Homeless Rawlings
I am very baffled by the news that the President of the country is being fired by Spio because Rawling has been "made homeless".
Are we talking here about the founder of a Political Party or the founder of Nation? Are we being serious at all?
Is Rawlings truly homeless?
If the answer is "Yes", the next question is, "Does the Ghana government house homeless people in the country?"
Why do our Politicians think Rawlings is more important than any other person in the country? Who houses the retired farmer?
The politicia should go round the country and attend to the needs of the poor and the genuine homeless. |

Yaa Konadu Rawlings is an evil Yaa Konadu Rawlings is an evil, mean, disrespectful, agitator who is trying to insight tribal wars in Ghana. Her lack of respect of our democratically ellected PRES.DR.ATTA MILLS IS BEYOUND COMPRHENSION, TO GET ON THE GHANA MEDIA AND CALL HIM "MORTUARY MAN" she thinks Ghanaians have forgetting how she swindled money fron civil servants for her party and fires them if she does not get her way. Yaa Konadu mus not & should not be allowed to disgrace the NDC and the country at large, she should only be remembered at the footnotes of her husband's terror,intimidating, corrupt & dictatorial 20year rule in Ghana. Ghana is tied and fedip with this rawlings disfunction family, they must get out of the national politics scene and go back to his hometwon in Benin. |

Ghana Tourism I spend a few hours daily reading Ghana news online but so far I have not read anything about what the government is going to do to protect tourist?? I seen a lot of photos of your beautiful beaches that have a lot of potential to a tourist destination like in many other countries that could benefit the country and the people of Ghana but most people have such a bad impression of Ghana because of the out hand internet scamming on line that the government don't seem to think is something very important Ghana will never be a tourist destination unless the police clean up does cafe internets. From so much scamming and to start adding more photos of the country so potential tourist could see the beauty of the country , and is people but a few makes the whole country look bad Ghana cannot promote to be a vacation destination unless the government start investing on there own future tourist means jobs and better living for the Ghana people to improved there way way of life like many other counterys have done, is too much crime in Ghana and from what i read the punishment does not fit the crimes i have read over the last two years on line. I was planning to visit Ghana myself but with all the problems its having i don't feel safe visiting Ghana and that what is happening with all tourist they would like to visit but when they get on line to learn a little about the country all they read is bad news and crime out of control tourist travel to enjoy there vacation and to spend there money not worry if they going to get robbed on the way to there hotel or mugged on the streets Ghana is a beautiful country that could use tourist it has so much to offer for a tourist, but at this time is not a place a tourist want to visit because is a very unsafe place.. |

Subject: PURC recent INCREAMENT on the utility services from Mohammed Awal |
INCREAMENT on the utility services I write to share my thought on the PURC recent INCREAMENT on the utility services, that particular upward adjustment was meant to discredit the good work of the government, i believe those behind the increment knew that Ghana’s industries does not operate in isolation but in stiff competition with far more efficient and highly developed companies in America, china and other countries of the world, with that increment our struggling industries will further be weaken, it is therefore heart warming that the NDC government is taking a second look at the upward adjustment in order to review it. It is important for decision makers of our public institutions to stop taking decisions from narrow view of their institution’s interest but rather reflect over the implications of their actions to the industry and commerce. They must know and constantly be aware that our economy is not operating in isolation but in serious competition with the economies of countries that are advance in technology and have less operational cost due to efficient factors of production. They must know that the era of merely increasing prices to generate revenue is over, this time around you increase revenue through administrative and technological innovations that reduces cost of production and increases quality and efficiency on products and services so that you domestically increase your market levels and attract a lot more foreign direct investment in the economy, that is how we bring improvements in the economy in this 21st century and make a country competitive. No doubt the general public and players in industries came out and show their anger over the increment. We have strong trust in the capabilities of our leaders, but some times those in charge of our public institutions in their desire to increase revenue revert to orthodox methods which is not the best of practice these days.

Ghana International Airlines 
|
Why is nobody taking ownership of the problem with Ghana International Airlines? It is such a disgrace that this sort of thing is happening AGAIN! So many of us tried to be patriotic and fly with Ghana International (which used to be Ghana Airways) and now we appear to have lost our ticket money. Shame on the executives who have run the airline to the ground! No matter what happens now, none of us would fly the Ghana Flag again. I'm totally appalled by this and expect to get a full refund of my ticket. Wake up Ghanaians and stop being greedy! Remember that money for the country is for the millions who have Ghanaian heritage and not for a few greedy pigs! |

Nana - not our hope!
Nana can not be our hope if we have President Atta Mills with us. In fact it will be a great error on our part to vote to the extent of making nana a president when all he can do is to acquire 30yrs of political demostration and not help the poor to get job. If he had used that years for putting opposition right then i think He better stay there as that is where his experience belong.
Dear Ghana, as Kwame Pianim said,' he knows them and are incompetent, do not make a mistake. Any idiot can come like that. He (NANA ADDO) may be one.
I wish we thank God for giving us Mills not Nana Addo, Mahama not Alan.

J.J. Rawlings role model? Well, we need to call a spade a spade.If the NDC decides that grievances within the party should be addressed internally and Rawlings, who is supposed to be the leader and role model of the party decides to do otherwise, then Hon Haruna Iddrisu is only copying his role model, by his comments.
I must first observe that I expect Professor Mills to perform better than both Rawlings and Nkrumah because Professor Mills understudied both of them. Even if he learned nothing from their achievements, he could at least learn something from their mistakes. Nkrumah was a great leader but despite the fact that he had a degree in divinity, he forgot his God in his time of glory so God also forgot him. As a student of Nkrumah, Atta-Mills has clung to his God in his time of glory. Rawlings was a great leader but he hurt too many people in his zeal for national development. The hurt have all become the enemies of the NDC. Learning from the Rawlings experience, Professor Mills has to develop Ghana effectively but minimize the casualties. This is exactly what Proff is trying to do.
Moreover, both Nkrumah and Rawlings laid good infrastructural foundation for Atta Mills to ride on. Therefore, Proff has some advantages over his predecessors.
Logically therefore, Professor Atta Mills' performance within the first 2 years is better than that of J.J. Rawlings. T he first two years of Rawlings was chaos and very poor economic performance. It was the state of chaos during Rawlings's first-two years that led to the murder of the high court judges without his (Rawlings') knowledge. On the other hand, Proffesor Mills' first 2 years have seen unprecedented orderly democratic dispensation, without the usual rat-race.. |

GOD SAVE BAWKU
Permit me to add my voice to the long trouble area Bawku issue. Many poeple who are in authority,including the security personnels in the area seems not to be working towards the solution of this problem. we have seen how poeple break the laws of this country and walk away freely. A group of poeple have vow not to let this area see paece and are doing all manner of things to make sure that they achieve their aim yet no body seems to stop them or bring them to book.
Are the security in Bawku saying that Bawku has got it own laws? Or it is they who are ineffective?
The the national security and the Government of the day should sit up and ensure all the nosenses in the area is stop. poeple want to make the government unpopular by causing trouble here and there so they must sit up in order to stop.

Visit to Ghana / Volta Region and Ho *February 2010 |
John Leightell, Canadian Coordinator, DAVS / Oakville, Canada (February 2010) I have just returned from Ghana where I worked with Dream Africa Volunteer Service (DAVS), in the town of Ho in the Volta Region. Based on my experience there I would like to share a few observations. I should first qualify them by stating that I was only there for a few weeks and as such they may be superficial and secondly that I was in Ho the whole time (except for one day in Accra) and therefore my observations apply only to that location. |
I have divided my comments into: A: Education; B: People or Possessions |
A: Education |
While I was in Ho I worked on two projects; teaching mathematics in a junior school; and providing free computer training courses for young adults. What was quickly apparent was that the young students (7 & 8 year olds) had a good grasp of English, while the adults did not. It was quickly apparent that for education to move forward competence in English is essential. My second concern is the cost of implementing universal education. In the Ho region I saw little sign of an educational infrastructure. I do not understand how the cost of providing schools, equipping them, providing technology tools and trained teachers will be met. And how can you ensure that it is equally available to all. Finding money for school uniforms, school books, and school fees is beyond the means of most families. |
| B: People or Possessions |
We all measure our success, by some arbitrary measure. In the west, despite the protests of the few, the measure most often used is the accumulation of Possessions – how many homes, cars, boats – a person has accumulated. It is an easy scale to use since it translates readily into a dollar amount. And like most ‘easy’ solutions it has little ‘value’. A more important measure is one based on an individual’s relationship to others; their concern for others and those less fortunate than themselves. It is a measure of their humanity. And it has been my experience that these two measures, People or Possessions, are opposites. Progress in one is nearly always accomplished by regression in the other. During the time I spent in Ho, I was able to spend time with many local residents and what I observed was richness as People and a relative poverty in Possessions; they were more concerned with the needs of their neighbours than with their own personal gain. Almost the exact opposite of what is prevalent in Europe and North America. And the question you must answer, going forward, is what measure do you want to use to assess the future progress of Ghana? I left with a feeling that the future of Ghana is far from certain, but then things of lasting value are never easily attained. There is an urgency to develop the tools and infrastructure needed to move Ghana closer to the standards of the west. Inherent in that view is that the west is somehow ‘better’ than Ghana. Do not believe it. You have the advantage of us; you still put people before possessions. You have in large measure what we have already lost. Do not throw it away in your race to modernity. |
