Do we still have people nickel and diming the State in inordinate ways?
Such nuts should be flushed out. Appointing a new guy will not solve the problem but punishing the culprits will.

There is so much criminality going on in our country everywhere in in this man's own backyard. I will strongly advise him together with all the stakeholders and all the opinion leaders to help find a lasting solution to some of these common issues rather than sit on radio stations just like most of them do. Do these people not have a set agenda for each passing day with targets on what to achieve? They are all clueless. Even if you as a so called leader can mobilize the people in your community to clean their small community on a weekend once a month, it will be a step forward rather than all the rubbish we hear everyday from you these politicians. Has politics now become a means to an end for you people? And the sad part is that it is only the innocent ignorant people that suffer for your careless utterances on radio.

People like this man will continue to send our country back. Can anyone on this forum tell me what this man has done for his consituency since he was elected other than flaunt his muscles around like all our politicians. These people agree on pay rise without any complaints but have not come out with anything innovative in the form of job creation, improving utilities delivery, social issues, the filth in our systems and our numerous problems. All they do is spend most of the day on radio stations talking nonsense and still being paid with tax payers money. The impudence. If you don't have any alternative solutions to what has been suggested just shut up. All you people do on a daily basis is divide our country through irresponsible utterances. Enough is enough. At least leave us to look for our daily bread. Your bread is buttered so you have no need to cry. Any idiot is now a politician in this our dear country. Instead of you people all coming together to look for a common ground to solve our problems all you do is gloat. All of you NDC, NPP, CPP and the rest, all the same. If you spend all day on radio stations who should the people in your constituency consult or turn to to help them develop their communities. Nonsense.

I agree...this is a vicious cycle - when the people pay taxes (no matter how little they may be)and there is no apparent real use of these resources, no one will continue to pay. In many developed places, the people run to the tax office or file their taxes before the deadline - one, because they know the system is such that there are consequences if you fail to pay on time and they also know that the collectors of these funds ensure that they will be put to good use. Take TV licence fee for eg - instead of taxing it at the point of sale, people who were being patriotic enough to pay the first time are the people who continue to be harrassed. If you leave this to the end user, it will never be paid.

"
Mr. Essilfie said Ghanaians always complain about deplorable state of schools, roads, hospitals and more so if Ghanaians pay more taxes, it will help the government provide those facilities".
But how do we pay more taxes when majority of Ghanaians are unemployed?Even those who are lucky to find themselves either in Private or Public entities,have to cheat to make ends meet and that is the results of the epidemic corruption going on in the Country.
Not only the Ghanaiann Government is spending more than it takes in,it seems in Ghana almost everybody is living beyond their means.

If Mahama and his disappointing government will put guinea fowls and afforestation at dry season in the Savanna North as national priority over the immediate basic needs of Ghanaians like portable drinking water, housing, electrification, medication, better roads, jobs and youth vocational training, then certainly, the government is embarrassingly confused and lost, can't fix the problems.

Mahama's government is simply a joke and never get anything right with such ethnocentric incompetent appointees making the country look like social chaotic and a dead place.
