Ghana is getting interesting and your likes cannot stop amazing me. I understand you are still tagging former President John Mahama with incompetence after your mass distribution of expired consumables to your flood victim brothers in Northern Ghana.
Eeiii Dr. Bawumia, Jesus Christ was indeed right when he admonished us not to give pearls to the swine, lest they trample them under their feet….
[ads1]You said “after many years of such economic management, the people of Ghana gave us the privilege to change course, but after just 20 months in office, the difference is clear. There is a big difference, if you look at the macroeconomic indicators, and they don’t like looking at it because it exposes their incompetence. ”
I wouldn’t have had a problem if you stopped from “the difference is clear, there is a big difference ” but you made mention of macroeconomic indicators; again? Of what use is your so called indicators if it does not translate meaningfully in the lives of the masses? I have always told you that there is no need inciting Ghanaians against former President Mahama, now that you are bragging of competent management of the economy, would it not be much sensible if you encourage Ghanaians to look into their pockets, assess critically their standard of living, juxtaposing it with their pockets under the leadership of John Dramani Mahama before casting their votes in 2020?
Enough of the beer parlour provocations, Ghanaians are terribly suffering, kindly address needs of the citizenry, your talking is becoming too much with nothing meaningful to show for it.
Now let’s look at your statement “the difference is clear, there is a big difference.” Indeed there is a very big difference between what Ghanaians enjoyed under the competent leadership of JM and what they are enduring under the leadership of the misled dog!
JM borrowed about GHc 40billion in his entire 4 year mandate with numerous projects to show for it. The Kwame Nkrumah interchange to ease traffic, the Ridge Hospital which is now a tourist site, the Legon Teaching hospital, the Tamale Teaching Hospital, the Rehabilitation of the Bolgatanga Regional Hospital, and many others. You and your con boss, have borrowed over GHS40billion in just 2 years with nothing to show for it; not even a KVIP; indeed the difference is clear, there is a big difference!
JM, competently appointed few Ministers from various backgrounds who have no close family ties what so ever it is and was accused by you and your con boss of running a bloated family and friends government but under the current ‘political conmanship’ of you dudes we are seeing an elephant sized family and friends government; Infact, we now have an Akyem FC as government, something you frown on not too long ago.
Indeed, the elephant eats according to its size without conscience! The difference is clear, there is a big difference!
JM eschewed corruption, infact, he detested it so much, he said, when it comes to corruption, it does not matter whose ox is gored, he established the Economic and Organised Crime Office to investigate and prosecute corrupt public officials who are found guilty but under political conmen in the person of you and the misled dog, the fight against corruption has been reduced to the microphone. You’ve turned yourselves into corruption clearing agents ensuring that corrupt appointees are always shielded. You appointed a talking cricket in the person of Papa Alamisi to supervise the Akyem league loot state resources with reckless abandon. He is now seriously lamenting though.
But on a more serious note Mr. Martin Amidu is an unchained mad dog, the earlier we understand and chain him the better for you. The difference is clear, there is a big difference!
Under Mahama Investors could access the Presidency any day, any time with the appropriate appointment to discuss business matters with the President and Veep free of charge.
NOW Investors have to cough hefty sums to presidential staffers as gatefees before accessing the Presidency. The difference is clear, there is a big difference!
JM ensured the security of the masses was always guaranteed without regards to one’s class in the society. Now what are we seeing? The security of the country has deteriorated beyond reasonable doubts! Criminals are now protected by Nolle Prosequi, miscreants are encouraged, criminality has been entrenched by subtle executive order. Our courts are threatened as result of this recklessness and the masses are doomed always living under perpetual fear and panic. The difference is clear, there is a big difference!
Under the erstwhile Mahama regime, our local banks had strong fundamentals, they employed lots of our youths, customers could withdraw their savings at ease, but guess what we are seeing today; Our local banks are distressed, collapsing everyday. One finds extremely difficult to withdraw large sum of his savings from his accounts, cheques are bouncing everyday. Indeed there is a big difference!
Prices of petroleum products were relatively cool and stable under JM, sold at GHc16 per gallon, the exchange rate was also relatively stable @Ghs 4.10 – 4.20 per the US dollar. Today less than 2 years of Political conmen, a gallon of fuel cost GHc 25 and it can be insensitively increased any day, the Cedi to the dollar now stands GHc 5.30- 5.50 per dollar. As for the pound it is gone! Competence indeed. The difference is clear.
NHIS is on its knees, even ribbons to issue new cards are unavailable, there is a total freeze in public sector recruitment despite the public deception by Kojo Oppong Nkrumah yester. There’s a huge public debt, homosexuality starring at us in the face, massive unemployment etc.
At this juncture, I wish to ask you about the whereabouts of the answers to the hundred and seventy (170) so called economic questions on Ghana’s economy you asked the Late Paa Kwesi Amissah Arthur of blessed memory. Has your marking scheme been torn during your coma?
What happened to your lengthy economic lectures? Has Central University been closed down or it is now screening animal television shows?
So still talk about competence after distributing expired food to the flood victims?
Come 2020 Ghanaians will have to choose between Incompetent NDC and Competent Liars NPP.
Today, Ghanaians are in tears enduring the agonizing trauma of our mistakes; the political conmen (Nana Akuffo Addo and veep Dr. Bawumia). We now know that it was all about power without candour, conscience and moral compass. It is obvious your objective is to enrich yourselves and clamour aggressively for a second term. You do not intend seeking a re-election on merit, everything shows, the reason for you to incite Ghanaians against JM.
But there is hope in the midst of this disaster, it is about the second coming! As citizens, we are prepared to defend our future with all our might. To all who thirst for liberty… Arise, arise, ooo sons of Ghana! Let’s choose hope over fear; let’s go for JM.
